Does anyone know of have or can make an APK that allows us people in 4G area's to use apps that REQUIRE a WIFI signal like Order & Chaos to play to make it think its on WIFI so it will see the 4G network and play the game. A sort of wifi emulator for the phone. I know i could have a friend share their network connection. No one here is on sprint with me at work so not going to hog their bandwidth.
Thanks in advance either way.

No i dont want a wifi tether program or at least the normal one. That i do have and that did not work. I need it to tell the phone its running that it has a wifi signal when it does not. and then pretend to be the wifi signal but pass info thru the 3g/4g
Bump.
I remeber my iPhone able to spoof a WiFi connection using its 3G connection. Surprised there's no way for Android to do this.

I don't know if it affects phones other than the Eris, but users can't play HQ videos from YouTube over the phone's 3G connection. Apparently, and I haven't confirmed this myself (but can and will), it will work over WiFi.
I know on jail-broken iPhones and iPods, there is an app available that tricks other apps into thinking it's connected via whatever connection you tell it. For example, I could tell the YouTube app that I always connect with WiFi. Then, it would play HQ videos.
Is such a think available for Android ? Would such a thing be difficult to implement ?
This would be neat, someone might have a trick.
This has already been a discussion and last time i checked there was no way of doing this. It sounds like a great idea and if there is an update i would love to hear it!
im going to bump this thread in hopes of getting this to work so i can start the NFL mobile app on 3G.
Right now i have to open the app on wifi and then make sure i dont exit it. It works fine on 3g after the switch, i just cant start it on 3g.
Has anyone came out with anything since then that will trick my phone into thinking its on wifi?
i'd rather be able to have my phone say it's on 3g, while it's on wifi. several sprint apps don't work over wifi, for some stupid reason
Well either way, the mfl mobile app only works if you start it on wifi for ATT, so if there was a way to get it working it would be awesome.
I know you can do this on the iphone for apps that only work on wifi. Theres gotta be a way to get it to work on android.....

Yes, I bought Splinterl cell and modern combat 2 but can't even download the remaining data as it requires Wifi...The 3g speed is good and constant.why gameloft makes such stupid decissions..let the users decide what network the want like in games such as assasin creed or hero of sparta..
I'm using Galaxy s2 if it matters and any such trick would be verry helpful.

Download this... and place it on the root of your SDcard. This will fix your "wifi-only" game data downloads. Works for gameloft games, might work for others.
To actually play the game online (this might work for the NFL app) download an app called "wireless tether for root users" now you need to follow these directions exactly!
1. Turn on wifi (don't connect, just turn it on)
2. Turn on the Wireless Tether app (this will shut off wifi)
3. Before! Before! Before! You get the message Stating "wireless tether for root users has been granted superuser permissions" you need to reenable wifi! If you do not do it exactly that way, wifi will say "error" but if you do it right, your good to go! You can now play that game without a wifi connection. I also play Nova 2.. So yes

I was playing with my friends evo lastnight and wantted to see if I could connect wifi to the ps3 and I was..so I downloaded a few tether apps on my MoPho to see if I would be able to tether to the system but it wouldnt show my phone so I played with the settings and still no luck..i looked around on a few sites and everyone is saying I cant be in ad hoc,is there anyone that has tried this and got it to work or is the phone just not built for tethering out side of ad hoc?

Wifi tether beta 6 . Change the network to infrastructure . Now, I'm not sure if it will work on the Photon, but it works on a ton of other devices. Not sure why it wouldn't.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I use tether beta 6 also. I set the device-profile to "samsung galaxy s" and the setup-method to "Netd (master)." I also have the routing fix enabled, but I dont know if that is necessary. It will give an error at startup, but everything works. You should then be able to connect your PS3. It works for mine.
This may be a dumb question but, why? Even if you could play games on Photon, PS3 is across the room? Again, maybe I'm missing something (easy to do!)

It lets them get on Sprint's Network with the PS3 so they can sign into the Playstation Network, and maybe play games if they connection is fast enough where they are. Does 4G work with this or are you stuck on Sprint's crappy 3G?

First i'll start by sayin i'm a COMPLETE NOOB, But managed to connect to ps3 and psps.I have root Inspire and using wifi tether 3.1 beta11. Inside the settings it had 8.8.8.8 primary dns 8.8.4.4 alternate....I simply put those same dns number in settings of ps3 and psps. Worked fine,although signal in my house is terrible(3 bars/edge) I too checked routing fix, but i think the dns thing is what really did the trick. Also, just to let you know I didnt change any other settings in ps3/psp. Hope it helps

What on earth?
On your Sprint Evo 3D, you're trying to use
- Clear WiMax 4G (not Sprint's)
- on the Boost Mobile network
- with a Comcast modem
- to play video games
This makes absolutely no sense -- slow down, son! What exactly are you trying to do here?
If you mean you just want to get your 4G hotspot working (regardless of provider), you obviously shouldn't use the built in Sprint hotspot (even the hacked one). You're going to have to screw around with Wifi Tether for Root (google it) or Barnacle, potentially in ad-hoc mode. Some tools (including the official hotspot tool) and some tethering modes pretty much tell the WiMax tower to assign a new IP to the broadcast, effectively giving your computer or laptop a distinct IP from the phone. This is why they don't work, and it's also how the company finds out. Clear probably sees this secondary IP request produced by the tethering app, notes that it isn't the IP configuration you set up with them (or paid for), and blocks your service.
Your solution? Get the phone working again, then use a different form of tethering or a different mode. Ad-hoc mode (Barnacle) and wired tether (PDANet) are practically guaranteed to work, unless Clear has a way of sniffing packets for routing protocols.

So what im running is HTC evo 3d on Boost Mobile and i added a Clear account its fast but when i tether it wont let me gives the error ? ive read your suggestions/instructions and im a bit lost so any more help you can provide is cool! PLEASE ADVISE! thanks
just use barnicle tether or wifi tether
they work fine with phones running on clear.
I know thats not a seamless integration but you can try custom roms as well....
I usually just use wifi tether it seems to be better for "boosted" phones
esp the ones i get on clear

well thanks for the help but i am running custom thats all ill run! im on Steal25 now and ive used the android tether before and it just seems not to like me ive always had better success with the hacked sprint hotspot! but i am desperate as if i cant get it fixed then its no purpose to have the clear account as i got comcast at home but when on the go i'm N THE NEED FOR SPEED! also as far as Barnacles it's always worked great but i guess i forgot about it Either Way i am glad for the responses and input to this problem
PS
can you tell me what you connected your phone to clear as ??? mine is labeled a intel handheld device ? and when i hit the page it says something about INTEL??? please advise
The Sprint WiFi tether does not work with 4G (clear). You'll need to use WiFi tether or the others. Wi-Fi tether works great and it's free. Check the boxes that say MSS clamping and routing fix (something like that).

short answer. wifi tethering doesn't come on the 2gb plan. only 5gb or higher. so yeah. you'll have to find a way around that I guess.

Check out my reply to another post in the General forum. Use one of the Tethering Widgets to get you past the subscription alert messages. It has successfully worked for many people on different carriers. I used "Fattin's" Wifi Tether widget.
Is that a custom ROM with tethering enabled? The limited or no connectivity, yellow triangle, comes when you have successfully connected to the network, but don't have internet access... then in your case your computer decides to go back to a remembered network...
Make sure Wifi is off before you enable tethering, and sometimes you will have to connect and reconnect and few times, even give it a minute before the yellow triangle disappears... This is all contingent on your rom having tethering enabled, and you're trying to use the stock android tethering...
To keep it from autoconnecting to the different network, you'll have to remove that from the preferred networks list temporarily...
Just unlocked and rooted. Running stock ROM. Using WiFi tether set to Rezound with Netd (Master) and Routing Fix enabled, speeds are maxing out at about .8Mbps. Tried renaming /data/data/com.htc.tetheringguard and /data/user/com.htc.tetheringguard with .bak.
Any ideas?

Got Titanium Backup Pro, however, cant find any tether guard app. to freeze. Sad that I get up to 18mbps down and 12mbps up on my EVO LTE running viper4g 3.1.6. On my Wi-Fi tether I tried all different settings, still my attached devices only get 0.56down and 0.7up.
Any info on how to sustain same or at least faster speeds on my attached devices would be appreciated.

I'm pretty positive it's an htc app for verizon. Here's a post on a thunderbolt that has it which explains it a bit.
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-apps/7004-tethering-guard-2-3-4-a.html
If you google "tethering guard htc" there's a lot of info out there about it. Though if you don't have it I'd imagine there is something else creating a bottleneck for your bandwidth.
I'm using the latest version of open garden wifi tether on my rooted incredible 4g and the device profile is set to htc rezound. Encryption is WPA2-PSK, though it's set to auto. Tethered tablet got around 3Mbps dl, and 4 Mbps up on a test I just did, though it can vary.
Hope this helps.

Ah, I thought you had a incredible 4g since this is under the incredible 4g troubleshooting section. Most likely tethering guard is something verizon makes htc put on their phones, so sprint may use another app, or another method. I believe one of the reasons an htc one phone isn't on verizon yet is because htc did not like the software verizon required them to put on their phones (don't hold me to that though).
Also I use "Open Garden Wifi Tether" (Labeled in the play store "WiFi Tethering" by open garden) not to be mistaken with "Open Garden" by open garden. The former requires root and does not require the app to be on both devices as it simply creates a mobile hotspot. I'd suggest giving it a try.
If your carrier blocks it in the play store here is a direct link for the apk that open garden provides in it's description on the play store:

Well I could not find Open Garden Wifi on the app store. Followed your link and was able to install the apk. App looks very much like the WiFi Tether I have just with a background wallpaper and less options in settings. Device profile does not list EVO LTE, used Samsung galaxy nexus (CDMA/LTE) which work fine with my wifi tether app, but I could not get Open Garden to broadcast at all, tried several setting, also noticed there are no settings for MSS clamping and Routing Fix to check on. Those I have to have checked in order for my WiFi Tether app to work.(So I went back to WiFi Tether 3.3 beta 2) and I have a hotspot again but still at 3g speeds. Really miffed cuz at my location I get up to 19MBPS down and 9.42 up. When I turn on my WiFi Tether my friends with IPhones or tablets get like 1.26down and about same up. I have to do some serious searching on this one. There is a newer version of WiFi Tether 3.3 beta3 but that app does not work at all. I rooted my EVO LTE mainly for the tethering function. I apologize if I posted in wrong forum btw (I get Forum Dementia) easy. and again thanks for your advices. I think I'll have to poke Team Venom about the Viperg 3.1.6 Rom I'm running. I also used Titanium Backup and looked for any kind of tethering guard but my search only produced the actual WIFi tether app. Nothing resembling tether guard. Again thanks for all your help.
