Wimax connects fine but will not load web pages

First let me say i'm sorry that i didn't find information regarding this issue by searching but I cant seem to find information describing the exact problem i'm having.
I have nand unlocked and while i can connect to wimax, i can not load any pages to completion. The browser progress bar moves but will never finish. I'm about ready to do the start over method. I know it worked at some point, but way to many things have changed since i knew it worked. My MAC appears correct when i do the wimax_mtd in terminal emulator. Does anybody have any insight into my particular problem? Thanks for any help...

I am having this same problem on the most recent Fresh. The page loads very quickly but the progress bar never finishes.
This happens only while connected on wimax. FWIW, I'm pulling up to 13mbps downlink.

It's because of the HOSTS file and/or using AdFree, open said program, and switch from use 127.0.0.1 to use BTC IP

Most recent versions of AdFree have removed BTC IP (it was slamming their servers).
You can try 0.0.0.0 for a custom IP and see how that goes.

can you explain more in detail

First, do you use the program "AdFree"?

I tried 0.0.0.0 and still seems to be doing the same thing, but not as frequently. Any other ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem and it's driving me crazy. It will get 80% full and just stop. It stops so long that it kicks the browser back to 3g to complete the page since 4g stalls.

I'm using rls5 and adfree host files are built in. I also have the app so I can update host files since they already expired since the rom was built.. I have this problem with any rom.

[Q] WIFI Unable to connect....

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help

I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*

yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?

so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

[Q] Cannot get internet via Wifi tether anymore

I hope I'm in the correct forum...
I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!

Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

That was one of the other tether apps I tried...that and barnacle...I downloaded and tried it again and it still didn't work...thanks for the info!

I tried the top 3 but none worked...I don't think thats the problem though because tethering worked up until Thursday and then it stopped for all apps. I had that app working before...thanks again

One last ditch effort, try changing the channel to channel one in one of the wireless tether app, just saw a post where this fixed the problem for some people. Good luck

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though

Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.

I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO

does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again

It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...

Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

Incredible CM7 and tethering unstable

Hello,
Hope to get some help on this. I've got an Inc rooted with CM7 build # 29. Using the built in tethering with windows 7, I get a lot of strange behavior. Everything shows like it's connected, but some web pages fail to load, or if i'm downloading a large file it quits a fraction of the way into the download. If i refresh a few times it may start again like nothing and actually quite fast. But this only seems to work in short bursts and then quits again.
I've searched all over the forums only to find solutions pointing to PDA net or some other app. I feel this is not a proper fix though since the native tethering is supposed to be better and everybody says with root you do not need a paid app for accesing secure sites.
Maybe the fix is buried somewere in the older threads and someone can point me out to it. Anyways any help is appreciated and thanks all ahead of time.

Hey,
I've been experiencing this issue as well, except I had it tethered to my iPad. It said I didn't have an Internet connection when I loaded up a page in Safari. Perhaps it's because I've installed a different kernel? I cannot seem to find the cause of this issue.

Haven't tried tethering on CM7, but I had the same problem on the rooted stock rom with wifi-tether app.

Try "wireless tether for root users" from the market or google it. It works well for me most of the time.

[Q] Android market not working in Italy

So I brought my A100 to Italy and android market does not work. My email app doesnt work. All it keeps saying no connection. I've restarted it several times and every time it will say i have an update. But when i try to update it will give me no connection again. I've tried updating the market by downloading it somewhere else and even resetting it to factory. Stil nothing... Also its not rooted.
Has anyone had this happen to them traveling abroad?

Have you tried checking to see if you actually have internet access? Sounds like your either not connected to the internet or your internet connection is being heavily limited by a firewall.

I have this tablet in Italy. Android market works, like all google "apps"...

well cant really access the market to download that. Also tried connecting with another wifi spot and nothing.
Just to clarify wifi is working just fine. i can connect to the internet and browse normally. Just wont allow me to access the market and my email for some weird reason.

Ok so i found out what the problem was. Market auto updated to a bad version. Only way to fix it at the moment is a factory reset... good bye pre-loaded gamestop games
