Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody can help me. Last week, I switched from the $25 Cricket paygo plan to the $35 Cricket paygo plan, and ever since I switched plans, my mobile web completely stopped working.
I think it keeps trying to direct connect, and is completely ignoring my proxy settings, because the little 3G icon has an ^ (arrow) flashing up constantly, and sometimes it flashes up and down together at the same time.
But the weird thing is, is when I tether to my computer and set up the proxy settings on my computer internet settings, it works.........
So I right now I have an app called AutoProxy installed on my Droid and the web works.
I don't want to have to use the app though, because sometimes it closes when my phone is asleep for some time and I'm tired of starting it back up.
So can someone please help me troubleshoot this issue I have with my phone.
Send me an email (I sent you a PM). I have a working APN for cricKet (I'm on cricKet).

i have the same problem how did you fix it ?
OTA?
was that an OTA update? or a manual ?
Hi folks,
Hope someone can help, I have just gone from a fixed internet usage to unlimited 'all you can eat' data with the Three network. Since doing this, I cannot connect to the 3G network, I get the message, " Are you using your phone as a modem or personal hotspot"
So basically, it thinks my phone is tethered (which is not allowed on the all-you-can-eat' data plan. The thing is, my phone is NOT tethered.
I have called 3, but it may take up to 48 hours to get this sorted out, and I need the phone for navigation on Friday.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
Got exactly the same problem.
Using a Dolphin browser with my Galaxy SII in 3uk.
What they answered to you after you call?
still waiting for reply. have you tried standard browser? if dolphin is like opera, it uses a proxy server to compress data etc, so i need to use the stock browser to get real errors.
They must have done something as I am using 3g network OK this morning, will wait for their call
Sent using TCP/IP
I found what causing that, dont know why.
Its of course doplhin browser. when im using Opera (big one, didnt tried mini) i can use my internet without probs.
Everytime i used dolphin this tethering thing comes on and no other application was not able to connect to internet at all.
Had to switch phone off, wait about 10 minutes and internet was on again.
Seems dolphin because this proxy thing or something else raise this barrier on 3.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Thanks guys, can confirm that its the dolphin browser
Hello,
I've had my Desire C for about a year now, but have only recently added a data feature to my (prepaid) plan. Up to this point I've only been able to afford a call/text plan. Anyways, I can now connect no-problem to the WiFi in our apt. I can check my email with the gmail app that was already on the phone. But if I attempt to browse the internet it will work for a minute or two before it hits a roadblock and gives me the "Webpage not available" screen. Same thing if I attempt to download app on Google Play. It seems to get to about 10%-20% then hangs. The WiFi is connected the entire time on the phone.
I have had no issues with our WiFi, whether it be on my PC or the gf's laptop or her iPhone5. But my Desire C is a different story.
Any suggestions?
edit:
I should probably note that I took the phone to work and tried the same while on my mobile network and had the exact same problem as I did on the WiFi.
further edit: After some more playing around I have found that my internet works fine for a minute or so after booting it up from shut-down. Then it craps out again.
Are you locked or unlocked?
Having issues with my WiFi. Been doing it for a week or so. Every few days and now since yesterday my WiFi will all together quit working. Says connected but I get no internet and can't access my gateway with it. I have Xfinity internet and all the other phones and laptops work fine on it. But my phone just straight won't work on the WiFi unless I hard reset my phone. Tried DNS settings and static IP address and all. Multiple reboots of both device and gateway. Can't seem to find anyone else having this issue. Any thoughts from anyone before I take it to Verizon?

Are you on the most recent update? The newest one fixes that problem.
I should be.

wifi sucks on this phone. I don't get the disconnects but it is very slow to load anything and everything. Pictures, web pages, whatever. Doesn't happen to the other 15 devices on my network. LTE works fine
When it connects I have no problems with speed. Despite being up to date with software I have to reset every few days for it to work here lately. I've even hard reset my AP and checked the firmware on it and everything else works fine before and after. Its just this phone. I finally got it working again after a reset last night so if it does it again I'm just going to Verizon with it. I'm no IT specialist but I know enough to try different things and still no remedy other than hard reset.

Believe it or not, I have this problem too. I'll be completely connected with nothing going wrong with my network, but I'll have no access to the internet. I'll go to my tablet or my roommate's phone and there will be no problems.
I'm still looking up other forums and Verizon as well to see what possibly could be up with it. If I find anything useful I'll let you know. It's pretty frustrating when I don't have unlimited data anymore like I had on Sprint. If I did I really wouldn't care to be honest, but Verizon's service has by far surpassed Sprint in Houston.

I've noticed that when my device sits idle for long periods, overnight for example, while connected to my home WiFi there doesn't appear to be any throughput. It seems to be connected in every other respect. Toggling WiFi off/on sorts it for me though. I know that I've read that this is a reported bug that is to be fixed, but naturally, I've been reading so much at so many different sites, that I can't for the life of me recall exactly which site it was. I'm guessing that you issues are somewhat different than mine?
Yeah. I can toggle or reboot or reset my AP all day when it does this and it will never fix it. I tried for 2 days of different fixes I've seen online but the only thing that gets it back is a hard reset.

Might be a fluke but just got home and no WiFi like I expected. Did a hard reset on my AP with the reset button instead of through my laptop by logging into it. Forgot network on my phone. Rebooted it. Connected and it was fine. Pain in the ass if I have to do it every day but if it works it works.

I also recently started having this problem. Frequent disconnect / reconnect to Wifi with no data passing through. I had to shut off my mobile data because it was increasing my data usage at home.
I also noticed this problem too. It shows I have Wi-Fi connection but no internet or email access. When I disabled the WiFi, internet comes back. It's also xfinity Wi-Fi router. That's only place I have Wi-Fi issues.. No issues at home. Maybe it's compatibility issues with xfinity router?

I'm using an Netgear AC1750 router...No issues with Wifi at work.
I'm pretty convinced its the Xfinity access points. I don't have WiFi at work as I work in a shop, but the WiFi at my in-laws (Sudden Link) worked fine this weekend. I am now I'm having the same issue with my laptop all the sudden as well is why I am really thinking that it's their hardware and not mine. Never had this issue with AT&T when I had them. Had already switched to Comcast before I got the Turbo so I can't say with 100% certainty.

Sounds like it could be....if you have another Wifi router you could try it and disable the AP on the Xfinity modem. On my network, only the Droid Turbo has trouble with WiFi. I've got 7 other devices on there that all work fine.
Never set up an external router on it. I as well have 3 other phones, 2 other laptops and 2 tablets that all work fine with it. Xfinity just hates the turbo. Lol My laptop I think was a fluke as it hadn't been turned on in a few days. I just think it didn't want to refresh the settings until I released/renewed, then it was fine. I'll find out tonight when I get home anyways.

I also don't think its interference either. My father in law is an ex cop and radio operator. He has all sorts of repeaters and radios and all I haven't a clue about set up. If there was going to be any interference involved I'm pretty sure it would be there. Heh.

Yeah. Reading through some of that I never have hanging issues. Mine would just flat out not work at some points. Other than hard reset on the phone I have only found 1 way to fix it.
1. Forget WiFi network and shut off phone.
2. Hard reset my AP with reset button on back of it.
3. When AP is finished rebooting turn on phone and reconnect to WiFi.

Opened sqlite editor and looked for the settings.db file for WiFi tether on T-Mobile and its no longer there. Was it intentionally hidden to prevent changing the files? Anyone know how to expose the files if they are there? 7gb isn't enough to tether. Thanks.

i guess you dont know whats going down.. two weeks ago, tmobile started a crackdown on people that "steal" the data services, for tethering their home internet. if you arent powering your home internet with it, then 7gb is plenty. and dont say that you dont "steal" anything, as it is considered theft. that said, im not innocent myself. but it is what it is.
So, the best way to keep the ability to tether with T-Mobile (5gig pre-paid here) is to not upgrade to Marshmallow ?
If so, I am ok with that. I rarely tether anyway, but when I need to I need to.

i tether all the time, but the 7gb is more than enough for me now, as i dont have a home computer. you could try not upgrading, but they can still tell nowaday if you are or not. last year they caugt me, and i wasnt even tethering much. since then, every time they caught me tethering illegally, every time i went online with the n6 i had to contact tmobile because all my data would be stopped.
several weeks ago, tmobile and their leader made a statement about catching everyone that powers their home internet via tethering illegally.
We are on different plans, I think. I get 5gigs of data, 100 minutes of voice, unlimited texting for $30/month. They used to call this the "Wal-Mart" plan. It is prepaid and I don't think it allows any tethering at all, which is kind of stupid of T-Mobile since no one could provide home internet tethering out of only 5 gigs of data. I had to edit an sql database on my Nexus5 under KitKat to enable tethering, and that has persisted thru all the Lollipop updates so far.
