Connected device does not receive internet?
In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .
I am using Chrome with no user agent switcher and no longer get errors when trying to play youtube videos

Is there a way besides keeping phone screen set to always on to make sure the tethering doesn't turn off

Why would you need to keep the screen on . Are you using the tether app posted in step 1 ?

When my phone sleeps so does the tethering app..
I do have battery defender installed but not active maybe that could be a problem. I would think if not active it wouldn't interfere maybe I am wrong

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

(Mod) Wifi only script

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.

This is awesome CS, thanks so much

Hmm... This may be a bad sign... When I saw a WiFi only script pop up for the Eris it was only a few months before development basically stopped... I hope you aren't hinting at something Condemned! Lol

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.

I think you are referring to obtaining your location through wifi. That is not gps and only works connected to 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 wasn't referring Nav apps, just the GPS functionality. I'm pretty sure that it works workout any data or wifi because I use the app Endomondo to track my jogging routes and it works fine on my disconnected Inc2.
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?
Thanks for your help

If you are rooted, go to /system/lib/modules and delete dhd.ko. Bam, WiFi is gone.
If you're not rooted, well I don't have an answer for you.

I'm on the stock ROM, rooted, but T-Mobile seems to still have a hold over tethering on the phone. How do I fix this?

Answers are there, for your setup though, probably a UA adjustment would be in order

They can always see if you are teathering. You are on their network. They can sniff every packet from your phone. The question is do they want to.

Whst problem? It wont even let you turn on the feature. Use easytether. If you get redirected get the ua spoofer extension for chrome on your computer. UA = USER AGENT. Like.. mozilla on windows 7, Or netscape on mac. Or internet explorer on windows millenium edition

Running apps off a proxy?

Hello more 3 forum. I'm new to something like this. Proxy and vpns.. I'm wanting to bypass blocked sites at my school and possibly any other wifi that blocks sites. I've tried using the tor app and when I attempt to turn it on it just stick at turning on and never actually turns on. If someone could post a guide or a app that allows this I would really appreciate it!

IT for a high school here, we block the protocols for VPNs and proxies. Unless your school is incapable of using Google, it won't work.
