[Issue] Bowser stops using data connection - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This isn't a lag problem. It doesn't matter if I use stock browser or Dolphin...but when surfing the internet about after 5 pages the browsers will stop using the data connection. It doesn't matter if it's 3g or wifi. The browsers will still work, they aren't frozen. They just won't load any web pages...no matter what web pages they are. I won't get a dead link web page message, I'll just get a white screen as it is trying to load a web page. Only a reboot fixes this. Any ideas what is wrong?

Bowser is using your phone?!?!?!
No seriously though, have you tried Opera? Dolphin uses the same core as the stock browser and I had this issue quite often on some of Morfic's kernels but using Opera the problem went away.

ok, i'll try opera. i had this problem both with trinity and netarchy kernels.
thanks.

Browser doesn't work

I was Rom shopping and noticed my browser stopped working. I am currently running Blackhole 2.0 but have this problem with any rom I run or if I just go back to he original back up of root. I am using the MR 2 radio and everything is working great.
So I get 4g (LTE) speeds with the hotspot, I can access facebook and pop3 mail, so I know the internet is working
Whenever I use the search or go directly to the browser it won't load a page. The green status bar starts to fill in but just stops and hangs. Sometimes but very rarely if i go to book marks it will load a page but it's super slow and completly un usable.
When I install my roms I do a full wipe
My speed test (Via hotspot) is 19.11Mbps

[Q] Problem with web browsing on wifi

I've been having problems with web browsing on wifi. I can go to certain web pages such as google and i can search stuff but when i try to go to other web pages either they half load or it says network connection error.
I know my router was having DNS issues because all the computers i had to set the DNS to google DNS for it to work. I set my phone's DNS to google but it didn't seem to work. Also i've tried many different browsers all to the same result. I also went from stock rom to android hd revolution, same problems. It is getting pretty annoying, i feel like it is a DNS issue but i changed it to googles 8.8.8.8.. sooo

Facebook for Android Problem

The application Facebook was ever too slow and I do not using it. I was login from browsers and everything was okay. Few days ago in all browsers I have, was impossible to see any image content on site of Facebook. So I download thems application but there was same problem. It loading pretty fast but it skip to load the photos. Even after selecting a thumbnail and open the photo I get only the black background of the image viewer of Facebook. But today I discover a very strange case. This problem with Facebook images is existing only on wifi networks. All other sites loading images without any bugs. When I am connected with my mobile data Facebook works perfect. I tryed too many times with switching to wifi and mobile data this morning. It load the photos only over mobile data. The net on my home router is much faster for sure but Facebook works better on the slower mobile data. 90 % of my surfing is browsing photos with huge resolution in hundred sites. The problem is only on Facebook site. At least is working over the mobile data and I can still use it. On my laptop everything is okay all the story of the post is about my android phone. Any ideas what stoppes Facebook working normal over wifi?

Well ayydin, your not alone. This is a huge problem for them at the moment and there is seemingly little known as to what is suddenly causing this, and when a fix might appear. Just be reassured that there are a million + other prople out there with the same problems. FYI, I tried many fixes, nothing solved the problem in the long run.
Whenever I launch Facebook while on Wifi, it tries to go to the mobile connection. But since Mobile Data is off, it doesn't work.
I go into LogCat and see something about "ipv6dns current tech is 14" message.
I've tried using SetDNS to bind IPv6 to IPv4, but no go... Facebook is the primary problem, but it seems like other apps (browser, twitter) tries the mobile network first instead of the Wifi... and every time it's due to IPv6 in Logcat... Still don't have an answer though.
I sometimes experience the same problem. It's so irritating that I practically stopped using FB on my phone...

Wifi periodically not loading/spinning on facebook, browser and in games

I have the latest firmware on my asus router with all udates and fixes.I use the router plain and simple with no features like icloud or other things. I am alone so it is just I that use wifi on my mobile. Often when i use fakebook or browser it will not load and is just spinning...and wifi is connected(i also check this when it is happening). So to solve it i have to turn off wifi and turn on 4g.and use that a few seconds and then back to wifi..then it is ok until next time it happen. And it happen more often on browser than fakebook. I also tried to check out other browsers but same result. Tried to search internett and xda but no sucsess....Does anybody know anything about this problem?
And maybe it is just the way things are. I also quite often have to restart my computer when youtube videos(often) or Netflix(only sometimes) wont play..just black screen in youtube websitescreen.
I have had this problem for a while now but nobody answer mer or acknologedge this problem. I have posted this in general in Note 3 thread and in a Merl router forum.

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.
