[Q] VPN / Proxy Connection for iPlayer, Amazon App Store - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know of a good proxy / VPN solution for masking IP addresses and allowing access to things like BBC iPlayer and Amazon App Store?
I have an Amazon account and buy books, CD's and DVD's, etc regularly but it won't let me download even the freebies from the app store. I know there is a workaround using fake credit card numbers, etc to create an account but I'm not real keen on that option.

I'm looking for the same thing, so far no luck. Maybe we'll have to wait for tunnelbear's android app...

Netflix on the Inspire? Is it possible?

Is there currently a hack or any work around to stream netflix to this [email protected]$$ phone? I saw an article on engadget a few days ago discussing something like this. Or will there be an app soon?
From MWC 2011 it was stated that an Official Netflix App will come soon with Qualcomm's new gen Snapdragon processors. I heard sometime around spring. Again this is for an "official" app, I'm not sure about any hacks
Plex for Android in the market
That app looks awesome. It says it only supports MAC right now though? Can you confirm this before I purchase. I'm on a pc

I'm reading the Description now and it says:
"Plex for android allows you to browse and play your video, photos, and music right on your Android device, streamed from Plex Media Server on your Mac or on your PC. With Plex Media Server for MAC you can stream additional content from Aperture, iPhoto, and iTunes"
So it sounds like both are supported, but using a MAC it will automatically locate media from sources outside of the Plex Media Server
Be advised that using Plex over 3G (or "4G"...ugh) requires some port configuring and static IPs on your home computer, so it's not a great alternative to a native app.
I got the app and its ok... but netflix is nowhere on here nor can I find a netflix plugin for windows!

PlayON was just released to android today with a PC server I believe. Search Engadget for it... that supports netflix.
That's like $40!

PlayOn works like a charm either on WiFi or 3g. It's a great alternative but a costly one. Netflix app should be free if it ever comes out for Android.

edit : wrong post
Several sources (all probably quoting each other) have said it will need hardware DRM that might be built into the next generation o processors. So the current batch of phones may be the last without the DRM. However no one knows for sure yet. I do know in the development and hacking area of XDA for Android, they are working on it.
+1 for Playon. It worked really well for me on my old Evo Shift (which had blazing dial-up type speeds), so I'm sure it'll work with the Inspire.
On applanet there's a working netflix. Ill post it

Grooveshark APK

Since Google pulled it and Grooveshatk's website still redirects to the Market, I was wondering if someone could upload the APK here. Thanks!
Here you go...
Why did they pull it?
Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800
Much thanks!
I'm new to grooveshark and didn't realize that the mobile app needs an anywhere account @ $90/yr. Since you have the apk, I'm assuming you might be a subscriber. If so, do you find it worth it?
I am a subscriber but, I didn't get the apk from my phone. I found it somewhere else.
As for the service itself, I was using Grooveshark a long time and since I was grandfathered in, I pay 3$/month. For that, it is totally worth it.

Nice.... it seems to be a lot better than pandora or slacker premium in that u can make your own playlists etc. I just jumped in for a year @ $20 for their support Japan promotion.

There was one apk that was modded so that you could get the functionality for free. This guy Here also makes a free alternative to the grooveshark app.

Yeah, it's definitely not in the market because apparently T-Mobile and other carriers have added it as a subscription that you have to pay for in T-Mobile TV. I found the free app by doing a google search for Crackle apk.
Hope that helped...

for me too !!!
Maybe I'm making something out of nothing here, but if Netflix is charging for this type of service, how can crackle come in and deliver movies and TV shows for free without the movie industry and network television making a stink and/or threaten with lawsuits?
I really don't know too much about Crackle, but what I do know is, if something seems too good to be true, it generally is.
Not sure about what kind of agreement they have to pull this off but there are sure lot of ads while playing vids... and I mean right in the middle of it. Where they stick ads make no sense.
Steam quality is nowhere near Netflix.
Still, they got stuff for steam that are not available on netflix steam.
Covers lot of bases having both on my phone.
I did try it on the Sensation and it works. Sadly it doesn't work on my G-Slate. And yeah, the ad placement is horrible.

Yeah first things first. Find a way to download is number 1 and we have done that
The help section states the following:
Will ESPN Goals work when I travel abroad?
If you are a subscriber and you are using the UK mobile phone connection that you used to subscribe to the ESPN Goals service, the application will be active when you travel abroad.

The app, watch espn has some games, but you need to be a subscriber of a company that supports it, like verizon. Also idk if this app is still on the market but justin tv player had a lot of games, ustream had a few. I have been using m.veetle.com lately tho. All of these have worked when i wanted to catch a game in class (;
Try them out, you need to have flash tho

Assuming you mean the UK promotion...
- Clear Samsung Store data
- Open a UK account.
- Download app.
- Clear data
- sign back into your normal account (if you have one).
- - Problem solved.
You assumed wrong. This is a Play Store app. Problem not solved. I appreciate the guide though. I can use that to get some new S-Pen apps.

LOL! That's alright man. I'm sure that in most cases, those are the apps an American would be looking for. But in my case, I just want the special "Note Edition" of the Wired news app. If you're somewhere across the pond, would you mind taking a look to see if it's available for you to download?

What if I used A vpn to connect my note to the Uk servers? I still have one I believe? I wonder if that would enable me to get it.
When I locate my vpn info and get home I will try this out.

I tried saying hello to the UK Google store by using TOR. Despite the fact I was routed through foreign IPs, it still gave me the US store >.>

I dont see hwo hard it was to connect to the UK store, i got the 2 free games they have offered, Though what you also have to do is create a UK account, so delete your Samsung US account, and reset the Samsung App Store, then Launch the Samsung App store and register a new account, but under the Uk, after all that is done ect.. and email has been setup, then you can do the first steps again, and just log back in with your US account, and things still works

Also looks like we should get these apps as well if we can get wired: http://www.techweez.com/2012/08/23/galaxy-note-10-1-users-to-get-exclusive-content-from-samsung/
Did anyone figure this out? Can't find the Wired app anywhere - am in Ireland and using a US Note 10.1
Ive just downloaded this here in the UK and its not bad at all. There's only 2 editions available and each one is around 3 to 400 mb.
With me being a Multimedia Designer it looks like the app was created using Adobe Indesign CS6 which makes it look well put together, good image quality and looks rather slick, very good start..
still looking for the APK?
