[Q] Serious connectivity issues - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hello people, I have been fairly happy with my transformer performance wise but wifi is just not working for me... Market downloads stall and fail, market search stall and fail, youtube videos stop loading, browser will start loading a page and the loading bar will go away but it will still be on the old page, upnp music streaming also randomly stops saying that it failed to load. I have tried doing multiple hard reset, reset my modem and router to no avail. It is getting extremely frustrating. What should be my next options? The connection works fine on all my other devices so I know it's a problem with the tablet.

I could aslo be that your Transformer does't like your router settings. Something to rule out before you deside to return it. You are not the only who has experienced issues with wifi.

It's usually always the router. I also notice that the TF sucks up a lot of the bandwidth. For example if my tablet is on, wifi on my laptop dips down to 11mbps.

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.

My browser doesn't work with wlan

Most of the time I can't use the web browser while connected to wlan. The progress bar stops right in the beginning. All other apps like market you-tube and Google maps connects and uses the wlan connection.
I tried at least ten different wlan:s and it makes no difference.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any known fix for this?
Same for me.
used to work great.
There are some strange things happening with the Hero from time to time....
I did an factory reset of the phone and it work t great for about three days and then the problem came back.
I have the same problem and the onset was when I updated to the latest official Rom. the browser works swell over 3g and gprs but lately I'm getting no data through the official browser over WiFi. dolphin and steel browsers don't work either but oddly enough opera mini still works on WiFi.
whenever that happened to me , i unplugged my wireless router , plugged back in and it was perfect
just tried that. i've been having this issue for a long time. this is very annoying!

WiFi constantly loses connection :(

Browsing the internet on my 4 day old Leo is a pain. It will not stay connected to the internet on a good reliable WiFi connection.
When it idles it seems to stay well connected to WiFi, but I can't open a browser and load more than 3 web pages before it loses connection, often unable to connect again for a few minutes. I have tried Skyfire, Opera and Internet Explorer, same problem on all of them.
Funnily enough if I go crazy on Google Maps loading as many maps as quickly as possible, it can keep up. But as soon as I start a browser it dies.
I wish the Leo was more like the iPhone, which just does what it's supposed to do straight out of the box
Have you installed any programs to disconnect data? Have you flashed a different rom at all?
If it is straight out of the box, and you are sure it isn't your router, then I would consider getting it replaced.
check with another router if problem occurred send it on rma

[Q] Xoom Internet only works in browser

I have a Wifi only Xoom running android 3.1.
I'm connected to my internet. Tried rebooting xoom & Router
Today when I connected only the browser seems to work. Tried many different websites all load fine.
Any time I try to access the internet via another application it shows no internet access. Android Market just keeps saying no internet connection.... Ive tried 3 different apps besides the market. Nothing....
Any idea's ?
Is there a option in the settings that would disable app internet connections ???
I have the same problem, and I have not found a solution to the issue. I notice that some apps can find the internet just fine (Beautiful Widgets), while apps like CNN say I must connect to a network. *Despite the fact I am on a super fast WiFi network*
backup all your files(music,movies,etc) and restore it back to factory. What happen was the update didn't take 100%. I had problem but everything is great after a factory reset.

[Q] P6810 unable to access any search sites (google.com, bing.com etc)

I have a P6810 I bought from expansys-usa, importing to the USA a device that is not normally sold here. It worked fine for a while, and I very much enjoyed the device.
Then something very strange happened and every time I used the google search bar I got a "Connection to the server timed out" error. Then I tried to go to google.com directly in the browser and I also get the same error message. I tried other search sites bing.com, yahoo.com and each with the same result "Connection to the server timed out"
Other websites (E.g. bbc news), apps including the google play store app (but not play.google.com through the browser), gmail apps etc all work fine, it's just the search sites.
I tried a factory reset and started completely again, the same thing. I rooted and installed a custom rom (Noob 2.1) and the same thing.
I have a galaxy nexus on the same wifi network and that works fine, I have PC (Windows and mac) that also are able to access the search sites, so I dont think it's related to my wireless network.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something related to the fact this is an imported device that means something in the device is stopping the connections, but I cannot for the life of me think of a reason why this does not work. Especially given that it worked fine for the first month I had the device.
Anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried clearing cache and force stopping the built in browser?
Have you tried another browser, such as Opera or Firefox?
If you are rooted, have you tried to fix permissions?
I've also got the P6810 from out of the US, but this has not been an issue for me at all so I don't think it has to do with where the device was intended to be sold.
Hi thanks for the response,
Yes have tried Opera browser with the same results. Not tried firefox though, and I don't see it in the market as an available download.
I hadn't explicitly tried resetting the browser cache but have done numerous factory resets. I have just tried it now though and no difference. Though it also fails to sign into google account at browser startup.
What do you mean by fix permissions?
If you are rooted, then in an app called Rom Manager, there is a menu item to "Fix Permissions" It can sometimes fix some errors.
Another thought, assuming you have Clockworkmod Recovery flashed, then go into Recovery and wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache. Other than that, not sure what else you could do.
Sounds more like DNS issues, can you get to any of the search sites via IP Address?
Have you tried another wireless network to see if you can pull them on someone else network?
Try rebooting your router and modem then re-connect and see if that fixes your issues.
I know you dont think its your network, but at least you can clear it just to be sure.
Sorry for the delay in getting back with an update, but my tab went into a boot loop with Noob 2.1 and I have now reverted back to stock, also some not tab related things kept me busy for a couple of days (a new daughter), though that may actually keep me busy for a lot longer
I agree with you, it should be my router I have a Cisco E4200 router, with a Panasonic Cable modem, and roadrunner twc internet, and I have upgraded my firmware to the latest version and checked that there is no custom routing settings (I have never set any, but checked anyway). Seeing as it's more than just a single site that is an error not just google but bing, yahoo also, I don't know where/how that could get set.
When I do reboot of my router it does then work, but only for a short period of time, it's hard to work exactly what that amount of time is, but greater than a couple of hours but less that 24 hours. It is then back to "Connection to the server timed out" errors.
If people have ideas of what to check on the router then I would be interested in hearing that too, but it is just this tablet and nothing else on the network that is having the issue.
I'm stumped. I'm sort of hoping that ICS will come along and magically fix things.
