Stock Browser won't work with wifi

[ssaslow]

My stratosphere recently broke and I got a new one through the insurance I had on the phone. The new phone with the stock browser works fine in 3/4g but won't connect to the internet when using wifi. I downloaded Firefox and it works fine through the wifi. Anyone else with this issue?

This sounds like a common (but unconfirmed) problem with the FF1 over-the-air update recently pushed out. You can check your firmware in Settings -> About, near the bottom.

Here's how I temporarily fixed the FF1 data and Wi-Fi problem while we wait for a real fix from Samsung and Verizon:

Check your internet proxy settings under wifi settings, advanced. I found misc characters there after the upgrade. Upon clearing them out, the stock browser started working again.

This is a common issue anytime a ROM is flashed to the Stratosphere, not sure why but it seems to be a common thing and has been since the phone was released... Even if nothing "appears" to be there, put in a valid IP address or DNS name (I used proxy.proxy.com), save and exit, then go back in and remove it and save and exit, always cleared up my issues with WiFi browsing. Of course, I just used the Maxthon Browser, always worked irregardless.

Thanks my proxy settings were wifi_static_dns1
I deleted it and the stock browser works!

Thank you! Verizon store and customer care couldn't fix this issue and so they sent me a new phone. I should have hit up this forum at the very start. At least I have a new phone though!

Thank you!! Same thing with my replacement phone. Cleared the Proxy and now it works

OMG, thank you so much. I have had this problem since Oct 2012 and yep VZW wants to do nothing about it. I tried the opera app and that didnt work much better.I never thought to get the firefox app, because I quit using firefox on my PC and Laptop and only use chrome now. So it seemed simpler to have everything on Google. Thanks so much for you post. I am now on my WIFI with firefox! I am getting a new phone in 2 months as well, I am sure your contract will be up as well. I like the qwerty keyboard but the galaxy with the keyboard seems to be not much diff than the Stratosphere.

Go in wifi settings and uncheck do not connect if signal is weak.and it should work
