"yesterday I played on it fine, and after I had played, I messed round with the apns.. "
Define messed around with the apns (when everything was working properly)? I assume you changed some settings with your apns and messed something up.
What ROM are you using? Stock? Custom?

Yea I changed the settings around... and its stock froyo frf91

Well. Nothing else to do than checking if your APN settings are correct then.
Find your carrier here:

And see if something is needs corrected.

I had this problem once. I was at the gym using Pandora, and all of a sudden it stopped. The 3G icon was only showing the arrow pointing to the device lit up, not the one going away. (which is outboud I think?).
Anyway, I turned on airplane mode, and turned it off, and it fixed the service problem.
Haven't had it since. I think it may have been a problem with a kernel I was using.

Ok great, ill try both options... thanks guys Thanks a lot

Having the same issue, web pages won't load . Apn settings are fine, just can't load a web page. Using kang o rama, oc. Flashed another rom seemed like same issue, emother rom. Tried reboot, airplane mode, etc and no luck. Is it the radio ? Or kernel? Download dolphin browser ?

fixed.....
have alittle searching, it was the apn settings for me. Not sure why this is though, I had it set up like this before and it worked perfectly fine.
Name cbw internet
apn... wap.gocbw.com
proxy...216.68.79.202
port 80
these were my orginal settings when I first started with the n1, these worked fine, no issues what so ever till update to froyo 91 or so. Anyways I went back into my apn settings and took out the proxy & port numbers, this seems to have fixed my issue with being able to use the browser on the n1, note with the settings listed above I was still able to tether and have facebook, gmail, hotmail, and everything else sync, just no browser option on the n1. Hope this helps...

internet connection failing

My hero seems like it should be headed for the trash. Over the past few days I have been noticing problems getting my gmail to sync, browsing the internet and looking up things in the marketplace. I am running stock 1.5 that was rooted. That is it. I have tried going to setting and updating profile then rebooting but doesnt seem to have solved the problem. I also just tried flashing cyanogenmod 6.1.0 release and I was unable to sign into my google account at startup??
The phone does show an internet connection. Opera browser doesnt appear to be having any issues, but any other app does... any advise would be great!

I'm having the exact same problem. I have no idea what to do, I've tried everything for 4 hours now. My internet is so sketchy. Everything from google maps losing connection, to facebook, to a weather widget I have not even getting the weather. Its insane

i'll take the phone to a dumb sprint rep if needed, but what about if they see FLIPZ_PRI and stuff on the phone because it has been rooted? There has to be something here to fix the problem?

If you figure it out let us all know because i am having the same problem. I have done just about everything i can think of. From reflashing roms to 5 different kernals and even different roms nothing helps.
Good luck

well if a lot of people are having the same problem doesnt that seem to sound like a sprint issue??? i have no idea what updating prls and profiles due, but something isnt right.

Been having similar issues myself. From what I've been reading it's a Google server issue which is why you can still browse the web etc... but still like the market isn't working correctly.
Don't take my word for it though...

Internet problems
I've had the same issue on and off all day. I first noticed youtube not working, then facebook and then voice. YouTube wasn't working for a few hours, facebook a few minutes and voice just got working again; all my problems started sometime this morning 10ish.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0, 2.42.01.04.27 Baseband, 60670PRL and my kernel is Decad3nc #11

Sprint is currently havng 3G issues, Chicago looks to be fixed (maybe)

as of the last 30 minutes to an hour, all is right with the market and internet on my phone... "YAAAYYY... and there was much rejoicing".... we'll see if it holds

It's a google problem, nothing to do with the phone or the rom

Yeah, Chicago was fixed today. Yesterday I couldn't use Navigation because there wasn't a connection being made to Google's navigation servers.

Yeah, they're systematically fixing it, but it's taking awhile

Captivate wifi fix?

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..

Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?

I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.

I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...

Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.

Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..

I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.

i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

[Q] Wi-Fi network discovery issue

Last week, my Hero suddenly stopped being able to see my home network. All the other networks around me are visible, but not my home network. I tried the Wi-Fi FXR app on the market, but that didn't work at all. Did a full wipe and installed a fresh new ROM, and I *still* can't see my network. Even manually entering the info for it did nothing.
I can connect to other networks on my Hero, and all my other devices at home can see and connect to my network perfectly fine. Does anybody have any idea what else I can try? Having tried a different ROM and a full wipe of everything, I'm at a loss now.
Edit: Tried actually *formatting* system/data/cache, then installing a different ROM (CM6 this time). Still no luck. My home network never shows up on the list, but all others do. Rebooted my modem and router, even changed the security to just WEP (was WPA2 before, which worked just fine before this randomly happened). I can't understand how, without doing anything, my Hero just suddenly refuses to see my wireless network. It can't just suddenly be incompatible with my router after working just fine with dozens of ROMs and a couple years under their belt.

i feel your pain
when i turn on wifi on my hero, no matter what rom it is, i can see all the other access points right away. but my ssid wont pop up, i have to wait a good 3 minutes until it pops up and connects. have you tried waiting longer for it to show up? worth a shot.

I tried letting it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. I'll let it sit next to my router for a longer time and see if that does anything.

I let it sit for a few hours, but nothing popped up. Tried a few hours with and without the network being manually saved for connecting to. Definitely something odd going on here. Also tried connecting to other networks to see if maybe it'd do something, but that didn't make my home network show up either. I'm at a dead-end here, and I assume the lack of replies means nobody else has any other ideas either... lol.

the only thing i can tell you is ruu that sucker, usually when something goes haywire stock will fix it. hope you get it working, sounds like a major pain
edit: if your up to it, flash a stock rom from clockworkmod recovery and try it before going the ruu route, its worth a shot. i see you tried cyanogenmod, couldnt hurt to try a stock rom.

Thanks, I forgot about that. After so many Android phones, I start to forget which tricks fix which phones... lol. Currently I'm used to "Superwipe your phone if anything goes wrong". Unfortunately, I know of no such thing for the Hero.
But running an RUU is a great idea, and I should've thought of it. I'll be doing that out as soon as I get off work
Edit: Just installed an official RUU successfully, but... still can't find my wireless network. Seriously... I have no idea how that couldn't work. The router is fine, the phone is fine, and they've communicated with each other just fine for the last two years. Nothing has changed for this to happen. For as complete a wipe as installing an RUU does, this just doesn't make any sense.

Try changing your router to chanel 11. Then in your hero WiFi settings make sure its on 11 as well. See if that helps.

Have you checked the settings on your router? It may be that somehow your router blocks your Mac address or something like that.

Slow wifi solution finnaly found! Fix works!

HEY GUYS I HAVE FINNALY FOUND THE REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. New to this FORUM btw, but I read it alot. I've been posting responses all over different threads but no one has responded so I figured I make my own post. It's like a miracle to me and I hope people see this or see my other responses on other forums. Because I almost lost my mind over this and returned my s6 edge.
I have the s6 Edge on Verizon and even though I'm showing full wifi signal and so was my wife's s5(she's on att&t) neither of us could barely get a page to load. I've done everything. Set manual channels. Disabled everything you can think of that might cause it on the phone. Disabled ipv6 in the router settings. Factory reset. Cache clean. Anything you can think of I've done it. Even tried to manually change the DNS to Google or something else. That didn't work but DNS IS THE PROBLEM. There's a problem with lollipop and DNS. And they are probably going to send an update eventually to fix it but I wasn't about to wait and I know my wife's s5 wouldn't get it.
So I was ready to return it. Anyway out if nowhere I found THE SOLUTION AND THE APP THAT FIXES IT IMMEDIATELY TODAY. Go to the to the play store and download DNS SET. Forget your connection and re enter your WiFi password(you only have to do this the first time, after that just connect as usual) . Then open the DNSet app and check off auto run. Then hit the run button. INSTANT FIX! I SWEAR TO GOD. You have no idea how happy I was to see this work. I stopped a it and reopened it many times to see if it would always work and it does. Instant loads. Super fast speed. Christ I was outside of my house and even there everything was loading instantly like it should. YouTube instantaneous. Anything. It fixes the problem. Believe me I went through this and it works and it takes 5 mins to do it at most. It's was a life savor. Don't return your phone or get frustrated and say screw it. This works and I couldn't wait to frigging share it with everyone because I know how can frustrating it is. I was about to return my s6 edge today. Swear to God. The only thing it didn't work in was my friends s5 on sprint and I don't know why. Something to do with sprint maybe. But it definitely works with verizon and attt. I'm even getting a great signal on the xfinity open wifi while I'm lg work truck so it's even saving my data use. I'm friggin ecstatic.
JUST A HEADS UP, I did leave the ipV6 disabled on my router and I still have WiFi direct disabled on my phone because I was afraid to change anything after this worked. Might have nothing to do with it but if for some crazy reason this app doesn't work, disable that and it will be fine. All my other settings on the router are normal. Auto channel and AES/TPIK are still on. Anyway This works and I was happy to help so I posted. Let me know of it works u for you guys. And spread the word so people aren't dealing with this ****. It's not right. Let me know how you make out. Take care

Really Worked!
Thanks man for your sharing! :good::good::good:
But I have a question .
Will I have to keep "DNSET" app always in my device ?
