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.....

I have the same problem with NFL mobile on my att captivate. There has to be a way to figure this out.
+1 on this...
I'm on 4G with tmobile and it's actually faster than my home cable internet... ugh this restriction is soooo stupid!! It's one of the few things I miss about iOS
HQ YouTube works fine over 3G on Vibrant
This would also be very useful for playing Gameloft games like N.O.V.A which require Wifi.
+1 for further development on this

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

There is a hack Gtalk app that let you use it over 3g. It's posted here somewhere just do a search
When I had my jailbroken iphone there is two apps that do the same thing one is called My3g and the other is called 3g unrestricter and what they do is make your internet apps think they are on wifi which allowed some apps that would only work on wifi work on 3g service so my question is there anything out there like that for Android???
I can't believe nobody has any ideas or suggestions

Hey Jeremy. I don't know if your problem has been sloved for ya but I've got a questions for you. I do t know if you have a different phone now but how did you get Mobile Data to work on Straight Talk? I've just managed to GEF voice and text to work... If you can PM me, I'm trying to help my mom for Mother's Day ya know?
Don't know if this will help anyone else since OP was like 9 months ago, but it works on my phone via a Play Store app called JB WiFi Tether. You have to set the SSID/password via your system settings, and then tap the JBtether icon to turn on the hotspot. (if you turn it on via the system settings it won't work)
