Hello guys!
Since long time ago I have somethimes strange problems with my 3g internet. My apps wont open correctly with "connection refused" error- like Tapatalk, Facebook app and many others. So as a start ai tought it was my service provider's fault, but all my friends don't have such a problems and are using same provider.
Today finally I decided to perform the Ping Test in my Phone information service menu and here is what I got:
Ping IpAddr: pass
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): pass
HTTP Client test: Fail: IOExeption
So obviously something is wrong with my phone, considering the last test.
What are your opinions, guys?
Do I need to send it back for repair?
This occours on JM7/8 roms with Voodoo b4 lagfux and raspdeep's OC kernel
did you install anything recently like DroidWall for exxample?
you should also check with your Phone company to make sure the DATA is turned on in your account, i've seen many XDA members here that had the problem, and it was their phone accounts that had data dissabled by mistake
No, I have installed only apndroid, nothing else related to i-net data..
It should be enabled on my account as I can browse in the browser.
The problem mostly occurs in Apps that are using i-net..
And what means this error I received when did Ping Test?
apndroid is an app to turn on/off the internet
make sure you flip the switch back to ON, to let internet traffic flow

Hi there,
I'm using my own 6.5 (custom) Rom (Build 23004). I use an hosted exchange
server for Direct Push. Syncing is working well without any errors. But sometimes
it just looses the connection and Active Sync tells me: "Last synchronized: ...".
Then i hit Synchronize and it stays connected for some time again.
This happens to me since a long time, I can't remember if this happened to me
using 6.1 Builds. But as far as I know I didn't get this issue using the stock Rom.
This issue is really annoying as WiMo doesn't even notify me about loosing the
connection, and then even "check email every X minutes works better.
Does anyone know a solution? I don't like to get back the "ugly" stock Rom.
P.S: I read some guys using a Tilt had this issue as well, if not using the AT&T
stock Rom, but the HTC one.
Edit: In the Attachment is the Active Sync log. Disconnect was at 10:35. Don't know if this helps.

For some time now I use 6.5 ROMs together with hosted Exchange and the problem you discribe hasn't occured to me once (been using 6.5 builds for about 3 months now).
Have you contacted your hosting provider? Maybe it's a setting in Exchange that causes the disconnect.
Not yet, I didn't think it was related to them. I'll write them a mail tomorrow, too late right now. A good input.
At least I know right now the problem isn't related to wm6.5 custom Roms.
Thanks for your answer.
Alright, I'm getting closer now.
Just taping "Synchronize" doesn't reestablish the connection. The last time the
error was probably related to bad signal (more later).
Yesterday evening the connection was lost again. It happened at 20:40. I
noticed it at about eleven o'clock and see there was no data connection. I
told active sync to synchronize, but it took twice until it finally established a
data connection. Syncing didn't work either. So I tried to access the web using
Opera, but no page was loaded, it just showed me the white screen, no error
message.
So, I turned the Phone on and off in Comm Manger, then it was working again.
I checked the log and it gave this line:
#2009-07-18 21:02:26.0000 AutdPing Ping received. HR = 85020003
At 21:02, there was the first sync attemp after the sync at 20:40.
The error code 85020003 tells me there is something wrong with the data
connection (conn mgr).
In Active Sync I get the error code 0x80072efd which is also related to
network problems.
So the problem is more complex I originally thought.
I'm really confused right now. Please, somebody got an advice?
Googled a bit trying to figure out what the error code means, some state you need to uncheck the proxyserver checkbox in your advanced connection settings. Others say uncheck the use SSL connection in your activesync settings. But none seem to be a conclusive solutions for everyone, so you can a least try.
Will try to find more....

Thanks for your commitment Lokatho.
I've been searching a lot, but didn't find anything that seems to be related to my problem.
I think this behaviour isn't related to Active Sync actually. It rather seems to be a
problem with the connection. All articles I found only describe errors coming from Active
Sync itself.
The weired thing is that toggling the Data Connection on/off doesn't help. My device
won't connect to the Internet any more (using 3G/GPRS). Only disabling and reenabling
the phone makes it work again. The error only appears after hours of usage up to a day
or more.
Seems like I need to return to stock rom for further investigation soon.
PS: Didn't contact my hosting provider as I'm moving to a better (cheaper, more storage, exchange 2007 instead of 2003) one right now, let's see.
Alright, I think I found the solution. I disabled HSDPA/HSUPA as my phone
only wanted to connect to my carrier data connection if this option was unused.
Now I turned it on again, my data connection was still working, and the issue
seems to be gone! Now I have to wait further (working for 2 days now). I'm
really happy now it's gone. Remember this if your running into strange
problems with your data connection
Hello all,
This might be a very newbie and stupid question, but please help me!
I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S from Vodafone Romania just a few days ago with a 1 GB data plan. Every thing worked perfectly (traffic was low and fast, some 30MB of download + upload in the last days) but this morning.... surprise 1.7 GB of traffic downloaded overnight (checked my My Vodafone online account and there it was: some 900 MB at around 2 am and another hundreds MB at 5 am). I was sleeping, the telephone was beside me at all time, no one else in the house etc.
Here is a list of apps which were installed on the device:
Best Matrix Live Wallpaper by yu xin
Angry birds
BATstat battery widget by martin eder
google goggles
magic tg tracker by shalafi
Moxier world
weather bug
es file explorer
notification notes by blee tech
vr tunnel lite live
ghost commander
data counter widget
mtg pedia
earth live wallpaper + map packs
star wars live wallpaper
barcode scanenr
yahoo messenger
star wars light saber
remote rdp lite
kindle
android manager wifi
Has anyone encountered this situation before? Can any of these apps cause such traffic?
I have wifi at home, the wifi on the device is enabled when I am at home (and so it was the night before). All I did was download Angry Birds and just played a few levels for fun and then went to sleep.
Could some have used the Wireless AP option, could someone tether to the device without my permission, wirelessly?
Maybe the bluetooth was on; could some have used it without a pin or without me accepting the connection?
I have talked to vodafone support and they say they will know only 4 days after the beginning of the monthly plan (which is on the 2nd, making this possible only on the 6th). Could they check then, the iport that my device was connecting to? Maybe in this way I could identify the application.
Please HELP!
Best regards,
T.
I note you have Data Counter Widget installed.
Have you checked the downloaded amount showing in that App against what your online Vodaphone account is saying?
If there is a discrepancy you will at least know the data has not come from your phone but an outside source.
Looking at your Apps I can't see anything that would generate that kind of figure.
Have you checked to see if there was a Vodaphone update?
- The data from VDF seems very similar to the one reported by the traffic counter;
- Having restarted the phone, I don't think that this was an update: I remember checking the about phone screen before restarting it and there was the old info.
Still... 1.7 GB update?
Thanks for the quick respone,
T.

Well, apart from update files or other items from Voda I can't see anything that should generate such a high volume of traffic... It doesn't make sense!
You may want to ask Voda if they have issued any large files or can explain the traffic.
Other than that you have the time it happened, you could try going through a file explorer (Astro is my choice) and checking the date/time/size stamp to see if anything correlates.
The only apps that could use data are yahoo messenger and remote rdp lite but so much in a night .... Have you installed an app the day before the huge download ?? Or used one that you don't use a lot ??
On Saturday I only installed ES file explorer and angry birds.
I have talked this morning to Vodafone support and they have listed a request to their technical team with a 72 hours deadline. So I'll call them again on Wednesday and see what's going on.
The guy from Vodafone told me that it is really strange as others who have complained about a similar problem had their traffic spanned over a whole month (and that was pretty obvious...) but in my case everything was downloaded in 2 bursts.
I'll just have to wait and see what happens...
T.
cause you are form Romania , big hi for you and all Romanians .i think the problem if u have Froyo.
is in Froyo it self .it is really not a problem . put in Froyo there is option that save your data(application data) automatically and when ever u reinstall an application all the data and sittings will be restored .and u can guess how much data is there .
u can disable this feature by going to sitting and then go to privacy and u can disable backing data .
Thanks for the idea, but the problem is I don't have Froyo (yet! ). But I'll be careful once I update my device to Froyo.

Note.. what the poster is forgetting is this is direct downloaded material which is seen on the Vodaphone Online server not just on the Phone.
Publicly contactable IP address?
Hi there,
If you aren't using a proxy server via your cellular provider(IE a WAP apn setup with proxy), you have probably received a public IP address on your phone.
What could have happened is that someone somewhere(or a server) has been shunting data at your public IP address over night which would explain the data usage. The data doesn't need to be initiated by any program on your phone, only that you are contactable on the Internet.
I personally use a program called Droid Wall(Firewall for Android) which drops unrequested packets of data from the public Internet side. It also allows you to specifiy which installed programs on your phone may or may not use your cellular connection, or your Wifi connection.
I generally use Droid wall to refuse internet 3G and Wireless access to programs which I know shouldn't require it, such as games
If you aren't using your providers Wap Proxy server and you are still getting this significant data usage, I would recommend changing over to it from the normal Internet APN you are currently using.
Hi,
Thanks for the info. While I wait for Vodafone to research my problem, I'll give the firewall a try.

Sorry I should have mentioned that you also need to have root access as well for Droid wall
Thanks! I found the app on the Market and the rooted part was clearly typed into the title . I'll give it a try later today.

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

Hello all, a quick question here.
I've done a search on this issue and didn't seem to find any match.
I run a stock off the shelf Note, no modifications. It connects, without any problem, with my home wifi. On many occasions now, when I'm in public place with open WiFi, I run quick tests to see if it connects. It does and says CONNECTED with a good speed. I check if it's really connected by refreshing my weather report and I try the ESPN Score app. EVERY TIME it says that it can't connect to the respective servers. So I'm actually NOT CONNECTED at all? I'll disconnect and reconnect several times and it gives me good connection speeds, but I'm still off air.
When I get home, I hit the WiFi, and in a couple seconds I'm connected with working apps.
I've tried everything and just have no idea what's blocking connections away from my house?
I run both Lookout and AVG on my phone and haven't found any settings from them that might be the reason for the blocking?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
In my experience most public WiFi spots require you to log in through the browser to set up the connection. It is there, but until you log in, nothing but their page is accessible.
All they want is your email and to show some ads, so it normally fine to do.
Usually when you open a browser or website, it should load up a "LOGIN" screen for you to enter a username or password.
It also depends where you are, most libraries and hospitals will give you access to free Wi-Fi without a login. In coffee shops or an office building, you will need a login.

Thanks for your input!
I'm embarrassed to say that I actually never tried opening the browser, I just kept trying to make the apps. and widgets connect.
I will definitely give that a try next time I'm out. I really have no desire to use the public open WiFi's because of the threat of being hijacked or spied on by some random coffee drinking hacker, I just wanted to make sure all my phone functions work properly.
Thanks again!
many open spots lock down different ports to stop people using loads of bandwidth
if it gets connected with 1 wifi then it should with others, no problem with the system.
All public wifi spots I use will connect but do nothing until I load the browser and agree to their terms of service etc.
Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
