Hi Guys,
I seem to have problems connecting to the internet. I currently have Internet Max and the only sites I can browse is Google.co.uk, Three.co.uk and the My3 Account page. I can also access the internet via google's web to mobile feature but sometimes it doesnt work.
I noted that in other forums people recommend getting x-series. But to me I dont think it will help me as I cant seem to even access the internet. It seems like I'm stuck on 3's intranet? I've also had a samsung F700 with the same problem. called up 3 but they say the phone I'm using is just not supported. But they did try to help me with my F700. I havent called them yet about my tytn ii yet?
I've set up the internet with just the apn as three.co.uk
can someone please help? Thanks

Hello Guys,
So I'm on Simple Mobile (on t-mobile network) and I activated mobile internet soon as I got my vibrant. Before, I used wi-fi and everything worked well. But when I enabled mobile internet (My provider gave me settings for G1 & G2. I thought that it would be good enough for my vibrant), I faced these problems
*The default web browser won't connect to internet
*Other applications seem to work fine
*I can browse android market but any downloads I make are unsuccessful.
Its just so weird that some apps are able to connect to internet and some don't. Is this a known issue or is it something with the settings I got from my provider?
any help/comments would be appreciated!
Different apps probably communicate on different ports. I know when I got mine from T-Mobile the rep had to edit my account to add the Android data plan even though I already had unlimited data he just needed to change the provisioning. The only reason I can think of is that maybe it unlocked different ports.
Has anyone got tethering working on Three UK? Been looking for some info for some time now but it seems ppl just get some sort of errors.
I've been searching for the same answer. I setup the tethering on my Omina 7 but can't connect as I don't have the three dial up number which all the guides seem to require.

Yea,,,, the same:'(
And you have tryed used the software that comes with 3? I have used my own operator here in Sweden and that works.
hey guys, came across your thread, 3 does not support tethering on their network as they are waiting for the offical windows software to come out to do it, which i am annoyed about as i got this phone on the basis it can tether. however if you still want the number it is *99# to dial to and u do not require a username or password (worked on my blackberry 9700), I am currently downloading the verizon vzaccess software as this supposidly allows the omnia to tether so I shall see what that comes back with
Still not able to connect using this... Anybody had better luck?
do you want to use usb-tethering or internet sharing (hotspot)?

This is for USB tethering.
Internet Sharing works perfectly, thankfully!
Hello,
I have an Huawei E1752 desimlocked.
So I have inserted the SIM from my phone into the 3G Dongle.
Connection works fine (I can connect to my ISP). But when I use a web browser, the only webpage I can see is my ISP web home page! Asking me to pay "for surfing"?
So:
1. I wonder how they can know that I'm not using my phone but my Tablet (same system: Android and same web browser)?
2. How to bypass this? Is there a solution?
Regards

Perhaps it might be the user agent currently set for the browser that's a giveaway? Try changing it and see what happens.
thank you for your reply
Before posting I had already tried this. No change
I think there is something different but what.
Hi,
Firstly I should introduce myself, my name is George, live in Essex and have a passion for cars and gadgets.
I've been roaming this forum since I had my first android device a HTC Hero and try and use search as much as possible rather than repeating other peoples problems but I am properly stuck with this one..
To be short,
Device Details:
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android Version: 4.2.1
Carrier: Orange (EE)
Problem: Portable hotspot is active and I can connect to it from various devices but there is no data pass through.
Solutions tried:
Changing the APN type to every possible solution mentioned (i.e consumer broadband etc)
Using both open and sercured sercurity on the hotspot
Connecting using everything from another phone to my Google Chromebook and all imbetween
I've read there has been mention of Orange blocking this but most people find this isn't the case and its usually fixed via the APN.
The only thing that looks slightly odd is that an ipconfig on my windows machine(s) shows 192.168.xxx.xxx yet the IP address displayed by my Nexus is 10.166.xxx.xxx and if I ping my Nexus's IP from my machine i do get a response.... (all when connected to the hotspot)
Even with a ip release/renew still picks up 192.168
So that is my issue....
I can't think of anything else bar a factory reset which i'd rather not do just yet so thought i'd ask here first I geuinely searched everywhere!
any help would be much appreciated....
Don't mean to bump this but if anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated!
Even if someone could just confirm they are using the Orange/EE network with the Nexus 4 and has it working?
Thank you!!
i'm also on orange (EE).
bummer. mine's not working either. i thought it was but i think i was connecting to my router's wifi instead.
i also tried bluetooth tethering but couldn't get that working at all.
A sort of "me too", here: I'm also an Orange (EE) customer who can't get WiFi (or Bluetooth) tethering to work. However, USB tethering works fine - just appears to install a RNDIS virtual Ethernet adapter, and then just works.
Using Wireshark, I noticed that DNS lookups (which use the phone as a DNS server/ proxy) actually work. However, SYNs for connections to hosts on the Internet go unanswered. I'm beginning to suspect that the phone just isn't forwarding packets from the WiFi interface to the cell interface (but no idea why)
As a sort of aside: I'm pretty sure this used to work on my Motorola Atrix via Orange.
Having the exact same problem, running CM10.1.
Have messed around with APN settings but does nothing, laptop connects phone and even shows as having internet access but trying to visit any site just times out.
I have tried the exact same hotspot configuration with a giffgaff (O2) sim card and it works fine, so it must be Orange!
Hey guys,
So, I'm on Lollipip (Temasek 10.5 5.1.1 to be exact) and I've found after using it for a few days that one of the new features that Google put in is making wifi really frustrating.
When it detects a wifi as having no internet connection, it puts it into a blacklist so that it doesn't keep trying to connect. Now, as I'm in China, I'm basically getting all my hotspots blocked. I have to manually click each one and Connect.
My question is there any way to disable this or to enter the target server google uses to check if internet works or not? If I could change it to a local Chinese website, then it should be fine too.
Thx
