Cannot access google.com or Market - HTC Sensation

Hello,
Im having a problem on my sensation, where I cannot access google.com or the market. I can access all other application which use the web, but not these.
I was thinking its an APN issue but im not sure Any Ideas?

What error message are you getting? And what happens when you try to browse to other sites?

Was getting server not responding from google.com but all other sites working.
And connection error to the market

Seems like something is blocking Google. This happens over wifi or just on the mobile network?
Try tethering a PC to the mobile phone and see if you can access google.com through the phone's connection.
This will let us know if the problem is with the phone or the data connection itself.
If its the phone you can consider flashing it to factory settings. Are you on stock or do you have a custom ROM?

This is problem with my mobile network, not an issue on wifi.
I have issues with no data on 3g also, only works on H / 3g+.
This had been the same behavior on both stock and custom, currently running rev hd.
its seems to be an issue with 3 in UK or my settings...

Maybe your provider has google blocked????? That's a strange prospect though.
Were you able to try the tethering?

I had the same problem, internet seemed to hang and the load also, but doing a speed test i was getting 2mbs. Did not seem to make any sense.
Its the APN settings for 3. Im guessing the APN settings you have are what i had with the phone. APN "three.co.uk" try adding a new connection using "3internet" this solved my problem of being "filtered" by three.

I tried tethering and the same thing.
When you say 3internet, is that a seperate APN and what are all the settings?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with 3, since 17-09. No Google services are working, and 3 assured me, it is a Google issue. It is very annoying.

Create new apn settings with a name like "new three" just use APN as "3internet" leave the rest blank ie no password etc should work ok

Did you try to clear data of the market and the browser?
Settings>Applications>All apps>Browser>clear data
Settings>Applications>All apps>Market>clear data

Nice

[Q] URL access blocked?

I'm new to android and had a friend help me root my inspire 4g, flash a new rom and a new radio. everything works well except for surfing the web on the data network. Apps that pull data work over the network work, I can access my email and the browsers work on wifi. But when I'm on the data network alone, i get an error saying "Access to this URL has been blocked". What could cause this? is it a setting?
I've tried different browsers and many different websites and i get the same thing.
help please...thanks
Just to clarify, he is running Coredroid v3.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965207) with the recommended radio 26.04.02.17_M2
He also is using a SIM card that used to be in an iPhone, if that effects anything.
If he is using the stock APN, he will need to get on the HSPA+ data plan for it work correctly.
flashing coredroid does nothing with the APN correct? Howcome it worked before the root/rom then?

Actually, it very well may. APN's are stored in the ROM. It also could be that coredroid has a hosts file that is causing the problem, redirecting to localhost. I haven't tried it so I can't say either way.
What APN is listed in the settings?
it seems to be wap.cingular. does that sound right?
That is not the stock Inspire one, that is for non hspa + devices. It shouldn't cause any issues but it may. Search for a thread I started asking for the default stock apn.

i found some settings that someone said worked on that thread but they are the same as the one that my phone is currently using
wont let me copy them to here cause i havent posted enough
I seem to have fixed it. i found the stock apn settings for the inspire and made a new apn with them and it's working. it's slow cause im on the EDGE network up here in erie pa but whatever...it works! thanks guys

Default browser wants Internet connection. But I have one...

Good evening.
I have a little problem with the default browser. Whenever I start the Browser, he wants a WiFi connection or a mobile data connection. The WiFi connection is still there, still get the message. But if I push the message away the internet works wonderfully.
Any ideas?
ROM: Revolution HD 3.0.3
Thanks.

[Q] Help, (Galaxy R) Apps don't work with WiFi, but work fine on 3G/GPRS

Hello,
I was in a different city for a few days.
During the time, I used 3G / Edge for apps / mail.
When I got back, I realised that none of my apps were working with Wifi.
Market was showing "No Connection - Retry"
Mail app showed "connot connect to server"
Tapa talk showed "connection error"
Youtube showed "connection error"
And so on with some other apps (Tunein radio etc)
However, only Web Brower works fine with WiFi
Also, all apps work flawlessly with 3G.
I also noticed, that once I started a download using 3G, & switched to Wifi afterwards, the download completed perfectly with WiFi.
I have a Micromax A70 (Android 2.2.1) & a Galaxy Tab P1000 (android 2.2).
They work fine with the same WiFi connection, so I guess its not a WiFi/Router/ISP issue.
So can any one help with this issue ?
I searched several forums/googled, but got no definite solutions
I tried stopping & clearing cache /data of market app, as well as google framework, but this did not work.
Other Info:
My phone is rooted, CWM installed, using steps found in this forum.
Thanks!!
Use Static IP ?
Ace-ing all tests.
Hi,
1. How to use static IP?
2. Why is a static IP needed. I didn't need it until I left town. My other devices work fine without static IP. Also, I use my phone's Wifi in 4 different locations so a static IP may not be wise. Now it does not work with any Wifi location. Again I repeat Web browser works fine with WiFi.
Friends, please read the question completely, before replying ... no offence meant ... I appreciate your replies.
Thanks!

You could try reflashing the latest stock ROM available for your country, it is probably because of some software bug in the system/system app's settings.
Do update here on the progress.
Hello,
I am using the stock ROM that came with my phone.
I had rooted the phone as described earlier.
I had installed GO launcher.
Anyways I backed up all my apps n data and reinstalled the CWM backed up ROM.
Now all is well again.
I an sending this post from my phone using wifi.
Im still curious why this happened.
thanks!

Nice to know your R is working again.
It was probably a software bug which was removed when you restored from the backup.
I think you might have set up proxy
From the strange behavior, i can only think of one reason:
Since proxy works only for browsers on android and that too only for WIFI networks, I suppose that is the case. If accessing your wifi network requires a proxy, then you cannot do much about the problem AFAIK. Otherwise, you can go to wifi setting ->tap menu ->click Advanced and clear the proxy and the port.

I don't know much about wifi, but my R is fine now after reflashinb.
I'll keep this in mind should the problem re-occur!

[Fixed] GPS data loss, free WiFi tether

For those of you that noticed that while using google navigation you get data loss and also when you try to tether your data you get that annoying T-Mobile message about buying the service through T-Mobile I found a solution
Simply add a APN epc.tmobile.com and select it this fixes both issues
Name whatever
APN epc.tmobile.com
Leave the rest alone

Tested it out and it works for me. The wifi that is; I hadn't noticed issues with nav.
This seems odd to me though; if both APN's are seemingly set to the same settings, why does the stock one route through the upsell page, but the created one doesn't? I suppose it is hiding some setting from us originally?

Interesting. This is the same APN already listed and selected by default on my phone. Do I add it again and select as described above to fix the inability to Tether WIFI problem?

Yeah, you just add it again and select it and everything goes fine.
I read something today about T-Mobile is "going to start charging for tethering" which as far as I know is something they always have done, so I don't know if this means they will be angrily seeking out people who tether/hotspot like this, but it's not stopping me, that's for sure.
Good find. Thanks. Working Flawlessly on my tmous one s.
Works
Its amazing that they set that up like that But has anyone done this workaround and still get contacted by t-mobile after the fact? or does it just function on correctly
I tried the workaround and using Chrome and IE browser I get the tmobile page.
When I try firefox it works and NO tmobile page.
I have used this work around to tether to my Touchpad and it works flawlessly. Thanks for finding this.

Nice find but i dont think it should be in the dev section, it should be moved to general.
Works great for me. I suspect the issue is with the APN type in the default APN's. The "hipri" isn't found in any other device that I've come across. Also guys, make sure in your custom APN you fill in the MMSC or your picture messaging won't work. You should use:
http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Best Workaround. EVER.

Just tested the APN thing again on my One S and don't work for me and also tried on Galaxy S 3 and it would not let me leave the apn type blank.
When reopened would automatically put in default mms admin

it should work on the One S, but after the update it doesn't seem to work for me. You cannot do the same trick with the GS3. I think the only way to tether with that phone is to root it and freeze the t-mobile tethering manager.
Im on CM10 atm on my HTC one S, tried different radios, different kernels and different roms and changing the APN doesnt let me use my psvita through hotspot, it wont connect to the youtube app or anything like that, cant play cod multiplayer either >.< I used all of these features when I had the 5gb+ tether plan, then I saw that there was a "workaround" and decided to get the unlimited plan, but I cant get it working. 5gb isnt enough for me since I am always on the move and have pandora on, maps, youtube, netflix and other stuff.

Certain Websites work on 3g but not on wifi?

Hi All,
I am new to these forums and to android, but have searched this fault no end, and have still not been able to solve this fault. So am looking for some help and advice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 sim free on uk 3 network and started to notice that a lot of links I was clicking from twitter etc were not loading, or I would just get a page not found message like the ones you get when there is a genuine incorrect link posted, an example of this was links from Forbes website.
I then noticed though, if I switch wifi off and it connects to cellular data the same links work first time?
The strange this is on wifi, all my apps etc update fine, and even if I open up samsung browser and go to lots of sites, they all work, it is just a few that dont.
One I definitely know that doesnt work is newsnow co uk whenever I am on wifi and try to connect it says page cannot be displayed, but works on 3g
Some sites I have read say it is linked to proxy settings?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Gims
Sounds like your wifi dns settings. Could be your device, router, or isp. If you can connect to those sites using a laptop or computer on the same wifi then it is the device settings. You might want to check out setDNS in the Play Store.
Sent from my SHV-E300K
Yeah I can access using my wifes phone and laptops etc
I will look into DNS setting on S4
Thanks
Is setDNS for rooted phones? Mine is not rooted
I have the same issue. And I don't think is a problem with router or modem. Definitely a phones problem. It happens at home and at my work.
And it's temporary. If you disable wifi and turn it on again it works.
