I've had this issue with my Nexus S on CM7 for a while now (well I've only had the phone for about a month) but only recently realized it was probably Android or my phone that was the problem.
What happens is I'll be browsing web sites whether it be in the stock browser or Dolphin HD and internet just stops responding. I would open 2-3 sites and after that, nothing else would load. The green loading bar would go about 1/8th of the way and just stops. Eventually, it typically starts working again later on as I usually just give up and go on with my day.
I always figured it was my providers data connection being unreliable but the other day, I set it to wifi and it did the same thing. I would even load the same sites in my iPhone4 side by side with my Nexus S and the iPhone would load the sites just fine while the Nexus just seems stuck.
These other threads seem to have the same issue without being resolved

I rooted and installed CM7 pretty much as soon as I got the phone so it's hard to say whether the issue is with this ROM or what exactly. I also use the TEUV-Trinity kernel by morfic.
I realize this is a fairly broad issue. Was wondering if anyone else as experienced this and if you could help pinpoint the issue, that would be great.
I'll also add that shutting down and removing the battery for a few minutes seems to fix the problem for a while. Browsing is nice and quick afterwards.
Thanks

Anyone else experiencing an issue where IE will not load pages after the phone has been on and connected for a while?
With WM6, device stability has increased such that I rarely soft reset. But with this I now get an occasional become more frequent incidences where I acts like it's loading the page then finishes with a blank page. Restarting IE (ending process) does not affect. The solutions are cycle radio (off/on) or soft reset.
I have no trouble during these times using other internet capable applications such as GOOD, Opera mini, Google maps, etc. - just IE seems to be affected.
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this and who might have some ideas as to what is happening...
TIA
corroborated
I too just started experiencing this today for the first time, after having had the device for about three weeks. Haven't reset yet...
GI
edit: I just now turned off the radio, forcing ie to re-connect, and pages are loading. NB: device had been running about 72 hours since last soft-reset.
Sorry to have this confirmation, but good to know I'm not alone.
More details: I have tried several WM6 ROMs and no appreciable affect on this issue - it happens with all of them. I'm currently running the 223 ROW with the extended rom hack and provider apps deleted. Possibly it is something in the provider bloat that helps this? That would be a first, but I have not left the provider stuff on since I started loading WM6 ROMs. And I can't remember now if it was happening with the OEM WM5.
Anyone with WM6 and still using the provider apps having this issue?
TIA
Same Problem here..
Yahoo Go! and other programs connect and work fine. Opera loads like normal. But when i try to access a page with internet explorer it looks like its downloading the images (progress bar moves) then it just stops and shows a blank white page. This started when i updated to the new mobile 6 rom from htc. Now when im connected using wifi internet expolorer loads pages fine. Im stumped I hope someone finds a fix for this as its driving me nuts.
Anyone else having wifi problems after updating? I didn;t have problems before, but it seems that after 3.2, my wifi stops every couple of minutes or something like that. I don't know if it's my own wirelss's problem, so when I get back on campus, I'll attempt downloading and seeing if it gets interrupted again.
Yep I'm having the same problem. Keeps kicking me out of my PocketCloud remote. Thought it might just be me. I've noticed the Wifi symbol stays grey a lot when it used to stay blue. It's not my network, the only change was the update to 3.2.
Yeah... it's grey and it keeps disconnecting me while I try to download an episode..
(stock 3.2)

I got kicked out of my home Wifi several times last night after updating to 3.2. I didn't have this issue on 3.1. What a total disappointment...
WiFi with 8.4.4.11
Did you install 8.4.4.11 before installing 3.2?
My tablet came back from RMA with firmware .11 installed, but before 3.2 came out. I noticed similar behavior with the WiFi. In my case it never found any networks (I'm guess some wire got messed up when they fixed the power button issue). However, when on the WiFi page in settings normally it says "scanning" under WiFi when looking for a network. On mine it would say "scanning" for a second and then it would go away, then it would say "scanning" again, then disappear, etc. Maybe there is an issue with the WiFi driver?
I'm hopeing the tablet will be back next week (it was in repair status yesterday). The first time I sent it in it came back with a pretty good description of what they did to fix it (its just a bummer they broke it at the same time).

What are you Wifi setting, especially the disconnect settings? It could be that the update changed the settings.
Hmm, I checked it because I saw another thread saying something similar, but it was still marked as "disconnect when screen is closed." I also tried unchecking it and rechecking it, then turning wifi on and back off to see if it would fix it. (It didn't!)
Well, I'm hoping it will be fixed by Asus sometime soon, but it's not too big a problem at the moment since I don't HAVE to watch those episodes. :/
Mine is set to never disconnect. Even tried changing to a different setting and back.
Confirmed. Had this happen since the .11 update.
I may try a wipe and restore. Considering going ahead and rooting if it comes down to swiping. Anyone tried either?
yeah I might as well root if i have to reset everything...
Yes, same problem...disconnecting for about ten seconds every two minutes or so. Makes listening to radio quite impossible...
Have done resets and changing wi-fi channel to 9, doesn't help.
I've noticed this, but it hasn't happened very frequently. For me, it seems to happen mostly during when I had the screen off (which I had setup to disconnect whenever the screen is off). I recently just changed it to never disconnect, and I haven't seen it happen in the past 10 minutes or so, but that could just be me.
I do agree though, it seems as if there is some kind of bug here as well.
I had a similar problem before 3.2 ...i fixed it the day before the update. I forced my router to not be bonded to a channel and set it to auto.
Youtube constant buffering was fixed.. now it downloads the videos quickly and no buffing after the first time.
Also my apps like CNN that have alot of visual pictures in the main menu load up instantly and downloads are lighting quick. No interruptions, re-downloads or anything. Even when apps are updating..Games like Dungeon defenders that has alot of initial downloads pulls the data without stopping.
I suffered from disconnections before i set the router to Auto and choose a channel on its own.
No issue here.

That is exactly what mine is doing. Has anyone contacted Asus?
I think I have a fix. I tried the old assign it a static IP on the TF itself. Icon stayed blue for over 5 mins without turing grey. I'll have to check my PocketCloud tomorrow and confirm the fix.
I've been having the same issue...... every few minutes it says no connection. It also seems like I have fewer bars on my wifi signal icon too.... hope a fix is found soon because it's frustrating.
Well, I tried it on campus, same thing, disconnects within a download of an episode.. (like 4-5 minutes??). Oh no! I'll never get to finish Triumph in the Skies..
It happens to me too. It is quite frustrating.
I have already tried to assign a static IP but with no success.
So for the past 10 days or so, my Focus has really hit the dump and hasn't let me see not even 10 seconds of video on 3G (Full signal btw), can't stream music from MetroRadio, Last.FM for more than 10-15 seconds, and take a really long time to load websites.
It worked fine before, plenty good infact. I would hit 2-5 mbps on a good day. Lately though, nothing I do about it fixes the problem.
I have called AT&T about 3 times, when today, finally decided to visit a Warranty Center of theirs in San Antonio, TX, which is 4 hours from here. We don't have one locally, so I have to drive to another city.
Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with the Focus? Does it have poor radio cells? Voice and text works perfectly good, just data.
AT&T themselves have reset their network around me, nothing has changed.
They reset my phone about 2-3 times, nothing has changed.
They replaced my SIM card, nothing has changed.
Anyone experiencing a problem or suggest anything? I really would like everything to be working again.
For references if anyone is curious, I'm hitting 0.30-0.60 mbps. Slower than EDGE, which is unacceptable!
Anyone? Really would appreciate the help, please.
Have you tried messing around with the diagnosis menu? If you haven't, it's worth a shot.
Install the diagnosis app by typing in ##634# into the phone keypad. Then, open up the diagnosis app and enter in *#32489#. Hit the back button (on screen, not hardware back button) until you see the option 8 that says phone control. From this screen, press 8,3,5,2,3,[END]. Then restart. If you couldn't follow these instructions, here is the original post. You can also try the dual mode detailed in that same post. Good luck!
Yes, I have tried all the diagnostic codes I could find to fix, but nothing has changed. I have also done all types of resets, (Soft, Hard, Full, Flash original stock rom) but nothing has changed..
My only other guess would be that you got throttled by ATT due to high data usage. My brother was throttled and began getting around 0.5 down. However, you said that you have tried working with ATT on the problem so that can't be it..
I have had 3g slowness too the past month or so. I have tried using the device codes to change the speed of the 3g and that seemed to help a bit. But the odd thing i notice alot is that if I plugin my headphones it sometimes gets very slow after that to the point that I can barely text message or receive emails. At that point i have to reboot the phone and then the speed goes back to normal.
If your phone is slow, try rebooting it and see if that fixes your speed.
Hello,
I am on T-Mobile on an Android phone and I've noticed that, at random times, downloading via 3G stops working. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or whether it is just me.
For example, it happens when I am using the browser. I'll go to a page and the page will be continuously loading. At the top notification bar, I see a constant up arrow signifying that some data is being sent, but no down arrow. After 1 minute or so, the page fails to load. If I wait a while, downloading returns to normal and I can then load the page.
Am I going crazy? Or is this normal with 3G or normal with T-Mobile?

I get the same thing on my Note. Occasionally it will just 'hang' while downloading or browsing. Refreshing a Facebook feed seems to be the biggest culprit for me.
It's generally a sign of a possible issue with the radio. Flashing a new one may help, as may re-setting your APNs and starting over

Sorry for bumping up an old thread, as I didn't realize there were new replies to this thread. But, yes, I tend to also have troubles with refreshing a Facebook feed. I am positive that it's a T-Mobile problem, as I didn't seem to have issues on AT&T.
Yea as of late ive noticed terrible connections on tmobile. I currently get no service in my apartment and i live in a 4g zone. I use to have service and it seems to have dissapeared. Im currently making a short video of this bull**** and going to find a way to get out of my contract. Verizon will be my new home soon. Ive been with tmo since 2004 and ive seen the service grow to be fast and great and as of the past 3 months its turned into ****.

n0ob here!!
I have tried various ROMS include Kyrillos 10.6, 9.7.1 DutchMods v5,3 one problem that i came across on all roms was that when i connect my wifi my phone almost hangs up. It slows to a crawl and I cannot even switch screens etc. Usually I have to disconnected and reboot. I do have sync services on for google. I dont have alot of apps installed on the phone. The battery time for the past few months has degraded significantly. Since the wifi issue appears almost on all ROMs I have tried could there be a reason for this slow down ?
I am unable to use Facebook, linked in etc at all on the phone so i have not bothered installing them as if you open one of these it totally hangs the phone to a crawl as well, just thought these symptoms might point to a problem

I've recently found WiFi to be hopeless on our Apollo - despite the signal showing 4 bars I often get "No Connection" displayed - particularly when using the Play Store...
I'm wondering if the phone gets confused between the mobile data signal and the WiFi signal...when it should be using 100% WiFi..?
