have Cingular 8525 with upgraded ROM to WM6. Works fine for a long time.
Yesterday I tried to view my photos on flickr.com, and noticed that it was actually accessing the address m.flickr.com, which was the mobile version of the web site. But below, they had the link to view the full version of the same site. I wanted to use that instead, and when I clicked that link, and website was almost loaded, it closed by browser. I tried several times, and no avail.
I disabled proxy, switched to MY ISP instead of MEDIA NET network, and still cannot load the web page to the end. Actually, it is loading, but when I tried to scroll down using the arrow keys, this is when it fails.
Anyone tried to use it with success? Or maybe some suggestions. I must say that it happened to me before with some other sites, but I did not pay attention. But I use a lot flickr, and surely can use the mobile site, but it is not the same.
yeah. look on the wiki.
PIE identifies itself as a mobile browser. That is why it puts you on the mobile version of the site. There is a registry edit that will change your browser's apperance to the outside world to look like IE7.
Opera does this automatically I think. But I've enjoyed looking at mobile versions of most sites as it makes navigation a lot easier.
it is not the point that I cannot look at some site, it is the fact that it is closing the browser, like it crashes.
But maybe this just exhibits the behaviour you tried to explain.
Just got my HTC Desire today and everything is working fine apart from the android market. I have 3 problems:
1) I don't have the paid apps tab only top free and just in. I can see paid apps within the just in section, but not top paid apps.
2) When I clock on the install button I get a blank screen with just the background gui showing for at least 10-20 seconds before the confirmation screen that shows what permissions the app needs is finally shown.
3) Apps install correctly however they never get removed from the "currently downloading" list in the Downloads section of the android market.
I got the phone through virgin mobile and I am currently using a t-mobile sim in it. I have tried doing a factory reset which didn't solve the problem.
Anyone had any similar issues?

Please search before posting.
Your problems will be solved by removing t-mobile content lock. It can be done through their website or by calling customer service.
One problem will remain though: so far no one can see copy-protected apps because market is not recognizing our build number. It should be solved soon though.
Hi,
The phone actually came from Virgin Mobile, but for the moment I am using my old T-Mobile sim which used to be in my G1 which didn't have any problems with the market. I seem to remember de-activating the content lock when I used the browser for the first time on my g1.
I just checked on my t-mobile account details and I definitely have the content lock turned off.
I still have the same problem with the market, i.e. I get about 20 seconds of blank screen after clicking install before the permission confirmation details come up.
And after an app is installed it still shows in the download section as installing with the grey progress bar and doesn't disappear unless I go to the settings/Applications and clear the cache in download manager, market and force close the market app.
Anyone have any similar problems? I have done a full factory reset three times, still the same problems.
Liam
I just got mine, its a open one unbranded. I can neither connect to gtalk or download apps, both hang. I have read similar problems for the Droid, but the fixes dont work for me.
Also can you connect the device to the internet via the PC, like windows mobile ?
That's odd. My problems were solved by removing content lock.
Does the same thing happen on WiFi? Did you try to restart the device?
Regarding PC to phone tethering, it's not possible over USB. There are guides on how to do it over WiFi though.
Its the same for me : confirmed that content lock is off.
and still have this problem.
On Tmobile, upgraded from G1, same sim.
I get this on wifi or not.
If I restart the device, the Market Place states its installed correctly (like it should do). But installing another shows the same problem.
I've done a Factory Reset via the menu and that did solve it.
And I've just phoned tmo tech support, and they recommend resetting via fastboot.
I'll give that a go later, and post back the results.
Any other ideas?
Its really weird. Yesterday at a different wifi location it worked fine. But again its not working in work. I assume then the downloads are being blocked by the service provider, or the router.
Thats really crap you cannot connect to the internet via the USB cable like in windows mobile. I cant get my data service working either - so in work I have to work.
ok, I did a clear storage from the fastboot menu, I assumed that what he meant, had no effect.
but figured it out!!!!!!
its my gmail/Google account thats the problem! if I reset the phone and created a new account it works fine. log back in as me, bang. back as previously created new account, fine.
1. is this the same for other people?
2. the people who are having this problem, are you all previous Android users?
3. if so, what phone? me was G1.
I will have to raise a bug with android or google on this.
I now also have to ring back tmo and tell them this info, as I'm guessing by his language he want to take the phone back in.

Beware that while most apps like gmail, calendar, contacts, etc work using port 80 (HTTP), both google talk and android market use different ports.
In my school network I can't connect to gtalk or download from market because they block those ports on the firewall.
I previously had a g1 and think the problems I was having had something to do with my gmail account but it seemed to resolve itself after several factory resets.
I am not convinced that the factory reset was what fixed it, I just think it needed a bit of time to sort itself out.
I wonder if having a new device with the same gmail account causes the issue and it takes a while to recognise the new device. though that doesn't really explain the behaviour I was seeing.

I cannot find a way around this.
My google account shows the slowness and install problems, a test/temp/dummy/other account does not, I do not want to change my email address!
So I have emailed Google, see where that gets me.
Anyone know/think-of any other routes?

I am having problems with the Market on my new Desire. I previously had a G1.
1. When I select Downloads tab, it takes about 10 seconds before the loading text is displayed.
2. When selecting something to install, the 1st info page with the install button is displayed but with no info/text/etc, ie only the install button, again about a 10sec wait and the info shows fine.
3. When selecting install, the security confirm page is displayed but is blank, no text or buttons, another 10secs and its displayed.
4. If I actually go to install an app, it correctly redirects me back to the last market list page. From there if I go to Downloads, after the 10sec wait, it always states "installing", even when its finished, and pushed a notification up.
I can use the app, but the market always states installing. Even hours after. These all queue up and never clear.
Only rebooting the phone clears the installing app, and correctly marks them as installed.
5. Uninstalling app cannot be completed at all. I select uninstall, and it pops up the confirmation box, but then displays a blank page, and after the 10 or so seconds, displays the "Uninstalling application" with progress bar, but never completes. Again only a reboot corrects this.
All this occurs for any app.
I have done many Factory Resets from software, and Clear Storage from Fastboot.
Interestingly, my phone works corrected with a new account, I reset the phone and instead of signing in with my usual account, I created a new one, this worked very fast and correctly. Signing back in with my normal account again showed the same problems.

same problem here, gone from a G1 to HTC desire not tryed to sign up with a new account simply becasue i had the xxxx.xxxgmail mail now for over 18 months and rely on it.
All I know is that the day after I got my Desire, probably about 24 hours after first turning it on (and after 4 factory resets which may have nothing to do with it) I was installing an app, which had the same problems i.e. delayed permissions screen, remaining in the download screen even after being installed succesfully, then a few minutes later I went to install another app and it was fine, no delay, suddenly I had the Top Paid apps tab and apps did not remain in the download section as still downloading. It has been fine ever since.
It seems that all of us who have this problem have had G1s previously so it must be something to do with that.
I experienced this issue with my new desire but not one with older rom. Both from T-Mobile. The funny thing was first day it was running pretty slow, could not view paid apps either but now it is much faster as it should be and paid apps have appeared too. So it's working brilliantly.
i have market problems too... i cant see many market apps, including paid apps which i bought..
it's a free desire with vodafone spain sim.

That's a different issue, apparently Google have not yet added the HTC Desires "fingerprint" to some kind of database that enables access to apps with copy protection, this is why some apps you have previously purchased won't show up.
Apparently this happens with all new handsets, though why Google don't get this resolved before the phones release I don't know, as it doesn't give a great experience to the end user (HTC say they sent the fingerprint well before the phone was released but google haven't processed it yet).
Hopefully this should be resolved soon. Until then I have had to extract a few of my more regularly used protected apps from my G1 with root.
But it happens to me with free apps too.

Any application developer can choose to use copy protection, some free apps choose to do that.

Pages which need certificates to auhenticate do not work for me too...
i managed to finish the transaction finally when i chose to browse pages on desktop view and disabled mobile sites in settings. BUT i can't remember if it was with the built in browser or the opera mini....but it worked!!!!!!!!!
On all my devices I never pick view mobile version or 'hint for mobile version' settings. It always ends up causing problems, especially on newer smart phones I use. Always the best thing to turn on desktop view if its there
Coming from iPhone (yeah, hate me for that, hee hee) I've noticed many little problems with built-in browser on Desire. Mainly to do with js. Login simply not working. Or cannot select things etc.
But one *big* problem is inability to load https pages. I get dialog box asking me if i want to accept invalid certificate after which "server terminated connection" or something like that.
Tried Dolphin HD and same problems (in fact, think it's the same engine).
Running Sparta v1.2 ROM, but had the same problem with Paul's MCR or stock non-rooted setup.
Do you guys have the same problem?
Can't say I've had any of these problems on Froyo (Browser 2.2) as of yet, the certificate keeps popping up on Google but that's no biggie.
Nope, never had any of these issues on an unmodified Desire.
its not ur desires fault if the website ur tying to visit has an invalid security certificate lol you can turn off the warning in the options

No kidding?! Those problematic websites work just fine on desktops, iPhones or even other Android phones.
Argh, why bother even explaining? Some people are just too "smart" for us mortals (even though i have 2 degrees in cs)
Anyway, I will try Froyo and see if that *bug* is resolved on 2.2 browser.

Yes, it's a correct time/date... Don't know what is going on.
Me neither, but I suspect it's your device. Mind posting some of those sites, so we can test them and figure out if it's a general problem, or one with your device?

first site loaded fine on desire very fast.
second site gave security warning on Desire, it's certificate ran out 30th May, I don't normally get those, my pc loaded it no problem.
Tried it in Pays BS v2.0.
The first link loads fine on both (stock and dolphin hd) browsers, however, i also receive the certificate warning and fails to load the secure https site using both browsers. It shows that the certificate does expire on the 30th of May, but in the year 2020.

Same here. First site loads and logs on very fast using Chrome, Dolphin HD or XScope. Second one gives the same issue on all three.
T-mobile, stock.

Hummm... I'm afraid you'll have to log on to be able to get to the https part.
I can open it on Desire just fine. But when I try to log in, all goes bad...
hello there... maybe this issue is mobile network related... i'm on the same network (vip.hr) and can't access your second https site, but http://elf.foi.hr/ works fine...
on https i get "The server failed to communicate. Try again later"
Thank you guys for the feedback. After messing around with it, it is definitely simply 2.1 browser as it works just fine on Froyo.... Both on mobile data and wifi (whereas on 2.1 it doesn't work both on mobile and wifi) so doubt it is the network related issue.
These bugs and problems make me want to go to back to iPhone

So it works on FroYo...which I'm assuming you now have running...yet the bug in the previous version of the OS is making you want to go back to iPhone...despite you not running said version anymore?
Makes perfect sense. It's not like the iPhone has any show stopping bug of it's own or anything...
Ok first off this is my first post so don't go flaming me. I have searched the site thoroughly although maybe I am not entering the correct keywords to return a valid result. I have had my galaxy nexus since launch and am glad I migrated from iOS to an android phone.
That being said everything works flawlessly for my needs I'm on the VZW phone unrooted no firmware modifications, the phone is almost stock with the exception of like 3 apps I have downloaded and the ICS update that was pushed to my phone immediately after turning it on.
One of my primary uses with my smartphone is accessing a website for school where I can view grades, scheduling, add and drop classes etc..
The browser on 3g, 4g, Wifi works flawlessly going to any website either through a search engine or via manually entering the URL. However the school website is unaccessible through the browser on this phone and it is the only page I can not get to. I have checked via other smart phones, desktops and other devices concurrently while using the nexus and am able to validate the site is up and available.
If I do a google search for it, go the the parent university site and use hyperlink or manually enter the URL I get web page not found - network error. I was thinking at first that it was an https problem but I am able to visit other secure sites without any problem. I also tried the option to goto to a non-mobile version of the site without success as well.
here is the web address
EDIT: apparently I can't post a link but you can navigate by doing a google search for UM-Dearborn Connect it should be the first result returned
So my question is what gives? Is there some type of a credential issue with my browser and this site? an incompatability with the new OS and this site I just don't understand why only this site I am unable to access.
If another galaxy nexus user could try to access this site and give feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
Try using Opera Mobile or Firefox. Both can be downloaded from the market. I will try to get to the site now.

Edit: I get the same network error message as you when trying to connect in the stock browser. Opera Mobile seems to work fine. I had a similar problem with a University site on the Gingerbread browser on my last phone. The beauty of Android is that there is a solution to nearly any issue you come across.

I get the same problem when looking at Newegg Promotions that I get in my email. It's really weird. I get the same problem on my Transformer as well.
Occurs on EDGE/3G/4G and WiFi.
Maxthon
You may also want to give the Maxthon browser a go. I use it over the stock browser and it always works well.
Thanks for the verification on your phones guys, I thought I was going crazy and wasn't sure if I should try a factory reset.
While using another browser may be an alternative my inherent inner geek is not satisfied with resorting to an alternative option.
I'm going to try and get to the bottom of this. If I get any updates I'll post to this thread.
