Question Some apps and websites not working on 4G/5G - Google Pixel 6 Pro

I have this weird bug since day 1 where some apps and websites never load using mobile data but working on Wi-Fi. At first I thought it's my data that acts up but the thing is it's working when I turn on my VPN:

Anyone who got the same problem or an idea for a fix please? Thank you.

Need help with a couple of apps

Would it be possible for some of you guys to install a couple of apps to test as I'm having problems with them.
The apps are World Newspapers (Abhishek Kumar) & BBC News (Jim Blacker). They install fine & launch. The problem I'm having is that I can't read any of the articles over wifi. When I turn off wifi & use 3g connection everything works fine.
I've done a hard reset & installed just those two apps but same thing happens. Also what I found is after a hard reset I can't access Android market over wifi. I have to switch off wifi & sign in using 3g connection first but after that its fine
Thanks

It happened to me as well and same as you first I had to access the market with 3G connection first to pass the terms and services stage/page.
Just a wild guess here... maybe both apps need to know where you are (location/country) so they can push the right news to you and that is not possible over a wifi connection.
I have both apps installed on a Dell Streak, HTC Desire, Galaxy S & Orange San Francisco with everything working perfectly fine over wifi.

Ouch! I did say it was a wild guess. Do you own all those devices? : )
Have you tried to set your network type to 2G only to see if that helps? Please kill/stop both apps first and if you are about to change your network type then please don't forget to reset it back.
Sorry mate wasn't trying to be cocky....
I've just installed Engadget app & having problems with that as well. When using over wifi it downloads the articles text only, pictures don't load. Again over 3g the whole article including pictures downloads just fine.
FYI Pulse app displaying same behaviour...
I think I may have a faulty phone.

What you just described in above meets when Data Server is enabled. Menu>Settings>Data Manager>Data server
This feature is meant for 3G though so I don't get why that happens over your wifi.
Another thing came in my mind was that a standard router supports 4 ports (connections) and you listing dozens of devices I was wondering how many devices are connected to the router when you are using your Defy? Surely you have a couple of pc/laptop too : )

My phone speaker stopped working after a couple of weeks so I returned to Amazon for refund. My Defy definately had a problem with the apps I described including yours, but as there not much people replying to this thread then maybe it was limited to just my device.
My friend
Where are you and which ISP you are using?
I believe the problem doesn't caused by your Defy.

HI there its nothing to do with isp. I have a Dell Streak, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S & JUST got a Nexus S & they all have no problems with the apps.
Oh. I'm sorry about that. Can you check /system/etc/host ? You can view that as a text file. In a normal situation you can see "localhost 127.0.0.1" . if there has any other text, could you tell me?

[Q]Problems with firewall apps[and possible solution/bugs]?

On data?
I've tried both Avast firewall and Droidwall, checking off different apps each time, but they all ended up connecting to the internet as if they were never blocked.
But when I switched to wifi, the filter/blacklist works again.
Is anyone having similar problems or ICS comes with a secret function of bypassing firewall on data?
I'm running stock ICS 4.02, rooted of course. Thanks
Update: I found out that if I uncheck set mobile data limit under data usage, all my firewall apps work again.
So could anyone confirm/find out if this newly implemented function in ICS kinda interferes with the firewall filters used in most apps now?

I haven't used anything else but eNETraffic. Works great if you notice to switch firewall on

Edit: It's not working too.
OMG this is driving me nuts, together with the 20% battery drain/hour.

I have the same issue, and this is one of the only posts about it. Have you found a way to fix it? I'm at a point where I'm about to just sell this. I can't get anything done. Do you by chance have T-Mobile?
Same issue. T-Mobile here. Doesn't disturb me enough to sell the phone, haven't had the issue since going to a custom ROM. I'm sure it'll be fixed with OTA's or whatever.
Hello
i have the same problem
i am on VIPNET Croatia
is some fix coming soon
it is very annoying
Really nice to know I'm not the only one. But my god, it's getting worse as time goes on. I'm at the point where I can't even get data unless I reboot the phone 5-6 times, and only for a few seconds. I am completely out of ideas.

please can you tell me witch coustom rom did you put in htc M8
and solve the data issue
i am going crazy with this phone
and i want to put same coustom rom like you
to get problem fix
please help
I have been using my m8 since the day I got it back in early April and have never experienced that issue. I am also on tmo but have the dev edition with stock rom but I live in the city so I always get a strong and good signal.
Possible solution
My M8 worked great for a month when about a week ago I've started having serious issues with the HSPA data.
After working great for a few minutes the data stopped working.
The H icon showed that traffic was sent from the phone but no traffic received by the phone.
Sometimes the data connection was restored by itself and sometimes I has to toggle the data connection off/on to have it restored.
It both cases the data connection failed again after several minutes.
All the diagnostics app showen that there was hspa connection.
After trying almost anything I could think of I found out what causes my problem:
It's the F**** NFC!!!
I've forgot that a week ago I've disabled the NFC thinking this will save battery life (though the battery life is great).
Turning the NFC on (followed by a power-down/power up cycle) solved all the data connection problem.
I've verified several times that NFC disable is indeed the cause of my problem.
Hope this helps others on this thread.

Problems connecting and saving WiFi passwords?

My brand new G3 won't let me save any WiFi network passwords. It also says "failed to connect " for every network and has me 're enter the paraphrase every time.
Even though this happens it will connect to some networks. But in the WiFi status screen where you choose your network, it doesn't show me as connected.
Anyone else having similar issues?
EDIT: FIX FOUND:
RudeYute said:
I looked at the wifi configurations in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicants.conf
I found that the network I couldn't connect to was stored in there, but with the wrong password. I edited the file with the correct password, and all is good now!

I followed his advice and just deleted every saved network in this file then rebooted. Everything connected, saved, and works perfectly now.

Have you tried to restart the router that might help I'm not having that problem or maybe a factory reset
I have just tried to connect to another network and have the same problem - works fine at my place, but not my parents' place. Problem is definitely phone related not network related.

Try to change router's password encryption protocol

I have tried that already - tried WPA2 TKIP and AES. Don't really want to lower my security any further.
Fortunately I'm not here very often, and I get 4G data with my 8GB allowance, so can always use mobile data.
Did you remove or freeze any of the LG bloatware? Stuff like Wfd services control the Wi-FI.
I also had this problem and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.
I'm having the same issue. it will connect to the open networks but wont save them. have no problem connecting to wifi that is protected though. I did freeze some apps...not sure which one did it though. probably one of the carrier iq ones if its my luck. i have the tmobile model
Just did a reset. First I did not let Google restore all the passwords and everything was connecting fine. Then I did another reset where I did let Google restore and it had the problem again. It is something to do with how Google is restoring the account.... ****ing LG messed something up

Hey, I had the same issue 2 days ago. My solution was to delete the wifi config files folder (root needed, of cause). The path is /data/etc/wifi. Before you do that you may want to turn off wifi. After a reboot everything worked fine

Ya i could have done that too but the phone was only a day old and wanted to actually figure out what was causing it. It is how google restore works on the g3. Great you found that fix though for anyone not wanting to totally start their phone from scratch again!

Hello.
I'm having exactly the same problem but that folder dosn't eve exist. /etc/wifi but that's it.
What file do you erased exactly?
thanks!!

FIXED; for some reason restoring wifi passwords rom LG backup kills the ability to save them. ( doesn't even restore anything, just messes it up) oh sweet irony lol
Need Help Still
I have been unable to connect to some Wi-Fi networks. At my work I cannot get the phone to connect to hardly anything on Wi-Fi unless I go to the other side of the building. Then sometimes it does connect and work fine for a while then all of a sudden it starts acting like it's not connected even though it shows connected and I have to reboot the phone or turn off Wi-Fi to access anything. Then after the reboot it won't connect again. It works fine at home and in other parts of my office, but not at my desk. All my other devices (laptops tablets and old phone) were able to connect here just fine. Any Ideas?
I looked at the wifi configurations in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicants.conf
I found that the network I couldn't connect to was stored in there, but with the wrong password. I edited the file with the correct password, and all is good now!

Hello,
you must edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with wifi enabled. If you try this with wifi disabled, old (wrong) configuration file is restored from unknown location backup file.
I had a same problem and all passwords in config file was right. I thing that problem was in first network block. There missed SSID and PSK="NONE" while KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK in this block.
I replace whole config file from /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Ive had a few problems with wifi between different networks at work and when i updated my phone it solved the proble . I thought it was just the updat . When i had to do a hard reset for a different unrelated problem i got the problem back. However, when i went from Dalvik to ART it fixed the problem. Im figuring that something in the updating process sorts the wifi settings out and obviously its not limited to a software update but also includes optimization.
Deleting /data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf and p2p_supplicant.com solved the issue for me. hope this helps.
I'm a bit lost...

[Q] Issue with Wifi

I have been using ZF2 4gb 2.3 ver for around 10 days now and didn't have any issues yet.
But since morning it has been dropping Wifi and only connects back when I unlock it. Anyone else facing this issue?

On second thought, I updated all the apps yesterday (for first time since I got the phone, even though I installed system updates as soon as I booted it) and last night was the first time i noticed that it had dropped Wifi signal. I am hazarding a wild guess but it's due to some system app bug that was introduced in some recent update. Hopefully it'll soon be rectified.

Make sure that WiFi is allowed to be on during sleep in the WiFi settings.
Also recommend using ASUS ZenUI app called ASUS Support. There are several helpful tips with basic troubleshooting techniques for your device which includes WiFi troubleshooting.
If still not resolved, recommend performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. For hardware reset/wipe cache partition instructions please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/

Oh well, never had to do that ever before. Should have thought of that with me being techie and all. Thanks for help, no I'll go and find a corner to hide in shame.
For me text wont come in when your on wifi after reboot. You must use data to send text then you can reconnect wifi. I was not getting any text and found out this.
