Tethering?

Why does my phone think it's being tethered? My Arc S is rooted on .42 Gingerbread firmware, stock UK ROM, deleted a few files/apps, and those are about the only changes I've made.
But recently when I use the 3G on my phone (not wireless, but data) after a while it diverts to my service carrier's page about tethering and how it is not allowed on my plan (which is true).
I phoned up my carrier thinking it must be a problem on their end, the guy told me it to try my simcard in another phone and see if the same thing happens- It didn't, I was able to browse with no problems at all. Put the sim back into my Arc S, and after about 30 seconds of browsing I get diverted again. He told me it may be a problem with my phone and I should factory reset.
Obviously I don't want to do that as I will lose root plus ROM plus all my customisation (Supercharger, Go Launcher etc) so what could be causing the problem? I've been using it fine for a long time and then this happens....

If it was a problem with the firmware wouldnt the problem have appeared straight away, rather than after a few weeks?

If getting a GPS fix isn't a problem, the link provided by ac3theone won't help. That's for people who are getting very slow fixes or no fix at all.

I believe that I've seen kind of trick for that but only available on rooted devices bcoz need app that require root.
In your case, to be safe, just use WiFi instead. Wait till u got WiFi available in any place to check ur FB.
Cheers!!

If i rooted it i could download a firewall, i guess thats the only way, ah well.. never mind..

What about something like this. It works for me...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm&hl=en;)

(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

[Q] Market Enabler Not Working Anymore

Hi,
My market enabler stopped working, i dont know if anybody have similar issues.
It was working perfectly fine before just 2-3 weeks ago.
I'm not sure if it's related but after upgrade of superuser and busybox it doesnt seem to work anymore.
Anyone have same issue or fix for this?

It doesnt work anymore for me ! I use Market Access

Doesnt work for me either since yesterday...
market access apk, market unlocker apk as well as enabler apk... none works

I'm having the same problem since yesterday. Does anyone know why?

For me also no longer work following application, but I solved the problem by simply activating the tunnel bear.apk and then after clearing cache off Google play I successfully launched Google play with all purchased and paid applications...

Any fix for this???

The workaround is to use VPN or proxy service and spoof the connection that way.
I've been using Hideman which gives you the option to choose from a number of countries you're faking your connection from. in the free version you're limited to 5 hours a week, but every week you get another 5 hours.
