Wireless Hotspot Hack issue... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Simple question. Is it possible for a network to block the hacked hot spot? I have fast data (though roaming on Verizon), but as of this morning, when using my computer, it will start to load the page, then just stop. I tried restoring both phone, and computer, nothing changes. I have also tried other devices, same thing. This is WHILE browsing the web from the hone while trying to load a page on the computer. Phone is fast, computer won't complete a page, or download. Anyone?

Google sites, however seem to come through fine.....

And now, today, its back to normal... Very weird...

Error browsing the internet with GPRS

I recently bought a new HTC s620(EXCA 100) phone with Windows Mobile 5.0. I have subscribed for internet thru a local GPRS carrier, everything works fine except my internet access. Initially everytime i access a web site (using IE) it works for about 4 mins max then gives a time out. It has worsened with time now i only browse for 30 secs and it times out.
I have tried:
An alternative browser (Skyfire) and this as well times out from time to time, so i have eliminated that the browser has the fault. My common sites are m.facebook.com and mobile.yahoo.com, which are secure site, but i even get the issue with non-secure sites.
A hard reset on the phone which has proved futile in rectifying the problem.
Reconfiguring the internet settings with my GPRS provider
I have also tried my sim card in another phone, this sim card worked to browse online with no issues. Then after hooked my phone onto my PC at work and browsed via the company’s LAN, I had no problem there either.
I can only conclude that my phone has the problem.
The errors I constantly get are:
- Alert..The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later.
- Error.. Cannot connect. Verify you have network coverage and try again.
Thanx in advance… awaiting ur assistance.

You can try to update your rom to a more recent version.
Having the same problem here...
My Dash just started having the dame problem recently. And it's driving me bananas! I have tried everything EXCEPT flashing the Rom. I"m trying to not have to flash the Rom because it's always a major pain in the ass to do it...i always get the 3% error and get stuck in the loop of all the fixes, which without fail, DON'T work.
Anyway, does anyone have a work around for this that doesn't require flashing the Rom?
I had the same problem too with my Dash. What I did was go to my service provider's website and copy the settings for my phone. By default, using the Connection Setup of the Dash would configure the GPRS as it were inserted a postpaid SIM. Since I am on a prepaid service SIM, I had to manually change some of the access points (example: from www to http) as instructed by my provider's website. After that I had no problems connecting through either Internet Explorer or Opera Mini 5.

You shouldn't have any problem with flashing if you follow correctly the instructions error 270/3% while flashing

Problem with Wifi hot spot

HI all.
At my work place we have open wifi hotspot. Only thing i need to do to use it is to register on it when connecting for the 1st time, when doing it on laptop it simply pops website, where i need to enter email adress and my age, is one time operation (it records MAC adress i guess). I cant get it done with my Desire, i can see network, but it wont let me open any website, tried different browsers but no luck.
Any clues?
Thanks
Most sites with free access require you to leave the registration page open, then open a second window to browse. So open new window from menu and try that?
I cant even load 1st page, and yes tried new window, changed user agent too. No luck. Bit annoying as im working on the kitchen and could have spotify running all day long, with my 500mb worth data plan that aint an option. I went through quite few different roms alredy, started on stock desire one, now im on latest OpenDesire. My mates Nokia works just fine, web browsing, radio, youtube and so on.
Thanks

[Q] HELP - Can't log into protected Wi-Fi – Galaxy S3 stock ROM

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted with the stock ROM running (Deodexed_T999UVDLH3.zip). Everything on the phone is running fine, and I have no problems accessing the Internet on either Wi-Fi on my home or public networks or over 4G.
I am having one odd issue, though. In my office, we have a Guest Wi-Fi Network that I have typically connected to. I get 4G in my office, but the Wi-Fi saves on my data plan. Logging into the guest network requires opening the typical splash page and clicking on the button to accept the general terms. Now that I have routed the phone, I cannot log into this guest network.
When I try to log into the wireless connection, I can open the browser, and the splash page comes up, but when I click on the accept button, the phone vibrates once, sits for about five seconds, then vibrates three times quickly and shuts the browser down. The same thing happens if I click the link to open the terms and conditions page. The Wi-Fi connection under settings shows as connected, but I cannot get any data to or from my phone. The Play store times out, and the browser will only load the splash screen for login again.
In searching this forum, I found posts that instructed clearing out all of the cache and the cookies, and I have done this. It did not resolve the issue. I did not find any other posts that seem to relate to this problem.
I am a relative newbie when it comes to rooting, and this forum has been extremely helpful. I'm hoping that someone may recognize what is going on with my issue, and can point me in the right direction to get it fixed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Play store connectivity error following root

So I rooted my tablet and everything is working fine, but soon after I'm getting errors with the Play store ("No connection" + retry button) and with signing into a Google account ("Can't establish reliable connection to server"). Otherwise, it's doing fine; social media, YouTube and browsing are all working at decent speeds and I'm posting from the tablet. Also, the wifi signal in the drop down menu appears orange, which to my understanding denotes limited access, but my PC doesn't return the same error.
I've tried deleting the cache and data of the play store, rebooting, switching aeroplane mode on and off, reconnecting after forgetting the network - nothing.
It was fine immediately after rooting with the Nexus Root Toolkit, but started playing up soon after I installed and launched App Ops X. Disabling that hasn't worked either.
I also changed the time zone up a bit earlier, but put it back to automatic.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: the indicator is still orange, but I managed to get the Play store and Google services up and running by adding another account.client.Google.com server to the host file in /etc, although downloads are painfully slower. Can anyone explain why this worked and it didn't before, because I already had one there with a different IP. Also, are there any faster domains for me to add? Thanks.

How to disable Data OFF when connecting to WIFI requiring log-in?

My phone is all stock and will stay this way so please do not suggest rooting or alternate ROMs, I have another phone for that to play with.
After I upgraded to Android 10, there is one thing that tremendously pissing me off, and it is when my phone automatically connects to a wifi network requiring log-in and turns mobile data off, essentially throwing me into off-line mode. How retarded this is?! Previously (before the upgrade) it would keep the data ON until I logged into the network, and if I didn't stay at a place long enough (like a cafe) I didn't care about loging in at all and just staying with my phone data.
I looked through all the settings and couldn't find this option I need. Is it there and I'm not looking in the right place, or do others have similar issue?
