App that will throttle my devices download speed - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know of an apparently that will do this? I want to limit my speed for watching videos so I don't hog our networks bandwidth. Something like netlimiter for the of. I'm surprised I can't find one as it would seem like a very useful app.
Thank you

App level intenet lock

Is there an app that makes it possible to prevent specified apps to access the internet?
Some apps generate to much unwanted trafic while with others its a question of privacy and security. Would be great to be able to address both.

Android wifi tether for SGH T959v

I've been searching and reading and I can't seem to find which Android wifi tether works best for our phone.
I went to google and it doesn't say galaxy S 4g so I'm not sure which apk download is safe to use on our phone. I know our phone is different from the vibrant.
Does anyone know which version works best on our phone?
What are you using and how do you rate it?
Thank you for your time and input.

I use easy teather But its not in the market anymore. It doesnt allow u to change Nat type setting. it is a real drag cause I got the phone for to use on my xbox360 so I could play online. But also there are various other apps in the market. just search and u will find and dont forget to check what others have to say about the app you intend on downloading. Some suck some dont.

it actually works fantastic. its kinda hidden though so dont be embarrased. Do you know how to find it?
Sorry to shove this question in here but since this seems like the right topic. Is there an app that will allow access to NAT(network address translation) settings? As usual samaung nor t-mobile could be of any help. I was told rooting would get me the access I need to deal with such a matter. Was this b.s. or is there a way?

im not sure of this. ill look into it
I would apreciate it. I have had no luck at all even after rooting and looking in forums and market apps. seems that not many people have looked into. Figured folks would considering how strict the security is. But im a noob so......

How r u getting a moderate Nat when this device is set to a strict Nat type? I can sign in and play some people but as for party,s or game addons I can't access much. Please let me know how your experience is (on xbox live)and what u have done to beat the Nat setting.

Unfortunately your about where I'm at. I can play live on certain games but can't download any content. But it works great for when I watch Netflix, and that's what I use it for.

Yea i was real dissapointed when i found out bout the nat. This was the main reason i got the phone. Hopefully I can find something on this matter that will help people like you and me enjoy Xbox live to the fullest extent.

Found an app that looks promising its called barnacle its on the market. And it allows Nat manipulation or something to that effect. I'm messing around with it but no luck so far.

[Q] Webroot Mobile Security?

What do you guys think of this app?
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-mobile-security-android-phone.html
It's most obvious features are malware protection (does this even exist for androids?) and virus protection (again...is this an issue for androids?)
But what intrigues me the most is that if my phone is lost, I can do audible locating, gps locatins, remote lockdown, or worst-case, remote wipe from another phone.
I know there are other free apps that offer the above tasks...I was using wheresmydroid before, but then had to supplement it with other apps to get all of these same features.
Anyway, I know it's an expensive app, but I'm not too concerned about the $15/year. But does anyone have any experience with this app? Does it do all that it says it does? Is there a better alternative available?
I dont know about that app....i use Lookout and I get all that, back up and phone location and such, too...it also scans apps you download to see if there "safe"....i haven't had any problems with it so far...theres a free version and a premium version

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know they had an app.

Turn screen off whilst displaying on TV via HDMI?

Is this possible? I use it for browsing the internet and general tablet, but can you turn off the screen when just watching or not using the transformer? Was wondering if this was possible at all.

i believe that the youtube app has that function as well as the google movies app but i dont think anything else does it. You would have to ask the app dev to include the feature

Can anyone explain why my data usage doesn't add up?

Google currents and music individual usage adds up to more than what is shown as total usage? I'm confused.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
the data usage shown in settings isn't accurate - for me at least so just download a third party app such as onavo or something
For me they add up. On multiple devices. Perhaps you've played around with custom roms, resetting the counter? Just a suggestion...
