I make sure I've got data connected by testing on Google maps and ie, so I know the connection is present. When I goto "Weather Update", it looks to stall at 10%. I set it to "y" for connect to GPRS first. I have re-installed Chome weather and rebooted still no luck. BTW I'm running v 1.9d.

Change the "Y" to an "N" for 'Connect to GPRS first'. Try to update after that. If it doesn't work, then reboot and try to update again.
R U going through a proxy. (ie: using the 5.99 t-zones hack?) i've heard that using the proxy can cause issues with the update. The other thing is, if you are not using a proxy and are using the 19.99 tmobile plan, make sure under gprs settings and whatever you have your data connection named, that it's set to access "the internet"

I am using the 5.99 proxy. Will updates work using this method? if so, how.
I'm going to look into this, but i believe i may have to add a line that specifies the proxy in he weather script.
I think I got it working. Previously, to get the 5.99 to work, I ran "tmotzones.cab" which input the settings for the proxy to work. I think that was my problem...now I removed that app and manually input the proxy settings, so now it looks good. Thanks for the replies.
i have the proxy manually input and it still doesn't update no matter what i do and i've done it all. The only time i can get it to update is via wifi. I can't even get it to work via usb sync only thru wifi. I have the starting 10% and when i press update it says no internet connection? but i have one and the proxy works on ie, live search, etc. any ideas?
try going to www.yahoo.com in IE and see if that works. Let me know if it does or not.
Update seems to be working, but now it looks like the pretty icon has turned to a large red "X".

I've just switched to Iphone slim LCD and will observe again...location @ 77346.
I had this same problem and posted it on the Chome weather thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2217606#post2217606
Glad you got some answers.
I guess I'm still to new to the site.
I am using 5.99 plan, when i insert give me 10% update, when i insert (Y) uppercase worked. 100% . try and post.
Good observation. Works over data for me too when I capitalize the Y.
Thanks for the catch guys, I updated the script to detect that now I never had to use that options myself, since I'm on an "always on" connection. I just made that option available for guys like you, but never had a chance to really test it out on my own
My stock Tilt2 has all of a sudden given me problems with the data connection. It tells me when I try to open apps such as FIM or the Weatherbug app that I don't have a data connection and I need to refresh it. I click refresh and still no luck. The thing is, it shows that MEdia net is connected. I can use the internet without any problems, though. It just seems to be when I run an app that required connectivity that it doesn't work. It also gave the the error when I tried to update the quickGPS function today.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Any experience this?
I'm sure someone knows what is going on.
I also could not get the Bing app to work right. I could not locate me (even through GPS), therefore could not search for anything nearby. I then downloaded the Google Maps app, and it worked fine! WTF???
Try Settings-Connections-Connection Setup.
That doesn't change a thing......
I don't know what happened. I just tried downloading a new app that also gave me a "failed connection".
Anyone have a clue?

You'll need to search in the forums here for the correct network settings based on what carrier you're with (T-mobile, Sprint, Vodaphone, etc), and go through them and correct whichever of yours have gotten set wrong.

I tried this last night and believe that all my settings are correct. (AT&T)
The internet runs fine using IE or Opera, it only appears to be apps that access the internet, such as the WeatherBug app, FIM, etc. FIM works to see things such as Status updates, etc, but it says "Failed using the internet connectio. Try to restart your data connection" and won't allow me to see who is online on the main page. Everything else thru FIM works fine.
The Weatherbug app gave me a similar error message and would not load any weather data or forecasts.
Here is what I have set, ya'll let me know if things are good.
Start/Settings/Connections/Advanced Network/
I have "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" selected.
CHAP authentication is selected
CSD Line Type: Data rate 9600 bps(v.32)
Connection element: non-transparent
Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/
Advanced: Network Management:
Programs that automatically connect use: MEdia Net
Programs that connect via Private use: MEdia Net
Under the Wireless Manager, both the "Phone" and "Data Connection" are turned on, everything else is off (and has been since I got the phone. The apps listed above worked this way also before).
I have also gone thru Start/Tools/Proxy Manager/ and done the Restore Proxy as suggested on other threads.
I am at a loss......a Hard Reset is my last resort, as I will have to go through my business to download the Good.com software again to get my work emails going (not that it is a hard thing to do.....)
FYI, I am running the stock AT&T ROM also.
Lastly..... if I did do a hard reset and decided to flash a cooked ROM, could I still run the Good.com Mobile Messaging software for my work email??
Thanks in advance!
I'm on AT&T in Michigan & my GPRS authentication is set "PAP Authentication"
I've tried both with no change in my original problem.

Anyone solve this? I've been having similar problems... WIFI internet sharing lost the relationship to MEdia Net, but Opera and IE work just fine. Now Google Maps won't work, says there's no data network. ANd now, MMS picture messages won't work, says "Proxy Error".
I don't screw with the settings. Ever.
?????
I was having a similar problem with the data side of it. After talking to tech support at AT&T and HTC, no help there, I changed the setting from Enable HSDPA/HSUPA to Enable HSDPA only. Data problem appears to be fixed over 3g anyway. I haven't been using it long enough to say it is ACTUALLY fixed still but it's working at the moment which is more than moments ago.
Hey guys, I just upgraded from eris (2.2.1 KaosFroyo) to Droid Incredible. I am not sure if this has been talked about on this end of the forum or not, I did look but could not find anything. When I open the 3g mobile hotspot app that came stock with the unit, it states "You need the 3g mobile Hotspot feature from Verizon Wireless in order to use this service." When I hit ok, it appears to have shared my internet access. I have not added this service through verizon, am I going to be charged and is there a way around it?
Thanks in advance for any guidance with this. I look forward to being on this forum now.
You have to agree to pay like $25 a month... It will appear to work but when you try to use it it'll only show pricing for it.

There is a work around for it. 1st choice it to ROOT your Incredible and then download wireless tether. No charge.
Second is to follow the below steps:
1) Dial ##778, SEND
2) EPST dialog comes up. Select 'Edit Mode'. Enter SPC (000000), hit OK.
3) Scroll to down to 'Security', select it. Change 'S.IP DUN User name' to [email protected] (from [email protected])
4) Hit back arrow to go back and go/select 'M.IP Default Profile'. Change 'DUN NAI' to [email protected] (from [email protected])
5) Hit menu button, and 'Commit Modifications', phone will save changes and reboot.
This allows you to "by pass" the pay for service screen from VZW and you can access the wireless hotspot. I tried it before I rooted and it worked but it seemed slow to me.

This is the method I use.....
I am rooted and have used both the wireless tether app in the market, as well as the built in from Verizon (which I prefer because of wpa encryption)....
In my day to day surfing....no actual testing... the verizon one works faster. At least on pulling up graphics intensive sites like cnn.
I'd be interested in knowing if there is a work around like this on the Droid 2 as that is what my friend has and the menu doesn't exist on that. (I tried)

If you data usage changes significantly, you take a chance in getting caught. I wanted mine active so my wife could use her laptop in the car. As long as you are not using it as your primary internet source I think you'll be fine.
I use mine periodically and have never been charged and i have never read of anyone being charged. People have been doing this for around 7 years and verizon just doesnt care enough to stop it...Yet.

I'd just like to point out that the newest version of wifi tether (found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ) supports WPA2 encryption as well as AP mode instead of ad-hoc
I'm not 100% sure but someone said once that all phones may have the option menu its just under different numbers such as ##program or ##help or something like that but I've never tested it just remember someone's theory

Why bother modifying this (something possibly patchable) when an easy download of the wireless tether app is just as good?
Anyone know where to get the 3g mobile hotspot app? I noticed that skyraider removed the one from Verizon.

There is no modifying or patching of the app. All you do is change the username the DUN uses. It is set to allow Verison to know you are tethering. If you change it to your standard username (the one the internet browser, mail, and all the other apps use) then Verison does not know you are tethering. All they know is you are logged into the nework and using a data connection. No worry of being caught unless you are dumb enough to use your phone as your primary internet connection and use it everyday. The average user will spike here and there with normal internet use and this is what Verison will also see.
Is changing the s.ip dun user name needed?? I never changed mine and haven't had an issue... Would changing it make it harder to find out I'm doing this??

If you are rooted using wifi tether, there is no need to do this. It is a hack for non rooted users.
The only way VZW will find out is if you are using an obscene amount of data.

Finally after researching and searching for 2 days I came to the Solution to go around Pakistan's restriction on Youtube, Wikileaks and Google Play store.
As you know that YouTube is owned by Google. Yoiube IP is same as most of the Google's ip's.
PTA have blocked the IP so many Google services had stop.
to resolve this issue i must have to look into the internet to have some idea on how to bypass such filters. so i came to this SOLUTION for PAKISTAN ANDROID USERS.
Note: this Solution and app is only for rooted users. if you don't know to root then please refer to rooting first
Solution:
Tor is type of Proxy service called VPN(Virtual Private Network)
you can download the app from there website.
https://www.torproject.org
direct download: https://www.torproject.org/dist/android/0.2.3.10-alpha-orbot-1.0.7-FINAL.apk
i will guide you to make it happen
1.download and install the orbit.
2.Open Orbit.
3.tap next
4. hit request super user access
5.select all apps through tor and tap next.
6.tap Close.
7.now you will be directed to this screen. Now hit menu button and go to Settings
Menu>settings
8.scroll to the end and tick "use default iptables"
9.Now long press the button to turn it on.
at the point Orbit will configure all your settings automatically.
and a notification will appear in notification bar as "transparent proxying ENABLED" and "Connected to Tor Network"
10. now it's time to check your Configurations and VPN service
hit menu button in orbit app and tap "check"
You will see this window on your browser which is the proof that you are connected through Tor's VPN
that's All :victory:

Let's stick to English, shall we?
There's another app that sort of acts like a proxy between you and the web: Onavo Extend. It creates a VPN - and all network communication gets rerouted through there.
But this is interesting as well... if this works on Wifi as well, then great! Onavo doesn't - it only works on data (and we know EDGE in Pakistan isn't exactly worthwhile for watching videos...)
Edit: turns out Orbot is available in the Market. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android&hl=en

2.Check All apps through Tor Option. (compulsory)
3.Grant/Access The orbot when Superuser notification appear. (compulsory)
4.tick "default iptables" in settings menu.
5.Connect and check if you are connected through Tar.
6.If not, restart and double check these steps.
to those who are having Playstore, Gtalk Issues, kindly go to Manage apps and clear the data of playstore, or which ever application is facing the issue.

Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked but I couldn't find it on any particular thread. About 10 days ago I started getting T-Mobile's upsell for tethering that I'd (thanks to the awesome developers) been able to successfully evade for over a year. Is there any fix for this? I'm (now) running Lollipop but it happened before upgrading so it seems unrelated. Thanks in advance!

There's only one solution working for me right now, but you'll have to buy this app: Wifi Tether Router
Go into /system and make a copy of your build.prop
Open your build.prop with a text editor and add this line all the way at the bottom:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save the file and reboot your device
Open the wifi tether router app and go to "configure wifi router." At the bottom of the page, there's a button to visit the site for device config settings. Scroll down that page to find settings for Note 3.
Once you're all set up, you should be good to go. Only thing you have to do is use a UserAgent switching app on your browser to make it think you're on a mobile device. I'm using User-Agent Switcher (with the blue globe icon) for Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Once you're all set up, you should be good to go. Only thing you have to do is use a UserAgent switching app on your browser to make it think you're on a mobile device. I'm using User-Agent Switcher (with the blue globe icon) for Google Chrome.
Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply, but with a user-agent switcher, everything works even now. I was hoping to avoid changing my headers because certain sites won't be served to a "mobile" device. Luckily, my internet tv apparently doesn't send any headers because I can still tether unlimited...ly with that, but it's definitely frustrating getting mobile versions of sites on my laptop. I have observed a somewhat strange behavior that I wonder if we can exploit. It's somewhat finicky, but I've noticed that if I Google the name of a site I want to access (still via the address bar, though), the search results come up without TMO nagging me about a hotspot and oftentimes the link from the search results takes me to the site. I can't make sense of it, but as an example, if you try www.yahoo.com, you'll get the hotspot page, but if you google "yahoo" and click the first result, you get taken to the site. *shrug* I'm not smart enough to figure it out, but perhaps this observation will help someone else solve the problem

Glad you got it working! Yeah, idk about the Google Search trick, but I'll try it out sometime.
