Has anyone else tried using Location Spoofer on their Nexus 10 under a profile other than the main one?
My wife uses the main profile and I have a secondary profile (since she uses talk on the nexus 10). I watch the NHL games and need to use location spoofer to watch blacked out games. It seems you can only spoof location in the main profile, and if you then switch to a secondary profile, the location is not spoofed there.
Anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks.

You need root with that, right? SuperSU doesn't have multi-user support yet - learned that in a similar way trying to set up my wife as main user.
But, the Superuser built in to the latest cm10.1 has mulit-user support... And I assume SuperSU will soon too.

Hi. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to manage parental controls with 4.2.1? I presume that I need to set up multiple users to manage access, but I'm really not sure where to start and the feature is so new that Google doesn't bring up any "how-to"s. What i want to accomplish is restricting access to the browser and managing access to apps and content through Google Play, all on unrooted Nexus 7s. Help?

My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
Well make the account and remove the Web browser and add a password onto their Google play account through the play store under settings

Hello There
I have read about people asking about how to install google books, magzines, movies. music or how to use those features which are restricted due to their country. Well, this is a guide by which you can change your country as default and then you can enjoy all the applications from a particular region you choose.
The best part is that
NO ROOT REQUIRED OR ANY OTHER KIND OF MODIFICATION.
INSTRUCTIONS :
1. Download TunnelBear version free from Google Play or any other VPN service which allows you to select a specific country.
2. Sign up and then log in to Tunnel Bear.
3. Once logged in, enable TunnelBear and then choose a region. Suppose you choose US.
4. Wait until your phone has been connected to TunnelBear VPN.
5.Go back to your home screen. Do not close it or use task managers that might kill it automatically.
6. Force stop Google Play in Application Manager from Settings.
7. Clear data and cache
8. Open Google Play Store. Accept the Terms & Conditions of Google Play Store.
9. Once you are connected to US Google Play, you may disconnect Tunnel Bear as I think it has a limit.
10. Enjoy reading magzines, books and other applications
11. To revert back, simply clear cache and data again after force closing Google Play.
12. Use WIFI and disable your 3g/4g connection. I am not sure if location causes any problem but if doesnot work for you, just go into airplane mode and use WIFI till you get US market.
This works without root but fast internet, latest google play firmware, root is recommended in order. (It should work without root but if it doesnot, make sure your internet speed is good and/or upgrage your Google Play. Also, if you are unable to connect to US market, try doing the 6-8 steps again.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY
I read this somewhere online and I can not remember it. I only wrote down the steps in my own words. Credit goes to the author and who found this trick!
I would not be responsible for any harm caused by this if you can not follow the instructions properly
I did see this concept in many different places do don't worry about the author cause there are tons, I tried it a while ago with a different VPN app but I will try the one u mentioned but my WiFi wasn't fast enough and the store wouldn't load

Well, first try to open just regular websites using proxy and see if that works. Then try opening the Google Play Store. Good Luck

Are you rooted ? If yes, open titanium backup (search market) and you will see the apps frozen. Just unfreeze them. Open proxy while opening the Movies. Once inside, turn off proxy. Tell me if that works for you!
Using a proxy should allow us Netflix no problem but I use XBMC so.haven't looked into it

Be specific what is not working and where do you get stuck?
Is anyone aware of a way to get past blackout restrictions on an android TV device? From what I've read you can get around it on a phone using several different methods of spoofing the GPS data/IP data, but I cannot find any information about how to do this with android TV or if it is even possible. Has anyone tried or had any luck with this? Would like to get it working with my nexus player and my shield TV.
A smart DNS service such as Unotelly should be able to do what you're looking for. They offer an 8-day free trial so you can test their service out without having to pay first. Once you've registered with them, enter the two closest DNS servers in to your router's control panel and the settings should take effect for all the devices on your home network. http://help.unotelly.com/support/so...watch-your-home-team-and-blue-jays-if-you-are
I've tried unlocator but it doesn't work because it doesn't alter the GPS data... I wonder if unotelly is any different...

None of the current Android TV boxes have GPS mechanisms inside of them so there's no need to worry about that. It's quick and easy to create a trial account with UnoTelly so try it out and see if it solves your problem with MLB.TV blackout restrictions.
Interestingly, this worked while unlocator did not! Thanks a lot!

I'm happy to hear that it worked for you. Can you check to see which version of the MLB.TV app is installed on your Android TV device? v1.3.4 of MLB.TV on my Nexus Player only shows a black screen when I try to load video streams and I'd like to know if anyone else here is experiencing this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/mlb-tv-v1-3-4-app-loading-video-t3189553
I'll have to look but I am currently using a shieldtv and not a nexus player (my nexus player is currently relegated to a shelf due to issues with a lot of apps)

I'm setting up my Nexus 6P and see this option that says I can transfer stuff from my old android to my new one but when I open Google App and go to settings I cannot find anything called "search for nearby device"...where is it? Also, is this feature in just Lollipop and higher?
I believe it is only available on Lollipop and Marshmallow, and might only be part of the initial setup of the phone. I don't know if you can invoke it manually.
It's at the bottom of Google app settings.
Edit: Correction - go to Settings>Google, and it's near the bottom.

Settings, Google, Set up nearby device
Well, if it is only in Lollipop and above that would explain why I can't find it on my Note 3 running Biggins final KitKat release then Oh well, I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and transferred that to my Nexus 6P and retrieved my stuff from there. Thanks all!
After the February patch updates I can no longer see my nexus player to cast to. I've tried switching from 5ghz to 2.4. Tried rebooting the nexus player as well
Anyone else experience this? Google cast is updated and running

Force stop, clear data and uninstall the update, reboot the NP and let it update Google Cast again. Also, if you have more than one NP give the players a unique name in the About section within Settings.
I did all of this and I'm still unable to cast to my Nexus Player. Doesn't make any sense...

It's so weird. It works fine on mine. They're both updated with the latest Android updates. I also have the Chromecast app installed on my phone, I don't know if it even makes a difference but I am just trying to think of things that I have done.
You have the casting app updated? From Reddit: The problem didn't have to do with either Marshmallow or the most recent APK update (though the timing was understandably suspicious), but we're pushing an updated APK that resolves the actual issue.
You should see version 1.16.45911 (Settings > Google Cast) once you've updated.
You could try to downgrade the app if it still doesn't work: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ast-receiver-1-12-28389-android-apk-download/

That's the Chromecast receiver version I have. I read on reddit and here and some people has the same issues but no fixes apparently. I'm not saying its MM, just that it's not working.
I might do a factory reset this weekend (thus losing root) to see if it gets fixed. Either that or just live without Casting...
I just had to reboot my router
