Web pages don't load on 4g or wifi - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an evo that was shipped on 2.3.4 hardware version 004 and on every rom I've tried except the stock one I have a problem where whenever I'm on 4g or wifi web pages only load to 75% then stop and say loading indefinitely, 3g works fine, I have good 4g signal and my wifi works on my laptop just fine, I have had this problem especially bad on cyanogen, currently I'm running fresh 4.2 and the problem occurs intermittently apps that use data however, always work ie Pandora Facebook ect , does anybody know what this is?

Wasn't there some issue with the host file causing issues like this before or am I confusing it with something else?
Do you use adfree?

Did you wipe the cache via Recovery or just using the browser? I imagine they are different. Clear the cache in the browser and clear your downloads and history. Have you tried using a different browser to see if it is specifically the stock browser or something more sinister?

I DO use adfree and I wiped both caches, RA recovery and the browser's. Is adfree the problem?

I would make sure that your host file is up to date and if it's not then do it and check the browser.
If it is, try reverting and see if it corrects the issue.

It is adfree, 4g and wifi work flawlessly now, what a bummer, I guess ill have to deal with advertising.

Strange WiFi issue

Hey all.
For about 5 hours I haven't been able to download anything from the market. Occasionally something will download if its a small file size, so that rules out the good apps.
I've tried 2 different nand back ups; pays 2.0 and BluFrost and neither work. Running the latest radio.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a wipe/factory reset and wipe of SD:Ext?
I've got exactly the same issue. Wifi is working for everything else except when I try to download from the market. No 3G where I am so I can't see if market works with it. I'm running NextSense 5.2 and up to now have had no problems.
Update: Just tried Market Doctor option in Titanium Backup and now everything seems to be working again. Suggest trying it to see if it solves your problems.

Try clearing data for the youtube app in settings/applications/manage applications/all
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
If clearing data doesn't work try uninstalling and redownloading and installing from market.
I'm on SRF and I had YouTube FC issues once as well. Clearing data and reinstalling didn't help, but running fix permissions in CWM did (and even fixed another problem I was having).
Worth a shot if you can't get it to work by the two posts before me.

Browser keeps crashing

Since the update from htc a few weeks ago or whatever, the www browser crashes all the time. Never had problems before the update. This is not, use another browser so please don't do that.
Tanks.

Try going to menu - settings - applications - manage applications - all tab - internet, and hit force stop. Then clear data and cache. Reboot and see if that fixes it.
No go. Not fixed. Crashes randomly quite a bit.

What are your phone specs? (ROM, kernel, radio, etc...)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
And what exactly do you mean by crash? does the browser freeze? does it force close? does the phone reboot?
I have always found the browser to be somewhat finicky (a whole bunch of ROMs, froyo and gingerbread). But, the broswer was made to be (very) lightweight, as is the whole system on a phone, so I expect some difficulties with heavy content and poorly built pages. The browser will slow way way down when dealing with pages with many embedded videos, ads, and such.
My most common issue with the browser is it freezes with a half-loaded page (except CM 7.1 which FC'd all the time). Most all of my browser problems seem to do with not maintaining a solid connection to Verizon.
Things normally work if I do the one or some of the following...
1. ensure good connection to network (move to someplace with stronger signal)
2. restart browser
3. clear cache, history, then restart browser
4. do steps 1,2,3 and then reboot phone (usually not necessary)
There isn't anything the browser can do if Verizon isn't getting the data to the phone, which seems like the most common issue for me.
Browser just disappears and on any page. Cache, restart nothing helps. It can go to any page and just disappear. I can open right away and then it's fine. Other times I can be at a page for a minute then browser disappears. It's extremely buggy unstable pos since the update to 2.3 long ago.

I assume that means you are not rooted and still s-on. Without being rooted your options for fixing or trouble shooting are very limited. Really your only options would be to do a factory reset, and if that dosent work, an ruu.
OK. I've done reset before and didn't help.
What's ruu?
Is there way to root my phone from itself not hooking it up to a pc?

An ruu is a pure stock image direct from htc. It is what htc uses to originaly program the phone for the first time. Download the Gingerbread PB31IMG.zip and flash it thru hboot. You can find the ruu here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22. And instructions on how to flash it here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79.

Possibly try dolphin. If not, try desktop mode. Sometimes it works. Also make sure if you're using 3g to not have the WLAN ONLY switch on.

is this on 3g or wifi?
if its on 3g i think (personal opinion btw) the 3g connection is not able to handle rom sized downloads so after so long it thinks its just timed out cuz sprint(aka towers or whatever) think we are being ridiciuos trying to download a file of that size over 3g
could be wrong (known to happen) or something else
Are you sure you aren't losing connection in the middle of download? That has happened to me, and it timed out.

Right after I click "download file" on the browser, I can see its loadin on the notification bar and then right away it says , download complete. Which is not cus its not the size its supposed 2b

Have you tried reflashing the rom? Or flashing a different build?
Wiped cache/dalvik in recovery? If you don't feel like Reflashing right away, that is.
You can open the downloads app and turn off "download on WLAN only" if you have the option. Or turn it on if it's off. Even though it's on wifi, maybe this could help. While you're there, retry any failed downloads. I had the same problem on the stock browser on MIUI, retrying over & over until it downloaded would eventually work. I didn't have the problem on xScope or Opera Mobile.
Note that I'm going backwards in order of things to try, that's just how they popped into my head.

Where can I find that option to WLan only, I'm on cm7
And if u mean the stock downloads app, there's no option there for that,
The thing is the d/ls are not failing they r just not the size they supposed to be.

Try using decks 1.3D with tiamat 3.3.7 kernel. My assumption is that it is because you are using cm7. Cm7 has always had problems and made my phone all screwy in one way or another because they build it for so many different devices and when they fix something for one phone, it breaks something else for another phone. Decks is based off of cm7 but he made it the way it should be... FLAWLESS. All you have to do is add adw launcher and you have the cm7 launcher that your used to. If that doesn't work then pm me and ill see if I can help you out
P.s. I have never had problems with decks 1.3D so it should be worth a shot

Ima give it a try, I noticed it ONLY happens when I try to download ZIP files FROM THE BROWSER(stock, skyfire,dolphin) , cus everything else downloads fine exept when I try to download roms, which r in zips
Whyyyyy
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Is it happening on wifi only at location? Or is it happening on wifi everywhere? Is your SD card ok? Have you backed up your SD card, reformatted it and then tried again? If that doesn't work then I would suggest trying another ROM.
Wifi everywhere BUT I just tried firefox and it worked, I didnt try it at first cus I always had problems with the beta but now its working with the stable firefox
SomeHow its only happening with other brwosers exepta firfox, still kinda want to know why. Maybe a bad flash of the rom?
Thanks for suggestions tho
