hi,
i have seen other threads on here but none have answers. I dont have internet as i have just moved and cant afford it.. i have the all you can eat data addon, ive used barnacle, pdanet, android wireless tethers, and a few others but none of them work. I downloaded user agent app for firefox and set it to use iphone 4 or other android agent.. if I use user agent pdanet works for abit (couple of pages) and stops....
is there a way or a rom that could enable me to use tethering?? ive used cm7 but that too blocks after a bit....ive read somewhere there is a file that carriers use to detect tethering and if one either freezes or deletes it they can tether all they want...but cant remeber where i saw that page..
ive tried to freeze the wifi hotspot using titanium back up, but when i actually select the wifi hotspot app, the freezing thing starts but it continues to freeze/process even after 50-mintues... I cant afford internet, please can someone help me??
Thanks
Mayur
You can bypass it using a User Agent Switcher.

Hey everybody, Good Evening,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful night. For those of you who took the time to read this post, I have a question about "Third Party Apps". How exactly do they work?
For instance, I have a TMobile Dash/HTC S620, I DO NOT have an internet plan.
Now let's say I decided to download and install a "weather app".
How exactly does the third party app work?
Does it need a connection to the internet for a third party app to work? So would it work on my phone?
If it does need an internet connection, would it "force" a connection to the internet to make it work? Therefore leading to an unwanted internet usage fee?
Thanks.
For some apps you will need internet access, specially for weather apps (have to update somehow) If you use T-mo, look around the forum for the t-zones ($5.99 internet plan) hack
Thanks driguez!
agreed if you're cheap like i am just use the 5.99 tzones hack. very simple to set up and works like a charm for every internet service that i use on my phone.
i got a question for you guys dun have the tzone plan just yet but am looking to get it if it will be the same to me than the 19.95 plan. can i use internet explorer with it? also email like my gmail and hotmail? and what limitations are there with it...ex. with internet explorer...only specific sites i can access?
thank you for your help.
Typically anything that can use a proxy will work.
But I would recommend using Opera Mini instead of Internet Explorer because Opera Mini is much nicer and faster then IE...
So i've installed the said addon, including files and i can connect to "android tether" and phone vibrates etc... However it says local access only on the pc, i can't get internet. Does anyone have any tips on what i may be doing wrong? Should i not update to the newest files if i am going to run tether or is it all compatible now? I've tried both ways with no luck, i must be doing something wrong...

I only now make a thread because i've asked a bunch and no answers in the mega thread
You might not be getting any answers because this is the TP1 sub-fora. There's a whole section for the TP2 dude.
Not sure what the status of tethering on the TP2 is, but I recommend you go over there!!!!
I actually got it working, with an aosp version. man seems faster than regular windows. now if only it didn't break all internet when i try to reset my data ;p
Posted this in another forum, but you all are the experts. Impossible for me to access my work WiFi because of redirects (splash screen to accept use parameters).
Wondering if a custom ROM fixes it or if there is another solution.
Having an issue connecting to WiFi with Evo updated via official release of 2.2. I couldn't access it via 2.1 either. It's an odd network designation.
However, the iPhone can connect once I okay the error message.
Is there a work around that you may know about? Web search basically told me that the protocol is old and useless and that it should be changed. That is not possible.
Network designation is 1.1.1.1. I was unable to add links clarifying this because I am a new user.
Well Android can not connect to 1.1.1.1 addresses / networks / redirects. However the iPhone can. Is it inherent to the Android, or is there an app or tweak to get it to work.
This message ends by saying it will be fixed with Froyo.
Still can't post links to show what I mean.
Steamliver I just did a Google search for "Android 1.1.1.1" and this was the top result: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1597
I'm guessing this is the problem you are describing. Sounds frustrating and it has been going on for a long time. The newest post at the time I'm writing this recommends installing the Fennec browser (Firefox for Android, basically) and that worked for the poster.
If you have a laptop you could bring to work and tether via USB, I wonder if that would work? Just a temporary work around to use the phone to establish the wifi connection, then view the browser redirect on the laptop, accept, and then maybe you would be good to go?
Also, the simplest thing might be to call the IT department and ask them for help. Given Android's growing market share, one of them probably already have an Android phone and a fix for this problem. Good luck.
I have tried firefox and that did not solve the problem, does anyone have another ideas how to solve this.
It seems that 1.1.1.1 is locked in the android.

Ok, I've looked through the web, and can't seem to find anything to solve my problem. I've got CyanogenMod 7 on my Wildfire, and decided to reverse tether it via USB cos I'm 15 and don't really have the money for a data plan (yes, even Three's All-In-One 15). I got the app for it off the market, and after following the guide for it, it worked. Once. After that, it's only very rarely managed to get past the "USB tethered" or the "Desired IP part. I've tried loads of stuff that, in the end, hasn't worked. Would be happy if all you guys could help
PS: Yes, I do have the other reverse-tethering usb-tunnel thing as well. However, a lot of apps think they have no connection when it's used. Which is why I want to use this app.
Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked but I couldn't find it on any particular thread. About 10 days ago I started getting T-Mobile's upsell for tethering that I'd (thanks to the awesome developers) been able to successfully evade for over a year. Is there any fix for this? I'm (now) running Lollipop but it happened before upgrading so it seems unrelated. Thanks in advance!

There's only one solution working for me right now, but you'll have to buy this app: Wifi Tether Router
Go into /system and make a copy of your build.prop
Open your build.prop with a text editor and add this line all the way at the bottom:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save the file and reboot your device
Open the wifi tether router app and go to "configure wifi router." At the bottom of the page, there's a button to visit the site for device config settings. Scroll down that page to find settings for Note 3.
Once you're all set up, you should be good to go. Only thing you have to do is use a UserAgent switching app on your browser to make it think you're on a mobile device. I'm using User-Agent Switcher (with the blue globe icon) for Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply, but with a user-agent switcher, everything works even now. I was hoping to avoid changing my headers because certain sites won't be served to a "mobile" device. Luckily, my internet tv apparently doesn't send any headers because I can still tether unlimited...ly with that, but it's definitely frustrating getting mobile versions of sites on my laptop. I have observed a somewhat strange behavior that I wonder if we can exploit. It's somewhat finicky, but I've noticed that if I Google the name of a site I want to access (still via the address bar, though), the search results come up without TMO nagging me about a hotspot and oftentimes the link from the search results takes me to the site. I can't make sense of it, but as an example, if you try www.yahoo.com, you'll get the hotspot page, but if you google "yahoo" and click the first result, you get taken to the site. *shrug* I'm not smart enough to figure it out, but perhaps this observation will help someone else solve the problem

Glad you got it working! Yeah, idk about the Google Search trick, but I'll try it out sometime.
