Internet Browser Problem

[pintosal]

My Galaxy W has problems browsing the internet.

When I open a web page, either via Google or directly, I often get a message to say the web page cannot be accessed. The progress bar on the browser moves about 10% and then stops.

This happens at home, or on the road.

When I'm home, I use WiFi via my wireless router, where I have a very fast and reliable fibre-to-the-cabinet connection, but I still have problems. However, I can connect to the web using my laptop, so it's not a router wireless problem.

Away from home, my mobile network connection has plenty of signal, but I still get problems.

If I use tethering, then I have no problem using the Galaxy as a WiFi hotspot, so the mobile network internet access is working fine.

This suggested that the problem might be an interaction between WiFi and mobile data.

As an experiment, at home I disabled Use Packet Data. I then found internet access works OK. So now, at home, I disable this option.

Does anyone else have similar problems?

How can I get WiFi working well at home without the need to disable Use Packet Data?

have you tried a different browser? try opera mobile from playstore.

I have tried different browsers (Dolphin, Firefox and Maxthon) all with the same result.

So I suspect it's an underlying problem with the way that Android handles communications.

Part of the problem is that at home, my mobile signal is very weak, and I think the OS always tries to use the mobile broadband first. Hence when I turn off the use of mobile data it works fine.

Just a theory....

I've had this issue too. Seems the phone fights over using wifi or packet data as you say. It does auto switch. I assume it sees a better 3G than the wifi so wants to use it. I've also found power saving mode interferes because the phone wants to turn off the wifi. It might help to check your settings for power saving mode. I un-checked the auto off wifi setting.

As to browsers, I've started using Opera Mini, despite the comments on PlayStore. I find it excellent. Especially having an easily accessible refresh button when using forums
