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]gmail and market app not working on wifi

Hey guys, I am facing a weird problem after updating an OTA released yesterday by HTC (2.2.1). My gmail app and market app is not working when on wifi. It works perfectly on Mobile data connection though (EDGE). I get a no connection error in gmail and network error in market app.
I have done the following but to no avail.
1. Soft reset and boot into safe mode.
2. Uninstalled task killer app.
3. Deleted all data for these apps and updated the gmail app and setup the account again.
I have not tried the hard reset as yet. Can anyone help me out please? TIA

Thats not good at all. Is your handset branded?

Hey Andy,
Thanks for replying although your reply does make me nervous :s. I am from India and we only get unbranded sets here. So to answer your question it is a unlocked unbranded phone running stock firmware.
By the way after I posted the question I did get these two apps working once for sometime but since then it's the same problem. I am starting to wonder whether it has to do something with the wifi although all the remaining apps are working fine and dandy.

Is the wifi access point owned by you? You could try turning it off and on again, that may help.

Have tried that. It is my home network that I am connecting to using a linksys wireless router.
UPDATE - I connected my phone using internet pass through i.e. sharing the internet through PC via the data cable and I still get the same error which leads me to believe some setting on the router provided by my ISP is causing this. Although what I fail to understand is that it was working fine till yesterday and nothing have been changed in the router setup recently.

Hmm... that's odd. Did your ISP supply your router? My ISP pushed a firmware update to my router about 8 months ago that broke pretty much everything wireless.
Is it just Gmail & Market that don't work over wifi? Does your browser and other apps work?

Yes indeed, my ISP provides a router which is then connected to my wireless router. The strange thing is everything else is pretty much working including gtalk.

If your router supports DMZ and you know how to set it up, you could try putting your DHD's IP into the DMZ to eliminate the possibility of your routers inbuilt firewall blocking Market & GMail.

Maybe a DNS problem? Ensure you have good ones... You can always test Google ones 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4

Thanks for showing interest guys. I for some strange reason cannot access my router settings page. I will figure that out but the stranger things are happening with my apps. After a bit of tinkering I have found a behavior which stumps me.
These are the steps I follow:
1. Sign out from gtalk.
2. Go to manage applications and clear cache and data for gmail, market, download manager, Google backup transport, google partner setup and google services framework.
3. Restart phone.
After this my gmail app starts working on wifi but talk does not start anymore and market also throws an error before even accepting the terms. I uncheck and check the background data services and I am back to square one i.e. gmail stops syncing saying no connection, gtalk works as usual and market starts giving connection error (after accepting terms).
I seriously think now there's a serious flaw in the software and not something to do with my router settings.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.

Simillar problem appeared for me in Locations. I couldn't list country maps for preload on wifi without 3G. After turned on 3G, it listed the maps - turn off - and i could download with wifi.

[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.

A5 2015 SM-A500FU WiFi Issues with Speedport W 724V Typ B

Hey guys,
for some week or maybe month, I'm having some kind of issue with my device and the home-wifi-router.
The problem: There are some kinds of webistes that just aren't working in my home wifi. I tried dozens of different browers all with the same result. Some pages that don't work are amazon.de obi.de and kicker.de and twitter.com
Same thing with the Amazon App and Twitter app. They just don't load any content - with mobile data on, it works out.
All of those pages and apps work out with other android devices and also in other peoples WiFi.
I also tried the secure mode, with the same result.
I've heard, that there might be an issue with ipv6, but, unfortunately I can't switch anything on or off in the router settings.
It's gotta be something about the router, but I can't change anything. Maybe there's a way to work around that with some kinde off app or something to turn Ipv6 off, IF that is the problem?
The phone has got stock rom, no root, no nothing. Maybe there is an opportunity with rooting? Warranty is expired, so there's nothing that speaks against rooting, if this might help. But then, I need someone to help me with all that - so far I only rooted an old nexus phone wia root toolkit.
Thanks!

I had exactly the same router. I hated it, my download stream was very slow that I was ready to throw it out of my window. Unfortunately it didn't happend.
Check your routers internet filter settings maybe something blocks your device . Also check your routers wifi settings if necessary turn it off and on again. Reboot your router or in worst case reset it BUT DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS DATA.
Try to change the wifi settings on your device. Change from DHCP to static and see if it works.

Thanks for your reply.
I checked everything, but there is no filter setting. I restarted wifi and turned of the router several times.
Static IP also seems not to work, the issues remain.

There must be a filter setting. Check the internet tab of your router settings and you should find a filter option.

I looked it up, but there is just the daily reset rule but in the filter tab there is no active rule or something that can be unchecked.

You should ask your internet provider about this situation...

Internet only available through samsung browser?

Hello everyone
i had something strange happen to me yesterday. out of the blue, i came to my s8 (G950F) saying internet is not available on my home wifi. i suspected that it's my networks's problem but it was not. everyone in my house had internet on his/her phone w/o a problem.
the strange thing is, both on wifi and cellular data (4g), i can view anything on my samsung web browser but i can't seem to get internet connection on any other app like youtube, chrome... etc.
i tried resetting the network settings and clearing cache partition but the problem was not fixed. trying to avoid hard resetting as much as possible.
any idea on what could be causing the problem what fix can applied?
thanks in advance.

problem is solved. i did a backup of my entire phone using smartwitch and formatted the phone. strange problem but everything is fine now.
