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] Market server errors?

Both my wife and I (both on Fresh 3.1.0.1) are getting server errors trying to access android market tonight. Anyone else having this problem? Tried rebooting, tried routing through wifi, neither helped.

Just flashed king's kernel 4 and i'm seeing the same market issues.

EDIT: nvm, seems to be the local tower plus market refusing to go thru wifi. Sorry.

Yes. I'm getting it too. What did you mean about the towers and refusing wifi?

Edited OP. 3G here is spotty, so I thought it might be that market refused to go thru wifi for some weird auth-related reason. I wasn't seeing packets going thru the router, at least. But I turned off wifi, verified that I was able to route packets thru 3G, and still no market.

Gotcha. I do hope they fix it soon. There's nothing worse that being bored and wanting to browse apps. It's funny because I normally don't browse much on the app store. Maybe it's my fault

theres a all around problem with the market for the last hour or so i just tested both my Evo and a old Samsung Moment laying around the house and both are having the same problem.(Also my Evo's Rom is the stock rooted 2.2)

I just flashed a new ROM and thought something was bad. Good to know it's not just me.

Same here.

same here fellas!!

It got me too, hopefully it's just some maintenance, although the least they could do would be to post a notice

It seems to be back up. However, I can't find some apps, and it's not showing free apps in the list anywhere near the top when I search (e.g. my wife just searched for "clock" -- she wants a new clock widget). I'm hoping this is a temporary problem.
Actually I'd really like to be able to filter to get just free apps on a search, but, no go on this.

I think they are SLOWLY getting it back up. I don't have top paid tab in my market. Its loading very slow, and a lot of apps are missing. Hopefully it will be sorted out by morning.

[Q] Ad free app breaks 4g??

I dont live in a 4g area so this is hard for me to test. When i was away for work in a 4g area i noticed some web pages would load and some would load halfway and stop. Im rooted running evio rom from caulklin. After playing around for a while it seemed once i uninstalled ad free the problem went away. Can anybody else confirm this or have a fix? Thanks!

Anybody? I cant be the only one.

Can you list some of the site you were having issues with? I use Ad Free and live in a 4G area. If you give me some specifics I can test it out for you.

Yes it does. Noticed this a couple of months ago. When using 4G and ad free, a site will not load passed the first ad. It will get stuck in the ad tag and prevent the entire page from loading. Using 3G or WiFi the site will load. 4G really isn't broken as you can use it for anything else that requires a data connection but you won't be able to load pages with ads.
For example, on 4G, load espn.go.com. It won't load. Now load the adless espn mobile site. It will work.

This is an interesting problem, because Adfree does not interfere with browser operation on 3G or WiFi or with non-browser apps. The issue is specific to 4G and browsers. There must be a simple work around?

Wow I have been having the same issue and did know what the cause of it was. My first thought it must have be the custom rom that was causing this issue. I will uninstall Ad free to see if the issue does in deed go away.
Update: Yup, that did resolved my issue. Thanks OP

AdFree merely replaces the hosts.txt file in the \system\etc directory. Are you guys implying that removing AdFree restores the stock file? I'm having this web page loading issue but I manually swapped out the hosts file without installing AdFree...
If so, that's a tough decision...no ads or full browser......

How did you get the original hosts file. I need it because my uninstallation of adfree didn't fix my problem with the browser not fully loading pages .

AdFree has a button to revert your hosts file. So reinstall, revert, then restart.

Dzammm!!! Fixed a problem I've been worrying about for the past two days in about 2 seconds! Thanks for the help bro, my browser is back to acting correctly.

Internal phone browser and 4g

4g works great for me when I am tethering. Netflix just screams.
However when I have 4g turned on and try to view web pages on the phones default internet browser or Dophin HD or Mini then pages just don't load. The progress bar get's about halfway and then just stops for up to 5 minutes sometimes and then the page continues to load. I click on a link and again wait for up to 5 minutes and then the new page loads....
If I turn off 4g and just browse with 3g then browser pages open right up no delays at all.
This is very frustrating. Does anyone else have this issue or know what is up or how to fix it?

Do you have AdFree installed? If so, uninstall it. AdFree is known to cause web browsing issues when on 4G.

Yes I do. I am using Koni's Elite Series II mod. I will try uninstalling that app and see.
Thanks!

It didn't help to uninstall Adfree.
Any other Suggestions?

Did you reboot after uninstalling? That might help. I would probably wipe cache and dalvik too. Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be causing it.
I would check in the thread for the ROM you are using and see if anyone else is having the same problem.

Can you explain the logic behind how adfree affects 4g? All it is is a front end for updating the hosts file which does nothing but redirect certain ad sites to either local host or some other IP, depending how you have it set up.

No actually I can't explain it. I just know I've seen it mentioned several times and people reported that deleting it solved their problem.

I still haven't come up with a solution for this. So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Don't just uninstall it -- that doesn't revert the change it made. In fact, you'll need to go back and reinstall it. Open it up and click the revert button. Then you can uninstall it.
I think you can also just delete /etc/hosts, but using Adfree to do it is probably a bit easier.

ok I will try that. Thank you.

[Q] Issues with Youtube

Hello,
Today I've been experiencing the following error with YouTube:
I can access the application fine, browse videos, search videos, access my YouTube account and favorites, etc... everything perfectly fine.
When I tap on a video it starts to load but then it stops and displays "Unable to connect to server - Touch to retry. If I do as it says, it just keeps that cycle.
Now I can stream videos just fine and prior to today I could watch videos without issues. My app version is 2.2.16.
Things I've tried:
1. Pulled out battery for 5 min.
2. Cleared app cache and data
3. Uninstalled the app and cleared Cache / dalvik in CWM then reinstalled
No luck. I haven't had any luck of it working under 3g or 4g, still haven't tested wifi (not at home at the moment, but will edit and report back).
I'm running Stock EH06 rooted odexed.
Attached is an extract of my alogcat that will have some fishy errors regarding Youtube, any assistance is my appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

your data connection might have been too slow where u tried.

Yes, it may have been a bad data connection..ie down tower. I just tried same version on wifi and mine works. Try wifi and see how it works. If you delete the app, use root explorer and search for youtube to make sure you get all remnants of files as well then reinstall from the market.

OK so its hard to believe that the whole state of MA is full of bad 3g / 4g internet towers, again, I can access internet just fin and normal speeds. (been driving around several towns and still the same result)
I got to a wifi location and it works... I will try deleting all instances and files I find from the app, but what other suggestions you guys may have if this doesn't work?

All's I got after that Mega is to go to Youtube.com on your browser and try the same videos. If they work there then you know it is the app somehow. It updated last week so maybe uninstalling updates.

That's happened to me before, I had to take YouTube of of system/app, and put it in data/app, and it worked just fine after I rebooted.

Tried it but YouTube was already located in data/app... so I did it the other way around and no dice.
I ended up reflashing the ROM and getting everything back up and running from scratch, and now everything works normally. Don't know what it was really but, must of been the amount of hacks I was performing over the weekend with it, something just didn't play nice with YouTube...
Thanks all for your time and efforts!

I know that the latest version of Youtube is screwed up for our epics, which in that case you just uninstall updates and you're good to go.

Hmmm...I am on Bonsai B14 EG22 ROM and my Youtube updated and works fine. Must be another one of those half works half don't things.

Guess so, the updated version didn't work for me on EC05 or EG22, but I'm not complaining since reversing the update remedies my issue.

actually why haven't any of you thought "HAY YOUTUBE USES FLASH OMG"
go uninstall flash and youtube then try again =)
EDIT: also the version of youtube doesn't matter because they all work for all roms
