    Hello people,

    I traded in my Blackberry for a Samsung Moment through Sprint back around June. I wanted the new Sprint 4G phone but figured I would make due with the Moment until the craze died down. Anyhow, I own a small firearm forum,Semi-auto Rifles. This is my main reason for going with a driod phone. It allows me to monitor my site away from home without popping out my laptop. Well for the last 2-3 months the Moment did it's job flawlessly. I was able to use it to maintain my site...even when my cable modem blew up one time and some cable guy disconnected our cable by mistake.

    My problem started this past weekend when all of a sudden my Samsung Moment started having issues locating my website. I keep getting the same "Web Page Not Available" message. Now sometimes it will allow me to access the home page and then freak out on the forum index page. This is the only site I have trouble with, I can access any other site and surf until I'm blue in the face. I took my phone down to the local Sprint store and they said my phone was out dated. So after 15mins and deleting all my Apps, they had my phone working again. Then come about 2-3hrs later, I started getting the same Web Page Not Available" message. During the whole time my site has been up and running with zero issues.


    Anyhow, does anyone have a clue? I'm lost and this phone is worthless if I can't even access my own website.

    PS: While I was at the Sprint store, I started tooling around on the new HTC 4G phone. It pulled up my web site and worked for about 10-15 minutes before it started giving me the same dang "Web Page Not Working" message. So I'm not sure if it's a phone thing or a Sprint thing? Then for the interest of Science, I started surfing other related forums to see if maybe Sprint was blocking firearm forums. I was able to tool around on other gun forums for about 10 minutes with zero issues.

    Thanks for any and all help, it's greatly appreciated,

    Ray

    For what it is worth, I have the evo and cannot access your forum atm.

    Look into tapatalk for your forum is my first idea. Second is try another browser like dolphin hd.

    Thanks,

    Ya, I was using their EVO display for about 10 minutes accessing my site before it crapped out on my also. But what gets me is I was able to access my site for 2-3 months without an issues. I'm talking on the site using the phone all day. I wonder if Spring changed something this weekend?

    Anyhow, I'll check those out and see if it helps.

    maybe it's an issue with the android phone itself
    I searched on google and found several droid users with this issue
    they recommended power cycle the phone, remove the battery and place in back
    also to clear your cache and cookies

    for what it's worth, I pulled up your site on my iphone and haven't had any problems surfing around

    Thanks,

    Power cycling the phone so to say only helped for a short while and then nothing. Anyhow, I don't know if my IT guy installed the smart phone program suggested above yet but my phone seems to be working about 90% of the time which is better than it's 2% prior. Fingers crossed it's about sorted out.

    But I think that these both are really very best to choose, I like to use both of these. Thanks for sharing this here.
