Please help - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what to call this in the subject line but there are certain site this happens to, not going to name them for privacy issues but let's just say there not illegal or perverted sites by any means. Anywho I go to these sites and no matter what the browser or what the user agent after time the device blocks them from me gaining access. The only fix I've found is a complete wipe and factory reset. I've tried just about everything else I can think of... Wiped cache, dalvik, tried different browsers... I'm running stock 4.1.2 rooted. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you installing any kind of firewall program? Droidwall for example. Maybe automatically from the account tied to your device?

Nope, but thanks for the reply.

You say after time does that mean you connect ok then some time later you lose access .
Is that via WiFi or Mobile Data .

I have that problem when connecting via wifi tether on my phone. I contacted my service provider and they say as my contract doesn't cover me for tethering it will be because I am trying to visit full Web pages instead mobile Web pages and so they limit my usage.

That makes sense in regard to the OP . Connect then connection closed .

Try installing Foxfi :
Create a WiFi Tether using Foxfi on your GN10
Connect a phone / a computer to your GN10 WiFi hotspot
Check connection, you should be properly connected to the Internet
Uninstall Foxfi
Now you should be connected for good

Sorry,I didn't notice.that your GN10 is a wifi version.
I tell you this method because I used to have similar problem but my GN10 is 3G+wifi version.
And I use my GN10 as a Hotspot.
After flashing ARHD 5.1 and up version the wifi tethering messed up.
I can connect to the GN10 wifi tethering but it wouldn't allow me to connect to most website...except google sites (google,youtube,etc..)
The method I told you fix the problem.
So, may be you can try installing foxfi on the phone that you use as a hotspot.

I have the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and the only time the hotspot will not share my internet connection is when I have 4G enabled. I thought maybe this was the case for you also.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I have an Ns4G also, does that to me also. Couple times I had to reboot phone cause after I would try to switch back to 3G and use the hotspot and it wouldn't connect. Don't know if it works when paying for hotspot from Sprint though.

If only it was that simple. In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. But I'm not trying to share my 4g connection. I want to use it to share the internet from my "home wifi router" the wireless adapter in my PC went out and I don't really have the money to spend for a new one this close to x-mas.

I'll sell you a USB one I used to use with my TiVo for $10 (b/g I believe), just PM me.
Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.

tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.
try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client
Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

If your actually looking for help you can start by giving some info for your phone. More than " its a motorola". List phone model, what software, if its rooted or not, are you running a custom rom, if your are what rom. These details are very important without them you will never get an answer.

my phone can make a ad hoc network just fine it only has problems making a wifi hotspot. it does not matter what teathing program you use. what does it matter what phone it is? but its a motorola electrify(rooted but it did the same thing stock). my firend has the same phone it does the same thing it makes a hotspot you connect it works for a few min then disconnects the phone says no 3g then after a few sec it reconnects. if you teather using ad hoc it works fine. i have connected the phone to a nook, ipad, ipod toch, and other android tablets always the same thing the only thing that works is ad hoc. so if i can not make the note connect to an ad hoc network i can not teather

Wireless Tether for Root Users

I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you

I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.

ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.

Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.

[Q] WiFi + LTE Hotspot??

I know I'm jumping the gun here. Because neither the download booster or the hotspot mod have been made for the galaxy S5 yet.
But I was wondering if this possibility is far fetched?? I do a lot of traveling and sometimes hotel wifi will not cut it.

I am far from an expert but I don't think the wifi could operate in AP mode and stil connect to another AP for extra d/l speed.

The reason I thought this would be possible was because of the MiMo(multi-input multi-output) capabilities of the S5. I know there are things that would pose an issue like not being able to be connected to WiFi while creating a hotspot.
But that's what the muti input side is for, taking in WiFi and LTE. It almost makes since to be able to send that combination speed out as hotspot.

It would be more like one ap with two aggregated backbone connections. Possible, yes. Doable on the phone, don't know but if the S5 still turns off wifi when you turn on hotshot that would be the trick.

So MiMo would theoretically allow the wifi chip to setup an AP and also be connected to seperate AP, and 3g/4g, to aggregate data? That would be awesome. I have tried bridging two wifi networks with one wifi card on desktops but have never been able to get more than one connection per wifi chip. Where AP mode would be its own connection.
:fingers crossed: maybe we can...

In theory I believe it should work. I could swear, I am 99% sure of this, that way back in the day you could wifi tether to your phone while it was connected to wifi. Might have been the S1 or S2. I am positive that worked because I remember testing the hotspot once and getting some crazy download speeds. This was when I only had 3G and could barely get 300k. And I was freaking out trying to figure out how it was going so fast. Then I realized the phone was connected to wifi:silly: So MiMo isn't needed for one singular stream. It's basically just doing incoming and outgoing traffic on the same feed. But adding in the LTE should work on MiMo. If LTE had it's own card, does it?, you shouldn't need MiMo either. You would just have to first get the aggregation working which I think somebody got it enabled right? And then disable the wifi from shutting off during hotspot. After that it would work without anything special.
Just wanted to give this thread a bump.
Has anyone heard anything about this idea working?
