Bypass Wifi tether blocking - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Now days many cellular operator are blocking the wifif hotspot tethering.
This is problematic since not every tablet has 3G and mostly when there is no Wifi you use your cellular as router.
Is there any application who bypass the blckage ?
Cheers

You mean to say there is no option for Wi-Fi teathering on your phone. And if you have it I think cellular operator don't control it as its feature of the phone

Hi
I mean that on handset it works but the cellular provider is blocking/reducing internet speed by detecting wifi tethering ( probably due to specific fingerprinting or browser signature)

[Q] Can I use HSDPA and wifi at the same time?

Hello, I was curious if I can use 3G and wifi at the same time. When I turn on wifi it switches 3g off if a network is present. Can I have them both working at the same time
Hi, in my opinion this will not work. How should the data be separated? As far as I know you or the sw has to decide which packets have to be send over which connection. What do you need this for?

Not as far as I know. It's senseless anyway
I am with 3 uk and they have skype but it only works over mobile network, when I use wifi it stops. That's why I need it, no other reasons

portable wifi hostspot

Having problems with my turning my phone into wifi hotspot (have uk orange htc desire hd chocolate). Turn on the portable wifi hostspot ok, my laptop and my archos 70i tab can both find and connect to it ok, BUT it dont work - on the laptop it just says local connection only - on the archos just wont connect to internet. most frustrating. also some problems with the data connection - phone shows the h or g icon and the arrows, but not connection when try browser etc usually works after a restart, but who wants to have to restart the phone every time you wanna use the data connection?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Same hotspot problem
I ran into the same problem yesterday. I was testing if the wifi hotspot functionality worked, to use my phone for wifi tethering. As soon as I turn on the function, my data connection (3G) is disabled.
Doe anybody know how to keep the data connection after activating the wifi hotspot function?
Thanx in advance!

Install Droidwall and block all 3G access permanently.

[Q] Can my mobile operator block the tethering option?

Hi Guys, I am using an XPERIA ARC 3G on Tigo Colombia.
I have an unlimited data plan and it works smooth, but the tethering option is not working. I have tried on several laptops and the connection does not provide internet access to any of them.
Can the network operator find out I am tethering and block the network access?
My sister owns an Iphone on the same operator and tethering was even block from the options but she called the support help desk and they enabled that option; unfortunatly the same help desk seems to be unwilling to help me because I own an android phone.
Thanks for your suggestions.
i'd like to know as well. I'm on Fido in Canada, and my tethering was working on 2.1 with Barnacle on my SE Xperia X10, but now on my Arc, the 2.3 default wifi tethering isn't working. In fact, it disrupts and blocks my data connection when i try to tether, and is not even broadcasting a wifi signal for other devices to see.
I also downloaded Barnacle Wifi Tether and tried to tether that way, but that's not working either.
I was under the impression that as long as you have a data plan, a network operator can't block tethering because it can't differentiate what the data is being used for...

[Q] WiFi Tether enable or working app?

Hey all,
Does anyone have a wifi tethering app suggestion? or specific settings to set on a particular app to get wifi tethering working?
I'm rooted using MotoChopper. I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users and I can get the app to start just fine but my the network doesn't appear to be broadcasting as I can't see it on any other devices.
I can't use the built in hotspot feature because it's not enabled on my plan.
I understand it's early in the development stages for the SGS4 but just seeing if anyone has a workaround for the time being.
Thanks,

Some strings need to be edited in the framework to change where the traffic get directed to so T-Mobile doesn't see you are tethering. Then you will be able to use the native app/toggle.

Do you need "wifi" tethering?
If not, PDAnet for me via bluetooth and usb.

does it provide free tethering? or are you on a tethering data plan?
Is it possible to redirect all tethered traffic through a VPN and therefore circumvent t-mobiles tether detection?
E.g. set up an SSH tunnel with port forwarding on the phone and then set your phone as a proxy server on your PC?
Or, if t-mobile only uses user-agent detection, can you simply use a VPN directly from your PC? As all traffic is then encrypted, t-mobile should no longer be able to identify its origin.
im on my unlimited plan, and the free version is limited to a small bandwidth limit. 8 bucks for the full version and no additional fees.
