Browser Crash with Wireless location turned on when on Wifi - Captivate General

Has anyone else had the web brwser crash when the location is turned on(wireless networks) with Wifi only? Its odd.. i have tried a restart and i am sure it did not do this yesterday... any ideas? This seems to be only happening with google.... if i use another homepage i can open the defualt ATT yahoo one np(i noticed a weather wgdet embeded on the page so i assume it too is using my wirless location).. it must have to do with something in how the google page asks for my location accross the Wifi. Perhaps its google and they have changed somthing? Can anyone else use wifi network location with wifi on and go to google(it works fine on the 3g wireless network). Though i cannot for the life of me figure out why the google page will crash when trying to get my location(if i go to settings on the google page and disable get my location everything is fine)... does anyone know of any other sites i could use to test to see if its the google page or the wireless location call?
Thanks for your time and expertise.

ok i just tested the yahoo.com location and it got my location correct and did not crash... I have tried 4 captivates so i am very scared of hardware issues... this scream software to me.. i just have no idea how to fix it.

Has anyone else witnessed this? Have you tried refreshing your google search page 5-6 times and noticed the browser just close to home screen?

Opera/PIE crashing when opening web Gmail, But running fine when connected over WiFi

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

HTC fuze from at&t GPS problem

I bought a HTC fuze from USA and I took it to europe macedoni.I decoded it but I have problems with the GPS.every program I install for GPS wont work it is always searching satelites.What do I need to do?
Also I cannot use the radio any help about it?
Also the youtube application that I have wont play clips? dont know why?
and the instant messaging is not working also, if I try to log on to msn is stays on the status connecting and can stay like that for hours
Anyone help please!!
Did you change to a local carrier when you went to Europe? Chances are you have the wrong settings for data and therefore none of the programs that require internet will work.
Also, for the GPS, install Google Maps, enable GPS in that. Then switch to your GPS program while leaving Google Maps running. It helps the Fuze get a GPS lock might quicker.
Sorry, double post.
I installed the google maps and I turned it on.It says looking for GPS and then nothing.It says your location is temporary unavailable
help?

[Q] WP7.5 Bing Maps 3G error

Dear XDA-users,
I have an LG E900 in Sydney Australia on the Optus Network, which has been fully updated to Mango (and then the tethering update). (also chevron unlocked). Its set to Australian region and its an optus rom I think (or whatever comes with the phone...purchased in Australia).
I have a strange issue with my Bing Maps (standard one that comes with the OS).
When I try to "find directions" when I am using my 3G data it comes up with one of two error messages:
1) No Location Information: Bing Maps can't find your location at the moment. Try again later. (but it has found me correctly when I click the "me" button grrr)
2) Bing maps cannot reach the internet. Please check your 3g or wifi connection. (but I am completely connected to the internet).
So I have done some trouble shooting and both of these errors are illogical or incorrect.
first of all, when I click on the "me" circle it finds my location perfectly (scarily so).
Also I scroll around the map and zoom in and out and bing maps is clearly reaching the internet as it is constantly clearing up the resolution. Also I can go to use internet explorer just fine.
I have installed Nokia Drive and Bingle Maps and both of these applicaitons work perfectly for giving me directions on 3G.
Now the kicker, when I am at home and I connect to Wifi bing maps direction does work, but directions on Wifi is essentially useless for me, as its when I am out and about that I could really use it.
One last thing I tried finding directions on 3G data where I put both places as a fully written out address (as opposed to "My Location"), and it still doesn't work BUT if I go to search for an address (not directions), then it finds it straight away.
Is there something I can do to further trouble shoot or fix this error up in anyway? I really want this to work ...
I guess no one knows how to help me.... in that case does anyone know how I can "reset" or "re-install" the maps program or something to trigger it back to proper functionality.
also this is a bump to the first post haha.
Weirdly worked out what was wrong...but not why. In any case my issue is reolved now...
The APN from Optus was 'yesinternet' (as it should be). I had a friend who suggested changing it to just 'internet' like most carriers and see what happens. Did that, restarted the phone and instantly it was working. All other 3G dependant apps like email, explorer still works just fine.... so there you go...
Can anyone explain that?
Its fixed so mods you can put a resolved tag on this one if required.
Interesting. In the states, my 4g stopped working for like 1 whole day and i couldn't figure out why on att. what i did was manually put in the apn settings i found on the internet and it immediately started working. next day set back to auto everything was fine. Think my carrier was messing with settings but wouldn't admit to it.
Handy to keep those apn settings around in case of emergencies. maybe the original uses a proxy that filters out bing and the "internet" one does not?

This makes sense I guess, but pretty poor choice for Optus as they are the official seller of this model of phone in Australia.

Facebook/ Instagram apps wont load photos on wifi??

Anyone having this issue. Not exactly sure what changed in my wifi setup but in the facebook and instagram apps photos in my feed wont load. When i switch over to mobile data or use the web page in the browser over wifi they load fine. For some reason my wifi does not play nice with instagram and facebook apps. This is on my galaxy s4 but have tried several different devices and they all have the same issue.
Has anyone run into this problem? Tried searched and found some people who had the opposite issue with it not loading over mobile data but havent found a thread on this. Thanks for any tips.
I am having the exact same issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a facebook beta tester, Facebook fixed the issue in the latest version. That means you guys will have it between now and next week.

I am having the exact same issue, its seem to be a router problem, my newsfeed load fine one 4g and other wifi (i have a galaxy s2), but on my home wifi the newsfeed for facebook or instagram won't load, my sister is also experiencing the same problem with here galaxy S......any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FYI: i've tried restarting the router, upgrading the firmware which didn't work. also before i realized it was just the router i've tried force closing, clearing the cache and restarting the phone, i've also uninstall and reinstall the app several times.
I had a similar problem but I sorted it out today on my Nexus 4. My problem was, the default gateway on my phone was different from what it has to be for that specific wifi network.
In windows one can check the default gateway by running command prompt (cmd) and typing ipconfig.
On your phone you also have to check the advanced settings for that wifi network that you have problems with.
I set the Ip settings to static from DHCP and entered the default gateway values from my pc to my phone. You can also get another ip for your phone in that advanced settings tab if you think there may be an ip conflict but as I told, my problem was the differing default gateway values. I haven't changed the DNS which was google dns by default.
Key thing was the default gateway values for me and I'm hoping this will help many of you.
Problem Fix
if ur Instagram installed on ur sdCard then just move it to ur mobile memory it's 101% working

GPS Issue

Recently i have been having a problem with my GPS on my phone I recently moved from Ohio to North Carolina and I have noticed the issue only seems to be when i am connected to my Wifi But i have noticed some apps even when not connected to wifi still report my location as Ohio. My laptop and other devices when connected to wifi report my location correctly. My S7 will Report correctly if i disconnect from wifi but again some apps till will not update it i notice this by searching a store on google chrome in google and notice on the bottom of the page it will show my location as Ohio. or if i go to the Facebook app it and look at my profile in will say under location "Now in Port Clinton, Ohio" my location settings is set to high accuracy if i change it to GPS only it will fix some apps but others still shows my old home location Facebook seems to never change no matter what i do it always thinks i'm in Ohio. Good maps will sometimes show me like I'm at my old apartment in Ohio and i have to turn off the Location settings then turn it back on. I have tried the GPS Test app and cleared the GPS Cache and i have cleared my Google location history. My GPS does function as i can use it to drive but its very annoying as it cause apps that use my location to return bad results . and yes i have tried a factory reset. Please can any one offer any assistants.
