Stock browser hangs - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone getting an issue where the stock browser will randomly intermittently stop loading webpages?
It doesn't crash but no pages will finish loading, with blue bar stuck halfway.
Reboot fixes it, killing process doesn't.
100% sure its not the network because no other devices are affected. Also chrome is fine.
I've had to use chrome instead but I prefer stock!

I've noticed a few hangs with the stock browser when using 3G connection.
Seems to be the actual data connection and not the actual browser though, as when I use the tab as a wired dongle to hook my netbook up to 3G I also seem to get intermittent and unpredictable hangs. Usually if I wait, the connection will return after a couple of minutes.
Often, doing an 'ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew on the PC will restore the network connection immediately. Also disconnecting from packet data and reconnecting from the config menu on the tab fixes it quickly.

[Q] HTC Aria 2.2 - Internet Connection Problems if WiFi and 3G are On

I'm having a problem that I can't seem to find a solution to anywhere.
I have an HTC Aria running 2.2 (I didn't do the OTA update. I flashed it myself) which is giving me connection problems if both WiFi and 3G are active at the same time. It only started happening after I updated from 2.1 to 2.2.
WiFi off, 3G on: I can use the web browser and all my apps that require internet access without a problem
WiFi on (and connected), 3G off (Airplane Mode) Same thing. No problems.
WiFi on (and Connected), 3G on: All of a sudden, I can only access the internet from certain apps. The Facebook app works fine as does the HTC Weather widget and shopkick. However, the web browser just hangs without loading pages, xkcdViewer throws me an error saying it can't connect to the server and the TD Bank app doesn't load.
I've been playing around with different settings and nothing seems to work. I found a temporary solution by going to Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and resetting those to default, though that only lasted for about 10 minutes before the problem started again.
Also, when I was running on 2.1 the Market would always force the use of my 3G connection even if I was connected to a WiFi network. The only way to bypass this would be to put the phone into Airplane Mode and then turn WiFi back on. Now, on 2.2, the Market forces 3G, but only for a couple of seconds then switches back to WiFi, but I've noticed that sometimes the 3G connection remains active even after closing the Market.
Any suggestions? Was it just a bad flash of the ROM?
I seem to have fixed it.
I turned off my phone, removed the SIM card and booted it up. I connected to my WiFi and used the phone normally for a couple minutes. Then I turned it off again, replaced the SIM card and rebooted.
It seems to be working fine now. Hopefully it stays that way.

Internet Connectivity issue after 3.1 update

Anyone else having issues with internet connectivity after the 3.1 update? None of the other devices on my network are having any sort of issues. I've already tried to remove my router and readd it again but no dice. Sometimes I need to refresh webpages 3-4 times before they come up, and simple websites too.....like Google.
edit: I see the icons on the WiFi icon blinking......but webpages aren't loading. Tested the YouTube app and videos take forever to load. Also tested in DolphinHD and Opera and they're having connectivity issues also.
no problem for me. Do a cold reboot

Yeh, I tried that too. I guess I'll see if the problem goes away in the next day or so, otherwise I'll go find some instructions on restoring the machine to default. Good thing i've been too lazy to load all my apps and data on this puppy lol....too lazy and busy just playing with the damn thing lol.
No problem here. I just update about 2 hours ago. WiFi has been online w/o interruptions.
My problem is that it wont see all wifi networks available! ? e.g I know at the office there are 2 wifi routers to connect too, it will see one but not the other and the one it sees it won't connect too?!
Ideas anyone?
Plus there is no option for setting a static ip with 3.1
Just a thought, I am sure I saw that the TF cannot detect WiFi channel 13. Is there a chance that those office routers use channel 13?
I had a problem connecting to my router. I just went into the network settings and "forgot" my network. Waited a minute and the transformer detected it and connected fine.
Same here: after a few hours, the wifi activity icon blinks merrily away, but zero actual connectivity!
I had to switch to airplane mode and back again for it to work.
Sadly, it's already happened twice since this the 3.1 update earlier today!!!
haha so I'm not the only one and I'm not crazy after all!
I'm getting an issue where the wifi indicator turns white but the arrows keep blinking. I have to log off then log back on for the indicator to turn blue and the data to start flowing. Pretty lame. All other phones, comps, and I pods are connecting to the router fine.

Wifi issues

I'm trying to connect to a Wifi network that's unprotected, but has a login page when you load the first page. After doing this, the Wifi will try to go to the next page, but it doesn't load, it still stays gray, and it disconnects. After trying to get into the Wifi settings again, it freezes and I have to reboot if I want to try the Wifi again. Anything I can do?
I'm on 2.3.6 stock rooted.
If the login/password is correct on a computer, you should try a different browser, preferably one with a desktop engine - firefox opera chrome all use their desktop core and should behave similar to their desktop counterparts.
I'm assuming here you are having problems with the web-based handshake and redirection. If your whole phone is freezing, u'll have to tell us more about the network...

[Q] Stock JB Non Root Relay Wifi issues

Ive been having major issues with my wifi on a stock non rooted JB stock firmware Relay.
Wifi was working fine for the longest time. Recently my wpa2 home network wont connect. I keep seeing "wifi authentication error" every time I try to connect. I did a cache wipe, and when I do, it works for a day or so and then goes back to the same issue
Now Im having problems getting any data from wifi, wether its an open network or WPA. It just shows that its connected, the little arrows on the signal meter light up but no data actually gets transferred.
I did a battery pull and it seemed to fix it temporarily, but seems like the issue comes back
Any help??

Wifi limited connection and other issues

Just about the phone and went straight into update while setting up. Everything downloaded fine, update apps etc. Seemed to be doing more updates in the background. Had a few random power offs that I had to plug it in for and would show 0% at 1% I would turn on and it would go back to 100% instantly. A few touch screen issues that seem to have gotten slightly better
Now my big problem I use my phone strictly on wifi but now all wifi connections are showing up as 'limited connection' the issues is the phone not the wifi. I have it on every wifi I've tried and my laptop has no issues with them. I'm trying to avoid a factory reset just to end up with the same issue
Thanks
