Hi! Even if I put a password to lock the settings and prevent access to the way to share the Internet via Wi-Fi, someone always gets the password from someone else who knows. I need to disable this function permanently. I have root access. These are company phones with Android 10 and 11.

I know this is not allowed by att, but is this something that can be hacked, or is it a hardware issue? Or at least tethering?
Guess it should be solved as a voice call functionality block. S-OFF + simple property modification. Without custom ROM.
I'm sure a hack will be found for it, once the device is rooted and such. Much like the Sprint device ROMs come with the Wireless Tether application, there will likely be one for the Jetstream once we can get the device rooted.
Greetings... Believe it or not, I "accidently" found a way to activate it, without root. I installed super box from the market, and when I was in the power save menu, the hotspot line said off, but clicking it took me to the regular settings menu and the menu to the right allowed me to turn it on, give it a name and set security! The odd thing is that the list of menus on the left is not highlighted as to which one you are in, so you can't access it through "settings," only superbox. There may be another way, but this works!
HI,
I am new to Android with my first device being the Jetstream. I would love to have hotspot capabilities, would it be possible for you o provide a stepwise outline of how you gt this feature to work?
Thanks so much.
Ok, I downloaded the program and as you said, I was able to turn on the wi-fi hotspot capability; however, even when I changed the SSID name it showed up in other devices as "HTC Portable Hotspot" and even if the security was left open it kept asking for a password. I changed the security to require a password, but when I entered it it did not allow me to connect.
Did you do anything else?
I think you are on track.... The password is your choice, and is only an option if you pick one of the two security protocols. The password would be entered on the other device trying to connect to the jetstream. If the name is fixed, I'm at a loss, didn't have that issue...
any luck with this?
I need a way to remotely lock a device like all the anti theft software allows but it needs to be triggered over WiFi, does anyone know of such a thing?
I am allowing my a kid to use a old phone with no SIM card in it. But when he is bad I need a way to take him offline. I used to block the MAC address on my router but a neighbor has started having open WiFi so I can't block him anymore.
I still need this.
Trying to see if there is a program that will completely disable wifi and only re-enable it if a password is entered. would like to give android phone to daughter, but would only use wifi connection at my approval. She's a good kid, but I don't want to needlessly enable her to go and explore 'the world'...
Hey,
A friend of mine wants to lock the data connection of his 11 years old daughter's phone. So i thought, this would be easy, change the DNS as root to localhost or something like that. I read that it is possible to do so with the Wifi connection, but not permanent with the mobile data. This would just work for the current session, after a phone reboot, the normal mobile data DNS is back.
So my question is, what could i do, to lock every data connection? Is it possible?
Thanks for the answers!
why not just remove all apns and saved wi-fi networks? then there would be no mobile networks or wi-fi networks to connect to.
also, why does an 11 year old girl have an s2? if one isn't able to check on what their child is doing on the internet, and/or won't let them on the internet at all, might the s2 not be a little much?
This girl is not stupid, she knows how to connect to a Wifi network. Also it's thus a metter of time, till she knows to add the correct apn, or a friend of her does it.
I need a solution to realy change someting, that data is no longer possible. So she, or someone who knows a little bit about smartphones cannot enable it.
well that certainly is respectable, she knows how to crack wpa2 wi-fi keys?
then your dns trick, even if it were stored permanently, would be no use either.
i don't know, what country you are from, but at least here, every carrier offers the possibility to disable mobile data connections for your sim card. that way, no matter what you try to set up, the carrier would not accept you into their mobile network.
Could you delete APNs and wifi keys, then lock the settings app so the 11 year old cannot access it to edit the connection settings?
ZDBox is freeware and contains a reliable app locking tool.
Hi all,
I want to prevent certain apps from accessing my work Wi-Fi, mostly so my employer can't see what I'm doing. Specifically, I don't want to be connected to my employer's Wi-Fi while on Facebook, Evernote, etc.
For some other apps, I still want to use Wi-Fi to save data.
I just installed Tasker and have already a Task set up to shut off Wi-Fi for these apps. My question is: is this really secure? Does anyone think this will prevent my employer from seeing what's on my Facebook, or is there a flaw I'm not thinking of?
Ex: maybe Tasker has a delay which will allow my employer to see Facebook load anyway.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a more efficient way of doing this (in Tasker or anywhere else in Android) that'd be great.
Thanks
Question your boss is a hacker?
Because if he isn't he can't see anything in theory because he doesn't know how.
But you can use vpn connection as Hotspot Shield
so your traffic inside that network and all over the internet is encrypted.
You can also use "Firewall" for that.Firewall apps that they stop apps that you choose from getting access to internet.
if you aren't rooted try this one NoRoot Data Firewall . it use VPN
connection. So this vpn connection is local and when the blocked app tries to connect the internet it just get the localhost ip as gateway . the other apps continue to work normally.
if you are rooted try this one AFWall+ (Android Firewall +)
depends on your needs of course.
