Wifi Faker?

Im looking for a WiFi faker. Anybody know of one?
Im on HSDPA so connection speed isn't an issue, however when I try to access certain sites such as iPlayer it says I need a WiFi connection.
Is there any program which will tell my phone I am on a WiFi connection, even though im not so I can watch iPlayer?

that would be great allso for games that require additional downloads to sdcard and only allow downloading through wifi D

Exactly what I'm trying to do ! (Amazon App Store policy for downloads bigger than 20 mb you need Wifi).
Any chance someone heard about such a thing ?

Openvpn for Ice Cream Sandwhich (no root/jailbreak)

Hi,
a pre alpha version that already works.
Restrictions:
- only tun mode (API restriction)
- may only work once (still pre alpha, remember)
Although the application is far from finished connecting to a VPN already works. I
Update:
Updated version now on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn
Source Code: code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/

Thank you for this application. Is it open source ? Do we have to install openvpn first ? Do we have to get tun working first ?
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Yes, it is open source. When the code is a little bit more polished I will publish the code. The VPNService is part of Android 4.0+, so nothing is required regarding tun. (On custom build ICS images thing might differ, but that is bug in the image)

Perfect. Thank you. I will try it and give you feed back.
Thank you.

Excellent! I had almost given up hope on being able to (successfully) use OpenVPN on my Android device when I learned that ICS would make it easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I have also created an OpenVpn application, mainly ported for Cyanogenmod 7, which retain almost all CM7 OpenVpn features. Sure, it is open source, check it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591585

Too bad that the effort was made twice now :/ I did not know of your porting attempts. There was a discussion on the openvpn-devel mailing list a month before and nobody knew of any porting attempts.

I tried it and it is working great. Thank you very much.

Tested against a Linksys E4200 with DD-WRT and works perfectly.
I need to reconfigure my server from SHA256 to SHA1 hash algorithm. It would be great if this can be configured in advanced options.
Thanks and keep the great work !!!

Sorry, that I respond so late. Thanks for the suggestion of hash algorithm. I will look into implementing a hash algorithm preference.

With latest version, using "--auth sha256" in advanced options, works perfectly.
Thanks.

I do not understand your question. What do you want to know?

This question may be stupid, but when OpenVPN is connected, does all network traffic on the phone go through the VPN channel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Depends how you set the routes. If you set default route on then all should go over the VPN channel. You can check the routes with show information from the log widow.

It took me a while to enable 'redirect gateway' and configure NAT on the Linux server side, but after that this app works great and all traffic are going through the VPN tunnel! Thanks a lot!

To the OP: which version of OpenVPN did you bundle in the app? Does it support IPv6?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

2.3.0pre and it does support IPv6

Almost perfect app
Very helpful developer.
I like this program the best compared to the other one in here for ICS, as this one has more options, nicer layout, and is the only one working properly for me.
However I did have to put in my DNS settings automatically, but then everthing also worked correctly
Now I only miss a on/off widget, the app would be perfect!

What does "show connection information" show if you are connected? Which mobile phone are you using?

It shows that I've sent packets, but haven't received any. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus using CM9.
My guess is it's something on the server end that I need to configure... But I have no real experience with openVPN and have been just following guides I've found on the net. In my previous post is a picture of my server config in tomato, do you see anything wrong there? Or anything else I need to do somewhere else in the router?
edit: I even tried adding this to custom config on server side
Code:
push "redirect-gateway def1"
When I try to load a webpage all I see in the logs are stuff like:

Send Any file to Any smartphone

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of writing an Android app which will allow you send any file to any smartphone. The smartphone you send to doesn't need to be a droid and it doesn't need to have the app installed.
Currently I use email to send most things (zips, images and docs) which is a pain since I don't have the email of most people on my contact list. If we're in close enough range I use bluetooth but that doesn't play so well with iPhones and apparently my Nexus S doesn't like WP7 phones.. I'm also know people use Whatsapp although not everyone I know (me included) has Whatsapp.
What I need from you guys is an idea of what apps you currently use to send files and what file types you send? I'd also be interested to know how many people would be interested in this app.
Call it market research - Mods please move if I'm breaching any rules or this is the wrong section

On my iPhone 4S, I use something called AirBlue Sharing to send and receive files from almost any devices capable of sending and receiving files via Bluetooth. Between iOS devices, if it isn't connected to Wi-Fi, it creates its own Wi-Fi network and transfers files through that Wi-Fi network. If it is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it will use that to transfer files. Basically, it will send files faster to an iOS device than to something else like an Android device.
I've been sending files from my phone to my tablet using AirBlue Sharing for many file types - PNGs, AVIs, MKVs, MP3s, and zip files. I've even received and sent APK files to and from Android phones and boy, those Android users are very surprised :laugh:
Overall, if you want to create an app like this, I highly recommend that you use the awesome Wi-Fi transfer method.

Something like this could be nice
App Starts
_
Gives Your Phone An Id Based On Your Phone Number or Something Else
_
User Picks File
_
User Enters The Id of Target Phone
_
User of target phone grants permission to receive file from other phone
_
App uploads the file to the server
_
Target phone starts downloading
_
When the download ends target phone app tells server download ended
_
Server deletes file
_
End

Thanks for the replies.. I hadn't heard of airblue before so thanks for that. The second method suggested is kind of what I'm working on but alot more universal. Looks like the options currently are bluetooth or wifi which means both people have to be in the same place. Or a centralized server method which means both need some sort of account to talk to the server, both need the app installed and both need to be online aka Whatsapp.
Confirmed my suspicions that there isn't a universal app which doesn't require an account, doesn't require the receiver to have the app installed and doesn't require both people to be in the same place/same network. Well... there will be shortly

Application should use wifi hotspot and connect to other phone through wifi and simply share it...
I am having this type of application named Touch Pouch...
But it requires active internet connection... and you can send or receive files up to 300 MB....
For above 300MB its not working....
And speed is very good with this application ....

Nice concept! Goodluck!
Would be AWESOME if it would work with LAPTOPS too.
Goodluck!

[APP] [18/01/2013] AirDroid 2 Beta

AirDroid already controls your phone from any web browser, but the latest version of the app offers more useful features, like a new "find my phone" service that pinpoints your device via GPS and complete remote control of your device's camera. :good::good: Plus, it no longer requires your phone be on the same network to connect to it.
AirDroid 2 is in private beta, but the developers dropped the invite-only requirement to download. Even though the app isn't up at Google Play, you can download the APK from the link below. If you don't have an AirDroid account, you'll be prompted to create one when you download and launch the app. The two major features: GPS location and camera control, both work seamlessly. :victory:
You have to have GPS on for the 'Find My Phone' feature to work accurately. You also no longer have to have your phone and your desktop on the same network to control it—if you pair your phone and browser by scanning a QR code, you can turn off Wi-Fi and still manage your device over 3G/4G. If you want to give it a try, hit the link below for a direct download.

Yeah me too. It seems like it would be a great app, but I dont know if I trust that the dev wont have access to my phone as well since you dont have to be in the same network.

WiFi Direct

Do we have WiFi Direct feature added to our Atrix 2 ?
if Yes -> How can I get it on my Atrix?
if No - > Are our ThinkTanks are working on this ?
Its really a must have feature for sharing big files ( Movies )
Edit : for those who are looking for Wifi direct install SuperBeam from play.(works only on JB)

What's that? XD

Data sharing via WiFi just as we do through Bluetooth. (WiFi File Sharing etc. etc. terminology you may know this by)
There are many applications for the same on PLAY but they generate a code or BAR code BLAH BLAH for sharing and most of them are a headache to use !! Would be good if we have a direct option in our sharing menu
just select file -> tap on sharing -> select Wifi Direct -> search for devices in range -> Select and share kindda thing (similar to Bluetooth sharing)
P.S. : We have this feature in various Samsung and HTC cell phone

I see.. So is it fast to transfer big files?

Thanks for the share. Will give it a try !
But this app too uses the BARCODE system and all I was looking for the simple inbuilt search feature like the one we have in bluetooth. All the menu options same as Bluetooth just the transfer mode should be via WiFi.
BTW have you gave a look to WiFi direct feature on any other cell namely some Samsung or HTC models ???
Could you please give a try to this and let me know ?? : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.intelx.send.lite
