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 ?

Adhoc file transfer between 2 Android phones?

Hey
I want to use WiFi to transfer files from one Android phone to another Android phone. The only way to do this is thru a Adhoc connection (without a router). Is there a app that allows me to do this?
Thanks

I dont think so
Please add me on twitter. Just search for AndroidPhoneOS

Don't forget its Android, anything is possible, just need to find out a way.

Isn't bluetooth sufficient? Some apps allow you to view the other phone's files.

Enable wifi tethering on one phone and connect the other phone. Then use FTP or something to transfer files.
I don't have an extra phone to try this, but it should work.

I believe this is what you are after:

A 100MB file took about 50 minutes. WiFi would have allowed it to go much faster.

No. Hoccer works like a cloud so you need a internet connection.

It works !!!
I'm using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" , "DroidFTP PRO" and "ANDFTP".
The transfer via adhoc works perfect !!!

You can try wifi cast! I search for it in the market but i cannot find it anymore! So i have oploaded it! Its the lite version so it should be no problem! @mods: otherwise please delete the link! THX!

I am using a program called ZAPYA from playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dewmobile.kuaiya). It is exactly what you want. You can transfer at lightning speed.. even full movies in few seconds without need for routers...Create a group from one mobile and Search & Join the group from other mobile/Tablet. It will do all other things for you. Very simple to connect and transfer files. We use this will all our devices.

Use WiFi-Direct or SuperBeam(2.3.3+).
By the way, I'm looking for a tool to send/receive file between two android devices over internet( not on a same network) in real time(without using wifi), just as yahoo messenger does. Any standalone app(P2P) ?

Wifi Direct in Captivate

Ok I saw this option in the android system menu to turn on wifi direct, but I couldn't find anything further than that. How do I actually transfer files thorugh wifi direct??
Update:: MEthod for wifi file transfer from one phone to another.
Youu'll need ES file explorer on one phone and Swiftp on another
1. Toggle Wifi tethering on, on the device from which you will ransfer files.
2. Now connect the other device to this AP created by the tether.
3.Now on the same device(the one connected to the AP)start Esfile explorer and got to the ftp tab
4. Go to settings>scan. Es file explorer should now automatically find the other phone,

Just wanted to bump this thread....seems like no one's interested but I think wifi direct is awesome! and i know our phones are capable just that the right software is needed.

Many people are interested post have been viewed 212 times but no one is able to answer

well i got my mac address recognized in a sgsII, but nothing more than that :/

Not exactly what you want, but for transfering files by wifi i use the App SwiFTP. It's for free in the market (i can't post URL's cause i'm noob).
I hope this helps you ...

Air Droid is also amazing! It's free, and there is no windows installation required. You just run it on your phone. It gives you a web address and a password to enter on the website. Then you have access to your whole phone!

original thread updated with sort of a solution..

whats the best app for file share?

Hi All,
I have a wifi connection which can be connected to both pc and mobile. I need a great app for file transfer between my cell and pc without using data cable. ie using wifi. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Arun

I'm not sure about phone to pc, but for pc to phone, there's Awesome Drop. Not sure if that helps or not, sorry if it didn't.

Awesome Drop uses their servers and therefore requires a full internet connection. The OP is looking for an app like Airdroid which operates directly over your Wi-Fi and therefore needs no internet connection (plus it can do a lot more than file transfers).

If you search it for Android, maybe try Airdroid? It allows you upload or download files to/from your phone.
Thanks to it you can also write SMS using your computer and sent it from mobile

samba file sharing
free n simple to use

I agree with math.NUR.
Just set up SMB/CIFS file sharing on your PC and access it via a file manager that supports it like the ES File Explorer File Manager.

I vote dropbox.

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?

Its Blazing Fast Friend !!
Have seen the speed reaching 14 MB/s while I was transfering a movie through a WiFi share app
unfortunately that Application worked only to recieve but was not able to send file moreover I was kindda annoyed with the BAR code Scan to share file

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
