Hi all, I've been playing Order & Chaos a bit and love the game but am disappointed that I have to play over a Wifi connection. I've tried the trick of turning on wifi but not connecting it and it doesn't work for me. I'm curious if anyone else with a Vibrant has been able to play over 3G. Also I'm wondering if anyone has thought about developing an app similar to the 3G unrestrictor that the Iphone has that allows them to play over 3G. I'm on MiUi ReVaMpEd 3.1
Bumpity Bump ;]
I play this as well and always been wondering the same thing

There are other devices out there that are able to trick the game into thinking that the phone is connected to wifi by turning wifi on and just letting it scan but not let it connect. I have tried this trick on a couple different ROMs and I'm starting to think that it's not the ROM but the phone itself. I just flashed CM7.1 so I will give that a try later today and report back.
An app to fake wifi would be really useful,

Ya, that would be awesome.
I tried with CM7.1 but still a no go. My buddy has an HTC Inspire 4G running CM7 and he can play straight from the network without having to even turn on his wifi. I'm thinking that it either has something to do with 4G connection or the Vibrant in specific. Maybe if there was a way to fool apps into thinking it was connecting at 4G or thinking that it was a different phone, the Inspire for instance.
There are a lot of games that are requiring wifi download only these days and a way to trick them, in addition to being able to play really cool games like Order & Chaos, would be really great.
Yeah its the 4G, you can also play gameloft games online using 4g, it seems like nobody cares about the few who don't have wifi.

Check your APN.
I had the same problem except I am using CM7. I was about to give up, then I checked my APN.
I noticed my phone had 2 APNs:
1. Simple <--this one was checked.
2. T-Mobile US
I decided to change the APN to T-Mobile, and the game worked over 3g. Finally!!
Good luck!

Are you experiencing any issues?
Yesterday around 3pm I used my phone as a modem for my laptop and it worked fine no issues. But later on at night around 9pm when I tried using the internet it would keep redirecting me to the T-Mobile Tethering Plan page stating I had to now pay for that service.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is there a way around this issue?
Btw I am rooted and using Bionix 1.3.1
Might be the Rom you are using! I am using Axura 2.3.1.3 Voodoo Rom and have no issues. Try using a different Rom! Had that same issue when using stock froyo Rom!

Just tested on trigger in houston, tx and am not being redirected so far Lol.
when did you sign your contact with t mobile?
Ive never had that happen and ive been tethering forever, granted i dont go overboard with it and use it sparingly. How much do you tether? if its alot that may be the cause.
No problem here either.
Thanks guys for your inputs.
I use every other day so yea its often I use it but not for long periods of times..
I'll post up a link to a pic of my laptop screen so you guys can see what it saids.
My freinds wife got that same message using easytether on her mytouch slide. It looks like our ride is over on tethering, it was just a matter of time.

Okay weird issue! Wanted to connect my xbox 360 using my 3vo using but it won't connect to the internet...everything else works but my xbox wat the hello man...it connects fine using 3g tho...anybody else?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It may be unrelated, but since the last xbox update I've had some issues with connecting my xbox to wifi. It'll be the only device(like you with 4g) that won't connect fine. The only solution I've found is to reset my router and restore my network settings on my xbox.
You might want to try rebooting your phone or force stop your tethering app.
Although technically possible, I think this may be a bit ambitious. Even if it did connect, I doubt the performance will be good enough for smooth online play.

I haven't tried it with the 3d but I used to play COD black ops online with my Evo 4G. I was quite satisfied with the performance over 4G. I never tried it over 3G so I can't comment on that.
Ive played cod with 3g and it was smooth. My 3g speeds are only .5mbs down too.

I've tried it using netflix which always showed HD quality and it plays really well playing crysis 2 online so I'm pretty satisfied with it...and it was weird, as I was testing the connection, it said cuoldnt connect to internet...but when I signed on it was working perfectly...WiFi tether showed everything working fine...but web test it always fails...I'm confused btw what's mms clamping?

Is there some sort of wi-fi emulator out there? Amazon app of the day won't let me download some of the apps, but 4G is twice as fast as my wi-fi connection at home.
Hello, and welcome to XDA
I would love to help answer your question, however your post is somewhat ambiguous.
If you could, please indicate in more detail what the particular problem is.
I am going to take a leap here and assume that your problem is that wireless tether sets up an ad-hoc network instead of a regular wifi network.
however if this is not the case, then please let me know. I will do the best I can to help you.
Hmm I was wondering the same thing. His problem isn't anything to do with teather. It's that Amazon will have free apps that say they require a WiFi connection on phone to download do to there size.
If your in an area where you can't connect to a WiFi network Amazon will not let you download. Even if your on 4g for some reason the server will only allow a WiFi connected phone to download which really sucks.
So he wants to be on his 4g connection but fool Amazon's server into thinking he is connected via WiFi

To the op.. this is what your post should have looked like
Is this using the Amazon market place? If so.. can u just visit the regular site and skip the app for those particular apps.

Yeah this is for the Amazon Market. Main problem is that Amazon only allows certain apps to be downloaded over wifi. It sucks and as of yet there is no workaround that I know of. I'm sure some form of proxying would work but that's just as much of a pain as doing any kind of workaround. Amazon just needs to remove this limitation as a whole. I mean really where's the benefit for them to have you use your wifi connection vs your mobile connection.
you trying to get monopoly?
haha me too...
Removed my "annoyed" message. lol .. ignore this.

I just grabbed that using 4g, but I've had that wifi issue before.
EDIT: I guess I didn't get it with 4g. It looked like it had downloaded and said update but then I saw it was hung up and it started after I switched to wifi.
Quite silly at this point, they could just give you the large data download warning that I believe the Market gives you.
If they hear from enough people I would bet they would change it. They started a packing feedback after I returned a hdd 3 times and bought somewhere else due to poor packing. I'm sure they had many complaints.

I found this just looking around:

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings

thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also

I only have that happen while I'm on wifi at night, normally starts around 4 PM. Youtube is unbearable at night, too. I have Verizon FiOS, could anyone tell me what causes that and any potential fixes?
I'm on Verizon fits too. I get speed test saying im over 20mbs and it's the same on 4g.

It's a known issue, no eta on fix but I returned a guys phone yesterday because of it.
