Hey guys like the title says, I can't request desktop sites. Every time I do request it I get a T-Mobile page telling me to make my phone a mobile hotspots. I usually don't oaks around the forums and search for my answers but I just couldn't find one this time haha. Anyone gone through this and fixed it? Thanks in advanced.

Just got it yesterday... it sucks. I'm hoping someone figured it out.
I searched and found something about T-Mobile just looking at uag string or something like that and assume its tethering because of that.
I think martinokaj (or close to that) mentioned it and for him it just left couple weeks later. He tried contacted T-Mobile but it didn't help at all.

So maybe if I wait a couple of weeks or a billing cycle it'll stop doing this? I might just try calling T-Mobile see if they can so anything ...

Stock browser?
Sigh... they're still doing this.
Basically, T-Mobile rudimentarily checks to see if people are tethering by filtering user agents. They assume that if you're on the phone you'll always have a phone UAstring, and if you're on the desktop you'll always have a desktop UAstring.
Obviously this isn't true... this is the stock ICS browser and you can effectively change your UAstring to get desktop sites. Many other browsers in the market do it too.
Basically you can try to call and ***** them out. I dealt with this mid last year on my G2 because they started spamming me with this on the stock browser and my computer. I can change my UAstring manually on the computer (with a spoofer on Firefox) but its not so easy to change the UAstring and still get desktop pages on the phone.
Long story short of me talking to them and going through many levels/days of support, they claimed to not understand the problem/not be aware of this issue. Even with sending them screenshots of the problem on my phone. Eventually I just dealt with it and a few weeks later it just stopped.
I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this honestly. I suggest you either just wait it out and let it stop, or call in and get several levels up in support.
If you want, you can dig up a thread in the G2/DZ forum where another user and I got to the bottom of how they're doing this. But the basic thing is they think you're tethering for having a desktop UAstring.

Thanks a lot for this, I'll just wait it out to see if it goes away and call if it doesn't...
Have u tried using a different browser? Not sure if this would help cause it sounds like a T-Mobile thing. I use dolphin which has an add on to show desktop sites. Just a suggestion. Glad I have Verizon as I've never had this issue.
Does it do it on dolphin hd?

They're filtering all traffic identified as a desktop UAstring. Doesn't matter the browser.
Hi guys,
Few days ago my S3 received official 4.3 android update, and weird things happening after that.
When I connect to internet, via wi-fi or data, phone automatically download a small file named "files.zip". And it happening every time I turn on wi-fi or data... I can`t find this file in downloads or anywhere else. When I try to open, it says "cannot open".
Second weird thing - browser often redirect me to a advertising or span webs. For instance, I try to open youtube.com, it opens different web with advertisement.
Anyone have an ideas how can I fix this?
We need proof screen shots video something

damn your luck were still stuck on 4.1.2 if your having the issues you say you are with what sounds like maleware. have you installed anything to check phone. over here we have apps like lookout security. i kno nod makes a phone app. you could always do a factory reset back to out the box state. reinstall apps one by one to check it out. sound like you have a app with crap in it.

Factory reset helped to solve "files.zip" autodownload problem, but phone is still laggy. It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on screen when I press power button in sleep mode. Applications become laggy. I will try to reflash 4.3 via KIES, if the problem remain, back to 4.1.2 will be optimal decision.
Thanks for help guys, and sorry again for getting lost in galaxy s3 forums
I would like to know if I can have WiFi and Mobile Data on at the same time. I do not get MMS messages til I get off WiFi and also I can't get on my T-Mobile App to check minutes and data. It Keeps saying "Sorry, no data connection is available" I looked in my settings and said Mobile Data is disconnected.... Is this normal? Thanks In Advance.

Hmm... to be fair sometimes a lack of response is more a lack of confidence in any particular response that might be given. At times repercussions get ...awkward... for saying things that others might find ill informed, and as such a tendency to not say anything unless rather certain on the answer develops.
Anyhoo - I hadn't noticed the fact that the mobile network state listed itself as disconnected when connected to wifi... but ultimately (opens self up to possibly saying something stupid...) I can think of no good reason certain functions of the phone (at least mms or the tmobile app) would depend on mobile data being connected while wifi disconnected. Doing a quick test on my end - both of these functions seem to be behaving as expected while on wifi (tested with wifi calling NOT on, not sure that would throw a wrench in anything but you never know) - does the issue exist across wifi sources? That sort of thing might be something to bring up to a TMo service rep - not sure they will be of any help but given the response you've had here it couldn't be much worse, right?

Thank you for your response. I finally called Tmobile and they told me that their apps will only work on mobile data and are not meant to work over wifi even though they say my mobile data will always be on it just goes into a low power state and that MMS has to be set to auto receive which somehow was not checked. Everything seems to work fine. Just one question for you. Did i read that you said you could get on your tmobile account app with WiFi on? Again thank you very much for answering me back. Just was have a bad morning because i get alot of MMS messages for work and it got to me... Also I'm one of those guys that no believe in a stupid answer. If someone's trying to help no matter what they say I'm just greatful for the help
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I was able to, but perhaps it was just a trick of app cache as opposed to it actually working... strange they require data, you'd think if it was that much of a need they'd force it to engage and wake up the low power state instead of forcing you to turn off wifi. Ah well, learn something new everyday Sorry I wasn't more help

I have been using a SM-N900T on the ATT network by changing the APN settings, and it has been working perfectly until today. I have no internet connection, but it shows full bars, and I can still call and text. I've tried restoring to a earlier NANDROID, and even went to an ATT store and had the guy (who happened to know exactly what I did and has done it himself for his phone) try to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I posted this in the AT&T section too, but no luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same here both with AT&T and T-Mobile. All you need to do is call nearest store and ask if they're experiencing network problems.
So ive got a spint s6, bought from dubai, unlocked and rooted apparently. After a couple of days, my phone woulndt start up cuz it was FRP locked. OK so i searched for the original firmware, i flashed it and my phone booted up again. i flashed also the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1. Here s the thing, on 5.1.1 i can make calls, receive them, receive text messages but i cant send texts at all, so my guess its that its not unlocked anymore. On 6.0 doesnt even have any signal so forget about it. I just want to resolve this issue. I cant find the setting that could help me to change the message center at all, i dont have that option in my phone, i even tried to change things with some adb commands but still nothing. So after all my guess its that the phone isnt unlocked anymore and if so, how do i unlock it? i just cant give the phone back cuz i dont live in dubai, im like a day or so distance with the plane so i just wont go back there again. If anyone could help me...please do so...im on 5.1.1 now, unrooted, i can root, i just cant send texts and i dont have the messages center
oh and also i tried the galaxy tool method from idoneapps which apparently wont work at all and im concerned about paying for that thing if it doesnt work so...yeah

Happy someone finally answered. Same problem? I really dont know what the hack its going on. If the god damn phone was unlocked, why wouldnt let you send texts after the odin flash? Maybe i didnt say but the phone was opened in the back and front cuz some elements are not fixed in places. Maybe they unlocked by hardware or smth..
