My3G for Android?

iPhone users have a program called my3g which tricks the phone into thinking you're on wifi when you're really on 3g so you can watch full episodes on tv.com, etc.
Does the droid have anything like this?

For some reason when I asked this question I got a very unsatisfactory reply. I don't think my fellow Android users like playing second fiddle to the iPhone hacker community. My3G was awesome for me when I had my iPhone. Now I have all sorts of problems with certain apps wanting me to be on wifi only with my EVO. It pisses me off and I have not found a work around yet. Let me know if you discovered anything please.

Was there such a program like My3G for Androidd?....

I've never had an app required wifi.... What apps? Maybe we can find a solution.

for example, there is in israel the Bezeq company.
thay got android app that you can use the same number as your lend line phone on the android device... but thay allow only to use it in wifi connection.
thats way i need to imitate wifi connection on 3G internet...
if you search for "bezeq" in the market you will finde the app.
thanks

Also, the market (and Amazon market) force you to use WiFi to download large apps. I have an unlimited plan, and would like to be able to download these on 3g.

I take it there has still been no solution found to this problem? I want to trick my phone to think it's on wifi in order for itv player to work.

I would really like to see my3g (or something like it) for Android. It was very useful on iOS and now that I use Android full time it is one thing I miss. I assume the reason something like this is not as popular on Android yet is in the past it has not been as necessary or useful as it is on a jailbroken iPhone.
Personally, I would pay good money for an Android app to provide this option.

I need some info before I root my Droid X

I'm pretty interested in rooting my Droid X for things like custom ROMs, themes, and lowering voltage use/underclocking for better battery life. The only thing that's stopping me from doing so was an article I read about how certain apps on rooted phones were displaying passwords as clear text. Now as much as I want to unlock the full potential for my phone, I don't want people being able to access my personal data. My question is can someone access my data on my rooted phone if I have Bluetooth/WiFi/GPS disabled? I don't use Bluetooth devices with my phone, I'm perfectly happy with 3G coverage for my phone's internet uses, and I don't really use the GPS feature.

When you "root" your phone all you're doing is gaining Admin privileges. That being said, even in "un-rooted" environments you can have Apps doing crazy stuff. My best recommendation is know what you're downloading, check reviews.

I am aware that rooting gives super user access and access the root directory, but does that mean that other people can access the root directory on my phone over 3G/Wifi/Bluetooth?

No, you specifically give each app root access when it requests it.
You can then choose to always allow, allow once, or deny.

I used this YouTube video as a guide and it worked perfectly. Read the comments if you have problems.

tht is the one i am using also but it freezes when it says restarting adb and suggestions?

Same problem. Try changing the USB mode to charge only, if you're still having trouble. I just rooted today and I'm trying to learn the terminology for all things root, bootstraps, rooms and the like.
Good luck, and enjoy rooting!

thanks i actually was able to get mine through by closing all programs running and it took about 10 mins to pass. Also does anyone know if it is okay to turn off usb debugging while rooted?

Do any of the tethering apps work yet?

I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I'm sure PDAnet works or you can just change the APN settings to use native hotspots without getting charged.

"native hotspots".... as in.... anywhere a 3G connection is available?

Like the built in tethering option and yeah pretty much anywhere you can get a data connection.

I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.

Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?

I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.

Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.

Galaxy Tab P-1010 WiFy only

If you are frustrated with Samsungs total lack of support for this new device let me share with you some solutions that will make you change your mind about how you feel about your new Galaxy Tab WiFy only.
First; Root it!!!
Download the z4Root App and do it with one click........painless and you are set free and on your way.
Second; Download One Click Lag Fix from the Market ,
this is a magical app for this Galaxy Tab , it unlocks its full potential. Thank you Ryan!!! Give him a raise please!
Just make sure BEFORE you run the app move ALL of your apps from the SD Card and place them back on your device, you can move them back to the SD Card after you run the app if you like. If you try and run this app with apps on the SD Card you will send your device into a boot loop so please make note of this.
Result; Snap and Speed Clocked 1900 on Quardrant, smooth scrolling and blazing speed browsing this has become a completely different device , I now love this Galaxy Tab and I am going to keep it!

Doesn't show in the market for me

one click lag fix app
if you search one click lag fix in the Market in comes up as RyanZA OCLF, this is the app you want for a very small price well worth it!
Could not find z4Root in the market but there should be a thread here in XDA or search it on your device and direct download the apk file

It's Wifi, not Wify.

you definitely do NOT need to pay for OCLF. it's widely available for free on the web.
also, i noticed no difference after OCLF (benchmarks don't mean **** for actual device usage), so I uninstalled it.

the app's needed

yeahhh i just got this device and the first night i noticed some lagg and even managed to lock it up twice
but about the above. if u need the apps u can find any paid app or missing apps from the market at 4shared.com. when u get find them you will have to wait 20 secs and then app should begain downloading (must allow 3rd party apps to be installed)
when looking for One Click Lag Fix search for OCLF
when looking for z4Root search for z4root
PS.... i would post links but cant till i hit the 8 message spam thing ill PM person who started the topic to see if he can include the files
AWSOME WORKS GUYS THANKS

oh RIGHT, that's also another reason I un-installed OCLF. losing haptic feedback was a dealbreaker for me.

Tried several versions of z4Root and none seem to work for me - How does one tell if the root was done (took the temporary approach with z4Root v1.3)
I am specifically trying to find the Skype data file to delete so can re-install it
If the rooting is working then I simply can't find the file so missing something

u should be able to go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications then find skype and unistall
but to answear ur question directly when u install z4root and open the app it will say root,
if its already rooted u should see re-root or undo root..

Thanks
After rooting look for Skype to uninstall but not there. The issue is that if installed then uninstalled Skype seems to leave, based on other board comments, that residual Data file and thus can't be reinstalled. My understanding is that once rooted one can then locate that hidden file and delete it so can reinstall Skype but this doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I can't find that file.
When Temp rooted and restart z4Root it does offer an Re-root option so (now using V1.3) it has been rooted.
Perhaps there is a difference in rooting between Temp & Permanent but wouldn't think so
Appreciate your help

You need to be rooted and use an explorer, run a search for Skype and delete everything it finds.

What apps are opening and typing? What are they saying?
In theory a factory reset should wipe it off your device, assuming its not some app thats been installed to the system partition. If you unlocked your bootloader,installed twrp (a recovery for the n7) then wiped everything and then installed a custom rom it would remove everything and re-install fresh and do the trick. Then you could flash back your stock rom and recovery ect and be back to normal

No one is controlling your n7 remotely. They would need an app for that on your n7....if there is even such a thing.
Its a screen problem. Definitely.

Once again, it is 100% a hardware issue, so you can dispense with the paranoia. The fact is that you do not have your tablet configured in such a way that one could install or run any type of remote access app without your knowledge and consent.

this is Linux not Windows. Anything trying to install anything (if you are rooted) would popup the the confirmation to grant root access. If 'it' survived a factory reset, it's not software.

KNOW Your Device ...
Its your wife or maybe mother... Check the su or super user app to see what apps have root privileged. Also keep a eye on what apps are running by going to Settings Applications Running applications. YOU Will see the app start to run . If you are really concerned take root access away from all system and user apps in the su or super user app. then anything that could run and do what you are thinking will Have to ask for root again.. Since i agree with the other post . NONE Of the above will pop up a suspect app .
I know this post is not needed all But atleast it tells him how to check for himself what is going on with his apps and running services....

I think it might be your screen protector cuz it looks really bad from the 2nd video.

This ^ might indeed be worth checking out prior to sending the unit back for replacement - take the protector off and see if the problem persists. (TBH though, I can't tell from the video if the protector is non-uniform or that is a reflected pattern from the ceiling in the room where the video was made.)
The OP would not be the first person to encounter an overly sensitive touchscreen (low level noise becomes "false touches") with or without a screen protector, but generally screen protectors will make the situation worse if the touchscreen is too sensitive to begin with.
The OP's post is an excellent example of a violation of the "Occam's Razor" principle - when presented with alternate explanations for a given phenomena that equally well describe the observed behavior, the simpler of the two explanations should be presumed. In this case, an overly-sensitive touch screen that generates rapid random touch events is a far simpler explanation than assuming that someone has hacked your device and is remote-controlling it (via a non-existent API) with seemingly random input... right in front of the OP's face.

You are correct in that it is not needed. He is not rooted , and therefore does not have superuser or, by extension any third party apps with root access. It is not an app issue

Your device has NOT been hacked. There is an issue with the digitizer, and you are getting false touches. You are still locked and unrooted, so you are, most likely, still within the warranty period. Please call customer to support to set up an RMA for troubleshooting/repair.
OR, you can wipe the whole tablet to see if the issue persist. I am almost certain the tablet will still behave that way after a reset, but you can try if you want.
