Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out a way to change the DNS settings for mobile hotspot. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Nexus 4. I need the mobile spot to be able to edit the DHCP settings and set the address differently.
Any suggestions on how to do it via apps or programatically?
Thanks,

Is there a way to make WM6 store the specific IP and DNS settings for an individual network?
When I have the settings configured for my home network it works great but having to change them and reset them each time I connect to a public network it a pain.
I have a developers phone on t mobile and just got an update to the access point settings . Before I had the option of t mobile or simple apn setting. Now the options are t mobile apn or t mobile ipv6. Whats t mobile ipv6? Which one should I use? I have experimented with both and its been tough to tell the difference. Any help or advice would be great.
Use the regular one.
It seems (or according to a Verizon tech) that Verizon disabled the ability to change APN settings on the Galaxy Tab 1 10.1 Since I use a special application i need a static ip and need to change the APN to WE01.WZWSTATIC however the network does not seem to be able to provision it. And since vzw blocked access to it is there a way to assess the apn settings?? maybe i am not using the correct *# code or i am not typing it in the correct place. Any suggestions would be great.
Interesting however are the new Galaxy Tab 2 that we have that allow access to the APN settings... (sigh)
Hi,
I am currently trying to find a way to change the DNS settings on my S II. I want to implement the posibillity to set the DNS IP in the settings of my cyanogenmod ROM.
But it seems like its impossible to set a custom DNS for mobile networks on the SII.
I found out that Android stores its DNS settings as properties.
- net.dnsX for the current active DNS
- and also dhcp.wlan0.dnsX when connected to WiFi,
- or net.rmnet0.dnsX when connected to a mobile network.
I was able to change this settings manually with the "setprop" utility and also automatically by modifying "20-dns.conf" from dhcpcd for WiFi and "ConnectivityService.java" for mobile networks.
For WiFi this works without any problems, but for mobile networks these settings seem to be ignored completely. Android still uses the DNS settings from my provider. I was searching through the complete android source to find an indication where the dns settings are stored that are actually used, but I have found nothing.
First I thought my provider is routing all requests to port 53 to their own servers but even if I set the DNS address to 127.0.0.1, all requests are still resolved.
Has anyone tried this before or even sucsessfully changed the DNS settings for mobile networks on the S2?
I belive the DNS settings for mobile networks are handled in some binary blobs (from Samsung?), maybe libsec-ril.so.
Does anyone have what I can do?
While searching through the net I found out that this is working for other devices, so I dont really understand why samsung would ignore the properties in their code.

Hello,
Since Imgur.com is blocked in my country I'm trying to change the DNS settings of the data network (3G) and I've tried lots of apps already, but none of them worked.
1) Maybe a silly question but why is it so difficult to change the data network's DNS settings ? Aren't the DNS IP's written in some file ?
2) Is it possible to change the DNS to Google DNS without using an app and / or VPN ?
3) Which app would do the trick ? Any recommendations for the HTC One Max ?
I'm on Android 5.0.2 (NuSense6).
Thanks in advance.
