PurpleStarGirl Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 How's your connection? Sometimes having internet problems can cause browser issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't confirm that you haven't been able to access Google, but we'll take your word for it. Are you sure you are calling the correct number?

Fweethawt Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks, everybody. Within about an hour after posting this, it started working for me. I kept getting the old "web page not available" notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Next time you have internet problems with your phone just call 911 for help. It's quicker than posting here. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I did call 911. And when the ambulance showed up, I was like, wtf, I don't need an ambulance. I need google. and they were all like that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. You should have Google'd first to see how to avoid that. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fweethawt Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's doing it again! I'm starting to think it has something to do with my wireless router. If I turn off wi-fi on my phone and just use mobile data instead, I can get right on Google. This is very strange and makes no sense to me...

Just go to the Play store and grab one (type "traceroute" and I think there's one called just that which will work okay). If you don't know how to use it try it when things are working and type the address for the place you want to get to and it will show all the hops your packets take to get there. If it stops working again, run it and it should show where packets fail to go past. If it's your router you should see things stop right at hop 1 or so (wherever your router is) and if it's outside your network you can see that too. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♦ Fuego ♦ Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Some wireless routers go down fairly often, some brands are better than others. I installed a couple at work that are cheapos and they've been dropping connections and going blind for up to 90 minutes at a time. I'm tossing them and getting a much better rated and faster couple of routers. I use an old Linksys at home, but will be upgrading when I get some $$$.

Do you replace the manufacturers firmware with Tomato (my preference), DD-WRT or something similar? I've had some shit routers perk right up after that. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
