2017 mlb.tv blackouts - General Questions and Answers

Has anyone managed to workaround MLB.tv blackouts this year? I did the usual signing up through free T-Mobile promo then tried both smart DNS and VPN but somehow they know where I am. Tried using mobile phone with location faked, Android TV without any location permissions, and a windows 10 PC ... All with the same result, they seem to know where I am.

I was looking for this earlier today, and found an article on comparitech that offers a few ideas. I don't know that I can link an external site from here, but you ought to be able to find it with a quick search engine query. It had 3 android solutions, so one of them should help.

Windows Live Login

Hello,
I have recently started using XDA serra which is replacement to XDA Trion that I had earlier. It has windows mobile V6.1 pre-installed and everything works just perfect. I have unlimited internet data plan and am able to browse using Opera and IE.
My problem is that I am unable to connect using Windows Live. When I try logging in I get following errors.
Error Message when trying to login Windows Live:
“Windows Live was unable to establish an internet connection. Please Check your internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help please contact your mobile service provider.”
Error Message when trying to login using Windows Live messenger.
“There is a connectivity problem. Make sure you’re in an area with good reception and try again.”
Now since am able to do all browsing etc I am sure the error messages are not correct. I have done my bit of googling and I know there are people who had similar issues but there isn’t a solution that I could find and make it work for me.
I even tried installing the version of messenger provided on this forum somewhere but it did not work.
The windows live version installed on this phone at the mo is: 10.6.0039.1300
Please could someone help me in sorting out this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit.
someone...anyone....
SOLVED
I somehow have got this problem solved and have been enjoying windows live for last four days. Last Sunday I was too frustrated and just went to start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
This brought the phone to factory settings.
I then before installing anything else configured Windows Live.
Then I installed each programme one by one and deliberately left Skype as last two times I had observed that windows live had stopped working only after I installed skype.
Hope this might help some more people.
Cheers,
Ankit.

Toshiba TG01, 3UK (three), iSkoot free Skype. Anyone one managed to get this to work?

Hi, I have been trying to get my TG01 to use the free Skype on 3UK. what I have done so far is install iskoot, changed the registry values as people say to do on forums winmo phones but I keep getting unable to connect when attempting to login to Skype. I have notices baseurl keeps changing.
I have also changed the APN to 3services, I can go onto free internet services on 3UK like ebay and planet3?
I want to get the free Skype and Windows Live Messenger to work on this, I have not tried getting Windows live messenger to work yet, been too stuck on the iskoot skype thing, it's driving me nuts.
Has anyone managed to get these free services from 3UK to work on their TG01?
Also I have found that 3UK is now selling the HTC Hero with these free services and I think you can download both Skype and Windows live messenger if you have the HTC Hero, has anyone got the installation files to share or tried installing this on another winmo phone? does anyone know what the HTC Hero user-agent is in Netfront?
Edit: just noticed the HTC Hero is on android and not Windows Mobile, but still other winmo users have managed to get their 3UK skype working through iskoot. Anyone having this same problem or know of any possible solutions? (keep getting the unable to connect message)
Any help much appreciated

3 uk has free skype service which routes calls through a 3's special GSM number instead of internet/3g/wifi. normal skype client routes calls using skype servers but this will cost you data charges but 3's skype routing is free as long as you are on skype. Now, iskoot makes special clients to route skype calls through 3's GSM number.
Yep I think coolkat is right.
So far I have managed to get free ebay, limited Google also a few bits a bobs 3UK gives for free like weather news clips without topup.
I really want to be able to use the free skype to skype text and calls even though I have never used skype before, I have created accounts with them just for this purpose.
I don't see why it is not allowing me, I have followed the step by step instructions people have posted on other threads but repeatedly getting unable to connect. Thinking of trying the 16th March Windows Mobile 6.5 update sometime soon to see if it will help.

[Q] Say what? Wi-fi internet sharing for Windows Mobile 6.5?

Hi everyone. I've been hearing mention of some sort of Internet Sharing application or addon to the comm manager, that would allow me to turn my phone into some sort of hub. I'd like to be able to use my phone's connection with my iPod Touch, (or perhaps, other devices), so my searching is what has lead me here.
However, I don't really know what the "defacto" modification is for getting this capability. I've seen several threads already. Also, they seem to lack in documentation. They come in cab files - would that mean I can just download and install from my phone right away?
So if anyone can recommend me a wifi sharing app, (preferably for the HTC Ozone), I would be very grateful.

Auugghh. The website logged me out, so I lost my entire post
Anyhow, I'll try and re-write what I had last time:
So I'd like to use 0.9.1, since it seems to be the last free version. I downloaded it and installed it ok, but I have no idea how to use it past that. Could you possibly link me to a guide, or detail it in here?
Well, I gave in at the airport and just downloaded the trial.
Very nice. I'm so glad that I can use a browser that was a least half thought out (safari mobile) rather than that Intermet explorer. What a waste of my unlimited data plan that would have been.
Although, I'd like to be able to use that free version of WMWifi if I could. So does anyone happen to have a guide for it?

[Q] Using marketplace in emulator / downloading XAPs?

Hi guys,
I got a Windows Phone. I had doubts, I swapped it for an Android. Now I think I might have made the wrong choice! But I don't want to do yet another return without confirming some stuff to myself. My big problem for WP7 was that the maps and Google Chat integration weren't very good. I've downloaded the XAP for Nokia Maps and loaded it into the emulator- it solves most of the complaints I have, so all I have left is GChat.
There's an app called OctroTalk that is apparently way better than IM+- it's free in the marketplace, and I want to try this out in the emulator too. I got Marketplace access by following these instructions:
(removed link because I'm not allowed to post them)
but I can't actually sign in with my Live account. Any ideas why? Or, is there any way to get XAP files from the Marketplace to manually sideload myself?
Found an answer online! Can't post the link, but you can Google for it.
Unfortunately, OctroTalk doesn't seem much better than IM+. Shame.

Splashtop Anywhere Access Pack FREE! sort of.

Mod Edit: content removed.
please elaborate steps 4 to 9.
You sir are brilliant lol... or more like I'm dumb I completely forgot about just using VPN with this even though it's setup already *facepalm*
I already bought splashtop, the company is full of deceptive liars. I would love to get this working on my andoid device. Has anyone actually got this to work. Are they blocking this?
Great guide. Thanks! :good:
Huh? I play FEAR, Skyrim and Anno 1404 over Splashtop THD every day in the train, never noticed anything about additional payments
Edit: Oh. Right. No, forget I said anything. I momentarily forgot where I got Splashtop from... :silly:
So I followed your tutorial and getting PPTP VPN is A PAIN IN THE ASS. Aside from that I got it working. I am having another issue that maybe you can help me out with. On my galaxy nexus, I connect to the VPN over my 4g LTE connection on my phone. Once I connect to my VPN and log into Splashtop 2, I can't reach splashtop servers. Do any of you guys have this same problem?
Am I missing something?
I am out of ideas why I can't connect to my Windows 7 vpn host from my iphone 4 running on ios6.1.2. I've doubled checked my settings and open ports, but I can't seem to get my iphone to connect to my vpn.
I can; however, connect if I am connected to my network AND using my local ip address. But, I cannot connect using my external address while being connected to the same network or 3G.
Port 1723 tcp is forwarded and I have verify it by checking with an online port checker. Can someone suggest what else I need to check or enable? I have also tried disabling windows firewall and my virus program to no available.
?
Im sorry if i sound stupid but i really don't understand the tutorial. Is it possible that you can make a video tutorial? It does not matter to me if the quality is not that great but i just really need a video or at least some pictures to guide me....
I neeed help
what do you put for the server ip
Anything that bypasses paid features of an app or program is considered warez on XDA. This one slipped through the cracks.... But now it's closed.
