Phone: HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA)
Current Rom: X-Plore 2.0
Radio: 2.19.11
Network: T-Mobile USA
Since upgrading to X-Plore 2.0 I am able to use Netfront, Internet Explorer, SMS, and MMS. But programs like Pocket IRC, the FTP client within Total Commander, and things like that won't connect to the net. I have verified that my settings are correct, So I donot understand what is occuring. All these worked perfectly before the upgrade but now donot at all. Unfortunately I donot have a Data Cable any longer to try and see if it was merely the rom or something else.
Please someone help!
This includes Windows Live (not connecting). I don't get it, why are browsers connecting but not my apps?
Okay just tried a hard reset. Still No Bueno.
If this helps:
Programs That Do Connect:
1. IE
2. NetFront
3. Opera (loaded only to test if it would connect)
4. SKTools (When it connects to see if there are updates available)
5. Tweaks2K2.Net (When it connects to see if updates are available)
Programs that DONOT connect:
1. PocketIRC (Keeps acting like it kind find a server to connect to just jumps from ip addy to ip addy trying to connecy)
2. Total Commander FTP Plugin (Says ''Username not accepted; Offline'' And that is on multiple FTP's including XDA'S!!)
3. Windows Live
Now I have verified my settings in connections and the fact that my browsers will connect shows me its able and is connecting and browsing the net. Please guys what could it be???? Thanks in advance!
And you are using GPRS ?
My WindowsLive is working ...i did not tested the others you said, but i am sure that Windows Live is connecting....except now, it won't work neither from my PC, that's M$'s bad not mine...
Mabe it's the connection or data plan. Are you sure that it worked before..or you changed data plan meanwhile ?
Yeah It worked before and I have not changed my data plan. If I recall it worked after the upgrade for a short while. Its been occuring for about a week now. Its bloody frusterating because my browsers all work, I can browse the internet, and do all that good stuff. I just cannot get things like PiRC & Total Commander to connect to the net. Even after a hard reset...Nothing. Could T-Mobile be blocking these apps? Of course once again that would not explain why NetFront and Opera, Sktools and Tweaks2k2 can connect. I am about to install OZ IM ill let you know if it works. Question though, Is there an alternative to using T-Mobile USA's 216 Proxy? Maybe a better one? Cuz maybe if I change the proxy to a non-T-Mobile one they won't be able to block it anymore..... Hmmm its an idea.
and sure enough OZ IM Connects its the one I found in the Ext. Rom
Yeah its gotta be a T-Mobile issue cuz all the programs that DONOT connect via GPRS/Edge connect perfectly via WIFI. Why would T-Mobile do that and is there a way around it?
Okay so I called T-Mobile and they deny doing anything of the sort. Which is good and bad. I am also getting a nice little messege in both WIFI and in GPRS when trying to download anything that states "This device is restricted from downloading this file type" when trying to download anything from the net. Any ideas?
Edit: I also called HTC and they said that there are no settings in the phone that would cuase this occurence which is bull becuase umm yeah....Anyway HTC tech support or at least every one of them that I talked to is for crud. Not very good support those guys.
Which data plan do you have? The $29.99 Internet one or the $5.99 T-zones one. If you only have the $5.99 plan, t-mobile filters a lot of the traffic that isn't on specific ports (ie port 80 for http works, but many other's won't) which causes some programs to not get network access. There were some proxies that allowed you to get around those, but a lot of them aren't working anymore last I heard.
If that's the case, probably your only solution is to pay for the full data plan which includes all ports internet access.
See the only reason I donot suspect the Data Plan being the issue (yes I have the 5.99 T-Mobile Web Plan,formely the $2.99 T-Zones) is because programs like NetFront and the like are connecting without issue. However I DO Suspect its a setting of some sort within the phone. I am going to try a level 2 Hard Reset (the one done with the combination of buttons) and see what happens. I tried a level 1 hard reset (The clear storage) to no avail. The level 2 hard reset will hopefully wipe it.

I am in the same boat as you. With my tinkering I found that programs automatically connect to the connection called "The Internet" which there is no way I can edit.
It connects to this "The Internet" automatically even when I set it to connect to my Proxy setting connection in Settings>Connections>Advanced tab on the bottom>Select Networks. Could that be the problem?
Okay after my Hard Reset 2 (the combination of buttons, I was finally able to get to download programs again, however I am back to having a 1MB download limit. And in answer to your question yes I have the same thing even though I don't have a connection called ''the internet'' other thing I have noticed is that the connection ISP does not allow for the assigning of a proxy server. Even though you can just make a new connection and assign a proxy server to that new one. This however does not circumvent our little issue. Nor does it get rid of my 1MB dl limit. Anichulis do you know how to change programs defualt connections away from Internet and assign them to use GPRS?
Hey This issue, is still occuring any ideas?
Anyone having problems with this.
The last few days, i can never connect to this, but can to the internet, tried all sorts and reinstalled the ROm, and another ROM, but nothing, just refuses to update once setup.
Me too, I'm on the standard £7.50 wnw and I can only assume that they have finally blocked the ports. I'm thinking about upgrading to the wnw+

having the same problem, could you report back if you upgrade and it sorts it out please
I spoke to tmob yesterday and they said that nothing has changed and it shouldn't be blocked. they suggested that its a microsoft issue, so I have opened a support case with ms.
personally I still think its tmob but I'll update you with my findings. out of interest which version do we have?
mine: 10.6.0032.2100
i have spoken with t-mo as well and they have said the same thing to me, using wifi and activesync windows live works fine, via gprs is a no go. I am currently using 10.6.0033.0600 have uninstalled and tried others as well, was using the previous i think 0200 for months without fault.
Im having exactly the same problem, and guess what? Im on the £7.50 web and walk plan.
Something really needs to be done, as my main email account is a hotmail one and I previously relied on the windows live push mail function, which used to work reliably for months on end...
When I try to force a manual sync using GPRS, it always gets hung up on the "syncronizing personal folders" stage, and my email fails to get updated.
BUMPing this thread for importance
Spot on this is v.serious, I'm about to suggest this service as a temp mail solution pending an exch install to a client.
I had a reponse from MS asking for more info so hopefully we should have an answer soon, I still think t-mob are blocking though but having said that the service came back last night for a couple of hours...
Are there any none t-mob UK users outthere that are seeing issues??
just using pocket msn now no problem with that, can sign into messenger without any fault using this loads up the mail service but not a push service, shows that is just something to do with windows live as i cant sign into messenger on that at all
support.live.com - log it as a windows live mobile issue
A question for you all, when did you last upgrade the client?? I wonder if my issues started after my last rom upgrade last week, I could downgrade but I don't really want to!
Guys, I can now CONFIRM that this is a T-Mobile issue.
I called them in my lunch break, spoke to a technical advisor. He confirmed T Mobile began blocking ports around a month ago. He could see instantly that as a webnwalk standard customer, my ports were blocked. He said to experiment, he would put the Webnwalk+ option tempoarily on my account and asked me to conduct a test. I did. I rebooted the phone once webnwalk+ was activated, and lo and behold, windows live mobile sync works perfectly.
I am waiting for him to call back in the next 10-15 mins to discuss just what T Mobile proposes to do about this. Im not paying extra for webnwalk+ just to push email. I feel this is unfair and (cosidering windows live is built into wm6) an incredible oversight on t mobiles part.
As we thought then... Can you let me know what options/which department you asked to go through to and I'll call them too.
I just asked to be put through to technical support regarding webnwalk.
The chap phoned me back, he said to test again with webnwalk put back to normal - I have, im getting sync failures again. He will call me again in the next 10 mins to propose what to do.
If I cant have push email on my £7.50 plan then I will leave the network. Its as simple as that. I hear O2 offer unlimited internet now...
t&c's from o2 (basically the same as t-mob):

I know what you mean but I think that O2 will have the same issues with WL as T-Mob do, its a pain that ms put the messaging client in the app as that is what they have an issue with.
Have T-Mob come back yet?? I'll give them a call tomorrow see what I can do.
Ive now been asked by T Mobile to make a log of sync status in half hour intervals. I have been doing this since 2pm. First two hours on normal webnwalk, the remaining 2 hours on webnwalk+. So far it has been as predicted, syncronization failures on webnwalk and at the moment, success with webnwalk+.
Still problems
I thought it was the ROM and upgraded up and down nothing.
What is the bloody point of W&W without Push !!!
Does any service provider in the UK offer this built in, as my contract is up at the end of the year.
Just thought id update you guys.
My contact at T Mobile phoned me again, confirming he had recieved a copy of my log by email. He will be speaking to his senior colleagues tomorrow to discuss where to go from here. In the interim, he has left me with webnwalk plus and all seems to be syncing okay.
Hi all,
newbie here so first post. Thought you may be able to answer a question for me?
I have just went over to Orange and got an HTC Touch HD, I use the internet sharing feature on the phone so I can connect to the internet using my phone.
Orange have given me free evenings and weekends on my phone internet, they tell me this is for internet access from the phone. The person I just spoke to couldn't tell me if this is still free when using internet sharing.
Anyone got any idea? I am assuming it is still free because in my opinion, as far as orange are concerned I am just "using the internet from my phone", I am just using the laptop at the end of it!
Any answers would be appreciated!
Martin
when you use internet setting there are two boxes
top is connection type (usb Bluetootth Pan)
can you tell me what the options are at the bottom
jus bear with me its worth it
Thanks for getting back to me, in the PC connection box i have USB and network connection is Orange Internet.
In the bottom left I press connect and get internet on my laptop
the only thing is this.
orange do not let you orange have orange internet free evening and weekends
they mean WAP free evenings and wekknds what you need to do is change the bottom box to orange wap not orange internet also
its only free if you access there orngeworld gateway first
if you bring up ie or firefox and its homepage is google youll still get charged you need to change you homepage to be orangeworld.co.uk
and make sure eveytime toy start a connection you must have the orangeworld page come up first
also if you youve already started all of thi then need to disconnect the phone for some reason remember that when you reconeect your phones the first opage to be visited is orangeworld.co.uk
Just to confirm,
I change my connection to Orange WAP
Change homepage on my PC to www.orangeworld.co.uk
Then go on to browse as I like
And i should get this all for free???
yes also ask you orange customer services if you can have the £1.50 daily cap bundle this meaans if ever they do charge you they cant charge you more than 1.50 a day
i used these two together and the times i went oline during the day
came to 3 GB and i got charged £15
Thanks for that.
I know I have the £1.50 capped bundle active. Does that mean using the other type of connection I originally used then I was still capped at £1.50?
I have loaded up IE on my pc with orangeworld.co.uk as my homepage and then opened a new tab and loaded this favourite so hopefully now it will be free.
Much appreciated!
im not sure if the cap and the free wap are used in conjuction but i know that if you use the orange internt insyead of wap then itll be capped
all in allif you find your using more than allocated
i also recomend getting the mobile broadband dongle
(if you phone signal is less than 3g there is no point
BTW id do not work for orange but have been a customer for years
also if you do in the future order the dongle then make sure you get the fre alptop theyre offering, they didnt offer me this and i seen it in an ad not long after i odered so im gonna ring them now nd give em what for
I have unlimited high speed data with T-Mobile but only 5GB mobile hotspot.
I want to use USB tether to my PC without the carrier knowing. I don't want carrier to know or else it will use up my 5GB hotspot. Is it possible to tether without the carrier knowing and using up my 5GB hotspot?
What is the difference between the built in tethering method of my BlissPop ROM vs. the ClockworkMod Tether app? Will the ClockworkMod Tether app prevent the carrier from knowing?
I use PdaNet+ with my phones and unlimited T-Mobile highspeed plan. I haven't tried ClockworkMod Tether, so I can't speak for it, but it sounds like it works the same way. Both use a companion program on the PC. With PdaNet there is an option in PC application to "hide tether usage", which creates a sort of VPN that blocks the carrier from knowing what your data is being used for. I don't know how this option is set up in CWM Tether, but by its description it has the same function. No obnoxious user agent masking plug-ins to mess with
Both have a trial version, so give them a try before deciding which one you prefer. PdaNet's trial works for ~10 minutes before turning off (you can turn it on again), CWM's works for 14 days before limiting you to 20MB/day. You might have only have one installed at any given time though, as having both might cause complications.
I use about 300GB/month with my T-Mobile high speed plan. Saves me hundreds of dollars a year not needing home internet (I live alone). I browse, stream Amazon Prime, view risque pictures of attractive females, download torrents, etc. Never been throttled, cut off, gotten angry emails, or anything.
Even more fun is that you can run WiFi Tether Router (by Fabio Grasso) at the same time and give your other devices (if you have any) at the same time. However, this is murder on your battery. Wifi tethering takes a ton of juice, so your devices is constantly charging while discharging (sometimes not fast enough, and it discharges faster than it charges). Because of this, I'd recommend using a cheap phone with a removable battery (I use a Galaxy Light). I've already blown up (not quite literally) 2 batteries on my Galaxy Light doing this, so I wouldn't recommend doing this with a phone like the OnePlus One where the battery isn't easily replaceable. Not for an extended period of time, anyway. You don't need to worry about this if you're only USB tethering. It takes extremely little juice and doesn't create any heat other than typical charger and data use.
The one caveat I've found with using PdaNet is that Netflix won't load while you're USB tethered. Whatever the PC program does to mask your data messes with Microsoft Silverlight, and you'll get taken to the page about minimum required specs and browser versions. The way around this is to disable the "hide tether usage" option, load the video, then once it starts loading (the red ring), hide the tether usage again. It's a PITA, and you have to remain vigilant about re-hiding the usage, or you'll obliviously and quickly use up your tethering allotment. Small price to pay though, right? I don't know if the ClockWorkMod Tether app has this problem. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't check. Amazon Prime doesn't have this issue.
I can't speak for the tethering method within BlissPop, or any other ROM. I know carriers often disable and/or hijack the tethering that is natively built into Android. But without a companion program PC side, like PdaNet and CWM Tether offer, I'd expect that it'd count against the tethering allotment.

Thanks for the great detailed insight! I'll give pdanet+ a try. Btw, do you know if T-mobile allows you to track how much of the mobile hotspot data you have used?
I am curious to know if custom ROMS such as BlissPop prevent the carrier from knowing when using the native Android tethering. What if I use a VPN on my phone or on my PC along with the native Android tethering. Will the carrier find out?

As long as there's a T-Mobile SIM card in the phone, you can download their account app. It tells you your minutes, messages, data usage (including tethering), when your bill is due, etc. You can pay your bill through it too. I find it to be very useful. Just make sure you turn off all the diagnostics and notifications. Not because they'll learn anything you don't want them to know, but because they're obnoxious and useless.
I know it's an old question but I'll post a response for those who arrive here via a Google search. It's incredibly simply to get around the carrier limitation. Follow the instructions in this link below which, while very detailed because they want to reach a wide audience, explains how to solve the problem. You just need to add a record to a database file. It's that simple. If you're an expert then just skip to the end of the tutorial for the database that needs to be edited and for the record that needs to be added. I tried this on my Note 4 on T-Mobile. I was throttled and after making this edit I'm back to full speed.
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/tether-your-nexus-5-without-your-carrier-knowing-0155546/
Quick edit: the battery drain is an issue but is easily solved with either additional batteries or with a phone/charger combo that allows for fast charging. With a fast charger on my Note 4 I easily stay ahead of the battery drain.
I use and am currently using clockwork tether in conjunction with nord vpn Most of the vpn servers are very stable I always link up with them for several days to make sure it is not killing the connection before I link it on my phone but it works great. All the traffic going through the isp is encrypted so they cant tell that I am hooked up to the xbox servers on my phone there is no way to tell that it is not regular phone traffic. If you are going to do this I would deffinitely reccomend spending the money fo a good vpn service. You will not be able to game over this connection but download speeds are good. I get nord vpn servvice for less than 3 dollars a month when I buy their 2 year plan for like 71 bucks. They havve servers all over the world and it also protects me from any backlash I might see due to my heavy p2p dowloading. Clockwork tether is great because it will utilize lte networks not just the 3g networks and it does not require any root access. I am currently on lg g6 through sprint so root will be a while out if ever (encrypted bootloader) but I can still utilize my unlimited lte data. I also have a grandfathered data line with them that is unlimited but they will not let me upgrade to lte. When they let 4g wimax die i was downgraded to nothing but 3g on that line but I cant give it up because I use 250 to 300 gigs a month on just it. I had a lot of problems with the wifi air cards because of the high discharge rates and heat problems but have solved that by going to the old 3g computer dongles now and running them directly into openwrt router. Good enough to play call of duty on but not good for download speeds and if my wife is looking up a recipe for dinner it lags out. Thus I use the tethering for all downloads and the data only line for regular traffic that is permitted. (Not pirating vvideos because i dont want to give them a reason to kick me off my unlimited plan) n0sec
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this.
so I pay our homes Internet plan and we have a monthly limit of 100GB and my sister (somehow) managed to use 60GB in the past 20 days and finish our internet!!! I showed her on her phone which apps are eating the internet and disabled the background usage of them and "Installed Internet speed meter" so she can keep an easy eye on her usage, and 10 days later(on the monthly renewal of our plan) when I checked ISM on her phone it was only showing the Internet use of that day! she obviously reset the app the day before (I'm using this app myself and it always shows 30days of use unless you rest the app!)
I can't use her phones normal Data usage in the setting cuz It only shows a full month and doesn't let you choose a smaller time frame. and our plan doesn't start on the first day of the month.
so Is there an app I can install on her phone to send me her WiFi use to my phone or email, I don't want any other info, just the amount of WiFi use, I saw some other apps and they're all focused on stuff like social apps and emails and messages, but I just want the amount of WiFi, I don't even care which apps she uses, Can someone help me out here?
thank you . . .
PS: I actually thought of something even better and a lot none invasive, I'm using a D-ling router, is there a way for me to check her phone's usage over in the router menu? I know each device has an address I just don't know where to look for it!

Who is your ISP? Have you logged into the router??
Usually 192.168.0.1 from a web browser whilst you're connected to the said network..
From there you can monitor connected devices, depending on the routers features you may even be able to restrict or even cut off devices when they meet a certain threshold..
If you router doesn't allow that then you could obtain another router as an ad-hoc connection which does feature these settings and then make the changes from there..
Your sister could also look at her usage and alter accordingly, IE: turning off updates, modding her routine usage like streaming instead of downloading once then re-listening?
Who pays the bill? If she is the sole person going over it then bill her! If she's too young to pay then let the dishes pile up and create a system so she can work it off by doing housework, she'd learn valuable lessons that way...
Hope this helps..

On another hand you could just get WiFiKill installed on your phone and cut her off when you like.

thanks for the reply
I'm paying the bill and paying it isn't the problem, I know my internet usage is high so I got this connection with that in mind and thought the rest of the house can't go through more than 30-40GB per month so we're set, and I was right for them except for my sister! Apparently, she thinks the internet fairy pays for our monthly plan!
It's Instagram and another app like it, they both used 20GB each in 20 days! I saw it in her data usage in settings.
our router does not have any kind of feature to help with this situation! I searched for hours! I can see the connected devices but I can't do anything about it! I don't wanna buy another router cuz I don't live here, I'm just here for a month or two, my home's setup has a lot of options when it comes to traffic control but I never had to look into it!
I've been buying extra traffic each month for a while now (when ever I'm here) and I thought changing our plan would take care of that! I don't really wanna be mean and just cut her off! I suppose I just have to keep reminding her.

I'm paying the bill and paying it isn't the problem, I know my internet usage is high so I got this connection with that in mind and thought the rest of the house can't go through more than 30-40GB per month so we're set, and I was right for them except for my sister! Apparently, she thinks the internet fairy pays for our monthly plan!
It's Instagram and another app like it, they both used 20GB each in 20 days! I saw it in her data usage in settings.

What about a software solution? Not sure how stable it would be but may be something you can take with you when you're not there? Haven't used one myself but must exist..
