I just switched from Sprint to Verizon this week and I have discovered that Verizon and torrenting don't seem to go hand in hand.
There seems to be two issues:
1. After downloading a torrent file and opening it up in an appropriate program (say uTorrent for example) it wont connect to any peers. (or so I hear from those who have attempted this, not me of course)
2. If Verizon finds out that you are torrenting, they will rain all sorts of hell down upon you.
I'm wondering (strictly out of curiosity of course) if there is any way to mask the fact that I'm torrenting (of course only hypothetically, I wouldn't torrent, that's illegal apparently)?
Additionally, if I were to tether my computer through my phone, would they still be able to tell, and is there any way of masking that as well (again, strictly hypothetical)?
Thanks

Two things come to mind that prevent torrenting from working on Verizon.
One is the ToS say we can't use "peer–to–peer (P2P) file–sharing applications" as this would degrade the service. As for using your computer and trying I doubt it will do any good since the your still using Verizon's wireless network. It's probable Verizon might have measures in place to detect and block torrent activity (and specific other activity they don't allow on there network).
Second is that you probably have a private IP address and not a public one. Unless you pay the $500.00 fee to get a public IP address you are assigned a private IP address... Because of this it is not possible for anyone to connect directly to the device. Depending on where you go for your torrents (and the BT client configuration of whom your connecting to) if your not connectable then you won't be able to download...
As for hiding your activity you could possibly run an encrypted VPN connection of some kind and see if that helps. If you have a home computer you might be able to set this up easily, but the reliability and download/upload speeds would be limited to the internet connection of the VPN server.
I've been torrenting and tethering daily for the last 2 years with no problem.
Thanks

Thanks for your response, this leads me though to two (new) questions:
1. For some reason when I was with Sprint, I had no problem with this, which leads me to wonder if it cant be managed with Verizon as well.
2. Are there any good methods for running a VPN directly from my phone, and will it indeed hide my activity from Verizon?
Thanks again

Thanks, I guess I'll keep trying then, Although I found one way to get it to work. If I start the torrent while my phone is connected to my home wifi (which is not as fast), and then turn off the wifi on my phone, the torrent will keep running fine. It seems as though (for me at least) I cant connect to any peers while on my phones internet, but once connected it will download just fine.

Can you shed some light on how you are able to do this? What torrent client works for you? Is there any special configurations/roms/etc. you have installed that make the torrent client work?
Are you running a BT client on a computer tethered to the mobile device?
.... I tether and torrent like a mad man. Use private trackers like bitsoup.me and force encryption.. Disable local peer discovery and dht and your fine.

I'm just running Eclipse 2.0 and using Ttorrent. But the ROM shouldn't have anything to do with it. Not sure why it wouldn't work, I've been using ttorrent since my droid incredible days.
As far as tethering goes, most Roms will have the built in tether app working out of the box. If not, the WiFi tether app found from Google code works well.
I tether and use atorrent on my phone and utorrent with no problems

Hi,
Here is a free application I've developed for Windows Mobile 6.x.
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
It's basically a web server (and FTP server) that runs on your device so that you can browse its content from a web browser. No software install computer side.
It works either with :
-a WIFI connection,
-an USB connection (Windows Mobile Device Center or -ActiveSync needs to be installed and Advanced networking functionnality must not have been disabled on the device)
It serves mostly html pages, but for pictures browsing under Internet Explorer 7/8 it will show a .net/WPF/3D based UI that brings support for multiple file upload (any file type, not just pictures)
Now available on the English-US marketplace :
Basic version (free) :
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/details.aspx?appId=46773904-92eb-498e-8e23-24578de7e9d4
Premium version :

just played with it for a minute - really freaking cool. Phenominal concept.
Is it possible for this to work over 3G? In my area, the 3G connection is ridiculously fast.

That would be indeed good.
I did nothing to prevent incoming request from connected network interfaces.
This means a connection could come from WIFI, usb with advanced networking enabled, or 3G. (note that it always ask you to authorize the incoming connection)
But that will probably not work with 3G, because most mobile network operators don't provide a public IP address, but a private IP address with a NAT routing system. No way to etablish a connection from another computer on the internet. (It can be possible only from another device in the same operator network).
Maybe there are some mobile operator who provide public IP addresses to their customers, in this case, this should work. But I'm not aware of any mobile operator doing that
This is also the reason why there haven't been massive ownage of jailbreaked iphones with ssh enabled with alpine root pwd! (until a few weeks ago in a specific mobile operator network)
Anyway I will probably build an azure based service someday (if there is enough demand) to provide some sort of relay to make this feature possible. But I won't be able to provide it for free, since windows azure hosting is not free. I'm thinking to do that to enable SMS sending/reading from a computer anytime, as Exchange 2010 does.
a login system would be able to take care of that.. but would require a public server to translate logins from the phone and their 3G IPs to the PC side of it..
Just food for thought
looks cool.. have linked to it from here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/11/20/wifi-remote-access-explore-the-content-of-your-windows-phone-from-your-computer-using-wifi.html
looks good,will try it later.
I must say, this is one nice app. Great beginning and looking forward to future updates.
Awesome.
Great Work.

you mean, the phone should connect to the user computer to etablish direct connection over the internet? (since the opposite is not possible)
sure, that is possible but it would need a software running on the user computer and it will not work for people behind a NAT or firewall. They will have to configure their nat/firewall to allow incoming connection to their computer.
So, there's no easy solution , except using a server to allow communication between the windows mobile device and the computer, which would cost me money to operate. But I don't like the fact that the users data would transit to my server. It would be a big responsability, security speaking. Thus, I'm still thinking about it.

the application is free and the final release (available in a few days) will be free too, but the current beta is time bombed, because I was afraid to lose control in case there would be a major bug in the beta : there is no auto update system, and I know some people already put it on rapidshare, that's why I put a time bomb in the beta version.
However I'm thinking to sell it on the marketplace (French and US) for 2$, because this application is a lot of work... but it will still be available for free outside the marketplace.
So, if you like the final release, you will be able to pay for it if you want to support me!

I think you can do this via 3G using openVPN for the windows mobile. I don't see why this wouldn't work.
I'm getting a 403 Error Access is forbidden no matter what password I'm using. I even try the preview on the device and still get the error.
I have a Raphael (Fuze) using WiFi
works great!
Great program! I'm getting an error message that it's not finding some of the files on my storage card, but when I type the directory in manually it works. Maybe it's because my music files are in "My Ringtones" and not "My Music"
Ok, this may be a stupid question, but which of the IP addresses do you use? It shows 2 on my phone.
Not that it really matters - both of them time out on me

Nice, I didn't think about that!
You could indeed connect via 3G using a VPN solution, if you have a VPN server at home and the appropriate routing configuration (or use the windows VPN creation assistant), it will be the same as if the device is directly connected to the local network, thus it should be reachable.

I am using encryption and have access control on, and that's the only changes I made if I recall correctly. I have hardly used it, just wanted it set up on the phone so I'd have it in case of an outage because I only have 3G here. But I was able to connect to it from a tablet and browse to the Google website.

Can't complain about that.
Using Open Garden WiFi Tether (encrypted), BAMF 2.1, loaded the new radio earlier and it's working fine.
Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 and today's radio, wifi-tether 2.0.8-pre1 works fine for me, but 3.1-beta1 does not work (it seems to be a wifi connection issue, not an LTE radio issue)
Distinction between Hotspot and wifi tether
Can we make a distinction between the built in Hotspot app and the Wifi tether?
I can use Wifi Tether with the new radio but I can not use the Hotspot as it tells me to contact VZW to activate it.
The question I think for me is this... Is there any way to use the Hotspot built into the radio when rooted or do you have to revert back to old rooted rom and the old mr1 radio (original radio)?
Wifi tether is working fine for me on the new radio as long as you set your screen to never lock.
I had better results with easy tether though via usb. Both seemed to work though. I'm running cm7 rc1.2

Using 3.0 pre14 and it works on my end. I have "Routing Fix: Enable Routing-Fix (for HTC Devices)" selected.
My tethering was not working on the new radio...restarted a few times and now it works....I love it when things fix themselves, but I hate not knowing what was wrong
No go for me...
I am still on BAMF 1.6.3 at the moment because it has been so stable.
I can understand why the official VZW Mobile Hotspot app no longer works (without paying for it) because they are now charging for it.
However, I would love to know what sets that app apart from something like WiFi Tether. I have tried just about every version of that app, up to and including the new 3.1 Beta, and it just will not work for me. Neither my Xoom or my iPad 2 will connect. I do not understand how it works so well for others and not me. When I could get it to work, it would connect for a few minutes tops, and then the up/down counters would reset to 0 and my tethered device would drop.
What makes the native VZW mobile hotspot app so inherently more stable? I have a separate VZW 4G "MiFi" device I pay for and use, but there sure are times when the convenience of it on my phone would be nice, just not $30 a month nice.
If anyone has any ideas on what I could be doing wrong, please let me know. I think I am going to try BAMF 1.8.6 and a new radio, but I am not holding my breath.
Thanks,
-Rob

Unfortunately I do not believe this is Verizon's "Mobile Hot spot" .. This was inherently part of the functionality of the phone as it was built.
Verizon basically pushed another version of the wifi hotspot down that disables it unless it checks and validates you are paying them $30 a month.
The facts are they were sued back in the Motorola V710 days for crippling Bluetooth and this is no different.
They were sued also for crippling the GPS on the Samsung omnia when they were trying to make people pay for their Navigator.
Give it some time and they will be sued again.
In the meantime I am just going to keep using wifi tether for free and if they want to end my service contract ... so be it.

CM7 and 2.5 radio -wifi tether not working
The MR 2.5 radio caused several WiFi tethering apps for root to not work. I went back to MR 2 radio and it is working again.
I'm using CM7 RC1.3
I spoke too soon. With the MR2 radio now tethering still fails to work. Device can connect but they act like they fail to receive DNS entries and connection to the Internet never works. This might be due to Verizon's check to see if paying for tethering is on?
Im using MR2 OTA not the leaked one. Works fine for me. Mobile hotspot is dead do to the account check . Only thing ive noticed is a Nat issue. All will connect and run fine. but if i try to join a VOIP host lets say i cant. Gives me a Nat issue error. But all else works fine and has from day one. If you keep having a issue id reflash everything. Ive had problems going from one verison of a tethering app to another. Prolly due to the loaded configs. Ive got 3 TBs i test on and they all are on diffrent roms (same MR2 OTA radio though). But Back to the Nat Issue. I have OGdroids that do not have the NaT issues my TBs have. So its Rom or Kernel issue and not Tower Side. As far as i can tell anyways. Sorry i cant help more.( and you might try Dling a Fresh copy of whatever tethering app you use. Or try Barnacle and tell it not to load configs
I'm having intermittent NAT issues as well, including with Barnacle tether. It seems pretty random. Last night I was able to stream a Netflix movie via the mobile hotspot in CM7 but couldn't with Barnacle. This morning neither tethering apps would work. Radios I have flashed: 1.39.00.0528w, 0.01.69.0602w_1
I'm thinking this is Verizon's doing?
WifiKill
Do you think that someone is using your wifi? Do you want to take control (hijack) others wifi? Well this app does that using our beloved SG3!!
Well, with this app you can disable internet connection for a device on the same network. So if someone (anyone) is abusing the internet wasting precious bandwidth for a Justin Bieber videoclips you could just kill their connection and stay happy with a full bandwidth just for yourself.
Cool Things you can do with this -
1) If your neighbours are using your wifi network now you can stop them from doing so.
2) You are sitting in CCD or any other place which has open wifi, well you can take control and stop other users from using wifi.
This app is absoultly great and does what it says!!!!
ONE MORE THING - THIS APP REQUIRES ROOT!!!!!
This app is so powerful that it can even close the computers which are connected with Ethernet cables also!
#Dont Spread this thing or other people may use it on you!!! #
To Download this and for more Info Goto the main thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282900
All thanks to the Developers of the app and not me. I just found it over the internet. I have not in any way created this app!!

What does that one do? Because I read you could even shut a computer down...
I guess the first one just blocks the wifi.
Ah, found it on his forum:
There are 4 options to kill the connections coming through the phone:
1) Don't use iptables
- this will only put 0 in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward, which will drop each packet from the client point of view the browser will try to load the page indefinitely like having a 1kbps internet connection each connection will just time out.
this is the best way if your device don't have iptables!
2) Use iptables + DROP policy
- this has similar effect to the previous but the packets are dropped in the iptables
3) Use iptables + REJECT target
- this will reject packets sending either RST packets for each tcp connection or icmp-port-unreach for udp connections, from client POV this will kill all connections pages will just look like they are temporarily down, browser won't load long it will instantly go off, REJECT target support is needed in order for this to work
4) Use iptables + redirect to 127.0.0.1:1
- this should have similar effect to the 3rd option but if your device don't have reject target, all tcp connections are redirected to your device and port 1 which is mostly unused and this also will send RST for each connection
But still, wich option shuts down a computer? Or does it just close the connection?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the dev put an option to shutdown others on the network especially mobiles then it would be an excellent work .iam not a dev and don't know how difficult it is.its just a suggestion. Moreover a request.

I suggest that you ask that in the official thread.
if others block us????
what to do if others on the same wifi connection block us using wifikill or any other similar app?
Just wanted to pass on some info unless it's already known, if you change your profile to Droid razr (cdma/lte) everything will work, infrastructure and 4g teathering without any problems or time outs...

Thanks for posting. Do you need to turn data off before turning on 4G tethering? Does your setting work with 3G?

Which version wifi tether are you using? I tried your settings with the latest version which is 3.1 beta11 and i couldn't tether to my tablet. Switching back to using Samsung Galaxy S profile let me tether again.

No, i didn't turn anything off, just change profile, maybe just restart phone to make surw everything was fresh and bada bing bada boom, wifi teather (3.1 beta 11) worked just like it does on my other phones (evo 3d, kyocera echo)

Same one 3.1 beta 11, I was teather my friends Xbox which I know doesn't do ad-hoc or whatever it's called with only changing the profile and it worked like a charm, just change the profile and try just restarting the phone to make sure everything is fresh before use

Hey thanks for redirecting me to your recent thread and find on the subject.
I uninstalled the old version of wifi tether 3.0 b5 and downloaded the 3.0b11 from the official google site. I tried selecting the device profile you had mentioned whilst testing from home and a laptop (I only have 3g until I leave my apartment at the moment) -BUT....
It appears that I am able to connect and be tethered via Droid Razr (CDMA/LTE) profile but - as unsecure.
If I re-select "auto" profile - I can view my photon from my laptop as secured with the 13 key passphrase. Prompted to enter the key via my windows laptop (vista business 32)
I tried changing the method from "AUTO to WPA_SUPPLICANT" but neither made a difference... (in the Droid Razr CDMA/LTE device profile) but this still shows as unsecure.
I left everything else "as is" by default on the apk.
Running stock photon sprint with shabby's AIO root.
Am I missing something?
I want to make sure that part is clear before trying out the "4g" bit when leaving my apartment to the areas I can get 4g coverage - wouldn't want to keep an unsecure photon tether going on
Hopefully, it is something I really overlooked. The tethering works (meaning I can browse via both the "auto and droid razr-cdma/lte device profiles", but the latter keeps showing up as unsecure. I did "reboot my phone" as you had suggested to another member here.
Thanks - just wanted to share this part for now.

after i check a couple of things, still no infrastructure but 4g and 3g works fine without turning off or anything, maybe xbox had an update to support ad-hoc or whatever, all i know is that when i changed the profile tethering worked like it was suppose to...aside from no infrastructure still -_-
Which app is this on the market, I see a few that have this name on the market not sure which one it is please provide link?

Bummer, the phone has to be rooted? I.heard that when you root the photon you lose ota updates and 4G? I am too chicken to root, how did you root? Just incase I get the courage to do it.

i used shabbypenguin AIO one click root. u wont lose 4g just rooting. unlocking the bootloader is what breaks 4g.

using google wifi tether, do any of you get slow speeds, I get like 290 kilobyte/s downloads, but when using pdanet via usb I can get 1.1 megabyte/s (using the phone in the same location) here are my speed using just the 4G in the same location without tethering. so it seems that I want full speed I have to use pdanet via usb. I've tried different profiles on the google wifi tether app, some of the profiles kill my 4G connection, but if I leave it on auto it works fine with 4G

Anyone else here installed Wifi Tether for Root Users? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
I have an unlimited data plan and I want to make the best use of my rooted handset. I've set it up and can get online, but I'm only getting .7/3 mbps while with the speedtest.net app I easily get 10/10+
With the default install in adhoc mode it wasn't working, so I changed the default profile to Generic ICS and the Setup-Method to Auto (which I think defaults to Netd(master)) I have wifi-driver reload enabled and I have tried with and without the "Routing fix"
Anyone have any experience with wifi tether, and maybe can suggest a fix/config that will work?

I'm curious: what happens if you disable TetheringGuard.apk (using pm or by deleting it)? Does that make the standard tethering feature in Wifi settings work?
(I have a shared data plan with built-in tethering, so I can't try it.)

I renamed the apk and the obex file, adding a .bak extension.
Wifi Tether speeds are unchanged.
Mobile Hotspot won't turn on (I usually get a message that says it's not on my account).
Not sure what to try next...

Thanks nitsuj17. I tried EasyTether and my speeds do seem to be more normal. Although that doesn't really give me a whole lot of conclusive evidence that I'm not being throttled. I can think of two possible causes right now:
1. Wifi Tether doesn't work correctly for my phone (which is weird because my uploads rates are 10x that of downloads)
2. Either Verizon or some piece of software on my phone is detecting that I am tethering over wifi and throttling me. I'm not sure what the best way to debug this is... maybe a custom ROM will do something?

1) the phone has the wireless charging built into the phone, (lol lucily they had a mat at the store so I made him look like a complete dip**** lol)

I've tried just about every (free) app out there. I can't get any of the others to work. Android Wifi Tether is the only one that works, but with its speed limitations.

Wifi Hotspot is free IF you switch to the "Share Everything" plan. You're basically buying blocks of data at that point, so they don't really care how you use it. Primarily because you will most likely go over and pay overages.
Some of us have been grandfathered into Unlimited data plans. For us, wifi tether working as well as USB tethering would be amazing.

yea for out plan it actually saved us $70 a month!
I had unlimited but I don't need it, I don't tether, and we have 4 mines total and we were using under 2GB total on the entire plan, so we have 4 lines with 8GB for the month, we will NEVER come close to that, unless im tethering the entire month for an unknown reason.
so ur saying since, we are in a share everything plan now i actually can tether for free??
I tried it and it wanted to charge me $20

EDIT: I did a "Restart" of the phone, instead of a "Power off". I'm not sure if that did anything, but now my speeds seem to be normal!
nitsuj17: Do you have TetheringGuard.apk and TetheringGuard.odex removed/renamed? I've currently renamed them with a ".bak" extension because I wasn't sure what they do.
zackiv31 said:
Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. No change.
I did this after a fresh TWRP install and SuperSU root. Over wifi tether on Verizon in NYC right now I can only get ~.5/1.12. On the phone itself I'm getting 2.5/3.7. EDIT: After a fresh restart, I'm getting 22/13 on speedtest.
Do you also happen to be in NYC? Wondering where I went wrong in my setup. Anything you can think of you did differently (or how I can reset mine like yours)?

i still have tetheringuard in place, didnt affect anything for me
I get capped at 100kbps.
any updates to this?
i finally got my laptop to connect tonight using nitsu's power #12 (can't get a kindle fire to connect). i've got a full 4g signal but am getting 100 kbps as well...
upload is around 6 Mbps right now!
fyi... found a post that mentioned using TB to freeze the tethering guard app...
that seems to have made a noticeable difference. i'll have to do some testing over time but this is by far the best tethering speed i've been able to get.
Was there ever a fix?
i use to use FoxFi on my S3, which gave great speeds, but FoxFi has its own issues on the LG G3. Wifi Tether Router Works, but i get a fraction of the speed that my phone gets. aka, speedtest from phone gets 80mb down, but when i turn on the hotspot then run speedtest from my ipad/computer it only gets 2-4mb down.
