Develop Bugs

Parents thing

My parents need to need to lock up my phone so I have no Internet access, not even wifi. Is there an app that anyone can develop or if there is one already that cannot have data cleared or force stopped? Please tell me as soon as possible.

Let me explin it better again sorry to bump this.. I need somthing that can lock wifi and i have no root but like lock it so no internet access at all and need a pasword to lock it.. But maybe also a phone watcher that monitors? But not text monitor.

Go on the play store and browse. There is an app that can lock other apps without root with a password.

By the way i need an answer real soon!

Lmao, are you able to just put it into airplane mode? Or do your parents want it locked down where its only accessible by their authority?

Under there authority

Doesn't Sprint offer stuff like that through your contact.

No it doesn't. Wifi is internal on the Android System. And I have no root and I won't root it because of warranty. :/ So that means I can't use a rom with a wifi bug !! :/

Yeah app locker I saw but my dad said no wifi :/

What don't they just put a new password on the WiFi and disable your internet?

Yea too bad you can't root. But the only warranty it voids is HTC's, so it doesn't really matter since if something happens, it goes through your insurance usually.
Rooting= get stock Rom, remove all WiFi modules and files from kernel and Rom, problem solved.

Maybe I am thinking to technical. But you should be able to set your home modem with a MAC filter so that you are blocked on WiFi. I would suggest an ip filter but that normally comes with ups and downs as your phone will look for a new ip later. If you can get your folks to just set up a MAC filter then they can shut down the internet at certain times when you are not allowed to have it and it will function when you are allowed. I do this with my son, all his devices even his xbox get no internet access after 9:30. Every new device he brings home I lock it down. But thats just me.

Just get the app locker and have your parents set their own password, and turn off WiFi and mobile data. Only bad thing is is that you'll be locked out of the entire settings menu. Also, I understand how you feel, I'm 14 years old. Lol. Good luck!

One would assume if he can't have wifi at home then he probably can't have it anywhere else? So locking the Mac would only work at home, kinda defeats the purpose?

Rooting on its own, won't do anything, but freezing or deleting the tethering manager or the tethering provision (if you're on stock ICS) should get the job done.
Now keep in mind that T-Mobile's tethering detection works by detecting your browser agent. Therefore if you're tethering another android phone, then they won't know (unless they were to inspect packets of data, which they don't do) but if tethering to a PC it's best to install a Web Browser agent switch, so they think that you're really using your Android browser.
Now keep in mind that you're doing this completely on your own risk. It should work, but if they catch you, then there might be consequences.

You are talking about the unrestricted mod Jov23 implemented into his Darthstalker ROM. It works great, only thing is T-Mobile sometimes catches wind of your tethering by sniffing the user agent, and then they shut your ability to tether off. So two ways around this. Use a user agent switcher on your computer so it looks like a phone to T-Mobile, use safari browser which already works fine without switching user agent, or use VPN so T-Mobile doesn't get a chance to see what your using. I recommend hotspot shield app from play store.

You can still tether, as long as you use a VPN T-Mobile won't detect it or at least stop you from tethering. VPN One Click in the Playstore works fine for me, sometimes it takes a couple of tries for it to connect and stick but it gets the job done once it does, plus it's free.

Yeah vpn lets tether work even after tmobile turning it off. I think VPN one click limits you to 100 mb ? Hotspot shield has unlimited VPN
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If anything use the hotspot shield, then download foxfi from the store, run hotspot shield with foxfi = win and unlimited tethering!

I have been using my device as a hotspot for months now on a rooted device for free with no problems. last month I used 119gb of data without T-mobile sending me anything. All I had to do is change the user agent on whatever device I connected to my phone. If its another android device then
I dont have to change the user agent because T-Mobile has no clue its not my phone. Now on my laptop I just change the user agent in google chrome to Opera and since Opera is a android browser T-Mobile has no idea its not my Phone.

(Q) free wifi tethering

So I went to the (how to guide) here and it describes how to get it with the wifi tether app and being rooted... well ive done that mate.... and I check my t-mobile account and it still uses my 2.5 gigs of free wifi tethering.... is there another way?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

If you already have a plan with free tethering what exactly do you expect from this? If you use data, it's going to show up on your account as being used whether you are tethering or not.

I don't expect anything I just thought the WiFi tethering would show up on on my data plan which is unlimited. My tether plan is only 2.5 gigs plan. It does the same as the stock hotspot tethering. Which in turn renders that app "WiFi tethering" useless. Its no big deal just asking the guide said he could use unlimited WiFi tether and T-Mobile didn't charge him for unlimited use... that wasnt the case for me....

It works for all data going in and out of your phone. And it all depends on which vpn you choose. A lot of free ones slow down data speeds to keep it free. Paid ones do not.

Worked first try after install. Very simple. install and your tethering! Works perfectly. I've tried the others with no joybut this one really works well. Hope this helps. Best wishes

If your with Tmobile... use the my tmobole account app
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

STEP 1
"STOCK ROM"
-download "1 click tether" from the market...this will force the internal tethering to turn on
OR
Run an AOSP rom, internal tethering is unlocked in aosp roms
STEP 2
once youve figured out step one, you should be able to tether, whether on aosp or tw ,it dont matter....only problem is, tmobile will soon block you because of your user agent on the computer
so you have two options...
1. download a browser on your computer that supports changing your user agent...chrome, firefox...ect...change the user agent to something other than windows...you can now use unlimited tethering on your browser.
NOW.....This will only give internet to the browser, not the computer globally...The only way to get global tethering on every program on the pc you'd have to set up a VPN...via the phone or via pc...VPN's are usually not free thou
My setup
-Running CM10 ROM
-Using the internal tethering option in the rom
-I use google chrome
-In google chrom i use this extension called "user agent switcher" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf
-everytime i open google chrome i change the user agent to "safari on mac"
DONE

Yes try vpn hideman.

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.
