[Q] mobile hotspot hack - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was using my S4 as access point to share my internet connection with someone and he was able to steal my data on the phone (text messages, pictures, ...)
I don't know how he did it, but I know it's true
Did you know that it's possible? how to prevent this ? antivirus apps are useful ?

It might have something to do with DLNA?

That's y u should use a vpn

Prevent connecting to internet?

Hi, just wondering if there is any app that will block all applications from accessing the internet thru data connection (not wifi), unless given express user approval - like a zonealarm popup or something? I hope something like this exists, as I want to make sure I don inadvertently connect since I only get 10 megs a month...
Any suggestions much appreciated!!
Install the Modaco Nodata cab file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66173&d=1200491671)
Then you can toggle (on/) off the connection you dont want to use

Program to Block Data Connection from certain program

Hi,
jUst wondering if anyone knows a prgram out there that can prevent certain program/s to use internet (grps, edge, hdspda. , wifi )
Cheers,
Just use this one here http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...daco-nodata-internetverbindung-aus-nodata.zip and you'll be fine!
hi, thanks alot 2SWIFT
but that is not exactly what i need.
I require an app/tool which allows most programs to use data connection, except A FEW nominated ones.
so i can put certain programs to never download data. Sort of like a Block/Ban List.
Any ideas anyone?

Disable Wifi Access! Any suggestions please?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200, and due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our mobile devices.
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.

What are you talking about? Disable wifi? Why do you start it at the first place?
Internet access on mobiles can be done by active synch, data connection, wifi. It 's up to you to disable them by comm manager and active synch.
Maybe I get you wrong. What exactly do you need to stop?
Hi fresco,
thanks for the reply. Well, the organisation wants to prevent the devices from having the ability to connect to the internet.
I understand that there may not be a complete solution, but at the very least I would definitely like to disable wifi completely, since this is what I've read others have done. The devices do not have data connection plans, hence this option isn't a problem.
Apparently I can disable the wifi by altering the registry keys? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
hiya...
any ideas guys?
can anyone direct me to anything that could be remotely useful to the above?
Thanks
Hi alan,
let me get this straight.You work at an organization that has unencrypted wifi access
but doesn`t want it`s employees using it?
If your company`s wi-fi network gives access to the internet to anyone that connects to it why doesn`t the IT manager set a password to the network or enable mac filtering (prevents unauthorized devices-mac addresses from connecting to the network)?
I don`t know how you would disable the wifi chip from the registry
but if i were you i would buy a second phone for work use only.
SKTools
Try SKTools maybe there is a solution in the app.
You can disable the WiFi in registry:
Go to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware]" and change the WiFi string to 0.
In the Comm. Manager the WiFI is disappeared and you are not able to connect.
thanks brainmaster.
the method that you suggested only removes the wifi display from comm manager, however that can easily be bypassed using the windows menu, to open wifi.
thanks...
then delete that one from the windows menu from Device > Windows > Start Menu

Any way to fully enable wap for applications on x10??

Hey everyone!
i was just wondering if there is any way to enable wap for applications in x10?
we can only use the main browser through wap...!
we can't use timescape or facebook or ebuddy or marketplace, track id or any other application.
any solution for this?
Thanks
Is it just me, or are you talking about you're self in third person?
And why do you refer to it as wap? anyway.. I do not have any problems with the internet connection on my phone.

[Q] Noob Wifi Tether question

Ok please forgive my ignorance but how is it that the Mobile AP and wifitether apps let you tether for free. What I mean is, what about them is different from the built-in hotspot app? The hotspot app does not ask you to login or register or anything so how does Sprint know the difference. Is there something in the app itself that notifies Sprint of it being used? And if that is the case wouldn't it be easy to block that outbound communication? I appreciate those of you who are willing to help me understand this.
