I want to be able to use the verizon fios mobile remote while I'm not at home. To use it, you have to be on the same wifi network as the tv. I want to mess with the tv while I'm not at home. Would there be any way to make my phone think I'm in the wifi network at home while I'm actually on mobile data?

You could probably setup a VPN to connect your phone to the home network from anywhere you have internet access

Afaik if your router can run ddwrt you can setup openvpn on it. You would also need to install openvpn on your phone though which requires root

Yeah my phone is rooted, but how hard would it be to install openVPN on the router?

I have a tethering app i sideloaded and have been using for a while nicely. Out of curiosity though i look again through the market to see what tethering apps are out and about. now EVERY one of them says not compatible with my "att" nexus s.
Does anyone know if they are TRULY not compatible or is it more a disclaimer they are putting on the app since att doesnt allow tethering?
I am on stock rooted 2.3.4
At&t got google to block tethering app for they're networks phones.side load

If your rooted, market enabler and spoof a provider that does allow tethering.
Remove sim and connect via wifi. Then it will show up in market

Hi all
I hoping if there is an app or any. Method to limit ths speed of wifi on android?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I dont know about an android feature for it or an app, but if all else fails, you can limit on a good router, but thats for all wifi connections, not just yours.
Droidwall will allow you to tick apps that you dont want to use the internet. You could also use qos in the router if you dont want cut it off completely

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?

Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.

I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract

so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

Nevermind catching a tmobile redirect on my laptop. Working on getting around it

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.
