I have an issue here where Google.com doesn't load when the revolution is in a 3G area. It will only load Google.com when it's in a 4G network. I talked to a tech guy from Verizon Wireless who happens to have the same phone and his phone does the same thing when the phone is in 3G mode.
I was wondering if the owners of this phone can do a little test for me to see if your Revolution behaves the same way.
Instructions:
1. Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> System Select -> Network Mode
2. Change Network Mode to "CDMA Only"
3. The Phone should restart
4. Turn on the browser
5. Go to google.com
6. See if it loads
This definitely will help me and all the other owners of this phone that may have this issue. My assumption is that our phones may be faulty on the old 3G networks. The VZW tech got a Samsung Charge on his desk and the website loaded perfectly fine under 3G mode so the network theoretically is all good.
If the phone turns out to be faulty, we all may have a phone that was partially broken the whole time.
Also, if your phone does behave this way, DO NOT EXCHANGE THE PHONE. I already have and it behaves the same way.
Note: The exchanged phone HAS NOT been rooted yet. Rooting doesn't appear to have any affect on the browsing capability.
EDIT: You may have to clear the cache because the browser may bring up the page from old data. Gmail.com doesn't work as well through the browser.
Testing now. Will edit this when I find out. Also, this will prolly get moved to general. Fair warning.
EDIT: I loaded Google just fine. and I only had 1 bar of service in 3G compared to the 2 bars I get with 4G in my house. That is kinda weird to me but whatever
oh my bad.... haha
Works fine here for me too. Maybe a little slower, but it still loads.
I am in a 3G only area with wifi turned off...Google did load, albeit very slowly. other pages are loading pretty quickly...

...we all do have a partially broken phone, but, it is what it is. on my phone, using the official Twitter app, bit.ly links will not work on 3G or WiFi with 3G radio on... they sit for days... but on 4G, and wifi with 3G radio turned off works as expected...
on topic: every once and again, google is stupid on all android phones i've had, (droid 2, x, evo, incredible, and this one) it's set to my home page, and what I do is i hit menu>>windows>> and then close the current window with nothing loaded. usually google then loads right up.
true true... but I expect Google.com to at least work on all networks. It is a Google phone.

You are very wrong grasshopper. It is not a google phone. If you will note, it is loaded with Bing. It's a move to try to get away from the Google apps, due to crap that is above everyone's pay grade. There is stuff Google is dabbling in, that some companies don't entirely appreciate. Everything from their Earth program to geopolitical stuff.
As far as your issue, I don't have it either. I cleared the history and cache from my stock browser and Dolphin Browser. And then went in to the stock browser and loaded Google.com just fine.
As far as my messaging post here (in the development section) it must have just been the aliens, cuz now my messaging is working fine.
I have yet to find my phone's "issue"
I have noticed this as well. Google reader and google voice apps do not work for me unless I am on wifi. All other apps/websites seem to work fine.
I have noticed that google.com is slow all the time on my phone. I'm in a 4G area. I was just about to load the decrappified ROM to see if it fixed the problem.
Search for "set dns" on google market. I had sort of the same problem and using this solved it. In a nutshell, the DNS entry that came shipped on the phone doesn't work for 3g. Setting it to google DNS or OpenDNS solved the issue immediately. I'll have to find the article where I found this solution, I'll post the link when I find it again.

What I meant to say is, the Android platform was designed by Google. The Bing add-ins is an unfortunate extra that can't be changed by a novice user. The situation is kinda like having a Windows 7 computer that can't go on microsoft.com.

Good find. Fixed my google+ app not working. I was getting constant unable to contact servers. Changed out the DNS and the app and data came up almost instantly.

Good Find. Not sure if its speeding anything up. I've had to switch to Opera Mini because of horrendous connectivity issues with the stock browser, XScope? I'm hoping maybe this will speed up connections. Biggest complaint besides battery life I have about this phone. Using a browser is not a pleasant experience. If anyone has any suggestions to make that experience good, I'll take them.
It worked for a few hours, now its super slow again.

Oh, right. I should clarify: this doesn't actually "speed up" your connection. It keeps your phone from having to wait until it's (bad) dns query times out. While this will resolve the slow downs caused by dns queries, it won't fix any other cause.

I have a Fuze set up for tethering using the native "Internet Sharing" app on AT&T.
It's set up using MediaNet (I'm not paying the tethering monthly fee).
As far as I can tell - everything is working as it has for a long time now
EXCEPT Facebook. I've tried multiple browsers and got nothing.
When I brought up a proxy Facebook came up with all the normal glitches of a proxy so that's not a permanent solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks
same here, tried going on facebook and it shows i cant go on the site idk if its facebook or AT&T or both, but i know for a fact the mobile version of facebook works, m.facebook.com but no comfirmation of the full version, ill look around and see whats the problem but like i said it could be either AT&T or facebook or both tbh
ahhh...i hate this....but yeah m.facebook.com does work...but it sucks...lol...thanks for the info...hopefully someone answers us soon!!!
Yep.. im in a hotel right now and im blocked.. Pretty pissed about it might call ATT if it isnt resolved by tomorrow..
It is also blocked using WMWifiRouter in Wifi mode.
Oh wow - so this is bigger than AT&T blocking me personally...
It sounds like we all have the same symptoms
My m.facebook (pulling it up on my phone) also works fine
I would call AT&T, but I'm not paying for tethering so I doubt they'll be too receptive
What doesn't make sense to me is why would they block just Facebook? Why not block everything from us non-payers if they have this ability? Not saying I want that - but it just seems odd
Can a paying tethering customer tell us if you can still get on Facebook??
I thought I was just having some strange FB issue. I cannot go on using my tethered connection or my desktop at work anymore... Very strange...
day 2 and NO FB!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHH THIS SUCKS!!
OMG!!! I GOT IT!!! vtunnel.com then type in facebook.com and BAM!!! YOUR IN!!!
Better Fix
its odd that att added facebook to their list but its ineviteble the block lots of site on their dns i found this out months ago when megavideo sudenly stoped working the best work around is to not use their dns its slow and crappy use opendns is fast and free even warns you against malware site you might be tricked onto clicking on. its what i use its alot more reliable than a cloaking site or proxys.
I use Walking Hot Spot for WiFiRouting on my ATT Fuze. I just tried to open facebook and it worked fine. I did not log-in as I do not have a facebook account, but I could browse to the site.

Ok guys, seriously. This device is amazing except for the fact that the wifi on it
absolutely sucks.
Is it hardware, and do I need to go exchange mine,
or is it software?
Try loading dropbox.. how fast do the files dl? Have you tried tethering to a 3g phone to compare speeds or tested other networks? Are you just testing browser speed and have you tried Opera or Dolphin HD to compare?
Dropbox is REALLY slow and fails to download more often than it succeeds. Which sucks cause I am using it to save the apps that I want in case there's an update that wipes everything.
Dolphin HD is not bad, but still really slow. like 10 seconds for google.com to load.
I have an alternate market installed, and its good, but almost useless since It fails to download so often.
EDIT: oops, I do not have tethering on a 3g since I am not paying the rediculous 3g fees when I have wifi everywhere. I would literally never use the 3g.
And since you are required to get a data plan if you get an android, or any other smartphone, that is out of my reach.
I wonder if the cell companies realize that they are losing money this way?

Have you tested other networks? Is the wifi weak where you live? If yes to both swap the NC with another unit.. My 3g/wifi tethered connection is about 4 seconds to load google on the stock browser. Dropbox has never dropped a single app I have uploaded or DL's (awesome app btw!!).
Well, Im on a college campus, there are usually 4 or 5 APs visible on the same channel with the same name at any given time. iPhones work fine on it, iPod touches work well on it...
The nook registered with the network easier than any of the above devices, except that it drops connections/can't download/download speed is terrible.

Why not go to the same BN you bought the unit and test the wifi against the demo units? IF yours is considerable slower or the signal is weaker swap it as defective.

What have you been using to tether?
I think the worst-case is that the nook does not like the wifi here. That no nook would work well with this network. Linux doen't like the network either, it will keep randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. It makes me worry that I have a device that will basically have no internet until I leave college.
I have no problems with wifi on this device.
Using 6 mbit AT&T DSL Home Service, over wifi wireless-g, WRT54-GL flashed to Tomato 1.25. Both devices in the next room, in the same spot, downloading a 28.3 MB file.
Nook Color: 1m 1s
Evo 4G: 1m 8s
So, defective devices notwithstanding, there is nothing inherently wrong with the Nook's wifi performance at all.
you guys suck. Mine is pretty much useless for webbrowsing, and IM BARELY works, dropbox just refuses to fully download anything.
Guess it's back to B&N tomorrow... I guess I'll unroot it tonight.
Also it was doing this before the root, so I know its not that .

Changing Channel on Router Solved: Once Slow Nook Wifi to Super Fast Nook Wifi
I just wanted to pass along the solution that worked for me:
I had a nook wifi and bought a new nook wifi/3g for my mom. Sometime after synching both of these, my nook wifi starting going in like super slow mo! So much, that it was almost useless to try to shop for new books. My favorite search is "0.00 <any topic>" to search for free books on a particular topic.
So, after googling for like ever, the fix I tried that worked was to change the channel on my router (linksys) from channel 6 to channel 11
Whallah, didn't have to reenter my credentials (I'm using wep security), everything just went from super slow mo to super fast again! Love my nook again!
yea im having issues too, but i dont think its with the nook color. i was using it stock rooted for a few days and it was pretty quick. recently put on froyo and now market is slow and so is browsing. going to try a higher class card and see if that helps. but ill have to look up other answers.

The GPS thing is odd for me too. It shows me where I am perfectly, however shows my girlfriend sitting over on a nearby airport runway when she is right next to me. She has the Thunderbolt on Verizon.
And to make it even more strange... She sees me over there too but her phone shows her location perfectly.
And it's always off like that... no matter where we are. we see ourselves fine but each other as off by about 1000 feet or so.

You may want to turn on Wifi (you don't have to connect to any Networks).
Wifi on speeds the process up quite a bit.
A few years ago Google was in the hot seat for gathering Wifi info while gathering data for Street View.
all third part apps work fine on finding my location maps finds its quick and fast my problem is on google.com the browser in general does not find my location it keeps saying location unavailable

I've tried contacting HTC about this. Has anyone heard of a possible fix?
AT&T referred me to HTC because they did not have a solution. HTC had me check all settings and do a soft reset but that did not work. I was not willing to do a factory reset. HTC said that since the phone is new they are waiting on customer feedback to see what issues the phone has before they issue a patch. So I guess this will stay an unresolved issue until then.
Any word on a fix for this? I'm encountering 'Location unavailable' in the browser (any browser, actually, tried Dolphin and Firefox) and I can't seem to fix it. I actually DID do a factory reset, no dice (restoring nandroid now).
Maps apps (Maps, My Tracks, Latitude) work fine and locate me whether I'm on wifi, LTE, GPS on/off. Same with widgets. Everything but the browser. It's really frustrating. I've tried every combination of settings, both in the browser and the general phone settings.
For what it's worth, I've been in touch with HTC, and they're looking into it. I won't hold my breath.

If you are talking about the position marker on the map, GPS positions and/or the apps using them can be off. At work and at home, the marker can be as much as 50 feet from where I am actually located. This may be due to the number and position of the satellites being tracked. I have found some apps to be more accurate than others. Personally, I think the Vivid GPS works well, but you are rarely going to have the marker less than 15-20 feet of your actual position -- unless you are a military weapon or a military target.
Hi guys, I'm desparate right now and can't find a solution at all on the internet. It's been like this for 2-3 months and it's getting progressively worse.
I'm going to be real specific in the post.
My phone, when connected to wifi (Verizon fios) has issues using google related applications. When I try to search on google.com, it just sits on a blank screen with the loading bar 20% done, and then gives me a web page error, same for the youtube app, just keeps on loading and loading. I resolved my problems by google searching on my data, and using m.youtube.com rather than the app. Worked well for about 3 weeks, now when I'm connected to the wifi, NOTHING loads, not a single website, just sits there loading and never works. It's so fraustrating, I've reset the phone twice, cleared all kinds of cache within the phone, it's unrooted as well.
I'm so pissed right now, maybe it's an issue with my router/wifi, and not the phone itself. I have verizon fios, using a Actiontec MI424WR router (came with installation)
Says I'm connected to the wifi, excellent connection, getting over 60+ mbps YET IT WONT LOAD A ****ING GOOGLE PAGE OR LOAD A YOUTUBE VIDEO, LET ALONE THE APP ITSELF.
Please help, if you need more info please ask!
We need more info. Can you tell us what your software version number and Android version are!? Are you stock or rooted with a custom ROM!? Any Xposed modules). Please also be clear on what variant of the HTC One you have (Sprint or Verizon or att). If stock it sounds like you just need to do a factory reset.

some of the early DE phone's were picky about router settings but that was a year ago. Does resetting your router (unplug it)
help at all? also you can go into the router settings in the band section and set it to 2.4ghz or 5ghz and turn of auto and see if that helps.
I have used 1Weather for a long time without any issues. Lately I have noticed that the radar takes 15 -25 seconds to load, even though the map and present location load immediatley. I have noticed this on my Nexus 6, my Nexus 5x, Samsung 10.1 G5210, and Samsung SGS III --- all running different android versions.
Have contacted 1weather but they say they do not experience this.
So - can some of you install 1weather, and tap the map icon at the bottom to see how fast/slow your radar loads? I am in OKC area if you think that weather data feeds for this area might have something to do with it.
Or any other ideas - wifi speeds are excellent otherwise
SOLVED - Thanks to all who posted and made suggestions. It turned out to be the wifi router (ASUS). I went down to the AT&T store and tried their wifi - 1Weather loaded fast and so did radar. Bought another router (Netgear) and 1Weather worked properly. Some setting on the ASUS router (on or off I don't know) was the culprit - but I think it had something to do with parental control, because I initially had same problem on Netgear. Then I turned on parental control but did set it to block nothing and that did the trick. Have no idea why, but it's working now. May re-hook up the ASUS to see if there's a similar setting to turn on/off

I'm in the Dallas area and mine loads quickly. I also have some locations in New England and they load fast too.
At least you got a reply from them. I emailed them a question a week or two ago and they never answered.
I have the app and my Radar seems to load very fast.
I am in the DC-VA-MD area.
So I hate to say, but the problem might actually be with the area where you live.
Mine loads fine as well on Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat. You may consider clearing cache or at the very worst data and resetting up the app if problems persist.

I have actually done that and also rolled back to a previous version...with no success.
I did change my router to a dual band router, but am pretty clueless as to 95% of the settings.
So since you mention the router, are you saying on mobile data it loads fine?

No I have checked that as well. But interesting is that it loads the "still" radar first on mobile, not the animated one. It loads the animated one on wifi 1st.
Well it sounds like your wifi is working fine regardless if data is coming through and its just this app and the fact that its happening on mobile data too confirms its not the router settings. All I can think of is check permissions under the app settings, make sure its got the location access
(im sure it does) as well as storage permissions. Other than that if I cant replicate it then all someone can really suggest is uninstall/reinstall. The storage permission is to cache map data for radar which should be what makes it load faster.

Thanks for the comments. I'm gonna try it at the local AT&T store on 1 of their phones, if they'll allow it.
I wonder if it has something to do with the data source of the radar in my area? Oh well, will keep searching
If thats the case try setting it manually to a diff location. You could try 33411 for example which is in florida.
Just a suggestion...if nothing else works...you might want to try another app such as
Radar Now
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usnaviguide.radar_now
I use 1weather and it loads radar very fast on wifi and even faster on LTE. Gotta be a conflict with something else on your device.
