At times, my phone appears to be only be able to access https sites when I am using T-mobile 4G. It works fine on wifi. I've tried several browsers. Some apps can connect and some cannot. If I specifically type in https on what normally directs to an http site it works, but a lot of sites redirect back to the http and it wont work. It does work when I use Orbot proxy app along with their browser. The problem isn't always existent, sometimes my internet is working perfectly fine and sometimes it isn't and sometimes it'll switch back and forth in short intervals.
I'm running Android 4.4.4 and haven't had any system updates recently. I don't think it is from any apps i updated or installed recently. My phone is not rooted.
Any ideas before I factory reset my phone?
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

I took my G1 to school today and tried to connect to the WiFi there. It is an open network, but it requires you to login using your school account via a website. Usually, when I connect with my laptop and open my browser, I get automatically redirected to the login page.
With my G1, the browser can't load a single page. It says connected to the network, but I have no actual internet access, and can't get to that login page.
Any idea how I can get around this?
Thanks
I have the same issue at my work. I have a captive portal that does not seem to redirect properly on the G1. Other phones seem to like it just fine. My work around is to add my mac to the auth bypass, but this only works because I am the actual admin for the wireless network.
try finding the address your laptop connects to and bookmarking it on the G1 and see if it lets you pull it up that way.
As I am pretty certain entering the redirect URL won't work (though I am trying it tonight) is there ANYTHING else anyone can think of changing or looking at? I had the same issue on my old Nokia N80, but only recently.
As predicted, the URL method did not work. Tried many variations and still no luck. Any further thought on this, or if the G1 will ever support Enterprise authentication?

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hello people!
I'm having a lot of difficulties trying to make my Galaxy S surfing on the net correctly... No matter what I do, I get 99% of the time this error message: "Web page not available". Sometimes it works, but very rarely. I'm using my home wifi connexion, and I tried every single browser I have: stock browser, Dolphin, xScope... only Opera Mini is working and loading pages normally.
I tried to load pages on MIUI, then on Simplicity, S.U.R.F.A.C.E. then Hybrid... nothing changes, still not able to load pages. I did a clean flashing of a stock JVQ with repartition and I finished with a hard reset after that... still nothing! One thing is that I'm able to load my router's configuration page (at 192.168.1.1). But I simply cannot connect to internet pages like Google, Facebook, Youtube, XDA etc...
I tried other devices on the same router and it's working fine: an iPhone, a Nokia phone, a laptop, a desktop. I tried another router, but nothing...
I have had the same problem, until I have updated my firmware
If you can't right now use Opera mini or Firefox portable. They use their own browser base, and should work fine
On normal data (3G) you can surf on these websites?
Whats about apps?
If you cannot connect through apps do the following:
Go to the setuppage of your router.
Type in your password and login.
Look for the WLAN settings.
Go to devices and look, if your device is in that list.
If yes:
Did you maybe block port 80 for your device?
If not:
Did you typed in the correct password?
Does your router accept new devices? (WLAN extended settings)

I had a very similar problem where I could only load in sites in opera mini (i assumed it must be something to do with opera mini rerooting traffic through their servers or something) but skyfire, dolphin, stock, opera mobile all would not work. Apps all worked fine like whatsapp, viber, and so on. This happened after i accidentally used the sim toolkit on my phone and it sent "browser settings".
For me deleting and redoing my APN settings fixed it but that would only work if your problem was on 3g. Worth a try anyway.
Thanks for your quick answers

That's what I'm actually doing: I'm using Opera Mini. But it's not as good as other browsers such as Dolphin. I can do a firmware update, or downgrade even, if it is a firmware related issue. I'm actually on JVR.

We still do not have 3G in my country.
Other apps are working fine, they can connect and download data, not everytime but much more than browsers. For example, market would not immediatly download new apps, it takes sometimes 2 or 3 tries. Anyway, I think they're working fine.
I checked my router's configuration to see if port 80 was blocked for my Galaxy S, but it's not. Actually I set it on DMZ mode to see if it will work, but no result.
And I couldn't find something to allow new devices on my router. But I guess it's not a problem since anything I tried to connect to it before worked fine.

I tried to connect on another router, from another place, and it worked. I installed a DD-WRT firmware on the router on which I wasn't able to connect but nothing changed... could it be the router hardware itself? The strange thing is that everything else is working on it (iPhone, laptop, desktop, other phones...).
Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
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
TL;DR
Upgraded Android to latest on T-Mobile, only SSL connections load. Also can't send MMS messages. Factory reset after the upgrade, still having issues. No idea what causes it, but rebooting the phone sometimes makes the issues go away for a while (might as well be running Windows). The issues seem to happen at random but all happen at once and don't go away once they start.
I have an odd issue that after a little bit of Googling, I haven't been able to find anything on (outside of app developers forgetting the internet permission in their manifest file). I held off on upgrading my phone from 5.0.1 AOC9 for a long time because I had rooted it right after the release and I just never got around to it when others confirmed they could root newer versions. Everything was working until I decided to use Smart Switch to upgrade from AOC9 to the latest 5.1.1 DOJC. After the upgrade I used Odin to flash TWRP and Unikernel for root and it worked fine for a few hours until I noticed I could no longer send MMS messages (receiving them works perfectly fine). I also noticed certain apps would tell me I had no network connection and I knew this was wrong because apps like Facebook were still working perfectly fine on 4G and my WiFi. Eventually I started clicking links from Facebook and noticed some would load and others wouldn't. It took a few links to notice that anything that wasn't loading over an SSL connection would give the message "This site can't be reached. $SITE refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
After all of those issues started happening I finally got pissed enough to factory reset, forgot about FRP and had to factory reset again using Smart Switch. I flashed TWRP/Unikernel again and I'm right back to having the issues. Has anyone ever come across anything like this before? I'm getting frustrated enough that I might just swap out the sim and use my G3 for a while until I can sort this out. If there is any kind of log I can post that will help I can post that as well. I tried using adb logcat while attempting to open a site that fails, but I didn't see anything that looked useful. Just calls to my keyboard and chrome opening.
EDIT: Completely forgot to try pinging. I am able to ping any normal HTTP site from a terminal emulator. They're all reachable from my phone. I came across a post from a Comcast customer with a similar issue, although not for Android specifically. The work around was to connect to a VPN service, so I also tried this. Still no luck.
