SSL / https woes on EDGE (& now 3G!!)

everything works great when i'm on Wifi, but when i'm not, almost every time I try to load an https address in the Browser, I get a blank screen instead of the content I was expecting. I don't live in a 3G market, so I cannot test that.
I don't see any strange errors server-side (Apache httpd is what i've tested).
nothing jumps out at me in logcat...
I'm currently using CyanogenMod 3.9.2, but have experienced this for a while under many different builds.
I have tried a wipe as well as blowing away /data/data/com.android.browser and it doesn't make a difference.
has anyone else experienced this or overcome?

Coming from a web-developer background, I might have your solution
Https sites have enhanced security codecs (hence the "s") that basically encrypt anything being sent in/out, to ensure web browsing security. Sites like Amazon, online banking sites, and so on use Https.
In order to succesfully use it, your browser has to confirm it as a secure website and then adapt its encryption (after all, what good is a secure website when it fails client side?). My guess is, EDGE networks don't send all that data, because it is a good amount of data depending on the site. WiFi can send it fine though because it can handle greater amounts of traffic.
Try your alternate browsers on the market, like Opera Mini or Steel...see if anything changes. What sites are you trying to access? Smaller time websites that haven't adapted Android will see the special Android browser marker and not be able to send security data because it doesn't know how to, but your WiFi comes up when you use that instead, and it'll show up as a regular computer address.
Now that I think about it, the latter reason is probably the cause XD.

ya... Opera mini works ok for the most part. but that makes sense -- all the work is done on Opera's servers and then sent back to the client on the phone. this isn't really a solution for me as opera doesn't offer much of the native functionality (cut/paste, etc)
Steel doesn't work w/ https even over wifi -- it redirects to a google search for the address.
i'm thinking the issue has something to do with the OpenSSL session hitting a memory full message and some background gets killed, but it doesn't make sense that it works consistently over wifi.
I've tried on many different servers (some of which I manage) and can't see anything in the error logs server side -- only the request in the access logs.

just an update to this...
I finally got 3g in my market and the symptoms are identical. the only difference is it times out faster, so I don't think it has to do with SSL overhead being too much for the network to bear. something else is going on.
frustrating!

I was having this problem for a while too and I think I figured out the cause.
At some point back in the Cyanogen unstable rom threads there was a post advising how to set the APN settings for TMO US, which included setting an IP address and port number for the Proxy and MMS Proxy.
You should clear the Proxy and Port fields, if you happened to set those. Once I cleared those (I left the MMS settings as advised), SSL seemed to work on EDGE/3G again.
So what I have now is:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MNC: 260

Getting data to work with desire port!

Yo gang, im pretty new with the nexus, im coming from a sprint hero. I recently switched to TMO. I just broke root into my nexus for the first time last night as i had it only a week. I played around and finally decided to root it. My first rom is the evil desire port. Ive been searching all morning about what settings go in the phone to make my tmobile data service work but i cant seem to find anything. I check the informative threads but they only say how to root and what not. Can anyone point me to a link that will show me what data or settings i have to input to make this rom turn my internet back on. It would be greatly appreciated.

I would assume that you have to add the APN for T-Mobile.
Do a Google search for "t-mobile usa apn settings" and follow the first link to go to a T-Mobile support forum.

[Q] MMS on AT&T??

Hi I tried to look for my issue on the forum, but seem to have problem with my MMS, receiving or sending. I set up my APN, so I am able to get internet and data, but I left the MMS section alone. So I tried another APN setting with cingular info, but still unable to send or receive MMS. Any help would be great thanks.

APN
Create a New APN
Name: What You Like (I choose ATT HSPA+)
APN: PHONE
APN Type: INTERNET
MMS
Create a New APN
Name: Whatever You Like (I choose ATT MMS)
APN: PHONE
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: MMS

Doesn't this mean I have to manually change my network setting to send out MMS?
Update: Okay tried what you said, so it automatically select the AT&T Phone. But still doesn't seem to work.

Thank Sebring5, finally figure it out after doing a little more research.
I guess APN is like you said and that should allow for all internet and data, which I already had. But for MMS portion, I needed to add APN: wap.cingular and finally started to get my messages. Thanks.

Yeah...these are my settings also. Gotta make sure you have an imei the system recognizes as hspa+ for these to work.
Btw... I don't have port 80 set, and I think it's faster that way.

I cannot however get it to receive MMS.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
I have tried various APN settings with no luck. Your help is greatly appreciated!

H2O Wireless APN Settings

So after the nightmare I had trying to get my Nexus 5 and previous Verizon account over to Net10, I decided I'd try out H2O wireless. The process is all great, easy to get on it, but can't get a hold of the correct APN settings for it yet.
Yet.
I've got a few, but thought I'd see what others are using and recommending.
I'm on the $60 Unlimited everything plan.
Here's what I've found.

Now I have no idea where some of this stuff goes, so I tried...

And this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432558
So what is everyone else using? I've done some searching but haven't found much at all.

I just use the APN and MMSC and MMS Proxy, APN Type is all i put in there.

I'm pretty sure they have an app that will help with that.
How do you like the service and everything ? I will most likely be switching to them next month.

They do, incompatible with 4.0 and up because Google no longer allows 3rd party apps to change or as APN settings.
Been in it for one day, but so far it is as good as Straight Talk, but more data.

Well if you have root access you can convert that h20 app into a system app with titanium backup. Then it'll do its thing and get you the right APN.

Hmm, interesting idea. I might give that a shot, it's just nice to be able to see what the actual settings are since we can't see what they are in an existing APN. At least not in the ROM I'm running.
Is be nice to get what others are using too. My first day has been pretty good.

Speeds are limited on the plan i'm on apparently which is the $50 one. The $60 plan should be faster.
When I said I just use the APN I meant the same settings you have above but the rest of the fields are blank. So mine looks like this:
Name: H2O Wireless
APN :att.mvno
MMSC:http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
MMS Type: default,mms,hipri,supl (no space between then)
That's all.
Speeds I haven't tested as it's HSPA+ but prolly limited to 7.2Mbps speeds or something. The $60 plan is "10x" faster, whatever that means.

I don't know how good that APN is for the $60 plan, I did a speed test and had 5 megs on H+, then added your APN settings in and restarted. the highest I can get is one mag with those.
EDIT: nevermind, seems to be working fine now. Thanks.

I tried this but before and after I installed the app all it'll do is force close. Thanks though.

H20 APNs for Nexus 5
Hey everyone, I would like to see what APNs you all are using for the Nexus 5, I am wanting to use my phone to get one of the unlimited plans for the Nexus 5 via H20 Wireless, but I cant seem to get my phone number to pull up on the website when I'm on my account in H20, so if I could get the codes that would be a great help!
Thanks

Posh Titan e500a APN for H2O wireless
I recently purchased the Posh Titan e5000a dual sim phone. H2O has no setting for it.
After fiddling with it for a while I found setting that work for both internet and MMS.
There is no need to create a second apn for mms. It also doesn't matter if you have wifi on as long as data is enabled these settings work.
To get to the apn settings,
Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> new APN (touch the menu on the top right corner for "new apn" option)
Name: Internet APN
(I don't think the name matters)
APN: att.mvno

When testing the MMS use very small photos, I thought the setting were wrong until I was patient and waited a few minutes. Next I attempted a much smaller photo and it only took 5 seconds.
I hope these setting help someone.
