[Guide] By Pass T-Mobile Carrier Tethering (No Root) - Android General

Introduction​
You may skip this part if you are not interested on what I have found​
I am not sure will this guide work for other carriers. Let me know if it does.​
Hi everyone,
I just moved to US for almost two months. The first thing I found out was carriers here doesn't give FREE tethering.
I chose T-Mobile because the plan is cheap enough for a college student like me. I am using $30 T-Mobile prepaid plan (100 min talks, Unlimited Text & 5GB Data)
At first, tethering works on my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (GSM Version). But after my friend loaded a Youtube video, I received the following message.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

I started to Google this issue. Searched all over XDA but non of them actually works for my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (Maybe it is GSM or it is just not supported. Clockwormod tether isn't working for my device too). I found out that tether works for Linux but Windows (I have Linux run on top of my Windows desktop, AKA VM) [i.e. Basically tethering works for those programs in windows that require internet, but not browsers such as Chrome, IE, or Firefox]. I continued to do my research and I found something interesting.
T-Mobile tracks your browser agent and prevent you from using tether (for windows). So I found a way to change chrome user agent easily to bypass the tethering by changing your desktop chrome agent to Android. Steps by steps instructions available below.
Instructions​​Requirements:
Working Android phone with tethering option (wireless or wired)
Google Chrome for Windows/ Chromium for Windows. [More information on Chromium: HERE, Download Chromium: HERE
Step-by-step guide:
Install Google Chrome OR Chromium (if you dont have it)
Download the file "User-Agent-Switcher-for-Chrome_v1.0.26.zip" attached in the attachment section
Extract it and you will get "User-Agent-Switcher-for-Chrome_v1.0.26.crx"
Launch Google Chrome/ Chromium
Type this "chrome://extensions/" to your address bar and press enter
Drag and Add "User-Agent-Switcher-for-Chrome_v1.0.26.crx" into the Extensions setting tab as shown in the picture below
After you have successfully added the extension, you will get an option on your Google Chrome / Chromium as shown in the picture below.
Select Android > Nexus 7 4.1.2
Start your Wireless or Wired tethering and connect it to your phone
You're done!
Enjoy surfing the Internet on your T-Mobile Wireless Hotspot! Remember to switch back to default after you've done using your tethering.
Let me know what you think. Leave me a comment. Rate it and share it if you love what I have made.
NOTE: I have chromium.zip (portable Google Chrome browser in zip) extension file in my Android phone all the time. I can access Google
Chrome by extracting it and install the extension anytime to by pass the wireless tether. Found it useful to have these files in my phone.
Thanks in advance,
From Melvin Ch'ng

Tablets W/SIM card add On and General ?s W/Tablets

Ok so my ?s are what tablest can have the add on to use you sim card? I seen a table adams notion ( something like that) that was able to use a 3g USB modem. Has any one tried that, and how is it?
I know the Black Berry has that option about adding the bridge which is like a tethering. But could you just use any table that has a usb port and get a 3g usb modem to put your sim card into and use the data of that.

What about adding VOIP? to tablets and how hard it is to add if you can, Over all how could you really use your tablet to make and receive calls?. Besides using skype, and whats good for conference calling/ meeting app:
Now for tethering, So lets say I buy the galaxy 10.1 (wifi) and I want to @ least have the option to tether what is the easy way going about it? IE: I have a rooted htc inspire which will allow me to tether. But if someone does not have a rooted phone what other way other then Hotspots that they can use, or can the use their mobile air card thats usb IF their tablet has USB slot, and if supports the drive to be installed? But also what if they had an Iphone and a android tablet they can still use tether does not matter iphone or not?.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 any way to add more memory I have been looking and I know its still new but is their something that its an "adapter" to use for the micro sd card.
Also on that not lets say you have a Android tablet and you have Google TV, now I know the google tv has android market and you can transfer apps and etc etc.. Can you use the tablet to control like direct tv I seen the app for it but for tablet usage. And has any you use the google tv and how do you like it what can you do with the market place, I know you can buy apps and send it to you phone and it should work the same way with tablets, Correct me if Im wrong lol.. Just looking for other Info on the use of Googel TV and using tablets.
I know Samsung All share (http://www.samsung.com/global/allshare/pcsw/index.html) works nice what I heard. But its limited to samsung products. Has anyone used that before and how is it.
Thanks for any info, and thanks for sharing ideas .
Mods can we move this to the general tablet area.

[App] WellFTP - Easy wireless PC connection [App]

Well FTP app (free fom the play store)
Ever had a data cable connection fail on you?
Had to fork out for a repair.... Nope.... me neither.
That's because I use an awesome app from the play store to
transfer files between PC/mac and phone via my router.
I know as an avid flasher that constant plugging and unplugging takes its toll
on the microUSB port on the phone which you cant ignore.
After all, its the only way to charge.
You need 2 free components and your router to get this working and
after 2 mins setting it up, it takes seconds to use.
You need WellFTP app available free from the Google Play store.
You also need a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program.
A popular, easy to use and even better, Freeware FTP is Filezilla.
Install the downloaded filezilla.exe ready to use on your pc/mac.
Assuming you have the WellFTP app on your phone and Filezilla
installed on your pc with a wireless connection via your router:
(1) Activate the app on your phone. It should show the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(2) Run the Filezilla program on your PC/mac. At the very top left click File>Site Manager
(3) Click New Site and name the device (mine is HTC One X):
(4) Now enter the ftp server address from your phone screen (eg 192.###.1.76) into the General tab, Host box.
Then type the port number (thats the last 4 digits on the app server address, in my example its 2121) into the Port box.
Press OK.
(5) Select the Site Manager button (directly below the File button) on the Filezilla program.
On the dropdown select your device.
(6) This should activate the server and connect to your phone.
A list of the sd card contents will appear in the listbox on the
right side of the screen and your pc files will show on the left.
(7) You are now connected and can either drag and drop files to/from the phone
contents using the browser windows or straight from your desktop. You will see
the transfer details in the bottom window with eta's etc.
Next time you want to connect your phone via the wifi connection, activate the WellFTP app
on the phone and the filezilla program on your PC.
Select the device from the server dropdown as per setup and it will quickly show the phone files.
Drag and drop till your hearts content.
This isnt new.... its not ground breaking but if it means our phones last a bit longer and
we don't need to return to stock for un-nescessary warranty work its well worth using.
I use this daily for web design etc and so far have had no issues whatsoever.
I am not however responsible if something happens to your phone, your pc or whatever.
Use this software/app at your own risk.​
mine!
look well.

screen mirroring

I am mainly interested in this app for the purpose of screen mirroring. I use the Torque app while in my vehicle, which also has a touchscreen Windows 8 computer. I am searching for an effective solution to mirror the screen. Since this will be used while traveling I will have to use the phone WIFI tether to enable the connection.
Does Airdroid offer a USB tether option? It would be great to have this. My monitor only has a VGA connection. If it had an HDMI connection I could just plug in a cable from the phone but it does not. I am not really worried about the FPS rate as I am not watching videos from the phone, and the lag isn't really an issue either....
Thanks
I've moved your post to this new thread.
AirDroid does offer USB tether option, just follow these steps:
1) Connect your Android to your computer with a USB cable.

}
2) Enable USB tethering. The detailed steps may vary for different devices, but should be similar: Go to Settings> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> MORE> Tethering & portable hotspot and check the box next to USB tethering.
3) Open AirDroid on your device, go to Tools tab, and press Tethering. A new AirDroid url like “http://192.168.42.129:8888” will be displayed.
4) Visit the full url above on your computer web browser to start using AirDroid.
You can find it in our help center http://help.airdroid.com/customer/portal/articles/1296187-how-to-use-airdroid-without-wi-fi-or-other-network-connection
If you don't care about fps, then TeamViewer might be what you are looking for. They offer screen mirroring, but it is really laggy and way to slow to play game on, but for torque it might do the trick
Message has been Baconized
Teamviewer will be a functional solution as a base, but I would wonder if the interface will be sufficient. It's gesture controlled with a mouse-style format. If you need to interact you may well find it difficult to drive and control the unit and maintain the focus necessary to drive safely.
I don't know enough about Torque or your specific needs in regard to it to make a good assessment but do try it as Gormsen suggested and please post back some thoughts and/or details so others in your situation or similar have some info to go on. I would imagine as someone thinking about implementing your type of setup having some input before dropping significant cash on it would be tremendously helpful
Good luck..

[Q] VNC server for the OPO?

Hi,
Has someone got some kind of VNC server to work on the OPO?
I have tried a lot of apps, the best result that I got was this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The connection is working, though: I can interact with the screen, but that's what it looks like...
What I'm actually looking for is a way to stream the screen of my OPO to my tablet or to my PC, since that'd be a great way to see what's on the screen when I use my phone to record videos on a tripod, for example. To be clear, I'd like to get the same result that Adam Outler has in this video (minute 9:15), using my tablet instead of his M8 and the OPO instead of the Galaxy NX.
The problem seems to be the server on the OnePlus One, since it almost works the other way around (the OPO, as client, can connect to the tablet, used as server, even though the screen is upside down and I can't see what's in the camera). Connections from the Android devices to the PC work fine. The results that I got while trying to connect to the OPO are consistent between my PC (running ArchLinux with KDE, so I'm using the KDE desktop sharing applications) and my tablet (with VNC viewer).
The apps that I've tried to get a server going are:
- droid VNC Server
- VNC server by Onecent (Adam Outler's choice)
- VMLite VNC server (this one was reported to be working by some swedish user on some swedish site, but I got to the same result as the other two: the screenshot above)
- Reverse VNC Server
I got to the same results with the first three ones (connection established, commands work, but no screen), while I had more issues with the last one, but that could've very well been my fault, since I don't quite get how it's supposed to work.
Thanks for the help!
PS: Probably irrelevant, but my setups are:
- OPO running the latest PA with Franco Kernel
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with custom ROM based on stock Android 4.4.2 & TW
- PC with ArchLinux and KDE applications, both as server and client, they seem to work (at least the client) when trying to connect between PC's
PPS: My wifi and my internet connection both suck, if that can be relevant to something else besides the latency between client and server, which doesn't worry me too much.
Edit: Alternative for viewing the screen remotely from a PC: https://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Not very usable, I don't know if it's better than nothing...

[CLOSED][APP][Need-Help][6] VPN-Server with "Servers Ultimate Pro" - how to configure?

Hi!
The APP Servers Ultimate Pro is runs perfectly on a Samsung smartphone with Android 6. (alternative free version = Servers Ultimate )
Many servers are integrated there. You may have to install extensions. I have already got some servers up and running.
Actually not a bad thing.
Now I want to try whether a VPN server is possible with it! If so, it would be very cool! I need help with the setting!
1.) The server app also needs a "server.conf" or "server.ovpn" = in which directory does it have to be for the app?
2.) I need help with the correct structure of the Conf and how exactly to address the certificates.
3.) How many ports do I have to activate in the router and can I freely choose them?
Was unnecessary!
PLZ close / delet thread
I've been struggling with some of the configurations. I have the web server up and running with Wordpress. FTP works, IRC runs but I can't seem to get myself admin (OP) status. Email, I can't get it to connect, even with the extended ports above 1024. GIT server works, that's where I'm storing the source for my web site, the using FTP to place it in the www directory for the web server. I'm using the DNS on my HAMMESH network to point everything to the Android TV box that the Server apps are running on.
My goal is to have an Android TV box, that I can plug in to an ARDEN Network to provide a Website, local email, chat, storage sharing for disaster photos. Email is the only thing I can't get around. I also have a Le Potato Arm64 board that has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, running ISP Config. That is my plan B. I may be better off with this route since it supports a 256GB MicroSSD card. I found an X88 TV box on Amazon that has 4GB and 32GB for $40 US, that may be plan C is I can get the email sorted out. I've tested the connection with Telnet ip_address>2525 and getting the connection refused. If I use the tools inside Servers Ultimate Pro, it talks to the email server, If I issue the EHLO command, it responds. So it appears the email server app may not actually be opening the 2525 port like it's configured to. I may try the proxy server, to see it that can route the traffic to the backplane on port 25
I'm testing against my M88 TV box and I can now test the email
