play app that requires location - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

Hi there!
I'm looking for MI PAD 4 but I'm concerned about wich version to buy. I don't need to use a SIM CARD, so I was thinking about the Wi-Fi version but this version doesn't have GPS. My question is: could I play app that requires "location" enabled? Could an app check it by IP adress or they need GPS?
Thanks in advance!

even their own Weather app can't locate using wifi location...

[Q] How can i buy app on market which is not available in my country ?

I am from Poland, my sim card has PL network and my internet ip address is from PL. and my credit card is PL.
But i need to buy app from US - on market they are available if i connect through some vpn or proxy i can see books in English.
i dont know why they are not available in poland but i need to buy some of them. how to do it ?
even if i run market access or market enabler and emulate t mobile us - android market app on phone can find it but is not available to display details to show buy options - just show message - sorry network error occured. this may be because of PL ip address.
so what are option for me ? thanks.
Try using a wifi network for connection with the market + market enabler in combo. If that doesn't help - probably there's no way to download it through the market in our country.
Btw, if you're looking for books, and they're available in the us, but not elsewhere, probably some stupid licensing case... It happens with books and music all the time.

Success in using 3g usb-dongle

Hey all, wasn't sure where to place this thread... hope its in the right place.
I plugged in an E1550 3g dongle in the usb slot on the dock. Ran the UMTS Manager app (root needed).
I'm in Portugal, and my 3g provider is Optimus Kanguru. So, for portuguese users, all you need to change is the profile to 'other', and the APN to 'kanguru-portatil'... keep DNS at 8.8.8.8... and just start it by clicking 'Verbindung herstellen!'
The E1550 dongle wasn't supported, but it still worked.
Others from different providers/countries should be able to use it too. Just search for what APN configuration you might need.
For me, entering websites happens pretty fast. I've seen in another thread where a user could surf but not download files/apps etc... I tested that, and yes, apparently the only thing you can do is surf the net, which i guess isn't bad at all.
Maybe there's a tweak to be able to download and use other apps...
Oh, almost forgot. I'm on stock .21 (rooted, but not unlocked)
Edit_1:
The app was updated, and now the interface can be in portuguese! Thanks Jörg Köhler (this app's creator)!
Edit_2:
You can use Mobile Counter App to measure the data traffic of your connection.
Other Info: Tested speed using OpenSignal app, and i got a ping of 319ms, max download of 2mbps, and 0 (zero) upload speed -.-
The things you can do/use with UMTS Manager's connection are:
- Youtube App (or other apps of the sort, like the dailymotion app)
- Surf Web
- Search Apps in Google Play (but not download/upgrade apps)
- Google Maps (but it cannot pinpoint your location)
- Google Earth
- Receive and send mail with the gmail app
(But you can only do it when the app opens... if you want to receive again, close the gmail app with the task manager, and open it again.)
(To send email, just write the mail you wanna send and click send. then you gotta close the gmail app with the task manager and open it again... it will then send the mail you wrote)
- You can download stuff from dropbox using the dropbox app!
That's about it for now... need more testing.
Would appreciate tremendously if anyone knew how to make it so we could download/upload freely as if we were using wifi.
probably only leaves port 80 open (html/web). Might be a way to forward all ports to 80?
My E261 is OK too.
I think all Huawei dongle can be supported, because all Huawei dongle have same AT command.
Thank you very much, sir!
I was trying to find out how to use a 3G dongle (Huawei E153) with my TF201 and your post solved the problem. I downloaded the UMTS Manager, made settings for my operator (Saunalahti Prepaid, Finland) and it works perfectly well
Thanks again, I found your information very valuable.
T-Mobile.mk (my provider) gave me an HUAWEI E173
spend a week looking for answer or "how to" for this
nothing there ...
(double eek) Just put mine Prime to re-charge
Jörg Köhler (the creator of UMTS Manager **root**) stated that it'll work ... so double eager to try this sw
Google Translate gave me
Code:
This is a UMTS stick on Asus Prime Transformer can be used.
As UMTS Stick have been tested, type:
HUAWEI E 160
[B]HUAWEI E 173[/B] [SIZE="2"](that's mine)[/SIZE]
HUAWEI E220
HUAWEI K3715
until I try it my guess is that it'll work
if it's working
Hell Yaeh for @eddymonti (OP) and Jörg
HUAWEI E 173 3G usb dongle from my T-Mobile.mk is not recognizable
any one with any thing .... much appreciated
I was referring to this method particularly http://techwalls.com/gadget/3g-usb-asus-transformer/
probably we gonna need some more experienced users
Not working on Orange Cameroun.
ohh they joy of being an aid worker !
Can't wait to go back to my LTE dongle in Canada !

Compatible with MiFi?
You guys mentioned that it is compatible across all Huawei Dongles. Would that also mean it is compatible with Huawei Pocket MiFis? (ex. Huawei E587). Thanks!

Isn't MiFis like the E587 a portable hotspot? I think that you just need wifi for those. This app is just for usb connected dongles.
Would this kill my att USA unlimited data? ... how are packets sent out....

Huawei E353 works
Just tried this and have got my Huawei E353 working but have the same as some previously stated problems.
Browsers seem to work fine and play store browsing but again cannot get some apps to connect.
My wifi is rubbish on the boat I work on, so the extra browsing speed while in mobile range is fantastic!

[Q] Apps from the US in Europe

I'm moving to France from the US. When I get there, I'll probably get a new Android phone (unless Win8 looks enticing enough).
My questions are...
- When I log onto this new Android phone with my same gmail address, and presumably be connected to France or Europe's Google Play, will I have access to ALL the apps I have now? Will some become unavailable to me? What about my purchased ones? If they're to be lost, any way to get those .apks now?
- What will happen to my purchased ebooks on the nook app and the Amazon Kindle app?
- Is there any way that I can access the US Google Play while in Europe? Is there such a thing as proxy servers for mobile phones?
Thank you!
No you will not loose any of your app
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Also you can use market enabler app to get access to any App region. Vpn networks can also be used for ex. Vpn reactor

Would btguard work? I already pay for them.
Also, just so you guys know, I've now moved here and via my Android account on my new European phone I lost a bunch of apps that were I guess only exposed to the US including the b&n nook app. But I got the .apk off my old phone.

Did you pay for torrent proxy or for VPN? If you payed for VPN then it should work.

Looking for a navigation app with no "Internet access" permission. Maps will probably

Looking for a navigation app with no "Internet access" permission. Maps will probably
be loaded manually...
Hi,
I've spent some time at the market with no results.
I'm looking for an old fashioned solution where you simply load in a map into your device (manually), the GPS reciever takes the required signals from the sky and shows your coordinates on the map.
That's it.
No internet connection, no fancy 'in store purchases', simply a man and his interactive map- just like my grandpappy used to do back in 1845.
If any one knows of such a miracle (preferably from a trustworthy source) I would be most obliged.
God, are there so little people who see the problem in pairing your constant whereabouts and the ability to send said whereabouts to some remote server over the internet?
You'd think that someone would develop a small little tool which only present you your numeric coordinates and if you want, will show them on a standardized map the user downloads (maybe from google maps)...
I'm not a developer but that seems to be quite simple. Corerct me if I'm wrong.
THX!

OSM is a free full working navigation/map app.
Thank you, I just checked all google apps with OSM in their name but htey all required "Internet access".
For downloading the maps

There is Locus Map Free (and Pro) which does require Internet access, but it also supports offline maps (where you can download the maps in a PC and copy it to the phone). Once you have the offline maps for the locations / city / country (can be a big file) it doesn't need internet access.

Like said above, try downloading a navigation app with offline maps features.
Does the app has internet permission? - Yes
Does it use internet when offline mode is on? - No
If you are still worried that the app uses internet you could always just download the offline map, put the app in offline mode and turn off internet acces on your device.
If you have a rooted phone you could also remove the permission from the app, this way you can leave your internet on without the app using it.
Hope i helped, i would try the app mentioned in the post above!

Thank you guys a lot for the suggestion. This Locus map seems nice but yeah, how can I be sure they're (or any thingie with offline maps) not tracking my location?
Whether it's Real Time (I use GPS while simultaneously doing other things on the internet), Delayed (records everything while offline and then sends the info when WIFI is back (I have a vague recollection that perhaps Google did this)), or Sneaky Combo (the app records everything for some period of time, but only sends info if remotely activated, so to thwart traffic inspection)...
Rooted phone- I wish that was an option, unfortunately a) I myself haven't been convinced yet that root managing apps are safer then the inherent android protection (first search result- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525552), b) the intended owner is not a sophisticated consumer...so... children,matches and a can of gasoline don't go well together.
Damn' I'm a little frustrated...

Looking for an app that monitors active network connections???

Hi:
I'm looking for an app that monitors active network connections. The app would give the IP, app that is making the connection and the number of bits received or transmitted.
In the Play Store there are some of then like "Connection Tracker" or "Network Connections", but they doesn't work in Android 10.

Thanks. I have tried Net Speed Indicator and it is very good.
It doesn't give the connection IP but at least it gives a dat summary fo uploaded/donwloaded bits per app.

Nice that PCAPdroid tool as it's free, ad free, and gsf free.
PCAPdroid is a privacy-friendly app which lets you track and analyze the connections made by the apps in your device. Moreover, it allows you to export a PCAP dump of the traffic, exttract metadata, and much more!

PCAPdroid has its own firewall, apparently, so I don't know if that will conflict with NetGuard or not as you can only use one VPN at a time (AFAIK) on Android.
Up until now I've been using NetSpot & Network Info II but this tool may be better (I'll have to download it and check it out).

Yeah, this is a limitation of Android, you can only run 1 VPNService at a time, so you cannot run it along with NetGuard. However, if you have a rooted device, in PCAPdroid you can enable the root capture to run along with other VPN

It seems with these you can get information about about the network connection and wifi signal. PCAPdroid is different as it shows you the individual connections made by the apps, e.g. if you open chrome, you will see the detail of the TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic
