Any apps like i believe its called my3g for iphone that will enable wifi-only downloads over the network? Searched and found similar post but the only response was " yea..the wifi button"..
Try the DroidWall on market.
thanks..i will rt now
EDIT: Ok droidwall isnt what i was looking for but thanks! I want to trick the device into downloading content that requires wifi to initiate..like extra content for games...over HSPA/HSUPA. Was able to do that on iPhone.

I've got my Gtablet working on a school system wireless network that uses Websense for filtering. I can get the web browser to work with Websense by putting in my Windows credentials so I can browse. However, some apps, like App Store don't work and I assume they are being blocked by Websense since other applications like the Weather Channel do work. Does anyone know of a work-around?
By the way, thanks to all who have posted in this forum, especially the developers. I am a total n00b but I've learnd tons already. This morning I repaced the system tools so I could configure the wireless to use 802.1x EAP and then set them back again.

Hi all
So I read it's not possible to have a widget that switches with one klick between 3g on and off (GSM only). In the market, there are only shortcuts to be found that lead me directly to that setting. I still have to leave my homescreen and do like 3 more klicks or so to chose and it takes time.
Is there a way to have a one-klick-switch when I'm rooted? If not, is it doable via custom roms? If so, which (good) ones do have it?
It doesn't seem to bother most people here, but on my iphone I had this and it extended my battery life A LOT as I keep 3g switched off for just cheking emails or messaging in whats app.
I use an app called "APNDroid". It changes your APN settings with a simple press.
There should be a Widget named "Power Control" installed that you can use (at least it exists with CM7 on my Optimus One P500)... while adding it you will be asked to chose the functions it's supposed to manage: just turn anything but 2G/3G and voilà: Your own little 2G/3G widget. (and no, it doesn't just take you to the options panel).
Great, that's what I was looking for! Now please tell me there is a free way to do this because of both Apps/Widgets mentioned I can only find paid versions!
I'm new to Android but this is something I'm beginning to hate For many many features that you could enable on a jailbreaked iphone for free you have to pay on android. Because of Cydia was kind of "illegal" ad only some users had it, stuff was mostly free. Here they throw everything in the market and demand money for it.
"Power Control" is free... well, at least it came with CM. If you can't find i I can just upload the APK.

That would be nice, I can only see "Power control Plus Widget" which is paid.
Danke!
Bitteschön.
Thanks. Any advice on where to put this on my card? I'm new to android so I don't know where those things go exactly
Just visit this page with your Android Browser and tap the attachment.

When I click it in the standard android browser, it says "The content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file". I downloaded it anyway and when i want to open the file it says "Cannot open file"
EDIT: Ok with the XDA app it recognised the apk file and I can open it. BUT, on top it says "News & Weather" and says this is an system application and if I want to replace it. Did you upload the wrong apk?
Whoops, possible... I've had a little trouble figuring out which apk provides the widget. I'll look into it.
and, found it?
Hi mates..
Can anyone please tell how t configure Hotspot Shield? My problem is that Market is blocked in my country and the only way to access it is by changing my IP..
I tried adding VPN in the settings/wireless and networks menu but it doesn't work..
I also tried VPN Connections 0.99 app but it FCs when I try to connect..
I think it requires a custom kernel but I hope somone knows how to use it in stock ROM/kernel..
Any help is highly appreciated..
Thanks..

Hi pal,
Sorry but I know nothing about Hotspot Shield neither would I trust anyone to secure my data on my behalf when I can do it myself, especially if american!
Maybe this could help you, not only Androidwise: you could use it for all your web activities (BTW what's your country?)
You can use "SSH Tunnel Beta" from the market.
As you cannot access it I am posting the apk.
Or you could search SSHTunnel(BETA) v1.6.0beta.apk on google and you might find it.
Works like a charm, I use it to encrypt and to change my IP, whatismyip.org correctly reports the IP of the ssh server.
You need an ssh server to act as a proxy obviously.
(alternative is an proxy but firemole is not available on android)
All you need is a linux box in a datacenter.
Provider gives you root and password that you should change to something super secure, adduser name, disable root logins (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) and a few more things to be secure or if you like to risk.. just use the provided rootassword on your ssh tunnel app
I hire from www.leaseweb.com which is in NL or DE, you can get a VPS linux from many providers and they cost under 10 euro / month or get superb dedicated servers like I do if you have a use for them . Bandwidth is great but depends from the network in you country and also on the backbones used but you hardly care about this others are www.lowendbox.com and www.vps4you.it that offer 30 day trial
Hope this helps and doesn't just confuse you... But if you live in a country where things are banned I guess this would upgrade your web freedom
Now lets get back to work

PS you could also use it on your wireless router (get a www.dd-wrt.com / opnwrt / pfsense capable router) and you're done house/firm-wide
Thanks alot for the info mate
I'll see what I can do and report back..
Really appreciate your help
PS. btw am from Sudan..
Ive looked all over the internet to no avail. I am trying to access the hotspot admin settings. T-Mobile has provided information to their customers on how to access these settings for T-Mobile phones, but I have yet to find any information regarding this for any other carriers. Does anybody know how to access admin settings for the wifi hotspot feature? Is there a generic web address to punch in to get access? is there a carrier specific web address?
I have a Galaxy SII GT-I9100M on Sasktel network.
**Edit**
OK. So I just found an app on Google Play that lets you access extra info and I think it allows to access advanced settings, but its only for the SCH-LC11. You can find it looking thru Google Play for "Hotspot Admin SCH-LC11" Thats the actual full name for the app so im just assuming that it only works for that particular model. I may be wrong and it might not provide access to settings but its something like this that im looking for. The best I can describe it is the same as the admin page for a router. Its this that I am looking for. T-Moblie tells their customers to go to web page ****** but when i try that it doesnt come up with a page. any help would be appreciated!
Here's the webpage I seen for T-Mobile:
********
Ok so XDA forum wont let me post outside links just yet but if you want to know the info just ask for it and i will find a way to get it to you.
Not sure which ROM you are running but on mine (Cynogenmod 10.1 based on android 4.2.1) go to settings. Then in the first section (Wireless & network) go to "Tethering & portable hotspot".

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to block internet access for individual apps on my Home & Work wifi networks only, but not on other wifi networks and 3G...
I'm on 4.4.2 KK and usuing AppOps + Android fiewall, but non of these apps do what I need... Android fiewall for example allows blocking app from Wifi and no matter where...
if you know some app that allows this kind of thing, please let me know,
THANKS
I think you might have to use a combo. Something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free
+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin
I believe there are some newer Tasker type apps that are free, but dunno about something like the Secure Settings plug-in. Now, I've never set anything up like this, so am only providing this as one possible method that I have not tested.
Ok thanks, I'll check Tasker, my friends recommended about this one long time ago...
about the way DroidWall is fine, but I'm using Android firewall which is based on DroidWall but is better...
