[Q] I keep getting: - "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate"
"Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate. Please try again later"
I keep getting this message when I try to connect to some websites.
How can I overcome this situation please??
I have searched this and other forums but not found the answer.
I have tried resetting - power offs - etc, etc but this message keeps appearing and I remain totally unable to get onto some sites that I need to spend a lot of time on.
I am in UK on o2 network but use wifi most of the time.
Help please.
I have also now tried sim cards from Tesco Network and Vodafone Network but still get the same result.
Please help me if you can
What rom are you using? The JMG rom for example has wifi connectivity issues. Or are you having trouble using cellular network?
Not sure what ROM I am using (i am unsure of how to find this out) and yes I still get same issue when using cellular network.
The problem is your browser is not compatible with your webserver. I had this problem back in blackberry days. Download dolphin or opera to see if a different browser fixes your issue.

I suggest for you to search around for a APN setting that suits your network provider. Sometimes it may be caused by that.
Wrong apn settings would keep you from even connecting to your cellular network. You wouldn't be able to get any message.
Same here
I've had my tab for only a few weeks, and have had a very shaky wifi connection because of the same error you get.
With the wifi I can logon no problems, but I continue to get the error you mentioned. The stock browser is essentially useless with this, so I tried many others. Dolphin HD, Opera Mini & Mobile, Miren, and Firefox beta were mostly better, but still not really useable. The best I found (even though I think some of the others are better browsers) is Skyfire. It doesn't seem to suffer the wifi issues to the same extent as any of the other browsers.
The wifi issue seems very strange, and I think it is more my ageing Netgear router. It doesn't work well close up when I get a full strong signal, but is acceptable (not good) when I am in the next room or even outside. The only thing that really worked was switching back to b from g, but I didn't stay with that for more than a couple of days because of the speed difference.
I have also flashed to Rotohammer's latest ROM JMI (unfortunately with the same issue, and no GPS).
I will continute to try various things I find around this forum, but as you say, no one seems to have an answer.

Thanks but I have tried Opera, Dolphin, Skyfire but am still unable to login to some sites such as the OPDA forum in China that I want to use.

Thanks but my APN settings were provided automatically by my network provider and I have checked and double checked them and even tried editing the APN settings but without success.

As mentioned in a reply above - I have already tried Opera, Dolphin and Skyfire but still get the same message when trying to login to my account with the OPDA Chinese forum specifically and SOME other websites or forums in general.
Do you know anything about tomcat? I googled your error, where I found out about the browser incompatibility, and it could be on the server side.

Well I have had a "slight" success in that I installed Mozilla Firefox and it allows me to sign into the "offending" websites/forums etc.
It is slow but at least it is doing the job!!
Any other suggestions would be most welcome.
You are not alone in this frustrating issue. I have a T-Mobile Tab and I constantly have data issue when on the celluar network. I constantly have to reset the data by turning off and on airplane mode or holding the power button to reset the data and as a last ditch effort, I just switch it to GSM only *Shudders* Wifi works flawlessy. Data on the other hand is shaky at best. I will try another browser other than stock today. Honestly I suspect the issue to be APN related because it's definitely not the SIM card related, as i've changed that several times. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Rangercaptain - I found this reference also, but could not figure out where this server might be. Logically there is only my tab, router, adsl modem, and my internet service provider (Telstra). I could only think that the 'tomcat' server could only be within Telstra, but also thought that if this was the issue there would be many more people complaining about this isue.
Can you throw any more light on which direction I should look to follow this through? I am also puzzeled about where I might change things to make my browser 'compatable'.
Thanks very much for your interest and help.
I am still looking. The server in the reference would be the sever that hosts the website you want. I will check back here later when I know more.
Thanks - I think you are right. My only problem is that the problem occurs on manywebsites, and even on Market and other internet accessing apps. While this could still be right, I don't see why many more people wouldn't be having the same issue.
It also puzzles me that changing the modem from g to b decreased the error significantly, as does moving further away from the router when it is in g mode.
Very confusing.

Hi everyone.
The past month has seen a serious degradation in my Orange Internet access (via GPRS, 3G). I use a Touch HD, HD2 with Opera & live in London/South east.
Trying to access even the BBC mobile site I am 50% of the time getting could not locate Remote Server' errors. What's worse if you re-loading the page it just keeps bringing up the same message. You have to clear the cache or exit out of the thing. Pain
I don't believe it is the phone as my HD1 is the same. I believe it's an Orange related issue and it's network not being able to handle the traffic.
Just checking though if there are any settings in Opera:config that I could alter to improve things? Any help would be great.
Check here for any orange problems, helped me out when i was having problems.

Thanks for the link. The problem is being experienced by others in Central london/S.East so far as I can tell.
Bizarrely, web pages load ONLY via HDSPA and GSM. 3G - no matter how many bars of signal, does not work!
The problem is still on-going. 7 days later, still no reply from Orange tech support.
Get onto their support and just pester them stupid.
Also, http://twitter.com/ConorfromOrange is Orange UK's PR Manager... Wouldn't look great if he didn't respond in some way to obvious service issues especially if many people in the same region have been reporting them.
I've been having the same trouble lately on my HD2 on Virgin.
Hey guys, hoping for some help here
I'm using the best Sense-based EU ROM I've ever come across and I really, really, really don't want to change ROM. The ROM I'm using is Korand's Incredible S build, development of which has been pretty much discontinued as far as I can see. Here's a link to it.
I don't want to say the data doesn't work on the ROM, because it sometimes does, and it's not an issue with my hardware as I've used other, laggier ROMs where data has worked fine. It's not an APN issue as I've checked and triple checked them. I've tried with three different radios (2.15, 2.14, 2.12) and have had similar results with all three.
Basically, what happens is:
- I go to use something using data, like the browser, facebook, bbc news etc
- The data icon shows downloading and uploading on 3G. Nothing happens. It switches to HSDPA and shows uploading, then stops. It switches back to 3G, then stops.
- Sometimes, if I'm lucky at this point, it will switch back to HSDPA, show downloading and uploading, and let me do what I want to do. This generally takes 15 seconds or more.
- Most of the time, I have to disable and re-enable the data connection to get it to work.
I don't understand, because obviously the phone can get a data connection, it just takes a long ass time and is a lot slower/patchier than other ROMs. But I really don't want to change ROMs, as apart from this data issue Korand's build is perfect for me.
Can somebody give me a hand troubleshooting this? I'd really appreciate it and am willing to donate a beer if somebody can help me get it fixed
cheers,
zuka

Checks your APN's are correct.
It looks to me like you have erroneous information in your APN's. Ensure they are exactly how your network provider suggests.
It might also be worth deleting every single APN that exists in the list and starting your data and mms off from scratch.
I just did exactly that due to issues I was having with O2 MMS.
Hello,
If you don't want the boring details of how I discovered the problem feel free to skip the next couple of paragraphs and go straight to the technical details.
I got my first Android phone (Motorola Defy) a couple of weeks ago and at first I was only using it with wifi because my data plan wasn't activated yet. While playing with it a little I realised that I saw a lot less ads than my boyfriend on his 6 month old Defy. I thougt it was weird but, well, seeing less ads is not a big problem.
Then when I got my data plan I saw that when I wasn't home I saw a lot more ads, so I began to suspect it had to do with how my phone was connected to the internet : wifi or 3G.
Next I wanted to try out Astrid and when I tried to log in using my Google account it failed repeatedly. Until I disabled wifi and it logged in fine using 3G.
Then I installed RTÉ DocOnOne to listen to documentaries while falling asleep. When wifi is enabled, it cannot start up because it can't connect (network timeout). Over 3G, no problem.
At first I thought it was my router blocking ports or something but it happens with different wifi APs and more importantly my boyfriend's phone, connected to the same access point, loads everything without a problem.
Let's sum up:
Some apps can't access the network using wifi but work fine when using 3G.
It happens regardless of the wifi AP (tried 4 different ones with different routers) and another phone using the same app connected to the same wifi AP can access the network just fine.
If I initiate the connection using 3G then switch to wifi (typically I launch the app with 3G, switch wifi on without closing the app), it still works after that (RTE DocOnOne has no pb streaming the documentaries once it has launched)
My phone is a Motorola Defy, French retail ROM, not rooted, no motoblur account (skipped the configuration), Froyo 2.2.2 (already on the phone when I got it), system version (if that means anything to you) Version.34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR, kernel 2.6.32.9-g050ccf2, build 3.4.2-164
I can't give as much details about my boyfriend's phone (that doesn't have the problem) because he's not here right now but I can tell you that it is a Motorola Defy too, French retail (I think) ROM, Froyo updated from preinstalled Eclair (using the official Motorola update), not rooted, with a motoblur account
I have no idea if that's relevant or not, but my phone has the "google maps 5.7.0 crashes on Defy" issue (18446 in the android issue tracker) and my boyfriend's phone hasn't.
Has anyone encountered this issue before ? I couldn't find anything on this forum or with a google search.
Is there any tool I can use to try and find the cause of the problem ?
Thank you for reading all this, sorry if my message was long but I wanted to give as much detail as possible to help the nice people who may find what is wrong with my phone
I didn't read all..
but if your phone don't have problems then check this:
1. go to settings
2. Select "Location & security settings"
3. enable this "Use wireless networks" Location determined by WiFi and/or mobile networks
4. test does it work...
Hello manumanfred,
I did what you suggested (actually it was already checked) and the problem is still there (tried unchecking it too).
I am not sure why you suggested it, was that related to some phones having wifi problems in some countries ? I read a thread about that when I was researching my problem but it is different. In my case, wifi works most of the time, but some requests always time out.
Thanks for trying
Anyone else has an idea of something I could try ?

Hello, did you solve the issue?
Hi all
I've posted this on another forum but its a bit dead so didn't get any help.
Recently and it is really annoying but facebook and certain other websites just don't load on the stock browser or dolphin pad.
Now the youtube app seems to work fine but loading a youtube video on either browser and it really struggles. However I can go on project free tv and stream an episode of a programme no problem. Every now and then though facebook etc can work fine and then I turn the tablet off and go back on it and it isn't working again.
So frustrating because it was working fine about 10 days ago.
Thanks
Anyone? Still having this problem, very weird and annoying.
I'm having the exact same problem. All apps work at full speed but any browser i use has trouble and takes a minute or so to load a page. XDA is the slowest site for me, taking 2 minutes to load a page. I have odined twice, rerooted, flashed 4 different roms, all the same. I go to xda on my netbook and my phone, on the same wifi connect, and they load xda immediately.
Did you guys recently updated Flash Player (or had it updated automatically)? I did and I noticed all flash-heavy sites work a lot slower, some videos don't want to play at all, some sites won't even open anymore.
I'll try to remove the latest update or uninstall it completely and look for older version and post back.

well, i tried uninstalling flash but wouldn't let me. so first i disable plugins on the dolphin browser, still no dice. then i froze flash, went back to xda-developers.com and it still just sits there.
I pullled my hair out yesterday with an intermittent internet problem, which I was able to solve by Rebooting my entire LAN and WAN (DSL Modem) systems.
The details of my episode are here: OOPS
Can't post the link, but it is on galaxytabforum.net under the General Discussion sub forum titled "intermittent slow stop go wifi operation"
If you don't want to read the entire post there, just cut to the chase on the bottom line.

im starting to think that there is a problem within the tab itself. i have tried "in paris" rom, overcome rom, stock rom, stock kernals on all, and pershoots kernel with each rom. all apps work fine for internet connection and speed. its just right now, my tab, when going to xda-developers, takes about 2 minutes a page load. google.com, duckduckgo.com almost most websites instantly load. last night i changed dns servers on my tab with no luck. others have reported issues with "find on page" within their browsers, its starting to make me think that there is something wrong with honeycomb itself. when i first got my tab, the internet on any browser was flawless.
Yeh thats very similar to my problem, if not identical.
Sometimes mine works fine and then it is a nightmare (mostly a nightmare to be honest)
This was a problem before flash was updated to 11.
If ur on wifi check if u r on ad hoc mode...
You are describing the exact same problem that I encountered (see post up about 3).
If you can, find another WiFi Access Point (one that does not goback through YOUR Modem or Router) and see if the problem persists. Go to Macdonalds or Starbucks and try your TAB.
If it operates normally there, do a COMPLETE system Reboot on your internet system.

This is one of those problems, I might not be able to explain. After 4 fresh odin attempts, multiple rom flashing, I was still having issues with xda-developers.com. As of right now, I decided, hey will it work faster thru orbot, after running orbot and going to xda thru the orweb browser, now my internet problem has completely disappeared. I can get to xda now either thru orbot, or straight thru no problems. This has me wondering if using odin on the galaxy tab ,doesnt completely erase like on my fascinate. On my phone, odin will take care of any problem guarented, i dont get that feeling with odin on the tablet. After one time I odined the tab, it put a wallpaper back on I had deleted a week previous.
Hi everyone
I'm from Indonesia and just bought Huawei X5 as replacement of my 1 year old Galaxy 5. To my disappointment this new phone has bad signal reception compared to Galaxy 5. At the same area with the same SIM Card the signal is not stable and rarely gets 4 bar as Galaxy 5 does. What is worse is that in any browser I use it constantly gives "Network Problem" error. Not that I set the APN wrong. I can still open google sites and some other and Market, Email and Facebook is also working. But most of the websites I try to open results in error. For instance when I google something, 95% of the search result cannot be opened. "Network Problem" is says in red letters. I have tried most of android browsers with no luck. It never happens with my now-missed-but-already-sold Galaxy 5
I have also flashed my phone with latest MIUI ROM and now Stock ROM 162 but the problem persists.
My suspicion is that somehow the phone is having trouble utilizing network paralelly between browser and other applications using the network. But this is only a wild guess from someone who has no knowledge at all on how this stuff works.
Any comments would be much appreciated, and please bear my language.
What about if you are in an area that you have known good coverage? Also, have you tried different radio settings to see if that makes any difference?

Thank you for the reply. Googling this xda forum I learn that Huawei X5 is not the only android phone facing such network error problem. While no solution found on those threads I accidentally solved it myself. Google DNS, that is the cure. Though I have no idea how it works, I install and run Set DNS, choosing Google DNS and voila! All network problem gone!
But why I must use Google DNS while with the same Simcard I never had to use it on Galaxy 5 is still a mystery to me.
But once again, thank you for the comment.
