Does anybody have any problems with the Vita's browser randomly losing connection? I use the browser quite a bit and it's become more obvious to me lately. The problem always happens like this:
1.) I start the browser and enter a web address.
2.) The page loads rather quickly. I can stream videos, read forums, etc.
3.) If the video is too long or I stay on the page for too long (maybe a few minutes), the video stream will suddenly stop and links will no longer work. If I click on a link, an error message will come up, but the specific error message is often different. It usually reads "Could not connect to the internet." or something like that.
The curious thing is that this doesn't happen in any other application, so I don't think it is related to my router. Also, the system pretends that it is still connected even once the browser can't connect to any page any more. However, sometimes the other apps can no longer connect to the internet either and the internet connection test no longer works. In all cases, though, it always appears to be the browser that's causing this.
In order for things to work again, it is sometimes enough to restart the browser. Other times, I have to manually disconnect and reconnect to my router.
It seems to me that the browser drops the wifi connection once no data has been transferred for a few minutes. Obviously, this is stupid since sometimes I actually want to read what's written on a site. The next curious thing is that this does not seem to be a widespread problem - probably because no one uses the browser. :\
I've played around with the Vita's power saving settings but nothing really seems to help.
Any suggestions anyone?
