Why does my phone think it's being tethered? My Arc S is rooted on .42 Gingerbread firmware, stock UK ROM, deleted a few files/apps, and those are about the only changes I've made.
But recently when I use the 3G on my phone (not wireless, but data) after a while it diverts to my service carrier's page about tethering and how it is not allowed on my plan (which is true).
I phoned up my carrier thinking it must be a problem on their end, the guy told me it to try my simcard in another phone and see if the same thing happens- It didn't, I was able to browse with no problems at all. Put the sim back into my Arc S, and after about 30 seconds of browsing I get diverted again. He told me it may be a problem with my phone and I should factory reset.
Obviously I don't want to do that as I will lose root plus ROM plus all my customisation (Supercharger, Go Launcher etc) so what could be causing the problem? I've been using it fine for a long time and then this happens....

My parents need to need to lock up my phone so I have no Internet access, not even wifi. Is there an app that anyone can develop or if there is one already that cannot have data cleared or force stopped? Please tell me as soon as possible.
Let me explin it better again sorry to bump this.. I need somthing that can lock wifi and i have no root but like lock it so no internet access at all and need a pasword to lock it.. But maybe also a phone watcher that monitors? But not text monitor.

No it doesn't. Wifi is internal on the Android System. And I have no root and I won't root it because of warranty. :/ So that means I can't use a rom with a wifi bug !! :/
Yeah app locker I saw but my dad said no wifi :/
What don't they just put a new password on the WiFi and disable your internet?
Yea too bad you can't root. But the only warranty it voids is HTC's, so it doesn't really matter since if something happens, it goes through your insurance usually.
Rooting= get stock Rom, remove all WiFi modules and files from kernel and Rom, problem solved.

Maybe I am thinking to technical. But you should be able to set your home modem with a MAC filter so that you are blocked on WiFi. I would suggest an ip filter but that normally comes with ups and downs as your phone will look for a new ip later. If you can get your folks to just set up a MAC filter then they can shut down the internet at certain times when you are not allowed to have it and it will function when you are allowed. I do this with my son, all his devices even his xbox get no internet access after 9:30. Every new device he brings home I lock it down. But thats just me.

Just get the app locker and have your parents set their own password, and turn off WiFi and mobile data. Only bad thing is is that you'll be locked out of the entire settings menu. Also, I understand how you feel, I'm 14 years old. Lol. Good luck!

One would assume if he can't have wifi at home then he probably can't have it anywhere else? So locking the Mac would only work at home, kinda defeats the purpose?

I've seen a lot of people asking about something like this lately, so I thought I'd dig up its grave and share it here to. ... Some of you may remember this from the Eris and OG Inc forums as well.
This is a very simple script that utilizes the radiooptions command to disable the radio but still allow use of WiFi. I wanted to make it to be run in init.d on startup but haven't successfully got it working that way yet so for now it can be run with script manager. This script can be run as follows:
1. Download the script and place it somewhere on your SD Card. (Maybe make a folder named Scripts to keep things organized)
2. Download Script Manager from the market.
3. Open Script Manager and navigate to where you saved the script then select the script.
4. Check the options for run as root and if you always use wifi only because you don't have service on your device check off Run at boot as well.
5. When prompted by superuser allow superuser permissions.
I have tested this script on my Incredible and my Eris as well and should be universal to run on any android device.
Download Here
If you are using this on an inactive device and don't want the activation screen coming up after reboot and new ROM flash follow these simple steps.
*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk (Sense or stock based) in it for this procedure to work.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".

I honestly never tried gps with it on mine since I rarely even use it on my phone. I know it won't for navigation unless its tethered to your phone since nav requires a data connection. For location only, I would lean towards saying no, but I'd have to try it first to say for certain which I can't do atm since I don't have one of my inactive phones with me right now.

GPS does not require an Internet connection. There are apps available that store the map data locally on the device. I use one. The downside of offline GPS is you don't get live traffic, you have to manually update the maps, and satellite lock is much slower when it doesn't have the assistance of WiFi or cell tower triangulation.
On topic, I use Tasker to do this (and start GrooVe IP) automatically whenever I connect to a WiFi network.

Yes and no. You can only use the GPS when you're in range of a WiFi network. GPS requires a mobile connection to function, so it will only work in WiFi.

you are right when it comes to gmaps, but i think i have seen other navigators that can store info on the phone, like in a car, so you coukd download the map data once, then use nav anywhere without internet connection. i can't for the life of me remember the app name though

I'd love to get the extra battery savings from disabling the cell radio, but don't want Bork the GPS.
Also, if (god forbid) I break my newer phone, would I be able to Re enable the service to the food olé Inc2?

Hi,
My market enabler stopped working, i dont know if anybody have similar issues.
It was working perfectly fine before just 2-3 weeks ago.
I'm not sure if it's related but after upgrade of superuser and busybox it doesnt seem to work anymore.
Anyone have same issue or fix for this?
It doesnt work anymore for me ! I use Market Access
Doesnt work for me either since yesterday...
market access apk, market unlocker apk as well as enabler apk... none works
I'm having the same problem since yesterday. Does anyone know why?
For me also no longer work following application, but I solved the problem by simply activating the tunnel bear.apk and then after clearing cache off Google play I successfully launched Google play with all purchased and paid applications...
Any fix for this???

The workaround is to use VPN or proxy service and spoof the connection that way.
I've been using Hideman which gives you the option to choose from a number of countries you're faking your connection from. in the free version you're limited to 5 hours a week, but every week you get another 5 hours.

These two apps worked perfectly fine before. Then, we had technician come over and replace our router due to some problems it was having. Ever since then, I have been unable to use these two apps over WiFi, but they work when I'm outside using data. I would point a finger directly at the internet being a problem, but my aunt is able to use both of these apps on her Rezound without a problem whereas my Nexus 7 and GS4 are unable to use them. The apps open but I am unable to refresh, view anything in my news feed, etc. I tried reinstalling both of the apps and they still didnt work. I flashed different roms and they still dont work. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Settings - Wi-Fi - tap & hold on your network - Modify network config - Check under 'IP settings'. It's probably set to DHCP. Set it to static, hit save, then go back in and change it back to DHCP.
I'd try the same steps above except instead of selecting Modify network config, click forget. Hit the scan button and rejoin your network.

Hmm, try giving yourself a static IP if you're using DHCP currently:
Settings
Wi-Fi
tap & hold on your network
Modify network config
Check Show advanced options
scroll to the bottom and note the value for ip address
change IP settings to Static
Everything should be filled out for you already. Change the last number in your IP address to a random number between 2-254, higher the safer.
If it doesn't help, change it back to DHCP.
