Been thinking about getting a Touch Pro but my buddy has a Fuze and it won't show web pages in Opera or IE. It gives an error exactly like what this guy is experiencing, http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2214127/HTC+Fuze+Internet+fails+6-12+hours+after+soft+reset?t=anon
I went to the AT&T store and both of the display models do the same thing. Went to the Sprint store and there display model does the same thing! The Touch Diamond sitting next to the Touch Pro at the Sprint store worked just fine. I tried the trick that apparently worked for some people in that thread on my buddies phone of holding down the hangup/disconnect button for 3+ seconds, the little colorful spinny ball comes on screen and then goes away but still can't get to the internet, same error. Same thing with the phone in the Sprint store.
What gives? How can all these TPs be having this problem but few others are complaining about it?
I dont know whats wrong with all of the Touch Pros you have used but mine is great... always shows any webpage the only complaint is the pages take a few seconds to render when you scroll
yeah mine works great and has since the beginning he probably hasnt set up his data correctly and usually display models dont do anything
never had a problem on mine. and i use opera, ie, opera mini, skyfire, iris
Yes, I have the same problem! After 16+ hours, email/weather in TF3D etc. are all working but browsers/google maps cannot access internet.
I have to switch off/on my data and everything starts working again.
I have AT&T Fuze with stock rom and radio.
Another thing, whenever I restart my phone, it asks for the password to connect to media.net, I have leave it blank, check save password and hit ok everytime.

no, these are fully working phones, not just the dummy phones, the Samsung next to one of them at the AT&T store worked fine, the Blackberry next to the other one worked fine, but both Fuzes couldn't load webpages but otherwise worked, like I could launch apps and everything. The guys at the AT&T store couldn't figure out why it wasn't working either, said something about his manager had to call tech support to get it working since it was a store phone and he wasn't authorized to call tech support for it.
and like I said at the sprint store the diamond sitting next to the touch pro worked just fine but the touch pro coudlnt' get to webpages.
My buddies phone I think works for e-mail, think he has exchange setup.

how do you switch it off an one?
I've never had a problem with it. Full web pages using opera. But I don't use my phone for that very often. If I want to get on the web I just tether, it's faster and easier.

You can go to settings, communications, and then switch off data connection. Or Start-menu, settings, network, wireless manager.

did you actually try making a phone call with it to see if the phone was active? seems like a stupid question but might be a simple solution...

yes, phone also works fine, apart from mail/sms etc. It is just the browsers and the apps that cannot connect.
Did you try disable or enable hidden proxy? I've been having a weird problem with a custom ROM that I made and after a hard reset I have to use one or the other to get the internet to work again.

shannanigans?
I have worked in a couple ATT stores, and been in LOTS of cell phone stores (tmobile, verizon, sprint), and I have never seen a display model that had service. Most of them are not even real phones....

my buddies phone definitely works for making calls, and works for e-mail but browser is a no go.

all the other phones in the Sprint and AT&T stores are real phones and work fine, I went to the internet on the HTC Touch Diamond sitting two feet away and a Samsung Instinct accross the store at Sprint, and went to the web on a Motorla (or something) phone sitting next to the Fuze at the AT&T store. Best Buy has fake phones out so obviously couldn't check there.

how do I do that? I tried to click disable on the proxy in opera:config but it seems to autoenable it's self again.
I have this problem, too! I thought it was just my account on AT&T that has this problem (my MeidaNet page also does not work) but it might be a bigger problem in AT&Ts network. It isn't just the FUZE that does this, my Tilt did it, too. I do not remember if my Black Jack did or not.
This happens to me EXACTLY when my data connection time goes over 24 hours. I have to close my data connection to fix it. Not a HUGE issue, but would be nice if it was resolved. I think default end key hold behavior is to end the data connection, so that's why it works.
If my data connection sits idle for too long something like that happens occasionally for me...
but nothing a quick 'disable/enable data' cant fix.
I also dont use stock roms, I had the Fuze stock ROM for 2 days before i flashed it (wanted to do my research on flashing before I did it, also wanted a 'control' for when i swapped phones)
ive owned this phone now for a few months and while i think its great it sometimes is just a massive pain in the arse.
i need some advice as technically im pretty good but i have to get my head round the problem 1st.
1- ive just decided that i want to use my home router as internet access on my phone so ive set up the connection, which the phone finds, entered the encription key and i get the little wifi icon on the top of the screen. all good......
but when i connect to a website the data connection (orange) appears as well. is there a setting to use one or the other?
2- adobe flash player. a right pain the backside. many sites including youtube require new updates of the player but when i click on the download and get the status bar it seems to freeze. and when it looks like it finishes (rarely) i get the same message on screen that i need to download the latest version!
3- automatic connection. still not sure if my provider charges me for constant connection. whether it is downloading data constantly or not but it seems strange that the phone, although there is nothing running in task manager will connect itself. ive woken up in the morning to find its been connected for 10 hours! is it updating? if it needs to connect why cant it disconnect itself?
4- the irritating freeze. mostly if its been on all night doing nothing. then i unlock it (without passcode as this seems to make it worse) it freezes. then needs a hard reset to function again
apologies for the rant and long 1st post but i really dont want this nice phone ending up like the last and being thrown about as it doesnt work as well as it should.
many thanks
Hi Friend, try HTC's website they have several hotfixes for your phone (some reason only available on europe portal but might point you in right direction.
h***://***.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
As for using phone as modem I only recommend if BROWSING web only, not downloading, as yes it has DSL speed but it is ILLEGAL on all phone plans and they will cut you off after a limit (normally 10GB) and then they give a call and ask "Whatcha doing?" so only use as back-up browsing only.
Hi All, I have a question I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with.
I have a Nexus S i9020A running CM 7.0.2 on AT&T. I've noticed something strange lately and can't quite pinpoint the problem.
I'm running a server at my house with a no-ip address to access my tv show downloads. I'm able to access this from the browser (any browser) while connected to wireless (in my network, or out) but only intermittently while on cellular data. When it isn't working it simply keeps trying to connect until it times out. I haven't yet recognized a pattern of when it works vs when it doesn't.
I thought for a bit it might be a DNS issue, but even with the straight IP address it won't load. Funny thing is, I'm still able to SSH into my router using ConnectBot, so I know the address is correct and the phone can see it. Other apps like RDP won't work either while I'm having this issue.
It's not the end of the world, but it sure is annoying. I'd like for it to work whenever I need it. Any ideas?! I'm stumped.
Thanks everybody!
Tim
I know nothing about networking, just so you know. It sounds like you know much more. I will offer a guess. With some other phones than the ns, sprint has multimedia proxies set for when you are on their network. Streaming music works on wifi but not cell. Use the msl to get into settings, ##data# is the code for sprint phones, and I forget what they are called but there's two proxy addresses and ports that need to be zeroed out then reboot in order to get streaming to work. This is probably not a solution for you but I thought I'd offer something since nobody else has chimed in yet for suggestions.
RS something or another. The other setting is always right next to the first one and generally at the bottom of the list of settings. It could be in advanced or multimedia. Different places for different phones. It would be wise to write down the default addresses and ports before changing them in case it doesn't work or breaks something. It usually doesn't though.
Hey herb, thanks for the response. I see what you're saying, but I don't think it applies here. I know I made it sound like I was streaming or downloading music through the phone...my mistake. What I actually meant was that I'm accessing a web site running from my house to control my home machine downloading music. It's nothing complicated, I'm just sure I'm explaining it terribly.
But, essentially it's just a regular old web page. It's just very strange that it would work wireless and not over cellular. They do run on funky ports, so that they're blocking or redirecting some stuff is very possible. Annoying...
Hi guys, hope i dont get someone angry with my problem.
Anyways, i got a Galaxy Tab P1000n as a present for my birthday some days ago, and in my country there's an operator (movistar) that offers 3g usb modems using gsm (sim cards), i already have one so i said given that the p1000n is unlocked i would pop the sim into the galaxy tab configure the APN and thats it.
But if only life were that easy, it seems my operator Movistar (also known as Telefonica) uses a captive portal, meaning that everytime it "connects" it opens a page where their 3g portal loads and one in which u got to press "navegar" to start browsing, also, if u dare to close the page it autodisconnect u (the page uses javascript, and connects to a server running tomcat it seems).
So when i put the sim into my galaxy tab, in order to connect to the 3g network i use the internet browser to allow myself in, but after some minutes the connection dies.
One because the browser (being it the native, dolphin HD or FF4) goes into sleep mode or something, forced by the OS, or because the script of the page is expecting Internet Explorer (if u check the code it's like looking for ALT-F4 to detect that the page was closed and so on).
So i dont know what to do, a friend told me to look for a way to keep the app (FF4 or Dolphin HD etc) Running always in the background, but doing so would be like having a service, and also disable the app for normal use, not counting that i'd have a mamoth of an app running just to use a page.
Another friend told me that maybe using linux commands and a script + cron would do the trick of autologin me to the network and keeping me on it.
And i sincerely dont know what approach to take, i've been looking online for something similar or someone with the same problem but i havent been able to find anything clear.
And i appeal to you guys cos u are extremely wise and i respect ur suggestions.
Hope u guys could help me, cos i have no choice about this, all the 3g services that the operator offers go thru this portal (at least those that are available to me i'm sure there are some fat cats or old cows who got old services without this).
Dear community, please help me. I'm going insane over this issue...
In my town there are several free & open WiFi spots to which you can connect without password. My problem is that this free WiFi is also within reach from my apartment and I want to make my phone & tablet to prefer my domestic closed&encrypted WiFi. I'm perfectly aware of the possibility to set WiFi-priorities. Problem is: those are only used when searching for a new connection. If my devices are connected to the public WiFi, they will never switch to my private one unless the connection breaks or I disable & enable WiFi in Android.
Right now, my rather silly "workaround" is to always delete the public WiFi from the list of known WiFis when I'm at home and re-add it when I go outside. But this procedure is getting quite annoying. I want Android to use this WiFi, just not when I'm at home...
I can't be the only one with this problem. Is there any way? Root and/or Xposed based solutions would be okay too....
I already tried the app "WiFi Prioritizer" from Google Play and it came pretty close to what I was looking for, unfortunately its background process was killing my battery.
What version of Android your phone and what the tablet has?
Στάλθηκε από το GT-I8190 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
Currently my Samsung i9100 runs AOSP NeatROM (Kitkat 4.4.4) and my Nexus 7 (2013) runs CleanROM (Lollipop 5.0.2).
It shouldn't matter though. I'm looking for some kind of universal solution that could work on any Android version... :-/
From what I have read and understood, your problem is that when you want to connect to a specific network (your home network) you can't because your device scans and connects to the '' free'' ones simply because you were connected to them before or you are still connected to one. From what I know and also have worked for me, is to simply tap on the network you want to connect each time(an analogue should pop up and ask whether to ''forget' the tapped network or to connect to it if you are already connected to another one.). Also I don't know if a module exists for this purpose on xposed framework.
Maybe there's another way to do it, but since I don't have bought the app (it's called IF BY IFTTT) I can't tell if it does or doesn't do what you want. What it does is that makes selected actions automatically by running in the background. I think that it can do almost ''anything'' (like to upload the latest photo you took from gallery to Instagram without your actions).
I hope I helped
No no, I can connect to my home network manually, that's not the problem.
My problem is that Android doesn't do it automatically, when it is within reach and the phone is still connected to another (the free) network.
What Android SCHOULD do is automatically drop the connection to the open Wifi, as soon as my higher priority home network is within reach.
I didn't said that you can't connect to your home network, I simply said that it doesn't seems to do it automatic. I have also prioritised my network preferences and still my phone doesn't connect to the first one if it is not disconnect from the other (by the way the two networks I have tried it to are my home ones). In conclusion in my opinion this option is where you want to connect first, not for changing the connection automatically based on the received signal(although it does if you completely lost the signal to the connected source). Probably in your case the free Wi-Fi is close enough to you and your phone or tablet doesn't disconnect from it which in my opinion is perfectly fine since my phone does exactly the same.
Oh sorry, maybe I misunderstood you before.
But yes, you summarized it completely correct. Only that this behavior is not perfectly fine for me, as I'm sick and tired of being connected to open, slow and unencrypted connection at home
I have the impression that Android's WiFi management is pretty bad
You can try the app that I mentioned earlier but I am not sure if will do what you want. I suggest get in touch with the developer and ask him. I am happy I helped.
PS.1 If I helped don't forget to use the thanks button as it helps me and lets community know that I have contributed.
PS.2 I don't take credit for the app, I just suggest it because I think it may work.
Have fun
Thanks for your help, I will try the app later today, it sure looks interesting. My only fear is that it will be a battery killer.
EDIT: This app didn't really do the trick for my needs... I'm back to always deleting the open WiFi out of the list of known WiFis... Too bad that there doesn't seem to be a good way to do what I need
