#SecFeature.SprintHotspot
/dev/hotspot_event_monitoring


Im a super noob, but have been experimenting a lot with the TU also work on my own rom...but anyway could this be possibly whats blocking foxfi traffic, and if so...I cant find the file using any file explorers on the market...is there a way to run a ADB shell to get rid of it??

Ok couple questions.

How did you find this file this? Using ADB?

Are you being blocked now? If so so do you mind giving us a rough location.

And damn Im glad I didn't take no stinking update.

Yes I am being blocked from broadcasting Wifi.....I found this by Exploring the Dalvik.....also was browsing through Sys Apps and Found 3 different .Apk's and .Odex's with Wifi Signals, One said wifi sharing...I thought this might have been it, but I assume it was installed by a third party root tether application in a attempt to perform broadcasting...so me being curious I mounting the system as writable and deleted the files....Now my Foxi traffic shows like this 1000K/0 instead of the normal 1k/74k so it did something...just didn't fix it...

I believe the right side is for data received from the internet and the left side is for data being sent. So if this is true, then if you are getting a 1000K/0 that would mean that your phone has tried to send a thousand kilobytes and received none.

That is the exact same symptom we've been having but not exclusive to the Tu and no updates have been installed. 130 miles south of here it begins to work again. See my post a few down

Puttinng an engine in my car so no time to spend on it.

My thughts are that it would most likely be linked to boosts new $10 a month hotspot feature. Shut down the competition then charge for it. So I think you are on the right track with where your looking. If they put it in the update they are not trying to stop use by the root community. They can read forums and know we have enough copies of pre block roms kernels and firmware that it just makebs it an anoyance. But there is clear activity blocking on the network. Might be a combined effort of an app triggered by foxfi and something on the network. A tattletale.
I would try to use foxfi and then do a tmp dump find foxfi in it and look for anything that started right after. I have an app that has it as a feature but can't remember which. Have to get back to you on it.

Damn editless days.

Also most explorers you have to check view hidden folders or it woan't show you anything with a "." at the beginning.

Should check if the affected areas so far have boost 4g available we don't yet and still on.

Ok the app that does the tcp dump is AdFree its in the play store.
Sorry for the typo on that in my previous post. No edit.

Just look for foxfi in the log and whatever starts right after.

Thanks im gonna work on it later in the evening, theres definitely a few security details, and mock files they added to the new update....Tethering is more than possible tho...Hopefully when the more experienced devs get time they can use this information to figure it out, as for now ill experiment with it

I would like to see it out to the end but I've got an engine swap going on my ride and just picked up a turbo build on a sentra se-r and am taking my old ass back to school this fall so I'm out for awhile.

We've got 4g here.
