Data connection with default browser?? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've noticed recently that at certain times of the day when I browse using the default web browser I immediately loose my 3G connection. I close out and it comes back. I refresh the page and it drops. I decide to try Opera mini and see if it persists but I have no problem using opera or any other app which requires data connection.
Has anyone else ran into this problem or know a fix?
Sure I could just use opera now, but would like to see what could be causing this
I'm running fresh 3.1.0.2, kings cfs 11, the correct radio and wimax.

I'm sick of this issue with Opera Min5/Mobile10

While using Opera Mini 5 or Mobile10 often times when I click, type, or follow to a new web page, it begins to load the new page, then stops and gives up. This is a frustrating issue that I have had with both of these programs and the issue is independent of any ROM.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? I love Opera Mini5, but this issue is ALWAYS a problem and I have no desire to use Internet Explorer.
Thanks guys
What version of opera do you use? I mean, did you try the opera version from ninja?
Also, is your data connection stable? Maybe it has something to do with the radio that you are using. I had a radio version once where the connection would just drop when using it for 30 seconds.
Just use 9.7 ??
It is not a problem with the data connection. Wifi, good reception or not the problem has always persisted. & Mobile9.7 does not have the speed nor the same features as Mini5 or Mobile10 :/
I had this same problem when I had an Excalibur and Opera Mini3 and 4.

[Q] Is there some setting I need to get the browser working with 4g?

I've recently been getting scattered 4g in los angeles. At my house I have 2bars now and when using the speedtest app in the market I've been getting anywhere from 3mbps to 6mbps. But when I use the browser, its REALLY slow. Most of the time it won't even finish loading the page. The progress bar gets about half way, the just hangs. If I flip back to Evdo, it works fine. Is there something I can do to fix this?
have you tried dolphin d browser or any other browser besides the stock one?

I'm having exact same problem
I am experiencing the same problem as you are, i.e., 4G coverage is excellent in DFW (3--4 bars consistently), but native android browser will not load pages fully (progress bar hangs). But when I switch back to 3G pages load flawlessly. When I tether thru 4G same pages load flawlessly on home PC.
I haven't yet tried alternative browsers to native android one. I will and post results.
Weird, I've been experiencing this also, but I've been chalking it up to the fact that 4g hasn't officially launched in my area yet, and that I'm getting inconsistent 4g signal.
jrotert- when you test other browsers, can you report on weather retexting has been fixed? That's what made me go to stock in the first place. Thanks in advance.

If you are using adFree in the market or an ad blocking hosts file, 4g will not load webpages. Just in case some of y'all are using these that might be the problem.

Good to know, but at least on my end, I'm not using any blockers.

Just tried dolphin browser, same deal. Got 6873kbps on speedtest app, but the browser is still slow. Occasionly, when it does load a page, its fast, but most of the time it takes like 30secs to move the progress bar at all in the browser. Also, other apps like Googlemaps work fine. It's only the browser.
Follow up to 4g problems
Okay, I tried Dolphin browser, same results, i.e pages wouldn't load etc.
Tried uninstalling Adfree but same results: pages not loading fully but loading fine back on 3G.
Just for the hell of it, I updated my pri to 1.40 to see of it would help with the browser being slow.... it didn't! In fact, it seemed to have weakened my 4g. I could connect at my studio before(Reseda,CA.), but now it says 4g available, but doesn't connect. I can still connect at my house though. I'm starting to wonder if the issues I'm having is because I'm not in an officially launched 4g area. Not sure....

[Q] Wireless tether issue

I have a droid incredible with sky raider sense 3.3.2, my issue with wireless tether has persisted through several different roms and the stock rom.
When I launch wireless tether (with or without security) I am able to connect from my mac or pc and surf the web at very slow speeds. The phone is able load web pages faster in the same location then with wifi tether. On top of the slow speeds I am not able to browse the web for more then 15 minutes without losing internet access via wifi, but still connected to the phone. During that time the phone can still surf the web.
The only temporary way to fix this is to reinstall all binaries and configs then restart the phone. When I use the pdanet trail I have, everything is a dream via usb.
My current radio is 2.15.00.07.28, this issue has also been with me for the past 2 radio updates I have done. I have tried turning wifi on and off with no success, disabling all my apps but wifi and superuser.
I'm having the EXACT same issue and have been searching for the past couple hours to try and fix it. Currently on Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1 w/ stock 2.6.32.17 Kernel. Driving me crazy!! .4kb download & .1kb upload speeds... Have removed the .dun as instructed in EPST's settings and am using latest wireless tether (2.05.-pre13).
Has everyone that has come across this thread been able to use wireless tether with no issues? Should it be as simple as having root, froyo & downloading wireless tether? Or changing EPST settings to take out "dun."... Bueller?
Are you using the stock 3g hotspot app or did you download a rooted app?

Using wifi tether. Stock app not on my phone

Same issue here too. I have 2 inc's, both rooted - one stock, one running Myn's release 3 w/Ziggy kernel. Both have the same problem. Wifi will actually stay up for a while and the connected to my laptop. Then, wifi will actually drop and not be detected by wifi-analyzer while on the serving inc tether willstill show active.
Running Wifi-tether pre13 but this is an issue whether running wifi-tether or 3g hotspot.
Possibly an earlier version of wifi-tether would work? Can someone who is not experiencing this issue post the versions of their wifi related apps?

Having same problem with brothers phone. I'm never around when it drops but this is exactly what he describes too. I just put pre 13 and changed to channel 1 haven't had him complain yet but we will see
Mine however with same setup works fine... totally confused
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I just updated to pre13 and have tried several different channels with no luck. I noticed earlier that when I have been on it for a while it will slowly stop loading sites.
By this I mean that Engadget could continue to refresh while hulu or xda will not load. Eventually Engadget will stop loading.

I my stock dinc back to wifi tether 2.0.5-pre7 this morning and so far so good... will do some more testing tonight and report back later with an edit.
edit: Apparently pre7 release has an issue with channel selection, no matter what you select you end up on 6 (with all of the other default users out there), running pre8 now.
When you tether, does it say 1x at the top?
tether working fine
This is really one of the main reasons I rooted-
stock 2.2
wireless tether 2.0.2
I seem to surf without interuption endlessly.
speed test on average is about.5Mbps up and down
It does it at 3g and 1x

I get the same issue while running both sky-raider and now on virtuous. I believe it prob has to do with the 2.15 radio cuz I never had this issues with 2.05 or stock 2.1 android
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Same here...after surfing a while on the laptop it will quit loading pages.
The only way I can get around it is to disable the "wireless network connection"
then re-enable and it will work for another 10 minutes or so before having
to repeat the same action.
I have never been able to get wifi tether to work. I tried numerous versions of wifi tether, tried changing WEP, WPA, Open, channels, etc. I could connect the computer to the phone, but could never get internet access.
I finally gave up and just use 3g Hotspot, which works perfect.
I never had the 2.05 radio, so I don't know if it was introduced in 2.15
Man am I glad I am not the only one with the issue.

Okay so now we have established that there is a wifi tethering issue. Any dev wanna help us out on solving this or anyone with any ideas?

I have the same issue... any help is greatly appreciated!
I'm currently using stock 2.2 w/Nov update, radio 2.15.00.07.28 & 2.05-pre13 but am having no problem keeping two laptops connected. Rather my issue is one mentioned a few posts up, the speed is sadly lacing compared to what others have posted elsewhere on the site.
Would post screens but have to be more active and post a few more.

[Q] Evo 4g tethering slow using android tether and 4g network

I just got my evo a few days ago and rooted it. I am currently running myrns warm twopointwo RLS4 but I have experienced the problem below with the latest ava, fresh, and stock roms as well.
The problem I have seen is that when using android tether using wifi I get between .1 mbit to .4 mbit down and .7 mbit to 1 mbit up with 4g on and 3g turned off. I have tried every revision of android tether from 2.05 pre2 to the latest version pre 14. I get the same slow results on a windows 7 pc and an ipad. It almost looks like the tether app is using 3g even though 3g is turned off, but I don't think thats the case since the routing table looks exactly as I would expect it to (default route is the wimax interface).
When using the "tether" app from the market place I can get 10mbit down over usb. I would prefer to use tethering over wifi... are there any other apps that can do wifi tethering or maybe a solution to my problem? Is there some secret checkbox I am missing somewhere?

Any ideas
Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
mine was doing the alot too but i flashed the newest radios as of 07/04/2011 and it stopped going into 1x alot
I started having this problem recently as well, I live in the Boston area. I believe I have the latest radios, 2.15.00.05.02. I had been running the stock rooted rom, which only shows a 3G icon regardless of actual connection speed. I noticed that when I flashed the Synergy Sense 3.0 ROM that my phone was sitting in 1x most of the time. I tried flashing Deck's ASOP 1.2.1 and was seeing the same speed issues. I ran a Speed Test on each of the ROMs and was getting less than 100kbps. I'm currently back on the stock rooted ROM while I try to debug the speed issues.
I was just about to post a thread on this as well because it is frustrating me a lot. when i first got the phone i was full bars every where and now , especially after rooting , I have terrible signal and most times cant load web pages or download from market unless im on wifi
I have 2.15.00.09.01 radio is that the newest

An update on my situation. My 3G magically started working again last night. I think my 3G issue may have been related to the SMS/data outage that hit the Sprint network in the past 48 hours.
What data outage did they have
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All i was aware of was an sms - mms outage like he said but im still experiencing these issues. It now seems to only be certain webpages. I can't make any google searches and some websites will only load once in a great while.
Yeah I'm still having 1x issues. It sucks. So what is the new radio or a d l link for it would be great
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Check my sig for radio downloads. I am currently on the newest radios, and everything works perfectly for me.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reactivating)
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Then, just wipe everything and flash your favorite ROM!
