you need to run the connection setup wizard, or add the Nokia APN directly
not sure if the wizard is available to Nokia given its an HTC app but adding the APN is dead easy
what network you on?

If you go to your marketplace and under nokia collections, there is a nokia app called Network Setup. Install that so everytime you put in asim, it'll automatically download the APN settings for your carrier.

yeah they couldnt help cuz windows devices are not supported by them. Funny thing i noticed even though i cant access the internet every now and then i would get emails or notifications from facebook or whatsapp. wifi off, also the 4g icon is always there.

That's odd, those settings are from their own website for proper WP device, the HD7, sounds like something else is wrong here, consider changing radio rom or reflashing

Get an updated version on their website: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/

quick question.. every time i face a provider it works, but it reverts when the phone reboots.

...because the developers haven't written it in the software... it doesn't remember settings on reboot
i was hoping the dev's would further develop this app, but it has been at 3.0.8 for months now... so i think it has been deserted.
does the job though...

Quote from the site:
This Android application emulates the SIM card of the chosen operator and makes paid apps accessible in the Android Market. You need it if you want to buy apps and games from Market, but Market is not (yet) available in your country or for your operator.

Thank you for doing this! I have a stupid question, but I have to ask it, because I don't know how MarketAccess works.
Can you (or anybody) confirm that only the market is fooled? By this, I mean, I want to be sure that neither my telco nor the telco I'm spoofing will charge me for roaming and that any data I actually download while spoofing my location will still go through my normal APNs?
Thanks for your answer.
MarketAccess emulates SIM numeric of the chosen operator. My local provider APNs continue to work fine with no extra charges when I have T-Mobile emulated.
However, it may affect other applications which also depend on the SIM numeric. For example, the APN Settings dialog will start to show the APNs valid for the emulated provider (SIM numeric = MCC+MNC in the APN settings). To be on the safe side remove the APNs for the emulated provider or change the APN server to your local one, but with the MCC/MNC of the emulated provider.
In theory it may alert such application as WaveSecure and SIM Checker. But I have WaveSecure installed and it seems to live fine with the emulated SIM numeric. One user reported that SIM Checker also works fine.
If you feel paranoid, then just disable the GPRS/EDGE/3G using APNdroid or Toggle Data and buy/download the applications via WiFi. Once downloaded, restore your original SIM numeric and enable data transfer.
Thank you for your comprehensive answer!
SIM Checker dev here. I can confirm that there are no problems with MarketAccess, since the SIM numeric value is not used to determine if the SIM card has been changed.
ok i get what it does but what special apps do you need this to get?

You need MarketAccess to buy any application from Market in the countries where paid applications are not listed in the Market. Is that the answer you were looking for?
so being in the us there is really no need for it? or are there specific apps that can only be seen using this

Developers can choose where to distribute their applications. So we can guess that there are some apps limited to certain countries. I don't know of any specific examples.
thats more of what i was looking for was specifics

[Q] 3G internet-based sms client?

You know how tethering with PDANet allows you to use the sms client on your computer? Is there a similar app that connects via wifi/3g? When I'm at work I hate typing on that tiny-ass keyboard when I'm sitting at a full-size computer.
I use Google Voice when possible but I don't want my friends to need two phone numbers for me. I suppose I could just use GV as the primary...
Any ideas?
Look for smshare. I just found it three days ago, and it's awesome!

That looks pretty neat. No usb cable required?
No, no cables required.
The Data exchange is done over 2G or 3G Network.
But SMS isn't much data, so it won't hurt your Data limit.

Interesting... will check it out.
I have also tried bloove now, but i must say it is very limited if you use the free version.
No auto-Sync feature for the android app: You always have to start the app on your phone that the sms are sent. And also SMS are not stored if you have edited them on the webinteface.
The App has to be opened on your phone while you send the sms on the webinteface.
Smshare has all these features, but it's main problem is that the Addon is only available for Chrome right now, and until now it is not possible to send SMS directly from smshare's Webinterface. But according to smshares blog it will "soon" be possible to send SMS also through the webinterface. So i hope tis problem will be solved soon.

Yes, that is how things are working, we're going to add "always running" option in future versions.

thanks for that yukinok25.
i've just rang Vodaphone UK to get content block, unblocked. i get a sms update message, did everything they said and a few hours later im still blocked. must be something wierd on my desire & Oxygen ROM that it doesnt like.
installed Orbot and it's working as expected.
it wouldnt be so bad if the filtering worked ok (i really dont need access to adult material on phone), but so many false positives, network content block is just annoying.
No problem mate.
I used to have the same problem with 3UK, many contents were blocked and I started to use TOR.
Eventually, one day I found out I wasn't firewalled anymore??..??
Now everything works fine.

Thanks for the information
If you top up online on your phone you'll have to change it back beforehand. It's easier to create another profile with the original settings and just switch between the two when needed.

Old thread i know, but i'm new to the 3 network and just discovered that half my bookmarks are blocked! These aren't 'adult' sites either. Changing the APN name worked a treat! I'm so glad information like this is out there to find. God bless the Internet and XDA! :good:

Please note that it's not ideal to operate a mobile device with 3Internet APN. You will get a public IP rather than a private IP in the 10.x.x.x range you normally get which means there is no firewall between your device and the internet. Also if Three notice what you are doing they probably won't be pleased that you're using up a public IPv4 IP that's really meant for mobile broadband users.

Can anyone release this app on the Windows Phone Store?

Can anyone make an app (repackage?) out of this internal tool called GCFSettings from HTC (which is included in security unlocked devices) and possible release it in the Windows Phone Store? This tool can set the phone to 3G only / LTE only / 2G only mode if needed. I've attached the required files for the developers to take a look on.
I'm really annoyed when my phone switched from 3G to Edge even I have strong 3G signal.

The XAP doesn't seem to work. If you have more detailed description on what the app is, and why the install is failing, it might help.
Also, there is little chance MSFT will allow that app to pass validation.
---EDIT: FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. WILL UPDATE SOON.

Wifi Tether for Root Users with Nexus 5

Has anyone gotten this app to work on their rooted Nexus 5? I get errors and it doesn't work. If you got it to work, can you post step by step instructions with the settings you used? I'd rather use this than the built in tethering. Thanks.

i think he has the same issue as me, currently my phone is stock rooted, when doing wifi tether, the browser from the connected device takes you to the upsell page from T-Mobile. i have tried all the apps in the play store and still get the same message. anybody knows of an App that works well with stock ROM?

You have to modify a DB file on your device to get any tethering app to work.
Here are instructions from another thread in this QA forum:
yakman66 said:
I have the T-mobile $30 unlimited prepaid plan and I ran into the tethering block after getting my Nexus 5.
I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps.

you need an SQL editor, like SQL lite.
The stock tethering is working fine after I rooted however I am worried T-Mobile will find out I am tethering sooner or later. I would rather use this app to tether
I solved with this app: WiFi Tether Router
on Google Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
the developer has done a compatible update
I contacted the developer via email and he told me after a few hours
the developer advised me to select these settings
Interface wlan0
Method 0 - Auto
works also with
Interface wlan0
Method 2

I am interested to know if anyone has gotten the original app in this thread, the Wifi Tether for Root users working with the Nexus 5.
Unlike the other posters, I am interested in this app because it enables you to spoof the MAC address, which I am interested in for making a streetpass relay point for my 3DS, so the alternative app suggested is not a viable alternative for me.
Any ideas how I can get this working on my Nexus 5? It is rooted, stock ROM, and have installed Busybox.
I would try mailing the Dev of the paid app. The screenshots of the options and the description of the methods available look similar to those in the free branch, and if the code is similar it may be simple to add the feature.
