Has anyone else tried to view images on imgur and have it not work? This has been happening for the past few days now. Anytime I click an imgur link I am navigated to the page, but the images don't show up. If I long press on where the image should be and press display image, I get a page now found screen.
I know this is related to using my phone because when I go to the same pages on my desktop browser I have no issues.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on?
Imgur doesn't load the pictures.for me either

I'm having similar issues where certain websites won't load on the stock browser or dolphin browser, but loads it in opera. I really don't understand what's going on.
Well I'm glad to know that I'm not going crazy. Anyone have any ideas?
Change your dns settings. It's a Verizon issue. Can't believe they haven't solved this yet. This plus getting rid of unlimited data? Verizon and HTC are taking steps in the wrong direction now while ATT and motorolla are starting to listen. Wtf is happening ?

I get this same crap too in Houston and it has been pissing me off.
I assume you need to be rooted to alter your DNS settings? I am in Houston, is there a geographical pattern here for people who get the faulty DNS servers? I get issued IP's out of dallas.

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.

Above is my original post when I first encountered the upsell popup. After contacting T-Mobile, they really had no answer for me as they said I was the first to approach them about it. The rep. checked through his notes and found nothing. He agreed to follow up with me to see if any changes and when he called I suggested my theory. I found that if you have "View desktop pages" checked (in the stock browser app press the menu key and you should see this option), you will recieve this popup. By un-checking that option, you will not receive the popup BUT, now you will more than likely end up on a mobile site rather than the desktop site. I still have found out how to work around having the option selected but not receiving the popup. Any ideas??? Please share!!

that would make sense since t-mobile detects your browser's user agent string to determine if you are wifi tethering. we just have to wait for either chrome to change their UA string or for t-mobile to stop detect wifi tethering like that

Read again... OP states he was using the stock browser! I was afraid of (but hoping for) this.
If they start blocking people from full web pages then they may have to re-think their approach to charging for tethering!

+1 this can most definitely run off customers. I hate mobile views of websites.
That would be a deal breaker!!!
Oh for sure! Would those of us at tmo who are on custom rooms still be blocked from full web sites? This is taking it too far! Ridiculous! Come on what else will they do? I hate mobile versions.now I'm reconsidering my provider, I'm tmo but after my contract who knows? This control has gone too far,
Really!

I figured out how to make it work for a different, but related problem I had.
This was my solution:
The way I got it to work:
1. Selected Default T-Mobile Data APN
2. Delete all of the information from the APN type
3. Reboot Phone

Good suggestion, one caveat, you should be advising folks to back up or at the least, write down the APN info in case they have problems.

Yeah backing up is always a smart thing to do just in case. However there is an option to revert back to default settings when you press the menu so there shouldn't be too much to worry about. Good suggestion nevertheless!
Revert back to default is one of my favorite setting!
delete
So I don't know if this was expected since it was only a tempfix but i can't access it on any apn now even after rebooting...
Guess I need to look to upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus now...
Anyone had success in finding a new fix?

I went to the snapchat support page and went to report new problem under the "cant send snaps or stories" section but at first i couldn't log in to report the problem with snapchat because of course they blocked my ip so your gonna have to go to the link with your phone with your data off or with someone elses wifi. Your then going to want to report what your problem is to their developers and in less then like 5 hours it was working again. I hope this helped cause it worked for me.
Also i got rid of beta cause i think thats a bug in it that it blocks your ip cause of "suspicious" activity.:good:

Hello to anyone still maybe struggling with this. I personally had this problem and tried to entire messaging them about it - to no avail. That being said I believe I've figured it out. I always felt it was my wifi seeing as mcdonalds wifi worked just fine. Hence I finally went into my wifi settings (super convoluted with different extenders and dmzs and ports forwarded to pacify all house occupants) and on a hunch changed my dns settings at the modem level to googles from opendns-2 which was my primary. I left my secondary and tert alone (level 3-r1 and qwest-2 US respectively). Instant results. the only reason I had changed my dns to that in the first place was because a program had analyzed my connection to find what was supposedly the fastest. And while I feel it probably was, the primary was for some reason screwing with snapchat/ig and sometimes fb. anyways I hope this ends up helping someone somewhere out there.

So just to make sure you went in to your routers settings and changed the dns from what it was originally to google's DNS? Sorry for not understanding I'm just trying to recreate what you did to see if it could fix the same problem I'm having. Also if you have any advice on how to change the DNS in the router settings I can't find them for mine. Thank you!!
Hi! I'm having the exact same problem with snap chat and sending my snaps to others over the wifi here at home-- I called Telstra and they suggested contacting Snapchat- hav done that twice so far- selecting my issues etc then entering my username, phone type, email address and number then messaged them the details of my problem.. no response thus far from snap chat.. it works fine when u switch over to to 3 or 4G but no good over wifi.. wtf.. its so annoying!! Have plenty of data to use on wifi but Snapchat app just won't co operate.. I don't know what to do.. I need to know the exact steps to take to try fix it.. is there a way? I see Simone here has managed to do it changing to google DNS but I kinda need step by step help to get it right.. Thankyou in advance to anyone who can help me- and others too it seems who are having the same problem..
hope to get some help with this.. it's sooo frustrating!!
Cheers!

I'm having the same issue. I use talktalk as my isp. They are terrible anyway regarding speeds but i noticed that i couldn't refresh/use snapchat whilst on my home WiFi. I've checked my dns settings and it looks like my dns servers are already with googles free ones 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4...
Anyone know how to fix this issue?!!
Solved** Turns out it was HOLA, a VPN service that was blocking the pages. Just in case anyone else here is using pandora and uses that app... also i dotn know if it matters, but its worth mentioning, i changed the default ip to 192.168.0.1, and starting ip to 192.168.0.10
Good Morning-
I am using a Verizon HTC m8 in Venezuela, I have used several in the past, but this is the first one on MM... Stock, removed bloatware myself, rooted and s-off... i used the patch to enable the stock tethering app, but when i connect to my computer I can only get skype and some work applications (as well as the webpage for work, yay) to load. All other sites give me the page first that says no internet, then quickly loads a page that says page down or blocked. On 5.0.1 I was able to connect without any issues, I dont know if there is something I need to further configure to get it to work... any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
I have a picture, but i cant find where to load it... so if anyone needs to see it, please get at me
I swear I'm not tech-illiterate, but perhaps this has something to do with me. Every time I switch from an XDA tab to something else and back to XDA, it redirects to 'New Posts'. I've tested while logged in, while using Chrome's incognito mode without being logged in, as well via Edge and Firefox with the same behavior. Is anyone else experiencing this?
