R: [ISSUE][SOLVED] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2

It should work... It's reported working on galaxy nexus and S3, both with Android >= 4.1.2 ...

Try and report your experience...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZapBeeb:
Hello everyone.

I am trying to determine if my problem is the same all you addressed here.

I have a Gnex 4.2.2, it's quite new, so i didn't try to use the wi-fi hotspot on earlier versions of the software.

I am on Vodafone Italy (f--- yeah! :D) and if i activate the native hotspot, my laptop simply does not connect to it.

It says that the network password is not correct, which of course isn't true, and even if i leave the network unprotected, it does not manage to connect to it.

I did not try with other devices (i.e. another phone) a thing that i now realize i should have done.

I was wondering if this happens because on my data plan (i am a business user) they may have chosen to block all the tethering traffic rather than send it through the infamous pay-to-tether APN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furius:
R: [ISSUE][SOLVED] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2

It seems that tether is locked and not included on your carrier plan. Maybe ask confirmation to Vodafone.

If you have root, above procedure let you tether using default APN...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZapBeeb:
So, when tethering is blocked the clients do not even connect to the hotspot?

I imagined they would connect to the hotspot and then not be able to connect to the internet, like connecting to a wireless router with no connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furius:
R: [ISSUE][SOLVED] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2

Yes you are right: when I asked Vodafone to lock web APN (web.omnitel.it) after activating hotspot, the client was apparently able to connect to the phone but no internet connection was available.

If you can't connect maybe your issue is different from the one in this thread.

On other blog some people reported to have solved similar issue using this app (not tested since I solve with the script):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giogio87:
This app saved my life

this app saved my life

search "ISWAT tether unlocker" on google play.

you must be root.

click on the button "unlock tether" and enjoy :D

Is there any solution to make tethering work under Galaxy Nexus JB 4.2.2 without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blekm:
If someone is interested, here is the solution for using the USB tethering on Mac (instead of using the WiFi hotspot)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rick7C2:
Will this fix allow me to tether without att knowing I am tethering? I dont want to lose my unlimited data plan but dont think it is worth paying $35 per 3GB for my tablet..

My phone is HTC One Dev Edition rooted I just dont want them to know that I am tethering although I probably will not do it much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furius:
Yes this should work. Anyway, if I'm not wrong, the HTC One is running Android 4.1.2, so you can also use last version of "Wifi Tether for Root users" from the Play Store: launch tethering with this app and not from the built-in feature, this will allow you tether without additional costs ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nasvi:
I use the built in Hot Spot in HTC One Dev Edition ....

Works fine for me even without this script/mod...

what gives?????:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furius:
Probably your carrier includes tethering in your plan ... or maybe later you will see additional charges on you bill ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nasvi:
Anyone have any idea what the difference would be ...using build in hotspot vs Wi-Fi thether?

Does Wi-Fi thether app do anything differently?

Ohhh and I would like to add that using any app whether it be Wi-Fi thether or the build in hotspot with a VPN would make it almost impossible to detect...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dskies:
First add ,dun in APN type of your APN!!!

Hi,

for Motorola RAZR (I'm on xt890) you must add ,dun in the APN Type of the APN that you're using.

It works perfectly on H3G ITALY on 4.1.2 stock moto rom.

I think this thing is to be considered as a pre-requisites to have wifi tethering working!!

bye bye
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makaluch:
Tethering is not working.

DEVICE INFO: New S3 Vz SCH-i535 - rooted on stock ROM

ACTIONS: Running iptables script at boot. Verified with unlocker from gplay. I believe mine is a separate issue from tagged traffic.

ISSUE1: not advertising SSID when tethering

SYMPTOM: Unsuccessful when enabling Mobile Hotspot or USB/BT tethering because it checks for a subscription before enabling

UNRELATED ISSUE2: cannot connect to PC during normal operation [only in CWM Recovery and using Kies/connects to "CDROM" not SD filesystem]

I think the native 4.1.2 UI on 3.0.31kernel is different than the upgraded versions. If anyone has any info or guidance in figuring out tethering on native 4.1.2, that would be awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furius:
Do you have root? Have you tried the app "WiFi tether for root users"? With Android 4.1.2 this should work ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makaluch:
Yes, rooted with the toolkit. Wifi Tether for Root doesn't work. It doesn't advertise an SSID and I cannot get to any of the built-in usb/bt tether settings without a subscription.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] popo72:
Hi...just getting crazy with my tethering...I have htc sensation with Cm 10.1 and jb 4.2.2 and tethering works perfectly without any fix...then I bought an iOcean x7 mkt 6589 quad core with jb 4.2.1 and tethering is not working with same sim..if I use another carrier sim it works on iOcean as well...the sim not tethering on iOcean is TIM one...I tried all the workaround methods and app but no luck....does anyone have suggestions....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyll86:
Have you tried another sim? It can be a bug of your new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] popo72:
Yes... Tried with H3G and it works... I saw others surfing in internet having same issue... so far H3G and Wind work whereas Tim and Vodafone not...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyll86:
open terminal emulator and type the command "netcfg" to see your network interface. After that try the command posted by furius with your network interface
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] popo72:
Already tried with no luck.... Unless I'm doing something wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyll86:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traketto:
Reat this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] popo72:
No way to have this DAMN TIM card working with tethering. My interface from netcfg is ccmni0 I have therefore tried the following and none of them worked:

su -c "iptables -tnat -I natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o ccmni0 -j MASQUERADE"

Also tried the script on the other post suggested by traketto and:

I tried the iswat Tether Unlocker and I'm no longer getting the wifi-mode blocked by the new Android update when I use Foxfi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZapBeeb:
Hi there.

I am running Android 4.3 on my Galaxy Nexus and i am not yet able to use wi-fi tethering.

Since my last visit here i switched carrier (i am on 3 now) and successfully tried usb tethering.

I repeat my question for all the people who had a similar problem.

Did you manage to connect to the phone but then had no connection, or the phone refused the connection?

I ask because i can't even connect to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] technomooney:
i have done this... i am replying to this using this method... BUT you can not use platform dependent sites (in my case "netflix"). and i want to disable this feature PERMANENTLY!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrc527:
Hello everyone,

I had the same problem of you all guys. I've written an app, published yesterday, that will solve this problem.

The app is free, can you please give it a try and let me know if there is any problem? I'm adding support for every device, but I really need your help to test it.

Here is the link: Free Tethering Unlocker

Thanks.

Just a question.. what is android.process.acore? It uses a huge amount of battery and also requires root access?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
Does anyone know what android.process.acore is? sorry for double posting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iStatiK:
That is your Contacts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
My Google contacts? that i synced? It shows around 90% battery usage on batter mix. It also requires root?

It can not be disabled can it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Its a system function so disabling it would really not be a good idea. And system apps technically have root AFAIK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
I used battery mix and saw that android.process.acore uses 90% battery.

But while my phone is in idle the battery is awesome. 1% in 8 hours, but if i start using it, the battery drops faster then normal.(Not comparing to while the phone is idle, but comparing to when it was stock).

I was wondering if it also have something to do with the modem? I am using the Rogers I317MVLALJ2.

and the kernal is

3.0.31 - 679347

se.infra@SEP-78#1

SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 10:26:24 KST 2012

When i was using the CR3.5, I do not believe I saw acore process requiring root. or even saw it at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Hmmmm acore never calls for super user permission. Its a system app so it kind of already has it so showing up in the log is a bit of cause for concern. Do you have any apps that you use a lot that utilize contacts or sms that might want root? like a different contacts app or messaging app because a bug in either of those could do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gfrt94yn:
Wrong, it's your contact storage. Not google contacts, just regular. To OP, try wiping the data (for contacts storage.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
I think i found what caused it. I changed the SuperSU android.pricess.acore to prompt so it would ask again for permission. Found out it was caused by GO Task Manager EX. Removed go task manager and everything appears to be normal.

If the problem persists, then I am going wipe data on contacts with Titanium backup.

On Battery Mix the android.process.acore droppes down to 50% hoping it would drop more by using other application as it all adds up to be 100% :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biRonic:
I just re-rooted mine (after losing it because of the 0.7.2 update), and now I'm getting this exact thing from SuperSU for this same process.

Is there any more info out there on this?

I don't want to keep something that's supposed to have it from having root, but I don't just want to grant it to whatever wants it either. Seems to me like a system app that needs root should know how to get it, and I shouldn't be able to deny it root anyway.

I do also have Go TaskManager though like the OP. So, I will remove that and see if it goes away.

If it does go away with the removal of Go TaskManager, what does that mean?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biRonic:
I just sent a support request e-mail to the Go folks. I will try to remember to report back here when/if I get more info on this issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
I have wipe the phone 3 times, but still have the process.android.acore.

i used twrp

wipe cache, wipe delvik, wipe system, wipe internal, factory reset

First time wiped but backed up with titanium back up.(along with go task manager) --- process.android.acore remained

Second time wiped but backed up with titanium back up also, wiped contacts storage also. WITHOUT Go task manager --- process.android.acore remained

But did not request root for process.android.acore, But by using Battery Mix. The process.android.acore still drains battery 80%+ usage.

Third time, wiped phone but WITHOUT backup anything. --- process.android.acore is still there

so i gave up.... but my battery is good after the third wipe.

But i am also using the newest perseus kernel with the Profile 5 settings. Not sure if it is because of the kernel that the battery is better but is still draining in the background.

I am using the newest Go Task Manager EX advance kill.. which requires root for the program. But it should be asking for the Go task manager root but instead of that.. it is asking for process.android.acore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skwerl23:
Unless you are installing a specialized hacker Rom. Nothing stock(fresh flash) should ask for super user ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biRonic:
That's what I figured.

So, do you have any idea what may be going on here?

Are we (gerazz and I) the only two it's happening to?

Other than the initial auto-reply, I haven't heard back from Go about it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerazz:
The process.android.acore shows up regardless. But it does.not require root if i do not use the Go Task Manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iStatiK:
I said contacts, NOT Google contacts...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biRonic:
I just got this back from the Go folks. So, it looks like we probably won't get any help with this one for a while...

I am having a problem with my custom rom. I was using FoxHound previously but their latest update i.e 1.9 didnt quite impress me, with much more battery drain than 1.7 and 1.8. Anyways I shifted to PA 2.54 now, but the Wifi does not detect any wireless other than the one in my room and it doesn't connect to that too, it asks for authentication, accepts but they nothing. It says "saved, secured ......."

earlier I had MIUI too, no WIFI problems. I installed stock JB today and it still had an issue but after a hard reset everything was fine. I flashed my phone AOSP too today, the same WIFI problem was there.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awkXda:
Hello to you all,

I've looked and couldn't find a similar thing happen to anyone else!

So, I have a X8 with locked bootloader and stock Ginger DX 29, and although it used to work fine, I now am experiencing this problem with my camera.

Basically, the camera button isn't recognized to launch the app from the homescreen for a start, and then if I do open it from the app drawer, I can see the image fine, but nothing works (accessing the settings, changing from camera to video, taking a picture, etc) and after a few second I get a Close app/Wait kind of dialogue and I'm back to square one.

this is annoying because I tried pushing older camera.apks that I knew worked with no problem, no change. I tried doing a factory reset, no luck, flashing gdx again from scratch (didn't try the SEUS reset because it's a pain to root again and all that, and gdx used to work fine) I've also checked that it wasn't a hardware problem by mapping the camera button to an action in snesoid and it worked fine.

I don't really know what to do from that point! I was thinking maybe it's got to do with my image folder on the sd card, or something like that since it's the only thing that stays there throughout the wipes? Anyone knows what could be at fault? It's annoying not able to use the camera!

Thank you in advance.

so, wiping the data didn't work, however I did two things : download a third party app and renamed my DCIM folder to another name, and one of them worked!

I'm suspecting the second one because as I tried my original app again, everything worked as well...

It must have been write protected for some reason, and that's why my camera app would be stuck at the begining I guess...

I'll try to copy my files back in the new folder that was created and see if it happens again.

Will keep it brief, Galaxy S3, phone works but black screen. Cannot see or do anything with it but can hear it working and see notification light etc. About to send it in to be repaired by Three UK. They have advised me it will be reset and lose all data. I obviously don't want that to happen but I've been either too (a) stupid or (b) lazy to back up before, take your pick which one.

Question is, is there any way I can back up now without being able to work the screen? Can I view the screen and control the phone on the PC somehow? I've searched other threads and found a mention of androidscreencast but it seems that is for rooted phones only? Mine is standard stock Three UK firmware, never been touched etc.
