Guys,
First of all I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work accomplishing TRUE TETHERING on the G1. It works flawlessly. THANKS!!! You guys are geniuses!!!
I have a question to ask with using tether-1.6.tar
Most of my programs I have that require internet access work all for one stinking video chat program I always use to chat with my family while I'm away on work assignment. It's a program called ISPQ. I can log into the program, and it pulls up the directories with all of the users signed in, and I can send quick messages, but when someone sends me a message the picture field is blank and in the directory when you click on a persons name to see their profile the picture area is blank as well. On their website it shows what ports you need opened for the program to run successfully as I'll post them down below. When I used to Tether with my TMO DASH the program always worked so I'm sure there is a way to get it working using the G1 tethered as well.
Thanks again,
Anthony

as far as i know, i dont think their is a firewall on the phone it should already be opened. I have connected to my sling box which is some random port and it worked sucessfully.

Thanks for your response. Strange when I run the built in network utility in that program it DOES say it's detecting a firewall when there isn't. Probably a quick uninstall/re-install of the program should get it working properly. Everything else other then that single program works great. Streaming live video and audio works flawlessly as well. Amazing how this is true tethering and it blows the doors off of Tetherbot.
The people who got this all going are like god to me.
Yes! I also tether with this method, and it works flawlessly, I get 135KBpps down. And 85KBps up on edge, and on 3G I get around 900KBps down and 240ish up. It's funny though, after running a speedtest, it said my phone was located in kansas when I'm actually in cali, maybe its a ip address location error. But back to your situation, I haven't had any issues with ports on of the programs that required specific ports to function. =)
The location is correct, T-Mobile sends all their info through a proxy in kansas or some place back east, and that is why our speeds are sometimes slow.

Neoobs, Would that be the case in the Philadelphia area as well? I'm asking of this because if Tmo sends all of their info through proxy in this area as well, that's the reason why my videochat program isn't working properly (laptop/G1 Tethered).
Strange is that when I hook up my old Tmo Dash and tether it, ispq works fine but it's terribly slow running on Edge.
3G gets sent to a different proxy but both are sent through proxies.
I know there are some ways around it just not able to get the info right now as I am AFH

I searched and searched with no results. There has to be a way around this. If I can video chat with the Dash Tethered to my lappy, there for sure has to be a way on the G1.
Neoobs,
Any word or source of a way around the 3g proxy/videochat with my post?
Thanks again......
Since TMO's 3g/edge connection goes through a proxy at the main how could I find out what Proxy IP and Port it is? In the program there is an option to log in through proxy so I guess I would need to know what's the proxy address they use for 3G in my area. Anyway I could find out?
It isn't like a software proxy, it is a hardware proxy, there is no info you can put in to get around it really. I will test this and see.
I can't find the info on how to get around it but I know I did because I was running programs (torrents) that were saying I was fully connected and even had someone remote into my PC while I was on it (was a friend) so nothing should be blocking it. BTW I was using openDNS servers maybe that is what helped.

Open DNS Servers? Where would I add the values and what would they be? something like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2?

I'm about to beg you to download ISPQ and set it up (via Wifi Tether) and see exactly what I'm talking about. lol It's actually a pretty cool program and it's a free 21 day trial.
I will download it and get back to you in 24 hours.
Thank you so much!!!!
It all works fine for me, lets me log in and see others. What is the problem exactly?
Thanks for trying it out. I can log in but I can't see the user profile pictures in the directory and also when I receive a qm from someone the picture area is blank. All I can see is the text they sent in the message, not the picture..
Can you run the network diagnostic test in the programs options? Doesn't work here.
Can you see the users in the directories profile pictures and if someone qmed you, you can see their image along with the text?
I can see the users listed in the directories but no pictures of the users and the qms, I can read the text in the qm, just can't see the users image. Funny part of it all is I can successfully video chat in there and I can see the users video while video chatting. Your help with this is very appreciated. You can private me your response if you may.
Thanks again..
Hi,
I was at Panera today and could see their Wi-fi, said "connected", but was grey, not blue in status.
Would try to find the Panera page accepting their terms, but stopped halfway loading.
It looked like the stats were DHCP and that's all I could tell.
any help?
Thanks

Yes...try the chocolate brownies...they are great.
seriously...no...I haven't had a chance to try Panera's but it does the same thing on my laptop sometimes...not sure if it's the TF...
Thanks!
Never had an issue with win XP Pro on my laptop....

I have actually used my transformer at panera. Once you connect, you have to open up the browser and accepts their TOS. Then you are set!

And sorry, meant to add that you might need your browser set to a desktop string. To fully load their TOS

You can also try setting a static DNS (not any other part of the IP, let it DHCP that) of 8.8.8.8
Those are google's DNS servers and this often lets you skip the web browser login aspect of many free or even PAY wifi at hotels.

Ahhhh... Whenever I typed about:debug into the browser nothing happened..
But, then I went to settings and found that more options were there.
It's now under advanced - set it for desktop rather than tablet so that the browser won't load the pages as mobile.
I'll try it later today!

Yeah can you guys elaborate on this? I am not following this at all?!
Me too please!
interesting.
the 8.8.8.8 DNS setting made my Xperia X10 disgustingly fast from home....the only issue is that i had to assign a static IP to the phone itself...I just chose a random one that I knew was part of my home network...
do you think that will cause a problem later on?

for the future, when the wifi icon is grey instead of blue, your still connected, but you don't have direct access to google servers which means syncing is down.
This is normal with any internet that requires a log-in page.
For example at my school i have to log in through the browser like you do at panera, and gmail won't update because the google sync dosn't have direct access. You can do a manual check, but it won't do it on it's own.
just so you know.
Hello everyone, so I recently finally got blocked from tethering by T-Mobile after a long time of sucking it out of them by being rooted and on a custom ROM like all of us here.
The way they know you are tethering on their network is by the User Agent that is sent to them by your desktop/laptop computer browser. When they see that a regular browser is accessing their network, that's when you get the infamous T-Mobile Hotspot Screen we all hate.
I've recently discovered a Firefox Add-On called User Agent Switcher found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/?src=search
Download it and install it to Firefox. Then download this (right click, "Save as") http://techpatterns.com/downloads/firefox/useragentswitcher.xml
Go to Tools>User Agent>Edit User Agents (a window pops up) click on "Import.." and add the .xml file you just downloaded.
Then pick a User Agent that resembles the Sensation webkit and BAM! Free tethering for all of us.
I'm using it right now
NOTE: If you use a Googlebot User Agent, you will be able to tether and always load up full webpages instead of mobile versions. - Thanks to The Archangel and chadwick3nser for discovering this!
You can also do the same with chrome.
Been doing it for since the day they released it.

I actually take it one step further an either completely hide my IP on the computer or switch it so they can't try to block it.
Nice!
Is that how att detects also?

just about every major cell company does the exact same thing to detect it. Maybe different variants but still the same.
I am doing this right now as well, but all the desktop pages are in mobile. I have found the desktop button on the bottom of the youtube site but cant find it on most sites. any workaround for this?

nevermind, i used googlebot 2.1 new version and its working great, thanks for this!!!
Glad you got it working.
Hey op. Heres a suggestion, put in the your first post. Use a Google bot user agent. Using that will load all the web mail pages normally.

What are you using to block the IP address? I was thinking just changing the IP to not be the standard DHCP that the phone would give you still shows it coming from another MAC address on the same connection and would be obvious to the write sniffing rules?
I realize this isn't a requirement I've been using the UA for a while from canary but I easily see them stopping this workaround w/ better sniffing rules.

This is a very bad advice as pretending to be a googlebot may get you either blocked or banned from many websites (especially if they use ZBBlock) as this behavior is rated as a spammer/bot activity.

I've been doing it for a while, never got a ban on my end
Okay I've been tethering fine for a while on FF, but T-Mobile finally blocked me yesterday... I figured out that it was the second I started to watch a YouTube video. Guessing they're able to see activity on my cell account at the same time as my login is accessing YouTube and put 2&2 together...? (That may be obvious to some...)
Anyway... I may try the user agent spoofing but this is really aggravating since I'm traveling right now and the internets in my hotel are $10/day.

Anyone figure out how to use netflix while spoofing in Firefox? I've been settling for Amazon Prime instant video, but I'd love to have Netflix back. With the UA spoof, Netflix won't play movies. At least I haven't figured out how.
This method no longer works for me
This must be more of a general topic, so i'm posting this here even though i've put it in the sg3 thread (dont hate me plz).
I need to limit the download speed when downloading stuff from the web with my favourite browser, cuz if i dont the internet connection will be all clogged up for the rest of my family. So i want to download slower. I have root. Anybody know any app that can limit all http download connections (just like it happens with torrent clients)?

Hope this is in the right section, if not I apologize.
So I just downloaded element 53 and proxy droid from google play, and found the post on xda on how to set it up to get around captive portal's. My question is, how do I make it so I have internet access to my other apps? Such as heywire texting, or facebook messenger? I couldn't find anything about this on xda or google or the developers website, but it DOES have an option for this on proxy droid. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find this info, or walk me through it a little bit? Thank you.

Hi Sinndiessension,
When you are running Proxydroid all the traffic goes through Proxydroid. Have you already read this post: XDA Thread of Element53. If you need any other help, don't mind to ask me. Quitting and restarting Facebook or Internet could solve the problem to.

Yes I've seen that link already. I followed the direction's in that link to set up element53 and proxy droid. The only website I can go to is "Bing.com" I can't go to google.com, when I try to send a message through facebook, or any texting app, they never send.
The logs on element53 say, "client connection from 127.0.0.1:35341, channel=44"
Then the next log is similar, "client connection from 127.0.0.1:35342, channel=45"
I know the proxy droid, and element53 has worked for a lot of people. And I followed your direction's thoroughly on that link to set them up, but for some reason no matter what I do, it will keep giving me those logs until there's a small pop up that says, "element53 reset" and it stops doing anything, or until my messages say sending failed. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.
Can you give me some screenshots of your logs? And what kind of network are you using and what are the results when you are using this app in your own wifi network?
