[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
Hi guys,

I'm sending back my iPhone 5S to Apple tomorrow (terrible battery life!).

I'm thinking of purchasing a Galaxy Note 3 when I get my refund through.

Now my only concern here is the fact I will lose the TetherMe application.

I'm on a 3UK PAYG plan for £15 a month and I get All You Can Eat data.

However, because I'm not on the One Plan I am not "allowed" to tether.

Please do not reply to this thread to say "solution: get the one plan" LOL!

TetherMe spoofed it to make it look like data was coming from your phone.

I actually got away with TetherMe for 2 weeks and they still didn't block me.

Is there an application on Android that will do pretty much the same thing?

I'm not just looking for a hack that enables tethering. I want to hide it too.

I understand PDANet has a "Hide Tethering" feature. How effective is it?

To clarify, if 3UK detect tethering they'll redirect all browsing to this page:

"Are you using your phone as a modem or personal hotspot?" Familiar?

I'd show you a screenshot of this precise page, only I can't post links.

Anyway, as crappy as the iPhone battery is, I will really miss TetherMe.

But I've decided I can't have a phone that dies every 4-5 hours either. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notegalaxy:
Well I've never had an issue tethering anything on Vodafone UK. Android has the functionality built in. But in terms of the block, I'm assuming it's looking at browser user agent. If you spoof your browser, (firefox has addons) that will probably work, if it's looking at protocols, you just won't be able to use bit torrent etc. Don't take my word for it though. Just a few ideas.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
TetherMe on iPhone worked without spoofing the browser's user agent.

Meaning to say I used it just as I would use any normal desktop internet.

Even downloaded windows updates and updates to Ubisoft games on it. ;)

I don't want to make my 24 inch PC screen load mobile pages for sites lol!

And based on the above I'm not entirely sure that user agents come into it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
I'm guessing they can tell with their own software. Maybe flashing a stock btu (non 3 branded rom). A mate of mine has never been detected by 3. He does use blutooth tethering mainly to save battery apparently. Not sure if this prevents the detection?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
To be fair, I don't know "why" TetherMe worked, but I do know that it "did" work.

I'm wondering whether anyone has had any luck with sneaky Android tethering.

I mean, on iPhone, the native tethering feature is enabled by default anyway. ;)

But try and use it and you get redirected to that page on their site. It's useless.

But with a jailbroken iPhone with TetherMe installed: that's a very different story.

I was delighted/surprised by just how much I got away with when using TetherMe.

There are a gazillion android apps and hacks to "enable" tethering.

But my concern is how many actually work without carrier detecting.

TetherMe works. But TetherMe isn't available on Android, only iPhone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Before I got the one plan and tethering part of my plan, I was tethering for well over year probably closer to 2 without any problems, despite it "not being allowed" as long as you don't take the p£&@ you'll be fine, from my experience anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingerdude:
Agreed, I'm on 3 UK and I can use the note 3 to teather other devices to and I don't have the one plan.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
Do you tether often? Are you a heavy user or just an occasional light browser?

Of course I'm a heavy user who likes to stream stuff like Netflix on unlimited. :p

Obviously my home internet isn't unlimited hence why I resort to the mobile. ;)

Also, is this with the native tethering feature or do you use a hack or a VPN?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingerdude:
Native WiFi hotspot in notes setting and light to medium rethering I would guess, mainly when our virgin router goes down ... So maybe twice a month but then it would be hammered for those times. :)

The wife tethered a whole season of sons of anarchy the other Sunday with no issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Just noticed your paying 15 a month for payg. Your not contract bound so why not pay the same 15 a month for the 1 plan (I'm on)?

It's a 1 yr contract, unless you can't get a contract?

2000 min 5000 text and unlimited data + tethering allowed!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
As I said above: "Please do not reply to this thread to say "solution: get the one plan"

I have my reasons. This post wasn't helpful. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Most, if not all UK telecom giants won't offer tethering on PAYG, for whatever reason they don't let us know. - There used to be a few apps around that can get around the tethering but when I tried I got the msg about 30minute disconnect etc. -- While you may have your reasons for not going contract, it would seem the One Plan is the only option that you can actually use for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
There are hacks that work. TetherMe is a classic example but TetherMe is only available on iOS. ;)

My reason for posting this thread were to find out if there was something like TetherMe for Android.

But yes, in terms of native tethering and hacks that don't work properly, yes, tethering is blocked. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Sorry missed that bit, hope my previous post was more useful ;)

Are you using a 3 branded rom or plain btu? Just wondering if that makes a difference
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
It will be a factory unlocked device, not a 3 branded device.

Not sure if that makes a difference, it doesn't usually though.

Is this illegal ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quiver2014:
No, it's not against the law. But it is against the carrier's TOS.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogeriopcf:
Hi guys,

I have a Note 3 and I'm using Three Mobile UK with All-you-can-eat data. Since the beginning of the year, I've been using an official Poland ROM, which was the first one I got with Android 5.0 and I just kept it because my tethering was not being detect since then.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to change my ROM with one based on the Note 5 and this was very good, but unfortunately the tethering have started to be detected. I've tried everything that I could think of, but nothing would hide the tethering from Three.

I got feed up with it and went to find out what Rom did I have before, which I did. I went then to SamMobile and downloaded the same ROM I had before, installed it and it the tethering immediately stopped being detected

All this say that according to my experience, the best thing to do is to install a foreign official ROM in your android if you want to hide your tethering. The Poland one works for me, but probably some others would work as well.

Once installed, you just need to change the language to English and that's it. Simple as that!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsisnametake2:
hi roger,

i was looking at the poland roms for the s4 to see fi it would work as you described. i'm also on three uk. which poland carrier rom are you using? there seem to be about 5 different ones?

cheers.

[Omni Features Development] dabl8:
On Linux one can run $sudo iwconfig to get details about the WiFi hardware. CM used to ship with iwconfig, but this has gone. I've built iwconfig from source in https://github.com/servalproject/batphone yet when I ran it on a couple of CM ROMs it doesn't give any info about the interface. The reason why I'm bothered about this is that in the past, I've seen Android phones showing 32dBm when queried via iwconfig txpower which is incredible: that's over 1W. Not only is it illegal but, possibly damaging for health, wasteful of battery and leaking my whereabouts further than is necessary. Pengus77 implemented a sys interface for the Kowalski kernel: https://github.com/pengus77/kowalski and I'd like to see this accessible via the WiFi advanced options.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
Two possibilities:

1) Illegal, damaging for health/hardware, etc.

2) Since Android doesn't use that interface, the OEM who wrote the wifi driver didn't test the txpower interface and it returns bogus data and does nothing.

I'm leaning towards 2)
[Omni Features Development] Pons:
I agree with 2. I haven't looked into this, but since there's legal issues here, that argues that there's some sort of inspection (like the FCC) that has to happen before consumer release. It obviously passed that to be allowed in the market, so it's probably just feeding bad/generic data, especially since it doesn't come with that app by default.
[Omni Features Development] dabl8:
You're probably right about the data being wrong. However the law is different in different countries. Last time I checked, in France the law is 10mW outdoors and there are restrictions in military zones; it's even less in New Zealand. So if I buy a phone in the U.S. and bring it to France I could be breaking the law. Therefore it surprises me that the OEM wouldn't test this. In Symbian it was possible to switch between 4mW/10mW/100mW in the settings but I've never seen this on Android.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
Android does it by sending a wifi region code to the kernel driver (which passes it on to the firmware in most cases). This enforces frequency band limits, and (I am assuming) power limits.

For example, if a device defaults to EU region, you can't see a bunch of 5 GHz USA channels until you change region code. (There's a reason why I'm the one that wrote the region code settings patches. :) )

I pulled my phone from my pocket earlier today and the screen was like this. I suspect I may have a dodgy unit but has anyone else seen anything like this ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dral29:
Is it always like that even when u boot the phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsl95:
No literally just happened now I've manage to get it back to normal but pressing around the edge of display however switching on off did nothing
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dral29:
Im asking you this because I want to know if it is a software issue or hardware issue. So if when u boot the phone you see the same green waves screen on top of the black screen and the samsung logos then must likely it would be a hardware problem...

so need to check the water sensors etc. If u dont see the green waves then just do a full wipe if problem persist try flshing an other rom.

Hit thanks if I helped

I think this hardware issue. You need send phone tk service center to replace screen.

Hi guys,

If I already have a mk2 verizon s4, would I still need to flash the mk2 modules after flashing a mk2 base rom (hyperdrive rls 14)? I have gotten both answers- Yes, flash and No, don't flash- and I am not sure which one is actually correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I'm also a Safestrap user and I ALWAYS flash the MK2 kernel modules. I'm pretty sure you have to, but I'm not positive. Like I said I always flash the modules and I haven't had any problems .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
if you are running safestrap, you have to flash the kernel modules for your specific build base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That would only be the case if you took the highly risky case of flashing over the stock ROM using Safestrap. If you flash to a non-stock slot, you must always flash the relevant kernel modules.
