Intermittent net connection down? *Mogul*

[supdawg]

Ok.. just a quick update. The past few days have been horrible to say the least. I only have changed two things. I installed pocketcm contacts, and I set up weather for HTC home.

I also did install Opera Mini to see if I can access the net while PIE was not working.. As others have mentioned, it does work.

So that obviously rules out the network as the culprit.

I do have the registry hack that adds the disconnect button to the EV sign, but cycling the data connection, and having it reconnect to the sprint network does not fix my issue. Nor does applying flight mode, nor soft reset.

I either get a blank web page, an error stating it cannot load the page, or even every know and again a DNS error.

I guess if I cannot find the issue again, I will be forced to do a hard reset yet again.

This will be my 4th time in a month with a hard reset. Does anyone think it could be just my phone? Perhaps swapping it out with another phone might help?

Something is going on with DNS servers is seems to me. I did a ping to google and found the IP is 64.233.167.99.. I wrote that down on a note in my Mogul. Then I waited until I couldn't connect with PIE... Plugged in the IP address and Google popped right up. Tried to connect to a www address.. and it just sat there waiting. So that tells me that the DNS server isn't acting properly.

Although I don't have Opera (Have used in the past on diff phones) I checked their FAQ. According to http://www.operamini.com/help/faq/#general they are using a Proxy server to "Optimize data throughput" to the end user. Opera may be connecting to an IP directly.. bypassing DNS name routing (Which would make sense if you want to have the fastest possible connection). Also if there is a DNS problem that would help explain why FTP works.. assuming people are plugging in a IP address and not something like "ftp.wherever.com".
