Hi,
I use internet pass through (Using laptops internet thru USB tethering) a lot to download huge size game files or update my apps. However I have noticed one problem with this feature. The internet pass thru works correctly for few minutes and then it stops downloading anything and the download speed also changes to 0bytes.
I then change the connection to charging wait for sometime and then again changing to internet pass thru which makes it work again. This behavior is constant from the day I purchased my phone on launch date.
My laptops firewall is off and the connection appears in my network sharing as unidentified .
Is this a bug or some problem which can be resolved by any changes. I already searched on similar topics and no thread answers to my satisfaction.
Please help me.

WiFi Issues
I have exactly the same issues and have tried installing both Opera and Netfront to no avail. I can connect to Wifi perfectly can then sync Avantgo, download quick GPS updates and surf a couple of pages, then the DNS seems to fail, have tried with DHCP and fixed IP's. Think the o2 Orbit has some sort of DNS cache fault...As a side issue when the Orbit does connect it runs the Internet very slowly...Both a XDA IIi and XDAs run perfectly on the same wireless!!
Get the devices early and wait for the fixes!!
the same thing on Artemis - device gets IP from WiFi Access point by DHCP, but without DNS. I set DNS manually and Internet is working thought WiFi now.
I had the same problem then installed Wi-Fi Companion, issue resolved. You can download a trial for three days from Pocketgear or Handango.
I changed the wireless mode of the router to only wifi g
has anyone any idea how to get round this yet?
Tried to connect today and all that happens is ie sits there saying 'locating'
I tried Wifi companion..it shows me connected and everything but still can't surf the net.
how can I set DNS manually? might be worth a try
thanks for any help
quick update...Ive just been doig a tracert and ping of my service provider and although the trace and ping come out ok...i.e. still just sits there saying locating...
anyone any ideas?? getting desperate here
Apologies..another quick update....
it's not that I can't connect to the net..it's that there is a default page on IE that tries to connect to pda.o2.co.uk or something..and this page is either not there or something...so, changed the default page and I'm good to go...
apologies again
Mine did the same ... Heres the fix ... It has trouble locating the home page . Type in manually to the address line the url for say GOOGLE and wait for it to connect . Then go to tools options and save current page ( Google) as home page and hey presto ! Sorted
Hi
I also have a similar problem
I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail
I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)
WORST than that , when I use the XDA Orbit with Wifi and Internet Explorer - it HANGS the wi-fi router after about 30 secs and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!
What am I doing WRONG ???
Any suggestions welcomed
I tried the above 'fixes' and it DID get me a BIT further
i.e. I was able to get a connection to google.co.uk for about 30 seconds and do one enquiry - but then it STILL hung the router and the XDA Orbit was stuck saying 'locating'
Take a look here this worked for me.
Sorry did not work for me - after 30-40 seconds of surfing IE hangs on 'locating' and the router hangs and has to be re-set
ANYTHING TO DO WITH 802.11b compatibility ????????
Where can I get Opera browser to try that ?
How many posters have fixed this problem ?
OK
I downloaded the latest trial version of OPERA and tested that
EXACTLY the same result
If I switch on WiFi and connect to the Internet via Opera, I can access the internet for about 30 seconds, then the browser cannot access any more
If I switch of WiFi on the Orbit quickly, then the Router is OK - if I don't, then the Router Hangs and all my computers lose internet access
Has anyone else seen this ??
Has anyone cured this ??
Is is an 802.11b problem ??
Hey everyone,
I've been searching and reading lots of threads and haven't found one that seems to address the problem I'm having.
So I have a Tilt 2 currently with NRGZ28's Energy Oct 20 ROM (installed earlier this evening). The problem is that I can't seem to transfer large (let's say 5MB+) files over instant messaging apps (AIM, Yahoo, MSN/Windows Live) or via FTP without having the file either fail with an error, or just sitting there with the completion time climbing higher and higher.
When I check Windows 7's Task Manager and click on the Networking tab, there's no bandwidth usage at that point. I can still send and receive IMs on all the networks at once, Outlook is still functional, web pages still load, but the files just won't move.
I have a similar problem when trying to view videos on Hulu. YouTube and other sites do better, but they stop to buffer far too often to make it fun. Even with 360p videos on YouTube, it stops quite a bit.
My signal strength shows 4 bars and H (3G).
I have the latest radio ROM for AT&T. I previously was using the factory ROM and thought updating the radio might help, but it seemed to make no difference.
Possibly related to this:
I have a laptop and a desktop. When I use the WiFi router app with this ROM, the laptop connects to it without problems, but the desktop, which has a Realtek Wireless N USB adapter, sees it, connects, and then most of the time has no Internet access. Even with the laptop turned off. The adapter is set for DHCP and all the usual default stuff, but it lists the gateway as being 192.168.1.2 or .0.1 (I forget which now), when the laptop lists .1.1.. A few weeks back, I could have both connected to the WiFi router in the phone without problems, and even copy files between the computers. Now the desktop works right about 1 in 10 attempts but works fine using the Phone As Modem thing with a USB connection.
But even using the USB connection, I still have the exact buffering or not loading at all, or not transferring files problem.
I found that using Total Commander on the phone, I can connect to my FTP server and upload a 35MB (the only one I tested) file very quickly without any problems. So the problem appears to be with tethering of any kind.
Speedtest.net usually reports about 1.0 or 1.1mbps incoming and about .3mbps outgoing.
I'm using MediaNet for the connection and have used most of the Energy releases over the past 5-6 months. I also ran Task29 several updates back. I haven't since, but I didn't see any difference before running it (probably 10 ROM updates) and then maybe 5 after running it.
I'm in Orlando, Florida and when downloading from various servers, I usually get 350K/sec, give or take. I can't understand how that's not enough to watch 360p YouTube videos. Sometimes they'll buffer just far enough ahead to not be a problem, othertimes I'm not so lucky and have to pause for 30 seconds to get a minute of video buffered.
The desktop is a Q6600 with 8 gigs of RAM and Win 7 Ultimate, the laptop is an AMD 2GHz with 4 gigs of RAM and Win 7 Home Premium.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Eric
Anyone?
I also just found I couldn't upload a 30 meg video to Facebook (I assume that's over HTTP port 80). I got about 10 megs out and then it just stopped transferring. Task Manager Networking was dead and time remaining kept climbing, but there was no timeout.
So it doesn't seem to be related to ports, but more so with outgoing data and tethering. And I have the same problems with USB or WiFi tethering..
Thanks!
Eric
Anyone?
Bump?
I just did a test on speedtest.net to Wichita (that's what it detects is closest, not that it's anywhere near Orlando).. Download was 1.93, though it seemed to sit around 1.8 megabits/sec during most of it. But these timeouts are still a problem. I really could use some advice here
Thanks,
Eric
Hi All,
I am trying to share my laptops internet connection with my Defy via a virtual miniport adapter(using a program called connectify)...my phone gets connected perfectly and I am able to surf the net on my phone..but only for a short time. After a while if I just let the phone be on standby for a while, it loses the internet connectivity. It remains connected to the hotspot(on my pc) but somehow there is no internet on the phone anymore. However if I turn off the wifi on my Defy and put it back again, the internet is back. I have tried almost everything but nothing seems to work. Initially i thought the problem might be with the connectify software on my system so tried using other softwares such as virtual router intel mywifi technology etc. I even tried to create a virtual wifi miniport manually from the command line but same problem everytime. I tried to change the wifi sleeo policy in my phone to never and that did not help too. I am running stock Froyo on my Defy. Sometimes when I turn off wifi and turn it back on it wont even connect to the access point, keeps showing scanning...connecting...scanning...connecting...then finally disconnected. I just cant understand what is wrong. If someone can throw some light on this...it would be really helpful, its almost 20 days since I am breaking my head over this.
Thanks
this might help
Install connectify and select wifi security mode as Ad-Hoc,WEP,this worked for me the defy sometimes seems to have a problem with WPA2.
I'm having issues with my laptop's internet whenever its using the phone's internet. My phone's using the stock apps on CM10.
Every few mins the internet stops as in DNS requests fail, http requests fail, nothing happens for a minute. The connection between my phone and my laptop is always stable during these hiccups and I get this problem whether I use usb tethering or wifi hotspot. The internet on my phone during these hiccups works fine to.
How do I fix this issue?
Hello,
i've come from this thread thread
I have a galaxy nexus running stock android 4.2.1 with a very peculiar problem. From time to time i have trouble accessing a certain website if i try from wifi or from mobile connection it doesn't matter. If i restart the device the website works without a problem. It was a very odd problem and kept bugging me so i tried to focus on finding the real cause. After a lot of try and error i managed to arrive at this situation:
I have at my disposal 3 different wifi networks (lets call the wifi-1,wifi-2,wifi-3) and mobile broadband connections.
after a reboot of the phone (just to have a clear state) if i connect to wifi-1,2 or mobile conn the website works OK. if i connecto to wifi-3 the site also works OK but then after i disconnect from wifi-3 and connect to any of the other wifi-1,wifi-2 or mobile conn it doesn't work anymore. If i connect to wifi-3 again it works fine on that network.
I've connected to the phone using connectbot and checked the ip address and different params. and i simply can't get a ping to that website. a similar website located in the same subnet but on a different IP still works.
So what could happen on the network layer on the phone to stop working the connection to a certain IP?
Where could i find some info about how to debug IP networking issues on android 4.2.x
PS: I control both the phone and the servers that i'm trying to reach and can't see any traffic coming from the phone on the server.
PS1: I couldn't reproduce the issue with android 4.2.2 only with 4.2.1 (i've also tested android 4.4.4 and couldn't reproduce) i've tested 2 different phones with 4.2.1 and the problem reproduces.
PS2: IPv6 is disabled on wifi networks
PS3: all networks use different ip address classes and the IP changes accordingly. i was able to reproduce the issue only with a specific website/ IP
I was hoping someone would have answered you here.
Let me ask you this. Can you do process of Elimination ?
Choose a different Web such as this site http://forum.xda-developers.com
Next Connect the phone to each network and the Data in turn. Each time, first wipe data to the Browser on your phone. Go to the website. See if it loads and interacts well. (Go to some forum or log in etc.)
Switch to the next network and repeat. Let me know how that goes.
Next find a computer and have it do the same thing with internet Explorer. Clear IE's cache data each time. See how that goes as well with this site as your test site.
