This is my first android device and so far I like it a lot (was previously on windows mobile)
I help run a sim racing site and I'm having a problem with a url to a scoring program we use. It always says "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to comminicate." on the captivate.
and it has the upside down android in the spots the data should show in.
I have tried multiple browsers with no luck. It works fine on my old moto q and it works on my friends iphone both with at&t. I should also mention that it works on my captivate if I am on wifi.
Here is a link to our site h t t p://nr2003.com and here is a link to the content I'm trying to view h t t p://gs58.mtco.com:27035/ARCAHotlaps
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was able to use Wifi, but not 3g. I believe AT&T might have an issue with directing to a certain point on your server (27035).
This is a connectivity issue with AT&T. I'll try Dolphin browser next.
EDIT: Dolphin did not work but Opera did work. Opera uses their servers to transfer data. I believe it helps speed up data transmission over 3g networks.
Thanks madjsp but would they have an issue with this phone only?
I don't understand why it comes through on the q and the iphone and they are both with at&t also.
I can get there on the captivate's default browser by using a get.php file.

Could that port be blocked on the phone maybe or is that possible? As you can probably tell, I don't have a clue about this stuff lol
Sorry for the spaces in the links but I can't post a link.
I've been browsing this forum for a couple years and just now had the need for a post
XDA is awesome!!
Some browsers do block non-standard ports, but I would expect it over 3G and WiFi. Do you have another Android phone you can try it with?
I can only come to the conclusion that the iphone data plan offers different browsing experiences. Try calling att and ask them about it. They might be able to tell you why.

I called at&t this morning and they said it wasn't an issue with them but who knows.
They told me to call samsung in the morning. I dread that call.
I am unable to find anyone here at work with at&t and android but I did test a droid through sprint and it worked perfectly with a 1.5 version of android.
I also tried it on a verizon ally on a 2.1 version of android but his is an ere27 build I think and mine is an eclair build.
If someone out there with a different build of android through at&t could try it, it would help tremendously.
Either way, I'm calling samsung when I get home from work in the morning and while I'm at it, I might as well mention the gps issues.
If I could get these two issues resolved, this phone would be perfect for me.
This has gotten even more weird.
With wifi the web pages open ok but with the 3G network they dont.
This all with the captivate browser, with the opera everithing is ok (but I like the original browser more)
Here are some pics One with WIFI(page ok) the other with 3G (page not ok)
I have Auto fit checked
text zize medium
no landscame only( thw problem does not fix)
I have reseted my phone and my browser and the problems does not fix.
Please help.

Hi, I just bought a HTC Touch Cruise on ebay and I'm using on AT&T US (Minnesota). There's so many things I CAN'T do with the phone right now...
I have an unlimited data plan with AT&T, but for some reason I can't connect to gmail to download my messages. I also can't download weather forecast for my city or any other city. The weird thing is that I can access the internet with internet explorer and the Opera browser with no problems (Except the opera does not open google sites).
On top of all, everything I described above works perfectly with my WI-FI home network. I assume it's a problem with my AT&T configuration.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance
It would help if you tell us what the config settings you have in your Cruise are right now. Did you use the connection setup wizard?
I did use de wizard for the AT&T connection. I also used the wizard for my e-mail account. I tried diferent settings with my mail too. Nothing that uses my data plan works besides the internet, but everything works fine with wi-fi. I'm really sad that I have this amazing phone and most of the features does not work. Please anyone help!!
i am from australia and I do not know alot about US carriers but, maybe they use proxies? maybe they block some sites. I think either your setting in the phone are wrong or the block sites. maybe give them a call and get there settings the could even be on there website.
Oh my God, I feel so stupid...
I fixed the date and time and everything works now.
What an idiot mistake to make. Anyway, thanks for the replies.
Now I can enjoy my phone!
So, I recieved my Touch Pro from Expansys this morning, and using it today with T-Mobile I've noticed a rather strange phenomenon. Whilst connected to the interenet over T-Mobile's network, both Opera and PIE crash when trying to open the Gmail page. However, if I turn off the phone, and just connect over my WiFi, it loads fine. As soon as I switch back and try to navigate through my messages, Opera crashes. I'm going to do some more investigating, but I just wanted to get this out there and hear everyone's thoughts. I did install Google Gears before noticing this, and thinking that that might be causing the problem, uninstalled it, but it has made no difference.
For reference, the ROM etc details are:
R 1.02.25.19
G 52.33.25.17U
D 1.90.00.00
Anyone else experienced this?
(I've also posted this at MoDaCo - http://tinyurl.com/4w52dh)
I have now found the resolution to this problem, which I am assuming only applies on T-Mobile's network. It seems that the proxy for T-Mobile was blocking secure connections (i.e. to sign in to Google), so to get around this, you need to go into connection settings, and then view the proxy settings, and disable the proxy for the connection 'T-Mobile Internet'. I'm sure this will be obvious to some, but just wanted to close this post in case anyone else comes across this.
If anyone has any info on why this was happening I would very interested to know the cause, particularly as I have just switched from a Kaiser where the connection settings were identical.
Good work for posting this up. If I stick on T-mobile it will be useful
thanks was having the same problem earlier today...was thinking t-mobile capped me or something.
cheers
Hi All, I have a question I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with.
I have a Nexus S i9020A running CM 7.0.2 on AT&T. I've noticed something strange lately and can't quite pinpoint the problem.
I'm running a server at my house with a no-ip address to access my tv show downloads. I'm able to access this from the browser (any browser) while connected to wireless (in my network, or out) but only intermittently while on cellular data. When it isn't working it simply keeps trying to connect until it times out. I haven't yet recognized a pattern of when it works vs when it doesn't.
I thought for a bit it might be a DNS issue, but even with the straight IP address it won't load. Funny thing is, I'm still able to SSH into my router using ConnectBot, so I know the address is correct and the phone can see it. Other apps like RDP won't work either while I'm having this issue.
It's not the end of the world, but it sure is annoying. I'd like for it to work whenever I need it. Any ideas?! I'm stumped.
Thanks everybody!

I know nothing about networking, just so you know. It sounds like you know much more. I will offer a guess. With some other phones than the ns, sprint has multimedia proxies set for when you are on their network. Streaming music works on wifi but not cell. Use the msl to get into settings, ##data# is the code for sprint phones, and I forget what they are called but there's two proxy addresses and ports that need to be zeroed out then reboot in order to get streaming to work. This is probably not a solution for you but I thought I'd offer something since nobody else has chimed in yet for suggestions.
RS something or another. The other setting is always right next to the first one and generally at the bottom of the list of settings. It could be in advanced or multimedia. Different places for different phones. It would be wise to write down the default addresses and ports before changing them in case it doesn't work or breaks something. It usually doesn't though.
Hey herb, thanks for the response. I see what you're saying, but I don't think it applies here. I know I made it sound like I was streaming or downloading music through the phone...my mistake. What I actually meant was that I'm accessing a web site running from my house to control my home machine downloading music. It's nothing complicated, I'm just sure I'm explaining it terribly.
But, essentially it's just a regular old web page. It's just very strange that it would work wireless and not over cellular. They do run on funky ports, so that they're blocking or redirecting some stuff is very possible. Annoying...
Hi guys, hope i dont get someone angry with my problem.
Anyways, i got a Galaxy Tab P1000n as a present for my birthday some days ago, and in my country there's an operator (movistar) that offers 3g usb modems using gsm (sim cards), i already have one so i said given that the p1000n is unlocked i would pop the sim into the galaxy tab configure the APN and thats it.
But if only life were that easy, it seems my operator Movistar (also known as Telefonica) uses a captive portal, meaning that everytime it "connects" it opens a page where their 3g portal loads and one in which u got to press "navegar" to start browsing, also, if u dare to close the page it autodisconnect u (the page uses javascript, and connects to a server running tomcat it seems).
So when i put the sim into my galaxy tab, in order to connect to the 3g network i use the internet browser to allow myself in, but after some minutes the connection dies.
One because the browser (being it the native, dolphin HD or FF4) goes into sleep mode or something, forced by the OS, or because the script of the page is expecting Internet Explorer (if u check the code it's like looking for ALT-F4 to detect that the page was closed and so on).
So i dont know what to do, a friend told me to look for a way to keep the app (FF4 or Dolphin HD etc) Running always in the background, but doing so would be like having a service, and also disable the app for normal use, not counting that i'd have a mamoth of an app running just to use a page.
Another friend told me that maybe using linux commands and a script + cron would do the trick of autologin me to the network and keeping me on it.
And i sincerely dont know what approach to take, i've been looking online for something similar or someone with the same problem but i havent been able to find anything clear.
And i appeal to you guys cos u are extremely wise and i respect ur suggestions.
Hope u guys could help me, cos i have no choice about this, all the 3g services that the operator offers go thru this portal (at least those that are available to me i'm sure there are some fat cats or old cows who got old services without this).
Hey all;
I saw some DFT clutter on some other ROM threads. It was suggested to make a new thread. I have permission from Mwang to make an error reporting thread so... here it is. Also... for all those who don't have DFT's ROM for the Gold_C you can PM Mwang for download instructions. I am working on getting permission to put links and dl instructions on this thread as well so look for updates. Thank you.
Has a newer version of the DFT rom for GOLD_C been released? One major bug is that wifi mac address changes with every reboot.
Still a badass rom!

-Some programs you cant see well unless you have the theme on dark, I think I read somewhere that it was a common bug in his wp7 roms.
-Maybe not a bug but an issue (If Mwang used sprints rom as a base) the sms bug that limits you to 160 characters per text is present like in the sprint rom
It is soo much better than the the official sprint rom tho
I have been having data connection issues. I will have full service and my data connection on and apps will say I have no connection. I have tried to update my network connection and prl and this continues to be an issue. For whatever reason I can usually go into internet explorer and go to a website and that will work and then return to an app I was having issues with and then the connection works. Seems really strange to me. Anybody else else having similar problems? Any solutions out there?

I can't connect with zune anymore. Two hard resets and two reflashes later my phone is still not recognized by zune software.
I've been having issues sending MMS quite often. To fix it every time I have to go to Settings -> Cellular -> Change Network Profile & Change PRL. That and I have had a handful of random freezes occur all while in the Messaging Hub.

I have had something similar, although I've found that the internet is working still but incredibly slow, even when connected to Wi-fi, it seems like even with Wi-fi on, the phone prefers to use the network connection. I've found that turning on airplane mode and then using Wi-fi makes the internet work fine and quick, but with both on it seems to go much slower (but not always). Other than that it seems to be working fine
HTC Arrive ROM ???/Issues
I love this ROM, much better then stock but when I am on a call and the computer voice says" press 1 for xxx press 2 for yyy" I press the buttons but the system doesn;t respond like I didn't press anything at all. Also the Speaker volume seems to be 1/2 as loud. Last but not least is there a GPS program I can d/l? I used navigator all the time but since this ROM doesn't come with it I don't know what to use.
Thanks for your time!

you can search for "TeleNav" in the market, "Waze" in the Bazaar, or you can search online for "Nokia Drive" xap where you would have to deploy from your computer. I'm not going to link to the Nokia Drive as I don't know how legal it is to do so.

If you didn't yet, try a hard reset. That solved all my issues. I should have remembered that from the TP2 days...
I too am having issues with the internet speeds. My phone is constantly going into 1x. i can have full bars and it still goes 1x. even with Wifi on the phone still tries to use the cellular data and if that says 1x well its slow as hell. I have re flashed the rom and also done hard resets a few times, it didn't fix it for me, i mean it works great for a little while than the same problems persist.
According to what people are saying in ansar rom, it has the same problem with the connectivity. Hopefully there will be an update to fix this.
Another bug is that picture mail fails 95% of the time. i found that if you switch wifi off and than do a reset it usually works for a few times.
I wonder if we can fix our DATA issue if we input the APN settings into the rom. I used to run droid on my tp2 and we had to configure the APN for things to work as expected. I have searched around google and such and cannot find any working APN settings. Does anyone know of any that will work or have tried it?
Hey guys first off happy Easter to everyone! Secondly, I think I might have found a workaround for the WiFi cutting out on DFT sprint rom for the arrive. If you are on this rom and you have sprint well than you probably noticed the phone always going into 1x and than the WiFi taking forever to load. I had seen a post about shutting off cellular data and that was suppose to help. Well, I tried that and it worked for a little bit but than it stopped.
What I found is that if you change the network setting from automatic to home only that the WiFi no longer cuts out. The phone still says 1x but my WiFi hasn't cut one time and beforehand it was constantly working slow and or not working at all. Also, every picture mail that I have tried to send has went through without a single fail which it was a real pain in the butt to get one to send before. I haven't done too much testing as to whether the phone works better when not in WiFi but since I'm always in the office or at home, I'm always connected. But at least now it's working much much better!
Reg Settings for EVDO (3g is slow)
I have, like others, had similar issues. Also, after updating to the rom i noticed that the 3G speeds have dropped significantly (WIFI off).
I am clocking in at ~300k as opposed to 1.2Mb before even though the phone has 5 bars and EV.
I am not sure if this will provide any insight, or if I am even on the right track/know what i am talkin about, but if i browse the registry to
"HKLM\Comm\Cellular\DataSpeed"
There are settings for only 1xEVDO. Is this right?
What about EVDO rev A?
Thanks in advance for any input!
