Hi
Is anyone else facing this problem. I was able to access this forum before via normal web browser. But from a few days back I just am not able to open this forum. It just doesn't open. So I used a proxy free website and was able to open this forum webpage. Am using my internet from home. Using via a proxy website I am not able to use the post buttons like attachments and insert link.
Anybody else is facing the same problem where the web page is only opening via proxy webpage?

May i asked if i has may be blocked in your country?
I am pretty sure that it is not blcoked in my country. Also I had been accessing this forum for last few months without using proxy, only from this month it's not allowing me to access this forum. In the beginning I assumed maybe xda-developers site was down. But than yesterday when I used a proxy and I managed to access the forum, I realized that somehow I am getting blocked from using this forum without using proxy webpages.

Yeah most probably that must be the reason. As when I was using Win7 I was not able to access this forum, but than I rebooted my laptop into my secondary OS (WinXP) and there is no problem. I am able to access this forum without proxy website. So as you aptly said , maybe there is a virus. Will have to reload a previous backed up image and see if it works.
Thanks for your advice.

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?

They detect by sniffing packets an the extra Mac address

Damn, AT&T is on point. Bastards.
I hate T-Mobile for pulling that move as well.

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.

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
When on xda-developers website: anytime I've had a link on the website which required me to go to Multiupload to get a file to download, I am always redirected to this website, lnx.lu & I can't get the file I wanted. This VERY aggravating!!!! Is this just me or are others experiencing this also?
lnx.lu is a site forwarder. It's like go.to/blah, or tinyurl.com/blah, except that you also get money the more people click on your link. The site probably requires javascript enabled to function. Also, some mobile browsesrs don't like these forwarding sites, and will throw an error. Worse come to worst, find a direct link to the file, or just search the internet for the file name.

You're probably correct, but I have noticed this result using more than one link on xda-developers, in fact there were quite a few. Also, I have used many links before, even ones that now guide me to this page. It makes me think that 1) I have something wrong w/my PC or 2) the site has been compromised (HIGHL UNLIKELY).
& oh, BTW, this happened using my desktop, not a mobile browser.
Hi, my school has 2 wifi's -one with password and one without-. I can connect to the one without but I can't google or anything. However, I've checked the school's laptops and they were all connected to that network and can access to the net without any problem. Any idea?
Is it a school where no phone are allowed. Or no phones allowed to be displayed/used

I know at my school after connecting to the network, you have to open your browser and it will redirect to a log in screen where you enter your username and password. Is that the case here?
Often, WIFI, while "open," will require you to agree to a TOS. Once you're connected, be sure to open your browser and try to go anywhere @ all. If you need to agree to a TOS, you'll be directed to that page, agree and then be allowed to access the Web from that point. Your apps will also have access after that.
You will likely find that if this is the case, your school's WIFI will occasionally kick you off to release the IP address you've been assigned. Again, just open the browser & go from there.
I work in a number of facilities that make use of this sort of log in tech. That'd be my 1st thought for yours as well.

I've had good luck with a free app called Wifi Fixer (available on the app market). Hope that helps.

No, it doesn't require you to log in and doesn't let you do anything. I tried some web pages and it shows up something ( I'll have a screen shot for that by tomorrow ).
I start orbot to log onto tor network.. Logs me onto the Tor network, but it refuses to resolve any .onions. Same thing is happening on my nexus7... Im usin cw11 nightly... I know im on tor cause I check to see what my ip is...... but getting to the deep web I get an error:
WARN: Resolve requests to hidden services not allowed.
Failing
Every other site can work... Did I screw up a hosts file or something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Just want to say I have the exact same problem. Not with Firefox, not with orbot, I can connect tor fine (check.torproject.org says I'm connected), but I can't open any .onion site. It says "name not resolved, or something...

Soo.... no one else has been having issues?
I know tis is a bit older post but the problem is still there. I have the same problem with my android 5.0.2 (Lolipop) phone and Orbot. If i check IP its a tor IP. I can reach all normal sites but no onion sites. I searched and searched and tested all kind of Firefox settings suggested but no go. What is going on? Because of this i can't trust Orbot not that i'm planning to do illegal stuff i just want to explorer stuff but if people really need a safe way to go online i wouldn't trust my live on Orbot.

Are you sure the onion sites are up, and you are typing the url correctly?

The Registration process on Needrom.com is not working for me (No password sent to me to get into the site, which also stops you contacting them to let them know of your problem!), anyone else finding that?
Thanks

How do you expect anyone here to do anything about it. XDA is not and does not associate with needrom, it is not even allowed to post links here from needrom. That's something you'll have to take up with them. Try using a different PC or device to register there then contact them about the issue.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
To help others, if they pick up this thread, I have found that if you register on needrom using Microsoft Edge, whilst it appears to complete, you do not get the email enabling your account. If you use another browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox etc) it works fine.
I cannot explain why.

I would be careful. That site is not trusted and has been known to include malware in the roms they post.
