GPS and Internet error - Vibrant General

hie,
i've been getting communication error on my web application when i connect to 3G, i am able to connect and chat normally in MSN but unable to browse the internet.
i try connecting to wifi, and everything works perfectly.
also another problem i have is the GPS, i found the thread GPS fix101, and follow the guide, still doesnt gives me any improvement.
any recommendation to both the problem above???

Try to shut down remove the battery and restart a couple of times
Did you install any app before you started having the issue.
The GPS is not good, but there is a fix for it that worked for me if you are rooted.
Look for the GPS fix thread

no chance, some application works on 3G and some still doesnt.

Sudden issues with internet connectivity.

So to start with, I did use search
I have my HD with T-Mobile. Everything was working fine for months, until a few days ago.
I'm able to connect to the internet, however after 1-2 seconds, it seems like my phone stops sending/recieving data. Internet connection is still listed as active, yet the pages won't load etc, hitting refresh doesn't do anything.
Worth noting, most of the time, I don't get any errors in Opera, it just stops loading a page after 1-2 seconds. (It's the same with IE and every other online app) Sometimes I get 'ERROR - Could not locate remote server' in Opera.
Internet works fine over WLAN.
I can't link it to any software/rom. When it first happened, I've used Duttys 2.5, now switched to 2.9 and the problem persists. Also tried different Radios, different connection settings etc.
Any ideas ?

Maybe it's a network issue. Do you have a sim card for another network you could try?

Yeah, I tried. Same thing.
Any more ideas?
It's really wired, I rolled back to old HTC stock rom (still the same issue), installed stock 1.56 again ... and it's working. I have no idea what was the issue, especially considering how many times I've flashed it before and it was always there.
Oh well, I'm happy
Scratch that, forgot that the HD uses my PCs connection when plugged in.
So, it still doesn't work. Think I'll write to HTC, or is there anything else I could try doing?
Have you tried calling someone when you have the problems? After a couple of weeks-months a lot of people seem to have connectivity problems. I've sent mine back and hope to have it back soon!
I have this problem all the time for a week now. Everything but 3G internet works fine.
I did install SPB Wireless monitor yesterday, to check how is the data transfer.
Running the browser, hitting refresh each time, downloaded about 2KB of data (on average). (Same on both, 3 and T-Mobile)
Then, I've left youtube app and browser on - after about 40 minutes, it managed to download most of the youtube app start page and most of one of the pages I've opened with the browser. Data rate was highly random, often not downloading anything for a couple of minutes. In total, it was about 1.1 MB.
Then, after those 40 minutes - it didn't download anything any more for another hour or so. After that (the connection was still active), I've refreshed the browser and tried to load a different tab in youtube app, but for another hour or so no data was transferred.
did you install a new radio? and ifso did you also install the corosponding rilphone.dll?? maybe you can use hd tweak and set the data connection you use to always on. this works fine for me
Yeah, I tried a few radios (with dlls). Didn't help.
Data connection stays on, for hours. (without tweaking, which I find kind of strange).
As I said before, it's not an issue with disconnecting. Connection stays on, yet data is not being downloaded properly.
which data plan are you using?
Also can you navigate here and see if this is like your problem (post 22 and down):

Thanks
It's web'n'walk. (uk)
However, it's certainly not an issue with t-mobile, as it works exactly the same on '3' as well.
I'm running out of ideas here really. Seems like no one so far (including HTC tech support) had the same issue.
I think the only possibility is, that it is hardware related somehow.
Hi Volw, did you find a fix for this? This is happening to my bosses phone.
Hi... is it my impression or is you Touch HD's behaviour similar to this ?
Sorry for the link, but didn't want to repost...
I think you're not alone!
Have you tried a hard reset? In my case it solved until I disconnected from my home network again!
I hope I can help (so little) in detect the specific circumstances in which the error occurs....
My solution, since I had mine for less than 30 days was going to the shop where I bought mine, swaped for a brand new one and I kept for the firmware that came from factory... didn't flash for the current official rom (cooked roms are out of the question for now - with all do respect) and I'm very very reluctant in flashing my new TouchHD. I even flashed the first unit twice but I kept having the same problem.
Now I'm affraid of flashing this one and going back to the shop with a second phone in the same condition...
Still with the installed firmware from factory (previous from the current oficial) I still get a few minutes for it to "see" the active HSDPA connection after disconnecting Wifi!
Sorry if i deviated a bit from subject... just trying to help.
Regards,
MD
I have exactly the same issue. I've had my HD for about 6 weeks and the Wifi has always worked fine with my home network. But then suddenly one day last week it stopped working.
It's still connected, but no data is being transferred. I can't update the weather or browse the web.
I've tried playing with all the settings and connected to my neigbours unsecured wifi network, but still nothing works.
This is particularly annoying because data is not part of my contract, so wifi was my only way downloading files, updating things etc.
Anyone had any luck solving the issue yet?

Hi guys, I had exact the same problem.
I'm on O2 Germany network and figured out, that when disabling HSDPA and only using 3G I never had that problem anymore.
I mean although I had full HSDPA connection, Opera was sometimes able to load the Websites, but most of the time the loading failed (mostly the first page load was ok, but all other calls ended in a blank screen, or the "Could not locate remote server"...). This is pretty strange and I would love to use the HSDPA connection again, but for now disabling HSDPA is the only solution for me

EDIT: I had this behaviour with the stock ROM and also with Dutty's V3.3 which I'm running right now. What I was thinking is, that maybe the auto switching between GPRS/3G/HSDPA is damaging the connection???
HTC HD / Blackstone connection issue
I have the same problem in SG - Opera does not load web page some times, even when the 3G/HSDPA icon is flashing on the top bar, and that the Data Connection in CommMgr is showing green.
I have to click on the Data Connection in CommMgr again (which will not go off), and the connection back up again.
These happen to other internect connectivity as well. Usually happen in the first connection (of each app) to the internet after I restart the phone.

Can't download from Market over wifi (but can on 3G)

Hi,
Thanks for this forum, it's given me lots of useful tips. But can you solve this one?
My phone will work almost perfectly on wifi - can browse the web, sync Twitter, etc etc. But if I choose to download an app from the Market, it just sits there on 'Starting Download' for as long as let it. As soon as I switch off wifi and drop to the 3G signal, the download kicks off and works fine.
Hi mate
did you find an answer to this problem???
Uh,
I've got same Problem here.
And Gmails take over WiFi about 15 Minutes sometimes.
I Think, it's the same Problem....
i have the same problem with the market (sometimes) and with gmail. 3g works perfektly.
I have that i have to reboot the phone on my AP at work to get apps downloaded.
As soon as i have rebooted it downloads using Wlan.
did you try that?
Hm,
try to deactivate first Mobile Data, than deactivate WIFI and reactivate Mobile Data. Wait a second and reactivate Wifi.
Thats all ok.
But it's a silly Bug. when I'm at Home, I'm usinf Wifi. If somebody writes me an email and it takes over 20 Minutes to come to my Hero..... noooooo.
Or i must restart the Phone to get my Email? No! Thats very awful and a silly Bug!
I get no problems with email at all, but over the marketplace I haven't been able to find a fix, no.
Marketplace over WiFi
I had this problem and traced it to the port number Marketplace uses for comms. I opened up 5228 on my firewall and it now works as expected.

WiFi Connection does not work

Is anyone else having the same problem as me. Running on the 1.66ROM my wifi has suddenly stopped working over the past week. It is connected to the correct connection but brings up error messages when I use Opera, sync email, weather, Twitter etc.
Because of this I'm having to use my 3G connections which:
a) isnt as fast
and
b) is taking up a large chunk of data.
I havent tried a hard reset yet as I feel that it would be a last chance scenario to do this as it was working before perfectly until the other week.
Hope someone can help.
Just bumping this.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm having the same problem.... .is no one else having this problem???? ****!
I uninstalled the xda wifi router app and my connection worked again. Worth a shot for you....

Loss of 3g connectivity when I try and use the browser

So, I took the plunge and using unrevoked3 I rooted my HTC Wildfire. After doing so, I was looking for ROM's to toy around with and see how they worked. I found the WildPuzzleROM and flashed it using Clockmod recovery. Everything seemed to be going fine until I left the apartment and loss my wifi connectivity and tried to use my data connection to get on the internet. If I reboot the phone or turn off connections using airplane mode I am able to use apps like Gmail and Facebook fine, but when I try and use the internet icon a check mark goes under the 3G symbol and it says I have no connectivity. I tried re-flashing with the ROM again but it still doesn't seem to work. And unfortunately for me, I didn't back up my original factory ROM (if that is what you would call it) so I'm not even sure how to try and get it back to before I did this. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I got the exactly the same problem.
I solved it by from market download and install a different browser.
In my case i download Dolphin HD internet browser.
Works like a charm
I had the the same problem, after flash 0900_orginal_framework_stock_battery_icon_v5.zip browser with 3G working!!!!:
I use WildPuzzleROM v8.0.1
reminds me a bizzare CynogenMod bug GPS disabled 3G
the solution was to the mobile network APN and remove all but one APN
(usually you use only one APN anyhow)
The browser may also ask for location which can cause the effect you described.
Thread is in weong section. This has nothing with development.

[Q] Wifi tethering stops working after a few minutes

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks
