Hi I would like to make my phone anonymous when i connect to wifi. I would like to use internet in my work but i dont want anyone to know who is this. I also would like to use utorrent on android. So when I connect to my wifi hotspot at home I have all informations about my phone, like name (HTC), some numbers etc. There is also possible to gain for example my google account name? Or more informations? How to make phone complete anonymous? For example that administrator of the network will think that i use computer.
really no one? :/
It's not that there is no answer, but by the question it looks like you won't understand the answers to your question even if given them. If I tell you that you can change your hostname, but it won't help you since if any sysadmin will want to know who you are - he'll easily track you by your MAC address, will you know what I'm talking about?
So, the answer is - no, if sysadmin wants to know who you are - you can't hide, he can just know your MAC and physically check all devices until he finds the one, or just blacklists it and you won't have access anymore. But there is no "informations about your phone" that anyone sees, besides what the phone is broadcasting as a part of various network protocols (like hostname).
Yes i know what are you talking about. So he can see only my hostname and MAC address? For example when I use conectify software the program see me like a HTC and there is also a logo of HTC. So i understand that by MAC address he can not know what device it is? Maybe only the wireless card manufacturer. I only do not want that he will know that this device is a phone.

I think there's a solution: pDroid.

MAC address discloses device manufacturer. You can for example look this up on a site like this: http://hwaddress.com/
So it would be safe to clone a PC MAC address if possible.
There is chance to change MAC address in HTC?
I dont know if pdroid is what i need but however it works only with CM10, am I right?
PDroid doesn't help at all. It blocks data from applications, it doesn't and can't do a thing with low level OS drivers.
You can most likely spoof a MAC address, if you dig deep - you'll probably find a way to do it. But again, it won't help you. If your sysadmin will be determined to find you - he will find you, and if he's not - you can just use the phone "as is".

Hi there
I was wondering if there's a way to emulate another mac address instead of using the default mac of the NIC integrated in the TP. Tried finding sth in my TP's registry and also googled up with no success.
Any suggestion?

Sorry for being nosy, but WHY do you want to do this? I can't come up with one good reason to do it. And I am not trying to flame you either.
My university's wlan filters devices by mac address, and I can register only one device to the network. This means no wifi on my TP but only on my PC, unless I register to the network with my TP data and emulate it's mac address on my PC .

Oh ok. Makes sense hehehe.
Try a different ROM and then try those tweaks? Maybe that works.
Hey everyone, hope I got the right thread here.
I am looking at doing an app that will scan the LAN that I am connected to, find all hardware that starts with a specific MAC and then return the list of matching devices to me. I have been reading a lot that you natively (unrooted or modified) Android cannot perform and ARP scan of a LAN? Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, how to get around that? Its obviously possible as there are other apps such as Fing and ANTI that do it now.
Any help or insight into this would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Help please!!!
I've been looking everywhere and can't find how to Sync my Ps3 controller with my Htc evo lte.
I know its real simple right. Well if you have a PC it sure is. I'm trying to sync mine with a Mac. I googled everywhere and no on seems to have come across this topic. Please someone help me. So far I have both apps to check compatible and the actual app. On my Mac I have the libusb file and sixpair. My terminal is setup directing me to the root of the folder that these files are in. Well saying that much I don't know whats next. How do I actually change the MAC address from my Ps3 controller to match the one of my Phones Mac address. Thanks much appreciated.

please elaborate steps 4 to 9.
You sir are brilliant lol... or more like I'm dumb I completely forgot about just using VPN with this even though it's setup already *facepalm*
I already bought splashtop, the company is full of deceptive liars. I would love to get this working on my andoid device. Has anyone actually got this to work. Are they blocking this?
Great guide. Thanks! :good:
Huh? I play FEAR, Skyrim and Anno 1404 over Splashtop THD every day in the train, never noticed anything about additional payments
Edit: Oh. Right. No, forget I said anything. I momentarily forgot where I got Splashtop from... :silly:
So I followed your tutorial and getting PPTP VPN is A PAIN IN THE ASS. Aside from that I got it working. I am having another issue that maybe you can help me out with. On my galaxy nexus, I connect to the VPN over my 4g LTE connection on my phone. Once I connect to my VPN and log into Splashtop 2, I can't reach splashtop servers. Do any of you guys have this same problem?
Am I missing something?
I am out of ideas why I can't connect to my Windows 7 vpn host from my iphone 4 running on ios6.1.2. I've doubled checked my settings and open ports, but I can't seem to get my iphone to connect to my vpn.
I can; however, connect if I am connected to my network AND using my local ip address. But, I cannot connect using my external address while being connected to the same network or 3G.
Port 1723 tcp is forwarded and I have verify it by checking with an online port checker. Can someone suggest what else I need to check or enable? I have also tried disabling windows firewall and my virus program to no available.
?
Im sorry if i sound stupid but i really don't understand the tutorial. Is it possible that you can make a video tutorial? It does not matter to me if the quality is not that great but i just really need a video or at least some pictures to guide me....
I neeed help
what do you put for the server ip
Anything that bypasses paid features of an app or program is considered warez on XDA. This one slipped through the cracks.... But now it's closed.

Hi guys,
I have been blocked from a forum called whirlpool. The mods on there are ridiculous. If anyone has used the site they know what i'm talking about.
The only way I was able to create a new account and go undetected was when i bought a new phone (galaxy s8+) and have used the account fine, using vpn's , new browsers , wiping the phone didn't etc didn't work which leads me to believe they are using device id's to detect banned users.which i think is extremely wrong as they make no mention of this in their ToS. however after a thousand posts on whirlpool i decided to blow my own cover and tell the mods i know they are tracking people. Now my account is banned again.
I have since decided to use magisk and twrp and used "Device ID changer" and "change my mac" yet they still detected me as me.
What possible method could they be using to stil be able to detect me?
After using "device id changer" i notice my android device id is changed but my "hardware serial" is still the same. Could that be it? If so, is there a way to change my hardware serial number?
Thanks for any help.
