Android wifi tether for SGH T959v

I've been searching and reading and I can't seem to find which Android wifi tether works best for our phone.
I went to google and it doesn't say galaxy S 4g so I'm not sure which apk download is safe to use on our phone. I know our phone is different from the vibrant.
Does anyone know which version works best on our phone?
What are you using and how do you rate it?
Thank you for your time and input.

I use easy teather But its not in the market anymore. It doesnt allow u to change Nat type setting. it is a real drag cause I got the phone for to use on my xbox360 so I could play online. But also there are various other apps in the market. just search and u will find and dont forget to check what others have to say about the app you intend on downloading. Some suck some dont.

it actually works fantastic. its kinda hidden though so dont be embarrased. Do you know how to find it?

Sorry to shove this question in here but since this seems like the right topic. Is there an app that will allow access to NAT(network address translation) settings? As usual samaung nor t-mobile could be of any help. I was told rooting would get me the access I need to deal with such a matter. Was this b.s. or is there a way?

im not sure of this. ill look into it

I would apreciate it. I have had no luck at all even after rooting and looking in forums and market apps. seems that not many people have looked into. Figured folks would considering how strict the security is. But im a noob so......

How r u getting a moderate Nat when this device is set to a strict Nat type? I can sign in and play some people but as for party,s or game addons I can't access much. Please let me know how your experience is (on xbox live)and what u have done to beat the Nat setting.

Unfortunately your about where I'm at. I can play live on certain games but can't download any content. But it works great for when I watch Netflix, and that's what I use it for.

Yea i was real dissapointed when i found out bout the nat. This was the main reason i got the phone. Hopefully I can find something on this matter that will help people like you and me enjoy Xbox live to the fullest extent.

Found an app that looks promising its called barnacle its on the market. And it allows Nat manipulation or something to that effect. I'm messing around with it but no luck so far.

[Q] Webroot Mobile Security?

What do you guys think of this app?
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-mobile-security-android-phone.html
It's most obvious features are malware protection (does this even exist for androids?) and virus protection (again...is this an issue for androids?)
But what intrigues me the most is that if my phone is lost, I can do audible locating, gps locatins, remote lockdown, or worst-case, remote wipe from another phone.
I know there are other free apps that offer the above tasks...I was using wheresmydroid before, but then had to supplement it with other apps to get all of these same features.
Anyway, I know it's an expensive app, but I'm not too concerned about the $15/year. But does anyone have any experience with this app? Does it do all that it says it does? Is there a better alternative available?

I dont know about that app....i use Lookout and I get all that, back up and phone location and such, too...it also scans apps you download to see if there "safe"....i haven't had any problems with it so far...theres a free version and a premium version

Question regarding market

Hi guys, I wanna know whether something wrong with phone/market or everyone experiences the same thing. The issue is market shows maybe 1% of the total hits. For example if I search clock in the market then it says 21000 as result but when I start to scroll down it shows only 2_3 pages and stops there as if thats it, no more apps.
I did not experience this with the old market. I have gs2 and no root.
Anything I can do??
Thnx

Noone has the same issue? I really appreciate an answer.
Thnx
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I have the same problem and have not gotten an answer either. Say I search for "root" 50 apps will show up, but at the top out will say 2000. But I want to see them all. I don't get it.

I deleted all cache and data etc and same thing even deleted market and reinstalled så need some advise here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I did that too. the only way to get it back to normal is to install the old market. Your going to have to root to do that. Just revert back and freeze the updater
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I don't like the new market. So many developers are loosing money by not having their apps visable. Plus google isn't any help. Tried that too
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I have the same issue. Also, some of the pictures are not working.
If I check out a app the small preview pictures are fine but if I touch them to fit the screen I have problems viewing them. Usually the second one is only a black screen.

Disabling Market Recommendations

Hello all,
I keep getting a notification from the market about a recommended app called POPS.
I don't want it and can't for the life of me figure out how to disable market recommendations.
Any help?

Market doesn't recommend apps on your notification shade? Possible virus or dodgy app
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

You're getting adverts in your notification bar? Sounds like you have Airpush on your phone. It gives devs the ability to send adverts and recommendations to your phone. Use this app to scan for Airpush and remove it...

It is in the notification area but I don't want it at all since I can't even get rid of the notification without tapping it and following it to the market...

Remember to rate affected apps with a single star and mark it as defective / malware to make sure the devs understand your opinion on that kind of ads...

I tried it and it did find one App that was using the push ads (Kona's Crate), so I removed it. But the recommendation is back now, so I guess it wasn't that.
Any other suggestions?

Next step would be to install Lookout Mobile Security. I use it, and the free version can scan your phone for all dodgy apps, malware, spyware etc. and will scan new downloads to stop it happening again. It also has tracking and wiping features should you loose your phone. Unlike certain antivirus apps though, it does not hog resources too much or drain your battery.
I have gone for the premium version, which adds real-time virus protection when using the stock web browser. The free version should serve your needs for now though. Put it on and run a scan. See what turns up.
The only downside to this app (and it's only a small niggle) is that after a new download from the market, the phone may lag a bit for a few seconds whilst Lookout scans it. That's it.

If your feeling really adventurous you could install backtrack on your device, but I don't think much of it works properly if at all.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks! But I'm already using Fing
I don't feel like installing Backtrack on my device yet.
I want to know how far I can go without installing a new OS or anything on my device. Maybe in the future.
Thanks for the answers anyway peoples, if anyone has any more suggestions I'd love to hear them.
