[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
HOW have you not heard of android wifi tether? One of the first reasons I had for rooting the first Android phone I got.

There's also Barnacle Tether, available on the play store.

Guess Barnacle is gone... but there are other tethering apps on the play store though.

And I'm wrong again. Barnacle is still there, but doesn't show up when I search from my phone. How curious.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panoramixmeister:
Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.

Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
I appreciate the reply, but if you read my post again the issue I'm having is not an app to enable wifi tether directly on the handset, it's that the packet data is being detected as not from the phone so I get a message, on the computer, in the internet browser saying my priceplan doesn't include tethering. I cant get around this 3 website redirect. So, I need a way to tether, without the network knowing... The apps you mention work when the block is at the phone level I believe.... This is something different Three is doing..

Please correct me if I'm wrong though...

Oh, and as for the apps not showing up, the mobile phone providers asked google to block these apps for certain customers.. if you connect to a wifi network when in flight mode, and go the google market, you should still be able to see them...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
same issue, this app doesnt get around they way three is detecting tether usage :-(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I WAS on wifi.

And did you ACTUALLY download the tether app and try, or were you using the tether built into the settings of Android? Because it sure doesn't sound like you downloaded the app...

And I don't have tethering on my carrier plan, but the tether app works just fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
Initially when I first posted I was trying the built in app but I downloaded the app you suggested anyway, but it didn't work. would connect to the computer but no data connection. Unsure if its an app problem or still a three problem, but I don't see how this app would fix the three problem. Does it somehow mask the PC data connection??? I couldn't see anything in the settings or set up that suggest that it would, it just looks like a more feature rich wifi hotspot app?? In addition I found mention that that others with my issue have also tried these apps like barnacle and it didn;t resolve the problem....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmasterx:
They can suspend your service if they discover you are doing tethering on your device if you are not alowed in your current plan.

I Hope you wont have any issues.

Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do :p

It can't be a sim lock.

I just tried tethering a Macbook, and amazingly that worked!.. SO, It must be something to do with the Packet Headers I'm guessing.. Or they are doing some other more detailed packet sniffing... It means there is definitely a software route around it... Need a clever developer to read this thread :D

I guess clockworkMod Tether might work, but I want a solution without a PC install..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That doesn't make any sense. If it works with a mac book, it should work with your windows machine too. Unless your windows machine has some kind of proxy?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
no proxy.. I'm as confused as you. The headers are different on a mac though, Unix based system... Need to know how 3 detect at a network level its not phone data... this difference with a mac must be a clue...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
pda net 3.50. Had to install pc software.. Is a USB tether solution.. but it works, so will do, until I get my price plan sorted.... Still would like a more elegant wifi solution though.. Come on you clever devs, :D.... SCRATCH that :-(((( It worked for 5 mins, now it comes up with same message in the internet Browser.. damn it!!! three are too smart :-(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Try proxoid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmasterx:
They are blocking the port 80.. they sent you to their walled garden page. I think its on your provider proxy side now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
Is there a way around this. What do you mean by, on the provider proxy side?

Shortly after PDA net stopped working, I was also getting the three message on the browser directly on my phone.. after about an hour, my phone web browser started working normall again :-(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmasterx:
When you use thetering, you embark to the provider internet network.

for example my provider is Bell Canada and their proxy is web.wireless.bell.ca

this one is for the device internet

for the thetering one they use another configuration settings when i connect my device to the computer.

What happen is when you plug your device to the computer, a signal is sent to the provider stating you entered in thetering mode. You don't have access to thetering so your internet connection is limited to the walled garden of the provider stating you are not subscrided to the service. Thats why i think they blocked the port 80 on your device and redirect you to that page.

Now for the Macintosh story.. It is not impossible that you can connect without problem with a mac and safari. I know a lot of people emulating a handled device with the Mac and the safari browser and those peeps didnt had a thetering plan.

The differences came with the drivers installed. Mac OS one are quite different in term of functionality than windows, thats why maybe the provider is able to sniff more easily people using windows but i am not a senior programmer. I am currently taking courses to become one but for now it is only suppositions. If i am wrong feel free to correct me but I am quite sure about what i am saying and that's why you dont have issues with a mac
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
This sounds correct to me. I'm pretty annoyed though. Only had the contract a month, I was told I could move onto a more expensive plan within contract if I needed more allowance etc.. Phone up 3, not only do they not let you PAY MORE for a different plan, but they also don't let anyone shift onto the one plan ever, unless its a new contract.. So basically **** them... so even if I want to pay extra for tethering I can't... absolute nonsense...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3LK_89:
I had the same issue with three. I downloaded masqued crusader from play store. Activated it and then started wireless/usb tether. It worked. That was a while back tho. On a payg sim card on a galaxy s on gb. Its worth a try though.

I had the same issue, backup would hang, I tried internal and the real SD card backups. all hung around 98%

I ended up flashing another modem down from LC5 (kk6 i think) and backup worked, then it stopped working again. My thought is it was a false positive. I ended up flashing another kernel version and I could then backup via CWM.

So give that a whirl.

I spent the better part of two hours last night trying to modify a boot.img and well ... I can't get the damn thing to boot! I'll be back at it tonight, but if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be extremely grateful.

I'm sure it's something simple, like the wrong base offset, boot string... BAH I'm getting pissed just writing this.

My wish, should you choose to grant it, would be for the android gods to smite me with working (dare I say verified) sequence for extracting, modifying and rebuilding a boot.img for our beloved Galaxy Note!

Thanks for reading. I love you all.

As much as I appreciate any attention to my question, I've read a good portion of the google-able stuff already (low hanging fruit). I've tried split_bootimg.pl, mkbootimg, mkbootfs, fastboot, etc....

I am on AOKP right now but I remember that on TW ROMs we had the dialer APK with codes that could do stuff. One of them let us put in our MSL and decrease the required dBm for WiMAX to connect.

I expect there is a minimum requirement that networks require from phone manufactures regards how often a phone polls the base station it is associated with, or how things are handled when switching from one station to the next.

Does anyone know anything more about this?

I wonder if it might be possible in some situations to lower the polling time. I wonder how that might affect battery.

That's not the only goal though, it's for interest's sake too. What would be good to search for to find out more on how 3G & GSM communicates in a easy to understand document rather than reading standards, which is hard going.

Not that it matters. This is how you de-brand a branded device anyways.

Just make sure it's an I9100 and not an I9100G, if you're trying to flash an I9100 firmware.

is the galaxy note really that good? Considering it being my next handset but it's a little too big to be used as a daily device
[Galaxy S II General] JoJo2211:
I got rid of it because it was too big. But the build quality of that thing is VERY GOOD. It's heavy and doesnt feel plasticky. I wish SII's build quality was exactly like the note, but lets hope the SIII will have similar build quality to the nOtes, and it's heavy, i don't like super light phones.
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00121:
I know what you mean by build quality,I previously had a 4S but the screen was a little too small for my liking. S2 is perfect but never had the pleasure to try out a galaxy note. How did you find the user experience like battery life and camera quality?
[Galaxy S II General] JoJo2211:
User experience is the same; everything is just bigger and there are 5 rows of icons instead of 4 which is a BIG PLUS. Also, the battery life is fantastic. I can easily go an entire day and night and still have 30% battery left the next day in the morning. Even though camera is the same, pictures look MUCH better on the note. The only reason I sold it was because it was just too big; it fits in the pocket just fine, but you are forced to use the other hand every time you want to reach the other side of the screen or the very top of the screen. If it was a bit smaller, say 4.7, that's be perfect... and that's what the S III is might be, so I cant wait for it. I'm really hoping it has the same form factor as the note or better and I want it to be heavy like the note.
