I have been downloading alot of p2p data on my LTE plan, I have noticed every once in a while the internet connection completely stops even though I have 4 bars of LTE signal. Turning mobile data on and off does not solve it and activating then deactivating aeroplane mode sometimes works. Rebooting the phone always works. I have noticed it usually cuts off after downloading a lot of data via utorrent however a few times it cuts off without this condition being met. This phenomenon is one I have noticed only after using my phone for very large data downloads, I've been using my phone for a few months now without this issue.
I am using a GT-I9505 model which is rooted and has the google edition 4.4.2 installed.
What could be the problem and how do I fix it?
Many thanks.

Maybe your operator is blocking p2p ?

I highly doubt it, p2p traffic is blocked on my network anyway however I use a VPN to mask all my data, and when it cuts off it is not just p2p but all data even after VPN has been turned off. I also called them and asked whether there is any sort of fair usage policy which applies to my contract which may throttle my data and there is absolutely not. I think it is an issue with the phone.

Try download some large files in stock browser or like install a big game in play store to see if your connection gets killed due to over amount of data stream or not.
If connection maintains in play store or stock browser downloading but got killed in p2p , I'd say it's related to it, it's very reasonable they do it, lots operator all over the world blocks it...

so going to alaska to work for 3 months with my dad and brother. Brother says he cannot use his HTC HD2 up there with T-mobiles network so they will allow us to get unlock codes for them and then we will use AT&T's Unlimited talk and text but we would like to see if there is a way to use the Wifi on our phones to surf the web on either browsers. We would be doing small things like checking our email and bank accounts.
Any help would be appricatied

Absolutely, as long as you're within range of a wifi network that you have access to (i.e. one at your home/office or a public access point like starbucks, stc). You don't have to have a data plan to use the wifi, if that's what you're wondering
Another thing to remember if you have a nationwide plan with TMO using other towers is usually not a problem.
At home I use an AT&T tower about 30% of the time, I live in the boonies , so a nationwide plan has no roaming charges no matter who's tower you are using ...

haha I wish that it would even get a bit of service. Brother is already there and he says he can't even make a call without losing service. T-Mobile said they will suspend service for 3 months or how ever long it takes and will add it to our 2 year contract.
And so he trys using Wifi which the building he stays in has and when he goes into opera or internet explorer he gets an error, trying to find the error from him and will post. Does anybody know if their is settings that need to be changed. He is checking this by turning off the phone radio and only connecting to wifi. He does not want to be charged extra by AT&T, thanks for your help.
we do have custom roms on our HD2's. FYI

Sounds like the phone is not getting everything it needs from the access point, some type of misconfiguration, needs to make sure he is getting and IP address , gateway and DNS servers .... should browse over wifi without using the phone radio with no problem, do it all the time at home ...
But if you are just going to be web browsing, turning off the phone radio does save some battery ...

So I basically found out that the network adapters were set to manual config and I should set them to automatic. Which I did and was able to connect to recieve my mail and go on the web via wifi with radio turned off but this is at my home which is my belkin.
I then tried calling him and having him set it up (he's not so tech savy) and he was connected to linksys and it still gave him the errors, He is going to the office of the company he works for to see if he can get the password for the other wifi network that is on the list. He sees people on their laptops browsing internet. So maybe i'll just buy a little Netbook for going up there.
Thanks for all your help you guys.
I have been taking advantage of the all you can eat data on the 3 network UK. They currently allow you upto 80gb data transfere in one month on your phone. Up till now it has been working great but since last night, 30th Sept it refuses to connect for wireless tether. Normal internet on the phone is fine, I am using it now to post this. Even with apps from the Market, such as Wireless Tether, Barnacle and Open Garden wifi, the same problem still persists. I have even tried to connect on a risky open network with no password but the same could not connect message is displayed. I have tried going back onto Roms where I had no problems with tether and still can't connect. I have task 29 and loaded everthing from scratch and still the same. I have also cleaned my similar, nothing seems to work.
Has 3 UK changed the apn settings for tethering as they offer this on another plan they have or perhaps the solution is more simple to fix.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

They probably have it User Agent filtered. So there servers see that the User Agent is of desktop origin and not mobile. You may have to google around for a way around it. Im sure there has gotta be one. Im starting to hate how all these cell phone companies wanna charge for tethering. Data is data, period. How can using my laptop to browse the web be any more costly to the cell provider? If anything it would use more data, but if there is a cap then thats my problem not anyone else's. -.- why is everything about money all the time?!
Well yesterday I was tethering like i've done every day on my device and I kept getting redirected to a tmobile webpage telling me to pay an extra $15 per month for tethering.
My T989 Sgsii is using CM7 and there is no tmobile tethering software on the device. Is anyone else able to tether? Im on a prepaid contract have have tethered every day for free since last december.
Im guessing tmobile is blocking my tethering on the network end, since all blocking/tethering management software has been removed from my phone.
Any advice? If i cant tether, i cant use up all 5 gigs i pay for, so ill probably get a cheaper plan or switch to straight talk.
Seems like we have the same problem?
I made a post on the Nexus One forum aswell.

Yup. Looks like we both have the same problem.
Tmobile must be somehow able to detect when my computer tries to hop on their network and blocks it.
Can anyone else who uses tmobile comment on this?
They're mainly catching you by looking at the headers of your http traffic, and assuming that http requests with desktop browser strings are coming from tethered PCs. If you change them to spoof Android's browser, T-mo can't tell the difference.
They could probe more deeply if they wanted to, but as a practical matter, they don't. If they blindly dip the net into the stream and just look for http traffic with desktop-browser identities, they can effortlessly catch 99% of the people who tether.
If you really want to hide your tethering from them, just subscribe to a PPTP VPN service like ibvpn.com. It's around $5/month (~$37 if you pay for the whole year up front), it'll TOTALLY hide what you're doing from T-Mobile (because all they'll see is an encrypted bitstream), and also comes in handy for using a wi-fi tablet with public access points (the reason *I* subscribe).
Just be careful to make sure your network connection doesn't drop while you're tethered, because there doesn't seem to be any way to tell Android, "Establish this VPN whenever there's connectivity, and DO NOT send ANY data via ANY means besides the VPN". If your connection drops, the VPN will break, and if the phone reconnects to T-Mo a half second later, it'll just silently send all network traffic going forward straight through T-Mobile until you reconnect to the VPN.

best advice ive received so far - i was wondering how they were able to tell i was tethering. so i guess ill just need a browser that supports changing of the user agent? or is it more complicated to browser spoof?
I got the same message two days ago with a prepaid account on a CM9 exhibit ii
I'm not sure just changing the ua would help though because I'm getting the redirect on my android tablet as well, not just my laptop
The headers also give them an idea if more than one unit is being serviced, ie: hotspot. Encryption hides this as well. Bottom line? They will see tethering if they look for it.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I just use Opera. It hasn't failed me yet.
I believe the tether detection works by looking at the TTL for packets. It would be more than it should be if the client is using the device as a gateway. Thing is HTTPS still works once you've been "blocked" as well a bunch of other protocols, so it looks like they are just setting a captive portal for port 80 traffic. That said, I have a Zentyal VPN set up at home on my 50mb/s line, so once tethered I VPN into my home machine which then resets my gateway on my laptop to be the gateway on the VPN machine at home. This redirects ALL traffic through the VPN effectively side stepping t-mobiles blocking altogether. So as long as they still allow any data connections over my data plan while tethering than I can access everything like normal. One positive side effect is that general browsing seems to be MUCH faster given that the traffic is really actually being downloaded from my home connection and being siphoned through the VPN rather than having the phone itself and t-mobiles crappy gateway doing all the work.

Not to mention, everything is encrypted so t-mobile cant track any of my surfing habits either. I dont know about you all, but I tend to trust my ISP a little more than my wireless carrier.
So the issue has been solved.
I can tether on tmobiles network with no issues as long as i DONT use google chrome. Safari and Firefox access webpages no problem. Chrome has a user agent string which tmobile is able to see - and block by default on their network.
I'm on Tmobile w/ my Droid 3, stock OS. I tether once in a while, only use Chrome for browsing, and I've never gotten redirected.

I was using chrome all day today. First half of the day it was fine (and every other time before this but I've only had them for less than a month), but then after I started pushing maybe a gig through netflix in addition to using chrome THEN chrome stopped working. Had to use a user agent extension to get chrome working again.
So it might be a trigger set off by data usage to THEN check for the user agent

Makes sense. TMobile doesn't appear to have refarmed Portland yet, so when I do tether, I don't end up using that much data, what with being stuck on 2G and all.
Please look at my post regarding T-mobile tethering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26649587#post26649587
The methods employed by t-mobile to detect tethering are quite frivolous and an asinine move on their part. Their detection does not even work properly.

fix for Tmobile blocking tethering with usb cable
To fix your issue just change your user agent in IE or Firefox. If you dont know how to do that just google change Useragent for IE or firefox.
Hopes this helps.

First off I do believe you have to have unlimited data or use a VPN App to bypass your usage restrictions. Both companies have been unlawfully cracking down on data usage and overcharging our "unlimited" plans. So, without further ado this is how I have come of maintaining true unlimited tether usage!
Here is everything I have configure thus far with MetroPCS/T-Mobile that works 35/35 Mbps.

Wifi Tether Router DHCP Settings:

Next, I use Free Tethering Unlocker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2439424
Okay, so I've realized other methods have stopped working. The only method I have consistently work is the "Native Tether" option I explained previously. If the "Free Wifi Tether Unlocker" doesn't seem to help I suggest you use SQLite to modify the file: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, find wifi_tether_dun, click on it and change the value from 1 to 0 (some brands use "tether_entitlement_check_state" or other names, just remember the default value before you change to 0. Good luck!
SQL Table
Looking for the Tether* field in the sqlite file. I have searched manually, but cannot find it. Would you happen to know what table it is in? I looked for anything that might be related to tether but only found is_phone_provisioned.
Also FYI the link tether unlocker is 404.

I suggest rebooting your phone after you make the suggested changes, then activate the hotspot. If you could possibly tell me the error as well. While in windows left click on your wifi icon in the taskbar, then right click your connection and click "status" and then "details", from there take a screenshot of your settings so I can verify it looks correct.
I will do and get back with you. Thanks for the help. I have my own way of getting Wifi Tether to work as a hotspot but it makes my phone hot as hell and sometimes I feel like I should just get better speeds. The normal hotspot don't heat my phone like this.

I have followed your step minus the sql as i cannot find the table. I do not know to what extent it works but it does work for me to some extent. Hulu.com wasnt loading much but since I have windows 10 I downloaded the hulu app and it is streaming fine for me.
This is the result that I got from speedtest I do not know how good or bad this is compared to my regular tethering.
Cant post url will find an alternative
Two problems that I have encountered is one that it displays the setting set through my regular hotspot not throught the wifi tether app so I do not know if I am just using regular tethering or what also i do know that I exceeded my 8gb limit. Also I experienced the wifi going out and I would need to restart it through the app I havent configured if it works also just by re enabling the wifi in settings. I also do not know if it may be because of my screen going off.
I also changed the setting from wan0 to auto.
Some sites such as google loads extremly fast and other load slow may be the content such as flash or something I heard it could be flash I do not know if hulu runs of flash.
Thanks hopefully it works fine , I just do not know if the speeds for the test are good or not. Would the speed be better through usb? Please inform me and if so how would this work would it be through PDANet? As i tried and would not get a connection.

It is possible you need to alter your DNS settings. In the Wifi Tether Router settings go to DHCP settings and make sure your DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, in my APN settings I have them both regular and roaming type set to IPv6

Sometimes if you have a RAM cleaner app it will kill the process, especially if you have an unpaid for apk as well, Fabio has his app secure when it comes to piracy so I do suggest you buy it if you haven't already.

After changing apn as you instructed get the new foxfi. When you turn on hotspot click the 3 little dots and turn on proxy server...works great, still shows that small amount of tether is used, just to get connected(only like 15mb) once multiple proxy start can use many gb before even getting 100mb.

Hi everyone,
I've got a Samsung M30s a month ago, and I never had issues until now.
Google Play Store and Youtube started working very very slowly maybe a week ago, and now they literally do not load anything whenever I am connected to the Wifi.
Both the apps work fine on mobile data, and Youtube works fine when I open it on the Google Chrome app.
I've tried every troubleshooting I found:
-Clearing cache and data from both apps and Google Play Services;
-Resetting the phone;
-Changing the WiFi DNS to Google's parameters (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4);
-Logging in and out of my Google account numerous time, and relogging directly from the Play Store,
-Turning off all data savers option;
-Turning off all battery saving options;
-Disabling IPv4 or IPv6 on the WiFi.
About my wifi: I am using a router that does not belong to me, but it is an hotspot of my home provider (Vodafone) that i can use for free since I am their client on another WiFi at my parents house.
I tried connecting both to the wifi with my log in details directly or using my computer hotspot as a middle point.
I cannot currently go to my parents house to see if the issue persist using a personal wifi connection (as we are on a strict lockdown here in Italy).
The phone is not rooted nor it has the bootloader unblocked, I like modding and have experience with a lot of Samsung devices but I like the Samsung One interface and I don't want to void the warranty so soon.
My current software version is PPR1180610011M307FNXXU2ASL2.
The phone model is SM-M307FN (European version with the Exynos chip).
I am writing here because everything I tried literally hasn't worked and I really don't know what else to do.
Has anybody else experienced this issue?
Try on wifi from another Internet provider
I do not think it is a matter of phone itself
But: how does Youtube work on a laptop connected to same wifi ?

That's my question too. For what's worth i tried connecting to a phone hotspot (so internet passing through mobile data) and things still don't work.
Youtube works fine on all laptops i know connected to the wifi.
Also worth nothing: when I change DNS to 8.8.4.4. And 8.8.8.8, the situation goes back to normal for a few minutes and then it slows down again.
Question: does the same issue persist even while using a VPN?

Yes to a certain degree. I tried a couple of a vpn with different location (namely USA and other parts of Europe), and the apps did work faster but the issue appeared after a scrolling down the page for a couple of times. I contacted Samsung Support and they told me it is a known issue for a good number of people and that Google is working on it (here's the link to the support Google forum:https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/40380785?hl=en ).
I guess there'ss nothing to do but to wait.

Have never come across such a weird and specific issue, hope they fix it soon
i have a similar issue with google play store.....also i noticed one thing is that even though i have turned on auto updates & am connected to the wifi the entire time(literally) the apps never update on their own....at one point when i checked the apps i had over 30+ apps to update(some of them were system apps)......& yes youtube is lagging for me as well...
