So I've had this issue ever since upgrading my galaxy nexus to 4.2.1 and it is driving me insane!! I have installed Ad-Away on my phone but when I have non-CM based ROMs installed (AOKP, JBSoucery, etc....) the ad blocking works fine on WiFi but doesn't work at all on cellular data. With CyanogenMod installed ad blocking works on WiFi and cellular data perfectly. I have tried a full wipe of everything, clean installs of ROMs with nothing but Ad-Away and one app with ads and no luck. Is anybody else experiencing this or does anybody have any ideas on a possible fix? Or could anybody point me in the direction to start researching and I'll try to fix it. I'm just at a loss for what to do.
I did post this in the GNex forums a while back but nobody really had any ideas. I've also tried other ad blocking apps with the same results.
Thanks for any help!
FIXED!!!
I finally figured it out. There was a proxy set in the APN settings on any non-CM ROM and apparently ad blockers don't like that. On WiFi it didn't use the APN so no problems there. Apparently the APN's on CM ROMs don't have a proxy set. That's also why it isn't as widepsread, because each carrier has a different APN setting. Hopefully if anybody else has this problem this post will help!

I don't know if this is the right section or not. Its a question so I assume this is right.
I have a droid eris flashed to cricket with eris lightning 3.02, running fw ver. 2.1. Everything works except after I start wireless tethering, the market always says there is a network problem try again. The only way to fix it is to restart my phone.
The market works before I start the tethering, tethering works fine. Even after killing the tethering app everything else still works, other apps can connect fine, it is only the market.
I have been looking around but cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. Its not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance I want to get fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks!
Have you tried Google Talk after running tether? May not be related to your problem, I just know there is a dependency.
Thanks to all involved with CM9 touchpad ROM. For most part, ROM is working great. However, I see an issue with Proxydroid app. My CM9 crashes as soon as I start Proxydroid app. It used to work fine with CM7 and XRON. Has anyone else seeing similar issues? Is there a known fix for this issue?
I have the same issue. As soon as I try to connect with ProxyDroid, it restarts the device...
on CM9 alpha0 for TP
I fixed my issue, with a clean wipe of the Touchpad. Then, i reinstalled everything and proxydroid works fine now.
I am having the same issue. IS there another fix other than wiping and re-installing?
Proxy Droid was a hit or miss for me. I ended up having to wipe and even then I could not restart the touchpad while it was on a proxy network.
That being said is there any reason you cannot use the built-in proxy settings of ICS? They work well for basic settings. No proxy pack support but using the direct address works wonders.

Click to collapse
That works great for http, but not for apps on many corporate networks.
First, let me say I searched threads and forums looking for someone who had same problem and could not find any posting similar. The only one I found that similar was about the APN. I created a new APN using the settings I found in that thread, but it has not helped at all.
Got a pop-up/update message on phone yesterday about upgrading to ICS. I was running a stock HTC Amaze - not rooted - on Simple Mobile, and it was working great.
Upgraded phone to ICS OTA and love the new interface but having two problems, even after setting up the phone to run on the Simple network.
1. Phone is slow and will only run/display 2G whereas it used to be fast and say 4G.
2. Wifi tethering seems to be gone as it will not allow a tethered device to go to the page requested. (I have found threads about how to address this issue, so it is not a big concern like to 2g/4g speed issue.)
3. My android smiles are gone now......all I have are normal smiles. :-(
Any suggestions on what to do would be GREATLY appreciated.....
under mobile network settings, set your network mode to wcdma only.
I don't know much about the tethering issue, been on custom roms for a while, but apparently its a paid feature now. unlock your phone and install a custom rom, and you wont have that issue anymore
Could be a bad flash, though it doesn't really sound so, just sounds like they restricted a few things on other networks.
Fixed and working great....thanks sent to both who posted replies!!!!
Glad to see you got it fixed. If you don't get MMS, make sure you change your APN to the Simple Mobile APN. T-Mobile and Simple Mobile has slightly different APN settings.
This is my first post here, so I made sure I checked the forum for previous issues that may relate to my problem, to no avail (nothing that matches exactly).
Basically, I can't tether anymore, it was working fine last week, but now my other devices will connect, but with "Limited or no Connectivity" (Laptop and iPod Touch). I have a data plan and tethering access through my provider (Rogers in Canada)
Here's is what I have:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Rooted (TWRP installed)
Custom ASOP 4.2.2 ROM installed (DEODEX)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376)
Custom ASOP Kernel
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342298)
As of this morning, tethering has ceased to function, as stated above, I can enable and my devices can see the network, but they will never acquire internet access after connection, even though I have full signal and the phone itself has internet access
Please note, tethering was working on this ROM (but not the kernel) last week.
I would post this in the ROM thread, but I’m unable to do so as I cannot post in the developer board until I have 10+ posts under my belt
Bump (Update)
Anyone else out there encountering this issue?
I have been trying to figure out the root of the issue ever since my original post, but still not too much further. Seems that as soon as I revert to my touchwiz ROM, all works as it should, but any custom ROM I try (and I've tried many), tethering does not work. I have verified the APN settings are the same on the touchwiz version (stock ROM) and the custom ROMs that I've tried todate, very frustrating and I can't seems to find anyone with the same problem. I even call Rogers and had them remove and readd the tethering flag on my account, to no avail.
Howdy,
Found the solution to my tethering issues, simply go to the Play Store and search for this app:
ISWAT Tether Unlocker Free
There will be a rather obnoxiously loud app that will play before it performs the operation to unlock your tethering, but afterwards, it works as it does with the stock ROM. You're free to uninstall the app afterwards and you'll retain your tethering abilities
Help I'ma heavy tethering user. Ever since I change to 7.1 my data connection keeps losing packets compare to those 6.0 ROMs.
Is there any solution to this or any specific 7.0+ ROMs out there?
I tried changing frimwares, kernals, locking service to 4G only, different locations. nothing works so the issue here is the ROM baseband I think
Hello anyone have any idea? Currently I downgraded to mashmellow and everything works fine.
