Out of the blue, 4 days ago, my phone stopped allowing Facebook, Instagram, and some websites including Google and Yahoo to open (at least using Dolphin Browser).
I have Comcast and nothing changed on that end, my 2 computes work fine, roommate's phone, tablet, computer, and PS4 work fine still.... But just my phone won't load pages in those apps or websites. I figured something got screwy with my ROM (BadBoyz Kit Kat) so I just fresh flashed their latest Sense 6 ROM and finally got all my apps reinstalled, and it's still doing the same thing. When I shut wifi off and connect through Sprint's slow ass 3g, the apps and browser load fine.
Any ideas??

Hi
i've this kind of problem:
Original browser and dolphin browser don't load any page, in wifi and in 3g, any other app that use data connection work fine.
I've this problem for 2 last day, no new app installed...
in attach logcat, any ideas?
THANKS!!
Idk
I also just started having problems with all the browsers. Running Superfly 1.3 Froyo and none of the browsers will connect. Tried Opera, Steel, Dolphin/Dolphin HD, stock and a couple of others. And no, I don't have them all installed at the same time. Starts loading then kicks back to the home screen. Cleared caches and problem still remains. Any suggestions other than a full wipe. All other apps seem to run fine.
I know that will probably be what happens but I can hope. Hate the thought of setting up the phone again with over a hundred apps.
idkidk, hope you don't mind me tacking on to your post, was searching & ran across it. Hopefully we both get fixed.
I've had my phone for a few months now, was convinced to flash a custom ROM -- and chose Serendipity (Froyo version). I've tweaked it quite a bit, even got the ADWLauncher EX app for even more uniqueness and originality to it. I absolutely love the phone.
But suddenly today, WiFi isn't working. I can browse the internet on 3G just fine, but with a 200 MB plan, that's something I have to be cautious of. I know there's not a problem with the router because my maternal figure has the exact same kind of phone, just stock 2.2, and has no issue with WiFi whatsoever.
I had no issues for the past couple months I've had the phone rooted and flashed to Serendipity either. The internet on my computer works, internet on all other computers and internet-using devices works. It's just my phone. I've restarted the phone, attempted to forget and reconnect to the WiFi, even deleted data\wifi\bcm_supp.conf as a test to see if that'd fix it. Nothing has worked.
It's frustrating because I play a few games from time to time that require internet access, as well as use programs such as Trillian, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etcetera that all require internet access, and I can't simply use 3G due to the data caps.
Any suggestions on regaining WiFi access, outside of reflashing the ROM?

You might try an app on the market called 'FXR Wifi fix and rescue'. I had some connectivity problems and it was able to reset everything and get it working again.
i have searched and read and searched some more and can not come up with anything.
here is my issue, i have a s4a, i have comcast modem with a netgear router, i have streamed pandora on this setup for at least a year or more, occasionally netflix and of course some youtube videos. a few weeks ago i signed up for hulu plus, got a chromecast and went to streaming video from my phone. i watched several shows through the chromcast from my phone as well as a movie on HBOgo. last week sometime something has happened and i can no longer stream anything on my phone, hulu, netflix, hbo, pandora, none of these work, i downloaded cartoon network and it works fine. if i disconnect from my wireless network i can stream all of them, as soon as i connect to wifi "unfortunatly (app) has stopped". i have reset my modem, router, wiped my phone, updated my phone to 4.3, re wiped the phone, and still nothing, as of this moment the only app that i have downloaded on my phone is pandora, and i can not stream when connected to wifi...
if i go anywhere else and connect to their wifi everything works fine... why did my phone all of a sudden stop streaming on my network only?
my wifes iphone works fine with all of the above and connected to the chromecast
any help would be great as i am ready to smash this phone

Nothing comes to mind that wouldn't have been solved by everything you've already done... Maybe you will have to buy a new modem?
Just another random thing that might work... try adding a different Google account to your S4A and downloading the streaming apps through that Google account and see if that solves the issue. I believe that specific Google accounts can be limited by developer's based on an auth code that I think is associated with your Google account. Idk why you might be limited, and it seems extremely coincidental that you would be limited by several different developers/provides at the same time, unless Google is for some reason responsible. Please note that I know little about this particular thing so it's a complete stab in the dark but it just might work.
not sure how or why this worked, but maybe it will help someone in the future.
i decided to scan my available wireless networks in range from my phone again.... (not because i was going to mooch from a neighbor ) and noticed that my neighbor had a network labeled "lastname" and "lastname guest".
that got me thinking and reading about my router, i found out that i could set up a "guest" network as well, set it up, connected my phone and only my phone and everything works again, i have no idea why or what happened but it works for now
Hello,
My wife and I are both having similar issues with wifi after updating our phones to lillipop. We can connect to the wifi, but apps that require a login or apps that have an optional login are giving errors saying that there is no network (Network issues, no connection, etc.)
Apps that don't work with wifi: Bank apps, Amazon apps, Twitch, Feedly, Speedtest.net, etc.
Apps that do work on wifi: Chrome, YouTube, Drive, Mail apps, etc.
If we turn off the wifi, everything works fine. We both are running stock phones, I've got the HK M8, and she's got an older M7. There are times when a few of the apps will work for a few minutes, but then the issues come back. My wife's phone is also able to connect to our work wifi, when there, some of the apps that don't work at home will consistently work, but not all of them
We've both been told by HTC to do factory resets and to flash the latest stock RUU. The issue remains even after doing this. I don't really want to do the next step of sending in our phones for 7 to 10 days while they "repair" them.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've also factory reset our router and tried every wifi channel and/or security option, hoping that it is an issue with my wifi router.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can try before having to mail HTC my phone?
Thanks for any help.
Sounds exactly like the problem I had. Factory reseting the router took care of it for me though...

Hey there, i have been using an M8 for two months now and the problem that I have, which fits exactly the description of yours, is starting to annoying me. Every time I try to use these apps which need login I have to turn to mobile data to be able to do it. In my case, the issue that us affecting me the most, is with whatsapp, which even though I do can use, I cannot download media on wifi! (Neither pictures nor voice recordings).
It's a real pain in the neck to be doing this all the time, and I have two friends who also have m8s and are suffering from the same problems, so I guess it's something quite generic. Besides all the other android phones in my family work just fine with my router, so the problem is clearly mine. I think that HTC should have done something about it long time ago if it is such a common issue, considering that the price of the device is not cheap...
Anyway, my question is: have you been able to solve the problem? If you have, would you please take a min to share the solution? I would be deeply grateful!
Cheers and thanks in advance
I am using my HTC One M8 HK with lollipop update from the time they released and never had any problem with wifi. I use wifi wherever I go and no problem with anything. Try the following solutions:
1. Check the WiFi Router. Most of the times it is the problem with your router. Check if there is any restrictions or whitelist/blacklist of services.
2. You might be having some apps with whitelist/backlist running in the background. It could be your antivirus app, battery booster or Opera app, etc which does the wifi whitelist.
3. If you are using the sign-in wifi networks, make sure you signed in to the network using the browser window before opening the app.
4. If you are using the VPN (even in the wifi network) you won't be able to open the apps like Bank apps.
5. If the apps you installed are not supported in your country, you won't be able to access.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. Sometimes, when you upgrade to different OS partitions are not aligned properly. Reinstall and check.
Good luck
I recently went back to stock after Verizon released their 39A update. So far I love it, and they've seemed to fix a lot of what I didn't like about their Kit Kat ROM (mainly the UI design). However, there is something that I've been experiencing that I wanted to share with anyone else on 39A, and see if anyone else has experienced it.
From what I can gather, as soon as I add my work email to my phone, which is an Exchange account, the phone seems to slow to a crawl when it comes to anything to do with data. Browsing the web, downloading stuff from the Play Store, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr... anything that uses either wifi or LTE takes forever to load. The odd thing is that it almost seems like something is halting the data from coming through, and then releases it after a minute or so, and then things download super fast.
After much frustration and testing, I finally saw a pattern. It slowed down almost immediately after I added the Exchange account. Not having my work email on my phone is not an option as I am a IT Help Desk Technician who travels to different locations and need access to my email when not on my laptop or desktop computer.
Eventually, I decided I'd try and see what would happen if I switched the update schedule from Push to Fetch. Voila. Now my phone's fast again. Having my Gmail account set to push doesn't cause any problems. Only my Exchange account.
All that to say, I was wondering if anyone else has had this particular experience, and if so, whether or not they have found a solution or workaround other than the one I found. I concede that this could also have something to do with how my work's Exchange server is set up, or what version of Exchange Server we're running, but this never happened before 39A. Never happened on Stock or any of the other ROMs I've run (CM, Mahdi, etc.), both KitKat and Lollipop.
Hi,
I just upgraded to 39a (xdaddeb version) and I don't have that issue. Did tried with pure stock?
Glad you problem solved the issue. You could also boot the phone into Safe Mode. I was running 5.0.2 and didn't have the problem using 39A with exchange.
So I've meant to update this thread, but I found out that it actually isn't exchange causing the issue. I went a few days without having an exchange account on my computer and it eventually slowed down again same as before. At one point I was playing around with some settings and noticed that my cellular data was set to Global instead of LTE, and when I changed it, it sped up again. Then, a few days later, it slowed down again.
It's a peculiar slowness too; it's as though something is hanging the download for about 20 seconds, and then everything downloads at once. One example is if I "cold" launch Play Store, all the images will be blank for about 10-20 seconds, and then they'll all come in at once. Whenever I am running a custom ROM, in this case Cyanogenmod 12, everything loads almost instantly.
Any time I go back to stock, I use the KDZ method. I have not tried a debloated version of 39A, and at this point I'm burnt out on trying to get stock 39A to work properly. It's so annoying to try and show someone an instagram photo I've taken, only for it to take 20 seconds just to load my gallery.
Update (6/16/2015, 10:37am): So I'm trying xdabbeb's 39A debloated ROM, and so far so good. I've made sure my mobile data system setting is set to LTE and not global, and already it just feels faster and more lightweight than the stock ROM. Less RAM usage as well. I have yet to add an exchange account, and I typically start to experience the slowness once I'm on my home wifi, which I am not right now. I hope this works, I really like LG's lollipop ROM.
Update (6/16/2015, 5:34pm): Just got home and connected to my wireless access point, and still running like a champ. Looks like going debloated was the answer. Must be some bloatware app in the stock version that causes the issue. Not sure exactly what xdabbeb removes from the stock version for his debloated ROM, but kudos man.
