Hi there,
I'll explain what's wrong here, I have a Samsung S3 i9300 with Android 4.3.1 (SlimBean) and everything works fine. Only when I turn on WiFi (tried several), my internet acces is limited to the google site, and some apps like Facebook and Whatsapp. But when I try to navigate to other websites, I recieve a -Not found- error.
So it seems like technically everything is ok (otherwise I also couldn't open google in my browser). Other devices connected to the same network do not have this issue. I tried to change DNS settings (e.g. 8.8.8.8), but this is not possible in 4.3.1 as far as I can see.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Does it happen on a particular WiFi network or any WiFi?
Is your WiFi hidden?
You can try making Android forget this network & again manually setting it up.
You can also check for any App that may be restricting WiFi traffic
EDIT:
You can change WiFi network settings even in 4.4.2 KitKat
Long Press your Wifi -> Modify Network -> Check 'Show Advanced Options' -> Change IP Settings to 'Static'
Now all settings incl DNS will be visible & you can change them.
I tested several networks and they're not hidden.
I use DroidWall, but uninstalling this does not have an effect unfortunately. Also forgetting and reconnecting does not help.
[EDIT]
Thanks for the tip, however this also does not give me access to the rest of the world wide web..

Did try using some software such as Wifi Connection Fixer?
Also did you try using different browsers on your phone?
I was having such an issue with ebay.in on the stock browser my i9300. But the same thing loaded perfectly with Chrome.
Clearing the Data & Cache of the stock browser helped later on.
I will try the Wifi Fixer, thanks!
I tried two different browsers without luck, and it is a problem beyond the browser imo, because the Play Store also can not download apps when connected to WiFi. I can search for apps, but when I want to download them, it gives me a -no connection, retry-..

If nothing works, I guess you might have to reflash your ROM after clearing the whole data & cache.. :crying:
IMO, CM11 M2 (Android 4.4.2) is quite good, just flashed it on my S3..
Well, I now changed the DNS settings to the google DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and rebooted the phone and this did the trick.
I don't really understand it, but I am glad I can use my phone without wiping it completely again!

Yesterday, I successfully updated to android 2.1. I have confirmed that the APN information is correct and that there is sufficient network coverage. I have activated data in the settings - yet I cannot seem to get a data connection. Unless I activate WIFI, neither facebook nor mail will update, and I also cannot open websites in several browsers (opera, fennec, standard browser, dolphin).
I also don't get an icon for 3g or hsdpa connection.
Anyone having the same problem? Or even better... a solution?
Best,
-Mike

I would say it's your carriers networks are down. I had a similar problem but the 3G symbol was there and it just would download anything. I then disabled juice defender and it works perfectly.
If you are running the nordic kit this seems to be a fairly common problem. One of the guys over at phandroid fixed this by going to the SIM Toolkit and downloading settings, but I did not have this option. I was able to get it working temporarily by fiddling with the APN settings, but then like you it just failed to work any more.
I have flashed back to 1.6 and am now going to update with generic uk firmware.
So - I tried the Sony Ericsson option in the settings (topmost menu entry) to automatically download settings, I tried setting them manually, I tried auto-configuring via the apn-options... nothing worked...
then, suddenly, without having changed anything - I get a 3G signal. Seems to have sorted itself out for whatever reason. Will update in case anything changes.

Hello,
I have a problem with my home network since some day. When I'm trying another networks everything is working fine. Using my home wifi I have a problem with very slow connecting to web (browser, weather, youtube...)... I tried to do "forget network" and to add back current network, but I don't know if it is sufficient. How can I delete all settings for each network saved in my phone?
Thank you

A safe way to remove all network settings is to do a factory reset/wipe data or a hard reset of the phone.
But you will lose all settings, apps, data, etc.
If you only want to reset the network settings, try to clear data from all network/wifi apps in Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => All apps => ...
Good luck !
maybe its an interference issue in your home wifi router... try this... install wifi analyzer from market... see if any other wifi nearby is in the same channel as yours...
if there's another one (maybe neighbours)... changing channel might solve the issue..
Hi,
I tried hard reset. Still the same. After that I tried wi-fi analyzer, I found several wireless networks at same channel like was mine in that time = 1 (router is set on auto). I set channel to different = 13 - but nothing changed.... It is incomprehensible for me....

Its WiFi settings not network so try flashing a different modem .
If that does not work its your WiFi/Router at fault or its settings .
You make no mention of your firmware but you could try an upgrade to a later firmware .

Thank you very much JJEgan.
After update of newer firmware of my router is everything fine!! (you saved my mental health) ...... But I still don't understand, what's happened with router two weeks ago.
hi,
I'm on android 4.0.4 aokp with syriah kernel. my google play and gmail don't sync. it constantly times out. I tried doing a full wipe and installing a different rom, they worked, but only for a few hours, then the same thing happened again. so I'm back to aokp.
facebook works fine, the web browing works fine. but downloading files from the web doesn't download, times out. also gmail syncing doesn't sync and google play app store doesn't sync.
some things work, some don't. doing a fresh rom install the apps work fine for like a few hours, then all of a sudden some work some don't. using 3G data only. no wifi. wifi does load everything properly though, it's the 3G data it doesn't like.
all this wasn't happening when I had stock firmware running only.
any ideas?
thanks
Check your APN settings and check if you are routed through a Proxy.
If so, write it down and try if it works without.
Also make sure the APN settings match the ones made public by your provider.
there were a few options to choose from
mobile
mobile (open)
internet
SMS
MMS
is mobile open like internet without a firewall? I chose it because it had no proxy ip. regardless, this worked. cheers mate. what's your paypal email to transfer funds for saying thanks :>
Mate, theres a "Thanks" button, most if not all members here aren't in it for monetary gain... Just thanks are enough, and the hope you'll help out others if they post with the same problem... :highfive:
When I try to share my mobile data connection to laptop, my laptop can't access internet.
No matter if I use USB or Wifi connection.
Everything seems to be ok, as far as settings are conserned.
Computer recognises and connects ok to the wifi hotspot or usb connection, but can't access internet.
I've tried stock rooted/unrooted and foxhound roms without luck.
Old SGS2 can share net without a problem in sight on every custom rom I've tried. I really need my "lifeline" to work with this phone.
Suggestions anyone?
[ My operator tele-finland sent 2 settings files: internet and wap. Problem was, that the WAP settongs went as default APN... ]
Edit: I've tried Foxfi app with no luck. Seems like there is a signifigant problem with my phone settings conserning mobile data, sice foxfi couldn't verify my internet connection and facebook doesn't automatically update status and youtube app can't load a single video to display...

Nice app, though it has trial quota and USB tethering only.
But one slight problem... still no internet connection.
Is the only way to (totally) reset mobile data operator settings by making factory reset/full wipe?:crying:

I used to have the exact same problem. However mine got fixed by editing the APN. Try clearing out the 'authentication type' and 'apn type' fields.
Thank you circuit89! My operator had sent me two setrings, internet and wap... Guess which one was chosen as default
Solution was to change default APN to internet from that obsolete WAP
Haven't been able to see or change themes or log in or out since yesterday. Is the themer server having problems again or is just me?

Try switching to mobile data/restarting your phone/reinstalling Themer. One of these should work

Okay, well that seems to be it, switching to Mobile Data. But why? It's always worked before over wifi and nothing has changed in my Internet status or on my phone. Same internet, same cable modem, same router, same ROM with the same settings. And I've rebooted modem, router, and phone. What can I look for that could be blocking Themer beta from working on my phone (GNII) over wifi that has changed since 2 days ago?
Edit: Unless Google is hiding some kind of firewall tweak inside a recent Search or YouTube update, I'm stumped!
Edit 2: All other Internet services on the phone including T-Mobile wifi calling are working normally.
The issue to me is themer same thing data works fine wifi a pain in arse,as you say this has only been an issue over the last couple of days.Also now running very sluggish,everything else again is running fine over wifi just themer having issue
Problem solved, sort of: I've isolated the issue to my own Charter cable connection. It works fine on mobile or wifi data connection outside of my own location. In my Motorola cable box, if I go to the firewall settings, and change the firewall protection to "none," Themer works. But if I change it to "Low," it doesn't, even though I've always had it on "low." Guessing they pushed out an update or changed something on the backend.
Can anyone tell me what port (if not port 80) that Themer uses on the phone to connect to themer servers?
