Hello
I really need help guys as I switched my SIM PAYG to SIM PAYM!
I had payg normally I paid 15 pounds and I had 300 min 3000 sms and unlimited internet..I was surfing like crazy ..
And I found on 3 website that they offering same thing for 15 pounds but 600 min. 4000 sms and unlim. internet for 12 months..
So I happily jumped on this package ..
BUUT
After two days of purchase those f**in tos*ers they blocked me from surfing internet on my laptop..!!!
I was like WTF?? Didn' know what the hell is going on. I phoned 3 and they said that tethering is NOT allowed !!
fuu**k mee!?!?!!!?
So I went to store and phoning 3 they said that they can't do anything for me!
So guys am asking You :
Is there any way how to bypass this how can I hack this?
My phone is Galaxy S2
Thank You Very Much in advance!

Delete the tethering APN and use a software tether? Not sure if this will work.

You broke the terms so your paying the price. AYCE does not permit tethering only the one plan dies it's stated in the terms.
Give it a few days and try again but not sure if you can do anything as they would have logged it I guess.

Give it few days ?? noo defo wont help..

I can confirm the only price plan that will allow you to tether is the one plan which i have bout 30gig a month use-age for me
As a guess you prob just abused there network policy and wont let you do it for a few days if all else fails till the end of the month

Hello iEthos,Recently got the 3 network text 900 and with all data you can eat ,which is not the one plan and i can't tethering with my Xperia play,Is blocking me out every time i am trying it.I used several apps to try tether also the app above which they reccomned it to you at this threat, i have tried it to my normal firmware and the updated one, and also i have tried it in my ics 4 firmware which i got the guide from here,So when you said you put a different Rom and then it worked which one you put it? And If you do not know,Do anyone else know what solve this problem?

I was able to bypass the tethering block by using a user agent switcher.
You can find some more details on it here - http://gezby.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=69

You can't bypass the block, come plans (eg One Plan) specifically allow you to tether, ergo no block. Your plan clearly doesn't allow you to tether, ergo block. Deal with it...

If you use the User Agent Switcher then it works fine on my computer regardless of the plan.

Please help!!
I would like to bypass three (3) uk's tethering block. I have tried various apps and even user agent switching but still no luck. Please help.
Update: I can now bypass 3 uk's tethering block by using a user agent switcher but it only works in mobile web browsing mode, does anyone know how to get normal web browsing mode on a laptop working with tethering? Thanks.

What plan are you on? and doesn't the user agent switcher work at all?
I am using Chrome Beta and I don't need to install anything else to bypass tethering blocks.
I have a Nexus 4 right now though.

Hi mate thanks for taking the time and consideration to try and help me. I have now found away to tether on my laptop which was the problem but its only half as good because i have to browse in mobile web browsing mode not full laptop/pc mode. I realised my tethering works for other phone and tablets all except pc's and laptops. I found out that its due to the user agent, 3 blocks pc/laptop mode user agents so if you change your pc/laptops user agent to mobile web browsers agent then it works fine. Back then it used to work for me without using user agents about 6 months ago.
My question is how do i browse in full pc mode on my laptop? by using chrome beta? you dont need any other tricks?
Im on all you can eat data + 300 cross network minutes and unlimited texts for = £10 p/m.

Wifi calling? Does the amaze have it?

Just what the title says does the new Tmobile HTC amaze have the wifi calling app? I ask because Tmobile website does not list it. So anyone with the phone that can verify would be appreciated. ;-)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
yes it does, You will have to use the SIM card in the box or go get a new one for it to work. I had a less than half year old card and it did not work so I had to get a new one for it to work
Ok great so it does have it than. That's weird the website does not list that app for that phone. Is there any way you can show me a screen shot or video with the app in app drawer? Something.

I see no Wifi calling on my phone, and I didn't xfer a sim card, since I left Sprint.
also, it isn't listed on the webpage, though it is in the manual @[email protected]
yeah i dont see it on my phone either....
EDIT:
did notice under settings > call > down at the bottom it has "internet call settings" and has "use internet calling" with 3 options
For all Calls
Only for internet Calls
Ask for each Call
is this it?
OK, got some info. The Amaze 4G does not have wifi calling at this time, though HTC is working on an update that'll include it. No ETA for that update.
i wonder how crackeyes got his

Looks like it's because he had the version 1.35 firmware on his phone. The newer 1.36 version must have removed it.
Maybe there was a problem with it that HTC is trying to correct?
EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe there was is an issue with how the implementation changed between the Amaze and the Sensation. The Sensation used the "standard" method that the previous Android phones used, a WiFi Calling app, looks like HTC tried to change it up in Sense 3.0 and it may have caused some problems.
Yeah just got mine and It's got no WiFi calling eitherand I'm running 1.36.
How do you know they are working on that? Please inform us thanks

Talked to a T-Mobile tech, obviously they usually know nothing, but she read a legit sounding email memo, along with the fact that the previous version seems to have had wifi calling, and that our manual says how to connect to wifi calling, you would assume they'd bring it back after whatever they are fixing. (hopefully anyways)
have the new sim in my amaze and I see no sign of wifi. I noticed you have to set up the 911 address on the website, so I did and nothing. I wonder if I have to wait for tmobile to recognize it.
so what is the verdict here? is wifi calling present or not? also is hotspot working? i brought back the gs2 because hotspot is now blocked on it and it didnt have wifi calling
hotspot shows up, but when yoou connected via an outside device it tkes you to tmo's website and shuts off..

WiFi Calling is not there.
I tried to use the hotpot and my computer connected to the phone but when I try to open a website, it times out.

Internet connection gone on Go Phone

I have an import galaxy 2 so was able to buy a $50 all you can eat GoPhone package and have unlimited data for $50.
Its worked for six months, but since my last billing cycle, I've lost all data on the galaxy.
Weirdly, when I put the sim card in the AT&T brick phone I bought it with, the internet works fine...
whats going on and how do I get net back on the galaxy?
Is there a way they can ban internet on one particular phone? I always kept data under 2gb per month on my galaxy even though its ssupposedly unlimited.
thanks

They may have detected that you had a smartphone IMEI. Either that or it's something with the APN settings.
But can they just stop internet on ONE imei, and let it work on other cells with internet (what is currently happening now). I.e, I have internet on the brick phone the sim came with, but not now on the galaxy. I did tether it for about 10mb during last billing cycle, but as its import I dont think they can detect that.
Would phoning them and telling them the IMEI is for an import Pantech feature phone be a good idea (i.e one of the phones they allow with unlimited data)?
also, it is a british unit so they dont have the IMEI on their database,.

Probably not a good idea, just in case what you worry they did, they actually did. That would mean they have seen the sgsii and the pantech, and have recorded which one can use the internet.
Do that as a last resort. For now see if there are different apns available to use. Or even more so, try someone else's android, ideally an sgsii - global or local, with the apn you're using now and see if it works.

I tried the sim in an unlocked Nokia N95 and it had no internet... but, it didn't have the APN access route for AT&T internet on the list of options when I tried to connect... hmmm.
So you think dont call AT&T??
I've tried different APns too - and nothing !
any clue? I guess I have to phone AT&T.
Dont get it.... I called AT&T gave them the IMEI and told them it was one of their Feature Phones (but import model). They searched the IMEI and it didn't show up.
they said that there are no limitations on my account and suggested I bring it to a shop for them to adjust the net settings... obviously I cant do that with my galaxy or they will realise its a smart phone. Ive even just done a hard reset and still no internet!
Anyone have ANY clue what is going on?

Sounds like you should try different apn settings.

With Go phone plan you should have wap.cingular in your APN settings instead of phone

Just create new APN with any name and wap.cingular in APN, nothing else and put checkbox next to it. Also it may sound stupid to ask, but is there checkmark on Use packet data checkbox?
hi, so in Mobile Network Settings I have:
Use Packet Data - > TICK
Network Mode: GSM/WCMA (Auto Mode)
and in ACCESS POINT NAMES:
Just one optionL "Cingular 410"
which if I click on, has apn: wap.cingular
What am I doing wrong? !
ATT has ways to tell of it is a smartphone or not. Not by imei but by what the phone sends to the network when it connects. They have found a way to block data on smartphones unless you have a smartphone data plan on there. Your MMS as it is routed differently threw the message center will still work but any other type of data connection is denied by their servers.

****, so they've finally figured this out??
Hmm, is there a way I can roll it back? How come all the other dumphone plan ppl using these sims in their galaxies aren't having problems?
rats.
CAn you suggest a good data plan carrier in US for import Galaxy s2? I know the import units dont get full speed internet on Tmobile...
Do you have a walmart near you? I've heard people haven't had issue using smartphones on their straight talk phone phone plans. Cheap too.

Yeah I heard you can buy their nokia gsm handset and just put the sim in another phone, i.e the galaxy.
I'd be willing to try this i guess.
Just went into AT&T shop and they said they could detect I was using a smart phone so pulled internet. Their alternative for the same service was about 90$ per month.
The cell market is so different in usa compared to uk where I am from. There I can get unlimited everything for about 30 dollars a month on about five different networks. Here in USA it's a chore being even able just to buy a sim card by itself!

Instead of goig through all of this with AT&T why not try to use it on Simple Mobiles network. Since you imported it and its able to access the AT&T network, more or less, I take it that its unlocked. You could use it on their network and have unlimited data 3G=$50 or 4G=$60. Here's the link if you wanna check it out. www.mysimplemobile.com

With simple mobile I don't think it matters whether you have a smartphone or not because they have a plan specifically for Android Smartphones all the needs to be is unlocked and you'll have to change the APN setting but they explain all that on the site. Ill check into it more and let you know what I find.
Edit: Just called and they said your phone is supported and you will have access to talk, text and web.

If you would've read the fine print for the $50 unlimited data for the gophone, it does not support smart phones, you have to buy a seperate data package. I'm using h2o wireless pay as you go, no issues so far.

When I try to surf the web I get the error "No Network Connection".

I just bought my note from BestBuy today.
My phone will not connect to the internet, if I put the SIM card into my AT&T Samsung Captivate it works just fine.
Are there settings I am supposed to change?
First thing ... is this a LTE Sim Card?
It should be orange and blue with a globe on it, no wording no white...

They need to update your imei number on your account to your new device, and also change to the lte data plan. I've been trying since earlier and theyre systems are down for this as they are updating. I've been stuck on wifi all day. You can try , dial 611.
Systems was suppose to be up by 12PM est today... lol that's funny...

Systems were down updating since yesterday. I've tried 3 times today and they all tried but couldnt telling me systems still updating. I told the last cs rep like an hour ago, this must be an update of mammoth proportions. Had no idea what I meant lol.

They asked me what kind of SIM I had and I told them I had a 3G SIM so he told me he would have to give me a new SIM for the LTE and he did. The SIM is orage with a globe on it, and the top half is white with a long number on it.
He did call and I physically heard him give her my phones IMEI number however something could have gotten ****ed up because they made me buy a 2nd SIM for my other line because I was "cross upgrading" by upgrading MY phone by using an upgrade that was on another line. However, he sounded like he knew his stuff and since I heard him give her the IMEI number I cant imagine how things got twisted up.
And yes it would be nice to be able to login to ATT or call tech support to check but there isnt a damn thing I can do when the website is down and its after tech support hours.

You may be right, but what i dont understand is the dude asked me if it was a 3G SIM and when I said it was he busted out a brand new one for me. My old one has 3G right on the front, the new one does not resemble it.
Also when I did a google image search I found a lot of LTE SIM cards that look exactly like the one I have. However I did see a couple that were all a solid orange like the one you described but there was info to suggest my card was the incorrect one.

If I select any of the LTE packages (specifically the one I wasnt LTE Smartphone unlimited personal add-on) I get this error:
Just call, I'm on the phone with another rep right now that seems to know what she's doing. Who knows, I might get lucky tonight. But yes, we definitely need the lte unlimited data package and she also said it comes with visual voicemail for free so ask for that too for the same price.

Kinda weird to see people not being able to get unlimited LTE or having it say it expires.

My Moto E 2015 successfully connects using 4g lte without cell service

Not really a problem it's actually really cool but I don't know why I am able to do this I bought it brand new the from walmart its the 4glte Moto E -2 for Virgin Mobile and unless it comes with a sim inside already I never put one in I was just gonna use it around wifi cause I can't afford to turn cell service on yet. Without wifi being connected and without having put any information in pertaining to activating my prepaid plan with virgin mobile I never even put information in it lets me connect using data. It's picking up on the Virgin Mobile 4g LTE signal it even says so in settings but you'll usually be able to see the data signal picking up but it never actually lets you connect until you start a plan and insert the activated sim for the plan. But I'm able to download , browse, listen to music and do everything running off of 4g for free for some reason?
I thought since this mysteriously was working despite having not paid or signed up for service with anyone maybe using the built in phone would work too since in settings there was a phone number listed for the phone but when I try opening up the native phone app it then trys to get me to either sign in to my prepaid virgin mobile account and start a service and pay for it but if I exit out and just go back to using hangouts I can use the data capabilities just fine. Is this a glitch? Seems too good to be true especially cause I haven't done anything to the phone except take it out of the box no root no nothing. I almost don't want to root now in case it might somehow make it to where the data connection doesn't work anymore cause its super awesome being able to use my phone anywhere without worrying about needing a wifi connection and I didn't pay for anything o.o
If anyone else has this lucky error in your favor do tell cause I searched everywhere and I can't find anyone else having posted about it.
Phone was likely wrongly activated on someone else's account and will be shut off after they realize what has happened. Try to dial a number from the phone to see what number is used on it.

Your "situation" actually sparked a very lucrative business for me from July, 2015 to the present. An exploit in Virgin Mobile's 4G/LTE network (mvno subsidiary of Sprint) allows for Android enthusiasts well versed in telephony standards to purchase a Virgin Mobile Data Done Right smartphone from Walmart and, without activating the device, enable unlimited 4G/LTE data which can in turn be used with the device's native mobile hotspot. I have personally seen such devices being used now for 18+ months with no problem. For obvious reasons the exact nature of the exploit cannot be articulated here. I can say, however, that it is not unlawful to take advantage of an exploit that was not hacked or otherwise implemented by the user of the device.

Please explain. I am new to XDA. Have I improperly replied or have I violated a rule?

I think he's saying it needs to be closed because you're detailing a somewhat known method to get free data (and free calls, if using Hangouts Dialer or VOIP). I accidentally discovered this loophole last fall, after canceling service with Virgin Mobile. The latest build of 5.1 closes the loophole.
We are definitely speaking of different "loopholes." I've ran every build of 5.1, including the most recent, s.12, and it has had no effect on my connectivity. In fact, the network exploit I referred to has nothing to do with the Android OS itself, but rather the msm8916 baseband. I wasn't discussing any known method to get free data. Please don't take me the wrong way. I want to fully abide by the rules and regulations of XDA and I was only sharing my particular experience with 4G/LTE connectivity.

Weird. Anything newer than S11 and I have to activate the phone to get data to work (I reactivated briefly, then ditched the phone again). Reflashing previous firmware brings data back without an account. I personally don't have an issue with discussing this because I can't activate the phone on an MVNO like FreedomPop or RingPlus (which is what I wanted to do), and I don't really use the phone anyway.

Try cm 12.1 or cm 13 for Surnia. Do a clean install with or without Open Gapps. Then, flash the modem from any of the Android 5.0.2 builds. Let me know what happens.

Detailing this loophole is really a bad idea... more people will learn about then start to abuse it. In response we'll get higher prices and more locked down software. Not only will people abuse it, it may get patched. If you find something this awesome, your best to keep it to yourself and let others find it themselves.
Anyways here's an interesting article I found... http://bgr.com/2012/02/23/throttling-unlimited-data-plans-is-pointless-study-finds/
I am inclined to agree.....as the old saying goes: if you know of a good fishing hole, you don't tell everybody where it's at.

You can flash it with a full partition table from an original Data Done Right model. However, provisioning the UICC can only be done on an original Data Done Right device.

Someone with a rooted Data Done Right Moto G3 xt1548 can install Flashfire by @Chainfire and opt to do a full partition backup (dump). I believe there are 24 partitions including /system. They provide you with the files. You also install Flashfire on your device (if rooted) and opt to do a full restore. The app with flash all 24 partitions to your device. Included in the partition files are modem/radio firmware, carrier and config files. Your device will then mimic a Data Done Right xt1548 Moto G3.

Foxfi not working

When it calls the hotspot Verizon comes up and says that I need to subscribe. Is Foxfi working on this phone for anybody out there?
USB tethering through PDANet+, part/is FoxFi, works fine for me. The wi-fi doesn't work because I have the locked AT&T LG-H900 phone.
I have Verizon and I can't find anything to work.
Finally got it working.

On Verizon V10. Foxfi was working.. Now it won't start tethering. Gives me the error to contact customer service to add tethering. Anyone have any ideas on fixes.?
This guy claims a fix, but I call BS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63954959&postcount=130
Stop calling BS! Why do I need to lie?
Here's the story... I work for a Verizon dealer and noticed this app called DT_Ignite downloading useless games on everyone of my customers phones while I am trying to transfer their stuff. This software obviously is loaded by the carrier and has permissions to install software in the background without your permission. I disabled it from the minute I turned the phone on. As a result, my phone didn't get the push update that EVERYONE else on verizon got. Trust me I have had NUMEROUS calls and text asking why foxfi isn't working. Here is your proof.

I can test this on new V10's that haven't received the update due to them still being in my stores inventory to see if my theory is correct. All I am trying to do is help you poor unlimited customers find a way back in the game!

Could the security updates/certificates be removed by restoring to stock, and removing that app without Sim card?

I disabled DT Ignite from day one on the phone as well. Has remained disabled... And my foxfi died mid Xbox live stream. Don't get me wrong. All of us would love to see a work around! Please share if you have it working! Thanks.
