Weird internet problem - works everything but web pages - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

When I switch from wifi (which works great) to mobile data, I have a weird problem. 3g icon is green, google play works fine, but I can't enter any web page. Interesting, that search suggestion while typing in browser's titlebar work. I tap one of them (or manually enter whole adress) and page is loading and loading without any progress. There's no such problem while on wifi.
What I have: Rooted 2.3 stock rom with some build.prop tweaks (hdr+video/image quality).
What I've tried: Changing stock browser for different one, clearing web browser app's data, wipe (dalvik) cache in CWM.
What I haven't try: Factory reset.
Any suggestions?
Found the solution - wrogn APN settings...

Problem with Twitter app Peep

Am I just being a tool? (Don't answer that)
I can't seem to select a link in a tweet on the new HTC HD2 twitter app in Sense. If it try to select a link or twitpic it just brings up a menu asking if I want to reply to the tweet. In other twitter clients it takes you to the picture or brings up the internet.
Also, it doesn't seem to be updating if I click 'Update now' in the menu. I just get a 'Download error'. It says it's connected to my HSDPA network
OK I might have just answered my own question
It appears you have to select the person and go to their profile, in there you can actually double click on the link and it takes you to Opera.
Still not sure about the 3g connection problem though.
Anyone else getting this?
Seems to work fine over wi-fi
Yes I experience the same problem when connected via 3G. Mine also works fine when connected to wi-fi too. Tried it again at the station this morning and again it failed to update or connect via 3G. Not sure what the problem is?!?
I have problem with posting to Twitter on wifi and on 3G (or GPRS), i dont know what was a problem, but after hardreset is it OK, only auto download doesnt work, manually updates, posting, profiles, everything OK on any connection (AS, WIFI,3G...)
tiny url not working
anyone has this problem?
Strange 'L' appeaiorng before url in Peep
Hi All
This is a bit strange. I'm using Peep and it's mostly OK. The only problem I'm experiencing is when I use the 'insert maplink' geo-tag feature...it shortens the url but puts an 'L' before the shortened url.
Example -
L:http://tinyurl.com/yd32dsm
If I then check it in Twitter, the addition of the 'L' stops the link being clickable. It doedn't seem to matter which shortening service I use
Obviously, I can manually remove the 'L' from Peep before updating, but it's a bit of a pain. Anyone else getting the same problem?
Cheers
Steve
Nope not getting that problem on Geo tagging I use TinyURL.
Ref opening links you can open them straight from twitter feed but you have to be exact where you press and just a quick tab not a long one. It can sometimes be annoying but I think I must just have the knack.Also opera being open quickens the process.
Hello,
I also see the problem with connecting to twitter. I have not tried over WLan but when I try over normal 3G I get an error that connection to twitter was not successful. I have typed the correct login credentials.
Very strange...
my issue is that i deleted a msg on my pc but it still remains in peep

This is the issue I have. With the stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM, Peep actually worked fine over GSM/3G and WiFi even though everything else on the phone was buggy, laggy and unstable.
Using 1.61 I now have the experience where Peep and MSN messenger will only connect through WiFi. If I try to connect with GSM/3G I get the connection error. Is this issue present in 1.48, as I'm thinking of giving that a try.
i also cannot connect over gprs, how strange.
has any fix been found yet?

Thats a general twitter thing, I think. I've seen a lot of apps behave like that
Same problem here!
It worked once or twice but generally it doesn't. Really annoying as it is one of the features I would like to use most.
Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!
Not working

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.

[Q] browser problem

hi all
just got the eee transformer. when i log into facebook it automatically uses facebook mobile. and it doesnt work right when i try and hit the home or facebook button it keeps comming up connection error. i cant get it not to go to facebook mobile , does anyone know how to stop this please
If your using the stock browser, change the User String agent in advanced settings to 'Desktop'. That should fix the issue.
Yep the stock and most of the downloaded broswers have an option in the settings to choose what servers see your device as...
In stock broswer go to Settings > Advanced and 3rd setting from the bottom is User agent string - change this to Desktop and everything in the world becomes right!

Initially I just thought I had problems with GPS and Waze, but I realized I had no data connectivity. I tried a factory reset on my i9500 (dual sim) and I can make and receive calls/txts from either sim but can't get mobile data on the primary sim (in R1 slot) Deutsche Telekom and can on TMobile US (in R2 slot). When I swap the sims to different slots then I don't get access to network time, and I can't select a data connection both options are grayed out. In SIM management both T-Mobile US and Telekom have a circle with a slash thru them. When I return them to the original slots and restart I get 3-4 bars and it successfully registers but still no data.
I've checked Roaming, Network Operators, 3G service and would love some help.
thx

[Q] Wifi issues

I generally do not have an issue with network connections. However when at my home most apps do not like to work. I know that I am connected and the Internet connection is working because I can use either the stock Browser or Chrome and surf the Internet just fine.
A few of the apps that are affected:
Facebook - text will load but pictures and videos may or may not
Youtube - I can search but may not be able to play back get a network connection error
Several games that require Internet to work
And several others
Apps that work just fine:
Chrome
Internet Browser
iHeart Radio
Gmail
Email
I have removed and re added my home network - no change
Rebooted phone - no change
Rebooted router - no change
Tried a different router w/ different settings -no change
Set router to fill open network - no change.
Turned off the 5gHz band - no change
I can go to other Wifi connection and it works just not on my home network.
This didn't start until I used Towel root but now I can't seem to unroot
Attached is a screen shot of my system info
