Major problems, Browser "Web Page Not Available"

I'm updating this thread because I have even more problems.
I was able to grab a different Micro SDHC card this morning and I re-flashed the SuperD 1.11 ROM on the phone. It went fine and I tested the browser first thing. It hung for about 30 seconds, then loaded my home page. I thought I'd solved the problem finally, but I'm back to a non-functioning browser. The browser app opens, the progress bar starts, and then nothing. Web pages simply won't load. I have data up and down with the apps, text messaging works, phone calls work fine, just a dead browser.
One more new problem, maybe related. When I reboot, the widgets on my home screen sometimes fail to load. It's intermittent, not on every boot. I get the "Problem loading widget" error in each one's place. I can drag them to the trash and re-add them and they work fine.
I re-added all my apps directly from the market this time, re-downloading and reinstalling them on the clean install with the new SD card. I did a Nandroid backup after first running each app once to make sure everything was working. When the browser failed again, I did a Nandroid restore from recovery. It took about 20 minutes (don't think that's normal) and then when I rebooted I still have the browser failure. If I've uploaded correctly there's a pic of a very slow restore in progress.
At this point, I have to consider giving up. I would really like to have this phone working well again, and maybe donate it to someone locally. I have ordered another phone (HTC Desire) since it was about time for an upgrade, but I really want to solve this and fix the problem Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Below is my original post, with what I had tried so far.
Thanks - Tom
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having major problems with the stock browser the last couple of days. I can't get any web pages to load.
I have data up and down no problem, over 2G, 3G and WiFi. My APN settings are correct, I've checked them repeatedly. Market, widgets, apps all connect great. In the search widget I even get the search suggestions as I type.
I had been using the stable Cyanogen builds for months now, with little trouble. This is a new problem for me.
I've cleared the browser cookies, cache, etc from within the browser settings. I also cleared the data from Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Browser.
I'm experiencing this problem on more than one ROM. I tried the Cyanogen 5.0.7 test3 and gave up trying to make it work. (browser + USB mounting wouldn't work for me with Cyanogen) I am now on my second install of SuperD 1.11, same problem with the browser. I even went all the way back and re-rooted and re-flashed everything from the DREAIMG.nbh through to the Haykuro SPL, Radios, Amon-RA recovery v1.6.2 and SuperD again. I did that twice the last two days.
I've wiped the SD card and re-partitioned it correctly repeatedly while troubleshooting each ROM install. I'm using GParted w/Ubuntu 9.10 if that's important.
I've tried leaving the apps on the phone's memory, and with appstoSD, same thing.
I've tried both recommended radios (2_22_19_26I & 2_22_23_02), each radio tried on each ROM.
Tried fix_permissions from both terminal emulator and recovery console, I get "Permission denied" on each line, looping endlessly with the same error when it gets to com.google.android.server.checkin, and I cancel out of it.
Honestly, I'm a bit of a noob and I can't believe I haven't bricked this thing yet. There is a ton of good info on the wikis and many how-tos I have read and searched. At this point I am out of ideas and don't have a clue what to do next. I may be missing something basic here, but I can't find it. I have great backups of everything and so I don't mind all the flashing and reinstalling. I just want to have a functioning browser. Any suggestions?
tl;dr Ahhhhhhhhh! Browser no good?! Why?
On the bright side, I'm learning so much now with all this troubleshooting...

I installed Opera and Dolphin browser just to see what would happen. Dolphin failed exactly the same way, but Opera is working fine. I'll make it the default browser and just go from there. Too bad about the stock browser, huh?
Anyone.....Bueller......Bueller?

I'm also having problems with the stock browser on Cyanogen 5.0.7 based roms (tried test 1/2 and Superbad1.2.1). Browsing works sometimes on 3G but almost never on wifi. Other programs and widgets can connect just fine on both 3G and wifi. So I went back to a nandroid backup of Vegas Legend and 3G and wifi browsing works just fine. So I thought what about other Eclair roms and flashed Kings Eclair 1.9. Here it also works as it suppose to.So now I'll try test 4 or a rom based of it, wish me luck! I'll let you know if I manage to get it to work...

Good luck Enberg,
My problem spans multiple re-formats of the card and different ROMs. Cyanogen's 5.0.7 and SuperD 1.11 both. The problem can't be with their ROMs, since they are working for others. There is something wrong with this phone, or I am doing something wrong, I don't know. I fail to understand how a problem like this could persist between installs, re-rooting, changing SD cards, etc. I'm totally baffled. Everything but the browser works. The Opera Mini browser is my only option for browsing, and I just figured that out yesterday while troubleshooting.
I try the browser on 3G, WiFi, even tried a neighbor's open WiFi to see if my router was somehow the root of the problem. No luck.
My new HTC Desire is shipping today so I will just let this go and trash the G1 in a few days. It's too bad because I really like it still and ran different ROMs/themes, etc with no issues like this. Time to move on.

Solved it! After numerous reboots and reflashing I remebered that old Hero ports usually required that you on first boot skipped all accounts setup etc and once you got to the start screen immediately start market. Then setup a google account and accept EULA for market. If this was not done market would not function. So by old habit this is what I always do after flashing something new. Since my last post Ive tried at least many different rooms (eclair without sense like CM5, ZXK Eclair and Superbad...) this way with the same result, none working stock browser (also Dolphin and Skyfire none working) on wifi but market, email, Opera etc working. On 3G everything works including stock browser.
This time I wiped everything (as usual) and flashed SuperBadCM5 V1.2.4, skipped accounts setup at first boot and once I got to the start screen I started Wifi and then started the browser and it worked! Then I started market, setup google account and accepted EULA. Then I tested turning off wifi and starting it again and browser still works!
Dont know if this procedure was what fixed it or if I was just lucky. Anyhow, I'm going to leave my phone as it is now for a while not trying to push my luck! Hope this helps.

[Q] Browser no longer working...

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem. My browser is refusing to load pages... any pages. (i.e. www.google.com, xda-developers.com, etc.)
Nexus One (Google I/O One)
CyanogenMod-7.0.3-N1
I've tried the following:
Known working network connectivity via 3G.
Known working network connectivity via WiFi.
Cleared the cache for the Browser.
Cleared the data for the Browser.
Cold rebooted the device.
It's weird because I know I have network connectivity because other applications which depends on network connectivity (i.e. Google Market, Amazon App Store, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) works absolutely fine. And even weirder, applications which use WebViews works fine...
Not sure what else to do before I do a full-wipe and hard reset of my N1.
Anyone run into any similar issue? Everything else is running fine on the N1. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Kermee

Is it the same with other browsers (ex: dolphin)? If not then maybe you could just use those browsers

Yeah. I tried Firefox and it works. It's only the Browser.
I ended up doing a full wipe and reinstall of CM7 and gapps and restored and now the browser is working again. Very strange...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Kermee

[Q] "Web page not available" with almost every browser

Hello people!
I'm having a lot of difficulties trying to make my Galaxy S surfing on the net correctly... No matter what I do, I get 99% of the time this error message: "Web page not available". Sometimes it works, but very rarely. I'm using my home wifi connexion, and I tried every single browser I have: stock browser, Dolphin, xScope... only Opera Mini is working and loading pages normally.
I tried to load pages on MIUI, then on Simplicity, S.U.R.F.A.C.E. then Hybrid... nothing changes, still not able to load pages. I did a clean flashing of a stock JVQ with repartition and I finished with a hard reset after that... still nothing! One thing is that I'm able to load my router's configuration page (at 192.168.1.1). But I simply cannot connect to internet pages like Google, Facebook, Youtube, XDA etc...
I tried other devices on the same router and it's working fine: an iPhone, a Nokia phone, a laptop, a desktop. I tried another router, but nothing...

I have had the same problem, until I have updated my firmware
If you can't right now use Opera mini or Firefox portable. They use their own browser base, and should work fine

On normal data (3G) you can surf on these websites?
Whats about apps?
If you cannot connect through apps do the following:
Go to the setuppage of your router.
Type in your password and login.
Look for the WLAN settings.
Go to devices and look, if your device is in that list.
If yes:
Did you maybe block port 80 for your device?
If not:
Did you typed in the correct password?
Does your router accept new devices? (WLAN extended settings)
Report back
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I had a very similar problem where I could only load in sites in opera mini (i assumed it must be something to do with opera mini rerooting traffic through their servers or something) but skyfire, dolphin, stock, opera mobile all would not work. Apps all worked fine like whatsapp, viber, and so on. This happened after i accidentally used the sim toolkit on my phone and it sent "browser settings".
For me deleting and redoing my APN settings fixed it but that would only work if your problem was on 3g. Worth a try anyway.

Thanks for your quick answers

That's what I'm actually doing: I'm using Opera Mini. But it's not as good as other browsers such as Dolphin. I can do a firmware update, or downgrade even, if it is a firmware related issue. I'm actually on JVR.

We still do not have 3G in my country.
Other apps are working fine, they can connect and download data, not everytime but much more than browsers. For example, market would not immediatly download new apps, it takes sometimes 2 or 3 tries. Anyway, I think they're working fine.
I checked my router's configuration to see if port 80 was blocked for my Galaxy S, but it's not. Actually I set it on DMZ mode to see if it will work, but no result.
And I couldn't find something to allow new devices on my router. But I guess it's not a problem since anything I tried to connect to it before worked fine.

Anyway, thank you for your help

I tried to connect on another router, from another place, and it worked. I installed a DD-WRT firmware on the router on which I wasn't able to connect but nothing changed... could it be the router hardware itself? The strange thing is that everything else is working on it (iPhone, laptop, desktop, other phones...).

[Q] A couple of issues...

I have had my Tab for a while now and overall am well impressed with it. I have it rooted so that I can use What'sapp but apart from that it is totally stock.
The issues I am having are:
Firstly, when I go to Facebook through Browser sometimes it just hangs. I have tried to attach a picture of what I mean. I have tried clearing cache etc but still it hangs. The only way I have found to get it to work again is to turn my router off and back on. I don't think it is the router that is at fault as it only happens on my tab and not on any phones, laptops or Pc's in the house. Anyone any ideas??
Second issue is, Even though I have flash player installed and up to date some websites say that I need to install flash player to view this video/image.....
P.s. I have a 7310
Any help would be much appreciated....
Thanks in advance
Scotty

[Q] Weird WiFi issue

Out of the blue, 4 days ago, my phone stopped allowing Facebook, Instagram, and some websites including Google and Yahoo to open (at least using Dolphin Browser).
I have Comcast and nothing changed on that end, my 2 computes work fine, roommate's phone, tablet, computer, and PS4 work fine still.... But just my phone won't load pages in those apps or websites. I figured something got screwy with my ROM (BadBoyz Kit Kat) so I just fresh flashed their latest Sense 6 ROM and finally got all my apps reinstalled, and it's still doing the same thing. When I shut wifi off and connect through Sprint's slow ass 3g, the apps and browser load fine.
Any ideas??
