right... so I decided to go with o2 as my t-mob contract expired. I was too damn fed up with their poor coverage, and I travel round the country a lot.
the questions I have are:
- is there any source where I can find stock o2 rom? 6 or 6.1 even better. sorry if it's waiting for me somewhere in this forum, but I simply couldn't find it.
- if You have their unl. web bolt on - is it capped somehow? see, I read somewhere that it's just 200 megs while one of the o2 employees said, that it's not limited at all (in common sense usage ofcourse)
- I am using my kaiser for im, mail, surfing the web and others. am I allowed to do that on o2? do they block any ports?
hope this makes sense
t.i.a.
bro
I got the email through today inviting me to upgrade - I'll be moving to a sim only package. I am on an O2 Kaiser still on it's standard ROM. If someone points me to a handy dandy place that has a nice step by step, jargon free tutorial on how to dump a ROM I will see if I can up it somewhere for you.
Anyway, the "Unlimited" data used to be 200Mb web and email only. It appears (since February?) to have changed so you might find the rest of it has changed to and what people are telling you is out of date.
Looking at the O2 tnc - http://www.o2.co.uk/termsconditions/tariffsandboltons0153
The Web Bolt On allows you unlimited use of O2 UK’s Edge/GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
o in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
o to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
o in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, remove the Web Bolt On from your account or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.

You'd think that when they mention an excessive usage policy they would fecking link to it so you can damn well read the policy you are signing up to without having to hunt all over their damn website. </rant>
Does that cover everything?
thanks for the info.
well... as I expected. they are bit more strict on web than tmob or 3. oh well... my mistake. maybe they will change their policy in the future... :/
anyway- if I'll gather info on how to dump rom for futer use in nice and easy way, then I'll pass it to You Mate. (unless any experienced in that matter user is willing to help)
thank You for Your help again

I didn't think it was at all bad given it is meant to be used for a mobile connection rather than your primary internet access.
As for dumping a ROM, I am sure there is a readme somewhere, I just haven't found one that is ether more than "Here's the download" with no details or littered with TLAs. And I am too lazy to keep researching at length.
Does the wireless tether app work w/ the Bionic? (https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether)
To answer your question, No, and seriously, look around before you ask, if this worked there would not be threads on reverse engineering the wireless tether feature, how to get tethering to work and such, these multiple threads are getting a bit ridiculous.

Not everyone is as advanced as me? 1st off I'm not very "advanced", I simply have made a common observation that there are numerous threads on this topic already, which probably shouldn't have been posted in development to begin with, but that would be for a Mod to decide. The point of a forum as far as I'm aware is ultimately the exchange of information, if information of value is hidden amongst dozens of repeat threads, doesn't that hinder users in their attempts to find information that others have posted? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the forum? I'm not bashing the OP, I didn't call him/her names or imply he/she lacked intelligence, I answered their question first and secondly brought something to his/her attention that would probably benefit the community if prevented in the future. And it's not just my perspective when facts support it.

You're right. I agree it doesn't belong in development as it does not forward development on the device. It ends in a question mark, should be in General, seeing as the Bionic doens't have a Q&A section for some reason. Or even Themes & Apps seeing as it's about an application.
But, on the other hand, it isn't necassarily true that if it worked there wouldn't be thread on reverse engineering the built-in WiFi HotSpot application. Maybe people don't want a 3rd party application for tethering, so they would use the reverse method. Or they are simply interested in a learning experience.
Both of you had a fault in the conversation. But this is only my opinion. I don't know everything and don't claim to. Just giving my 2 cents on the situation as we've had similar in the Droid Incredible forums before, where I was before here, hence my username.

I did address this. I said it didn't belong here. It should've been in a different section, at the least. Yes, this thread is a waste because of the numerous threads already there.
This still does not stop VZW from monitoring your data use and charging you for it.
The hotspot is still configured to reconnect using the Tethered NAI and is therefore clearly distinguished by the network as external data use.
This is going to take some digging into the OS to figure out and may simply be impossible due to the way network authentication works now for LTE devices.
Users really need to understand that the game has changed in some very fundamental ways regarding tethering on VZW and all the carrier's for that matter.
I've used like 4 times for short period of time and by now nothing changed

I think that what cellzealot is saying is that even though the hack allows tethering and does not show he Verizon page about tethering, Verizon can clearly see the difference in data usage. Whether or not they will act on it right now is yet to be determined. But the important thing to know is that youvare easily tracked.

Im kind of the boat with these other guys. Is there any way to prove that Verizon can't track this and nail you for it later?
Sent from my DB using XDA premium.
What kind of proof are you looking for? The Bionic hasn't been released for a month yet to even see what their response might be to un entitled use of the Hotspot app.
I have already explained in detail in the other thread started by zedomax why this is detectable and why his video showing the RadioComm method of editing the NVM the same way as was done for EvDO devices is both completely ineffective and dangerous.
If you want proof look at the NVM yourself and see the new authentication strings that are different hardware ID elements and different strings than previous non LTE phones.
If you understand network data authentication you will clearly see why this is openly detectable and is using the tethered NAI to distinguish the Hotspot data use.
What don't you see that you need to? If they want to charge you for it they have the means in place t determine precisely when and for how long you were connected and exactly how much data was used during that period.
So how do we get the EPST menu to change the NAI like I did on my old incredible?

What device have you been tethering on for the past 4 months?
My statements are regarding the Bionic which hasn't even been out for a month yet.
Have you been using the Hotspot app or other means of wifi tethering?
I am currently using the Captivate on T-Mobile, and kept hearing about them offering free wifi calling on select devices. Not that I need it, but being the way I am I had to do research on the possibility.
I was curious of it it's even possible. Looking at threads like this
made me even more curious.
So, is it possible? And forgive me if this question has already been asked, but a quick google search found nothing but flaming on the subject. Thanks in advance! Learned a lot by creeping these forums, lol.
Hey everyone, I recall a thread like this from my previous beloved, Galaxy S 4 by @Skipjacks, and I figured the Note 4 also deserves such a thread. It did very well there, still active, and I was hoping we could have such a nice environment here as well. I'm hoping this will lead to less cluttered in Development Threads and Q&A Forum. An information bank for EVERYONE and ALL level of android knowledge
If you are not familiar with XDA and what is required of you as a brand new user (Or simply need a refresher), I will advice you start HERE
The quickest way to annoy anyone here is by not SEARCHING. Make "Search" your best friend. It is located at the right side of your screen, you simply cannot miss it. If you do not know how to properly search on XDA, here is a simple guide line. Simply put in a keyword, press enter, and results will pop up. From there skim to see which pertain to what you are concern with and move on from there. You are wondering about battery life? Type in battery and see what pops up. You have wifi issue? Simply type in wifi and see what pop up. Its very, very easy.
Another quick way to annoy anyone on here, is by not reading atleast the last 20 posts. Odds are, your concern have been addressed most likely. A quick skim is always good!
I hope this thread will be a Help and Be Help type of things. I always believe in paying it forth.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE
There is no such thing as a stupid question! You feel it is a stupid question, simply look away and do not answer! No NOOB bashing. No encouraging NOOB bashing! If everyone do their part, this could be successful!

I never could get heimdall to work properly in linux mint. It seems like you are having issues too.
The only suggestion I can make is to set your PC to dual boot Windows and Linux for occasions like this where emulation won't work for you.
In the meantime, perhaps you could use a friend or relatives computer to ODIN a fresh ANK4 setup.
Yeah its a Odin flash issue. You may be able to just Odin flash TWRP. Again and it could be fixed. Also let me know if you need the files I can throw them up on my mega.

I've searched with google, reddit, this forum, and android central (though, for some reason I only had access to one page of results) and I can't find a direct answer, so I would greatly appreciate some help.
FoxFi does not work for WiFi with the Note 4 on T-Mobile, but can anyone verify that I could still USB tether directly into my PC and use the internet on my PC and have it access mobile data, instead of tether data? I don't have Note 4 or T-Mobile to test yet, and knowing if this works helps determine my plan decision. I wish to stay unrooted for now, and would probably use 20GB-ish a month.
Maybe this is a stupid question, because FoxFi says USB/Bluetooth tethering is supported on all phones. And the description on Google Play says T-Mobile users should use USB tethering for it to work, so it sounds like it should. Yet, I've still not seen anyone definitively state that they've successfully used FoxFi USB tethering with the Note 4 on T-Mobile and specifically not use tether data. I've found plenty of direct statements from other carrier users, and general statements of USB tethering works, but nothing I can directly connect to Note 4/T-Mobile.
I posted this in a FoxFi thread a few days ago with additional questions, but haven't gotten a response yet: Does FoxFi Work? Post #14 If you answer here, I'll update that thread, or vice versa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Happy New Year!

Sorry I can't help you with app, and it's also none of my buisness so ignore me if it offends you, but you would have to block half the internet. You may slow it down, but you won't prevent her from seeing such material, lately it's getting even on sites that were considered safe before. But it also depends on her age
There are apps that can do this (none of which I can name), but ultimately sandboxing her from certain things might result in her being more interested in them.
But as for naming specific apps, I can't say. I'm not at the parental stage yet [emoji14]
Good on ya for being concerned about your kid, I'm sure you're a phenomenal parent.

Apps on the phone fail miserably. I have tried many of them and cracked them myself just for fun.
Some block only the default browser. (Install another browser to view)
Some block site requests (VPN can easily bypass it)
Some sniff DNS request (For which we can change DNS server)
None of these even matter if you use a mobile net plan. Its too easy.
In short. Close to impossible.
A rooted phone maybe a first step to fully block. But I do not know any rooted apps that do it.
Thank you guys for your replies ,
This is so sad, with a computer theres just a few addons and you are done but with a phone or tablet its so difficult :crying:
