Hi guys, I'm a programmer and network manager, with celphone I have few expertise, but in Linux I know a bit more.
The problem is:
The Native Browser of my Atrix just acces the Internet over the WI-FI, if I try to acces the internet using the 3G connection, the error appears that was unable to open the SITE.
I rooted my phone, installed a SSH server and enter on my Android (Linux) and tried a few tricks but not sucefully.
When I'm connected over the Wi-Fi or 3G the ifconfig, ping, route, resolv.conf and tracerroute work perfect (in the botth types of connection).
Unfortunately I was not able to find something like browser.conf yet.
I really don´t undertand what is the problem with this browser, and I need to solve that, 'cos the native browser is the only one that runs FLASH (dammmm it).
I accept any kind of help, any sugestions will be very welcome.....
ps.: sorry me if I typed some spells or gramatical errors, but english is not my first language and never studied english.

Hi all,
I've had my phone Englished for the past couple days, everything is working well here.. Japanese input, the works.
I am now attempting to set up the OpenVPN client on the phone so that I can do Yahoo, MSN, etc. I've got it so close that I can taste it, but I'm not quite there. Right now it establishes the connection to my server, and sets the VPN connection up as the default gateway. When I traceroute or ping outside the network, it uses the VPN connection as it should. Even sending UDP packets works (DNS queries to external servers is fine, for instance) -- all has been verified by looking at tcpdump output from the server machine.
However, when the phone tries to send a TCP packet (HTTP, for instance), right away I see a "TCP Connection Error" message, and actually the OpenVPN server never even sees the packet. This is the case with either NetFront or Agile Messenger.
I'm so close I can taste it -- as I said, ping and traceroute work just fine. Has anyone else had any success using OpenVPN?
Thanks,
- awh
I just want to verify -
did you follow MixerSoft instructioned on this web site of how to change Softbank X01HT from Japan OS to English OS, or did you ask Softbank to install English OS your phone? because i'm planning to purchase one in Japan.
thanks in advance.

I used openvpn some time ago and din't had this problems (3G vodfone spain connection, connecting through pocketpc openvpn client to my home linux server), evrything (tcp or udp) was encapsulated in the tunnel and reached the endpoint... i didn't use it for internet access, just to reach my intranet (only routed class C subnet through the tunel).
For what you say the problem seems to be on the OpenVPN server not natting correctly TCP packets, but that's just my guess... To troubleshoot use tcpdump on the server side and these tools on your pocketpc: vxutil, myipconfig and mtoken.
Hope that helps

I don't think that Softbank will install an English OS even if you asked them to. I upgraded the phone myself using a bunch of different information that I found here and there...

I think that you've just coming to Japan, if you live for along time about 3 months, you was not asking like that. You will never get any phone have only English without Japanese, only Japanese is ok!
I a PDA, you can have only one language version, that is Japanese (because the Japanese seem to be very hate English, because it very hard with them). And you cannot ask Softbank to install English OS for you, if you don't like, go away!!!

what is the point here?
My Schools network uses clean access agent, which checks to make sure your windows device has the correct authentication. It will not let me go on ie, as it sees that I do not have the correct Virus protection etc. However it lets you use Opera, as it just lets it bypass the checks because none are in place for it.
I can use Opera or Skyfire, that isn't a prob. But when I try to use a program that connects to the Internet such AIM or QuickGPS, It won't work. Im assuming that the program is using IE to access the data. Although I have no idea how a program connects to the Internet (Does it use a browser?) Anyway, is there a way I can change the settings to get the program to use Opera?
Thanks,
I'm not sure that it will work, but you could try changing your default browser.
There are many threads in the forum with this information, Here's one, do a search for others.
hey, if you talk to your university's computer support team, they may tweak their internet settings so mobile browsing can work. i go to western connectisut state university, and i e-mailed the computer center with this problem (i dormed on campus and the ResiNET they used blocked me as well b/c i didnt install clean access agent. the university's network read my device as if it was a desktop since they blocked me saying i needed to install that ****ty software). once i did that, they e-mailed me back saying they updated their systems so i was able to use the web-based login, and then i began surfing the net. once u logged in, you should be able to update the GPS & use AIM with no real problems.
i hope this helps! there isn't a real way to bypass the system. believe me, i tried searching for ways to bypass the system. changing your default browser won't remedy it b/c the network only reads IP addresses and the fact information (doesn't matter what it is) is being pass through its network, it will block it without proper ID keys from the web-based log in. i even tried searching for a mobile version of cisco clean access agent but there isnt such software. like i said, talk to your university computing center and they can help you. it is really up to them to be able to change the settings around.
Well I searched the forums all over the interweb for a week now, and did not find an answer so I post.
I live in China and as part of the Expat Survival Kit I run an OpenVPN service to solve my facebooktwitteryoutoube problems. The provider is strongvpn.com, or other name reliablehosting.com - reliable, they are, and responsive and helpful and everything.
The VPN uses a San Francisco server, so anytime I fire it up on my PC, I have a USA IP, and can access Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Pandora et al. Bingo.
I struggled days to hack this connection on my Hero, and finally managed, it works, it connects. Apparently.
Now here is the hick:
- I connect on the Hero with TunnelDroid, using my original StrongVPN config file. It takes some time, but usually connects, either WiFi and Edge.
- I check my external IP, it's the good old Frisco one, I seem good to go
- I can surf sites like e.g. Amnesty International, impossible without VPN. I can use Pandora, so definitely I have US IP. Eventually if there is an embedded Youtube vid somewhere, I even can see and try to start it (although it's dead slow)!
- But, none of the social integration features work. I can not log in into twitter, facebook etc, and when I try to visit those sites with the browser, I have the same result as without VPN, nada. Timeout, service unavailable, technical problem, you name it
Now, if there is any developer / network or VPN expert / GFW operator / Google guru around... I really want to understand exactly what the problem can be - that would help some fellow Hero owners here in China
I changed the "hosts" file that I found on some forums... I tried to boost the process with some web proxy... Tried everything - nothing works.
How is it possible that I'm behind a VPN, I have American IP reported by any software you can imagine, and still I'm blocked, while everything works fine on the PC with the same VPN connection???
I can live without these apps and sites on my Hero...but can not live without finding out the truth
你有没有把DNS设置成OpenDNS的地址或者GooglePublicDNS的地址？
GFW好像会返回伪造的ip，纵然你有US的IP也无法访问一个假的IP，对吧
Ok,if you're hard to read Chinese...
Use a OpenDNS address or Google Public DNS address instead of ISP's,All of those DNS server are GFWed.They'll reply a fake ip address of Youtube.
Not working
Thanks,
I tried this way, but still no result.
How can ANY filter get through an 1024-bit secured openVPN connection anyway????
And on the PC, the same connection works flawlessly...
Is there any routetable or something like that?a modified hosts?some ROMs will do that.
a VPN connection will route all of your data in normal,but if you set a routetable,some special URL will not pass the VPN,
check them or flash a foreign ROM instead and try again.
Good luck
AFAIK the standard Hero kernel does not come with the tun.ko driver (which is necessary to capture the outgoing traffic and redirect it to the tunnel). Did you install a custom kernel, too? E.g. newer MoDaCo images have it by default.
I did nearly everything...modified hosts. Running MoDaCo 3.0 with newest 1.9 Tekn. kernel. Installed the openvpn binaries. And the connection WORKS, just not for everything...
Anybody in China who can use the social networking features on the Hero?
Ps: the reoutetable, I don't really know where to look it for...
I don't know the answer, but you can debug it yourself with a computer and wireless access point:
Hero <--wifi--> AP <--ethernet--> Computer running packet sniffer <--Internet-->
A few comments:
Don't consider Pandora as proof of a US IP. Better check on a website that gives actual info about your location.
The comments about OpenDNS and hosts files are helpful, but both assume that the wrong IPs are not already cached somewhere. Make sure all caches (DNS, browser, etc.) are flushed.
The easiest way to find out if the DNS is the problem is to do a ping to youtube.com and see if the IP range really belongs to Google or of it's a random IP elsewhere. You can use a 'whois' command or website to figure out who the IP belongs to.
Please note that OpenVPN does not encrypt at 1024-bit. 1024-bit is just the initial key length, which is unrelated to the 128-bit or 256-bit of the actual tunnel.
Btw, you don't necessarily need to use OpenVPN. Lighter protocols like PPTP and L2TP may perform better on a phone. China Unicom works well with both. China Telecom works fine with L2TP.

Hi,
not sure if this thread is still alive but i give it a try...
I' currently running elelinux 2.4 with [email protected] on my HTC hero and have trouble connecting to a friends VPN.
the VPN server is in Germany and it works well for my friend, who is also hosting the server. however when i try to connect the server records following:
read UDPv4 [ECONNREFUSED]: Connection refused (code=111)
and it seems that my phone is refusing the connection to the server...
any ideas?
thanks!

hi there , I don't use elelinux 2.4, but i encountered an same error with CM 7 nightly build, and I believe that is an issue of the kernel you are using for the kernel have some problem with the tun.ko moduel , here is the thread ( read from page 42 ) :
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14455-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/page__st__860
sorry , i haven't get the permission to post url here yet .
thanks for the link! seem like it does not work with my current kernel, will fash the flykernel from elelinux and try again.
Does anyone knows can i send and recieve files over wifi like the iphone. My phone is a htc prophet.
not generic way iphones are very closed platforms
if you can find a program which does it and is available for both iphones and wm then yes
otherwise you can use dropbox or livedrive or gmail and using the internet as middle station
so does anyone knows where to find such a program.
Google it and you will gett the path
do you mean datatransfer over wifi without being connected to the internet?
yes to send files from one phone to other over wifi without being connected to internet
WiFi Remote Access will solve your purpose.

no this is from ppc to pc, we want to transfer files from ppc to ppc!!

I think you can...
Lets assume, PPC1 has been configured with WiFi Remote Access.
Create an ad-hoc Open WiFi network from PPC2.
Connect PPC1 to this network.
Turn on WiFi Remote Access.
The PPC1 behaves as a server.
Open a Browser on PPC2.
Try opening the server address (as displayed on WiFi Remote Access Interface on PPC1. This is device specific).
A page should open.
Perform the password authentication on both devices, as will be prompted.
Try downloading the file from yor PPC1, the way you download usually through your browser on PPC2.
Its technically possible.
I don't have two PPCs with me to try this.
But, technically speaking, it should run flawless.
But, again you need lots of RAM on both the devices, specially on PPC2.
But, you must have a bit experience to use it properly.
And, only using it can help you know it!!!
Isn't that?
So please Use it, then reply back.
And, if this works, it can be used as a two-way protocol also.
Best of Luck guys.
today i tried it and it works perfect i transfer files much more faster than with bluetooth thanks for your help
I am an iPhone user, and don't know very much about HTC. A friend has a HTC, and he asked me to change the language, i did that, and it works. Now there are two more things i wan't to change:
1) when i don't have internet (only WIFI, because i only use 3G on a PC and it is very expensive), there is very often a popup, with writen on that i don't have internet and if i want to change settings. Can i dissable that popup because i don't want to use internet when there is no WIFI.
2) when i want to launch Marketplace, it doesn't work, it tells me that i have to download it, but i can't. I have internet connection working, and everything works, but i can't download marketplace.
Thanks
