Wimax connects fine but will not load web pages - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Good call... I am using ad free. What is the BTC ip? I don't see the option or another ip listed.

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] 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!

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

[Q] Specific website not loading?

So, I recently updated my ROM to ◄ Stock Plus ► v3.01 and while I'm not sure if this is what caused the problem I thought I'd mention it. Anyways, I've been trying to access "megaupload.com" and no matter how many times I try it just doesn't work. Any other website I try works, but not that one. I've tried restarting my phone, clearing everything in the android browser and toggling some of the settings the browser has (block pop-ups and the like). I'm at a dead end now and am just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or knows how to fix it. Thanks!
Are you using any add blockers, or have you made any edits to the host file?
Also not that it should matter but have you tried changing your user agent string?

I'm not using any ad blockers, and I haven't made any changes to the host file. Could those have been changed by the creator of the ROM? I did try changing the user agent string but had no luck there.

They could have been but most devs leave that to the user. Does it happen on wifi and 3g? Could you have been baned by the site for something?

Just tried it on WiFi and it works fine, 3g still doesn't however. And I don't think megaupload ever bans people as far as I know.
I might try restoring to another ROM just to see if that's causing the problem.

Well if you can connect thru wifi i would say verizon, or who ever your thru is somehow blocking it, but i have no clue why they would. Actually i just tried on 3g and it wont work either. Verizon is blocking it for some reason.
Oh, well that's that I suppose. Thanks for your help anyways!
That kind of makes me mad. I pay all that money for data, and i cant go to websites verizon decides is using to much data: BS
I just tried it too. Verizon must not want anyone uploading huge files, especially if you're grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan.

There are a couple ways you might be able to get around this.
1. Install "Set DNS" (Free, android market)
2. Manually configure your DNS servers (requires terminal/CL knowledge, not sure if easily made permanent)
3. Set up a VPN. I have a personal server that I am running a VPN service on. This allows me to browse as if I'm on my personal LAN.
I'm running Stock+ v3.0 and Set DNS is working for me. I've just loaded megaupload.com over 3g by switching to google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Using set dns does work for allowing megaupload on 3g.

[Q] Automatically Logging In To Wi-Fi?

Hey guys,
I have a quick question. I'm looking for a way to automatically "log-in" to a specific Wi-Fi network. Now, the "log-in" is in quotes because all I have to do is launch a browser window and have it load. But, until I do that, the Wi-Fi is unavailable for me to use and creates some errors when getting MMS.
If you need any more information, let me know.
Thanks,
Hasseo
Probably will not work as different wifi networks use different methods and it is illegal to not accept terms on connect.

Normal wifi encryptions methods do allow you to connect automatically but the having to log in via browser there is no easy way to do that but it shouldn't effect mms at all

I don't even have to accept the terms.
The thing is that it's resident hall Wi-Fi and basically in order to get internet, you have to open up a web browser and just go to some random page and it redirects you to the housing website. After that you get internet access. I'm looking for something that could query like google.com in the background and get redirected to the housing site so I can get internet.
... I'm guessing that's not illegal... XD

That would drain your battery soooo fast cuz you would have to keep that browser window open and the data always connected. They set that wifi up like that so you can mainly only use it for on demand web browsing sorry bro no way around it.

[Q] HTCdev login problems

Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...
I had troubles using Chrome browser. I actually had to use IE to get it to work properly. Have you tried using a different browser?

Yes, I've tried Chrome, Opera and IE, all have the same problem.
Hmmm. Perhaps a router issue. Have you tried bypassing your router and connecting directly to your modem with ethernet cable?
I did try accessing the site from my phone and got the same problem. Also my computer isn't near the router so I can't try that.
Did you use wifi when accessing the site using your phone? If so, try using 3G with your provider ...?

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.
nope im havin the same prob. got hboot 1.58 so idk. get a message sayin " indicates hboot update required"

I had the same exact problem when trying to login to HTC dev. It would kick me out every time i would login. I found out that the date on my computer was wrong so i changed it and boom, it worked! Make sure that your date and time is accurate and see if it works. Hope this helps
I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.

Can't view the forum at home.

The strange thing is when I try to see the forum at home - I get huge lags and the forum looks as if they do not connect the CSS styles. In Chrome, Mozilla, Opera is the same.
Switching on the XDA2010 theme doesn't help.
Can be a problem in the Internet provider? How can I fix this?

I get the same thing at work and phone. At home I'm not getting anything. And earlier (about a couple of weeks ago) forum worked fine.
So strange. I would understand if the forum is not open at all. But it opens, but very slowly and very crooked looks.
Something must have changed within your browser, router, or firewall settings. Since the rest of us are having no problems it has to be something in your computer. Flush your DNS, reboot your router, and check your firewall settings. Also try different browsers and see if you get the same results. You can also try OpenDNS, which will solve the problem if it lies with your ISP.

The previous issue was being caused by some ISP Dns servers. Often these kinds of issues can be alleviated by switching your DNS to something better

I have gotten good results from Google's DNS servers. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. We even point to them from my work instead of the ISP's DNS servers.
Level3's DNS servers are ok too, 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1.
