Hi,
I m trying to stop Opera 9.5 defaulting to the mobile version of the EBay website when I connect through Three 3 mobile. When I use Wifi it connects to the full webpage, when I connect through my three data connection it defaults to the mobile version H3G.Ebay and wont display the full one. Any ideas???
Maybe ebay detecting the ip and thus choosing to display the mobile version?
As Arfster said, ebay is seeing your host as coming from a mobile ISP and redirecting you to their mobile site. You could try going through an internet proxy, although I'm not sure how to acheive that.
Will perhaps do a bit more research. IE on this phone also will only display mobile site.
My N95 8gb running Opera was fine although & could get full website. I think I had to click a link on mobile website to show full version but once stored in favourites would load 1st time. This option not available now.
Was wandering about the options within the opera:config menu. ?
If I enter www.ebay.co.uk into Opera on Dutty's WM6.1 Ver 4.3 ROM it takes me to the full site. That's with default settings - I have not changed anything in opera:config.
At a guess, your N95 8GB must be on a different network?
I'm fairly certain that this is a network issue and nothing to do with your useragent string in Opera.
I would call 3 and take it up with them, as since they have got a specific address (h3g.ebay.co.uk) it would appear that 3 are the ones doing the redirecting within their network.
thats something i would like to know as well.. i hate when im using google and it opens a mobile version of websites by default. any wyay of swtiching this off? thank you
so I take it that since there aren't any further replies to any threads pertaining to this that no one has found a solution ? grr ¡malditos desgraciados!
It is not a network issue.
I had Opera 10 loading the fullpage untill 10 min ago.
Then I tryed to activate flash and now it redirects me to the mobile: same phone, opera version, network. Only changed settings.
My problem is I can't roll it back!
So I had this idea for a longer time now.
I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.
Is this possible?
It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.
But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.
The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?
Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.
It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?

DLNA
If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.
Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.

I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.
I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.
When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.
Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.

Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.
A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.
That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.
Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...
Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.

Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.
Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?
That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!

Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.

So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.
I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.
I just get some error that its not availible.
Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.
If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.

Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.
Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)
An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.

That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.

When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.
Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.
When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)
Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.
I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.

Only problem is that it uses data.

Hi Diemex
Are you sure it's "using data"?
File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.
Glad it's working for you.

Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.
The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.
Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.
Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

Time for me to update this thread!
For all of the T-Mobile users who are still trying to find a way to circumvent the user agent checking that T-Mobile does while using a third party hotspot app and don't feel like decompiling, editing XMLs, and recompiling, or messing with editing APNs, or ETC...

Also DO NOT use the native hotspot, I state this because of all the edits I've tried, the native hotspot still connects to the APN: pcwebs.tmobile.com instead of epc.tmobile.com - Which sniffs out the user agent of your browser and sends you to the upsell page.
If you're on the Galaxy S3 and JB use this app by TrevE

It, in my case, is caused by having Xposed Framework installed. The only fix I've found for it was to Titanium Backup my apps, then uninstall the Xposed Framework - requires you to boot into recovery and flash the zip file "Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip" then you have to Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik/Fix Permissions, flash your rom again, and restore from TB.

The way a VPN (Virtual Private Network) works is by anonymously masking ALL network traffic to it's destination. I hope my explaination can help those who doesn't understand how a VPN connection work. Here we go:
Normally -
A mobile device connects to service provider monitored internet. In T-Mobile's case, packets are sniffed out that contain any form of user-agent strings, and if the strings report anything other than a mobile device, internet connection is denied and you are redirected to the dreaded "upsell page".
Think of it as water with particles in it passing through sand before reaching the well of water below the sand.
If the water is your network traffic the particles in the water would represent your user agent and the sand is your service provider's filters; not all of the particles will make it through the sand and into the well if they arent small enough to pass through the grains of sand.
Using a VPN is kinda like shoving a tube through the sand and sending your water & particle mixture through the tube directly into the well below. Everything makes it through whether the particles are big or small.
Sorry its late and I probably used a bad analogy. Anywho I hope it made a bit of sense. Lol
I can help you set up your own private VPN. The problem is there's some many different types of routers available for everyone to use. The PPTP type VPN is actually set up through your router. For most people there will be an option to utilize the PPTP port within your router setup screen. Open a web browser, type in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or "routerlogin", the webpage will ask for a username and password. If you changes it, whatever your username and password is. If you didn't, the default username is "admin or administrator" and the default password is usually, "password" dig through the available settings you have and let me know if you have the option to enable anything labeled "PPTP" also let me know which router you have.

yea, so basically, you'd have to setup and only use at one place? is there a solution that will let you tether to any computer anywhere? like is there something you can just setup on the phone? I mean something we can setup as opposed to this 1click vpn which my guess is won't stay free for long.

You actually set up your home network to host you own personal VPN. So no matter where you are, your phone would always use your home network.
Your phone will still use the service provider's data service, however, it would use it only to connect to your VPN at home and then securely reroute that data back to your device. So as all of the data is moved along T-Mobile's servers the data in your VPN cannot be read by tmobile's filtering process.
So one personal vpn server would be all you need. There's an option if you check your "settings -> more settings -> VPN" that will let you use a VPN for all connections on your device. Let me know if there's anything I can clarify.

Just remember the hit on network performance. Your home network is downloading from the net, encrypting it, and uploading it to your device. This assumes you're outside your home network.

This is true, its not that bad of a lag for me here in Chicago however, normally my download speeds are between 5-7 Mbps on 4G, with the VPn running I drop to 3-5 Mbps, but I've kinda tweaked the tether apk to start OpenVPN when tethering starts and to disconnect when I turn off tethering. So for the most part I never notice the hit on my speed, I've configured packet compression on my personal VPN server. I'm using a Linksys E4200 on AT&T U-Verse. Thanks for pointing that out for me by the way Reilly, I know I've forgot to list the pros and cons of a vpn, I have a few minutes in my hectic life to hop on xda and make a few quick posts but never enough time to go into detail and proof-read my own posts.

Lol, originally I started looking for a way to bypass UA checks because I wanted to update my laptop which reports UAs as Internet Explorer through the Windows Update Center, and my Xbox 360 which also reports as IE when connected to Xbox Live. I didn't really need tethering until then. But its a pretty convenient function to have when I'm out and about.
Glad I could help out the other users on T-Mobile, lol I guess as the slogan says, "Stick Together"

Hey, thanks for the info. If you're using a VPN it should work with most wifi tether apps though, shouldn't it? I'm on a N4 and CM10.1, which I guess should have about the same tethering app as the stock firmware. Also, it should work with BT tethering, shouldn't it?
Another question, is VPN One Click really free, or is there a catch? My router doesn't seem to have the VPN option you mentioned before, and my home internet appears to be 15mb down, but only 1mb up, which would limit considerably my speed even if I did a personal VPN.

I use Wi-Fi Tether for Root Users and it works fine with VPN.
I tested with the native app, but it doesn't connect to the internet. So that's that.
With Wifi Tether for Root Users, it worked once but in a very flaky way. After that one time, couldn't get it working again. Tried many different profiles, and the one in which I don't get any log errors is forcing the generic one, forcing one of the setup methods. Apparently it doesn't work with the N4, there's another N4 user in the reviews that has problems too. Another very similar app is Open Garden's wifi tether, but it seems to be pretty much the same app as Wifi Tether for root users, has an almost identical interface and options. And of course, also doesn't work. Barnacle is another that doesn't work with the N4. By the way, this is all without even using VPN, so those aren't viable for us with the N4.
