Android VPN Problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i use vpn apps (betternet, Surfeasy etc.) on my lg g2 d801 for torrents. They were working fine until a couple days ago. I cant connect to any vpn app. For all vpn apps when i press connect it says connecting for a splt second and then stops. I get no confirmation prompts to connect either. I know its not my internet cus i used a couple other peoples wifi. I tried clearing the data for all the apps but no luck. Know any fixes?

i am also having the same issues with VPN's like better net and VPN defender.
i am using an HTC One M8 rooted, BL/unlocked, S-OFF and running SkyDragon Sense 7 port

Ever find a fix?

[Q] Wifi tether on LG Thrive

I just got a LG thrive, Im using my post-paid sim card from a Inspire 4G in it. Im trying to get the wifi tether working. I tried using quick setting but it crashes the phone. I tried using the hot spot widget but it also crashes the phone. I also tried using a modified apn from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980591 it worked on my Inspire 4G, but it either says "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of mobile hotspots" or " Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device go to att.com/mywireless" I have been searching and trying to figure out this problem all afternoon. On th stores demo thrive I was able to get it working after two minutes and only one crash. I have already installed pdanet, not sure how well it works on this phone since I have yet to test it, but i would really like to get the wifi tether working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone has to know something...

Anyone working on getting it to work for LG-P506 (LG Thrive)? Or know of any methods to get it to act as a wireless hotspot? I've tried Quick Settings and it restarts the phone but haven't tried Easy Tether yet because I don't even know if it enables shared WiFi and uses a USB connection to share it.
I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in. I haven't actually used the app yet because I usually use my iPad or galaxy and rarely use the laptop anymore. But it did work with the backflip and that phone is big time locked down.
USB tethering: Authentication was unsuccessful
I have the same problem. LG thrive says:
Authentication was unsuccessful
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enblement of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later.
and it is the same error for USB tethering or portable Wifi hotspot
Have anybody solved this? Any sugestions?

Google services not working after HC update

I have a BB flyer and upgraded from GB to the updated HC and everything was working, I have internet connectivity, but now I can't connect to any google services. When I try to login with my google account it says I don't have a reliable internet connection. I tried another account and its the same. It started when
I couldn't access Android market. When I would try to access the market it would tell me there was no connection and hit retry. I did a factory reset and when trying to loof into google services I get the error about no reliable connection even though I can get online with other apps. Anyone have advice on what the problem is?

Did you wipe the cache/data partitions when you did the update?
Yes I did. It was working ok after update and then stopped working. I flashed the Rom again through recovery and got it working again. Then after about 30min of using the flyer it stopped working again. Market keeps saying no connection with the option to refresh and gmail also says no connection. Internet works and my google acct works on my android phone so I know its not my account. It just stops working
after a while.
I can't even use google maps. It tells me there is no connection!

Haven't seen any reports of this issue other than yours.
Software is not generally intermittent or prone to aging failure so I would check for an external issue by connecting to a different Wifi source or resetting your wifi router.
Google services work on my other devices using the same wifi and I still have working wifi on the flyer with my wifi just not giogle services. It was also working before the honeycomb update on the same router. It only started happening after the honeycomb update.

Its working now after.clearing out a bunch of app caches. Not sure which one did it, but I previously cleared out the market and framework app caches with no luck.
I don't know what caused it either since it was a fresh install. How it keeps working.

[Q] WiFi Tether/Hotspot stability tips?

I am currently living in a dorm and my school does not provide internet access. I have been using my Razr Maxx (I am rooted and on the latest ota jellybean update) for internet since September. I have been using the stock Verizon hotspot app with my unlimited data plan.
I have tried many different settings and apps but it is very rare for me to keep a stable connection longer than one hour. What typically happens is that all devices stay connected to the network but non of them have internet access. When I look at the app the device names sometimes change to "unknown". I have been researching for a while and have found nothing helpful. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I know that WiFi tethering is not intended for such heavy use, but it is almost finals and I want to have a stable connection to get my work done.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas for making the best out of WiFi tethering features on the Razr MaxX?
What's up, man? I am bumping because I am having similar problems. I read that Verizon has installed some kind of way to prevent the Wifi Tethering apps with the new JB OTA update. I manually upgraded to JB with mattgroff's technique and immediately rooted.
FoxFi now does not work but Wifi Tether is just really unreliable now. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it quits working in a manner similar to yours about five minutes after reboot.
I was having similar problems I have always used WiFi tether for root users and suddenly had problems after the update well I found out that having multiple tether apps was the issue. If your stock tether works don't download any other apps, even from the play store.

I was under the impression (although I could be mistaken) that everything from wifi tether apps on the play store to the stock Verizon hotspot app doethe same thing with a few variations. I tried using PDAnet/FOXfi and all the symptoms seemed to be the same. It seems like an issue with the phone itself more than the apps that control this feature. But again, I've been wrong before.

Does it really make a difference? If so, why?
Not really sure how it does, just know that I was having similar issues and I uninstalled all other WiFi tether apps and it worked. Also I've read that if you boot into S.S. you can try wiping cache and dalvik and flash the ROM again. (Gapps if needed by the way). I've done that for any type of WiFi problems add well.

Is the server down or is it just me?

Haven't been able to see or change themes or log in or out since yesterday. Is the themer server having problems again or is just me?

Try switching to mobile data/restarting your phone/reinstalling Themer. One of these should work

Okay, well that seems to be it, switching to Mobile Data. But why? It's always worked before over wifi and nothing has changed in my Internet status or on my phone. Same internet, same cable modem, same router, same ROM with the same settings. And I've rebooted modem, router, and phone. What can I look for that could be blocking Themer beta from working on my phone (GNII) over wifi that has changed since 2 days ago?
Edit: Unless Google is hiding some kind of firewall tweak inside a recent Search or YouTube update, I'm stumped!
Edit 2: All other Internet services on the phone including T-Mobile wifi calling are working normally.
The issue to me is themer same thing data works fine wifi a pain in arse,as you say this has only been an issue over the last couple of days.Also now running very sluggish,everything else again is running fine over wifi just themer having issue
Problem solved, sort of: I've isolated the issue to my own Charter cable connection. It works fine on mobile or wifi data connection outside of my own location. In my Motorola cable box, if I go to the firewall settings, and change the firewall protection to "none," Themer works. But if I change it to "Low," it doesn't, even though I've always had it on "low." Guessing they pushed out an update or changed something on the backend.
Can anyone tell me what port (if not port 80) that Themer uses on the phone to connect to themer servers?

VPN Disconnecting

I have tried few different 3rd party vpn programs and they all yields the same result, always disconnects after 30 seconds or so, especially when data is being used.
I read that could be Verizon, phone specifics, openvpn, vpn program, and or android kitkat.
I had the issue on stock root rom and Jasmine rom.
Is there any way to fix this?
I'm using the non LG vpn. pptp. my vpn works fine on jasmine 3.0. I know it's not secure but I'm not doing any banking transactions or anything.
perhaps you could give more info as what your connecting with and connecting to, and what protocol.

I just use the default protocols and settings that comes with the app. Lets say Cyberghost vpn app. It would say connected, I open Firefox, go (any websites), in less then 30 secs it would disconnect and would try to reconnect.

Anybody know anything about vpn over 4g?

Been an issue for years. It happens on almost every phone with every VPN app when using Verizon 4g. It has something to do with the way data is passed through Verizon 4g. There is some kind of firewall causing it used by Verizon. I read you can fix it by paying Verizon a buttload of cash for a static IP. Other than that, there is no fix.
And it's not like they want you using one anyway since they track what you visit on their network and sell that information.
I'm on the Jasmine ROM and even stock I used the LG VPN to connect and it works.
I can stay connected all day with no issues.

I had a s3 with Verizon and never had an issue with VPN disconnecting like with the g3. I do not know being on 4.3 on the s3 and 4.4.2 on the g3 has anything to do with it.

Any simple ways to bypass the security lock screen requirement?
I decided to try it and could not get it to connect with the VPN service I am using on my desktop.
VPN worked perfectly find for me on my note 2 that was on 4.3.
I know there is an issue with 4.4.2 because my note 2 on 4.4.2 didn't work either.
Anybody have anymore leads? I am aware that the stock VPN may work, but it does not have the options of the VPN apps (I need to configure each individual profile/site).
