Is it possible to change the Proxy settings or us a web proxy to obtain a fake ip address?
the purpose would be to use an NHL app to watch games that I am otherwise blacked out on.
EDIT: Moto D2, rooted
If I take you right, you have problems with your Provider side proxy.
Well, thinking about that, you wont be able to switch THAT one, you might be able (didnt try it myself though) to additionally use one, which will give you a fake ip to web servers ( for example), but you still wont be able to use an app to watch TV if your provider prevents you from doing so, because you cant get rid of the blocking proxy.
Hope I hit the point

Why should I use a signature?!
Just looking for the apk if you have it

Hey i just downloaded the app off the mkt after reading ur post works good on my Evo.
Not a Comcast employee, but I have Comcast Tripleplay. It seems to work surprisingly well. I really like the ability to access my home phone, see who's called, listen to voicemails, save the caller as a contact, and etc.
looks like they merged the ATT my wireless and uverse app into 1.
however, you can't login to uverse if you're like me and was given an email with a period separating your first and last names of your email.

I think the two have been merged for a while now.
Can you enter your email address without a period and that will work.? I know with gmail its like that.

Not Tottaly Merged.
This update has been out Since February. And you cannot Manage your DVR Via this app on U-verse you have to use the U-Verse App. You can only Pay your U-Verse Bill Via this app. So they are not completely "merged"
It wasn't until January that they release the U-Verse app to be usable outside the ATT wireless network.. Im on Verizon and I called once a month to complain I could not manage my DVR Remotely from my phone with out using a hacked version of their software.
I got a Call from a manager in January telling me to go download it.. I did.. Its buggy but it works. here is the link for the U-Verse app that allows you access to your DVR https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobitv.client.tv
Good for checking bandwith usage as well.
It's actually a really nice app, for as little as I need to access my AT&T account.
Anyone here use NFL Gamepass this year? Last year you could use any GPS faking app to get the app to locate you, now they do not work. Any idea what it is checking for ? IP address?

Get VPN service from another country and then download 5 vpn from android market make sure your connected to wifi unless u have unlimited data package. Setup your vpn settings and bam your phone will be from another country.
I do not want to list what VPN I am using here incase NFL might add the ip to thier blocked lists.
So, I live in Mexico. There is a company called Movistar (Telefonica in EU) and I have one of their pre-paid plans (I use a Nexus 5).
The pre-paid plan is the equivalent of $15 US dollars every 30 days. You just go to any convenience store or a big retail store and you pay at the register.
Well, my pre-paid plan offers me:
500 minutes to any company, USA and Canada numbers included.
100 SMS to any any company.
Unlimited minutes and SMS to any other Movistar phone.
Unlimited access to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
250MB of data.
And for some strange reason, I can stream Spotify too, unlimited, even if I use the 250MB.
Well, after I use the 250MB (in like a day), everytime I want to access, for example, a website, I get redirected to a Movistar page that says that I consumed the 250MB. OK, that's fine. Perfectly normal.
Obviously I can still use Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Gmail, both apps and website versions.
But, most of the Google services still work. Keep, Drive, Docs, Maps, most of the syncing too (no YouTube).
But I also have HotSpot Shield installed ($25 US dollars per year) and if I'm connected to the VPN, I get absolutely unlimited Internet.
How? Why does that happens? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious.
Sounds like they're analysing the packet headers looking for a user agent string of the browser

Either they analyze the packets as said above, or they lock your data down via IP, which is unlikely since it would need to be static.

I'm thinking its the former. Some UK carriers use this method to detect tethering. You could tether an iPad but then browser would bring up a carrier page stating that tethering couldn't be used but fat client apps that don't use user agents (Facebook etc) worked fine. It kind of makes sense given the symptoms, although its a strange beat to do it in this instance.

Haha either scenario would be strange.
Thank you guys for your responses.
So, why do I unlock unlimited data when I activate HotSpot Shield VPN? For example, the other day I did a test and I downloaded over 10GB of data (using a torrent client). And it's all prepaid. No hidden fees and stuff.
Also... something weird happens when I finish my 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I still get WhatsApp, Gmail and other notifications, but not Facebook).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook.,, as soon as I connect to a WiFi or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.

To elaborate on my scenario. A browser has a user agent string. For example, this may say you ate using Firefox on a desktop computer. Some mobile carriers have a database of all "desktop" user agents and if this is what they detect through packet analysis, will block it. They will also do the same for things that say safari tablet. ...or maybe even they detect you have nexus 5 and only allow that user agent string.
So flipping that in reverse, maybe your carrier only looks for android mobile, or whatever your user agent string is. Check here using a browser...
http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/
For chrome I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; Build/KTU84Q) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.71 Safari/537.36
Yet for dolphin in desktop mode I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/537.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/537.16
See in the last how it doesn't say android? This user agent string is used by *most* sites to detect you're mobile and therefore give you mobile websites instead. Changing bathe string can give you desktop mode instead. That's what dolphins "desktop" mode does. Note, some sites use a new method I don't understand yet.
Browsers always have a user agent, whether you're osx, iOS, linux , windows, android etc. Most non_browser apps do not have one. That's why torrent clients, Facebook, Tapatalk maybe can work on tether and not browsers. If you receive back message only in a browser yet other apps work, it stands to reason that this is how it could be done. You can test it. Install dolphin and set to desktop mode. Still get the message?
For the VPN question, I'll keep it simple. Whenever you communicate over a network, you are transmitting packets of data. This data has information attached, such as then user agent string. These packets are seem by the network you are travelling through. If you load Google, in simple terms, you send a packet asking to load Google, to Google. Google responds with a packet that will be the web page. The network sees this because it routes the traffic.
With a VPN (virtually private network) you are creating a tunnel between your end point device (n5 in this case) and a server. This tunnel, burrows through your network to then server. Then tunnel is impenetrable. The network cannot see then packets. They're encrypted. It cannot see any user agent string or anything else. It doesnt need to either as your network does not route the traffic inside the tunnel. When you VPN tons server then load Google, the server uses its internet connection to load the page. The server sends a packet to google using its network. You are connected into the same network as the server so your carrier sees nothing.
To try and clarify my VPN rambling... Imagine a laptop for a company you work. You plug a network cable in on site and you connect to their network. You can see intranet and network drives. Pull out cable, gone. Go home, still gone. VPN is a way of creating back network connection into work as if you were on site. With a cable. It creates a secure, encrypted connection between you and your company.
I hope this helps.

Unproven theory in your case
Sorry about all the typos above. I can't remember having typed that much on my n5 keyboard ever before.

Do you have a theory for this?
Something weird happens when I finish my regular 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I think I don't get WhatsApp and Gmail notifications too, but I can't remember).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook during work... as soon as I connect to my WiFi at home or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.
Orange just means no connection to Google servers. Some apps that are not browsers are detectable in a similar way to user agent string. It all fits in with the theory. You'll have to test it yourself.
Facebook, who can theorise anything with that?
