I have an issue where the Wifi works fine for all the apps except the browsers.
Speedtest, Network Discovery etc all work fine on Wifi, but when I try to load a webpage, both the built in, and Dolphin browsers throw a "Web page not available" error - even after killing them and starting again.
Anyone else have the same issues?
And on another note, the compass sucks. Every time I start a compass app, it says I need to calibrate, even after doing so it will only work for a while......
Forgot to mention, the browsers will work on wifi if I restart the phone, but when I change to a different wifi network, I need to restart again.

hi all!
i have received my desire the day before yesterday and am so far pretty pleased with it, only one thing slightly worries me:
i use a wi-fi connection. at some times everything works fine, the browser's loading fast and the market works. but then, without any reason, there seems to be a data connection problem, the handset can't access the internet in all programs whatsoever. the weird thing is, the wi-fi connection is still fully up and running. some time later, it starts working again.
i experienced this issue in the standard browser as well as the dolphin one and also tested it once over 3g. nothing changes.
anyone having a solution or did i just receive a faulty device?
cheers,
superior
Yeah I get that if I'm on 3g nothing works market browser etc but if I'm on 3g+ it works fine. This happens every 10 minutes on average for me and its annoying
Hey guys.
I'm on stock rom 2.2. I'm having issues with getting apps to download in market over wifi.
When I click on the button to install, I get a notification saying that the app is downloading, but after it has finished, it says download unsuccessful. However, if I turn wifi off and use 3G, it completes the download just fine and continues with the installation.
I have also rooted my phone and am using Lou's #8 kernel at the moment, but this has been an issue ever since I got the phone and connected it to my wireless network.
Everything else works perfectly fine with my wifi... internet, mail, etc. I guess Market just doesn't like my wifi? I've tried resetting my router, changing my network password, etc.
I'm at a loss... it's starting to irritate me. Anyone know what might be happening?
Anyone have any ideas on the cause of this?
I can watch videos on youtube and facebook while on 3G, but when on WiFi youtube and facebook videos errors out. I can watch youtube fine using a PC on the same WiFi network. I am on stock rooted LG8.
Things I've tried.
removing all youtube updates, reboot
clearing youtube data, reboot
uninstalling busybox, reboot
removing adblock (restoring original hosts file), reboot
I don't want to do a full factory reset. Anyone got any ideas?
I get this issue sometimes on my phone. I find that restarting the phone makes the problem go away for awhile. Also, try resetting your wifi connection. Hold your finger on the connection in wifi settings and select "forget"...then add the hotspot again. I think this is a bug within the stock LG8 ROM. Install BlazerROM, haven't had any issues since I did this.
Well, I have restarted the phone numerous times without any improvement, but I never thought of deleting the WiFi connection and recreating it. That did it. Thanks.
i'm having this same problem.. youtube works over 3G but i get "connection to server lost" when i try to stream a video while connected to wifi.
already tried several methods and same problem. i'm stock and unrooted.. i wonder if having wifi setup with static IP (no DHCP) has anything to do with it..
really hope they fix this problem because it's really lame.
Edit: it looks like it does have to do with having wifi setup as static IP.. found this thread with someone having the same problem, yet no fix.. pretty ridiculous Google/Samsung, not sure which of the two is to blame..
I attempted to download an app from Google Play yesterday and noticed the download was running very slow so i stopped it and re-tried it a few times. It then stalled and would not download at all so I closed Google Play store and went back into it, now I get 'No Connection' in the center of the screen and Google Play will not work. I have since tried my stock Android browser and I get 'Web page not available' and also Youtube and Amazon app store have similar issues. However, what doesn't make sense is that some Internet based apps work fine and Dolphin browser works fine too. If I switch off Wi-Fi and connect to 3G everything works fine so the issue lies with the Wi-Fi connection. My wife who has the same phone can connect and use the Wi-Fi fine without any issues and any other Internet device I have is still working as it should be. It appears it is only my phone with the issue.
I have tried checking date/time which is correct.
I have reset cache and cleared data for both the browser, Youtube and Google Play
I have rebooted my phone and my broadband router
I have tried changing the security settings to from WPA2-PSK (AES) to WPA/WPA2-PSK (Mixed Mode)
All to no avail.
I have rooted Android 4.3 but it has been working fine for over a year before now. I would want to avoid doing a factory reset at all costs as I have some important apps that can't be backed up with the likes of Helium and some other forums have shown that a factory reset has not resolved the issue.
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
After a day of trying to resolve this issue I have finally managed to fix it. This may be useful for anyone else having the same issue:
I went into my Wi-Fi settings and looked for my router in the list and did a long tap on the name and chose 'Forget Network' so it removes my router. I then did a re-scan so it picked it back up. When tapping it, this time I was able to re-enter my Wi-Fi password and connect. After doing this everything started working again.
I've no idea why all of a sudden the network failed to work correctly but at least it is now sorted. I just don't understand why some Internet access worked and others did not. I guess I shall never know!
I've been facing issues on my Mi A2 Lite ever since the Pie update in December. These issues have been persistent on my WiFi and it has gotten to a point where I'm inclined to change my phone. Keep in mind that the same WiFi works fine everywhere else. Here are the issues:
1. Browsing
I've tried a few browsers but the issue is on all of them. What happens is that the first couple of searches are normal but after that the page is stuck on loading and maybe after 10-20 minutes it might open that page. The error 'Bad network connection. please wait' pops up everytime this happens
2. Facebook
It literally doesn't run. Newsfeed stays the same, comments can't be loaded, groups can't be visited etc. It acts like my WiFi isn't turned on even though it is.
3. WhatsApp
Messages work fine but if I try to send a picture or video to somebody it never goes through.
4. Twitter
Twitter and Facebook have the same issue. Sometimes when I'm using it on mobile data and switch back to WiFi it works fine but that is not very often and doesn't last for too long.
All these issues happen both when the WiFi and Bluetooth is turned on and when only WiFi is turned on. None of these issues happen on mobile data. And the same WiFi works fine on other devices like I have said before.
Has anybody faced this issue? Is there any solution (I have tried pretty much everything)?

Nobody!
Try To Factory Reset!
Yes wifi + Bluetooth issues... I don't know if this has been fixed I have given up on January
Personally didn't see all the issues you describe, but I will concur the WiFi is wonky at times. Even seems like the signal strength is weakened by stock ROM.
I was on the last security patch recently and was trying to watch YouTube on a public WiFi and nothing was loading, thought maybe there was a restriction as switching to VPN connection I was able to view no problem.
I recently switched to paranoid android and WiFi signal is noticeably stronger, and on the same network I was having issues, YouTube plays fine now. I am only a couple days into using PA, but my opinion is it is preforming much better than xiaomi releases.
