[Q] HTC Desire mobile data on browser problem - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i recently rooted my phone and installed custom rom in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171110
It works well, but one thing is bothering me very much. Mobile data works perfect on other programs like Delfi.lt or 15min or Google Play Market, but when it comes to a simple browser it cant load anything. It loads up a bit of the loading bar and freezes. This is really bothering me.
Before rooting everything went smooth, but now i feel like rooting+custom rom wasnt such a good ideal after all, cause mobile internet is very crucial for me.
Problem :
Browser not working on mobile data
Working :
Browser works on WiFi
Mobile data works on other programs that use internet.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Yours, Vecord
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35066436#post35066436 Tried this ROM but it was the same.

What browser are you using? Does it do the same with other browsers?

I'm using the default browser, but i've tried Dolphin Browser and the result was the same. WiFi works, mobile data doesnt.

Go into the bootloader and check. Turn off the phone and boot it back up using volume down + and power.
Take note of what is says beside "RADIO-", and post it here.

Radio-5 17.05.23
looking forward for info

I still have some ideas
Did you full wipe before installing the rom?
Did you make any modifications to the rom before or after install?
Do you have an app that interferes with the browser, or with the 3g signal?
Are you sure thay other apps are capable of using the internet?
Are you sure that the speed isn't too slow for the browser? Maybe you have apps that don't need fast speeds to operate, but browsers do need a decent speed for them to run. Download the speed test app from the play store and do a test. Post the results.
Did you use the sim unlocker? Maybe that messed up some stuff.
Are your internet settings correctly configured? Double check your settings.
Nooooww, I'm out of ideas.

Hulu

Is it possible to watch hulu on the evo? If so could you inform me how.....thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nope, Hulu blocks mobile platforms directly. I just tried with my rooted Fresh ROM. No go.
Actually if you're running a 2.2 ROM you can install a hacked flash that allows for hulu access. I do this currently on the cm6 ROM. Check out this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054

Could you not just change your user agent?
If Hulu ran on my laptop the way it runs on the phone, then i would say it is crap. But i think we need to remember that this is a service that is actively blocked by Hulu. To get it on the phone you have to use a hacked flash apk, then change the user agent and basically trick the browser into thinking you're on your phone instead of the computer.
It's choppy, but its also trying to run more data than the phone was meant to handle, i think. If we had a data stream from Hulu that was desgned specifically for our phones, then i'm sure we'd have better performance.
This is most defenitely NOT my area of expertise, but just an observation.

That may be an issue with your reception. I've been running hulu on my evo for about a week now and it's never been anything short of prestine.

You're right about reception. I live in the edge of town, so not the best 3G. On wifi it was fine. I'm gonna try again at work tomorrow, better coverage there.

All browsers stop loading in the middle of a webpage

....except for Opera. Stock, xScope, Dolphin, etc all fail to load anything.
I have no idea when this started. Just flashed from CM7 #20 from #5 with a full wipe and everything to see if that fixed the problem. On the very first boot, without signing into my Google account, every website loads fine. Then I signed into my Google account through the market, downloaded Titanium Backup, and tried the same website again, which didn't work. 3G is still connected, it's just not downloading anything. Every other app that uses 3G works fine. I'm pretty sure Titanium Backup isn't the problem meaning something is wrong with my Google account?
no help for me?

I believe there is a newer version of CM than #20. Have you tried that?
Also did you check if anyone else is having a similar issue with this rom in the rom forum?
Are you experiencing the same problems with wifi?
What kernel are you using?
What screen version phone do you have?
Have you experienced any other issues with your phone?
Have you seen this problem before with other roms?
You said ...except for Opera. Stock, xScope, Dolphin, etc what does this mean? Everything else works ok except the browsers you specified? If so, what works then?
Help would be on the way once more information is provided for troubleshooting. The more information you provide the better someone can jump in with a possible solution and brainstorming Cheers.
Did you restore anything from TiB? Should only do App Only, never System Data if that's the case.

Running #22 right now but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Even on the very first boot the browser doesn't load any pages. Same problem with wifi. Using Chad's 4.1 kernel. AMOLED screen. Didn't notice this problem until maybe a week ago when I as on #5. For some reason, the market started force closing on me too this morning even after a new wipe/ROM, probably has something to do with the new Android web store or something.

Hmmm, can you try a different AOSP kernel? Test that and let us know if you are getting different results.

Everything works fine on the latest Evervolv. Guess it's a CM7 thing. Anyone know what exactly is wrong though?
Could've been your host file blocking (or at least attempting to block) ads. That was my problem before. I deleted it and poof, everything was fine lol.

I also had a problem where the stock browser would stop downloading web pages on CM 6.1, I was on the last nightly version whatever that was. I downloaded the newest flashplayer 10 from the market and that fixed it.
Cache?
Assuming you tried clearing browser cache and any/all cookies, etc?

Browser Mod to change useragent to desktop

I pmed intronauta from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197496 to mod it for our Epic Touch. He sent me this file and instructions. This is for deodexed roms only. Can someone try it and see if this works? I have an odexed rom at this time and didn't want to goto deodexed rom yet since mine is running fine. He said he can make an odex version though.
You must rename /system/app/Browser.apk->Browser.apk.bak and Browser.odex->Browser.odex.bak , put the deodexed version in /system/app and reboot. If it fails and there is a FC, delete data app, wipe dalvik-cache, check permissions in the apk (same as others in the path).
If doesn't work, delete deodexed version and revert the original name for Browser.apk-odex.
Edit: He pmed me back and said it should work on odexed roms also. I tried it and it works. I have the option to choose between Android or Desktop in the settings menu and it sticks after closing the browser.
Have you notified any of the dev's?
You do realize the stock browser sucks right? If u just installed dolphin browser hd. You can change the user agent anytime u want and its much faster

I use Opera mobile but the stock browser is faster and smoother than any 3rd party browser I've used including Dolphin. Opera is better than Dolphin imo because it doesn't jump back to the top left of the page when hitting the back button.

I use Dolphin, and have been since my OG Epic. Interestingly, and I've seen this reported elsewhere, on some sites even though I have the user agent set to desktop I still get the mobile version. Engadget for one does this. Not sure why.
Thanks nobrakes. I've been waiting for this since I bought my E4GT.
IMO, people should be hitting the thanks button....instead of posting "Stock browser sucks". Lol

I notice this also with sites that have mobile versions. With Opera it goes to the desktop site though if set to desktop.

I tried this. I now have an option under settings for ua android/desktop but sites still load in mobile. I tried going to about:useragent and the setting still won't stick to anything but custom.

Yep. Doesn't stick.
I see what you mean by doesn't stick. I tried going on certain sites and it still went to mobile version. I've been using Opera mobile for a while and didn't run into this issue. I just like how smooth and fast the stock browser is.

OrBot

I got it to work, its really nice, but man it really is slow. Is there a way to speed it up a bit, I mean Im using my SgS3 which can run some pretty fast wifi speeds. Its slower then dial up T_T. I ask because there are a few people who say its good and fast and there is no noticable speed drop when using TOR.
Sometimes tor is slow. Try using a new identity (or whatever it's called) and it might speed things up.

Identity??? How does one do that?
Toggle Orbot off and back on again. It will route you through a different way and maybe it will be faster. Just keep trying until you find a good one.

[Q] Dolphin Browser Crashing

I have installed dolphin browser both way Side loaded, and From Google Play but it always crashes. I have uninstalled, install again and no luck. I have tried with flash installed and without flash, but nothing seems to help. Do anybody has an answer?. I'm currently running Cm, but I like dolphin better.
I had the same problem with Dolphin crashing. I switched to Chrome and it's working well.
