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....
Addictive place to hang out at
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?

Thanks!
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.

I just discovered this program and the only thing I can say is "HOLY ****!" I'm amazed at this and freaking out a little right now, lol.
Anyone know how secure this is??

Not very. In fact, just from guessing your WebKey username from your XDA username, I'm on your phone right now.
On a side note, judging from the files in your download folder, you seem obsessed with goats and midgets. Scary.

Hahaha, I thought about using my XDA name but decided against it for obvious reasons.
In all seriousness though, do you have any idea?

Hi! I'm one of the developer of Webkey. The webserver uses a standard digest authentication, there is no security leak that I'm aware of. The digest method uses a hash function, which glues together the current time and your password. The browser sends over only this hashed mess (and not your password), which is only good for authentication for an hour.
If you use http method then the data is sent trough an unsecured connection, and it can be sniffed by those who has physical access to your connection. Unfortunately the https method is only available if you can directly connect to your phone, if you use our server (androidwebkey.com) to proxy the request, then you have to use http. We don't read and don't save your data, we only read the first line of the http request, which contains the phone's name that you want to connect to. The phones and the browsers are connected to our server, and it has to pair them, so it has to know the nickname from the browser's request. We are working on a solution which uses DNS subdomain (like yourname.androidwebkey.com), if this can be read from an encrypted https stream, then we will implement it, this way the connection will be entirely encrypted between your phone and your browser.
As you can see in the pic, whenever i attach my phone i get like 5 same entries :S
Can someone check if their phone does the same please
Edit:
This is on my routers webpage
nope, only once, but i do see a very interesting device name:
android_[16-hexadecimal-number]

That seems like a problem with your router. DHCP should never give out different IP addresses to one MAC address. Unless they are all different MAC addresses. I can't tell since you blacked them out for some reason

The MAC address's are all the same, i only blacked out the last 4 numbers in the, ya know, security and all xD
Yeah i know, but before i go messign around with it just wanted to see if anyone else is getting this.... static is not really an option for me because we have nwe people connecting literally every day
i hope someone can help me about my question
is there any android application that hide ip adress when browsing?
Like from the website you're connecting to and/or from a P2P network? Not really.

There is the Tor Client-- the Tor Browser, and the Tor Messenger (Gibber?)
The Tor Client can do it for all apps, if you are root- but you'd be wise to still use the tor browser strictly for your anon sessions.
And you had better read up on it from the website, although all three are available on Play--
Use OrBot... its kinda slow, the first time you set it up; especially when selecting the app you wish to set up the proxy with but just try it... it works well...
You need to adjust an any working proxy to hide your ip adress.. I think is the only way
You need a proxy....
but is a proxy possible with mobile network?
I just got a working free Hide my IP serial from: www.hidemyipserials.0fees.net
I tested the serial code and it works and now I can able to Hide my IP Address when I'm surfing the Internet!
Like @AndroidNeophyt said use orbot

I dont need a proxy that much sometimes some PBay but one is few months maybe

good choice
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?

They detect by sniffing packets an the extra Mac address

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
Hi, my school has 2 wifi's -one with password and one without-. I can connect to the one without but I can't google or anything. However, I've checked the school's laptops and they were all connected to that network and can access to the net without any problem. Any idea?
Is it a school where no phone are allowed. Or no phones allowed to be displayed/used

I know at my school after connecting to the network, you have to open your browser and it will redirect to a log in screen where you enter your username and password. Is that the case here?
Often, WIFI, while "open," will require you to agree to a TOS. Once you're connected, be sure to open your browser and try to go anywhere @ all. If you need to agree to a TOS, you'll be directed to that page, agree and then be allowed to access the Web from that point. Your apps will also have access after that.
You will likely find that if this is the case, your school's WIFI will occasionally kick you off to release the IP address you've been assigned. Again, just open the browser & go from there.
I work in a number of facilities that make use of this sort of log in tech. That'd be my 1st thought for yours as well.

No, it doesn't require you to log in and doesn't let you do anything. I tried some web pages and it shows up something ( I'll have a screen shot for that by tomorrow ).
