Help Cannot browse the web!!!

[nolegirl]

I just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I am connected to my network via wifi, but when I try to use the Tab's browser, it keeps saying "web page not available", even though I'm connected. Can someone help?

That's often reported in various forums as a stock browser issue.

I'd first go into Market and download another web browser (Opera? Dolphin?... see this thread: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-tab/217931-best-browser-tab.html#post1874862) to see if that is the issue rather than a connection problem.

This happens to me from time to time and when it does, it's because it appears I'm connected (Notification & Settings), but I'm actually not. Toggling WiFi often fixes it. Once it didn't, but cycling power did.

Hi,

I have noticed that this issue is arising if you enable both Wi-FI and GPS.
Disable GPS and try to launch the browser.It should work.

Opera browser is much better that the default browser.

I have this same problem (Bell Canada version of the Tab).

I don't agree that "it's because it appears I'm connected". Other apps still work even though web page won't load.

Toggling the Wi-Fi does help though. Or simply turning off the Wi-Fi and going with cell data.

On the whole it is quite an annoying bug - it happens to me quite often. I guess I will look at the other browsers.
