cant surf internet via 3G

Hi,
I've had my Desire HD for quite some time and I havent had any problems with it so far. About 2 days ago, I noticed that no webpages would load when I was on the Mobile network.
Everything works on WiFi.
When using 3G i can only check my Email and play some online games.
Web browsing doesnt work in either the stock browser or Dolphin HD.
I cant access the Android market or use the Playstation application.
Update: Facebook app and Gtalk work as well.
Does anyone know what the problem may be? A hard reset doesnt help!

Hello,
Same problem here, also with HTC Desire HD. Not sure when it began, but it is possible it happend about at the same time as you. I cannot send mms eather, but mail, market, exchange... work fine on 3G. I just cannot surf. Just wondering : I use Mobistar with a professionnal contract, is it also your case? I am about sure the problem is there.
Regards.

Check your APN settings

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. On my side, I do not think the problem is in my APN settings. Because:
-it used to work until a couple of weeks ago
-I called my provider to check my settings
-I erased several times my settings to recreate them (either using the default settings of the mobile or the information on the web site of my provider)
-my 3g connection works for everything (mail, exchange sync, different apps) except for surfing (I tried 4 browsers)
Thanks

Did u accidentally change ur phone user agent by any chance? I found that when i used my phone as desire hd,i will connect to another 'channel' though the same apn. Atleast this is my case with my provider.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I am not sure of which user-agent you speak. In Dolphin browser, the user agent is set on "Android (default)". I tried with "Iphone" (an other choice in the combo), but it did not help.
Regards.

The one that i was talking about is in build.prop
U ought to have root for that. Change the ro.model (?) From desire hd to ur brand.
Sorry forget the detail. Will post later from computer
Once ur done, as u can see here in my post, my htc dhd is recognized as 001ht, branded as in my carrier locked version rom. Though i am using custom rom
Edit: m not sure weather u have trouble with web browsing, or mms. For mms, to change UA u need a custom mms apk.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I found the solution.
In fact, the APN was not correctly set (despite the settings I used are the one you find on the Mobistar website, the one I was given by the phone support, the one stored on the sim card...).
So, if it can help anybody, for a Mobistar professional 3G subscription, here is the APN which works for me (web, mail, activesync...):
APN:internet.be
User : mobistar
pwd: mobistar
MCC:206
MNC:10
APN type : default
Authentication Type : PAP
Everything else (port,proxy, server...) have to be left empty.
Hope it helps someone else.
PS: in Belgium, until now, we have no phone which are stuck to one provider (in brief, it is forbidden by the law). So, I guessed the "agent" parameter was no use for me.

Nexus s decided today was good to lose data

My nexus s lost data connection today and it won't turn back on. Even after reset. Anyone else had this?

Maybe check if something's happened to the APN settings / if they have been disabled?
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network Settings

What am I looking for? I havent changed anything?

Sounds like a network issue, you need to call your carrier.

well .. if your phone didn't need any additional configuration for APN during your very first use, then I guess, as princeasi just mentioned, you might have to check with your network operator for help..
the reason why i told tht you might have to define the APN settings is because, for me, I had to manually add the APN, username /password in order to get access to my carrier's data network ...
maybe you could browsing on this link: http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#Italian_Networks
for APN settings..
that link is meant to help configure iPhone APN settings (Android has a lot more parameters to define) .. but the details shud still work with your NexS
(for eg. all settings for my carrier were the same as what were already on my phone by default.. the only thing i had to configure manually was the u/name, password and APN name)
Hope that helps...

I let it auto reconfigure everything and it came back .. not sure what happened

browser cant connect trough mobile data

i'm having the strangest problem, my browser cant connect using mobile internet, but it works perfect on wifi. opera works fine via mobile or wifi, so does market. i've read some similar forums which suggest the problem is in proxy settings, which i cant find.
i've tried reflashing prety much everything, so any suggestion would be most appreciated.
edit:
i figured it works in stock rom, but doesnt work in cm or wildpuzzle. i did a format od system/data/cache/sd and it still doesnt work. i tought it had sth to do with google backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867143), but it doesnt seem so, because it still didnt work after clean install wothout syncing to google at all.
is there any similar config tool in android btowser to about:config in mozilla?

______bump?______

Do you use 3G internet or only edge?

found the problem...
it was the proxy in apn what caused trouble. but it was way stupid situation. 1stly, apns are auto downloaded from network in my case, and as such i treated them as correct. and 2dly, i tried to clear that exact same proxy before, but it didnt cross my mind i have to reboot when i changed something as simple.
the cause of some apps still working and others didnt was probably that the ones which worked didnt use proxy at all.
anyways, problem solved, me happy. thanks for help...

I replied to a similar problem on this forum some time ago. Maybe it would apply to other people having similar issues.
was having a similar problem yesterday after I upgraded the OS on my phone.
Let me describe what I am using:
HTC Glacier with Cyanogen 7 ROM including Google Apps.
I installed TransProxy 3.08beta and a few other applications, made some config changes, enabled / disabled proxy a few times and later on the browser application that was included with the ROM would not connect to 3G data. It was working fine on WiFi. However Opera worked fine on either. Also other apps like market worked fine.
This is what fixed it for me:
1. Disable proxy in TransProxy
2. Create a shortcut for system proxy settings on home screen:
long press on home screen > custom shortcut > pick your activity > activities > settings > Proxy Settings(.ProxySelector)
3. Open proxy settings using the shortcut
4. Clear settings using 'Clear' button
5. Save
After this the browser started connecting to 3G data.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Proxy is a host through which you can access a particular network (in this case internet) from your device. Your device can be a phone or a pc or a tablet or anything that needs to connect to this network. If proxy settings are configured on your phone then the phone will always try to access the internet through that proxy host, even if direct connection is possible. After clearing those proxy settings, my problem was resolved.

access to this URL has been blocked

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before. But search through tapatalk didn't find anything. I recently rooted and installed inspire-saga ROM on my Inspire 4G. Now I get an error whenever I try and browse using the mobile network. The message I get is this ... "access to this URL has been blocked" ... How can I fix this? I would love to browse off of WiFi. Thank you.

The network that provides the internet blocks certain website. You would have to phone the network and ask them to take the block off ..

This is all websites including Google. And only when I use the Inspire-Saga ROM. I can make calls and sent mms so I know mobile network is functional.

it's probably something to do with your APN settings.
Find the correct APN settings for your operator (in Google etc.) and then replace them on the phone.

Entering proxy settings to access university internet via WiFi

Hi all. I have been trying for a long time to get the internet to work (on my Samsung Galaxy S II) while being connected to my university's WiFi. My university provides passwords to some of it's access points. I successfully connected to the access point (Student), but the internet didn't not work. Also connected to a second access point, still nothing
My university runs on a proxy network and so certain details need to be entered into the device's browser. The proxy settings for my university's internet are: Address: proxy.xx.yy (second and third set hidden for privacy) and Port: 8080. My friend got his internet working on his iPhone, as there was a screen to add these proxy settings. People have also got the internet to work on their laptops by entering those settings. However I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find the proxy settings screen on my Galaxy S II. Help would be much appreciated.

Add a Wi-Fi network under Wi-Fi settings (not sure which Android version you have as I'm going off of CM 10.1) and there is a checkbox for advanced options then it should be there.

I found those options and got the internet working. Thanks. However only my default internet browser works. Firefox, skype, whatsapp and other apps dont work. What method can I use to rectify this?
