Guys, I have a bit of a strange problem.. i am using JF1.5 but my browser is not working... by that i mean it opens without a problem and shows the homepage ( www.google.com ) in a second but when i open anyother address it just says " web page not available- check your internet connection " but the strange thing is that when i open a link there is no network activity as if the browser aint even trying to connect to the network ....
Now i have installed opera mini and thats working just fine .... i.e opens every page quickly .... but opera is very hard and i dont like it at all .... and i want to use the built in browser...
Any Idea whats the problem ?
Thanks
the google home page you see is probably a cached version, it didn't actually download that page from the internet.
from your description, it seems to be a network state problem. the android system has its own way for detecting internet connections, it may report you're offline even if you're not. but the only two apps I know that uses this is browser and downloader. you have to check if your apn settings are complete. make sure you have the "proxy" field set.
I tried to mess with the apn settings but to no use .... Its really freaky ... every other browser works just fine .... and so does the market and google talk but the built in browser behaves as if there is no data connection .... is there a way i can uninstall it and reinstall it from somewhere somehow ?
Regards
I'm having the same exact problem. I upgraded my G1 and it worked fine but when I upgraded my girlfriends G1, the default browser doesn't work.
I will open up the browser and the page will show and then it just closes out and goes back to the desktop. I've tried to flash it again and there is no change.
Ok.
So I went into the application manager and cleared out everything and it still doesn't work.
Not sure what could be causing this because my phone flashed fine.

Recently my Opera Mobile has been dragging at start up. I cleaned up my cookies, cached, history and still slow. Anybody know why?
Also, try searching any image on google images and the browser goes crazy.

Turn off use http and use https in the proxy settings by opening opera:config
Cured most if not all the weird browsing errors for me.
I am sorry, I've had the phone for almost a week now and still dont know everything about it. How do I get there? Thanks.
in the url type opera:config erase the http://www.
Thanks, I checked that, and it seems to be working fine now.
Please someone help me!!!
The default Browser application on my Nexus one just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
Therefor I generally use Opera Mini to access the web and this works perfectly, it was only happen when I used the Dolphin Browser or Default browser and realised that both had the same issue.
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well.(Market,Gmail,Twitter,Youtube...) As I said above the Opera Mini browser works is the only browser that work for browsing internet
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files / Radios / Kernals ect..
And also im using Froyo from hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686593
Any ideas to get rid of this??????
I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you find a fix for it?
Same issue for me and its really pissing me off because Opera sucks as a browser!
Hi everyone,
Yesterday i had removed my original browser.apk on the samsung galaxy note. I did this because the only browser i wanted to use was dolphin.
After i had removed the original browser.apk and restarted the phone i cannot acces the internet anymore from any browser. Dolphin cannot load pages, i also tried to see what other browsers did, i installed firfox and opera and they both cannot acces the internet. I get a screen which looks like there is no internet connection, this occurs when using 3G and Wifi connection there is no difference. However with other apps like facebook and market i can still acces the internet so the connection is not the problem.
When i reinstall the original browser.apk will this fix the problem? If so can anyone please provide me with this apk file.....

Woah - that probably wasn't a good thing to do . Here's the standard browser apk pulled from /system/app. Good luck!
Classic newbie mistake. DO NOT REMOVE SYSTEM APPS. Either rename them or move then to a different location. The browser is an integrated part of the O/S, you need it on the device for any internet enabled application.
Thanks to both of you for this browser.apk file!
I've copied it to my phone in the system/app directory. Than i installed it, however at the end of the installation the wizard said 'application not installed' the only thing that i could do was press 'done'
It tells me that the application is not installed but i can see it in my list of apps now. But i can still not connect to web pages. When i start the browser it goes fine but when the browser connects to a web page it still tells me that there is no connection.
to be clear I have not removed the odex file. Has anyone got an idea what i'm missing??
Please forget about this - my mistake
I had to allow the browser to connect again to the internet in the droidwall settings.
Thanks for the browser file!

You don't install APKs that you push/copy to /system/app - the very act of putting them there means they are installed.
If you really don't want to use the stock browser, try freezing it and see if that has any effect on internet access from other browsers.

I'm not sure sbout all that above. The reason is that I always remove the browser.apk and I'm yet to see any negative impact. I've been doing that on my old desire and now on note and suffered no problems whatsoever. I substitute Xscope and recently Boat Browser Mini and it's all good.
push the apk to system/app folder in your phone's root folder using root explorer.Then restart your phone and clear the data if any in settings/manage application.This will solve your problem.
I have a slight problem which I can't fix. Whenever I open dolphin browser hd the Google homepage opens up even though I have the homepage set as new tab. Also Google will randomly open on a new tab while I am browsing on another tab. I tried changing all various settings and it didn't fix it. I even tried downloading Firefox and that worked fine until when I closed and then opened it again it came up with the Google homepage!
I have no idea what the problem could be. I need help please!

Sounds like you have a dns virus in your router.
Hi all,
So today the mobile data of my dad's s3 mini started to act weird.
He can access facebook, and some other apps while in data ( the apps are installed through play store... )but the youtube app, or accessing youtube, facebook, google or any other site on the internet browser is impossible.
He can use about 1GB of data and it resets every month, but he only used 600MB over the last 3 months so that can't be the problem.
I tried googling it but haven't seen anything that helped me.
Is there any fix for this, if yes, then please tell me i don't have to put it in default settings
Thanks in advance

EDIT: Okay so if you happen to have this problem follow these steps:
Go to your menu and press settings.
Then go to mobile networks, located under the connectivity tab
Now there are some options, one of them is called "access point names", click that
Then you got 1 or more circles which you can check, see which one has a green dot in it, for me it was the first, keep that one in mind
Now hit the menu button and choose "reset to default settings", this will set everything back to default, obviously .
Now choose the circle again which you kept in mind, enable data and ur done!
He just told me that some stuff happened in his pocket but doesnt know what
Also fyi, its on stock, not rooted, not unlocked... Pure stock
Aight I fixed it, see the first post for the fix
