I can't figure this out. When I attempt to go to lite.facebook.com Opera just times out using 3G, but using WiFi it works fine. This site has always worked fine before. I don't know whats changed. Any ideas?
Stock ATT ROM
ps. it does the same thing with PIE
They started to block it on mobiles I think. Try m.facebook.com or touch.facebook.com
Those two options continue to work, nothing has chsnged with those. It just seems to be the lite version. Can anyone else with a Touch Pro 2 (At&t) try lite.facebook.com and see if it works for them via 3G?
Very interesting. I tried it on my AT&T branded Rhodium with the ROM specs in my signature, but it won't load. I even tried toggling the AT&T hidden proxy, but to no avail. The most interesting thing is that it loads immediately when I enable Opera Turbo on Opera Mobile 10 Beta Update 2 and refresh, so it seems that bugsykoosh is correct about it being blocked for one reason or another.

same result here, but i mainly use touch.facebook.com, didn't know lite.facebook.com existed till reading this thread.
I got lite.facebook.com to work on my Sprint TP2 using wifi and 3g with no problems. I used the stock version of Opera that came with the phone.
Hmmm, I wonder if AT&T is somehow blocking this. As stated above Opera mini works just fine as well. Must have something to do with the server side rendering.
As noted by a previous poster running Sprint, they can access lite.facebook.com just fine. Whatever changed, changed in the last few days.
Maybe I'll hit up an At&T store today and see if their phones are doing the same thing.
...by the way, I just now checked out my wifes iPhone and she cannot access lite.facebook.com via Safari either. Starting to look like an AT&T thing.
Wow, lite.facebook is much better!! Didn't know about it until reading this thread. I tried touch.facebook, and it isn't up to date (info can be several days old), forget about the lousy WM Facebook app. Very cool. I've been using the full facebook.com on my TP2, and it's annoying (with the bottom toolbar).
I'm on Verizon using The EnergyROM Leo 23518 Jan 25.
Yeah, I prefer it over touch.facebook as well, that's why I was using it. But of course I can't now for some unknown reason. Since you're using Verizon I would guess that's why you can access it.
Any T-mobile folks out there want to try to access this site lite.facebook.com? Let's try a few more AT&T users also just to be sure.

T-mobile (US)- comes up just fine on my TP2 in IE, I get the login page with the balloons right away.
you guys got it! http://www.mobilitydigest.com/att-is-blocking-facebook-lite/
AT&T is definitely blocking Facebook Lite. I disabled/enabled the hidden proxy and it toggled my ability to get to the site. Turning on Wifi also permits me to get to the site. Now the big question...WTF? Why are they doing it?
I can't seem to get it either, and this is a very recent change.
I tried lite.facebook.com, and received a gateway error last evening. I am on AT&T, and seemed to have a good connection when I tried (was able to bring up another site). Just tried it NOW, and it comes right up...
Dang, sucks to be ya'll.
This is why I joined T-Mobile.
Works perfectly fine, and I just heard about it also thanks to this thread
Why would they block it, it's unreasonable.
It looks like it could be back up again today for everyone...it could have been something as simple as a DNS error on one of AT&T's proxy servers.

You're right! It seems to be working again, for now. Maybe the posts here in this thread, and over at Mobility Digest (Thanks David K) caught somebody's attention.
Hope it lasts.
By the way, when I talked with a customer service person over at my local AT&T store yesterday they told me they no nothing about a block but had no explanation for why ALL of their phones in the store couldn't access lite.facebook.com.
Similar but different
So... I'm having a similar, yet different problem accessing facebook on my Fuze with Opera Mobile 10. www.facebook.com works just fine, touch.facebook.com works fine, even lite.facebook.com works fine, but m.facebook.com no longer works on my end (FYI: Oklahoma City)!!! I liked m.facebook.com better than any of them, but now it's the only facebook.com address I CANNOT access :S Is anyone else getting this result? It used to be that trying to navigate to www.facebook.com would redirect me to m.facebook.com... but now that doesn't even happen. What's even weirder, I think, was that m.facebook.com worked fine this morning. Now I'm getting a "Connection Refused: m.facebook.com:80" error!!!
UPDATE: I just tried m.facebook.com with IE on my phone... and it, kinda, works. It comes in all jumbled with mismatching text and it took forever for it to load. It shouldn't take that long to launch a MOBILE version of this site :/
I keep having to enter my login and password every time I access lite.facebook.com despite selecting to "remember me". Anyone experiencing the same issue?

ok, so while best buy was activating my phone (which took a litle shy of 3 hours) , they updated the firmware or the software (whatever it is that was updating at the time). when i had a touch pro 2 i rellied heavily on xda-wifi program to provide internet to my laptop. am i screwed now that best buy updated my phone? how can i get my phone to provide wifi to my laptop? i am in the dark, and even tho i love the evo's speed it still does not compare to a laptop and what it can do. Please help. i feel like if i am in the dark ages without wifi hotspot.
Like the hero when it first came out, wifi tethering in it's classic form doesn't work yet. HOWEVER: Go enable your sprint hotspot app...I believe I heard that haven't locked it down yet so even though you're not paying for the service, it should work in a pinch.
I seen i lot of this going on at best buy while i was waiting in line. They didnt get to mine though.
hmm ill try it, im guessing using the sprint hotspot "free" until they fix it will be uncapped huh?
but now that they updated me, am i going to be able to root? i saw a few post that people were able to get wifitethering after root but it was kinda of tricky.
i, for one dont mind the sprint tv, navigation and other sprint stuff. i actually enjoy using them (i mean im paying for em right?). but i would like a program like xda-wifi (the one i had on my tp2) where all i had to do was run the cab and it installed the program.
is there anything out there now where i can use the wifitethering abilities of the phone while keeping my rom "LIKE" stock with all programs that came out the box?

when i go to sprint hotspot and check the sprint mobile hotspot it gives me "error code 67. Registration failure. your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again"
The (temporary) free hotspot only works on 4G.
ah, that would make sense...seeing as how im in boston and 4g not getting here till 4th quarter 2010...this is insane...what do i do now in order to provide my laptop with internet from my phone? if someone could help me with the root or something. but my phone is updated, can i even do it now?

I don't live in a 4G area. Last night I was able to tether my HERO, my iTouch (I know), my wife's PRE, and my laptop. But today, I get the "error code 67". Darn it!
You can root ur phone after the OTA if you go to http://unrevoked.com/m from your phone browser and download the .apk, then run it... seemed to work pretty good for me at least it appears I'm rooted now (I couldn't get wifi tether to work tho)
On a side note...anyone else use this method or know if this is safe and/or from a trusted source? I usually stick to XDA for mod stuff, I just happened to run across this, this morning someone on Twitter posted it
EDIT: I see the other thread, nvm

the only reason i would root is to get access to get access to wifi tether, otherwise i have no reason to root (im not into removing apps and stuff).
what other threat did you see that had to do with my issue?
the updates started the moment she activated my phone. saw the word 'firmware' and yelled "NO!", reached over her shoulder and hit cancel.
Hope so because my friend was testing my phone and when he gave it back it was doing the update. He told me there was an update available, but he made it seem like it was an update in the market place! Now qik force closes overtime I open it.

Can't see anything else. I have problems with almost every site, I see this text above...
I tested few browsers, always the same.
I even change network from T-Mobile to Orange. Same stuff ;/
I checked APN - they are perfectly good.
Using Wi-Fi there is no problem, everything works just fine.
Using another mobile - works fine.
So there is a problem with my Desire HD.
I have not rooted it! Few months ago, I installed some stuff for proxy, but I uninstalled it quickly.
Best regards. Thanks
refresh, still anything
I`m wondering, if I would erase everything, it will resolved my problem?
Similar thing in UK a while back with Orange.
Only happens on certain models, and was fixed a couple of days later.
It might be worth a full reset, if its the proxy stuff still causing problems.

Just got it yesterday... it sucks. I'm hoping someone figured it out.
I searched and found something about T-Mobile just looking at uag string or something like that and assume its tethering because of that.
I think martinokaj (or close to that) mentioned it and for him it just left couple weeks later. He tried contacted T-Mobile but it didn't help at all.

Stock browser?
Sigh... they're still doing this.
Basically, T-Mobile rudimentarily checks to see if people are tethering by filtering user agents. They assume that if you're on the phone you'll always have a phone UAstring, and if you're on the desktop you'll always have a desktop UAstring.
Obviously this isn't true... this is the stock ICS browser and you can effectively change your UAstring to get desktop sites. Many other browsers in the market do it too.
Basically you can try to call and ***** them out. I dealt with this mid last year on my G2 because they started spamming me with this on the stock browser and my computer. I can change my UAstring manually on the computer (with a spoofer on Firefox) but its not so easy to change the UAstring and still get desktop pages on the phone.
Long story short of me talking to them and going through many levels/days of support, they claimed to not understand the problem/not be aware of this issue. Even with sending them screenshots of the problem on my phone. Eventually I just dealt with it and a few weeks later it just stopped.
I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this honestly. I suggest you either just wait it out and let it stop, or call in and get several levels up in support.
If you want, you can dig up a thread in the G2/DZ forum where another user and I got to the bottom of how they're doing this. But the basic thing is they think you're tethering for having a desktop UAstring.

Have u tried using a different browser? Not sure if this would help cause it sounds like a T-Mobile thing. I use dolphin which has an add on to show desktop sites. Just a suggestion. Glad I have Verizon as I've never had this issue.

They're filtering all traffic identified as a desktop UAstring. Doesn't matter the browser.
Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.

I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.

Can't be much wrong because My Note 4 FoxFi Hot Spot will share internet with one of my Note 2.
My Note 2 is doing something that my Windows computers is not doing.
It's the SIM card. I put the SIM card in my old Note 2 and now Foxfi wont work right on it.

Has anybody gotten foxfi to work without having to have a secure lockscreen?
Haven't tried computer but it works with other phones and my iPad mini. Its most likely a firewall or security setting. From what I have read foxfi is less secure since its last update.

DHCP is not enabled for "Wireless Network Connection" .
Windows offered to FIX it , then failed to Fix
I got Verizon to reactivate the phone with different SIM card but I still have the same problem.
It may be a problem with the IPv6 address, just a guess.

On Verizon FoxFi is free and the regular hotspot is an additional $30 a month.
Problem solved !!!!!
The problem was last week I set up everything on my home network with static IP's . I set it up like that so I would know the IP address of everything on my network.
The solution... I returned TCP/IPv4 back to automatic and FoxFi started working again.
Another thing that made it hard to repair was I'm using Windows 10 Technical Preview and they keep making changes to Windows in real time. For a while I couldn't open the Wi-Fi propertys window on my main computer.

1. Goto google.com/android/devicemanager and login
2. Next click on the lock button for your device.
3. Next enter a new pass and save.
4. Now go to your phone and use the new pass to unlock the phone.
5. Finally, you should now be able to go to your lock screen settings and pick whichever lock option you need.
Hope this helps

If you are using one of the older "unlimited" plans, or even the limited plans before the "more everything" plan, you have to pay an extra $30 to get the system hotspot working. It is one of the many asinine things Verizon does to steal your money. Kind of like charging $3/month for visual voicemail.
I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan an Foxfi work fine on my retail GN4. The only neusence is having to set a pin on the lock screen. I clear credentials after each use to turn off the lock screen.

How is it free now? I'm on the grandfathered unlimited plan, does it apply to me? When I first opened the voicemail app, it said that I would get free visual voicemail for 10 days ( if i remember how many days correctly), did anyone else see that or am I imagining things?
I swear I saw a ten day free limit.
Mine works fine. I didnt know anout the lock screen gig though. That worked to. Thank god. Ive been trying to get rid of my lock screen pass for a while. Just never really looked it up though.

Visual Voicemail has two teirs now. Basic is Free. Premium is $3. The phone will automatically put you on the free trial for premium. As soon as it did that, I logged into MyVerizon, and just changed it to basic for free.
I think the difference is that premium will change your voicemail into text; basic will not write it to text, but you can listen to the recording. Also i think premium has a bigger mailbox.
