Has anyone heard of Tmobile blocking directmirror for whatever reason, or could it just be a routing issue. For the last several days, i have been unable to load it on the network, no matter where i am at, but works fine on my wifi (comcast). Any ideas?

Directmirror.com. does not work on tmobile network right now, at least by me. I just was curious to know if it was something on my end.

It could be related to the same thing that they use to block you from tethering without a plan. They sniff your packet data and block anything with a desktop user agent. I heard of another user trying to download songs from what was likely a torrent site, and he was blocked.
I would try setting up a proxy, and that should mask your ip so that T-mo can't block you.
I dont know. Just called tmobile talk to tech, says there is no blocks on my account. Ive tried different browsers, switching user agents, wiping all net stuff like cache, cookies, etc. No luck.
Has been like this for a week or so, ive done several complete wipes/flashes since as well

Is there any way to tether my data internet to a Xbox like I could do with a computer ?
Just looking for an easier way instead of using my computer as a modem an connecting it that way but that involves changing the proxy and server information on your computer and Xbox. I have manage to do it but don't really want to go through all of that sooooo. I was hoping somebody had a better way.
Here is a couple of videos.

If you are rooted just use wifi tether from the market. You could have looked here. FYI careful posting repeated threads. Try to search first. Some users will be on your ass. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802491

That is due to your data signal. Try to put the phone where you get a strong 4g signal and you will do just fine.

Okay so after some more testing I could not get to work for more than a 20 min window. The best way in my opinion is to bridge the connection from a computer. That way I could watch a full length movie and play hours of need for speed. I just hate adjusting all the server and proxy settings that's all.

Also, check your security settings. Some devices will not see a wireless network with security settings it can't support.
Rarely, because it's an international thing, channel settings can also prevent discovery. Just something to think about. Not that it should be an issue but may want to double check.

Thanks -- I mean I can get the network going, just can't discover it on the phone. No dice even when I set it security to open. Is this just not destined to happen?

Android has issues with ad hoc sometimes. Certain devices like the Kindle fire can only use infrastructure based wifi due to the chipset used and/or the drivers included. Infrastructure mode is a more robust and stable network vs ad hoc too. I get about an extra 20' in range on infrastructure vs ad hoc. On infrastructure I can cover my entire 3600 sqft house with 1 access point getting 2-3 bars at the farthest end of the house, with ad hoc the back side of my house gets very weak or no signal at all. If your router/hotspot is capable I'd recommend settinf it up in infrastructure mode with the same ssid and security key (if you use one) and go from there

Is it a work pc? If so, they may have a blocker of sorts. I worked at EA Games and could never connect to any of the test laptops via ad hoc. Even using third party. But, I could come home and connect with no problem.

You said your phone's reception sucks at work. I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm wrong. Are you trying to get better data connection or phone connection? If phone, piggybacking off a router or PC won't help you to make calls if you can't now, unless you're using some form of voip on the phone. The SMS and phone voice run on the same line (I think). If you put the phone into airplane mode, but turned on wifi, you wouldn't receive calls or text. You'd only be able to do data. You have to be on a sprint tower to use the phone part.
Also, if you want your phone to get on adhoc and you can't now, you need a modified wpa_supplicant file for this phone. I don't know how to mod the file but a simple file swap and reboot would do it. At least that's how I did it with my original sprint galaxy 7" tab.

Reception is fine, it's just that data speeds at work are painfully slow. If I have a lot of apps to update on my phone, would be nice to just piggy back into the work network and do it that way.
My research has indicated that I'll need a modified wpa_supplicant, like you said, and I've tried some that are floating out there but they all seem to bork my wifi and I haven't been able to locate one specifically for the E4GT. Also, I have no idea how to mod it myself lol
I have a solavei SIM, and have for quite some time, never had any issues. All of a sudden I can't send mms, I've tried all the apn's and even factory reset, all the way up to odin the phone all the way back. I still can't get mms to work. Someone please help. The phone is tmobile s3, locked, never had any issues, not rooted.

If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?

Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

the wifi tether for root users is not working with the liquid smooth rom just released, but the optimus DE rom works just fine as well as stock. tried reconfiguring it all different ways and mimicking the optimus rom settings I had that worked just fine. not sure why it works fine for one and not for another. any ideas?
just so everyone knows, I'm not a total noob at this. I've had a Samsung nexus S 4g forever, had it rooted for almost 2 years. great phone, moved up to the optimus for its hardware capabilities, but have had some issues with configurations on certain apps. great phone so far, the lg firmware makes it a little difficult to play around with. I've tried wiping davlik, pulling data from my other rom and everything. I went from a 4.1.2 rom to a 4.3.1 rom. i'm wondering if the 4.3 doesn't support the wifi tether? I use the crap out of it and haven't ever been billed for it. its awful handy, and sucks not to have it. tried the trevE mod version too, with the exact settings off my other rom it always starts with errors. if I turn it to NetD it works properly but doesn't show up when I scan to find it. not sure whats going on here?

I think most CM/ASOP ROMs have tethering built in. That's why the app doesn't work.

Stock ROMs you have to pay for. Or root and the app.
CM/AOSP depending which one, have a free hotspot built in. I think it's usually in settings>phone or roaming. Somewhere around there on the settings.

I have a t999l, rooted running the root66 method stock Rom. I have Wi-Fi tether router ado working great. However when I connect to Xbox live, it connects and works great, but on the Xbox it has the yellow dot in the middle of the network test and says it's connected but may not function fully. My first question is to get rid of that.
My second question, I'm trying to download maps on black ops 2, it gives me a error saying the server might be having temporary issues or it could be my internet connection.
I can play live great, no lagging, I can play Hulu, Netflix etc great. But those are my only issues.

Your Tether App should have the settings. If it doesn't then find one that does. Some apps do allow specific port collection to be opened. Be careful what you wish for.
