[Q] S3 S-voice, Port forwarding, PFsense - General Questions and Answers

1st Post and will need to excuse me a bit as I'm dyslexic.
I am trying to use s-voice over WiFi at home.
The internet connection is fine.
Google voice works fine.
It all works fine over 3g and other WiFi connections.
but on my home WiFi I get network error. "only with S-Voice"
The only think i can think of, is that I am using a PFsense box and it is blocking that traffic.
So my question is does anyone know what ports S-Voice uses.

No internet via wifi?

Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security

[Q] VPN connectivity in wm6.5

Hi there,
I have never been able to understand the difference between My ISP and My Work Network. So, I just deleted MyISP. In My Work Network, I have the GPRS connection and it works perfectly fine. If I connect to activesync, I can use internet. Good.
The problem comes when I want to connect to VPN. I make a new VPN connction, I click on it and click/tap connect. it connects GPRS but the vpn doesnt seem to get connected. And every tap will just give the option of CONNECT which basically means that its not getting connected.
Quetsions:
1. What is wrong with my setup?
2. How can I verify that im connected with VPN or not?
p.s: the vpn is managed by a friend of mine, right now its on L2TP and if any changes are required in the settings. it can be changed.
Im using wm6.5 , hd mini.

[Q] Internet Pass-Through for non Sense ROMs?

Any developers out there know if it it possible to port the Internet Pass-Through feature [aka Reverse Tethering] of Sense ROMs to AOSP ROMs?
There is a thread here which talks about in length but it is not a simple or trouble-free process.
If HTC can do it, surely it can't be that hard! I would love to be able to move to an AOSP ROM on my One S but cannot go without the Pass-through feature.
I'm curious about how you got pass through to work? Hasn't worked for me yet because the drivers never install when I plug my phone in. And, if it did actually work, does your phone use it like WiFi so WiFi calling works? That'd be what I need it for most.

We don't have Wifi calling on the EU phone, but then we are rarely out of range of a cell.
To get Pass-through to work, it is just a matter of connecting the phone via usb to a computer and selecting Internet pass-through from the pop-up dialogue box
BUT:
There are issues with certain firewalls. When I got the phone I was using Bullguard Internet Security on my laptop and I could not get internet pass-through to work via the firewall (it worked fine if I disabled Bullguard). I spent about 3 hours online with a Bullguard technician who was unable to solve the problem.
I have since removed Bullguard and installed Microsoft Internet Security Essentials. There are no firewall problems with MISE.
You must have the latest version of HTC sync installed for Pass-through to work.
Internet Pass-through allows the phone to connect to the internet via your PC's internet connection. I use it a lot because I spend a lot of time in hotels all around Europe. When I am out of the UK I do not use roaming data (too expensive) but I always have internet in my hotel room. This is either a wired connection, or (more often) it is a WiFi connection for a single device only. I use the hotel connection for my laptop and the pass-through connection for my phone.
I am not sure if this setup would give you WiFi calling as I am not really sure how that works (does the phone differentiate between a WiFi connection and a wired connection)? It would allow you to use Skype or another VOIP service to make calls.

I agree that it would be cool if devs could port this to other roms.
Just on the off chance someone might get some use from it, here's what I do. If you're travelling with a laptop and your hotel has Ethernet, it's really easy to set your laptop to broadcast an adhoc network to share with your phone.
I know it doesn't help with hotels that only have WiFi for one device, but with places that have Ethernet and WiFi, I find that tethering to my own laptop gets me a much better connection, and it means I don't have to lug around my router.
Sorry for the OT, back to the discussion

Using built-in VPN on AT&T (LTE & HSPA)

Has anyone been successful using the VPN function on AT&T's LTE network? I can connect successfully but no web pages will display and it's as if I have no internet connection. Using the same VPN while on HSPA or WiFi seems to work fine, so it leads me to believe it's a problem with AT&T's network.
On a side note, does anyone know if tethered connections also route through the VPN connection on the phone?...and if so, would it hide the tethering from being detected by AT&T?

Not sure if your problem is the same as my. But when I connect to my work vpn, i think it routed all my phone's data to the work vpn connection.
anyone knows how to separate the two?
I want work lync on vpn and others remain using my carrier 3g connection.l

Not quite the same issue, but I'll take a stab at answering your question. That is exactly how VPN was designed to work. If you connect to your work's VPN, everything on your phone will route all of your data through that VPN. It's done at the system level, not application level.

[Q] VPN on Mobile Data

Has anyone been able to get a VPN (PPTP, L2TP, or OpenVPN) to work while connected Verizon 3G or LTE? I have a work VPN and Private Internet Access and both exhibit the same issues. They will connect, work for a bit of data transfer, and then drop. The drops are caused by the mobile data connection resetting (icon will be grayed out before becoming solid white again). VPN works completely fine on Wifi though.

I have been trying to get the this ironed out as well. Have you tried the client "OpenVPN for Android"? and I'm using a TCP port instead of UDP. My other thought has been it seems like the connection resets more often while I'm mobile. I my location doesn't change I have greater up time.

I have tried that one and the OpenVPN stock app, VPNRoot, and the stock android client. All have the same problem. I don't get drops ever on WiFi, only on mobile.
I have also tried some other things like mssfix and setting a lower MTU, but neither have worked so far.
