Normally I use PPTP and L2TP/IPsec VPNs for work, but I used OpenVPN instead since it's easier to use and doesn't require too much server-side work. It's natively supported in CM7 and you can get a binary of openvpn with a nice GUI on the market, if you're using Froyo or the new GB leak.

Make sure your phone's kernel supports TUN/TAP. If enough people care about setting up tunnelling, I'll make a post somewhere with a full tutorial.

Here are some of my configuration files (FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE)

/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:

# OpenVPN configuration on Mephisto

# Up/Down Scripts
up /usr/local/etc/openvpn/up.sh
down /usr/local/etc/openvpn/down.sh

# Bridge/Adapter and UDP/IP settings
server-bridge 10.4.11.10 255.255.255.0 10.4.11.200 10.4.11.220
port 1194
proto udp
dev tap0
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo

# Force all-traffic tunneling and push a DNS server
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 67.19.72.206"

# Certificate locations
dh /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/dh2048.pem
ca /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/server.crt
key /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/server.key

# De-escalate permissions
user nobody
group nobody

# Logging information
status /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
verb 4
mute 20

/usr/local/etc/openvpn/up.sh: (chmod +x)

#!/bin/sh
# xl0 is the ethernet NIC on this server
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 create
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 addm xl0 addm $dev up
/sbin/ifconfig $dev up

/usr/local/etc/openvpn/down.sh: (chmod +x)

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 deletem $dev
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 destroy
/sbin/ifconfig $dev destroy

/etc/rc.conf: (snippet to show what you need to add for OpenVPN)

gateway_enable="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
openvpn_enable="YES"
openvpn_if="tap"
openvpn_configfile="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf"
openvpn_flags="--script-security 2"

Make sure the following kernel states are enabled:

net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding: 1

These files are for FreeBSD, but the configurtion file should work on any implementation.

I take it apps like barnacle and wireless tether go undected right?

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[Thunderbolt General] what25:
So far i didn't get notices while using wireless tether. Never used barnacle tether though.
[Thunderbolt General] mthe0ry:
I remember reading somewhere about a 3G phone on Verizon that when you turn on the native hotspot app, the NAI used by the phone to obtain an IP address for your networked devices, and subsequently service the IP requests for those devices, is made through a DIFFERENT NAI than the phone when you are making requests from your mobile phone.

There must also be some other differences. Recall a while ago in the general forum someone made a complaint about their Thunderbolt mobile browsers being unable to access images from imgur.com. I experienced the same issue. The REALLY wierd thing though is that if I turned on hotspot and went on my laptop through the hotspot, I COULD see images on imgur.com. This means that native wifi hotspot also sends you to a different DNS server than internet requests made through the phone.

It would be interesting to see at what level that happens in the application/operating system/radio stack. It's possible (likely even probable) that wired tether apps specifically like PDAnet somehow work around these differences. If the NAI is spoofed or if the requests are masked to look like they are coming from an application on the phone, I don't see how it is possible for Verizon to know the difference, or ever limit it. They would have to do deep packet inspection and see what you are doing with your internet traffic at the application level, which I think would be much more trouble than it is worth, not to mention bordering on illegal.

tl;dr: I don't think Verizon can ever stop PDAnet.
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
I know that so far I have not had any issues on my Dinc using both the wired and wifi tethering native in OpenVPN. If verizon gets too smart about it all I will just set up a VPN to hide everything from them even more :D
[Thunderbolt General] bornthor:
I believe the native browser on the thunderbolt didn't give you the option of being recognized as a mobile browser or desktop browser, which could affect the way certain websites will show.
[Thunderbolt General] bornthor:
Sorry, this was replying to the comment about there being a difference in the phone connection and in the hotspot connections that it feeds.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
It does, you just have to type about:debug first.
[Thunderbolt General] sabindaman:
Sorry if I missed this but is the built in usb tether able to be blocked/detected?
[Thunderbolt General] Gr8gorilla:
All that is is the USER Agent.

For example, open your browser on your phone and go to a site you know has a mobile and desktop site.

You will get the mobile site. Now in your browser address bar, type about:debug and hit go or whatever.

Now with browser open push menu/settings. You should see a lot of new options that weren't there before.

Search for UAString - click that and choose Desktop. You can also choose Ipad, etc.

After choosing desktop, go back to that site and you will get the full desktop version. Because the site now thinks your browser is a desktop browser.

They can't tell. If they could, they would be invading your privacy to find out. Unless the app is reporting to them. The traffic doesn't tell them, I am almost certain of this.

They could see you are viewing desktop versions of sites, but then they have to be monitoring your traffic, and that is a big Privacy NO NO.
[Thunderbolt General] rockstargroover:
Great to know it'll be undected. Usb tethering is definitely faster.
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
Should be better on the delicate battery as well
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpedigo:
Alright, maybe I've missed something but I am trying to sync Kies with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. I've searched and tried the suggestions out there but I continue to get "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies" error message.

I don't see that option anywhere. I have tried multiple launchers including the one stock after factory reset.

Am I missing something obvious? Or is somebody having this problem?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpedigo:
Ideas?

Nobody has any ideas on this? I know it may be a n00b question but surely somebody has run across this.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olinz:
settings/wireless and network/usb settings

Select Kies Mode, go to your home screen, connect usb cable to pc, run kies
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpedigo:
So after a lot of search and a suprisingly difficult find, it appears that the US version of the tablets don't support Kies. At least the Sprint US. I'm curious as to whether I can get the update since I'm no longer subscribed with them.

Thanks for the recommendation, though. I don't even have those options available.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timanator:
I have a Sprint tab and no services through Sprint. My tablet is rooted, I still get the OTA updates.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcub:
I just got a Sprint Tab today myself..

Timanator / All..

What is the latest firmware version?

While I'm running the device as "WiFi Only" (per the initial set up) I was able to snatch two OTA updates..

The build number I'm currently running is 'SPH-P100.EB28'

Is this the newest? When attempting to search for any more updates after that, I was greeted with an error message stating it couldn't connect.. :( Hopefully that's just what happens when your firmware is up to date.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpedigo:
Are you hitting "Update Android" or "Update Firmware."

I wonder what the difference is... When I hit "Update Firmware," it drops off my WiFi and "Update Android" says it's up to date. I'm hoping the "Update Android" is where they'll push the update.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcub:
Just as if you - hitting "Update Firmware" leads to it dropping the WiFi. I let it sit for a few minutes and that's when I got connection error message.

Hitting "Update Android" just comes back with a quick "Your system is up to date." screen.

What version firmware are you running? I'm trying to figure out what's the newest version.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpedigo:
Same as you. I will look for a build list.

In the meantime, does anybody else have experience updating their Sprint Tab without a contract or 3G service?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcub:
I found one on sprints website and the firmware I posted is the newest one. Basically if you have sprint id, you've got the newest one..
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
I'm using CM7 with all the latest updates (CM7 7.0.3, Flash 10.3). In browser videos do NOT work; they have no video, but sound only.

I've read that this is an ongoing issue with ROMs and Flash 10.3 right now, with no clear/easy resolution.

If anyone has it working or knows how to fix it, can you please fill me in on the details and let me know how to get it to work?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
Bump. I'd like some feedback on this please. I know I'm not the only one to experience this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes I've been having problems too. I suggest just doing what I did and revert to the last 10.2 build of Flash until all this crap is worked out. There is no reason to run 10.3 if its breaks stuff. The security vulnerabilities it fixes are pretty rare.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I'm on Nightly 77 and have 10.3 installed as well and if I go to a page with a YouTube video embedded my phone completely freezes and I have to pull the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
I just reverted to Flash 10.2 and now it's the opposite: the sound is broken, but video works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
LOL oh well. This kind of stuff is what vindicates Steve Jobs's attitude somewhat about Flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Flash 10.2 on N77 works perfect. If I "upgrade" to 10.3, the picture goes bye bye.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
What's the complete version number of the Flash you are using?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
10.2.155.67 from here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
Yeah, I downloaded that and installed in. Videos display, but no sound. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Well crap! It was workin earlier today but I went into market for something and accidentally updated it to 10.3 and didn't get it stopped fast enough. I then uninstalled and reinstalled this one but it too is now busted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I just downgraded to Flash 10.2 and my phone no longer freezes on flash videos on sites but there is no longer sound lol. Damn flash!

Just updated to Nightly 78 and upgraded to Flash 10.3 again. It no longer freezes my phone however it's sound only no video still.

[Verizon Droid Charge] ZeppelinJ0:
Kind sir of great kindly kindess.

Howfore didst thou rooteth thy phone?! Didst thou install lated OTA updateth??

I cry out of great sadness that my phone is currently unrooted. Great, horrible soul crushing sadness since root won't work on ED2. Oh woe! WOE!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ITGuy11:
I haven't installed the ota. I used adb to root.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
What's the advantage to freezing over uninstalling?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Z51:
You can unfreeze it later if you prefer. Just uninstall it. Good riddance
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Completely removing the files/apks can prevent you from getting future OTA updates, where freezing them with Titanium Backup is like removing them, but if you thaw them out, they return and you can still get OTA updates.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
Okay, gotcha. If I've installed Firefox, is it safe to freeze Browser?

Freezing backup assistant causes force closes for me since it keeps restarting itself. Everything else worked great tho, thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmreagle:
Frozen but still showing up

So I froze a bunch of apps in tit back but it seems like a lot of the links to them are still visible... for instance i froze daily briefing but when i long press on a home screen to add a widget i can still see all four of the daily briefing apps. Same goes for icons when i long press to add applications to my home screen. Is this just a failure by tit back to clean up these items from everywhere?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pchasco:
The same thing happened to me, but a reboot fixed it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Just picked up the Charge (for my daughter) and I've not used Titanium Backup at all, but presume its easy to figure out freezing apps. My question is why freeze vs delete? I've pretty much always used CM 6 or 7 so this is something I haven't had to deal with before.

Me: OG D1 CM7.0.3 w/ChevyNo1 ulv @ 1.1ghz

Wife: OG D1 CM 7.0.3 stock kernel

Daughter: Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] mygraine:
Not Flaming but this question was answered on the previous page. There is only two pages, you should read them.

:rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stolz25:
When I freeze car cradle my dock no longer works. On my droid when I added a new car home app it gave me the option to make that default when docked, but I don't get a message for the Charge. Anyone know a way around this? I really want to use my car dock but car cradle is complete crap.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Sorry if I seem dense to you, but I don't really know what 'freezing' is. That's my question I suppose. Why one (freezing) vs the other (deleting)? Freezing leaves them on the phone but keeps them from being visible/loading? I certainly read the prior page, but someone saying 'I froze these files' and someone else saying, 'just delete them' doesn't really help me out much, hence my question. Just trying to understand something new. Is there a good reason to freeze something rather than just delete?

Edit: Nevermind. Still kinda wondering just what freezing does, but tibu is pretty self-explanatory in its operation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stolz25:
That is copied from post 6.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Yeah, I was just re-reading the first page again (for the third time) and saw that. I do not understand how I missed it. My fault. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
You can also just rename the file extension that you want to remove/delete. What I do is just rename the file from .apk to .bak. Then I move them all to a folder named system apps on my sd card. That way if I need them in the future I can just move them back to the system folder on the device and just rename it back to .apk. I don't like depending on a program to do it for me, because there have been instances where Titanium has screwed me when restoring a file. Just my opinion and to each their own but it is another alternative. I use Root Explorer to do this. You don't have to move the file either, you can just rename the .apk extension to .bak and just restart your phone and the app will not load.

Regardless be sure to restart your phone so that the apps do not load after making changes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
did i freeze something important?

after i froze everything on the list (on page 1), i rebooted my phone. Now it's stuck on the boot-up animation screen.

Edit: I froze TWLauncher 2.2.1 without using an alternate launcher. Am I screwed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] msk522:
If you want to get out of the boot screen, I would suggest you start all over. Either reflash the through ODIN, or go into the Samsung factory recovery and wipe user data and wipe cache. For instruction on how to go into recovery on Droid Charge, there's a instruction in Droid Charge Forum in Android Central under the sticky in Charge Rooting, Room and Hacks by DroidXcon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
running factory recovery and wiping user data and cache didnt solve the problem. im going to try reflashing through ODIN now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
YES! Reflashing through ODIN worked beautifully. It also was already rooted once reflashed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Is it safe to freeze the stock mobile hotspot? I didn't see it on the list.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
If you do not plan to use it, then it will not cause any harm.

[Verizon Droid Charge] lpsquall:
Quick noob question. My DC is rooted and I was wondering if I perform a factory reset, will this remove the root and unfreeze all the apps I froze?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
will not remove root.
[Verizon Droid Charge] azenalex:
I froze VVM but now when I try to long press 1 to check voicemail I just throw a bunch of errors. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
When I had the TB I just cut/pasted the files onto the microSD card so I could return them later on if/when an update comes along. This way I get the benefit of free internal storage which is a the only negative that kept me from jumping on the DC right away, 1.04GB out of the box is pathetic regardless of SD card included.
[Verizon Droid Charge] likeastorm:
Itguy or someone Help!

I have read all this stuff about ADB but I'm not totally sure what that is. I was great with other ways of rooting before this phone but Z4 made that easy I only need root to remove bloatware and really need free wireless tether working as it was on my DX with Froyo. Has root and tht wireless tether been confirmed as working for sure? Anyone have the files needed to root and maybe a step by step to describe it all. I dont even know where to look for this ADB thing. And if successful what tether app would I need. I am new here but I'm tired of looking.

Thanks

Obviously some of these will need alternate apps installed if you expect the service to work. IE you need a 3rd party video player if you freeze the stock video player when playing videos

anyone have any more to add to the list?
[Verizon Droid Charge] newDC:
I can't seem to find the stock Mobile Hotspot listed in Titanium Backup. What is it called?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
Ya I would like to know how to disable this as well..anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Seems like my battery is draining like crazy since I removed Backup assistant and the "sync service.apk" or whatever its called that pertains to backup assistant.

I rebooted phone and no more force close errors but the battery drain is insane, i also just calibrated my battery.

1 hour down to 82 percent
[Verizon Droid Charge] craig987:
Did you ever figure out what was causing the battery drain?
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Yup, don't remove "sync service"
[Verizon Droid Charge] wetwaterdog:
I see in my app drawer that mobile Hotspot is installed....BUT...I have looked and looked for the actual app with Titanium BU and I do not see it listed. I have also tried to find it with some other app remove programs.

Can someone tell me the "name" of the .apk. I am running GummychargedGB 1.5, so maybe it is ???
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
Mobile HotSpot is now built in to the settings_apk and there's no getting rid of it. I hate it too, damn thing runs without being asked to and chews up memory plus wastes space in the drawer..
[Verizon Droid Charge] mautai916:
are you guys getting any better battery life freezing all these apps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
I do. Don't expect a night and day difference or anything like that; however, it is certainly noticeable. In my case, I seem to get between a 10 and 20% increase, but that is really just an estimate. Removing this stuff will primarily affect battery life while the phone is idling, not when it is being used. However, unless you are actively using the phone 100% of the time, you should see a difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I froze Phone and everything seems fine. At first it was a little glitchy causing my apps on the home page to disappear for a few seconds(like when pressing the home button on a high RAM game like Angry Birds). A simple reboot mostly fixed the problem, it still happens every now and then but it did that before on all the ROMs I've tried even without freezing Phone.

I use RocketDial as my primary now, much better phone app :] I only froze Phone because i seemed to get 2 calls at once when someone would ring me up. All fixed :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] beauvais87:

I thought iphone/HTC headset works but I was wrong.

BOOM!!! Phone freezes once I plugged in, but headset from N900 works fine (calling and listening music).

After that, I went to T-Mobile corp store to buy a special headset adapter for nokia phone. Lo and Behold, iphone headset works through this adapter (mic and headphones), so I guess nokia headset for N8 and N900 work for sure.
