Data works but not in browser - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My data works but for some reason no browser will ever open a web page but apps like facebook and xda etc. all work without a problem. On wifi the browser will work as well but not on data connection.
I tried clearing cache, rebooting, airplane mode disable and then enable but got some reason data won't work in browser. I tried stock and dolphin as well but neither worked.
Any ideas?
Btw I'm on miui v6

Same issue here, hardly believe it's network/carrier related.
On russian forum (4pda.ru) found a guy with the same issue on his Galaxy Ace: it looks like everything works after resetting to factory defaults, but before the first time you
1. are out of wi-fi network range
2. have wi-fi enabled on the phone
3. trying to use browser (looks like all you have to do is to launch it)
Surprisingly enough Opera Mini works. Opera Mobile gives (slightly) more informative message: "Error requested content (site name here) cannot be resolved". DNS related stuff?
p.s. mine has stock froyo for EMEA/CIS (XWJPF), no root

Have you checked your APN settings to make sure they're all there and correct? solW might be right with it being a DNS issue.
Have you had the same problems with other ROMs?

It's not that data isn't working it's that it won't work in the browser only in apps

I also have the same problem...I was on v6 miui, then flash to twooey thinking it would fix the problem, but the issue is still there. I tried different modems also.

Based on my previous idea about DNS issues, I've just tried to access sites directly and somehow it worked (not without any issues of course).
Using direct IP I was able to access google page and do some search, following the search results was out of the question. Similarly I got xda-developers.com to load (but only text - no images, flash, banners, etc.).
So it looks like it is DNS related issue. It would be nice if someone with rooted device could investigate this.
utsmaster18, could you try this on your device? just to verify my guess ...

For me, same issue, is there any way to uninstall/reinstall internet-google stuff from the android? opera mini 100% funcitonal, nothing with dolphin

Sorry I'm not understanding, what exactly do you want me to do? I'm not familiar with internet terminology. You want me to go to a website by entering in an ip address?
What's a signature?

Yes, you got me right. Try typing ip address instead of site name/link for several sites
For example: "www.google.com" in my case was replaced by 74.125.39.105, "www.xda-developers.com" by 50.23.231.74 (to get site ip address you can use ping in windows/linux/(don't know about mac ^)) command line, i.e. ping "www.google.com").
Full address should look like "http://74.125.39.105", but in stock browser just the numbers will be enough. This should give you normal google seach page instead of internal error as result. Just in case, clear browser cache before that
Ouch ... had to wrap some links in quotation marks, because forum does not allow me to post links yet

This is still not working for me. And still working Opera, I really think that is some sort of messed up configuration at the internet browser android comes with...

sounds a bit like proxy problems of some sort, could you try resetting the browser to default settings?
Have you been using OpenVPN?

So did anything happen before this? Was it working before?
Reason I ask was that I had something similar when I flashed a different modem on a new ROM (even though the modem worked previously on a different rom). I flashed back to previous modem and it worked again.
Also thinking that APN may be the issue (possible ports configured which allow other apps internet access?). I would use download APN Global from market, backup my APN settings, delete and then use the database version pulled from the APN to refresh the APN's. So if it's not a modem issue (or haven't made modifications), then maybe try refreshing the APNs?
My 2c

Yeah it was working, even on the same rom but then just randomly it stopped working for some reason. I had never changed modems kernels or anything, it just decided to stop working.
What's a signature?

I am thinking it is APN issue. Any apps that could have potentially modified the APN's? I don't want to point to anything specific, maybe APN disabler? Otherwise, backup and get fresh APNs.

Yeah guys, I recon it would be APN.
In my case APN settings sent to me by my provider (in a configuration message) were wrong because they included Proxy: and Port: values. However when I checked the settings on local forums they didn't have the Proxy: or Port: (they were left blank). So, as soon as I removed values from those two fields it started working again. And yes, opera mini worked despite having Proxy and Port fields filled. So try blanking those fields out and see how you go. Remember to write down the original values first in case you need to go back to them.

Thanks guys for an interesting discussion and fix, nice work

Yep, that'd explain name resolving issue. Recreated APN with access point setting only and it worked for me. Thanks for the solution

https on froyo

I've been searching the forum bout this issue that I encounter after updating to froyo but I haven't found anything similar to my case.
It seems that since I updated to froyo, the browser can't open any https site (I didn't change anything, its the same configuration before updating which is work normally)....is there any configuration that I missed?
btw, I'm updating from original rom (never rooted before), so I assume I didn't do anything harmful to it...
please advise me...
thx
Same here for some reason, my online banking site refuses to load and times out immediately.
yes, I agree...and it's bugging me a lot...hopefully somebody can give us a clue on how to solve this issue...

i dunno if you figured it out yet or not but, i had this problem, go to
menu, settings, wireless and network settings, mobile networks, access point names
then delete proxy/port, make sure to put those numbers in MMS Proxy and port
then network will refresh itself and try https sites they should work, if not reboot and try site again.

USCC APN settings

I'm gonna try out some setting that I've come across. Otherwise, I'll probably wait till they a Samsung Acclaim in the store and just sneak a peak at what they set. I'll let you know if I have any success.
EDIT: It didn't work. I'll have to find someone with an acclaim and find out their settings.

for the better part of a year, the USCC settings automatically load up (at least they always do for me) granted it takes about 15 minutes but they always get themselves in.
in-case you find yourself in the situation where it wont set itself,
a prime question i have- are you using Haret or NAND?
I have it on NAND. My internet works just the MMS is not. I know its not fully supported yet but I would at least like to know how to send them. I could care less about getting the, ( i get a ton of lame ones).

odd: i have been on NAND for almost a month i think and have not had an issue with MMS
when i was first playing around with android and Haret, there was plenty on PPC geeks here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=113441&page=3
i find this extremely weird. since the newer kernel builds, i have not had a problem. i used to have to configure the APN all the time but havent needed for a while.
when you go into wireless settings does it say t-mobile? or what are your current settings?
I've found some settings but I am unable to set my MCC and MCN (I'm using Haret.)
http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Carrier_network_settings#US_Cellular
and
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1746229&postcount=159
That seems to flush out the settings for the most part. I went to a US Cellular store to see if I could view the APN for the their recently released Android phone but you can't view it.
Just for info
I am on Incbus 2.2 rsl10 with DZO 8-7-2010 240x320 nbh
when i look at my APN it is showing T-Mobile US

By default viewing the APN settings it locked out of the new Samsung Acclaim, but I'll dig deeper and try to let you know tomorrow.

If you have one can you dump it that way i can dig around in it to find some APKs that i would like. Like the contacts backup
I got a system dump from the Acclaim and here is the here is the apns-conf.xml file. It has the APN data in there.
thanks for that Can i get the dump you host it somewhere so i can download it

[Q] ROM with full proxy support?

Does anyone know of any Galaxy S GT-I9000 ROM with full proxy support?
I've tried DocRom, which has proxy support that only works for the built-in browser and is enabled for both 3G and wifi.
I've also tried the beta Cyanogen ROM, which does appear to have prxy support, but still has issues (it's a beta, after all) and doesn't have Market included.
I've tried for hours trawling google and can't find anything. So, anyone any ideas?
Cheers.

I dont think any such rom is available. . . ryt now .. !! if you happen to find one do post the link .
Found an app on the market, ASProxy (alsubang.github.com/ASProxy/index.html), no reviews available, but claims to enable WiFi proxy support... I was desperate enough, so I decided to be the guinea pig and spend the cash ($3)... and it worked!!!
I think it must be the only solution - I've looked forever on the market and via google. I was expecting to need a new ROM for this feature, but a simple app sorted it out.

Seems to work for everything, at least on my Uni WiFi. There are some issues I don't really understand in the documentation, so some networks may have issues, but not mine.
I have come across a very minor problem. My WiFi connection isn't great and drops occassionally. After it reconnects I have to manually disable and re-enable the proxy service.
There's a free program you might want to try here before you shell out, sounds similar:

"Access to this url has been blocked"

Hey guys.
So...I've gotten this error in the browser depending on what Rom I'm using. What I've noticed is if I get this message in the browser then my email doesn't work either.
Now, I only get it when I use the data connection ... If I'm on wifi, I'm good.
The only articles I fine on this say that its something AT&T...but I don't get it with the stock Rom...so I'm not convinced. its obviously something with the Rom I flash.
Well... I just flashed GR-1.2...and I really like it! Gingerbread. And the netflix app!!!
So...any ideas how to resolve this? I won't always have wifi...and I need access to my exchange email for work at all times. unless someone knows of a decent convened (free) email app that supports exchange....but I really like the one that comes with the Rom.
Any help is much appreciated. I can't be the only one with this issue...or can I? :'(
I am having the same problem but only with particular browsers such as Skyfire. Works fine on wifi but won't do anything on wireless connection.
Yeah...like Opera mini will work fine because it uses a proxy. But Dolphin I get the same error...and the built in browser...really...I just want me exchange to work...and I'm sure if I just download another email app iy will work...but I can't find a free one that supports exchange.
No ideas at all?
=(
Why don't you post the link so we can all try it?
try reflashing or clearing your cache. other than that if your phone is paid for buy your company they often have browsing restrictions
A link to the ROM? Well...the link to GR-12 is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055622.
Firefly (an older version anyways) has the same issue. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284)
Axura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872784) (like your ROM Adam) did NOT have this issue. All the email and browsers worked mint!
Thanks!

Yeah...I'm not convinced it is a carrier restriction because it seems to be ROM based...it works fine on stock ROM...my post above shows some other ROMs where this has happened to me.
SOLVED!
Ok...I thought for sure I've tried this before but I guess not.
It's the APN settings!!!! I went in and created a new APN with just the title 'AT&T' with the settings found here and it worked! It looks like the URL and Proxy are supposed to be blank and have to set the username and password. Those are the only differences but it works!
Now my email works mint on the data connection along with Dolphin!
Thanks Adam for looking! Sorry I didn't think of this sooner.
thank you so much
my problem got solved.
WAP settings
Yes, basically on the mobile networks you're going through a proxy server set up by the carrier. That's why the WAP settings matter

How to download things on goo.im

Hi, whenever i try to download ROMS/GAPPS on goo.im, i cant download it. After the 10 second of waiting, the page will refresh and i need to wait another 10 sec and this go on forever.
Any Help?
There an app just for downloading via goo.im. Chek it out:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
However, I don't use it so I can't tell you no more
I tired still unable to download, error ' md5 checksum failed'
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
There's good chance that the ROM file may be corrupt!! Check if you caan download other files from goo.im
Apparently this is different problem than the one you previously experienced!
I use the goo im app and it works really well.. I had a problem once with it showing errors but it was my own fault my storage was full lol.. quick clean out and back to normal.. it flashes roms for u too u should check it out
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
I dont know if this helps you but maybe this is usefull info.
I have started on a school and there is a school home close by, i live there and they got free internet, only problem is when i download something i get md5 checksum error on everything i download.
I think the problem is cause the connection is bad cause when i use my phone's 3g everything works fine, maybe try another connection or complain to your internet provider?.
Anyway good luck.
I have the exact same problem as you.. page constantly refreshes forever. I tried with my other computers as well with different explorers. Same thing. Maybe its our location.. I live in singapore

I'm impressed - your solution works and I'm also a Singnet user.
I was about to ask you why, but I read somewhere else that on some sites the requesting IP and the IP that actually downloads the file must match. I'm guessing then that Singnet uses transparent proxies, and if you don't specify a proxy server, the requesting IP and the IP that downloads the file is different?

Why the bloody carpet ban for downloading throughout all Asian countries? I mean, it's not like us Singaporeans will hack and shut down your website isit? Just let me download the bloody CM 9 for HTC One V. Now I have to go through a bloody proxy just to download. At least it's a premium, paid VPN which is quite fast.

Our Government does not filter our internet except for unsuitable sites such as: Pornography (Well you can still access it via their mobile sites), racially twisted sites etc. Anyway, the reason why we can't download from goo.im is because goo.im setup their download filter to only include the American and European continents. They must have excluded the whole of Asia because they think China = Asia. Well that isn't true! When did you last see India or SG or Malaysia or heck North Korea hacking? Its just China! Don't go about blocking a huge chunk of IPs just because one idiot did something wrong.
