Strange issue on 4.4 cm11 - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I can't access Google.com unless using Google chrome. I've tried multiple browsers as well as the built in browser and many different data sources (3g+4g+WiFi) and still I get web page is unavailable. I can get through if I hit refresh repeatedly. My desktops have no issue accessing google . this is the first time I've had an issue like this and I can't figure it out.

Did you dirty flash or clean? Clear the cache and galvik and try it again. Also, check if you can access it with a IP instead of domain... this could mean a DNS issue. http://74.125.21.101/
Ultimately, I'd post this in the CM11 thread to see if anyone else had the issue, though I don't recall seeing it in that thread.

Clean flash and the IP seems to work much better but if I click images it says unavailable.
I've also tried a DNS changer and tried Google DNS as well as other well know DNS services and nothing resolves the issue.
I didn't post in cm thread because I'm not sure if its a common system file that could be corrupt or what's going on and I also didn't see anyone with this issue.
Thank you for the help.

The images probably don't work because they will direct you to google.com/images/blahblah instead of 74.125.21.101/images/blahblah, what GApps did you flash? It sounds like maybe the Chrome is bad. Does it happen on any other site at all?

Yeah i know as soon as I click the links it uses the domain instead of IP. I flashed the gapps from cm.
Google chrome is the only browser I don't have this issue on. The default android browser and any other browsers cannot connect to google I've tried uninstalling them and uninstalling chrome and it makes no difference.
I would just use chrome but its fairly slow on my RAZR-M compared to some other browsers available.

Webpage not available
The webpage athttps://www.google.com/webhp?client=ms-android-verizon&source=android-home*could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
This is the error from built in android browser.

Empty response almost always means DNS issues in my experiences... see if the browser you are using has DNS settings built in to the settings area. Change the primary to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4. Also make sure that no sort of apps would be blocking those browsers from having the permissions they need.

Every other website works like yahoo so idk if it would be a permission issue. And I looked and didn't see any settings in browser. I used a root DNS changer to change the DNS to googles like you said but still same response. This is very weird I've never had this issue before and it doesn't matter if I'm WiFi or 3g-4g.

Dolphin
I just tried it with Dolphin Browser and it seems to work normally for me. I had the same issue with the stock browser.

Yeah stock and cm browser

same issue
I experience same issue. The problem isn't with stock browser. Gmail app has issues with showing mail content if there are images. Usually images won't load or part of them will be loaded.
I have tried everything else to solve it. I can say for sure that the problem isn't with browser.apk. Also there is no problem with SSL as other sites work fine. I think that the problem is with webviewchromium frameworks or libs. Chrome browser uses its own libs, so no problems with Chrome. But any app using webviewchromium will fail to load content from google sites.

Is there any way to maybe copy the lib from previous build? I know 0 about dev. but I've updated to a new snapshot and still get same exact issue its frustrating not being able to use Google or see images.

I have already tried to copy libs and frameworks from M7 to latest builds, but no success.

I'm also having this issue and was wondering if anyone had found a solution to this problem yet.
HTC One X (evita) CM11
Edit: I am able to use the Google Search app. In addition, StartPage.com (which uses google results) also works. If you really need Google and don't want to install dolphin that should work.
That said it doesnt totally fix the problem, as any google domain sites don't work.

You just have to update. I tried and couldn't fix it but after I updated all was ok

Web/User Agent mode

While browsing on here I noticed some sites that have mobile versions with no link to switch to desktop stay in mobile mode even when the user agent is changed to desktop. I wondered if this is a Sprint thing or Epic problem?

open your browser and type
"about:debug" w/o the quotes. then press enter. nothing on the screen will change, press menu> settings and choose user agent string

Isn't this a cookies thing?
what site?
I do notice some sites still go to m.********.com
but sites like google and facebook dont seem to be an issue to me
try dumping the nav cache the cookies and if all else fails. Make a backup and restore to stock to see if it is a problem with your rom.
if it works on stock then ok. if not maybe there is a problem with your rom.
P.S.
dont forget to sign out of any site that you are signed into
I'm stock no root or custom yet(waiting for 2.2) but Chase website and Tube8(nsfw) among other flash based sites. Now I don't have flash but some sites offer flv/mp4 downloads which I can play.

I had this issue as well. Here's how I solved it
Type about:debut in the address bar then hit enter (you won't see it do anything)
Go to Settings, change UAString to Desktop
Check the option for Normal Rendering about 5 settings up
Now all sites come up in the full version for me.
thanks los...

Tried this, and BBC.com still reverts to the mobile site for me regardless.

Did that but it still goes to mobile on certain sites. I also recently tried using a frame like when you translate a page the url at the top is say google translate but you're somewhere else but couldn't find one that allows pages to load properly (the mentioned example being the mobile site lol and couldn't translate pages). Next thing for me to try is a web proxy but this method and the one before definitely won't serve me for practical use, so at this point I'm just seeing what works.

Stock browser XDA site unable to search

when tapping on the search dropdown box, it closes automatically as soon as the keyboard pops up.
i tried classic theme and 2010 theme.
any ideas why?
I have the same problem on my gtab. The only solution is to click on advanced search.

Had this issue no matter which browser I used.
same here. Thought that was odd to.
I found that it works when using Opera Browser. Doesn't work with Stock or Dolphin Tab for me. Weird...
It's likely the sh*tpoor javascript code on XDA that's interfering. They should do something about it.
I always use Google to search XDA by appending "site:xda-developers.com". Relevance is higher.

That is a good tip, btw. Atleast Google's search engine usually works exceedingly well.
its sad that this site, which is so heavily focused on mobile devices cannot be built on software tht runs correctly on anything other than windows.

Odd Facebook Issue

So I was able to get DL17 working last night. Now I'm having an odd issue with FB. I'm attempting to update the factory FB, which is apparently around version 1.2. I attempted to update to the latest version (1.6.1) and it keeps crashing while loading. Everything downloads fine and says it successfully installs, but it keeps crashing.
What am I doing wrong?

The facebook official app really sucks, badly, each update keeps getting worse. i would recommend use friendscaster
yeah, you aren't doing anything wrong. it's 99% likely to be the app

if you have root i would suggest using titanium backup to delete your facebook and then update thru the market, my wife was having this issue
I have Friendcaster on my droid... I'm not completely sold on it, either. Although, the paid version might be better than the free one.
I was able to send her the apk for 1.6.0 (the latest is 1.6.1) and THAT apparently updated just fine. If she has any issues updating from now on, I may point her to Friendcaster.
I just use the mobile site

I did that on my old Blackberry, as the FB app for it bit. But, I like the options some of the apps vs. the mobile site. The problem I'm finding between the 3 is inconsistencies of what you can do. I know I used one to tag friends. I know the regular FB app, you can't add check-in places (you can with mobile site or Friendcaster). Seems odd that the 3 would be different.
Touch.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook.com in my opinion

I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I never saw the + to add one. It really wasn't a HUGE issue, but I was trying to add one for my house and my in-laws house. Had to use Friendcaster to do that.
Just start typing the name of the place you want to add and when Facebook can't find it, it will say "add [check in place]"

Download Unsuccessful????

When i go to download a file from the browser, it downloads to 99% then says 'Download Unsuccessful'. It happens everytime and it is really annoying because i have to download it off my computer and then transfer it to my phone. I'm running CM10 nightlies with Air Kernel #201. Any help would be appreciated! :laugh:

Try turning off wifi sleep? If you're connected to wifi and this is off then when the screen cuts off it kills your wifi connection.
Don't quote me on this.
Either clear data on your download manager or uninstall chrome (it's been known to cause problems) and/or switch to an alternative browser

i haven't problem with chrome :laugh::laugh:
clear cache of your download manager, maybe resolve it
What browser are you using? I usually have this issue with the stock browser, but using dolphin or opera mini generally works better for me. I've also used the app "easy downloader pro" from the play store, it will let me resume a download that didn't compete the first time...

It's been happening to me lately on CNA 3.5 with the stock browser.
Every time I clear the data in my Download Manager things start working again.
Eventually it starts to mess up again though. >_>
Mine does it on 3g with stock browser. Sometimes I have to click retry like 20 times before it gets it. And for me it works best when nothing else is running.
And Im also on cm10 and air kernel, but I've had that problem with every ROM and kernel I've used.
Like the other guy said, try a different browser, dolphin is nice
