Hi All, I have a question I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with.
I have a Nexus S i9020A running CM 7.0.2 on AT&T. I've noticed something strange lately and can't quite pinpoint the problem.
I'm running a server at my house with a no-ip address to access my tv show downloads. I'm able to access this from the browser (any browser) while connected to wireless (in my network, or out) but only intermittently while on cellular data. When it isn't working it simply keeps trying to connect until it times out. I haven't yet recognized a pattern of when it works vs when it doesn't.
I thought for a bit it might be a DNS issue, but even with the straight IP address it won't load. Funny thing is, I'm still able to SSH into my router using ConnectBot, so I know the address is correct and the phone can see it. Other apps like RDP won't work either while I'm having this issue.
It's not the end of the world, but it sure is annoying. I'd like for it to work whenever I need it. Any ideas?! I'm stumped.
Thanks everybody!
Tim
I know nothing about networking, just so you know. It sounds like you know much more. I will offer a guess. With some other phones than the ns, sprint has multimedia proxies set for when you are on their network. Streaming music works on wifi but not cell. Use the msl to get into settings, ##data# is the code for sprint phones, and I forget what they are called but there's two proxy addresses and ports that need to be zeroed out then reboot in order to get streaming to work. This is probably not a solution for you but I thought I'd offer something since nobody else has chimed in yet for suggestions.
RS something or another. The other setting is always right next to the first one and generally at the bottom of the list of settings. It could be in advanced or multimedia. Different places for different phones. It would be wise to write down the default addresses and ports before changing them in case it doesn't work or breaks something. It usually doesn't though.
Hey herb, thanks for the response. I see what you're saying, but I don't think it applies here. I know I made it sound like I was streaming or downloading music through the phone...my mistake. What I actually meant was that I'm accessing a web site running from my house to control my home machine downloading music. It's nothing complicated, I'm just sure I'm explaining it terribly.
But, essentially it's just a regular old web page. It's just very strange that it would work wireless and not over cellular. They do run on funky ports, so that they're blocking or redirecting some stuff is very possible. Annoying...
So here's the strange thing I've noticed recently while connected to my GS3 via hotspot, youtube videos don't play on devices connected to the specific hotspot. I'm using CleanRom 7, and I've only noticed this recently. It's like the video will not load, but the site itself works entirely. I don't have this issue with various Wi-Fi networks, it is specific to my phone and devices connected to my phone.
YouTube App does work on my phone regardless if hotspot is on.
YouTube does work on multiple networks on multiple devices, but via hotspot through my GS3.
No app blocking or redirecting incoming and outgoing traffic. (unless that's happening and I'm unaware of any changes)
I'm just curious if anyone is having this issue as well? Or with any other video format online. I've checked whether or not it's just the flash player or HTML5 format was the issue, but again the videos play regardless on networks outside of my hotspot. I've also been to sites where flash video works flawlessly via my hotspot. So, it's really just YouTube.

I also experienced the same thing. Been looking around and they are blocking youtube. Apparently they are blocking youtube, netflix and various other streaming sites on any device connected to the hotspot. I have a grandfathered unlimited account with verizon so its people like me they are mainly aiming this at. You can try a VPN from what im told by a buddy at verizon, but its hard to find a good VPN off the playstore that doesn't have nefarious programming. I'm sure you could find something here on XDA about VPNs. Sorry im not anymore help but im a newb. Lol
Also it might have something to do with when they throttle down the data speed. Might be automatic until your data plan renews each month.?

I finally found a vpn I like a lot. Private internet access, unlimited bandwith for 40 something a year. Speeds are good and it has a play store app that works pretty good now (the old app was just a shortcut to the default android vpn settings). I think its 10$ or something for month to month payment so if you try it out and like it don't forget to buy the year and save a good chunk of change.
Thanks I think its time for this. ive always heard of VPN's but never really understood the need. If this works "thanks Verizon for opening my eyes" lol
What is the name of the VPN?

I think he mentioned "VPN by Private internet access", search the market for "Private internet access" and you should find it.
I just signed up for the Privateinternetaccess.com vpn service. It works great. Got my youtube videos and my netflixs back. Use the windows program on the computer that connects to the hotspot. And the android app on the device that is connected to the hotspot. Do not use the vpn on the device projecting the hotspot. I could get my desktop to contect to the hotspot but no internet. Maybe im doimg something wrong but the other ways work great!! Thanks for this topic!!!!!

I have problems connecting on windows 8 but it will connect. 7 and xp connect without any problems. I think it is a setting in the firewall. If you have a router that supports VPN you can set it up there and tunel all your traffic.

PIA, Hidemyass, airvpn etc will all work
Alternatively, you can spend a one time fee of $8 for the foxfi key. I use it to access my native hotspot on stock rooted 4.3 without any issues.
I don't have internet at my location, so I have to use my phone as a tether. When I run Pdanet, I have to run it with level 1 hidden usage or T-Mobile will pop up saying I've run out of hotspot data. However, if I try to view Netflix with hidden usage, I get message 51 saying my computer isn't compatible. Is there a workaround for this that I'm not aware of?
Edit: I'm using a crappy MyTouch 4G for the phone and my computer is Windows 7, browser is Chrome.
I'm having the same/similar issue. It takes me directly to the page that lists the system requirements to watch Neftlix instantly. Obviously this is caused by whatever method PdaNet+ uses to hide the tether usage (it works fine if I use WiFi).
It's my guess that the problem lies with Microsoft Silverlight, because when I go to the webpage to install/update Silverlight, it just hangs and the url string in the browser ends with "?reason=unsupportedbrowser&_helpmsg=NoKnownBrowser.mozilla#sysreq"
I've tried a couple different user agent switchers to no avail. I can use the WiFi Share option on PdaNet or a similar separate program (or connect directly with PdaNet and BT) and watch Netflix on my tablet just fine, but the Android app for Netflix doesn't use Silverlight.

What I've been doing to circumvent this is disable hiding tether usage when I click on a show/movie to watch, but then I turn the hiding back on as soon as the page loads, so it doesn't use USB tether info for the loading of the video.

If it does, it's no more than loading a normal page. I switch back over to hidden as soon as the "loading circle" shows up on the screen. Before it gets to the red page with the long loading bar. (If that makes sense.)
In other words, I have never used up my mobile hotspot allowance by doing this and I've been averaging about 50gigs of data a month. It WILL use up your hotspot allowance if you leave it unhidden. I learned that the hard way my first month.
Very cool. Depending on the time of day I get 25-40+ Mb/sec download speeds at my apartment (there's T-Mobile antennae on the roof), and with PdaNet, I don't need home internet. But trying to get Netflix to work was frustrating the crap out of me. Even spent an hour talking with a higher-level tech support guy and he couldn't figure out the problem either. Tried Chrome/Iron, Firefox, and IE. Uninstalled/reinstalled them all, Silverlight, etc.
I really wonder how PdaNet hides the tether usage. It's not a user agent switcher, because you can go to websites that detect your system, and they identify my set-up exactly.
Now that I know how to get it to work and not drain my Hotspot, the only question is do I start with "24" or "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?
I know this thread is very old but i had to share what i experimented yesterday. I have Windows 8 in my PC and downloaded the Netflix app from the Marketplace. PDANet seems to work flawlessly with the Netflix app.
Anyone have any luck running adhell on this phone? Was going to email the dev and see if they want to check it out.
Kept giving me an RILNOTIFICATION (Radio Interface Layer Notification) after installed and even after removing. Kept causing me huge data griefs and mobile data would only work when it felt like. Would throw up error lte : ESM - 31 EMM - X as well all the time.
If you tried it and are having trouble, you HAVE to reset your mobile data with ##72786#. I found trying to reset it any other way didn't work.

no problems here, installed, accepted the knox stuff, seems to be working. It isn't blocking the adds i get on the home screen of CM Browser though, or an add i just had in Tube Map so not sure how effective it is, i havent used it before yesterday. It is definitely blocking some ads though.
I'm running it just fine.

Working fine here.
how are you seeing the error? I have it installed and haven't noticed any issues and seem to be working most of the time.
Got an email back from the developer, he said there does seem to be an issue with some carriers. He said he knew for sure now T-mobile appears to have trouble with it (hes getting reports of the same errors I am getting) and I have sprint and let him know.
My stuff still is acting goofy even after the reprovision. Also reset network settings and rejoined my current wifi network and completely reset up wifi calling and it will not work at all. I've never had it not work on this network. worked perfect until I installed and setup adhell.
Really wish I had never tried this stupid thing lol. Feel I'm going to be stuck with a restore....
No problems here: S8+ on Verizon.
Working fine on T-Mobile s8+ here.
I've tried adhell and disconnect pro now and both let through too many ads for my liking. on the homepage of CM Browser alone a load of ads get through every time. Never had anything like that on my S5 when I had roted and used AdFree. At this point I am thinking I need to try adguard or adblock plus (that use the vpn method) to see if they are any better as these two just arent blocking enough. The only potential issue with that is how much performance is affected by using those vpn methods, in terms of download speeds and battery life (VPN's use a lotof cpu power due to the encryption).

im on tmo and have no issues using it.
I had it return a couple random times and a profile update would immediately fix it and make it go away for a long while.
adhell must screw with the APNs (seems that way anyway) as I was only having this trouble on one specific APN at this point and only when the phone would decide to change to it. Since I cannot edit or view the APNs, can't say what for sure. I've since done a full settings reset (tried network only and it did zilch) and it's finally stopped completely now going near 20 hours. I have been on this APN since.
Every profile update would change what APN I was using and it'd stop. Same as a reboot or airplane mode. Soon as I switched back to that APN, instant RILNOTIFICATION about no data.
Funny thing is, the data did work, just horribly.
Running on my T-Mobile S8+ with no problems at all. I hadn't used it before, but so far I like it very much.
Keep in mind that Google play music (which happens to be default music player on the s8) needs to be whitelisted in adhell. The program nails up a persistent connection when it can't connect to ad servers and will blow your battery and suck a ton of resources.
Once whitelisted, no issues.
I am very pleased with adhell. Arcitecture is great, utilizes knox f/w and is open source on top of it. I would not trust this kind if stuff to just anyone.
It does a good job paring ads way back.
It seems to work fine with my S8+. I have this app that used to be slow when loading, now it load new contents very fast. Great ad block app.

Does disabling google play music stop that? I have it disabled in package disabler anyway.
Also for an open source app, it sure seems to be letting a lot of ads through. I read somewhere it lets ads through from certain providers like adchoices or seomthing. For me it seems to let all the same ads through that disconnect pro does and I see no reason why.

You can go to github and open the .json file that contains all of the blacklisted URLs. There are something like 2000.
Re Play Music, I cant see how this activity would resume if you had the package disabled, but I cant confirm you wont either. I can tell you that if it becomes an issue you will know it. I got a warning suggesting to shut the app down a few days ago.
Disconnect Pro uses a VPN, so they proxy all of your data through their machines. I cant say a bad word about them, but this is something that I would look very hard into before doing. Also, I believe you need to pay or use only the Samsung browser which is less than ideal.
I like how adhell is dns based, and utilizes Knox for blocking. I am not suggesting that adhell is the most comprehensive blocker out there but it works well enough and I am comfortable with its architecture.

disconnect pro doesn't use a VPN it uses the knox firewall to block by dns exactly the same way as adhell does, and in my limited testing it lets exactly the same ads through that adhell does too. I have heard that a lof of these companies get paid by some ad providers to let their ads through (i.e. simply not include their ads in the blocking), and the ads I have seen get through both adhell and disconnect pro have been obvious ads from obvious large ad suppliers which looks highly suspicious to me as there is no reason they aren't in their block list. These are all ads that were blocked on my rooted S5 using Adfree (or adaway i cant remember which one it was but it was a basic hosts file/dns based blocker and no such ads got through).
I looked at their site, the premium product is vpn based, the lower tiers apparently at not.

The one on the Galaxy Apps store ("Disconnect Pro Privacy and Performance") is not VPN-based. It does cost money, but it goes on crazy sales once in a while. I got it for a few bucks a year or so ago.
Although I haven't tried Adhell, Disconnect Pro has been flawless for me. No noticeable affect on battery life, zero difference in webpage loading speeds compared to using no ad blocker at all, and no annoying notification icons in the status bar. It works phone-wide, so it blocks ads in all apps. And best of all, root is not required.
I find that even the root-based ad blocking (eg: AdAway) would be a little too overzealous in its blocking and resulted in many video files on websites being blocked entirely just because they would contain an ad before the video. I don't get this problem at all with Disconnect Pro.
If Adhell works the same way that Disconnect Pro does but is free, then that's a win for everybody.

Reminds me of when apple started letting ad blockers in the appstore for safari. First people charged for the apps, then many deleted them cause they felt bad, others would let select ads through for pay. Was a mess.
I get why websites and businesses want ads, but they are way too intrusive. Like when on youtube and you get stuck watching a min long ad you cannot skip. Those piss me off to no end. Not sure I see them as much anymore.
Well, another strange issue with my brand new MM3.
Global rom there.
I noticed that two (and only two) apps ("Ip cam viewer" and "Vera Mobile") are perfectly working when connected to WiFi but as soon as I switch to LTE, they stop working.
The apps are launching, but says that there is a connectivity issue. Of course, I checked the regarding parameters (i.e. ip public adress, port, password...) on booth apps but as those paramaters perfectly works with another phone, I really don't understand what's this issue.
No problem with youtube, or gmail, or any other app...
Anyone can help ?
Thanks
Am I the only one facing this issue ?
This is probably to do with your Vera app settings. I don't use the Vera Mobile app, I'm still using Home Buddy, but the app communicates through the external MIOS servers unless you're in local mode (on your home wifi). Also, check the IP address of your Vera (you really need to make it static, or reserved on the router), otherwise you'll have difficulties in local mode if the IP address ever changes.
The other thing you can try is logging into MIOS through a browser session and check that it works, if not then you know you have an issue between the MIOS servers and Vera.

Thanks for your reply !
It works while logging through browser.
My vera's ip is fixed.
Furthermore, my ipcameras also have fixed ip adress, and the problem is the same with the "ipcamviewer app".
Every other apps are perfectly 4G working so... WTF ?
As I said, it's nothing to do with 4G or the Mix 3, it's because the MIOS server is unable to reach your Vera through a remote connection. I can't log in to Vera Mobile to take a look because I don't have the login credentials for the account I created when I tried to "upgrade" to a Vera Plus, but to resolve the problem you're probably going to need to talk to MiCasa Verde support. If you want to prove it, try connecting to a wifi network other than your home network and see if you get the same problem as when on 4G.
Maybe I'm not correctly explaining my problem.
First, I've got a Veraplus.
Regarding Vera Mobile app :
- local wifi : no problem
- other wifi network : no problem
- 4G with web brower : no problem
- 4G with VeraMobile app : issue
--> so I think it means that the MIOS server is able to reach my VeraPlus through a remote connection, right ?
Second :
Ipcamviewer app
Local Wifi : no problem
Other Wifi network : no problem
4G : issue
So I really really think that the problem comes from the MM3, especially since I previously owned a Mi Mix and there was no issue at all with both apps Ipcamviewer and VeraMobile...
All my apps were restored from my google account, so is it possible that the problem comes from a "cache" I should delete (restoring apps include ip adress, port, login and password).
If so, how to "clean the cache" ?
You can clear the cache on the apps by long pressing (not sure if this works on MIUI) and clicking info, then clearing storage. Alternatively, find the app list in Settings and do the same thing that way. This isn't going to be a MM3 problem. I have the same issue occasionally with Home Buddy and it's always a MIOS server issue. The connection to the MIOS server is actually the other way round, it's an outbound connection from the VeraPlus to MIOS, so you may also want to check that the Vera unit can get out. I couldn't live with UI7 on the Plus, so it's still sitting in the box and I stayed with the Vera 2.
Ok.
Let's suppose that there were a problem with the MIOS server.
BUT :
That does not explain why there would be a connectivity problem with the IpCamViewer app...
There have been tons of IP cam related problems for months, on all devices. I use YiCams and it works perfect on iOS. But on our MM3 and also Note 8, they don't work right at all. I see the same issues with all the major IP cam services. Xiaomi told me it has been some sort of persistent server problem, but why its taken 2 months so far to fix, I don't know.
My "best" guess is maybe they are all using the same push provider and/or 3rd party framework, and it has **** the bed (they all seemed to upgrade their apps around the same time, too, and they all look suspiciously similar)

Very strange answer from Xiaomi considering the fact that I never had this issues with my previous Mi Mix... Which is still perfectly working in 4G with both IpCam and Vera Mobile apps...
Still unsolved.

What does that tell you?
More than words, this is what happen with wifi (first pic) and with 4G (second pic)
