Woke up this morning and switched from WIFI to my normal Simple Mobile account just before leaving the house for work. All of a sudden I cannot get online, I can use the FB ap, Gmail, Maps, but when I open either Dolphin, or Browser, I get the following error:
COMVERSE (name of the tab)
internal error access is not allowed for this user agent in www.google.com/
Happens for any web site.
Must be service provider problem....
Hmm, ok. I'll give them a call later on. Thanks.

It's fine, i'll figure out the browser problems later. I see that a few people have the CM9 beta ROM for their G2X's, where is the ROM downloaded at? I can't find anything in the development page.
It's in the general section.....Search in the ICS threads over here cuz I am not allowed to repost the link...

Thats cool, just got this one...is it the same for you? "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-selfKANG1-G2x-signed.zip"
yeah....but the gapps are somewhere on rootwiki with face unlock thing !!
To get browser to work in CM9 with mobile data you have to press menu and select request desktop site.
You welcome! It has something to do with the internal settings of the stock browser. Also an alternative to this is to download an alternate browser such as dolfin browser or opera

So i'm looking for the Android 4.0 google ap pack, right? I hope simple mobile will work with 4.0, not sure why it wouldnt...but I guess I will find out!
I also found the camera fix for 4.0, so once i find the google aps, i'm ready to flash a little later on.
I think i just found them, recommends me a specific .apk for CM9. downloading now.
thanks for the help!

This isn't a SERVICE issue. It's your phone.
I used to have the same thing on another phone running CM7.
It's because your user agent in android is f'ked up.
Try this:
MORE -> Settings -> scoll all the way down to "Select User Agent"
Try other user agent setting other than Android, and you should connect.
Try IE6, iphone, etc...
The only fix is to install a correct user agent for android.
I've been searching all over for a fix to: "access is not allowed for this user agent." My stock browser has no settings to change user agent. Switching to iphone user agent was a workaround in the Dolphin browser settings, BUT...
With great joy I have discovered that problem was my Proxy entry in my Simple Mobile APN. Once I removed the proxy info, the user agent problem was solved!
Strange, because a few months ago the proxy was what I needed to connect, but now it was just causing problems.
I should look at dates on old posts more often.... delete this.

Android does not use hostnames, everything uses localhost.
If you have a real requirement for a hostname you can use an alias in the /system/etc/hosts file after the localhost entry. Though most if not all android app are made to work with localhost.
If you are say running an ssh server you would just need your IP address to get to it externally. This will work with any service including something like air droid.

You can't delete that file. The next time you boot, you may end up in a bootloop. If you are having issues then you probably used some sort of ad block software, they usually have a way to put your hosts file back to stock in the app you used. I use ad away and it edits the hosts file to block ads, but I can put it back to stock from there as well.

Well, then you are getting assigned an external hostname from your cell provider, they do that. I have the same issue with IRC when using my phones. IRC has a way for mobile users to connect over sts though. I would explain, to that site admin, that you connect from a mobile phone and that your hostname is being sent from your mobile provider. And that you can't control that. I can't tell you how to find the hostname they assign, easily, other than asking your cell provider, I had to get mine from ATT, and it was a pia since it is a dhcp hostname and changes with your cellular IP.

Can't they just use your mac address? It's not going to change (unless you spoof it), and it's an easy way to identify hosts.

Yes, you can.. but you probably wanna do it on your computer - root explorer will truncate it and cut off a lot..
Or you can clean it out entirely, and then use an ad blocking app to enable/disable. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34498720&postcount=253

You can edit the host file as you see fit, but blatantly removing it obviously can cause problems because it's a go to file for DNS lookups, and DNS is integral to network operation . If you want to block a site you set the url to point to the local host or more specifically your loopback interface 127.0.0.1
You can remove ad.fly if you want because if the address isn't defined in the host file, your browser, app, whatever is doing the lookup will try your connection's DNS server next. If you wanted to prank someone, you could for example set google.com to redirect to anything you wanted by adding the entry in the host file.

Be careful what you tell people, please, do a little research before answering someones question, if you don't really know for sure.
The hosts file has NOTHING to do with DNS lookups, it is a local hostname file, and is used instead of and before (if setup that way) DNS is used. DNS is handled by the resolv.conf file and tells the os who your DNS server is, there is also another file that tells the os the order in which you perform EVERY lookup (usually that is the nsswitch.conf file).
Here is a wikipedia description of what a hosts file actually does, it is a pretty accurate description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)
As for the ad blocks, they are using full DNS names to resolve hosts back to the local loopback address which is the black hole of networking in an os (that is because it will send any request back to itself and put it in a null space, since there is no web-server running on the phone or localhost). The DNS search order on an android phone is hosts file, then DNS, that is why the ad block works as it does.
The ad blocking used in scv7 is from a plugin in the ROM kitchen, that does the same thing that ad away does. You can remove the line, but you would be best to remove all but the localhost line at the top. As alteredlikeness mentioned it is best to edit it through adb. Completely removing the file is a bad idea though.
Dns requests will look for remote hosts ip's from host/s file (1st phase). If remote distenation (normal case) is not in hosts file,then the DNS client (in this mobile) will try to resolve it via the distensions lookup table file (2nd phase)
So, by default, the internal loopback 127.0.0.1 is in hosts file,if you added xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as *.yahoo.com in hosts, the client will connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx directly if you requested www.yahoo.com (without trying to look to distensions or to ask DNS servers)
You can trace ad blocking app action (replacing the hosts file with addresses of ads servers and redirect them to 127.0.0.1

What good is that going to do using google dns servers? He is getting a hostname from his cell provider that is conflicting with one that a site that he frequents, has blocked. changing his DNS servers will do nothing to help that. And to the person who asked about the whole deleting the hosts file, this also does no good. Technically this would be a great solution for someone having issues resolving things, but no one in this thread is.

Again you are the one who does not understand. the hosts file has NOTHING to do with DNS!!!!
A hosts file is a local resolution and happens BEFORE dns is ever called. I do this for a living!!!
take a look at the wiki I posted, and I quote from my above statement:

It just helps to explain information in simple most of the time correct terms to people, that may not fully understand. It listed it out, very closely to how I explained it. I have been in the UNIX/Linux computer world for 20 years. I have been doing networking and designing systems for a very long time.
UNIX and linux servers and hosts files existed before DNS existed, so DNS is a whole separate thing from the hosts file resolution.
If you do not like wiki, then here is another link that explains it as I have also said it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/hosts-files-explained/
If that was meant as a slap, I just have to laugh! But again, I see it too many times that people think they know, but they are only 80% correct most of the time, if you do not know and can not show your work, don't post it. Sounds like you have something to prove here, so go ahead and school me!
Well this thread got a little lively...
I'll ask about the MAC address. Otherwise, I'll just deal with it when I'm on the go. At least for now...the "ban" is lifted on the 14th, so we'll see what happens then.

Checked all that - I'm using the script from my ITS depts. My experience with Eduroam is uneven. On my Uni's older network I can access Eduroam easily. I also had no problem accessing it at UCL on Saturday. But where my Uni has 'upgraded' their network, which is across most of the campus, I only get 'limited connection.' Same set up in each case. It maybe a driver issue, as has been observed in other places, but it maybe network related...
Now it´s works
Hey people,
I recently had a conversation with one of my IT friends and he had the solution. He said he was there to repair the network works sometimes. Anyway, he told me that the eudoram has some restriction on it , as soon as you take longer than 20 sec to login , you´re out and have to try again. It is in some way an international Eduroam rule so it might be at your place the same.
I hope this helps you.

Had the same problem with manual configuration, installing certificates, setting network profile and still it worked once for 20 times. So I went here : https://cat.eduroam.org/ . Clicked "eduroam user: download your eduroam installer" at the bottom and chose my university. Choosing proper Uni is essential, as these certs work only with certain school. Then installed it (no configuration, no unnecessary malware thanks god) and suddenly my login works like a charm. I suggest you give it a try.
Now that we have a root method via the weaksauce exploit, has anyone found a way to tether via WiFi on an unlimited data plan?
I haven't yet pulled the trigger on an M8. WiFi tether is a make or break for me.

WORKING METHOD #1 -- FULL HOTSPOT
Tethering App:
WiFi Tether router
Setup Steps:
1. Install WeakSauce root
2. Install Wi-Fi Tether Router
3. Launce Wi-Fi Tether Router with the following settings:
SSID=<user selected>
ecryption type=wp2-psk
WIFI Password=<user selected>
wifi channel = 11
interface=kept it at 'wlan0
method=hostapd
Known Issues:
This tool supports both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure (Master) mode. Be sure to set to Master for best performance.

Thanks, but I was more asking for a way to enable it without paying. I don't use it often enough to justify $30 a month, but when I need it, I REALLY need it.
To be clear, if I used it daily, or even weekly, I would happily pay. My use averages 3-4 times a year while business traveling where WiFi is sketchy or non-existant.

the tethering is blocked via a system setting. the settings are stored in sqlite databases.
can someone use the root sql view below to search for the setting?
acc to the link i posted, it is in Settings Storage, file "settings.db", table 'global', under the value name tether_dun_required
i just looked though my galaxy nexus (4.4.2) but i couldn't find it... possibly because i have a custom rom installed. the link says that this setting is used in stock android to block the carrier tether.
if it exists on the m8, then we can modify it.

Completely not a dev, and not one that usually gets into this stuff, but since I'm hoping to get wifi tether going, I'm happy to help if I can...is this what you were looking for?

Set to 0, rebooted, confirmed the value remained at 0... but still no wifi (at least when using power toggles, still got the same vzw popup as before, not sure if alternate tethering apps need to be tested as well)

ok, this is a great first.
can you try this app now? (with system value set to 0)
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
(try 3.3 first, then 3.4 experimental. if 3.3 doesn't work, uninstall if before installing 3.4, don't just install it over)

3.3 appeared to install fine, after trying to enable got an error that there were errors and to check the log
tried checking the log, got a popup saying something along the lines of "what the hell?! your phone took control over wifi!"
After that there seemed to be a duel between android and the app, and I couldn't enable/disable wifi in the android settings, and couldn't force close wifi tether either
rebooted phone, uninstalled tether, installed the 3.4 experimental
Appeared to install properly, but got 0 down/up and nothing appeared in log and laptop did not see a wifi broadcast
The last thing I want to do is muddy the waters, but I found this thread about the entitlement check on the M7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489710
I wonder if the M8 has the same file.

Adclear no root needed. It works with browser and per app settings as well. You must install certificates. Then smile.
