6/2/12 slow 3G browsers anybody?

**eve6er69** · 06-02-2012, 08:21 PM

So I was talking in another thread and users using att,tmo and vz have chimed in claiming slow speeds.

Just like when the servers were down before or right before they went down for good I have horrible 3G as does my wife and best friend on out berrys. On wifi its great so we know its not a mass phone issue.

Downloading opera mini solves the problem on 3G leaving me to believe that the servers browser may be overloaded or overworked since opera mini bypasses the rim servers and just uses carrier data only.

Thought it was just me but hearing others chime in adds to the argument.

I've wiped and reloaded, replaced my sim today and still no dice.

Let me know if anyone is having any slow browser issues?

Yes its driving me insane. Att Harrisburg PA. Opera works better but still slow.

**charlielefaux** · 06-02-2012, 08:45 PM

Slow browser with pages sometimes not loading at all, all other internet functions seem fine. Ive been experiencing this for about two or three days now. Im in New York City on TMobile.
Edit: The browser is effectively useless.

I've been having issues for a week or more. IL

**eve6er69** · 06-02-2012, 08:51 PM

Yup past 3 or so days for me also.

So if its different carriers does that mean its BIS? I'm semi ignorant of how that works. I was going to call att soon. Started yesterday or maybe the day before but worse all day today to the point of being unusable at times.

**eve6er69** · 06-02-2012, 08:59 PM

Yes if its multiple carriers more likely than not it is a bis issue. Unless all carriers are having data issues. Lol

I just recently came from a verizon galaxy nexus back to my bold 9930 and the browser has been working fine for about week now. today the browser is so slow it wont even load espn fast and facebook not even refreshing I guess ill go back to my Nexus and see if its having problems with data

**eve6er69** · 06-02-2012, 09:12 PM

Download opera mini. That bypasses the noc and you can surf.

Im the OP from the other thread. It was driving me insane today. Now that I tried the sim in the 9860 and the browser was slow on it, it's gota be server side issues. Opera here I come.

I'm on Sprint and mine has been crawling since yesterday. Very frustrating.

**MisterShark** · 06-02-2012, 11:01 PM

My 9930's native browser was crawling and at times failing altogether siting a communication failure at times, all the while with full signal strength. I'm on VzW and currently on vacation in Washington DC.

**sectionsix** · 06-02-2012, 11:55 PM

My wife and I have been having issues all day on our Tmo 9780's in AZ.

**Chrisy** · 06-03-2012, 12:33 AM

Day 3 for me in CA. On a 9900 running 7.1. The browser became so bad that wifi is the only option.

What's the problem?

**Uglyindian** · 06-03-2012, 01:37 AM

Mine has finally been good for about a half hour!

**Chrisy** · 06-03-2012, 01:41 AM

Same here. Crises averted.

**chewblock** · 06-03-2012, 01:43 AM

really? mines still don't work too great

**Uglyindian** · 06-03-2012, 02:42 AM

Still good an hour later here. Is yours good yet Chewblock?

**charlielefaux** · 06-03-2012, 07:22 AM

As of 08:21:21, in New York City, my TMobile 9900 (its browser more specifically) appears to be functioning normally again.
Update: as of 11:21:32, my broswer is no longer able to access web pages, the problem is very much back. Wifi enabled it works.

**Tõnis** · 06-03-2012, 08:20 AM

All the symptoms expressed, as of yesterday. It's okay once in a while, other times not. (Sprint in RI and southeastern MA)

**eve6er69** · 06-03-2012, 09:54 AM

Just turned my wifi off and still having the same issue. I'm going to send service books and do a reboot and see if that helps.
