[Q] Using Google TV remote app while WiFi tethering - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've searched this for quite a while and just never for around to asking.
I use my phone as my main source of internet. I'm on the latest CM10.1 nightly and using the built in "portable WiFi hotspot".
Is there a way I can use apps such as Google TV remote while my Google TV is connected to my phone's hotspot?
Any ideas or direction?

This is really frustrating - even my K700 used to do it effortlessly, so did my K750!
Now who will let SE know that everyone doesn't have a WiFi network at home?
I tried using some obsolete BT Remote apps i got on the web...but didn't work. even these apps are no longer on the market....
I found what I need, I downloaded Gmote server from http://www.gmote.org/, and get Gmote from market, it works great
But it only uses WiFi, not bluetooth.

[Q] S3 - problem with VPN, pin/pattern lock and Netflix

Ok, so I gotm my S3.
With help of internet it got updated to Android 4.1.1 and rooted.
I got Market Enabler and Netflix app of Google Play (BTW: I have tried prev ver of the app as well - Netflix 1.8.)
1. I setup VPN connections (US & UK servers), both PPTP and L2TP protocols (just to be sure).
Internet (on Chrome and stock browser) is working great. VPN servers are fast so no difference here. Websites like home of the provider and trace my ip do show my location in accordance with VPN.
But when I try to log in to my Netflix account or start BBC iPlayer all I get is information (from Netflix) - that it is trying to connect. Like no data at all is being exchanged between app and internet
Any ideas?
2. When I started to setup VPN I was forced to put pin/pattern lock on S3. Any easy (for total newbie) way to turn it of?
Which vpn you are using and try changing the server.
If there is app for your vpn then most probably you dont need to use pattern lock. Try using VPNroot app but sometimes it diesnt work or find some app from app store.

I am using HideIPVPN (as in my signature).
They don't have an app for Android - I had to setup connections manualy.
I did try different servers - same thing. Browser work, Netflix and BBC (on the same VPN servers) do work on my PC and iPad - S3 - nope
I am using expressvpn and it works like a charm. Clear data from both the apps and try

VPN root - is it service or just software for different VPN providers?

Cool, thank you.
I'm using HideMyAss.com vpn (no app, so manual configuration). It seems to work fine as I can see some difference in contents when comparing netflix in denmark (no vpn) and netflix US (through hidemyass).

Hi,
i downloaded vpnroot, configured it with my VPN provider (I am using HideIPVPN for last 3 years - awesome service btw!) nad it all started woorking.
Hulu (Plus) Netflix, BBC - all smooth like butter (unlike TouchWiz or Android 4.1.1 on my S3 )

Printing VIA Note

I've heard of this, even went into office Max to see about figuring it out. Has anyone got any experience with this?

I have printer share from the play store, and it works with a lot if printers. Also, I use an Epson app for my wp-4530 at the office.

You can set up Google cloud printing. Its in Google chrome. You just set up the printer you have (in chrome settings) and it works pretty well. Think you just need Google chrome browser on your phone and pc (that has connection to the printer) and Google's Cloud Print app on your phone.
The Cloud Print app actually gives instructions how to set it up.

I have a laserjet and a Togo usb cable, and use printer share.
Thanks for all the answers..
Apparently ics has a built in wifi printing system that establishes a link with any wifi enabled printer. Works pretty well actually.

S5830i proxydroid not working

Hi I have a rooted s5830i and I wanted to run wifi on it using connectify on my laptop which is connected to the lan of my college.
I use a proxy to run internet on the stock browser and opera mobile and I wanted to run google play via wifi too. But I do not seem to be able to run it or any other application through proxydroid. One of the basic reasons for me to root my phone was to run wifi on google play using proxy. Please help.....
