why mobile version websites

Just got the EVO. I don't understand why the browser goes straight to the mobile version of websites. Is there a way to change this?

go to settings in the browser and untick the "mobile view" option
Most sites detect the browser and redirect automatically.
Mobile view just formats the page for better viewing, it won't stop the mobile version of a page being loaded.

Why don't you ask in the EVO forum then? Of course, it doesn't really matter because it's not a browser issue but a website provider issue, but then again I don't see why you have to mention your brand new EVO.

[REQ] Ad Blocking on MIUI FascinateMTD

Hey, just a quick question. How can I get ad blocking back on this rom... tried different host files with no luck. Any help will be great. I'm running MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1
have you tried ad blocker on android market?
Yea, no go

ad blocker seems to work for me what app is it not working in??
I use wireless tethering and theoretically the ad blocking should carry over into what I do on my PC but its not.

No it shouldn't, that's not how host files work. Host files is for local (i.e. that specific machine) lookup only, before it asks a remote DNS server. Your tethered computer will never go anywhere near your phone's host file.
If you want to block ads on the tethered computer, you could always block the ads in that computer's host file. Or use AdBlock in the browser. Or find some way to manually configure the phone's iptables install to drop those connections/reroute them (an overly complicated "solution").
Thanks! Ended up just doing a Firefox Add-on

Same here ad blocker acts like it works (installing new host) but I still have ads everywhere.
AdFree App... Hidden in the words
After you update your hosts file the app CLEARLY says..
Your Android device should now be AdFree, however you might need to reboot to clear your DNS cache.

Judging by the 15k 5 star reviews.. you might be missing something..

Exactly how is it not working? What makes you say that? More information might help us track down any issue you're having.
Those things won't block all ads, because it only blacklists certain domains. Any ads built directly into the app (i.e. that the app doesn't have to fetch from a remote server) won't be blocked. Ads from smaller ad networks might also not be blocked, as well as many ads on websites (often blacklisting based on the host file can't block the ad without also blocking legit content).

I'm running the same setup (MIUI MTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1) and my wireless tether will connect, but not pass any data. What radio are you using?

The native hotspot doesn't work. I'm running Wireless Tether 3.0 beta... once installed you will need to go into the apps settings and change the profile from Auto to Fascinate.... For some reason there is still a unresolved issue with utilizing the AP over Ad-Hoc. So you have to stick with Ad-hoc.

WiFi hotspot

Just spent a month in asia, and it's great to be back! I see there's been quite a bit of development
Anyway, I'm currently staying at a place with no internet, so I'm trying to use my phone as a hotspot. It was working great last night, but it suddenly stopped working while I was downloading a video. It took me to the dreaded upsell page. I was using the apn change method, and I've tried resetting the apn and rebooting.I've also tried the android WiFi tether app with and without Hasoon's method. None of them seem to work correctly. What's funny though is that I can use the hotspot to access google websites, such as gmail and google search, and even facebook. But almost every other site is redirected to the upsell page.
I'm on stock ics. Any ideas?

Apparently T-Mobile have found a workaround as well, a buddy of mine complained of the same thing, we tried everything possible, same issue, therefore they probably blocked it.
Have you tried setting your user agent on the computer to android? It is possible that they are doing some kind of deep packet inspection down to the HTTP header level to filter outs stuff.
Stupid T-Mobile.

How to remove "Internet connection requirement" from Android apps?

Hi, I have an app which looks like the developer has removed their servers so it always fails the "internet connection" check.
Its IONROAD. A AR driving app.
I paid for the PRO version so its all good. I use an older version not the latest as I hate the latest version.
99% of the app is using the GPS or the camera. It does check the internet for the weather and a few little things.
I've tried it at home while connected to wireless, in the car while connected to Mobile Data, I've uninstalled, reinstalled and updated and all versions fail the internet checks. To me it looks like they closed their servers so the app refuses to work without the internet so it will never work again.
What I want to do is remove that internet check so it will keep working without the need for their servers. If it never connects to the internet it doesn't bother me. I dont care for the current weather in a AR driving app, I care for how close the car in front of me is or if i'm drifting out of the lane I'm in. Absolutely nothing to do with the internet so how do I remove that check?
I have the APK, trying to get it into the Android SDK and not sure how? Even if I do get it there what do I remove?
All I want is that internet check removed. As I said I paid for the app so the licence check always passes as I paid for it.
The dev has abandoned the app, they refuse to reply or update. As they closed their servers I'm guessing they totally abandoned the app.
Any help what to remove and how to remove it? Is it an easy unzip, edit a file then zip and reinstall? Or is it a complete import into SDK, rebuild, test, etc and make a whole new app?
I'm not sure what or how to edit it.
Thanks
BTW, Here are links to the apps. (if the link doesn't work use the txt below it. just add HTTP: to the start)

It is not a simple matter as it would require ripping the app apart and searching through smali code for the server stuff to be removed. As that is what it is doing. It uses their servers to send the weather and a few other things. Now that their servers are off you can bet that it wont be working for long as it will also use other info for things connected to the gps.

The app refuses to work completely. As soon as it loads up it says there is no internet and closes. Thats why I want to remove the need for their servers and internet.
I was hoping there might be some sort of offline mode built in I could enable or remove the "no internet connection" error so it never fails.
Go have a look at the app and you will see you cant do anything as it fails the internet check when the app loads. As they have closed the servers then they have abandoned the app so we can do what we want with it as they obviously dont care about it anymore.
The problem I have is its the best AR driving app there is for android and as they abandoned it there is nothing to replace it with as all the others are crap.
Hi, similar problem to the GoPro app where internet connection is required. I would also really like to remove the internet checking and although the app is free are we getting in to the areas of cracking?
Please update this if you get somewhere.
Xposed mod anyone?

Just because they abandon it doesn't meant that they might not throw a fit at having it edited. I'll take a look at the decompiled apk. I have a feeling that everything it does will be tied to the servers so even if we did stop it from checking the servers the stuff you want might still not work.

Great thanks.
When the app worked it was mainly GPS and camera stuff, It would get the weather from the server and it does keep a log at the server so it will send a result at the end but while your driving I doubt it does anything with the server as I've been to some places without phone reception and it still worked fine.
Maybe there is only a check when it loads up that we need to remove?

Not sure what happened? the link did work. Here are new links. Oh, the forum changes the links and breaks them.
I could have more luck if I knew what apps to use.
How do you decrypt apps?
What should I edit and look for when its decrypted? (I'm guessing a link to the website or something like that?)
How do I encrypted it again and pack it back into a working APK?
I've tried a few apps and had no luck.

There are tons of tutorials on how to decompile the app. You will need a pc. As for what to look for. That is hit or miss really. As it is in smali and not Java. Also there could be safe guards that if the code is removed then the app won't work. Also some apps can't be decompiler at all as they self destruct if they are.

Anyone having a go at seeing if they can remove the connection to internet requirement?
I want to keep using v1.6.3 but I did find v1.5.1 works with only a random internet check. For my last 10 min drive it checked 3 times but I did do a 15 min drive and it never checked the whole time.
As their servers are down it will always fail if it checks.
If you know where to look you will find all different versions. I wont post where but they are available. 1.6.3 to me is the best, its the most stable, has the best features but its got the internet checks which need to be removed before you can use it as it checks at the start and closes as it cant connect to their servers.

No I mean if you use it with gps only the app should not try to connect with the servers because it checks the network status to see if there is internet connection...

the app always tries to connect to their servers at startup. as they closed the servers it always fails and the app closes.
if you turn mobile data off it also fails and closes the app.
we need to remove the check so the app will work again.

This isn't simple.Even if we remove the permission the code of the app will try to access the internet and it will fail. but i will try it
