[Q]How to make the device to consider 3G as Wifi - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Some networks in the UK are offering "eat data" plan in otherwords there is no "fair usage policy". I have taken up this plan. To upload videos to YouTube it only works on wifi. Is there a way to make the device to recognise 3G as wifi so that the uploads can be done even on 3g data.
Thanks in advance.

as far as I'm aware, you can't trick your phone into believing 3G is WiFi unless you put your SIM into another android phone and then used the wireless tethering function to upload the video off the first phone...if that makes sense

Hi thanks for the suggestion. It should work if the other phone can tether. When I was using iPhone I used an application "3G Unrestrictor" which trick the phone to treat 3G as wifi. If someone can make a tiny app for SGS II (for android in general) it will help our community....

+1 to that, it'd be a great little app, there might already be one I've just never heard of it. If not tethering with your SIM in a second device/Mi-Fi router is the only way I'm afraid...

[Q] how can i get skype to work?

i have tried many different builds and can't login
where can i find the latest and most updated hacked version?
or is there anything else i am missing that i need to know?
i'm using blazn 2.2.2 by tiad8
i had the same problem. What worked for me was that I backed up skype + data in my galaxy tab using titanium backup and restored the backup in my tp2 android build. I could login then.
thanks for the tip! i will try with my G2 backup then..
update: i need to root my G2 for titanium which i wont cuz i dont really need it
could you share those files so i can try?
Well my backup contains my skype account details so that's of no use to you.
that's what i was afraid of.. NOOOOOO...
any other solution? i really need to use skype on my mobile

Buy a native Android phone?
We can't expect every single 3rd party app to run on our devices...
I'd like to know why a backup of the app works while installing it fresh doesn't... if there is a workaround, that's always better than simply "not working".
Perhaps someone has a skype apk? I've never used skype, sorry.

i already have an Native Android device, but i have a cap of 200mb, so i dont
have that freedom, using blazn xxx on a grandfathered tmo tp2 is limitless and i can
get the most out of it, that's why i'm intrigued with this skype problem..

So make the effort to figure it out, or don't and don't use skype... I don't really care either way, as I have never used skype and probably never will .

There's a bug with WEP, no RHOD can connect to WEP without some fixing.
If you have a choice, GET RID OF WEP IMMEDIATELY!
It's extremely insecure, and should be avoided at all costs!
However, there is fixes. Read the FAQ.
there isnt much i can do, i'm using my neighbors wi-fi.. cracked the wep using backtrack 3 final, he has a stupid password for the router to change any settings..

Wow that's... illegal.
This is the reason you shouldn't use WEP, so your assclown neighbors can't steal it...

just flashed to UA v1.2.. but still the same.. enabled the setting as well.. sigh... anything that u have done to ur ace?
It also depends on the availability of wireless networks in your area. Try enabling your wifi as well. Google has a database of WiFi AP MAC addresses and the corresponding location. Kinda awesome, kinda freaky. Here in South Africa the list isn't too spot on, but it will atleast get you into the correct suburb (must say, I have only tested this in a very small town). Worth a try

I can't think of anything else. I have very good 3G coverage and 500MB data plan. Maybe there is a problem with your network coverage, but that's strange because what ever the coverage quality is phone just needs a couple of KBs for a fix.
Maybe this will help!
You can look at this thread...
Please press thanks if it was helpfull!
i hate gps on android ,it takes long time and it needs network data .I used gps on nokia and its a piece of cake .

First of all, Android is an operating system and Nokia is a brand. Second, On Android you can set the phone not to use network data for GPS which will greatly increase the time needed for GPS fix. Nokia works exactly the same way, if A-GPS is turned on you get a quick fix, if it's off you don't. My Ace works perfectly and gets a quick fix. Oh, and I almost forgot, Nokia is crap. .I.
first of all.. .thx for the reply so much...
fyi, i didnt turn on network data for gps, i am only using gps alone to get my position, although it do get locked after few minutes... but the tftt is too long..
my frd using nokia 5800, he was able to get lock within 10secs w/o network..
thats the reason i am wondering how can i get faster lock..
may i ask how can i turn on the A-gps? i update it quite frequently using gps status..
is that means i have ady turn it on?
thx!

That's it. You install it to your device from the market (using your PC) and it uses GPS or cell towers to locate your phone. And I believe it refreshes every ten or so minutes.

I believe Androidlost can be remotely installed also but is buggy with certain phones. It can locate the phone like Plan B but has tons of other features.

Do you trust AndroidLost? The whole thing seems a little fishy, and at least one user reported hearing camera shutter sounds (the kind that are made when you take a screenshot or front facing camera photo, a function available in AndroidLost) - this was shortly before the dev removed the sound making function when taking remote FFing stills.

Not at all and neither do I trust Viber and it's shady dev or lot's of other apps on the market. I don't keep Androidlost installed all the time but after playing around with it, I can see where it could be very useful tool for after the fact locating a lost or stolen phone.

someone suggest a good app for this

basically my mother has developed a extremely terrible seizure disorder and needs eyes and ears on her even when she is just setting in the living room watching television. My father is there to be those eyes and ears but since that consumes most of his time he no longer gets to go to his upstairs workroom and build his radio controlled quadcopters which seems to be the only hobby he still has or enjoys so to speak. I'm looking to get some suggestions on a good app to view the camera of one android phone from another android phone so that either while he is up in the room he has the ability to see and hear her aeither at the touch of a button or widget. I'm searching for something somewhat parent friendly to set up (not to complicated) as all I can do is call and give him the name of it. if anyone has any suggestions on something that might fit the description of this situation please leave a reply with your opinion. thanks for anyone's time, Robert

I very much appreciate your reply as I feel this all I can do to help my parents out in there current situation. I am really hoping that the app works without a wifi network because they also do not have Internet from there ISP, they only have basic cable. I very much thank you for your reply and I'll definitely call my dad and tell him to try that app out. Thank you once again.
I told my father about the app and he attempted to set it up but said it wouldn't work without the licence, atleast on one of his phones. does anyone know of a similar app that might be easy to set up and doesn't require wifi home network? it can be paid or free, he just can't do in app purchases on his setup, but he can buy them outright if they happen to be paid and not free. thanks

Ik it's not the right place but I can't seem to find anything on this so if anyone knows how to get unlimited Wi-Fi tethering with the LGV 10 on T-Mobile's network after root is obtained of course let me know I'm not the only one looking for this I'm sure
This goes under Q & A not in a development section. Please familiarize yourself with the forum rules and also try searching as I am pretty sure this has been asked already.
