Not always connecting to internet on command but can always recieve emails

I have a curve 8330 on the Altell/Verizon network and for some odd reason when I try to connect to the internet it won't always oblige, it will connect and work fine, then no more than 5 minutes later it won't connect for about another ten minutes, yet I'm always able to recieve emails, even when it won't connect to the internet. It's always 1X and not 1x, and I've tried all the simple fixes like a battery pull etc. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since you are only getting 1X, I would suggest you contact VZW for support...something is not right. 1X means that everything is going through the voice network...which can include internet access, but it will be slow and flaky. EV will give you the power of the data network...but VZW needs to help you figure out why you are not getting that.

  • TS1398 On my iPhone I can connect to Internet on wifi but can't connect to iTunes store for my updates.

    Using my wi-fi as usual for email and FB.  Then tried to do my updates in iTunes but message said "unable to connect". Shut down phone but didn't help.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Can't connect to Internet via Airport but CAN via Ethernet

    Yeah so I have tried TWO different of my AX's and can not connect to the internet via EITHER even though Network Status says "you are connected to the internet via Airport". But, if I hook the ethernet cable directly to the computer from the modem it connects to the internet fine. What am I missing. Oh yeah, and on one of the AX's the "music" tab does not appear next to the "WDS" tab thus not allowing AirTunes on that AX, any ideas on that too? PLEASE HELP!!

    CONNECTED!! After resetting the modem, llike you suggested, I am able to get the wireless network back up and running, BUT...I am still having problems with one base station not showing the "music" tab and thus not letting me stream music to it. When I hit "configure" the tab shows for a quick second then disappears. Any idea?

  • Help! Can't connect to internet on apps but can on safari

    Whenever i try to go on youtube or facebook app it says i cant connect, however i can still connect to the internet on safari and on the app store (except for the featured section)
    Ive tried:
    Restaring ipod
    Forgetting wifi
    Restarting router
    Please help!

    Did it work before when connected to this network?
    A network can be configured to block specified networks.
    Does it work when connect to another network like  StarBucks since those usually do not block sites.

  • Safari 5.1.2 won't open in lion and mail opens but can't get email

    I turned on my computer the otherday and I couldn't get safari to open. When I click on it it just bounces in the dock for hours. I tryed to do a software update, which included updating safari, but my computer got stuck in the installing screen and after a full night I eventually had to hold the power button. Also my mail is opening but can't recieve emails and the only way to close it is by force quitting it. I ran Onyx and was able to get safari and mail working and was also able to install the update, but about an hour later it started doing the same thing. Any help?

    Since this is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware, you should go to the Safari and Lion forums.  Do a search and/or ask a question.  Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

    Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

  • TS3276 I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails except my main computer.  Any ideas why?

    I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails (ipad, iphone).  However, my main computer will not receive emails anymore.  Why?

    Ok.  So this is interesting.
    Previously, I had checked my storage with Yahoo Mail Plus and I had tons of available space.
    Similar to this post, I sent an email to Yahoo Mail customer service outlining my problem.  Did not receive a response.
    Despite my Yahoo Mail Plus account showing plenty of available space, I decided to clean-up (delete emails and delete the resulting Trash) the various folders in the Yahoo Mail Plus account.
    While deleting emails from the Sent folder and Spam folder in Yahoo Mail Plus, my Mac Mail started uploading my inbox from Yahoo Mail Plus.
    I don't know if someone at Yahoo Mail "fixed something" in response to my customer service email or whether Yahoo Mail wasn't allowing Mac Mail to upload my Inbox due to some "folder sublimit" issue that wasn't readily apparent (which was "resolved" when I started cleaning up the Yahoo Mail folders).
    I know it wasn't the overall storage that shows on your Yahoo Mail account because I checked that as one of the first things. 
    Anyway, I'm back up and running.  Thanks for responding and working with me to try to figure this out. 

  • HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

    Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.
