Dear all,
I get regularly some problem of connection with the android web browser.
When I am connectd to wifi, some applications connect (what app, skype) but some others no (shazam, tuneIn).
In addition when I start the web browser, the load bar remains stuck at 10% and the screen displays "webpage not available".
Do you have any idea to solve this issue?
For information I am using a VPN but the issue happen also when I disconnect it !
Thanks for your help and advice.

[Q] "Web page not available"

I have a peculiar problem and i guess, from google search results, that many others have similar problem.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S 2 mobile phone.
Of late, the default Browser application on my samsung galaxy s2 just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
I generally use default browser to access the web and this used to work perfectly. Of late it has developed this problem. I then tried Dolphine, Miren, Skyfire and this also did the same!
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well. Only In browser, which was downloaded prior to this problem, works fine.
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files that the default Browser, Dolphin and Skyfire use.
Any ideas?
You can also reach me on [email protected].
Hoping that someone here would be able to resolve this issue.

I had this problem. Browser worked fine on 3G and would not work on wi-fi even though all apps worked. I fixed this by deleting the Proxy setting - Wi-Fi settings > menu Advanced > Proxy and clear the field. Works OK now.
thanks for response, but it does not solve my problem.
i hope any senior member would come forward on this problem.
Hi, i got the same problem, is Access Point Names problem. Please go Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->and choose the DIGI/CELCOM/MAXIS internet. * choose according what telco you using.
solved: use packet data
Hi- Samsung Galaxy S2 with same problem. Also could not attach pictures to text messages, and phone stuck on "downloading" a message of type "multimedia message notification"; both of which may be related issues?
This helped me: make sure "use packet data" is checked at:
settings\wireless and network\mobile networks
(It may have been cancelled by letting my battery die?)

Galaxy S2 Data connectivity problem

Hello everyone! I've encountered a substantial problem with my galaxy s2 and I would like your help, if possible.
This problem is related to the mobile network. Each time I try to connect to a website I get some kind of error, from 'Data connectivity problem' to 'Server failed to communicate' and even the traditional 'Web page not available'.
Note: There are a couple of websites that seem to work, such as: m.orange, m.facebook.com and m.yahoo.com.
At this point I would like to mention that Wi-Fi works as intended, with no problems whatsoever.
As for the mobile network, I believe I have the right settings resembled in the APN settings. Data connection is turned on, and I have tried both GSM and 3G. I have also tried different internet browsers, such as Opera, with the same result: only m.orange, m.facebook and m.yahoo seem to work.
It is quite frustrating at times not to have access to a mobile network. I would like to add that this problem remains to any apps that need a network connection in order to run. Therefore, I cannot run anything (Android Market, Google Maps, Youtube app, etc etc).
Thank you for your time. Please advise!
First of all, double check APN settings, see if your provider has an app in the market, or sometimes you can send an SMS and they'll sms you settings.
Secondly, try another modem, you may have a weak modem, before doing this download speedtest and check your connection speed and post that up. To see hows well it's connecting.
Thirdly, check your operators website to make sure they are not having network difficulties in your area.
Is their a setting that turns standard web pages off because that's what it looks like .

Visit the webpage of your service provider. Usually on their support page you can have their data/mms settings sent to you by sms which then will be "auto-installed" on your phone. Good luck!

[Q] Help. Problem with 3G Internet on Droid RAZR

Hello guys! I’ve got XT910 since December 2011, everything was OK, but few days ago something happened and my 3g Internet doesn’t work anymore. At first I thought that it problem with my cellular communication operator, but I checked my SIM-card on another phone and found that 3g Internet works properly. Another 2 reasons that makes me think that problem is in my phone, it’s:
First, I still have a symbol of 3G connection on top of display, and when I make request a page from browser the arrows on this symbol start highlight in both direction, but browser says “Web page not available”. And second, sometimes I use Orbot for anonymous browsing, and yesterday I found that Orbot can connect to server, I checked Orweb browser and I found that Internet works on it as before. I install Proxymator, and redirect all my internet traffic through Orbot, and all browsers and applications that require Internet connection start work properly. But I didn’t find the root cause why I couldn’t connect to 3g internet direct. Maybe somebody can help me? Sorry for my English.
Sounds like something is blocking it. Have you installed anything recently?

[Q] Error 491 only on wifi

At home i got a gigabit router/1gbps internet connection that works like a charm on all my pcs and my windows phone, but on android i encounter quite a big problem. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 lite with 3g that can download and update apps with no problem over 3g but when i connect it to wifi it starts going berzerk, crashing all google apps and giving me error 491 when i try to download anything. Also I got two more android phones with 2.3 that can't get Whatsapp started over my wifi but over any other connection don't encounter any trouble, which i find very odd because my sister's 4.1.2 android has no problem with wifi at all. I don't even know where to start.. I tried playing with my wifi router settings with no luck.. Is it an android problem? And I don't even know if I should call my ISP retarded tech support and try to make them understand my problem or just try to install some custom rom and get rid of the stupid samsung-modified android 4.2.2 (also my main problem is the tablet)
