Foxfi with proxy - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

does anyone have foxfi with proxy working? I tried it last night and can't get the proxy working. I set internet explorer to use proxy 0.0.0.0 port 8000 like it says on the screen and it doesn't work. if I disable proxy, then it works but I get the tmobile signup screen for tethering.

foxfi on JB4.1 Proxy not working
I have TM Note 2 (JB4.1) not yet rooted. Having the same issue with foxfi.
Activating the proxy feature does not seem to work.
Actual when I configure Chrome proxy settings with 0.0.0.0 8000 I get a error from Chrome saying cant locate proxy.
I guess I will need to get the refund.
Easy-tether seems to work and its free
Let us know if you have any luck

yea, i don't know if I"m doing something wrong, but no way no how can I make it work, I think the tmobile signal booster is screwing things up too now as I can't even get it to do the tmobile signup thing when not using proxy at the moment although it did happen once.
a number of usb ones will work, but wifi tether is so much better and cooler too

only way I can make tethering work. foxfi even without proxy won't get internet access for me.

How to get Windows Live to connect over Wifi?

I am using vp3gs 3.61 rom with windows live messenger version 10.6.0031.2600. no matter what I do it won't connect on my WPA-PSK enabled router. I can connect fine to the internet.
Any special setup I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT
Could someone on ATT disable the phone and use WIFI only and see if you can connect to LIVE?
I am using 10.6.0031.1600(older than yours) but I am able to connect to live services using the wifi with WPA-PSK.
I am using my own cooked rom.
Search in all the forums I remember some people had the simillar issues and had some 'workarounds'
Sorry I do not really remember.
I too also had a problem with .2600, reverted to .1600 and all is good over wifi. By the way, I'm using WPA TKIP on my wifi.
Tried that one too and still get the "there was a problem signing you in to messenger" error after checking internet connectivity.
try these ideas.
1 ensure your wifi settings are to internet and not work
2 ensure you dnt have the ip address set up in exceptions (these ips are only for intranet)
3 turn off your phone entirely. soft reset your phone. check that wifi is still internet and not work.
4 turn on wifi only. check that u have normal internet access. emails and hotmail etc work ok. then open messenger and sign in.
5 if you have to, use wlm switch user command and relogin.
this should work. once u have run and got it working, you can turn your phone back on and it should continue to use wifi and not 3g

Still times out on checking internet connection.
I get email and internet fine. but no WLM.
I am using ATT. What should there be under Connections?
I have tried 2 My ISP and Media.net on My ISP it times out automatically, on Media.net it takes a while to time out.
Also did a hard reset to make sure that it wasnt anything I had installed. With the stock rom I still get the time out.
the proxy server u r using will b blocking that port.
I use telstra in australia, internet and push email works with proxy on, but wlm doesnt.
so i just turn off proxy and everything works except some of the telstra stuff which i dont want anyway.
proxy tends to give a garden firewall of their preferred content.
dunno how to deal with att, but suggest one of your connections should allow you to bypass the proxy styled firewall garden of att.
soz i dont have it to help u further, except to point u towards the proxy manager.
just to reiterate and emphasis the telstra proxy manager controls over rides and screws up 3g/next G connections AND my wifi.
only by turning this proxy manager off can i use wifi and 3g fully.
Thanks, there is a cab that disables the proxy on the att phone, so I disabled it, but that didnt help either.
Wlm 10.6.0031.2600
Hi, does anyone have the cab or installer for the latest WLM 10.6.0031.2600? Can someone post it or make it available for download? Thanks a million
Is anyone who has ATT able to use Windows Live Messenger?
Okay since WLM obviously doesnt work over wifi. How do you guys setup your outlook to get Hotmail?

Absolutely. I use it all the time. Mostly through 3G but sometimes through my home wireless network. Never had a problem.
Memnoch30, what version of WLM you using and do you have it set any special way in connections to use WIFI?
Well it seems I am not the only one having this problem, I got an interesting PM stating another person has the same problem as I do. If someone else could do me a favor, turn off the phone in comm manager, but keep wifi on. Can you still connect to Live???
Anyone? Thanks in advance
Hi
Just try to keep the Red button pressed ~3s (it will cancel the GPRS connection) then Messenger will use the wifi one (i do like that since i use pocket msn).

It doesnt work even if I turn off GPRS and leave wifi only.

o2 gprs settings help

hi all i need help setting up my gprs. i had a look on this post but i am still unable to get it working please help
ive got to the point where the gprs connects as it shows a little [G] above the phones signal strength along with a big [G] to the left but i cant view any internet pages plus my tacking software wont connect to the gprs. Any ideas? does anyone know if the authentication is PAP or CHAP?
If you're on Pay as you Go then make sure you've got the proxy settings set up correctly or you won't see a thing.
Settings>Connections>Connections>Edit My Proxy Server
Tick the boxes > Advanced
HTTP: 193.113.200.195:8080
WAP: 193.113.200.195:9201
Socks: 193.113.200.195:1080
It's a wap proxy so you won't get full mobile internet access. You'll be able to view most websites but it's by not the same deal you get on a contract (Quickgps and most other apps won't update properly). This is a workaround for PAYG as O2 would rather have you believe it doesn't work at all with the £7.50 a month bolt-on!
I got the pda to see webpages now i dont know why people were saying the password was password when its actually payandgo. I think as its not full access to gprs i dont think my messaging program is going to work.
I've tried these settings, but although I get the small G and it says connected, when I try to open a page, it comes up with an error saying the connection was lost. Do I need to sign up for the bolt on before it will work, or is there something else I need to check?

[Q] Very odd SSL issue

I'm experiencing a very odd issue with my Galaxy S3 on the Virgin Network. For some reason I can't go on any SSL enabled site no matter what browser I use and which website I go to. The most descriptive error message comes from firefox which says SSL received a record which exceeded the maximum permissible length. Oddly if I enable wifi or otherwise bypass the regular network (VPN etc.) everything works properly. SSL enabled apps like banking sites work with no issue.
I'm currently on the latest nightly of the Carbon Rom, though I've experienced it when I was on Cyanogenmod as well so I don't believe that it has anything to do with the rom itself. Any idea on what might be going on?
Ensure your APN settings are correct.

Is your time and date set to automatic?
My APN settings are correct and my time and date are set to automatic.
After doing some more testing only certain SSL sites don't work which makes the whole situation even more murky. startpage.com doesn't work, but the login of tdcanadatrust does. This is really weird.
Are you in a public WiFi network or in an area with a lot of WiFi networks?
If in public WiFi: Someone may be trying to hack you by SSL strip or redirect you.( Which can be why a VPN works)
If there are many WiFi networks in range : Download WiFi Analyzer from Google play to check WiFi channels, and switch your WiFi router to a cleaner channel if needed.
(If there are a lot of WiFi networks all on the same "channel", it can cause common data loss,lag and congestion. )
Sometimes a VPN can fix the problems with congested wifi channels, but I'm not sure.
If none of these ideas apply, clear cookies and cache.
If that still doesn't work:
Settings > Security > Clear Stored Credentials.
This will clear your SLL certificates and VPN info saved on your device. It might help with your browser.
While the SSL strip idea is a valid point that I hadn't considered initially I don't think that's the issue because I rarely connect to unknown wifi networks when traveling, and I think that all certificates would come back invalid if somoene was pulling that instead of the hit and miss situation I'm currently experiencing.
The Wifi bit is what really gets me though since the sites that don't work on the cell network work perfectly when I'm on wifi with no other changes needed other than the change in the way the phone connects. I have tried clearing the browser's cache with no luck and I'm not able to clear the stored credentials as described as the option is greyed out for me.
I thought that it might have something to do with the cerficates themselves, something about the way the browser/phone accepts certs depending on connection method but I can't see any difference between working sites and non working sites other than a difference in certifying authority (GoDaddy vs Verisign for example)
Problem Solved
I'm bumping up this thread to bring attention to the fact that I've found the solution to the problem. The issue is not with the rom itself, but the proxy that Bell/Virgin insists on its users using. Clearing the proxy and port settings for the Bell APN found under mobile device settings fixes the issue nicely. Special thanks to Dream_Team over at this thread for finding the solution.
Makes me wonder why there's an HTTP only (port 80) proxy set by default in the APN settings when it's not needed to access the network..

I also vote for Fabios WiFi Tether router, I've had an issue and he kept working through it with me without delay. I usually got a response from him within 30 minutes.
I also run Private Internet Access VPN app on the phone, any device that connects to the hotspot is automatically encrypted through the VPN so Tmo can't tell what kind of traffic it is. I've used 30 gigs a month this way for months without an issue.

Thanks for the info!
1. Is Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN app free?
I read somewhere about a $35 annual fee, but perhaps that is not needed?
2. So by encrypting the traffic, you're saying T-Mobile does not know whether the traffic is standard data usage (e.g. web browsing on the Note 3 itself) or whether the traffic (data being used) is from running a hotspot on the Note 3 and connecting to it from an external device (laptop, table etc.)?
Just interested in understanding the technology and alternatives better (I have not needed wifi tethering on my Note 3 so far, not even the included 2.5 GB but I enjoy understanding it all either way).
I have 2 methods that I use on my phone.
FIRST THING IS TO CREATE THE EXACT SAME TMOBILE APN EXCEPT CHANGE IT FROM IP6 TO IP4.
TO BE EXACT I JUST CREATE A 2ND APN AND IN THE WAP FIELD I USE "fast.t-mobile.com" I LEAVE ALL OTHER FIRLD BLANK.
When I want to send a MMS I just activate the TMobile Stock APN. When I tether I activate my custom APN.
Now the 1st method I use is using the STOCK TETHERING option.
Activate the Stock APN and Turn On Stock Tethering. "This is IF you have the 2.5GB tethering on your account.After the tethering is activated, on the computer you have to use a custom UA string on your web browser. For me I use "Google Chrome" and I installed the plugin "Ultimate User Agent Switcher" and I use the "Kindle" option. This will allow for full web access and TMobile will think your using a Kindle tablet.
Torrents also work since you have the ip4 APN activated.
My 2nd method is using USB Tethering to my PC with PDANet. Install PDANet on your phone and on the PC. And also have the custom APN activated in network settings. In PDANet Settings, go to HIDE TETHER USAGE VERSION 2. This will allow for FULL web use without the need for changing UA Strings.
With this method, I am also able to share the connection to my LAN port which is hooked to my NetGear Router so i can then ((RESHARE)) the connection again to my XBOX and PS3 and other devices allowing them to just connect to my router as normal.
Those are the 2 methods I use. I have LTE in my area and I do about 4MB/s or 40Mbps on average.
For this current month I have used at least 107GB for the month even though my plan is 2.5GB...

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions and info.
I am a noob with Note 3 tethering options since I have not needed it at all (not even the 2.5 GB included), so I appreciate the specifics to help my understanding.
QUESTION re. method 1, "stock tethering, stock APN but UA switcher and custom UA profile (I assume this custom profile is done via UA switcher"?):
Does this method allow streaming on the connected device (laptop or tablet)? I.e. do I just need to go to my web browser to 'activate' the tethering connection?
Or do I need to do USB tethering with PDANet to allow streaming on the device that is tethered to my Note 3?
Thanks again!

1. PIA service is not free, I got a deal off of slickdeals.net that came to something around $22 a year if I'm not mistaken. But even at $35 I think its worth it. I use it on my home PC and all my mobile devices. I don't need an ISP seeing what I browse
2. Yes, you're correct about T-Mobile not being able to differantiate the traffic. Once I forgot to turn on VPN and after a while I got redirected to their page stating that I've exceeded the allowance. As soon as I engaged VPN I was able to browse right away again.
3. Sure there are free alternatives that might work, but with this solution I know I'm 100% safe not only from exceeding my allowance but also from any other prying eyes

Using VPN does work. The problem I had with using a VPN is that you dont get your full 4G or full LTE speed since all your data has to be encrypted to go through the VPN server.
Using the 2 methods I provided you not only get to bypass the 2.5 GB but you all get FULL 4G LTE speeds to your tethered devices.

Streaming on either of my methods work. If you go with the stock wifi tether, you just have to change your APN settings under network opetion on your phone from ip6 to ip4. THis is done by just creating a NEW APN and put in "fast.t-mobile.com" for your APN setting. After that is done, you can tether to other tablets or phones perfectly since those are mobile devices. For computers you have to change the UA String of your browser to a tablet or android device.
If you use the PDA Net method, you dont have to change the UA String, since the program itself has a way of blocking what kind of traffic is going through.

Yeah, so long story short, without VPN I still get full web access, and unlimited data.
Sharing the connection to my home Netgear router even extends the connection even further.

I use PDANet to Tether my phone via USB.
After that connection is established, depending on your version of windows, run your router to the LAN port on your computer and in NetWork Settings in Windows, set up ICS which is Internet Connection Sharing.
After that, you may have to power cycle the router to pick up the ip address and all that but from there, everything connected to the router will get full web access also. PDANet has a feature in the settings to hide your data traffic similer to using VPN so all data is counted as Phone Data and not Tethering.
At this rate, may be a while before I turn my Comcast back on. LTE also provides low latency and ping numbers.
Only down side I can see if during online games, when the NAT is more complex due to all the routing going on.

I use my tethering mostly for playing a few online games while I am at work(They really don't expect me to work the WHOLE time do they). It sounds like the second option would work better for me since the first option requires a UA switcher which you can't really for for say World of Warcraft. Is that accurate?
Why wouldn't you use wifi hotspot? Just curious. Weighing my options. Btw, thanks, I'm tethered using pdanet!

VPN issues?

I'm not so sure its just my VPN provider anymore. I've tried a few different apps and I get the same issues.
I'm currently with Private Internet Access (PIA) and I've tried both their app and OpenVPN and sometimes it will connect on LTE but I get no active data transfer.
I have reason to believe its because g3 doesn't do ipv4 anymore? But that doesn't make much sense as OpenVPN works over ipv6 supposedly. Is this an issue with my provider or the g3? I can't seem to figure it out. Anybody else having VPN issues? Please post results.
I am aware I can use native VPN feature but I don't like that I can't use a knock code for credentials.
This thread might be of help for you in regards to getting VPN to work: T-Mobile D851 IPV4 Support
The two main posters in there are trying to get IPV4 to work on the G3, as one of them, The Pagel, was trying to get it to work for their own VPN apps.

The issue is probably that you are getting a private IPv4 address from the provider, as well as a public IPv6 address (LTE areas only).
Most companies are still running VPNs on IPv4, and some VPNs won't play well with certain NAT implementations, which is used when you have a private IP address.
When you disable 4G and eHRPD, you will start getting a public IPv4 address again.
As you may have heard, we are running out of IPv4 addresses, and provider using NAT and Private IP addresses is a work around until more people deploy IPv6. Once your company deploys a VPN on IPv6, things should improve. However, this could take a while as this is a major transition and in some cases will require software/firmware updates on network equipment. Also, some very old operating systems don't always support IPv6, so all of that has to be retired as well.
Anyone know of a VPN service that runs IPv6 that would work on android? PIA doesn't work at all
I ran that patch from the other post, and no luck. Not a single VPN connection works on this phone. I am debating if I should take it back, as a VPN is a necessity to me
Did you mess around with your vpn settings at all maybe you should uninstall then re install? Pia is working fine for me with ipv4 in fact I am posting right now from my g3 on the vpn.

No script just make sure your on ipv4 not ipv4/ipv6 I think the script your referring to is for tether unless there is a script I haven't seen yet.

This is the only thing I've found relating to vpns and trying to get ipv4 on the g3.
How did you get it working?

Anything one flashes I consider a script. Wrong terminology I suppose. Also didn't notice you were posting in my thread....hai!
I take it you're mod works fine now?
I've thought of flashing it as I now live in an area where 3g and hspa could come it handy as I get either LTE, edge, or nothing now, mainly nothing.
I'm doing a bit of traveling atm so I can't peruse the pages, but how's it coming along? I could care less about native tether, there's apps to do it. As long as i t doesnt mess up my xposed tweaks I'm 3 seconds from flashing it....

Yeah native tether still doesn't work but everything else does. A few people have had problems but not many. I would suggest you make a backup before you do it because xposed is kind of a jealous lover and hates when you eye other modifications. But on the other hand it really depends on what xposed modules your using.

Just g3 tweaks. I wasn't sure if I could use normal xposed tweaks. I'll have to make a new backup with my xposed and I'll give it a shot. PIA working on WiFi still with the mod?

Probably not but I will check
*edit
Wait still? Does it work now? Haven't tried to find out.
I think it's something with LG's android build. When i had my Moto X I could use PIA on LTE. I did not check to see if it kicked itself to IPv4 but that seems to be the problem. It works if you have the EPC T-Mobile APN set to IPv4 and connect through HSPA+.

ipv4 is definitely locked down for fast on this tmobile version but it is luckily a easy work around if you don't mind loosing built in tether. I have confidence that built in tether will be fixed for that mod soon but I am currently using my phone tinkering time (limited atm) on a korean port that wont require any modifications. Before I stop caring about tmobile builds ill fix it. Something I am sure a lot of people might find interesting is after my first boot on the korean port it is looking like I might be able to bring voice over lte to our phone before it officially happens.
Unsure if related to the mod, but attempting to access tmo account via tmo app yields a server error
Since applying the mod
