[Q] Couldn't log into Panera Wi-Fi

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?

I tried to find some more info or settings on my TF and couldn't find how to do this. Any help?
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.

android app that hide ip adress?

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

[GUIDE] How to bypass T-Mobile's tether block using Firefox

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?

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.
Sent from my Galaxy S 4G

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

Drony with NTML version 2 with hostname
Hi,
Drony works like a charm except in a special environment.
I connect to an environment where the ISA proxy is using NTLM autentication with username/password, Domain Name and .. hostname.
I guess that the current version of Drony in Play Store does not take into account a possible "hostname", ¿no?
SandroProxy does?
Thanks a lot for the great work.
Regards
NicBBB

You are right. You can not specify hostname at the moment in Drony or SandroProxy for ntlm auth.
So far you are the first one that need this. Your ISA proxy checks also hostname?
I can change that can be specified in preferences, but I will need you that you test if it works okey.

Any way without root to change the DNS for mobile data? And without a VPN?

Well, not at the phone level. You could, however, do it upstream from your phone. For example, you could create an access point at your house that assigns your own DNS server. Once you have that, setup your own DNS server create a zone for the domains you want, and enter your own records. Configure DNS forwarding for anything you don't provide resolution for.
