do i create a custom UA and edit the string to a spider or how would be the best way? or what would be the best one to use?about going about this? sorry, have no experience with user agents

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

nevermind, i used googlebot 2.1 new version and its working great, thanks for this!!! :)
[HTC Sensation] The Archangel:
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.
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
You got it!
[HTC Sensation] SurfCityCom:
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.
[HTC Sensation] The Archangel:
i use platnium hide ip. it switches to another ip when im on windows an sometimes ill use smac to change that also. havent found any programs for linux yet (havent really looked)
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
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.
[HTC Sensation] The Archangel:
I've been doing it for a while, never got a ban on my end
[HTC Sensation] JaimeZX:
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.

[HTC Sensation] madhartigan:
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.
[HTC Sensation] chadwick3nser:
This method no longer works for me
[HTC Sensation] Nxslvr24:
I know about the user agent switch but what do I do about data usage outside of the browser? I haven't been able to use the uTorrent or Vuze applications because of T-Mobile message.

[HTC Sensation] CastleBravo:
So far best solution I've found is having one of these (or any other similar router) running this which runs a VPN from my home internet. Along with a free dynamic dns service which gives me a free subdomain linked to my IP, all I have to do is connect to the address with android's vpn features and everything is hidden from t-mo. Not a thing they can do about it either.

Thanks, I installed the Firefox Add-On and I am BACK ONLINE, now the only thing is that i cant change to desktop view. any ideas on how to solve that?

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Just download the Firefox add "user agent switcher" then go to tools and change to a phone browser agent and problem solve. :cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] gthing:
That might make sense on unlimited plans, but if they're limiting my 4G to 5GB, then why should they care how I use it? I can suck up as much data on my phone as I can on my computer/tablet/or another Android device.
[HTC Sensation] rentyman:
How?

phone= tmobile sensation ICS

laptop browser= frefox v17.0.1

user agent switcher addon

I've used many of the user agents but i am still unable to use my phones wifi. i keep getting the tmobile tether service plan website.

Any idea's?:confused:

Is their a anyway to watch youtube with googlebot

:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
No problem mate! Cheers! :D
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Has that not worked? I haven't really been on YouTube when tethering before, try other UAs to see what works best.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
+1, just curious. while tethering using hotspot, no matter what UA I pick with Chrome the YouTube site/videos wont work(get an error message). not too big of an issue as I can still watch videos on my phone, but would be nice to watch on a bigger screen ;). oh yeah, thanks for all the previous info!:good:
[HTC Sensation] llordi_x01:
Yes there is a why by using one of the table user agent .... I can't remember wish one but when I finish working I will let you know
[HTC Sensation] llordi_x01:
The way to watch video on youtube is by usin the apple ipad ios 6_0 user agent.... remember to delete all the firefox history in order to work.

How do you download the files when all webpages display T-Mobile tethering warning ?

[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
same here, still cant get ytube to work
[HTC Sensation] jbh4242:
is this still working? i tried a few UA spoofers and it still isnt working for me when i use wifi hotspot... its weird if i tether it works without using a UA spoofer but the Hotspot works on neither. i have a rooted phone but stock kernel and stock rom
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
yep still working for me as of right now(except for youtube), which browser and UA are you using? Im using Chrome with the UA Spoofer and added a GoogleBot string. my homepage opens up to the dreaded T-Mobile notification(weird since its google) but all I do is refresh the browser and works just fine. since youre on stock rom and kernel, you might wanna try Barnacle wifi tether from the Play store
[HTC Sensation] TheArtiszan:
All works fine yet for me and I don't have problems with youtube either.

I got arround the problem with homepage loading is to set my home to https://www.google.com

with the HTTPS it won't get blocked.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
ah thanks for that:good:

how are you getting youtube to work tho?

*edit*

nvm I got it to work now, feel kinda dumb....forgot to clear all data/cache from chrome :banghead:
[HTC Sensation] PixelMover:
I haven't configured or used DD-WRT or Dynamic DNS before, but I am very interested in this approach. Can you share a few more details on it? Does DD-WRT come with VPN functionality "out of the box," like you just have to enable it and configure it? Also, can you expand on the configuration of the dynamic DNS, and where it is configured (router, provider, both)?

Many thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Hesster:
I'm able to tether and load web pages, but YouTube videos are not working for me. When I click on a video, it looks like it's going to load for a second then I get a message that says "An error occurred. Please try again later." Doesn't seem to matter which user agent I try. I have cleared my cookies, cache, etc. Any ideas?

Interestingly, I get the same error when trying to view videos from inside the phone's browser. Videos load on the YouTube app and from m.youtube.com just fine.

Beating T Mobile Bar

Hi

I followed your procedure all the way until the last line.

'Then pick a User Agent that resembles the Sensation webkit and BAM! Free tethering for all of us.'

Don't follow. I can see a long, nested list of agents that I've now installed access to but which to choose?? What does 'that resembles the Sensation webkit ' mean (I'm not a developer)??

If it helps I'm running a Vista/Firefox laptop tethered to a wireless hot spot on an Android tablet running Froyo (2.2) and of course a T Mobile prepaid mobile wireless service.

Thanks for your help....:laugh::laugh:

[HTC Sensation] snow_lightning:
Same issue here

You have to add the UA toolbar then select the appropriate spoofer from that list through the toolbar drop-down menu.

Just wondering if anybody had any idea how to also play battlefield while spoofing to get the tethering to work.

The battlefield webpage loads up good enough but when you try to start a game, it says that you need to be on a windows platform. I assume this isn't possible because the entire idea is to tell webpages (ie tell tmo) that you are on a mobile device.

Just askin!:confused:
[HTC Sensation] pythonjosh:
Hey guys, this used to work for me, but not any more. Even selecting HTC Sensation doesn't do it. Googlebot, iOS, doesn't matter.

Did TMO update their detectability? What's the process you use for switching? Back when it worked before HTC Sensation worked, now it doesn't.

I dont know if they did, but now all of a sudden im not getting the tethering upsell page in any browsers.
[HTC Sensation] ZombieSixShot:
Just wanted to let you guys know i tether and have been running into the recent tethering restriction message. I am on the 30 dollar a month 100 min unli. text and 5gigs of data. I tether my phone to my laptop and i use my VPN private internet access. Everything works great, Also if you dont already run a VPN i suggest getting one and anonomizing all your internet browsing, PIA is only 30 a year!
[HTC Sensation] PantsFullOfGuns:
PIA? Care to explain. Also I found if you are using your own network and want to get around it I usually turn on airplane mode and the turn on my wifi since then I have had any issues with usb tethering.

[HTC Sensation] cloy:
I’m on Firefox 17 and using googlebot 2.1 (any googlebot works for me)… and the whole thing is working perfectly (inc Youtbe) with the added bonus of desktop view.

http://www.erikswan.net/browser_and_os/ gives me unidentified browser and OS, but advanced details show googlebot - I don’t know whether the Network could pick up on that suspicious googlebot thing, but so far so good.

My device is 2.3, routed and I'm using stock tether. I've come around to User Agent Switcher after spending weeks concentrating on apps that supposedly hide tether usage - they don't, not any more. PdaNet lasted only 10min (7MB download) before my Network discovered I was tethering. Orbot was a little better - 500MB before I was caught out again. So much focus has been on apps to do the job – and now they’re easily discovered by Networks, User Agent Switcher seems to have slipped under the radar.

And if you're going to download Youtube vids just do it on your mobile.
[HTC Sensation] HowDoIVoIP:
I can confirm User Agent Switcher with Googlebot 2.1 works. I only began tethering hard today because my internet connection is really bad. It was fine for about 10 hours and then I started getting the T-Mobile upsell on websites only (games/voip chat still work). I followed the advice here and installed the Firefox addon + imported the xml list of agents and it worked.

When my ISP goes down or is slow, I should be able to switch to my cell phone internet without having to pay extra, really. I barely use it as it is. Any company that locks down tethering so much that it becomes unusable will not get my business. When I had Sprint, they never gave me crap for tethering at all and I did a lot of it with them. I won't hesitate to go back if I have to.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucstwo:
You don't need to access recovery to restore the factory images. You just need to get into the bootloader. Power device off holding power and vol -. Then power on holding power, vol + and vol - at the same time. This will put you in the bootloader mode where you can flash the factory images.

Factory images can be found here:

P.S. Anyone know if the N7105, specifically the SHV-E250L, will work in the US? Is factory unlocked? Is the GSM band frequencies in Asia and the US compatible? I live in South Korea but I am returning to the states next June...I bought the phone with the impression that it would work anywhere.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Acuap:
Hey. I managed to get hands on bootloader file from stock ROM. I reflashed this one via odin and flashed CWM again. It worked this time.
