Yeah until I manually entered the DNS server. Before, I'd checked on the way home to see if it was just the tower near work but it had problems all the way home. About 20 miles. I figure that was about 3-4 towers.

well i did that and its still hung up in "locating" once it gets to that page it loads fast and fine on that site but once i go to a new site it get hung up in the "locating" stage again.
i did notice that if i X out of PIE and make a quick call (4 seconds) go back to browser and try and load that page i was trying before it loads fast. Nino

little b is bits Big B is Bytes. You might try switching you last digit on your DNS server. It sounds like it is still taking awhile to connect to the DNS server and then after that it pops up normally. The last number can be 1-6. Try changing your primary and alt. Six different servers, one might work better then the other for you.

Any definite fix? I don't see why we would have to manually change a setting on our phones because of something sprint did.

Well, DNS is the locating service for interweb traffic. Without DNS, you would all have to type in numbers instead of friendly names for sites. So lets try this...
For those of you having trouble with locating sites on the internet - yet speedtests all come out great... First try typing in http://www.ppcgeeks.com and see how long it takes to load (if at all). After a minute or so, if the page hasn't snapped up yet, or if it took forever long to load... Try typing in http://208.113.163.51 and see if anything different happens. If the page loads fast/normal to you, then you clearly have a DNS issue and its related to the DNS server you have applied to your connection. If you are pulling your DNS server address from Sprint - then yeah you are likely gonna have trouble with it from time to time. Sprint has probably the worst DNS servers I have seen in a long time - and I even have COMCAST internet at home (so I should know all about bad DNS..  )For those of you trying this without results... you have to make sure that the CM_Guardian file is GONE from your startup directory... if not, every change you make will get re-borked after a soft reset. Its there to keep us from F@@king up (read-Improving) our devices because Sprint wants them all setup the same way. Try what I said above... you can use the digits to any website even without working Domain Name translation servers. Without DNS though, PPCGeeks.com is nothing more than 208.113.163.51... ***EDIT*** I just clicked the link above and for whatever reason, Firefox won't load the site on my computer In place of http://www.ppcgeeks.com you can use http://www.microsoft.com and In place of http://208.113.163.51 you can use http://207.46.197.32 http://www.microsoft.com is equal to http://207.46.197.32

I have Comcast too and I've never had any DNS issues.
... Come to think of it, I've never had any with Sprint either. *shrugs* The only time sites don't fly up on the screen of my 6700 is either when I've been browsing in Opera for a long time and have to soft reset because it freezes or when my EVDO drops to 1x.
