To make the subject line clear: I tried to connect to a Hotspot (provided by the local cable company at the gym I go to), I need to go into the browser and accept the rules (what a pain). But, I get no internet connection.
Another person there brought up theirs, and it worked fine.
Any sugestions on what I need to do to get this working. Oh...I do connect and get an IP address, but I can't get to the internet it seems.
Might help to give a little more info about your phone, like what ROM of any. What browser do you use?

I am on Mosaic IX; I have tried two browsers: Stock browser, and Opera. Same problem on both.
BTW...I suspect you have already assumed this: I get to the Internet fine on my WiFi connection at home.

Tried it while there today. I must have typoed something. All I could find was Dolphin HD. Tried that, and it didn't work.
I'm installing it now, and will try. Not overly optimistic given 3 others, including Dolphin HD, does not work.
Seems to me it must be something about getting redirected to the hot spot home page is a problem, but I have no idea how I would address that.
I'll post back in a couple days. I'll be up there Friday.

I have tryed 2 different routers @ work and home
Could be that your 3G is using background data, so it has no bandwidth left for other downloads.
Disable your Background data : Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Turn off Background Data and Auto-Sync
Can you browse the web on 3G ? What about using another gmail account ?
i can use Android Market in both 3G and WiFi
are you able to browse the web when only using WiFi ?
Solved....
Wifi router firewall??? Disable and problem solved lool

[Q] App market only downloads over wifi?
Ive had my sgs 4 about a month yday i downloaded appbrain and changed my gmail pw, i duno if either of these things affected the app market but now wen i download something it just says download starting and never starts. Ive trued a few things ive read off forums to fix it like delete the download manager data and checking gmail settings but still. Nothing

Maybe ur over the download limit. Some providers have limits to how much you can download. So i think you should check ur provider
Im with optus in australia got a 2gig limit still got plenty left. The strange thing is i can still download through android browser. I think i mite have to do a factory reset but trying to think of ways around it koz just got the fone how i like it lol

Thank goodness I found this thread!! I've been going completely mad for a couple of days. I've re-flashed the damned phone 100 times, formatted the SD, repartitioned, cleared the cache, I've tried another google account etc etc. I'm with Optus too and it started happening when my JPC firmware started acting up yesterday. I decided to try JPH and I couldn't download any APPs. Currently I'm not near my WIFI so I'm not sure if that works but I'll check it out soon.
I even went all the way back to the Optus branded firmware JG4 to see if that works and that was dead too.
If it's some kind of Optus thing, I'm OK knowing it's not something with my phone. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
This is fk. Had same problem with Optus. Tried everything with no luck. Gonna ring Optus today.

I certainly hope you didn't disable the entire firewall, instead merely opened up the specific port(s) required by the market?
If the latter, could you share the port numbers, please? Thx!

Hi, for the first time ever I am considering using a 3rd party browser. But this is not the topic of this thread. What I am curious about is whether or not you guys have the same stock browser problem as I do.
This bug has never happen to me until the latest OTA update for the D3. When I try to close some browser tabs, it brings to that page instead of closes it. Sometimes I need to press the close button several times (sometimes 5) in order for the close to register properly.
I'm using the Verizon Motorola Droid 3.
Does this happen to you?
Since the day Oeramini and Operamobile were released I haven't opened the android's stock browser a single time.
Like you, the stock browser was having "issues" here and there. I didn't bother looking up any fixes, and just went with Opera Mini.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
OP:
It's cause the close button is tiny and you keep missing it.
It used to happen to me all the time, then I learned to aim.
You'll get the hang of it
This phone comes with a stock browser? When I logged into google the first thing it auto-downloaded was dolphin HD.

It only did that because your apps r set to back up on googles servers...so when u activate a google account on an android phone it puts all your apps on it. So yes, of course there's a stock browser!

Nope, I tested on my left pinky finger, my right pinky finger, the tip of my nose, and naturally, my thumb. It is not my carelessness that caused this to happen. So tell me, does anyone experience the same as I have?

Sometime, the problem may be caused by the touch-screen. From dev side, the touch point which is sent to browser is not correct. The 3rd-party browser would be a better choice. Stock browser really lack some feature which other browser did a great job.
You can try Boat Browser. Check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308752
this happens to me as well, even before the update. Seems that it is sometimes a long press that fixes it, annoying as all...

Exactly, long press seems to fix the issue 25% of the time. But 25% is rough guess and is still an annoyingly small amount.
The issue did occur before update, but it didn't occur ever so often.
Please, I just want people to confirm that this is an issue on everyone elses device.
Anyone else notice that after the GB update you've seemed to have lost the 'back' function for the stock browser?
If you're using the stock browser and try to cycle back through pages by hitting the back arrow key, it now takes you to your home screen - don't seem to be able to cycle back through pages.
EDIT: Only seems to occur in certain sites.
have you tried this with dolphin browser or any other browser?
Haven't installed any other browser. I fooled around a bit after starting this thread and quickly realized that for me, the page back not working was only really occurring while I was browsing here at xda on the web (I've since DL'd the app).
All other pages that I've bookmarked and frequently browse seemed to back up just fine. I assumed it was a function of how this and maybe other forums handled moving within a thread that the stock browser wasn't picking up on - kind of like different pages within a thread look like the same page.
Didn't give it any additional though until today when I noticed someone had reported the same problem in one of the ROM development threads.
For me, it's sort of become a non-issue.
Yes, I've noticed it on the Gingervolt Rom. Are you running stock Gingerbread (rooted or unrooted) or Gingervolt?
Stock unrooted GB. Never rooted the phone.

Just a heads up when using Dolphin, read this:

Yeah but it says that the latest version doesn't forward links or anything anymore.

I have this issue as well, closing and reopening the browser is a temporary fix.
I followed the instructions in the first post in the guide on this forum for unlocking the phone for use on at$t. Have my staright talk sim and changed my apn, all data works fine when using any of the apps ike the facebook app or youtube or downloading apps from play but when i open the browser it immediately force closes. Was kind of annoyed but just thought i would download and try a different browser, that was a no go and 3 browsers later i still cant get any of them to work. Dolphin hd will open but when you put in a web address it fc. Any idea what i might have broken that all these browsers seem dependent on? Btw running a stock rom, havent gotten brave enough yet to try flashing custom roms. This was my first attempt at altering an android device so I'm trying to take it slow and earn everything i can to avoid becoming a bricklayer. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If i have to i will take it back to factory and try again but thought i would give the experts a chance at educating the noob.

I've just tried with both stock (AOSP) and the none beta Firefox and it works fine for me. Bit surprised TBH as I'm in the UK and expected it to be geo IP locked.
Might be worth trying the none beta Firefox and see if it makes a difference.

Both my sons N7 and mine will not run flash. Even though it is loaded and showing in the app drawer. I even tried Boat and still nothing? I guess I will try and undo/reinstall everything. Too weird..

Like the above poster said, enable flash in settings. Also, set plugins to auto for best performance.

I'm running the Flash Player 11 v11.0.1.153 armv6.apk with Firefox beta, latest version downloaded yesterday and on some sites like Biography.com the video plays but no sound.
