I've been having issues for a month or two and it seems as though I've finally discovered that usually once they start, the highest assigned IP address has always been 192.168.0.11..
Even when I go into the terminal and change my mac address,I still can't get a different IP. Doing the same on my pc and the router is passing out offers in the 20's... Its the story of my life, any fixes??
PS, is it possible to attain closed networks password key with an android?
Is any one out there able to verify if this is or isn't true?
It certainly seems to be the case on hero with both a 2.2 and a 1.5 rom, with what ever router is attached to some open wireless network that I can't afford at the moment.

If you look carefully at the IP address 192.168.0.11, it's a wrong IP, check here for those router default IP addresses.
Has anyone successfully made a VPN connection with their rezound? I am trying to connect to a VPN connection known to be working and it says its connected, but I am unable to get internet traffic to go through. (I.e. when I am connected to the VPN, Any app that uses data is unable to find a connection to the internet.) I know it's not on the VPN server side because I am able to connect and get data with another phone.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
BUMP. no one has tried or can try out VPN for me?
Bump. Not to sound whiney, and but I find it sad that my post can be up for so long without even a single reply. There is a ton of good info in these forums and I'm patiently waiting for s-off just like the average member, but the issue of the vpn hasn't even been looked into by anyone else? I guess my question to any mods would be "what do I have to do to get some attention to an issue I'm having? "

you are so active on the forums, I can't believe your question hasn't been answered yet...
sorry, don't have anything to hide, so don't use vpn.
Why would you need to use a VPN on a phone lol? If you're using free wireless tethering I really doubt that it'll mask it for you. Verizon would be like zomg in Russia wireless tethering steals you!

First of all, thank you both so much for the replies.
I'm not sure that I follow that last sentence, but but to answer the first question.... I want to use the vpn to encrypt my data. I don't use tethering that often, so I don't want to pay for the hotspot fee..... And I don't want to risk Verizon messing with or possibly closing my account or charging me a fee.... So I'd like to run my tethering data though my personal vpn.
I am able to use the stock VPN to connect to my networks. I have about 25 different VPN connections and my VPN connections are the L2TP/IPSEC PSK type. I can mount shares, as well as using remote control programs.
I would look at the logs of the device that you are trying to connect to, maybe that might give you some hints as to the issue. One thing I did find it that my device does not see the DNS server for some reason (even though it is specified), so therefore I have to use IP addresses to connect to anything.
This probably doesn't help you too much, but I did want to reply to let you know that I have the stock VPN working.
Good luck!

Wow! Thank you! It's so good to know that someone has a version of the stock vpn working. Mine are the PPTP type. I wonder if this phone has issues with that setup. Could you possibly test a PPTP connection?
Sorry, I'd love to be able to help you test but all of the device's that I connect to use only the L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN. Good luck solving your problem and have a happy holiday!
Well I just wanted to update this thread. It looks like PPTP VPN is broken in stock android and therefore it's not specific to the rezound. It looks like it can be fixed by developers (and from what I've read) it's pretty common for it to be fixed in non-stock roms. The lack of internet/browsing is caused by a bug in the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) implementation. The following article explains it pretty well:
http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/articles/android_vpn_bug/index.php
This thread discusses some workarounds that were a bit over my head:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
IPsec connections are not affected....and it looks like MPPE connections have been fixed in ICS. If any developers could take a look at the above thread and explain in more basic english how to "fix" the connections that would be greatly appreciated. If not, i guess i'll have to wait and hope ICS fixes it.

Very interesting! Thank you! Have you used the PPTP or L2TP version? Was this just to setup the vpn server and then you connect to it with the stock vpn client?
I'm using the L2TP version

I'm having the same issues as you are. I know I'm replying a month late, but I didn't get my phone setup until almost Dec 30th and have been fighting my corp VPN ever since.
Once in a while I can get ping to work from Better Android Terminal, but that is always short lived and I can never get anything to work from other apps.
I'm glad you found the issue. I took a look at logcat and it is definitely a kernel issue. When the connection starts, I get the message "couldn't set tty to ppp discipline".
Hey guys,
My Father changed something in the router settings yesterday which blocked only me and my brother from connecting to the Wifi.
Anyone else can connect normally and gain Internet access. It is a password protected access point but I have the password and I entered it correctly and it connected but it says "Authentication error occurred".
Does anyone have an idea of what he blocked? Mac address? IP? what? and how can I change it?
Thanks in advance!

Mac address definitely. I would also offer he reserved IP addresses to certain Mac adds & limited number of ip address (i.e., 2 or 3 vs 255). Can you get local access & then access router w/its id name & password?

I have only once changed Mac add & that was inadvertantly & rooted. Don't know if Mac add can be changed w/o root. IP address theory might be tested using a VPN app (may still need connection) or app such as Hide My Ass.
Good luck.
Edit: Now that I think about it, you can't test IP theory w/o outside connection. Sorry.

Never mind, I rooted my s3 mini, installed busybox and used an apk called Mac Spoof and it worked like a charm!!

Hey,
I gave my mam a motorola xoom about 2 years ago. She went from a complete technophobe to being able to google things, watch youtube etc
The xoom was giving a few problems and her old mobile phone was starting to give in so I got her a Padfone S t00n and dock to replace both and have an all in one solution. I gave it to her last night and tried to install teamviewer on it so if she had any problems, she could just open the teamviewer app, give me access and I'd be able to control it from my laptop to fix any issues. She's still very much a technophobe and I could smell the fear off her as I introduced a new bit of technology.
Unfortunately from what I've seen, teamviewer (or asus?) only allows this for business users I don't even know what this means or how to become a business user.
Is there any way around this or any alternatives that can be used? The installed PC link won't work as were on different wifi connections.
Any help would be appreciated!
Bump? My mam has been running into a few problems and I'd like to be able to fix them remotely if anyone knows how?
Bump again
https://www.teamviewer.com/hi/help/341-how-can-i-control-my-android-device-with-teamviewer
Looks like it's a restriction Teamviewer (possibly at ASUS' request) put in place.
An alternative is to set up a VNC server on the Padfone, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver , but you'll have to have her tell you the IP address (if on cellular) or you'll have to port-forward her home router ahead of time (if on wifi).
Unfortunately, it's not as straight-forward as Teamviewer.
Thanks a lot for the help. I sent teamviewer a mail so will see what they say
The VNC method sounds complicated, I'm not very tech savvy myself when it comes to that kinda thing. If it requires any input from her other than just launching an app, I don't think it would work either as she's really bad
Would her IP change every time or once I knew it, would it be ok? She'd be on her home wifi but also on 3g, but the wifi would take over when she's in range which would be most of the time.

Her home IP might stay the same for long periods of time if her internet/power never go out. If you set up the router to port-forward the VNC port (5900) and make note of the IP ahead of time, all she'll have to do is launch the app and hit "Start" for you to remote in. But if the internet/power ever goes out, she might get a new IP. While you shouldn't need to re-port forward, she'll still have to tell you the new IP address.
On cellular, the IP changes often (phone reboot, switching between 2G/3G/4G, etc), so she'd have to tell you the address pretty much every time.

Ok great, thanks again for the continued input. I'm just hoping it's easy enough to set up as if I can't get it going within the testing time of the app, it'll be a waste of $10 if it doesn't work
I had a quick look on youtube for examples of the app in use and it seems fine. Do I just enter a URL to control it or do I need to install some software on my laptop? Would it be possible for me to control it from my phone by any chance, just on the chance I won't be near my laptop?
Would it be possible to use AirDroid? Or have you already tried that?
I think that would require both connections to be made over the same wifi network?
I'm waiting to hear back from Teamviewer, I think they may be able to set me up with a commercial license possibly
Got a free n200 through tmobile to use as a hotspot device for my pc. I was previously getting the job done by using a galaxy note 3 and setting my pc's ttl to 65 but apparently that doesn't work with the newer phones.
I did some searching online and haven't been able to get a definitive solution to bypassing the hotspot throttle, as people seem to have varying results.
Had a lot of issues with PDAnet+, so it's definitely not a long-term solution for me.
Just sent an unlock request to OnePlus, hopefully by next week I'll get the unlock file and I'll root the phone. I'm assuming that rooting the phone will expand my options for what I want to do. Anyone have a solution that worked for them?
Yo, it's like dns hijacking, in fact, this is what you have to do to bypass this.
I'll paint a scenario, see what you make of it...
I plug my sim into a wifi router, in the control panel of this router, I set the wifi to use the 2nd ip, (yes, all isp's actually give you 2 ip's, one that is public, one the isp use's to spy on you, and the one you see in your ethernet card, usually 192.168.1.1.
Your wifi router runs adb, so it is on a different network, being 192.168.0.1, if you set your connecting device to your public ip shown by the router, and nxbogus domain your isp's private number seen in the router, (usually 100.whatever) and their dns, then set your prefered dns in the connecting device, you will bypass the throttling, but you will notice something else...
They throttle you by lowering your phones coverage lol...
Notice in your wifi setup pages your signal will drop from say 75% to 25%, and if you check the config logs, you'll see your limited 90% by the isp..
Yup, I'm isp level in this department..
didn't understand half of what you said. can you break it down a lil bit more?

yea i'm using easytether rn, very similar to foxfi and pdanet+... not a permanent solution however, as it tends to randomly disconnect and i often get kicked out of games due to "network lag". Speeds are exponentially faster than the throttled hotspot, however, so i wont complain.
still, would be nice if there was a solution to this for the native hotspot/tether features... tried everything with apns and changing the ttl on the phone but it didn't work.
looks like someone found a solution for the moto g 5g here, maybe i'll try to implement this for the n200, could be a possible workaround.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection. Make sure ADB is working and you can establish a working adb connection from PC to phone first prior to attempting to tether since it will use ADB. i get full speeds tethering using the paid version.

yeah i've been doing this via easy tether, gets the job done for the most part
For me, PDAnet has low throughput while EasyTether runs full speed and can be used with OpenWRT. They both disconnect randomly though.
No reason to deal with that if you have root. AdGuard+VPNHotspot+noprovisioning is easy to setup and works fine for most networks.

Only connection is WAN to WAN!
Ok, first, I use an lte wifi router, enter gui, goto lan, change router login ip to any ip not 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the latter is hidden in router, but when trying to connect 2nd router, using this ip, problems appear, because the 1st router has adb enabled due to the lte section of 1st router being android 6, and uses's it.
So in effect, I set 1st routers address to 192.168.1.5, 255.255.254.0, 192.168.1.3 ie, this is 1st router login address. In the 2nd router I set mac address of 1st router to use 192.168.1.3, having been set in the 1st.
I do this because if I set 2nd router to match 1st routers address, the 2nd router auto changes address, when plugged in to first, and the 1st router changes too.
So now that you can goto 192.168.1.1 in 2nd router with 1st plugged in, try 192.168.1.3.
First part over, now the tricky part...
Disconnect 2nd router (this Will become your MAIN router)
Start 1st router with sim in, only to obtain public ip, because you need to set this ip in WAN of 2nd router. If your ip changes every reboot, you need to check public ip from first router match's what you set the wan ip to in 2nd router.
Now when you are in 1st router's network/lan settings, look for option to use 2nd ip. enable it, in the ip box put your public ip, ie your internet ip, and remove all access to anything else, including disabling wifi, both 2.5 and 5g.
So now plug in 2nd router WAN to first routers WAN.
Go into 2nd router, and block the PRIVATE ip seen in 1st router, the ip the isp shows you, and NX=bogusdomain your isp's private dns
In your WAN page of 2nd router, set preferred dns.
Voila.
70-80% increase in response.
The hardware method to block dns hijacking
Ps any reboot of the first router will change its ip due to being lte, so remember to check 2nd router match's after any power outage...
