Internet initial slow speed

When I use the default browser, there is always an initial pause before the browser loads the site I have requested. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?
The pause can take up to 10-15secounds before it decides to load the site and its very annoying.

I´ve also this problem.
Fix?

Is this on Wi-fi or 3g? Or both

I've had a similar experience in the past while using 2g/3g. Concluded the DNS servers used by some mobile networks are very slow resulting what you are seeing.
It may be posible to specifiy an alternative DNS server to speed it up??

Both 2/3 g and wifi..
Any solution for this?
Thanks

If its wi-fi and 3g it wont be a dns problem, you tried clearing
some cache maybe??
Just a guess at a fix,
or try using a different browser?

Already tried both solutions... thanks anyway..
Anything else?

Which rom you using?
t-mobile, orange, or stock?

Its odd, mine sometimes does this. Mines sim free on a stock rom. Does it on orange or o2. Does it on different browsers too. It gives me the first few millimetres of render across the top bar then occasionally it just sticks for maybe 15 seconds. But it always does it at that first bit of loading the page. Most of the time it just moves like **** of a shovel from start to finish. Its not just on the very first connection either. You would possibly expect that first render to not be as snappy but theres no reason as to when it happens. Nothing major just something slightly annoying.

I also see this, WiFi and 3G.
Been using Opera mini 5 beta, the last two days, it is lot better/faster that the standard browser.

Ok.. i´ve just solved this problem regarding 3g browsing* but wifi browsing remains.
Any comments?
*Open the Phone dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* (note the symbols are backwards)
Tap on Phone Information
Scroll Down and set your Preferred Network Type to GSM auto (PRL) - NOTE this does not disable 3G or HSDPA! Speed tests still show I am receiving speeds up to 2.4mbps - NOTE there will still be the 3G and H icons in your status bar
This has fixed the connection dropout issue for me, please let me know if this hasn't helped for someone else.

Have just tried this and things do seem to load faster. Why would it have been set to WCDMA as defualt do you think?

Hmmmmm didn't cgreg 92 originally post this? Cut and paste is great and all but credit where credits due! Anyway ive done this already, thanks to cgreg92. But the occasional delay still happens on all connections. Its not regular, just an occasional pain. A fix would be good?

True... copy and paste... but didn´t assume credits..just pointed to a parcial solution to my problem.. now that i´ve cleared that... any solutions out there to slow wifi (with strong signal)?

This is a partial solution. It certainly calmed down my internet connection by 90 odd percent. But this slow occasional, sticking still exists on all connections. Interestingly, my internet connection now sticks about as often as it use to crash out. Its almost as if this method somehow forces the connection through. But like I say, it does occasionally still get stuck. I done this trick weeks ago now, and its still there, just alot better.

[Q] Data connection problems

Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you

what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now

OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.

Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention

if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?

Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/

Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?

Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm

[Q] Poor signal on ICS roms, AOSP especially

Can anyone help with an issue I get using AOSP/ICS roms. On a GB rom I normally get 1-4 bars of signal in my house, 3G speed is fairly rubbish but it does work. Whenever I flash any version of CM9 or AOKP I get 0-2 bars of signal, and mostly no mobile data.
The phone can be sitting on a table and show 2 blue bars, often if I pick it up it will change to none and give me network errors. I can normally still send texts and make calls when it is like this, just no data and things like Play Store fail to connect.
Calk's ICS rom may be a little better, but not much (the signal meter on Calk's bounces between 1x and 3G along with low bars).
Switching back to a GB rom I get all my signal back and the slow but actually working 3G. I have tried several modems on both GB and ICS and they show no difference in behaviour (I have tried EL29, FD10, FD16)
Since I have wifi at home it's not a real issue for data, however it seems to kill the battery searching for a signal. The "Time without a signal" shows 20-30% most of the time on ICS, vs 0% on GB.
Any ideas on why ICS roms are giving me no signal?
Cheers,
Richard

I've been getting the same thing but the connection seems to be the same as when I was getting more bars on GB. This is especially true when I'm using Wi-Fi. I'll get one bar of signal strength but it is still fast and I'm nor having connection problems.

i'm having a similar problem, only difference is that mine on ICS was working fine untill i softbricked and restoring back to ICS using CFRoot.. now i (just like you) have 0-2 bars, and have tried dozens of modems and kernels to fix the problem..
eh, maybe i should go back to GB too - see if that fixes my problem

If you search around these forums you'll find something bout getting rid of proxies that the sprint server uses... some people have reported great success and increased service while others have had no noticeable difference, I myself haven't gotten around to trying it, bit I still plan to, sorry I'm mobile right now and can't find the post, I'll see bout linking it when I get home

Here is the thread he's referring to I believe:

I've done this on a couple phones and I've gotten good improvements each time. It will only affect your 3g speeds and not 4g, and it's not a guaranteed improvement.. there are many factors that can affect. Check your speeds before and after to see if it helps you or not! =)

[CM10] loosing data connection until reboot

Hi,
Usually i have wifi enabled permanently, as i have coverage at home, university and t-mobile hotspots. But my nexus sometimes does not get a working data connection if i disable wifi or come back from flight mode. Icon shows reception and 3G/H/H+ but stays grey. I can't access any internet services like mail,http...
If i reboot the device, everything is fine.
Any ideas ?
Latest (-3days behind max) CM10 with stock kernel, XXLF1 baseband, tmobile germany
P.s.: tried to search with google, found nothing. Currently the nexus is my only internet-capable device, so i am sorry if repost...

Try toggling airplane mode?
Beamed from my Grouper.

Same issue here. Get random signal losses and afterwards no data until reboot. I've experienced this with other Roms as well. Toggling the airplane mode sometimes help for data recovering.

Try setting your minimum CPU above 500 Mhz...

How can that change the signal issues?

Maybe toggling wifi helps (sometimes)

I have exactly the same problem on galaxy s. The status bar shows mobile network connection, but the symbol stays grey, and connection is not there. Reboot is the only safe way to solve that. Sometimes toggling airplane mode helps, last time toggling wifi helped.

Changing APN seems to be helpful. Someone that looks good with the current provider.

almost same issue for me...
but there is some weird difference...
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus latest radio, consistent RIL and latest CM10.
I lost data suddenly while browsing.
I can see blue signal with 3G, start browse and it change to H/H+. No problem until now but, when data returns to 3G, all further requests stay "pending" for a while (phone call is not working in this state!!!!). after a minute.... CRASH, all signal lost. Something like a reset.
even toggling data does not work... I simply have to wait that the phone decides to work again.
I'm from Italy, carrier is Vodafone. Someone with some hint?
thanks!

Because on earlier builds of some AOSP ROMs, the radio had a tendency to go to sleep and not wake up when the frequency dropped too low. The common fix at the time was to use a higher number for the minimum frequency...
Read you must...

I was looking up the answers to this same problem. When I'm staying still my internet is fine but when I'm driving down the road I lose signal. I did a google search for "cm10 losing data connection". This is a "normal problem" it is caused from changing between 3g and LTE 4g. I'm still looking up solutions to this problem.

[Q] Wcdma connection problem!

Hi. I've an HTC Desire, with Rooted Gingerbread (2.3.3) and the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 Radio. i'm in italy, under Wind, but i've also a Tim Simcard and both have the same problem: Under WCDMA/GSM or WCDMA only, sometimes the connection drop, maybe during a call, and then i'm not able to receive calls or sms'. most of the time the data connection works fine, except that sometimes it remains stuck and says it's uploading something (the icon on the notification bar) but after less than a minute it goes again. Please help me, i've tried different roms with different radios, when i first bought the phone (used from uk) i remember it worked fine, i started noticing the problem after i installed a gingerbread rom with sense 3. i can't use the GSM only mode, cause i've a data plan and i need browsing, so GSM is too slow
thanks

It may just happen in areas where you have poor signal.

thanks for the answer. i noticed that this situation is stronger in my bedroom, where i keep my pc. not in my house, just in my bedroom. the signal is not poor, i tried to download many app from the play store, and sometimes the download is fast, sometimes the download stops. then i tried the same thing out of my house, but connected with the same cell, and even if the signal was lower, and the download speed too, the download went good, and the signal never dropped, the connection type was WCDMA/GSM and the phone was in HSDPA. i don't know what it can be, i'm starting to think that there's something in my room with and electromagnetic field.

Maybe you have well-built house
Anyway, it's common problem. I have 3 Desires and they all loose connection in some areas for a while.
Every phone behave like that.
For me a useful trick was to change from GSM/(WCDMA preferred) to GSM/WCDMA auto as I'm hardly ever using 3G.
Phone chooses the strongest cell now, not just WCDMA cells.
I'm using CM7.2 and in CM forum there is a lot of issues considering 3G stability in Desire, so not much can be done.:crying:
