Hi There,
Is there some way to connect to talk via some other port? Cause on some Wifi network(like at my library) the default port that gtalk uses on android is blocked.
Because of the stupid requirement of gtalk needing to be connected, I cannot download any apps.
Or better still has someone come up with a app that downloads apps from the market without the need to sign into gtalk.
I tried app brain, and I was thought it would download the app once I sync. But it has not done so.
Cheers
Pritish
This would be interesting to know if possible.
As for right now, I think your only solution is to try a proxy or vpn.

How can I connect through a proxy via wifi?
Can anyone explain to me why google made the gtalk sign in requirement for market?
I've uninstalled Gtalk via Titanium Backup, as I don't use or need it, and I can still download from the Market. Maybe it depends on phone?

Were not talking about the app, but the protocols it uses as that's how the market communicates with Googles servers
Sent from my Captivate
Found this website called Slideme. At the moment that's only place I can download apps over wifi, but they obviously don't have all the choices
The rom I'm using is Axis =]
Have you tried AnyConnect?
<Don't ask me how I sent this>
It's not that.
THe APP Onavo Extend is trying to connect to a VPN.. I click approve and it says
VPN Unavailable. It seems that VPN support for applications isn't available in your version of Android.
Still looking
In the past I've used an app that allowed me to set up a local VPN server on my Android phone and route all traffic through there. This app also allowed plugging in a blocklist (for ads). Because it was a VPN it worked without root and even allowed for blocking of app ads. However: I seem to have forgotten the name of this app! Is there a chance of one of the fine XDA members knowing the name of this app? I first read about it here, then downloaded it on the Play Store.
Here's to hoping you can help me,
Cheers,

I would not even want to guess how many VPN apps are posted on XDA.
Shouldn't need root for any VPN apps.
Try searching Android Apps and Games
or in chrome use: vpn site:forum.xda-developers.com
This thread will be moved to general/help
may be it removes for any violens of rule.
go to xda forum
you will try to find to xda
So I'm looking for an app that allows free wireless tethering for android, on iOS I used to use an app called MyWi from Cydia, everything I've looked up so far for android either requires using a pc with n app like pdanet or doesn't work, I need an app that doesn't let my carrier see that I'm tethering. The way MyWi worked on iOS was, any device that connects would use the same IP address as the phone providing the hotspot and it worked great I used to be able to tether as much as I wanted w/o my hotspot data being used up please help.

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck
Hello xda users.. today im facing a big problem..
I have op6 with rooted (magisk installed). oos 9.02
Ive installed latest adway 4.0.11. Everything works fine (adway gets permisions.. etc). But he does not stop the ads.
In magisk i have ticked systemless hosts same for adway in prefs. What i am doing wrong?
I am missing something?

I haven't routed a phone for a few years now but I seem to remember Adaway wrote its hosts file to the system partition. And isn't it the way of Magisk to not write anything to system?
I use Adguard directly from Adguard.com. It just works, (apart from the odd time Oneplus closes it ,) and I ALWAYS have Google Pay working too - so no hassle at checkouts.
Ended up using dns66.. cant make adway to work..

I have Adaway running on my rooted OP 6, but I'm not using that systemless switch you mentioned...

Use AdAway v3.3. I have it working perfectly fine.

I agree with you. Adaway just doesn't do anything for me. Adguard just works, and it works very well.
On unrooted phones, the VPN adapter is used to reroute traffic. As I use a normal VPN permanently to prohibit carrier deep packet inspection, any adblocker relying on the VPN approach is a nogo for me as Android only supports one VPN connection at a time.

I agree with you totally. I would much prefer your way of a permanent VPN and to block ads some other way.. However,
I need Google Pay to work all the time and not be in an arms race with Google;
I need to block ads;
I need a VPN that always has good connection speeds for downloads and not just a high burst speed for a few seconds..
That little list just won't work together. And that last point seems impossible to achieve - certainly with the many VPN services I've tried. I'm currently using Mullvad when I need security but cannot recommend it for speed
I use an OP6 with Android 9, OOS 9.0.1 routed with Madison 17.2
I have Google Pay, Adaway and my permanent VPN with OpenVPN.
I use NordVPN for which I pay but it's reliable and fast, allows multiple connections from my home router and my mobile.
Reliable and without any problems.

Adguard works both in vpn or in proxy mode. But for proxy mode, root is required. Using Adguard for an year ans its always my fav adblocker.
If you're using Magisk, both Magisk and Adaway need to be set to systemless via the settings in each application.
For some reason Adaway 4.x just ignore the restart warning and then just press check for updates again and it'll start properly downloading the host files.
My Adaway has the systemless setting grayed out and not ticked. I'm using Adaway 3.3 from F-Droid which is the latest version, there's no version 4. It's not available on Google Play.

Well and good for you. TrustPilot (UK) gives them only 5.8/10. There are some good and bad comments - as to be expected -but this is recent post. It chimes with my own experiences of paid VPN - more promises than delivery.
Extremely slow server
Extremely slow servers. Absolutely horrible app. They make it next to impossible to select a specific server you've used in the past and instead give you an unsorted list of thousands of servers to manually scroll through and try to find the one you want. You can search for a server but if you do it this way you can't add it to favourites.
They advertise as fast for p2p, yet my speeds are the slowest I've ever experienced with a VPN, including those lousy free vpn.

I'm aware this is off-topic for Adaway; apologies to OP for possible thread hi-jacking; but if you are in to ad-blocking the next step is VPN
I use the app OpenVPN which gives me more control, speed of servers vary but I am satisfied.
