URL is Blocked - When useing browser, Any ideas? - General Topics

Hi guys, Im on ATT network. The Data connection on the Aria I just got for my wife works fine for everything but browsing the internet over data connection. Everytime I enter a URL i get a "This url is blocked" message. It also happens with internet explorer on my tilt, but not opera.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I know there are multiple browsers for android, even though the stock one is excellent. I don't know if this will work, but on our work computers simply changing http to https works

No go on my Tilt.

Just a quick update. It turns out i had Parental controls enabled on my account. Everything works after diabling them.

Opera Mini works but not PIE?

Since my first ROM flash (and who knows maybe before that) I have had tremendously hard time getting PIE to connect to the internet. What's strange is that after I install opera MINI it connects and loads pages no problem despite the fact that PIE loads nothing.
I need to download some files and I've tried:
-rebooting phone
-deleting cookings
-deleting files
-deleting history
I'm using the WAP.cingular settings because the ISP.cingular really don't seem to work at all (PIE doesn't work in either - I THINK MINI only works with WAP settings).
I have the Cingular Personal unlimited DATA with the 1500 text messages.
Any ideas why PIE is so problematic
Thanks
Did you registry edit any of the cache or history, etc to the card? If so, move it back to the original settings.
No one else is having problems connecting to the internet?

No, I have the same problem.
Opera Mini works fine but PIE does nothing. I don't have any clue why.

I can ONLY get online with PIE and not with any other app (Sling Player, Google Maps, Opera, etc). I don't know why, either. I hadn't changed a thing. It just started happening tonight and it's happening on my Tilt and the wife's Blackjack. Makes no sense whatsoever...
What network are you on, and where?
I called this evening, and from what i understood, ATT had been having data network issues since the afternoon
This has been happening for me either since day one or since my first Dutty ROM.
Here's what I've observed:
with WIFI only I get PIE to work
with Data connection only I get Opera MINI, IM+ to work
IM+ and Opera WILL NOT work with WIFI connection
Something is miffed?
Try enabling the "Hidden Proxy", and try using the browsers again.
Then Disable it, and do the same test. post your results.
My data connection was only working through medianet with the Proxy enabled. I hard reset, and reinstalled everything from scratch (something i was planning on doing), and now my medianet works without the proxy again.
Yeah, this happened to me last week. I installed the hidden proxy app to work with CingularVideo.cab and I could only connect through programs other than PIE.
I went into
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"
and changed "EnableAutoDetect" to "1".
Not sure if this will help, but it's an option for you.
Just checked- don't have that registry entry. just httpproxy (1) and some other settings nothing about proxy auto detect or anything close though. Checked all subfolders
Still no solution, any thoughts dutty?

YouTube Player not working

This is probably something simple, but it is driving me mad. The internt browsers (opera and IE), work. Google maps, works. Syncing emails, works. Weather updates, works. Youtube player, never finds anything. In the top rated menus, it just says no videos and when I do a search, it just sticks on searching, never does anything.
Can anyone help?
I use Vodafone here in NL and Youtube worked fine in Opera but the Youtube app didn't play the videos.
I found out that Vodafone here in NL, by default, uses a proxy setting in it's sim cards. I removed the proxy and the Youtube app works great now.
The proxy also prevented MSN Messenger from working on my Touch Pro.
Maybe your telco does something similair?

Hmm strange thing i can download the headers but when i want to stream (play) the video it doesn't work then on 3G network. It only works when i'm connected to WiFi.
check the t&c's of your contract.
Many networks do not allow streaming of video over their network.
Many do not allow messenger.
many have a proxy that screws things up.
if when the proxy is turned off, it works over wi-fi but not over GPRS or 3G it means that your network is blocking that function over the network.
you may have to upgrade your data bundle, or just live with it, but check your contract terms.
I have removed the proxy, I will have to check with T-Mobile. Thanks guys

I have the same issue but you just disabled the proxy at Settings/Connections/Connections? Is it really that easy
@ lostprophet.
as you're with T-Mobile UK, remove the adult filter from your account as well. that's what i had to do on mine.

Ah of course! I forgot about that. I keep meaning to do it but I don't have a credit card so I have to go to the shop and show my drivers license, but I haven't had my first bill yet so I have no accout details.
I guess I'll have to wait till the end of the month, thanks for the input
EDIT: Worked Out how to remove the lock, still no videos and nothign in the T&C's about video streaming. Looks like I will have to give them a call
Recently the proxy has been blocking push mail for me aswell, not just with my Raph but with the Hermes aswell.....i assume theyve messed with the port blocking and etc..
Right, proxy is off, content block is off, still no luck. mrvanx or rhedgehog, your both on t-mobile uk, I assume it works for you?
Fraid so.
on the £12.50 wnw+ which does allow streaming. the £7.50 wnw standard does not.
check the content lock though. it took about 24 hours before it was removed on my account. even though the my t-mobile web site said it had been taken off, it still was hanging around in the background for a few hours....
Dunno about them messing with the port blocking, haven't used a proxy in years so can't comment on if it's changed or not!
How did you get the 12.50 package? I saw no mention of it on thier website, or in the T&C's. Is there a higher limit on the data cap?
You can always ring them to upgrade to the web'n'walk plus plan. I take it it works with a wi-fi connection. If not then try soft resetting.
yup.
there's 3, or at least there was when i signed up for it last february.
£7.50, 1GB, no streaming, IM or VOIP.
£12.50, 3GB, Streaming, IM, no VOIP (Although i have trouble getting IM to work)
£25, 5 GB, do what you wish (ooh. Neverending story reference, man i'm a saddo!)
i think they still do them.
Edit: IM seems to be working today!
Vodafone user just have to disable their proxy and then everything works/streams just fine. Just disabled it on my Raph now i can watch my YoopToob on 3G again.
Thanks bozotheclown for the tip
YouTube with EDGE in the US..?
How do you guys think the touch pro will handle the YouTube streaming on an EDGE connection in the USA..? Does it degrade the quality to spped up performance like the iPhone..?
it's only really got the two quality settings.
High quality, and fast download.
I guess on edge it would buffer for quite a while on the high quality. I know where i am in the UK, i either get GPRS (No EDGE on t-mobile UK) or HSDPA, and on GPRS it really stutters. but i guess on edge, which should be at least twice the speed, it may be bearable.
the fast download is just horrible to watch, and i wouldn't recommend it! I'd wait until either the NA version comes out so you can get 3g/HSDPA, or until someone here figures out if it is possible to activate that american bands on all devices.
Gotcha, another Q... I have the pro in the US under at&t. I un-checked the proxy and I can now surf the web and also use the youtube app which by the way still streams fine under edge but the quality is not as good (like the iphone) but I can not send any MMS messages. I keep getting this forbidden error after it makes an attempt. I just xchanged my plan over today from the iphone so maybe I should wait till tomorrow to see if that changes anything on at&t's end. I did confirm the mms settings are correct in the MMS server settings and still nothing. I also noticed that many phones like the tilt require a proxy, not sure about the tytn II. but there were some setting with a proxy CAB file that wwere not set up on the pro... Do you think this is required..? I would think not as I was able to send MMS messages just fine on my 9502 imate when I had it.
Hi. I had problems with YouTube also (it was showing "No Videos" all the time), and solved them simply deleting all contents from YouTube folder (mine was on Internal Storage - I own a Diamond). Hope it helps.

2 problems, please help

I am running the stock HTC ROM on a Fuze. TF3D Weather will open a 3G data session but will not update. It will update over WiFi no problem.
Also, Opera claims I do not have JavaScript enabled when I try to go to a site like Hotmail. I checked the settings and it is enabled. Also, NetFront 3.3 and IE do the same thing.
I have searched but I am lost as to what might be causing these two issues. Thanks
HTC STOCK ROM on fuze? Do you mean that you flashed the HTC stock rom over the stock att rom on the FUze?
If so did you uncheck the proxy server from settings/connections?
Yes, the stock Touch Pro ROM was flashed on a Fuze. I thought the proxy issue was only needed if you use Media Net which I do not. I just let auto connection wizard set up AT&T's "My ISP" connection...
Well, the proxy trick fixed the weather update issue in TF3D. That was weird. Pocket weather Updates fine with and without proxy selected. Any idea why my browsers would keep stating I need to activate Javascript when it is selected in all of my browser settings? Thanks
rdtce --
I am having the same problem. Opera works really well EXCEPT that it won't render any Javascript when I surf the Web. I know it's Javascript, because I tested the same pages on my iPod Touch, which rendered fine until I turned off the Javascript, and then the pages looked exactly as on my Fuze.
Like you, I have Javascript enabled in Opera. I also checked in Connections under "Media Net" that the proxy was disabled, as I had seen in other posts. Also, I went into "opera:config" (type exactly that in the Opera address window -- no "http://"), and under "Proxy" made sure everything was unchecked. These are the only tweaks I've read about, and they still didn't work for me.
Any ideas on how to fix this, anyone? Please help...

FoxFi and T-Mobile working?

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with FoxFi and wifi tethering with the One S on stock software that uses t-mobile?
I have tried it on both my One S and GS3 and both show enabled and when I try to connect with a windows 7 laptop says it is unable to connect right away.
That is both it encryption on and off. Also tried different unused AP names.
I know it is not supported with the GS3 but anyone out there have luck with the One S?
Not sure if needed something with the phone setup that may need to be different.
Anyone?
I tried FoxFi, tethering my phone to my laptop running mint 13 and then my desktop running windows 7, both connected and worked with no problem. Now I'm running CM10 and using native tethering.
Ok got the app atleast connecting to the computer with the 1.91.3 from foxfi.com/bin
but now even though I am connecting it seems like certain things work and others dont
my google talk program found internet and connected but loaded chrome and it gave me t-mobile upsell error message
Read at the end of this thread, the solution offered today works without touching APN's.

My experience making FoxFi work on T-Mobile
My experience is that T-Mobile will check the user agent string and block non-mobile ones.
This happens when using wifi, bluetooth, and USB connections to FoxFi.
I can connect to my T-Mobile phone using wifi with FoxFi from another mobile phone or tablet just fine.
If you use an https page from your desktop, you can usually get through. I've read the HTTPS encrypts the user agent string, so T-Mobile can't read it.
If you try to access a plain HTTP page from your desktop browser, it seems T-Mobile puts a 10-30 second block on all your traffic.
Some people say they change the user agent string on their desktop computers to get around this. Then T-Mobile thinks your desktop browser is a cell phone browser and lets it though. But that can force you to see a mobile version of a website.
You can also use FTP, SFTP, ... from your computer and probably get through fine since there are no user agent strings on those protocols.
A slightly easier option is to use a VPN on your computer. ProXPN has a pretty simple free version. AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield has a free version, but it adds ads to the web pages you view. Or you could use a company VPN if it makes everything go through it. That encrypts the traffic and T-Mobile can't read the user agent string.

Public WIFI spots connects but no internet

While my phone connects and shows an excellent connection it does not get internet. This is a new phone so have not tested it in very many places but at our condo clubhouse which my previous phone and a friends works fine I get a good connection but no internet. Today in Walmart I had a similar problem connection shows strong but when I try to get internet I get a box saying something like this may not be a secure connection or some similar warning (can't remember exact words)
I have looked all through settings and cannot find anything that I need to change.
Anyone know what could be the problem?
It looks like it's looking for the pop-up allowing you to connect and you're not seeing that pop-up. What browser are you using? If it's Chrome then download Opera or any other browser and see if it shows you the pop-up. Once you get in with another browser then any should work after that.

No popups on my clubhouse wifi needed. Tried it again this afternoon and this time I got a connection. I read in another forum that this can occur from time to time but no reason given.
I just hope it is not a frequent occurance.
