I unlocked my 8525 and flashed to the ATT wm6 found here in the upgrade section. When i try to connect i can go to medianet home page no problem. when i try to go to anything else like comcast home page it has a white screen and thats it. Like there isnt any info to load. I tried yahoo and it took me to its mobile page. But any site that isnt a mobile page it wont load. Got any ideas ? Im gonna flash back to wm5 but this sucks . what am i doing wrong? Please help!
What connection you use?
Using WiFi shouldnt have any issue.
My guess is that your connections settings actually are Wap based - this is causing the problem.
In case able to have straight GPRS connection everything should be ok
Best
That makes alot of sence. Thanks. Could u point me toward the gprs settings and how to enter them? Thank u very much.

I recently had to figure this out as well when I tried the TNT 2.0 ROM.

Just install the CAB file to you phone and you should be good to go.
Hey thanks! Ill try it when i get back in town. Is that cab the gprs settings?

Another issue is that most AT&T based ROMs have the proxy enabled by default. Run the disable proxy program (or edit the connection setting to not use the proxy) and see if that helps.

That's because AT&T wants you to access the Internet though MediaNET connection. If you are using MediaNET, you need proxy. If you access OpenDNS or just use some MyISP settings, you will want to disable proxy. It is a mismatch of connection and proxy that does it.

Of course you could just run THIS LITTLE CAB FILE and have it set all the settings for AT&T for you!
(Not mine. WPBear posted a Cingular Settings CAB file a long time ago. This one came a bit later and was posted IN THIS THREAD
After pulling out a few hairs !
I finaly took the sim out of another att phone and the internet worked ! SO i got another one of my phones and put in the sim and it worked again ! Now knowing that all this time it was our fearless carrier That had things not right on their end. I called ( for the third time with one visit to the att store ) and got someone that knew what they were doing and it worked. PFFFFFFFFFFFF!
Such is life. Thanks guys for your help.

I thought I saw a .cab file here somewhere that would allow you to bridge the 3G/EDGE connection to the WiFi connection so I can share my 3G over WiFi to laptop or whatever.
Anyone seen this? I cant remember the name, thought it was something like WMBridge or something.

internet connection sharing will allow you to share your 3G over bluetooth or USB to your laptop !!
and now that I think about it you can almost certainly go through the arduous and difficult task of getting activesync to connect over an adhoc wifi connection, once that is done you will be able to use the phone as a 3G modem for your laptop.

u can do it tht way but its hard, and requires a registry hack, which to be fair doesnt work all that well, disconns after a couple of mins at best, bluetooth is the way to go if u want wireless connecton, although i use the lead for security, u can use the 3g conn as a modem, but then if u like us use tmob wb and walk then u cnt use ur data package.
hope this helps

The app is called wmWifiRouter. Looks like they just came out with a new version the 10th. Forget bluetooth, its not secured at all, and only lets you share with one device. With wmwifirouter you can share with many. See the link below.

excellent that is exactly what I was looking for, I will play with it today and see if I can get it to work.

Should be a simple matter of copying the exe to your device and running it. It takes care of all the registry settings, starting up Internet Sharing, keeping the connection alive, and with the latest version you can even put the unit to sleep and your connection will stay alive. About the only thing it doesn't do is set up a peer-to-peer profile with a fixed IP address, but the thread above walks you through that. Make sure you set the profile to use WPA encryption (NOT WEP or 'open') and set a password.

The directions are confusing because the newer method was grafted onto the same thread as the older method. So it's hard to tell what's what. I put about an hour into this but made no progress. The exe file doesn't appear to do anything on the Athena...

Sorry, just saw your response as I wrote mine. Here is what I did:
1. set up an ad hoc network on my Athena. IP address 192.168.0.1 (another place saide 192.168.0.7--tried both)
2. Set up on my client (MacBook Pro). A connection was established.
3. Ran the exe file -- nothing happened. One comment said to deactivate the network before running. I did this in various degrees with no success.
4. Also opened up the Internet Sharing applet and tried to connect manually -- "USB cable is not connected."
Clearly I'm missing something here. It would be very handy to have this capability. Can you clarify??
Not sure why you are having a problem - I unzipped the zip, transfered the exe to the athena and it ran on the first try after first setting up the ad-hoc wifi connection (settings, connections, wi-fi, network adapters tab, IEEE..., use specific IP address in the 192.168.x.x range; then go to the other tab and set up an ad-hoc connection).
I had an even worse experience. Everytime I ran the exe, my Athena locked up, needing a complete reset each time.
I gave up in the end .
I have got other methods to work using Mortscipts, but it does seem like something that would be well worth someones time sorting out for the good of us all.
Have you tried the latest version of wmWifiRouter? The developer released a new version of it earlier this month. Its on version 0.8 now.
I'm seeing a registry edit to hack sprint tethering, does anyone know how to hack Verizon?
just use WMWiFi Router
I would love to, but this is the second time i am going to have to hard reset my phone after WMWifirouter jacked up my wifi. Also, it would be convienent for times that im at a pc that doesnt have wifi.

got into QPST and remove "dun" from your id.... can't remember what tab it's on in the service programming menu but it's there... also don't click the AMPS tab or you will be closing it out and starting over again.

Okay, Okay, i follow. Removing "Dun" from a serve string was exactly what i had to do on my voyager and other LG phones to hack the dun. I have had QPST installed on my PC before but never needed it because i used bitpim, so i uninstalled it. I didnt know QPST even worked for pocket PCs. I thought it was for quailcomm and LG phones.
so would i do it the same way? Hook my phone up to my pc and run QPST file explorer on my PC? Also, do you have a copy of it or know where i can download?
You should check out PDAnet. There is a website called warez-bb. They have all kinds of programs to download for free. PDAnet usually costs money but you can download it off of warez-bb for free.

I only deal with rated torrents from trusted sites. Thanks for the reply, but ive tried it and it doesnt work. I dont need a program to make a dial up connection on my PC using my phone as a modem. The problem was that you can dial out but verizon has a http portal page that pulls up saying that you need to buy the service. I needed a way to get into the service menu of my phone and change the outgoing server. Only, i didnt know if there was a service menu on this phone. But someone was nice enough to show me how to access it, and like my voyager, i just changed the string and now i can use free dun. No QPST needed.
Cheers to free tethering.
odd... I use ICS and big V has never caought on. want me to drop the cab I use here?
You can download PDAnet for free from their website. I use it on my Touch Pro and Blackjack II.
Thanks, i have ICS. I just needed a hack to bypass verizon.
Why would you use PDAnet anyway? just make a dial out account with the #777 settings etc and set your phone (bluetooth or USB) as the modem.
PDANet just runs as a app in your tray and you just need to right click and click connect. I have not tried any others really. I have just found this one really easy to use.

I am having an odd problem with my Optimus one. Internet connection is working fine for all the apps over WIFI, but when i switch to my EDGE connection, apps like Market, Mail (Yahoo), Facebook, Cnet, NDTV and many more are giving an error saying "Network error, Unable to retrieve error". I tested the mobile network settings and i am able to browse fine using browser app in my mobile. Looks like only my browser alone works fine using EDGE. I searched a lot but couldn't figure out the solution.
Note: I recently rooted my device and moved few apps to my SD card using Titanium. I am thinking if i have moved some important app which should be running in internal memory for the apps to retrieve data in EDGE networks. Before rooting i was able to connect to internet for all the apps both using WIFI and EDGE without any problems.
Please help. I am struck with this problem for over two weeks.
Thanks in Advance
im not sure if this will work but try this:
go to settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>access point names
there set the options that are appropriate for your phone
Yeah.. i verified that.. Thanks for helping. but i don't think its problem with mobile networks as i am able to launch all the websites using my browser apps. Its just that my apps are not able to use the mobile network i guess.

Ok, my workplace has a wireless network with an internet content filter called "optenet". I know the wireless network's SSID and Password. When I open my stock browser I can't access any web pages what-so-ever but I have found that by using the Opera Mini Browser that I can access all webpages. But no other internet apps will work (XDA app, YouTube app, etc.)
My question is... Is there some method of allowing my phone to completely bypass this filter? Whether I'm on the stock browser, youtube app, etc.?
Anyone...?

I would think that since your stock browser is running off the APN (carrier) that if you set up a new APN called "workAPN" or something like that and instead of putting in your carrier's proxy and server settings, you put in the settings of your workplace it should work. Get your wifi's ip address and see if you can pull the settings from there or buy the IT guy lunch and see if he'll tell ya.
Opera most like runs from a different mobile server to route you to the mobile pages and their links. The stock browser runs through your mobile network/wifi with those proxy/server settings.
I might be way off but sounds good to me. If it doesn't work, you can always just delete the workAPN you created. Might want to check into setting up a VPN too. Not sure how those work.

@Woodrube Also, how's that battery saving guide coming along?
Pretty sure if you put the IP address in your browser bar and hit enter, it will go to the router settings and you should be able to pull it off there. That is what I did awhile ago when I bought a wifi from a garage sale. Since you are on corporate, might be a little tougher b/c of security and such but I be it could be done. Check out this for a rough idea to get into the settings page.

You need to have another computer running a SSH server and this program connect to the SSH Server, and routes all traffic on your phone through the tunnel. Here is a primer on SSH Tunneling "howtogeek.com/wiki/How_to_Use_SSH_Tunneling" and how it works.

I have searched extensively on Google, and XDA but can't find the right answer.
I want to tether my phone. I can do this directly in Android but my current carrier brings up a message in the browser saying it's not supported on my current plan.
I'm addressing this, but in the mean time I'm curious if there is a way round it, hypothetically.
I have seen some Apps, such as ClockWork Mod Tether, but since my phone is rooted I wondered if there is a more elegant solution that doesn't involve any software to be added to my PC.
I read about using TB to freeze a specific App/Process but couldn't find any details.
Any advice would be great,

HOW have you not heard of android wifi tether? One of the first reasons I had for rooting the first Android phone I got.
There's also Barnacle Tether, available on the play store.
Guess Barnacle is gone... but there are other tethering apps on the play store though.
And I'm wrong again. Barnacle is still there, but doesn't show up when I search from my phone. How curious.
Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.
Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.

I appreciate the reply, but if you read my post again the issue I'm having is not an app to enable wifi tether directly on the handset, it's that the packet data is being detected as not from the phone so I get a message, on the computer, in the internet browser saying my priceplan doesn't include tethering. I cant get around this 3 website redirect. So, I need a way to tether, without the network knowing... The apps you mention work when the block is at the phone level I believe.... This is something different Three is doing..
Please correct me if I'm wrong though...
Oh, and as for the apps not showing up, the mobile phone providers asked google to block these apps for certain customers.. if you connect to a wifi network when in flight mode, and go the google market, you should still be able to see them...

I WAS on wifi.
And did you ACTUALLY download the tether app and try, or were you using the tether built into the settings of Android? Because it sure doesn't sound like you downloaded the app...
And I don't have tethering on my carrier plan, but the tether app works just fine for me.

Initially when I first posted I was trying the built in app but I downloaded the app you suggested anyway, but it didn't work. would connect to the computer but no data connection. Unsure if its an app problem or still a three problem, but I don't see how this app would fix the three problem. Does it somehow mask the PC data connection??? I couldn't see anything in the settings or set up that suggest that it would, it just looks like a more feature rich wifi hotspot app?? In addition I found mention that that others with my issue have also tried these apps like barnacle and it didn;t resolve the problem....

They can suspend your service if they discover you are doing tethering on your device if you are not alowed in your current plan.
I Hope you wont have any issues.
Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?

Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?

yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do
It can't be a sim lock.
I just tried tethering a Macbook, and amazingly that worked!.. SO, It must be something to do with the Packet Headers I'm guessing.. Or they are doing some other more detailed packet sniffing... It means there is definitely a software route around it... Need a clever developer to read this thread
I guess clockworkMod Tether might work, but I want a solution without a PC install..

That doesn't make any sense. If it works with a mac book, it should work with your windows machine too. Unless your windows machine has some kind of proxy?

no proxy.. I'm as confused as you. The headers are different on a mac though, Unix based system... Need to know how 3 detect at a network level its not phone data... this difference with a mac must be a clue...
pda net 3.50. Had to install pc software.. Is a USB tether solution.. but it works, so will do, until I get my price plan sorted.... Still would like a more elegant wifi solution though.. Come on you clever devs, .... SCRATCH that :-(((( It worked for 5 mins, now it comes up with same message in the internet Browser.. damn it!!! three are too smart :-(

They are blocking the port 80.. they sent you to their walled garden page. I think its on your provider proxy side now

Is there a way around this. What do you mean by, on the provider proxy side?
Shortly after PDA net stopped working, I was also getting the three message on the browser directly on my phone.. after about an hour, my phone web browser started working normall again :-(

When you use thetering, you embark to the provider internet network.
for example my provider is Bell Canada and their proxy is web.wireless.bell.ca
this one is for the device internet
for the thetering one they use another configuration settings when i connect my device to the computer.
What happen is when you plug your device to the computer, a signal is sent to the provider stating you entered in thetering mode. You don't have access to thetering so your internet connection is limited to the walled garden of the provider stating you are not subscrided to the service. Thats why i think they blocked the port 80 on your device and redirect you to that page.
Now for the Macintosh story.. It is not impossible that you can connect without problem with a mac and safari. I know a lot of people emulating a handled device with the Mac and the safari browser and those peeps didnt had a thetering plan.
The differences came with the drivers installed. Mac OS one are quite different in term of functionality than windows, thats why maybe the provider is able to sniff more easily people using windows but i am not a senior programmer. I am currently taking courses to become one but for now it is only suppositions. If i am wrong feel free to correct me but I am quite sure about what i am saying and that's why you dont have issues with a mac

This sounds correct to me. I'm pretty annoyed though. Only had the contract a month, I was told I could move onto a more expensive plan within contract if I needed more allowance etc.. Phone up 3, not only do they not let you PAY MORE for a different plan, but they also don't let anyone shift onto the one plan ever, unless its a new contract.. So basically **** them... so even if I want to pay extra for tethering I can't... absolute nonsense...
I had the same issue with three. I downloaded masqued crusader from play store. Activated it and then started wireless/usb tether. It worked. That was a while back tho. On a payg sim card on a galaxy s on gb. Its worth a try though.
