VOIP sip IS NOT YOUER friend and bill gates locks forumz!!!!!

Let me start be saying would to thank this forum for existing but some **** is just stupid.
Schapps has been the closest to making VOIP work and stay up
I believe the code just released the client just released is open I don’t believe he's done yet
I can make the broken client work but that’s easy if you take the client set up screen and place it in front you next to the installation directions of a third party vendor(I am assuming my friend Mr Bullin know s what hat means)
On a thread below I left few parts out, due to the fact that their is a US based company offering free software that they copyrighted. I don’t understand how one can assume the power of free open sourced client.
Here’s my answer on only gates would close a forum he would pay then lie.
Copyrighting a client that I believe I said works. Ok tell me how genius how dopes it work I am confused what makes it work what are the main factors should not be hard to find
Current Released Version 2.0.1 feedback
can not hear does not work well and say reg on when off very confusing explain

part 2
I did how ever fix or should I just used it as a starting point to connect.
The first 6 ROM I used was from Mfrazz very nice rom
XDA Mobile 6
It had the sip protocol tool that is now copyright worthy
I would be lying if I said it was not a ****y tool, but very simple.
So it was easy to cross reference the fields when I held it up next to a soft phone that’s is licensed ( another piece of paper that has the year and a federal stamp on it)
So the whole point is no one has actually presented a client that works like a normal piece of software and is plug_and_play per say.
Out of respect for his ability and determination I have been watching the intense process that schapps has put in and I’m sure he has a full blown solution behind it.
Now here is for the jerk offs you know guys who are quick to open that mouth. Not that my typing doesn’t piss you off apologize, but for the real idiots the talented the individuals that make one move and they know everything.
VOIP is fun the idea of free telecom fills a hacks cup and a businessman cup.
But the term it is not your friend means that there are so many variables in a conection that from a programmers stand point the equation seems to drive them deep down the rabbit whole.
Well never read manual but I do know one thing it wouldn’t be put on the front of the TODAY screen if it was rocket sience.
The fact is it its quite simple all the phone needs is an IP address then it can be a voip phone.
Well last I checked one big telco company called cellular one and another company called Panasonic teamed up with this other company Motorola and Nextel( a phone company) as we know it was formed. Well Nextel is based off of Static IP’s the concept is not new.
I was up all night working on my client and now its done here
Mind v.l1
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm51424.htm?
Please by al means do what you do best and somebody and bring that client back to the board cause I probably will not be attending anymore of the open board sessions. Its bad enough to type but to have to here a *****es opinion about me and not flex is not easy.

part 3
I was taught one thing don't ever have an ego and be able to do it your self. That’s I got nothing crazy to say to any the confused individuals that seem to have a very passionate deep opinions.
Being able to make things is talent and 1000 revolutionary features on a state of the art phone system that no will ever use, because the beautiful minds that made it decided they would use their ideas for the end user environment is worthless.
100% of a broken client is worthless.
Helmi said something very important, taking credit for another mans work is weak, I fell the same way just like certain countries are weak.
Gates never shows his face i understand i wouldn’t either.
Logic is cool but until you make million clean or can answer this question how much cash can you fit in a standard carry on briefcase? Don’t be so quick to fire that virgin mouth cause in the real world guess they don’t give **** so appreciate my feed back I can tolerate personality

voip
What the client on the phone is for the INTRANET
( Again this the network ( a group of computers connected to work as one) inside of a infrastructure and behind a router fire wall t1) MR BULLIN
I was saying that I was surprised that it was not pre exposed but then I remember the fact that it always misfires and a telecoms nightmare cause no body physically put it into play.
(referring to a live call center with 30-100 tsr’s on the phone generating $15-$30k a day)
Can you imagine the importance of redundancy and the fact that big companies can’t afford to ever be down. So voip came and went some companies got desperate and are still trying to push a switches and charge $40k. The main Problem is support companies want the easy way out that’s why we are here.
Why doesn’t the iphone doesn’t have voip, but yet mac’s client is one of the best on the market. Cause jobs will not release anything half which means No body could see voip is very efficient very easy to use and the best way to go if you are building some thing from scratch. JUst like Americas cellular data service is free

We all have bring something to the table and just cause I cant type doesn’t mean that I cant kick a door down or 20 but this not my forum as matter fact I keep getting demoted. But I can’t complain cause its still my home and I there is one thing about the mind. If you want an answer ask. When I see some one make a wrong move I never knock it he tried or he is trying that makes 3% which is what controls the worlds wealth.
But having a “I am the **** website poll” and a fan club now that’s cute.
If you want to talk data networking and voip or how to disassemble a mda in less then 15 minutes. I am available and over qualified.
I fear if I speak anymore I might start say bullin and the moderator will demote me to a symbol like prince.
When in doubt and all else fails just look at it and the answer is usually right in front of you.
If I don’t get back to another special request it is due to the fact that I have quite a few employees to worry about.
XDA ROCKS and your better go hands than going mind trust me you want none.

I can translate aboutthemind:
He's stating that the WM6 VoIP client is full of bugs but the allure of "free" calling over VoIP has appeal to both hackers and businesses alike so we keep banging away at it. So far, he feels that Schaps is the closest to having a "functioning" native WM6 client (mine works better IMHO ).
He also stated that M$ "supposedly" released this but the WM6 platform has seen no "official" Internet calling application since none of the Operators have decided to pick up on it (due to apparent revenue issues). m$ (Gates) has been silent on the availability since the initial betas. So his point is this:
Is Internet calling even a release level feature of the WM6 ROM? Perhaps not. Perhaps we should instead be devoting our energies to other more proven technologies and building them in to our ROMs.
aboutthemind is far from an idiot; he merely communicates differently.
edit (I have to read posts many times to extract all intellectual content):
abouthtemind also states that the Internet calling app was designed for INTRANET only and believes its IP address/NAT related that causes the issues we experience trying to use it over 3G.
I personally disagree with this because my TyTN works fine with my asterisk server over 3G. What's different about my connection? Very high speed (Business class RoadRunner) server access along with very high speed phone access (AT&T pda connect plan). I use DHCP at my 3G connection and my asterisk server is configured for NAT at both ends. Using G.711, I experience millisecond drops (audio is occasionally choppy) but have both-way audio. I'm also not getting ring-back (can't hear ringing tone on my TyTN while the remote end is ringing) but I believe this is an asterisk configuration problem.
I therefore believe Internet Calling audio issues are codec related and that the one way issue is caused by congestion at our phone's virtual network card. G.711 is all that is support out of the box and, as such, does no compression. This is one of the reasons why INTRANET connections work: more bandwidth at the phone. G.729 is held out as the "holy grail" solution here, but my research indicates that current phone processors my not have enough power to use G.729. I could be wrong here in that a native processor version could exist, but I'm concentrating on GSM610 instead because there is a good compression ratio, and the codec is already optimized for the ARM V4I instruction set (which itself is pseudo-code of course).
@aboutthemind: I remain committed to solving the codec issue for the reasons above. I too want to produce an out-of-the-box solution & will release a new ROM with my fixes if I do. I say "if" not "when" because understanding codec code itself is rocket science... in the examples they actually invoke assembler to do some math processes because the C compiler optimizations aren't quite fast enough . Besides this, I'm not fully convinced that the WM6 RTC layer is fully ACM codec compliant. There may be an issue at compress/decompress time which only works with G.711 because G.711 does no compression.
Finally, why spend all this energy on WM6 Internet Calling instead of simply cooking in a more proven solution? Here:
Solution must have tight phone integration: press the green button and call or receive call
Solution must have tight contact integration
Solution must use phone earpiece not speaker and have good volume
Solution must transfer over bluetooth to car handsfree
Right now, Internet Calling, while not there for sure, actually comes closest and therefore holds the promise of working with all of the above. I believe that fixing the codec will solve points one and two. Hardware itself causes issue 3 and may only be solvable by changing phone hardware. IMO, a quick tweak should solve issue 4 and I will start working on that when I get a reliable GSM610 codec working.

Hi Sleuth,
I have to admit that I never had enough patients to read posts of aboutthemind.
However I agree with most of conclusions you have drown here. Both from aboutthemind posts and your own.
1. Idea to have VoIP client inbuilt and closely integrated with the device system is very appreciated.
2. The client, however should work with the system as you have described. It means that it should actually take over the control of the system and use the peripherals of the device together with the native phone application.
It would be great if we could make the RTC client work properly, but I am afraid, it is very difficult if possible at this stage of the RTC development.
That is way maybe starting a new project could be better solution.
This was about generals, now to back to RTC.
I am not exactly sure if the g711 codec is not capable to work properly both in WiFi and 3G/HSDPA environment. Also I believe, G729 implementation in our mobiles can be done.
I am plaing with VoIP for long time already. Talking about mobile devices, I used to have old HP with PCMCIA WiFi card installed and SJPhone working on it. It was pretty good solution for that time. Later I used Asus PDA with WiFi on board, but without phone option. I used there SJPhone and X-Pro from Counterpath. The last one was commercial product with g729 implemented. And it worked. The processor was Intel 520 MHz. This shows that it could be done. Unfortunately Counterpath has withdrawn this product from the market.
Ok. These were early implementation. There was no integration with the system, it was aimed to PPC with WiFi only and so on.
Now We have WM6 on devices with UMTS/HSDPA on board and I am sure, sooner or later VoIP will be integrated with the system.
At the moment I am usually using Ageet phone, which works perfectly, both on WiFi and 3G, specially with HSDPA. It does not have G729, but it uses GSM, G711, ILBC and Speex, I believe. The only problem with this soft is, that it is not integrated with Phone applet in the WM6. This makes impossible to place calls directly from your contact list. It can import the contact list, but then it does not recognize all does phone number formats, so you need to have them in format, which is accepted by your voip provider. There is also obvious problem with audio redirection to bluetooth headset and receiving a call using green button or headset button.
By the way, I have tested Ageet phone as well as some other commercial phones with many different VoIP providers and environments including my own commercial VoIP network based on PortaOne Switch. All those apps work perfectly with all possible networks.
This can not be said about RTC client. It works with some servers (asterix, FWD in eg.) but does not work with others (PortaOne servers in eg.).
So if we decide to work on RTC, then we should take in mind that there is not only a problem with one way audio in some configurations, but also that this client does not fully complies to SIP protocol and because of that it is cut of from servers like PortaOne, while trying to initiate the call. I have described the problem in my post in your (Shaun's) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1241766&postcount=561.
On the other hand Age company is also marketing its SDK. It seems to me that this SDK is really very good, both for PC and PPC environment. The footprint of both versions of their applications is very small . You can see it specially in WM6 if you observe how little memory it takes. Unfortunately the SDK is a commercial product, but they can provide it with G729 included. The question is how to deal with such a project if it would be based on this SDK?
This are only my thoughts. If somebody is interested in taking those thoughts further on, I am open for cooperation.

We shouldn't condemn this guy out of hand. I am not sure whether English is his mother tongue/first language. If it is not then he should post up in his own language and then someone can translate.
From the Sleuth's post it seems that aboutthemind is making some very valid points; its just that the way he puts it is not that easy to decipher.
WB

Here's some bad news that confirms aboutthemind's suppositions:
I've been playing with a compilable GSM610 codec which I can insert into my Hermes WM6 RTC stack, and its looking more and more like a buggy rtcdll that's the core issue. The RTC has 3 built-in codecs. Two are known to work: g.711 alaw & ulaw. The other, g.722.1 (also called "Siren"), is a floating point codec which I haven't enabled.
Plugin ACM codecs such as gsm610.acm appear to be correctly supported from a registry standpoint. The RTC uses the "Dll" value to find the correct acm codec, and uses WaveForm parameters to negotiate. These all appear to work as advertised.
However, while my code is getting normal ACM calls and correctly encoding information using the GSM codec, the other end only hears garbled sounds. Likewise, I'm not getting any input to the decode logic and my earpiece is dead.
This could still be a huge pointer translation issue causing the output buffer to be incorrectly addressed but that is looking more and more unlikely.
It would appear that RTC 1.5.5374 isn't fully ready for prime time from a plugin codec perspective. I'm now looking more closely at rtcdll.dll....
ITMT, g.711 alaw appears to work best over 3G. If you are using asterisk or TrixBox, you can limit your mobile extension's codec negotiation to only use alaw as follows:
disallow=all
allow=alaw

Gentlemen, Mr Slueth, time to handle this voip issue
I do apologize i had have 2 major prodjects in play so considering voip is the most efficient and logical solution i am say live. I built 3 platforms with a russain and Ukraine programmers that why a patiently waited until we could get past the feminism not to disrespect anybody i can only trouble or comment if i too have experienced the same issues threw out my life.
But i am bit off a tough guy and i was raised to not say a fcking thing in a multiple lister environment unless you took into consideration recourse and ones interpretation. Translation don't talk and don't ever disrespect nobody or you would catch a beating.
Well times have changed and now doing time is like a course offered in college so you can not even smoke on earth anymore!
I must say the first time i spoke was to protect the integrity of an individual inhere from a ungrateful member. Moist important i was able to use his solution to secure my ability to resurrect any type of wizard. So i thanked him but i was more bothered by the disrespect for ones efforts by another.
Can you believe THE MUTHAFRkr actually turned on me, i couldn't understand.. I get plenty of thanks in the real world via the new times, let alone from here daily and tell u truth i have never gone public. I have given quite a few Domestic companies a whole new way to think an they actually took some **** i had for me.
Its not my looks or my level of intelligence's that gets you the label one of the best in the game today.
For me it is me, meaning i only do things one way with no ego. I beciome the end user and think like they do. That means that i have to assume that i have been misunderstood when some insults me and take full responsibility for both parties. Move on. But being that i am a communication specialist and most important a fix my company specialist. I was ia bit confused my self until i realized where this forom is out of and the fact that i never looked at all the flags that people throw so now i get.
Just like free data doesn't appeal to most of the moderators and senior members why would it like this it doesn't apply.
So don't expect to much from people that are abroad simply because its old news or doesn't excite them.
Only work people that have respect i don't need to suit here and chicken peck the keys. My language is free spoken cause im at home so the least i can do is swear. I am a bit of a phycological warrior with a few gifts. But try to mind **** over the computer after this run was proven and deemed a failure.
If i needed validation i would not be in a studio loft and drive a rental. YOu are only as good as your teachers. And the best of the best dont wear it on their chest.
But lets face it i to am in the lab on a whole other level.
I bang this out with guys if you want.
And MR sleuth with much respect to you sir. The ability to see probably not the first time being i only guess what the vendors and clients look like. My coments to schapps was for the visuals and hinted not drop code its as bad as my typing to a non programmer and a turn off. I am a true fan and have true passion let alone credential in voip. Again not into knocking some determination or work that would be my ultimate mistake if ever making any in life.
So with that i need some answers so i can go get you what you need if you see my previous posts i threw up a flag so i could solve this but i have read all the posts so and again have not wanted to disrupt the determination but saw it was gonna drive down a very long hard maybe a little road.
1 why do you need to use the gprs client on an acm environment.
2. Can we nail one type down?
We only need one to work then the idea would be to expose the path
it then be a true team effort from the various camps here and all over
3.Do you see what i see in the us regarding the fact that hot spots are also gprs and the idea is a free cell phone that is free cause of this effort not cause its the internet.
I don't know about you but i would never want to speak over the internet abut anything none business related meaning my day to day.
5. Nothing is secure fear is the best security system one can have
Finish our discussion on sip Please do mot use the vendors names i have a major personal issue with people selling free open source software and have other people produce clients for free. The whole thing keeps out of that environment. Just personal thing
But i threw together 2 asterisk systems they shuttles and i will join you i you bring me to speed meaning the clients to test or the ability.
I also had a Hermes delivered today for this fix, the phone is in 4 pieces and looks like a standard owner had buyers remorse and after he bricked it he killed it but looks like this Hermes is going to live by tomorrow.
I am a visual type of person so for instance sip was seek and destroy that was the pitch.
Voip was {Phone--------Switch(homeofiice firewallsrouters,NAT)---- -----------------------(Switch)home/offiicefirewallsrouters,NAT)---phone
SIP was assuming you did not have any thing but home configured. It was suposed to find its way home in business pitch.
I understand networking and the concepts but dont dig in with logic.
I was thinking more if i understand why you need multiple codecs and why we cant just split open the t mobile client which by the way is from blue tooth sig. A bluetoothe company with all the stk's from every vendor available. that is going broadband for those who don't know and yes you can surf the net on blue tooth.
This what i bring way out side box and i think we can do this faster if i can implement the way come up with this stuff.
the sdk is a valid concern so i would be more than happy to split apart any piece that causes a mental block my boy z in the Ukraine still are waiting for the yahoo and google checks. I will also pardon anyone who has remorse.
Most important is the connections and the resources to use for all my in house work is the usually the mother ship and she doesn't speak English and has no copy right.
I am player in this but i don't program so you will be amused by the remedial questions and nuclear answers.
But lets do this fast with no ego and i was not implying anything directly to your present work or anyone above this specific page. If you weren't all genius i would be any way. And my goal is to let that even t-mobile is not my carrier they let me see a way out and all the holes in service so this is not about the codes it about stepping back finding the manufacture that makes the phone pulling the client customizing and then giving it up for free to those that are willing to give up the sunlight for the red eyes and constant domestic issues.
I have some things that you might be able to use li really dont know cause i good but even i stopped following when you flipped ways in one session. I'm sure once you fill me in i will pick it up instantly. Hardware and risk of destruction, well that would be my pleasure.
PS i did not proof read this so ii hope it has impact

Agreed. The built in G.711 codec works well over WiFi. I'm having no issues other than battery life related which can't be solved easily... The WM6 RTC isn't really designed to run over 3G anyway. My AdapterTypes registry hack was what made it do this and that flushed out a few "undocumented features" for sure. Case in point: it doesn't detect changes in GPRS/3G availability such as when you USB connect to ActiveSync. So you have to physically stop Internet calling by choosing "never" in the Internet tab of the Phone Settings dialog, then restart it by choosing "Whenever Available" to make it connect again. It also doesn't automatically start the data connection if it is off and will instead again say "Not Available" until you manually start the data connection then perform the above stop/start routine.
This being said, having a GSM610 codec functioning would lower the bandwidth requirements considerably. I have a few more tests to make today with this codec; it may be that the algorithm itself isn't properly spec'ed to GSM610. Some quick tests will determine this. I'm a developer and I want to understand this you see
At any rate, I'd like to get my hands on a newer version of rtcdll.dll than the one that's in my Hermes ROM.
edit:
First test completed: I disabled the final encoded buffer transfer to the RTC. The rationale here being that if the same garbled sound was heard then the Wm6 RTC itself was the culprit. Instead, I heard what would be expected if the RTC was truly acting on the encoded buffer: silence. Now I have to dig more into the codec itself. The sample GSM code does a double frame encoding (each input PCM buffer is treated as two GSM610 encoded frames). I'm not sure if the WM RTC is prepared for this or not..... Heck, there may even be a transport layer issue causing the garbled sound. More research is required.

Anybody interested in playing along can do so with their own asterisk server. There's actually a Virtual appliance containing Trixbox, FreePBX and other goodies that make startup a snap. Just load the free VMWare player, point it to the fully configured virtual machine and you're up and running.
A link to this free appliance along with the vmware player itself can be found here.
The 3CX softphone that can receive direct ip calls (dial it's address using the form nn*nn*nn*nn on your Internet calling equipped HTC phone when both devices are WiFi connected to the same network) can be found here

I'm playing with my Asterisk server... But fun ends pretty fast when you realise you can't really go anywhere. I'm no genius to come out with a hack which recompiles a TRUE softphone into a dll which wraps the MS one and bypasses the ridiculous limitation of the earpiece vs speaker problem and then goes to Mars etc, etc... So I learned that I might just get another phone if I really want to enjoy VOIP on my mobile. I like my S710, would have been one of the best mobiles to enjoy VOIP (I think) but:
1) No, no, smartphones can't have the VOIP stack
2) You can try to hack it in but earpiece is only available to "modem"
3) etc.
I'm a bit disappointed must say.
Ka.

It is possible to redirect audio from multimedia speaker to earpiece for any HTC phone with Syren audio chip.
namely:
HTC Tornado
HTC Excalibur
HTC Vox
HTC StarTrek
.......
Also, we have positive resultes with many HTC Pocket PC Phones. namely:
HTC Hermes
HTC Trinity
.......
I do not understand why HTC has disabled audio redirection. HTC audio driver is capable of audio redirection from multimedia speaker to earpiece for any multimedia stream..
Sorry, I wouldn't be able to tell more regarding this issue. But the bottom line is: IT CAN BE DONE.
I guess, HTC decided to leave this option out for reason or...

By reading forums around I learned that on some phones it could be possible.
I'm not sayint it's a hardware issue (as I got no clue about hardware), on the other hand we're limited by the drivers they provide us, limited by the API we can use.
I read somewhere that it might be possible to redirect an audio stream to the earpiece when the "phone part" is actually being used. Even if it is a modem connection.
Meaning we might have the phone to instanciate a "fake call" and then redirect the audio stream to the earpiece. Meaning that... Yes, true, audio streams could be redirected to the earpiece but not very easily.
Now, faking a call or anything like this is not really something I can code in two seconds and try. Don't even know if it could be possible. So, I still hope in the one, as I said in a post above, genius to hack a DLL, put some sticky tape around, couple of API calls he's the only one to know of and send a Shuttle to Mars. I know there are many of these in this forum, luckily.

Some interesting ACM plugin codec developments:
I now have the exact same garbled audio in both directions . However the reason it now works at all is a fundamental clue that I'm now looking into. The frames being sent to the decoder appear to be about half the size that it's designed to handle.
Specifically, the integer divide of input size \ GSMBLOCKSIZE was zero because size was < GSMBLOCKSIZE. If this size was zero, the encoder initially just exited. I changed the code so that if the division = zero and the original size was greater than zero then the divided size was now 1 instead of 0. Result was identical garbled audio in both directions.
It may actually be the "double frame" encoding/decoding logic that's dying. This GSM codec was designed for the audio ACM system and the RTC system may well be quite different....

Dr what have you done you mighht actually have to use a responder
RTC dll i would tell tomorrow however it will surface tonight i would expect it to. with all the network drops i have soembody better email a fake one.
Just tell you are aware of trixy and that i am not a fan of the model solution takes 15 mins but i am not a fan i am if it is for your house the key is to not spend any money i failed. trixy comes in all forms and Phonn lattttyy does not need any more advertising. Unless you say so, i don't say it to much trust me in fact the west coast best called me to tell me he was shocked about the revelations. In fact i have been asked to plan and design a company structure 50 times on astrik never it sfree. I am a businessman and don';t get out of bed for less than a nickel or if you ask for my help. I built a phone system with instructions simply the desire for the perfect ADD autistic solution. A+B=C no games in your face gorilla direct marketing ...............we can get into that later.
Please don't push trixy unless you have a reason and im ok with that but please mispel. Is the fact that i dealt with them as a customer inquiring blind ready to buy so my opinion is like business i have no friends and am not biast in any which way or form. Respect plays a great deal for me.
Non the less you just sped me up of why no need to answer. Please look at some of my bulll regarding a way out. All we need is a way out well this little basted showed up today and no i am armed but let please make this

Why would one want to play in this game well thats where i come in.
Here is why evryone gets a piece
1.XDA takes the left side (usa the glutens consumers right here right now).
2. I will get6 the data free thats my goal it will come
3. we have cellular for free it would motivate our off shore friends to stop looking straight and look up and see that with the right team the your everyday is worth all the money not me jeeves my rodeo is over, but i don't stand alone.
3. I think voip was invented off shore and i want to see the pie piper cause i did it in less than 5 minutes while i was peaking over seas on an analog line. My very good friend laughed and said why do have so much interest in tis idea like he has had one for ever.
Omega can handle the basic questions sleuth don't stop keep going i will be back later unless you reply but i am burried.
I have always believed that a true hack is someone that doesn't want to be pointed or controlled for mew it was just i need it right right now. And of course a man down or payroll. If i didn't kick the door down then i would be in the Microsoft forum across street. yet we all stay on windows what lovely world

I mean come on i don't need to tell you download the t-mobile client tell me what you say anything t-mobile is crackable they based of cracker land and they believe in sharing or taking the entire industry ewho cares the clinet you have may be dead but who knows
You need a way to talk to the pbx with your cell. So let give you facts thier are no parameters and 80
% is marketing i know i iwrite the pityches
So take a client 98 it does not matter if it works on cups and yarn it will easly transition
For instance i install cabs until my phones crash and let me tell the big boys cabs work on all mobile so i believe and again i don't know if you read the t mobile site like view the code tools page info mozzilaa the flag of who they are using is their and the client they donut know what they got it will be the full version no seciruity and wide open it the patches and upgrades r ember i didn't know that you could licenses software i just unplugged the dongle or key and went back to work. ALl businesss and they first $50,000 solutions had no security.
Anyone from overseas has a never mind sleuth its time to copy paste all the worlds carriers that how you do it. If t-mobile does not pick an aragant country and you will find someone that is exerting their dominance
All you guys reading fdeel free to drop a line on your carier i will hit them by night .
Just like abhove
they are giving you your answer. maybe not the way you want iot but a wy to go fast and efeciant.

T-Mobile HotSpot Security Statement
In providing this Security Statement and the Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQs") that follow, we want you to be better informed about the security limitations and features of the T-Mobile HotSpot service.
Our T-Mobile HotSpot network is based on wireless local area networks ("WLANs") that use evolving technology based on the IEEE 802.11b/g standards. WLANs, which enable "over-the-air" communications, may be subject to unauthorized interception and are not inherently secure. Additionally, a laptop computer, personal digital assistant ("PDA") or other device using wireless connections may be more vulnerable to unauthorized attempts to access data and software stored on the device. We therefore cannot guarantee the privacy of your data and communications while using the T-Mobile HotSpot service.
However, we have designed the T-Mobile HotSpot network and provide certain encryption technologies to better safeguard your wireless communications. We also support customer-provided security solutions, such as virtual private networks ("VPNs"), personal firewalls, and anti-virus software. For your protection, at all T-Mobile HotSpot locations your credit card or other payment card information, as well as any personal information that you send to us via our website when signing up for HotSpot service, is encrypted using secure socket layer ("SSL") technology which prevents unauthorized persons from reading that information. SSL technology is the standard for data encryption and server-side authentication for secure Web-based transactions (such as e-commerce). Additionally, we encrypt your user name and password each time that you submit them to access the T-Mobile HotSpot service.
We also offer an enhanced wireless security technology over our entire T-Mobile HotSpot network known as Wi-Fi Protected Access ("WPA") with 802.1x. Once you are authenticated onto the T-Mobile HotSpot network, WPA with 802.1x encrypts all of your data traffic when it is transmitted wirelessly from your Wi-Fi device to the T-Mobile-installed, Wi-Fi access points at each T-Mobile HotSpot location. This encryption technology helps protect against unauthorized interception of your data while it is transmitted "over the air", and it helps to mitigate against session hijacking (the ability for unauthorized individuals to access Wi-Fi service for free by using a customer's session).
You may take advantage of our WPA with 802.1x security enhancement when you install our new T-Mobile Connection Manager (version 1.5 or more current release) on your Wi-Fi device. Another advantage of the T-Mobile Connection Manager is that it automatically validates the T-Mobile HotSpot network when authenticating, thus ensuring that the customer is connected to a legitimate T-Mobile HotSpot network and not an unintended third-party Wi-Fi network.
The new T-Mobile Connection Manager is available for download at http://client.hotspot.t-mobile.com, or, if you prefer, you may obtain it in CD format at no charge from many of our retail stores and participating HotSpot locations. You can confirm that the WPA with 802.1x software is functioning by looking for the "1X" on your Connection Manager user interface. Should you have any problem
If you choose not to use the T-Mobile Connection Manager, you may use compatible WPA with 802.1x software designed by other companies. However, proper configuration of such third-party software is necessary in order for the solution to work and to mitigate against security vulnerabilities. T-Mobile does not support and cannot guarantee the functionality of third-party WPA with 802.1x software.
Please note, however, that WPA with 802.1x does not protect your data when it is transmitted over the Internet. Once you connect to the Internet, it is your responsibility to use appropriate encryption technologies such as a VPN or to use websites that offer SSL technology. We do not provide protection for any Internet communications. You should be especially careful when transmitting user names, passwords, credit card numbers, financial data and other sensitive and confidential information across the Internet without ensuring that appropriate security precautions are in place. Depending on your situation, these communications may be transmitted without encryption and may be vulnerable to unauthorized interception in the HotSpot location or on the Internet.
T-Mobile HotSpot strongly recommends you take measures to secure your Wi-Fi devices and Internet communications. We encourage and support many customer-provided security solutions, such as VPNs, personal firewalls, anti-virus software and the use of websites that provide SSL encryption for your data. It is your responsibility, however, to take these precautions and provide security measures best suited to your situation and intended use of the service. We do not currently provide these solutions and cannot guarantee or otherwise be responsible for their effectiveness.
Please note that appropriate safeguards should be used for any type of wireless technology or Internet access via any service provider. If you are interested in learning more, a few sources of additional information are: the National Infrastructure Protection Center's website at http://www.nipc.gov/publications/nipcpub/bestpract.html and CERT's website at http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/home_networks.html.
Below are some tips that can help you protect yourself when using the

T-Mobile HotSpot service or any other public Wi-Fi service to access the Internet:
Use the T-Mobile HotSpot Connection Manager software which, when installed on a laptop, automatically validates the T-Mobile HotSpot network when authenticating and encrypts "over the air" communications
If you are using a browser, verify that it is using SSL to validate the T-Mobile HotSpot network via server-side authentication
Ensure that any website to which you are transmitting sensitive personal or financial information uses SSL technology. To confirm that a website is using SSL:
Look for the "https://..." in the URL address
Look for a closed padlock (or key) icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your Internet browser as indicators you are accessing a secure site
Do not ignore security warnings from the browser
Inspect the Web site address in your browser's URL field to ensure you are communicating with the correct, secure Web site
Use VPNs and personal firewalls
Use anti-virus software and keep the software updated
Be aware that others may be able to look "over your shoulder" to see your login, credit card, or other personal information while using the service. The use of a privacy screen on your computer screen may help prevent others from seeing what is on your computer.
Properly log out of web sites by clicking log out instead of just closing your browser, or typing in a new Internet address
Avoid using web-based email or instant messaging that uses clear (unencrypted) text to send information you deem confidential
Remove or disable your wireless card if you are working offline on your computer and you are not planning to connect to the HotSpot service

Epic blocking data access to specific ports

Hello all, just trying to make others aware of the same issues I am having (and also to verify that I'm not simply doing something wrong, wrongfully blaming Samsung/Sprint)
I've been having issues with Skyfire playing Video over 4G/3G so I figured, ok, its a new phone, older app, I'm sure they'll update/fix it soon.
But Now I tried using Cherry Rplayer app via both 3g and 4g again and again, it won't work over either 3g or 4g, but works fine over wifi.
What gives? Are their restricted ports written into the network config of the phone over those 2 network adapters? Sprint gouges me into a more expensive plan AND charges me $10 a month extra for "Premium" data, but still continue to block major applications that people want to use?
Can anyone else shed some light on the source and/or solution to this issue?

Sprint does not block ports or any apps from working, might be issues with your phone or the programs you are trying to use. I have Skyfire on my Epic and it works flawless, there was a new updated version that just came out on the 1st of September, but even though it was working fine for me before the update. All my "internet/data" apps all work for me. Oh, what "network adapters" are you reffering to? Not to forget, the $10 premium data charge is for the amount of data your new 3g/4g phone uses, if you are in a 4g coverage area (new areas being added constantly), you really benefit from this as there is no data cap on 4g for the premium you are paying. I'm very sure the sales rep told you all this when you were getting the phone.

I have found that some radio apps don't behave right when 4g is enabled like streamfurious and i hedartradio, some other apps don't always behave right either

I wasn't trying to be argumentative on the issue, I am in fact in a 4G area and I'm well aware of the benefits and costs (especially coming from an old grandfathered plan) associated (although given the choice, I would have chose against it simply because I don't need to exceed the typical 1-2MBPs I get on 3G), and a cap is not an issue with 3G either. It comes down to speed alone, but I digress, I've made peace with it.
The "network adapters" I'm referring to is in reference to how they're referred to in Linux/Android. My hypothesis is that if sprint is not in fact blocking it on their network (and I don't believe they are, simply because I have the same issue on both 3G and 4G, where 4G is operated by clear and would be a different company that would have to block both services). I DO believe they have modified the phone's networking config in the phone itself in such a way to prevent those ports from being used on those 2 "interfaces" (the 4G radio and the 3G radio, each acting as an interface). The phone itself must have 4 such "interfaces" represented, one for each radio (3g, 4g, wifi, + bt) (plus any additional vpns). They will generally have either one config file per interface, or one config file with 4 sections to it dictating how it will be used (including ip address configs, interface parameters like wpa passwords, etc), as well as more network config files concerning network traffic permissions (where they would restrict port access) which can be specific to any/all interfaces. This is exactly the same as setting up a firewall in linux (blocking ports on your internet interface, but not your home lan interface), except it is blocking applications we WANT to work.
Also, can you please confirm for me that your skyfire works using the "video button" on the bottom left corner on both 3G and 4G? I ask because mine will work fine via wifi but not 3G or 4G. Again, I apologize if my post sounded like a rant, my only intent is to make others aware of a potential problem that needs fixing, or to discover that it is some other problem entirely which may or may not be my fault for doing something stupid or overlooking something.

Have you tried to see if it is in fact disabled for you as well? I'm trying to confirm that this is a universal issue and isn't say a conflict between 2 applications I've installed together. All info on this well help nailing down the cause. Thanks!

I downloaded and tried this using the video link at the bottom left over my 3G connection, and it works just fine for me. No issue getting anything to load whatsoever.

Caught wifi sharing

As of tonight I have been getting an sms from t-mo U.S. everytime i start up the wifi sharing. This is the message "Free T-Mobile Msg: Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi Sharing access has been blocked. Please add a Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi......."
I never used it much so its not the end of the world, nor am I here to discuss wether or not it is. I am more interested in simply understanding how it is that they determine I was using the data on my laptop as opposed to my phone. Im sure others have discussed how this could be done in the past but I specifically curious how T-MO US detects this.

Because your phone turns into a NAT router and a major carrier's proxy server is not exactly monitored by one fat slob in a basement.

The moment you open the browser on your laptop you give the game away. Each request for a web page carries information on the browser you are using. If the browser is non-mobile then they know you are tethered.
You say you never used it much but I spoke at length with an AT&T tech regarding tethering and he told me that they don't actively look for non-mobile browsers but rather they look at the data usage. Mobile browsers tend to request the mobile friendly pages with less data so large chunks of data trigger a flag.

I have been with T-MOUS tech for the better part of the day, apparently my apps that are not working are being recognized as tethering activity by the network. No one at TMO at this point understands why but they can tell that certain applications that access data are triggering the tethering notification, rendering them unable to gain network access. I have had trouble getting F.IM last.fm, internet explorer (at times) yet opera browser and slacker radio work just fine. To prove to T-MO it wasn't my device we initially tested all this again on other SIM Cards and all was well. It sounds to me like they are blocking internet 80 but they assure me that is not the way they prevent tethering. They said that the new system for blocking tethering went up in the last few days at the same time they cut our throttling pt from 10gig to 5gig. I am the first to have this problem or anything similar according to tech. I must add they have been very kind and understanding, they believe me when I tell them I know something and they don't make me hard reset the device or replace battery when I told them I already did that myself. ATT never believed me and always made me repeat myself and processes.

I'm not entirely sure but I think most of the major providers just changed to the "unlimited" plan that is limited as standard so changing provider might not be a good option.
There have to be a bazillion unprotected WAP's near where ever you are...

I've experienced the same in the last 2 days. Now, when I do try to tether, it routes me to a T-Mobile site offering their tethering option for 15 bucks.

Tried the hotspot about an hour ago. so far so good
I was sharing with my zune hd, not a laptop, so that might make a difference. logged into msn messenger and sent some messages, used the FB app, and dl a song. so far no nasty-gram texts from T-mo. I'll let you know if one comes later.

that's a bit of a broad method. i have opera set to present the FireFox useragent, to bypass mobile sites, are you saying i wouldn't be allowed to do this on t mo us? surely that's illegal? i mean its not like you have to hack opera to make it do it, its a user setting.
what if you wrote your own browser? surely they can't be allowed topresume you are tethering on such flimsy evidence.it would be a bit like doing you for downloading music just because you have some speakers and a computer.
the easy way to test of course is to set your pc useragent to opera.

barring online privacy acts and what-have-you, they could easily read your header and determine that the client/laptop/tethering device does not contain mobile protocol and with reasonable doubt that traffic is getting moved fairly quickly (amount of data relay, TTL, etc) on a "mobile" device, they'll flag the activity. Changing user-agent isn't a problem when they have other concrete methods to track you by.
Like airborne aircrew said, the OP must've sent a huge amount of traffic when he's tethering. That's like saying I only tether once a month, but when I do, I download 4GB torrent...

Its not when I use my PC browser because the message comes as soon as I launch the wi-fi sharing app. If I USB tether then I get a message on my desktop browser.
I called t-mo us
Now apparently my threshold is 5g a month instead of the 10g when I signed up. Also since this tether block several apps can't get online via 3g on my HD2 such as F.IM Facebook instant messenger. (This all stinks because the reason I went to T-MO U.S. is because they never removed usb tether from winmo, and they had the threshold for speed throttling at 10 gigs. Now they have lowered my throttle to 5 gigs and expect me to pay an additional 15 to access those same 5 gigs with my laptop.)
Im not trying to start a debate on their policies or anything just after all that my HD2 itself can't access that value raped service with some apps.
***I added the Wi-Fi Internet sharing app to the phone my self. This is why its so puzzling that they message me as soon as I launch the app.

You'll need to do some digging on local state laws but down under if you've signed a term contract the carrier can only upgrade your plan (e.g. 10G to 15G) not downgrade your service until the contract expires. With tactics like that I'd be looking at another carrier and port your phone number across.

Yep same here - in my T&C it said that if they change your plan and give you less, you have the right to get out of it there and then.

Very interesting cause the customer service rep admits that I had a 10g throttle point that is now 5g and also admits that the sales rep would have told me I'm allowed to use the built in tethering app modestly. This was my first attempt to tether in several months, and the one time I reached the 10g throttle point I didn't own a laptop so it was all done through the handset. I imagine I'll easily hit the new throttle point now even if I never utilize tethering. Heres and interesting thread over on the t-mo us forums. Someone talks a little bit about how T-Mo determines someone is tethering. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/myTouch-4G/tethering/m-p/551487/highlight/false#M5025

T-Mobile just stopped my phone from tethering

got a text at 12:08am saying it may be shut off and then at 12:19am they did.
thanks T-Mobile for nothing i got this phone just for that reason (hd2 leo)

If your contract states tethering is allowed then point that out to them and demand they reinstate it.
Similarly if it doesn't mention it at all, or doesn't say they can withdraw unlisted services.
If it states it is not allowed then go sit on the naughty step you bad boy. Then call them and sign up for their tethering tarrif which other members in your position have mentioned.

I know I have unlimited with them and have tethered a good bit. I even had a rep say something to the effect " wow looks like you use your data plan !" and no other word was said. Usually when you get those texts it's because you haven't paid the bill.
Not saying you haven't payed it but you might want to make sure they see it as up to date. You may have exceeded your plans limit? You might want to check into that.

I have not checked my T&C, but am pretty sure that with T-Mobile in the UK, using your data connection for tethering is an extra cost and is thus not allowed on the normal data connction. I have a friend (what do you mean imaginary?) who uses their phone as their main connection to the internet for their computer for the last 4+ years and T-Mobile haven't written to her.

Curious, how can they stop tethering? This is a legit question from the technical side of things. I was under the impression that tethering is a local phone function which ports data to and from the attached computer. Other than your service provider noting data usage, how can they determine what you have attached to your phone?
Experienced XDA Guru's, please enlighten me!

are you sure that you are not past due?

Uhmm because when you are browsing the web you are sending information about what type of system you are using. If you are browsing with your phone the information being sent and requested is for a phone's OS or mobile web site. When you are tethering you are sending and requesting information for a PC. It's that simple.

OP here
My bill is up to date and paid, have yet to call and chew them out, but I got this phone just for that reason so it should be in my agreement (no contract just bought the phone outright)
but fyi when I try to tether with either the usb or wifi it comes up with a page on my browser(on my comp) of a t-mobile website saying that its no supported and to call for a the +$14.99

does not matter what rom you use as they can analyze the data packets sent along from the phone via packet sniffing. As noted above your browers sends all sorts of information such as OS and browser in use

yeah, stock but a few cabs on top (cookies and similar)
called T-Mobile and all they said was that they have "never" supported tethering but yet when asked then why was it on my phone when i bought it they quickly changed the subject.

2. Protective Measures
To provide a good experience for the majority of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth; if your total usage exceeds 5GB (amount is subject to change; please periodically check T-Mobile.com for updates) during a billing cycle, we may reduce your data speed for the remainder of that billing cycle. We may also suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, Plan, or service if you use your Data Plan in a manner that interferes with other customers’ service, our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or that otherwise may degrade service quality for other customers.

Try changing the apn to internet2.voicestream.com
Some users from the vibrant section seem to get it working again

The internet2 apn does work, but is not as good as the epc apn in terms of quality. Speed is fine. I keep getting time outs and all my IM programs go haywire sometimes. wap apn is affected. Have not tried the internet3 apn (vpn)

I'm on Energy ROM and decided to try turning off my LAN and turn on USB Tethering from my HD2 just to see what would happen (TMOUS), working fine as usual, no problems and no errors. Streaming Jim Rome, checking my email, and posting this reply all tethered.
Maybe try flashing NRG and see what happens?

Maybe t-mobile did this manually maybe you kept tethering and passing 3gb led them to believe your tethering. I use alot of data on my phone and I only gotten close to 2.5gb max so maybe their checking people who are using more than certain amount of data to get them to pay for the tethering plan but who knows I'm just wondering.

*HELP PLEASE* Before you say use search

I have, and I found a ton of articles that are similar to what I need but in reverse. Allow me to explain, I have a Epic 4G and iTouch now I would normally use WiFi and get my internet with that but here is the problem. At my office we are not allowed to use Wifi as it is a financial institution as it would open the door up for all kinds of security issues which I understand but then we also have sh*tty cell service on this entire floor.
Here is what I am trying to do, let me know if you can help or at the very least point me in the right direction.
10MB Office Connection > ==== > Desktop + Linksys Bluetooth Dongle > ==== > Epic 4G/iTouch
You see I can teather find to a laptop and get internet on it, my issue is I want to do it in reverse I want my Epic and/or iTouch to piggy back off of the bluetooth connection from my machine.

Damn that is a really hard problem you have there.

I spent a hour trying to find an answer to your solution. If you could use wifi from your phone it would be an easier solution but just wifi damn that is tough.

I think you misunderstood my question, I cannot do that as I would need to install software that would allow outbound traffic (software installed on PC is a No-No) for the most part, but I can use the BlueTooth Dongle which I know allows for ICS...just unsure how to configure it.

So my question is can I use my desktop to setup ICS with Windows 7 to share my internet connection with my Epic 4G / iTouch via a bluetooth dongle....not via USB (which would require drivers) or wifi (which would require a card and drivers + software)...

well im not sure i think you can but why dont you buy a hot spot it safe you all the trouble. and its your own personal spot

He has terrible service at work. That's why.

We do not have Wifi at my office...it woul dbe too easy for someone to be on a lower level floor and hack our it....its a hedge fund company so they are REALLY sensitive over money, my issue is I cannot check any emails while on the move (say in the server room, un the break room, anywhere in the office) and its more complex than that....I know your thinking "Why not just use your computer", I am not supposed to check any email other than my company email on this PC which is why I was looking for a method for connecting without using wireless (as we do not have it here) and I figured bluetooth would have been a good option. Question, are there any Modded Roms that support Ad-Hoc connections??

Will connectify work? It turns your internet enabled pc with a wifi chip or card into a wifi access point. Unless they scan and check for wifi.

Sounds like you are trying to by-pass the exact security procedures they have in place to prevent protected data from being accessed inappropriately. If your phone can use bluetooth to connect to your computers internet, then anything on your phone could compromise your computer and internet connection.
I would say, either switch cell phone providers to find one that has coverage in your office, or don't surf the internet or check personal email on your companies time.

You do realize that the data will still go through your computer, right? If you aren't allowed to pull personal data onto that computer, then you can't get the data through said computer onto another device without violating that rule.

I realize that but it is not just personal email, I freelance my skill set out and there are times when I am requested and do not find out about it until after I get off of work and a few times (more times than not) the issues could have been resolved with me MSTSC'ing into end users machine to resolve the issue...

So, you don't think that the data will be transmitted over the corporate network, through the corporate proxy and firewalls and logged because you are doing the actual browsing via your phone? I think your only option is ask IT for an isolated network drop that you are allowed to use to check your personal email (and do paid consulting for other people using their resources) or give up. If you were in my company and I got wind of your attempts to bypass the IT policy by using BT dongles, or any other method you'd be asked to leave, especially doing work for your "side clients" while you should be doing the work I'm laying you for.

Yeah, your problem is your boss gave you permission because he only understands part of the issue. Those policies are designed to protect the company from internal threats as much as external, but he only has the fairly common knowledge about wifi as one possible route to compromisation.
Regardless, personal matters should only be handled on personal time - he isn't paying you to fix anything outside of the company. What you're attempting to do by freelancing on the clock is called double dipping, and I'd bet that if you laid all your cards on the table, your boss would take issue with that aspect of it. Besides, no company would fully trust employees by gambling on the hope that they won't try to steal confidential information, given the opportunity - they realize there is always a risk of such a theft occurring, but they would never do anything to make it easier, which is exactly what such a connection would do.
You said the entire floor has poor reception - it is not unheard of for companies to insulate their property to block cell reception for security purposes... you may be honest and upstanding, but you could also be trying to circumvent security measures. We have no way of knowing, but this entire plan sounds suspect.

"double dipping" and I would say conflict of interest. This is a shame, why people always try to find a loophole to do what they want instead of what they're supposed to be doing at work.
