[Q] Have internet - but can't browse... - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Hope someone can assist. I have a stock Tab, and entered all the suggested APN settings. I now have 3G (Can text, call, recieve calls etc...), and I can use internet apps, such as Facebook, Market etc. However, using the stock internet browser ... nothing. Web page cannot be displayed. I can't browse. When I get into Wifi connectivity, then it all works fine...
So, under 3G, I have internet, but can't browse.
I have upgraded to Gingerbread, and still have the same issues. Any ideas what can just block browsing, but allow everything else? The only common things I guess, is my APN settings... the device it's self ... and my network.
I'm in Australia, using TPG as my provider..

try grabbing another browser in the market like opera mini which is amazing. If that solves the problem then its something to do with the installation of the UI or Android on your device. Either restore to factory settings. If neither work you may have a port issue on your APN settings as different internet services work differently. So triple check with your carrier.
But if Opera or another browser works then I would suggest restore factory settings and if they don't work with stock browser then call Sammy and they will do a full reset on the device and or replace it. They are not that bad at doing this.
Hope this helps.

dolphin hd is better browser... just my suggestion.

Love with opera that it has link and my home screens and bookmarks all sync to my phone and tab.
That for me is reason enough .. But Di like dolphin too >:~)

Miren and opera are definitely the best, doplin just seems to bloated and fat for my liking

No one uses Firefox??

Tried ff some nice features but bloated to hell and buggy
Maybe whenbits bit more stable will give it a run

[FIXED]Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock

Hi,
The stock browser and dolphin hd doesn't connect over 3g what so ever after I updated to Froyo. Market, speedtest and opera mini all work just fine so it's a little weird.
Over wifi all is good as well. I've done restarts and checked settings but no luck.
Another issue I have is that I can't seem to get launcher pro or dolphin hd to be default.
Would be nice if anyone had some insight on this, I would prefer to not wipe.
Im having the same problem with the stock browser but skyfire is working just fine for me.
Re: Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock
All good here guys, no problems at all

set up the APN manually
Re: Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock
It is set up manually since I just updated and didn't wipe. The settings haven't changed, but I guess I could try that and/or run the update again.
Edit:
Fixed it by reset to default in APN settings. Wasn't totally correct for my carrier, but I changed one small thing and it worked.
Only wondering how defaults work in froyo now...
mine is not working
all apps that use internet are fine . except the browser

I've a sim free N1 in the UK with a three (carrier) SIM. Exactly the same problem with the browser over 3G, but no issues over wifi. Opera mini works fine though. Changing the APN to "reset to default" fixed everything!
Thanks
resartig to defults will remove the settings how will that help me
Sorry to be a pain in the backside as well... I have the same problem. i re-entered the APN settings manually. And still can not get the browser to connect over 3g.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just as a side not, upon reset to default, it completly wipes whatever setting there is. And I'm currently in Saudi Arabia, after buying the phone while in the US from Tmobile [it is unlocked.]
Thanks.

There are loads of built-in carrier settings in the OS, if it removes all settings your carrier does not have their settings in the OS.
When I reset to default it came up with settings for my carrier, but it was for the wrong country so I just tweaked it a little bit.
I don't know what actually fixed it though, but the reset to default did the trick for me.
What I can tell you though is what the APN is defined as:
APN type: default,supl,mms
So with the default settings one APN is used for everything (browsing, mms and AGPS).
3g issues
I have been having 3g issues too. When I checked into the APN settings I found that there were things entered into the password and server fields. My problems were always off and on, but they seem to be better after clearing those out. I have no idea how those fields may have had values entered in them.
althought it may seem like a really stupid solution, but it worked for me.
I just cleared the proxy and port settings while in the edit access point.
And it worked... shouldn't be that way. but it works now
I'm still having this problem. Updated to Froyo from stock and browser worked for a while. Now it's just stopped over 3G
Market and everything else works over 3G but the browser won't load up any pages.
I've checked the APN settings and they are correct for Orange UK Pay Monthly. I've also opened the browser settings and reset to default.
Any other ideas?
Fixed it.
Opened the APN settings and deleted the APN. Then clicked the list button to open the settings and chose "reset to defaults"

This worked for me too.
Right now I have just entered the "APN_name" in the APN settings, I have left Server, Proxy, Port blank.
Market, Mail Opera, Other apps used to work before, but Browser wouldn't. Now everything is working.
Someone should explain what is happening.
I have the same issue here. Even deleting the APN settings and reloading the defaults didn't fix. Everything works on Wi-Fi, but The stock browser and the Dolphin HD borwser don't work on 3G. Tweetdeck, Firefox, Tumblr, Facebook, Foursquare, all the others apps works on both. Does someone have an idea why?

Nexus one "web page not abailable" error

Please someone help me!!!
The default Browser application on my Nexus one just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
Therefor I generally use Opera Mini to access the web and this works perfectly, it was only happen when I used the Dolphin Browser or Default browser and realised that both had the same issue.
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well.(Market,Gmail,Twitter,Youtube...) As I said above the Opera Mini browser works is the only browser that work for browsing internet
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files / Radios / Kernals ect..
And also im using Froyo from hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686593
Any ideas to get rid of this??????
I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you find a fix for it?
Same issue for me and its really pissing me off because Opera sucks as a browser!

[Q] Email force closes on serendipity 6.4

I flashed my first rom successfully yesterday, serendipity 6.4. Everything's great except 2 things so far; 1. my default browser doesn't work, my skyfire works but I liked the default best. 2. I added email thru the kitchen but every time I open it it force closes. Any suggestions?
How is the default browser functioning incorrectly? Need a little more detail than that to help.
"Web page not available" is what comes up whenever I open the default browser or google search. My skyfire browser works so I assume any other browser I get would work. But I really liked that one. It's like not connected to my internet. It might be a setting that I can't find, idk. I should see if it works on wifi maybe. Only my only wifi connection is myself...

[Q] Browser not working on 3G, but FB/Market/Other work

I recently installed MIUI v 1.9.30, and despite my previous experiences with MIUI I really like this one, despite one thing.
I've found that while on 3G (Bell Mobility Canada), I can download from the Market and browse Facebook, but I cannot use the browser (Charming Browser). When attempting to load Google, for example, the loading bar will progress about 10% and then stop there.....
Funny thing is, when using Dolphin Browser the same thing occurs, and it gives a webpage cannot be displayed error. I've tried looking in both browser settings but I can't figure it out, because they work fine on WIFI.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Clear cookies and other browsing history and then retry bud

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help =/
I went as fat as trying a factory reset and the problem still occurred. I posted asking for help on the miui website but haven't gotten any response yet.

V10k3 questions

How do I use the 3d converter for other games can it be used for emulators? I heard you could play Mario mart 3d and n64 games in 3d and I'm very curious as to how. And how do I know if i am getting the H+ speeds? Sorry in advance I guess I'm stupid. I did the pre rom install then the V10k3 install that's what I'm running now.
Oh and also when I long press on the games I don't get the pop up menu with the 3d options. A message just says it force closes.

Yes you can use 3d convert with emulation. N64 works beter than fpse. To use 3d convert. Open the 3d converter than click menu (the key pad of the phone) then choose the emulators. That it. Just start the game.

I also have a question, with this and every other rom I flash, I don't get data out of the box, so I change my APN settings and I can get data but no INTERNET. Internet specifically. I can download anything, apps, etc. but when it comes to a browser (and I've tried plenty) it won't connect unless I'm on Wifi. Can anybody help me? Is there an extra APN setting I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
heres a backup of mine
Tried using your backups and I'm still getting the exact same thing. Even tried a version with the wap [at] cingulargprs [dot] com as the username and the password CINGULAR1. the crazy thing is this worked on the stock rom which I hate because my 3D videos won't play and it has random reboots). With these settings I can seriously use any app that uses data, and even download other apps, but no browser. Crazy. Thanks for the help though, do you know of any other APN settings people use? Having a hard time finding settings for this phone.
UPDATE: Got it! I made another APN and kept the Proxy and Port blank. Worked. Thanks again for everything!
