Has anyone been able to successfully bypass the the verizon firewalls and been able to have the nfl .apk app to work on the captivate or vibrant?
I downloaded it after using market access to emulate verizon. It installed but just hung on the initial load screen when opened up. I really wanted it too!

I want this too!!
The guys in the nexus forum have been working on this for a while. He finally thought he had gotten passed it, and posted the apk on a different forum. Someone posted the apk on twitter and verizon caught wind of it and sent him a C&D letter. Plus cracking the apk is one thing, but trying to crack vcast is not going to happen. Looks like we are stuck the the espn apk.
Does anyone have a happy alternative to our dilema, other than ESPN's Score Center? It rocked on the iphone, a little too laggy on android. Maybe a good raido app that streams NFL games? Im in Tennessee, and im trying to get my Chicago Bears games. Please, someone help!
i wouldnt think it would be that hard to say get the apk off of the fascinate and then emulate whatever the communications between the phone and verizons server is.........pretty much spoofing verizons server for the app into thinking that its a verzion branded android device and therefor allowing any phone to access it...... of course if it was that easy it would already be done lol.
Looks like they figured it out over in the evo 4g section!!! Only works on wifi for us currently, make sure to reboot your phone after you install.

I tested it. Cannot get it to work over 3G or Wifi. It just sits there and loads forever.
Try rebooting. On my G1 it works over both, but on my gf's captivate it only works on wifi.
i downloaded it, ran droidexplorer to install it and it works flawlessly over wifi. However 3g does not work.
Reboot your phone if it just loads forever
This is amazing....too bad it doesn't work for me on 3G, would love to watch the noon games while i am tailgating on Sunday...
try this out
Hi I am on att using captivate, I just installed this app today and was only able to connect thru wifi as well. I had to get some stuff done round the house and so I turned off my wifi while the NFL app was still running and to my surprise the app still worked and appears to be using my 3G connection.
Works on 3g for me
Yeah I actually downloaded an unlocked apk file at droidforums.net. It is working great over 3g as well for me as of right now on my Captivate.
I however cannot post the link but I will post the apk file.
Also, I'm not sure if it matters but I did have it running first with my wifi on and then I turned it off to test it on 3g. They also have an unlocker tool on that website but I didn't have to use it. Hope it works for you guys.
EDIT: By the way, when you download this through your phone, use Astro or some other file manager to rename it to an .apk file.
NFL Verizon used to work on wireless now not working
Anybody still using this? Even though the app used to run on wireless (3g used to give me some error) after the season got kicked off for real I got a message that I wasn't a Verizon customer. The live streaming never worked, but the app and some of the videos did. I'm running SRE v1.2.2.a (which I know I have to update) but it did work before....anyone else have any luck?
***I must not have been logged in before because I didn't see the zip file above my post last time I saw it, I'll give that one a go***
Worked for me just fine on wifi last night.
still doesn't work on 3g...but
it worked on wifi and I was streaming the NFL channel. It seemed to keep going after I ditched the wifi and was just on 3g, but it won't fire if I just open it up on 3g....
one interesting thing I noted yesterday is that when I turn Mobile AP on and connect my roommate's Vibrant on T-Mo it worked fine, which tells me the app itself is what blocks it from working over 3G vs something like blacklisting the IP's from AT&T, T-Mo, and Sprint...
yeah I mean the only way I get it to work on 3g is if I start it on wireless and then turn wireless off, so there is a check somewhere. Wonder if the app could be faked into thinking it was on wireless or something like that. Anybody have this working on 3g straight from the get go? I get "cannot connect to NFL Mobile. please establish a connection and try again"

for free?? if im using at&t
It works sweet on my At&t Fuze! Thanks!
Errors out on my Fuze.
yeah i want to know if it works on the fuze and if it works over wifi because i dont have a data plan. Thanks
thanks, just in time for playoffs!
works on my Fuze on 3G fine
Hmm, what am I doing wrong for me to have it error out on me like that? Installs fine but unable to launch it. Using ROMeOS's latest.
It may just be software issues on my end.
EDIT: Works now, I actually stopped and read the error (duh), It didn't see my data connection so I turned on Wifi. I may have to tinker in the connection settings to see my data connection.
BTW thnx OP for the cab.
how is the speed on TP? I recently upgraded from an apache and the NFL app was slow as sh*t
i cant install it because of an error in the setup file?? any suggestions?

Pretty slow for me on the fuze.
I got the error too initially. Do a soft reset. It worked for me.
I got it to install just fine and i can read all the links and stories but i can not see any video. with that being said..... NOW i am using this on an EPIX (dont see and good threads anywhere sorry) most all .cab's work like the should (ppc wm6.1 and so on)but the software tells me that i dont have a device that can stream video??? any ideas? could this be because sprint has nothing like this device and the FUZE is on their network???? any feed back would be nice.
Sorry guys, I don't really have any answers...Bit I am using Hibby's 1.7 ROM from ppgeeks. I don't plan on using this all that much, but as far as I can see, the app works 100% on my phone. Yes, a little slow, but it works.
I have the ATT Fuze.....works Great Thank You!
works amazing! thanks! anyway to get the video to play fullscreen though?
Installed with no issues and runs with no issues. But like some others, it does seem to run pretty slow.
It works on my Tilt, but I can't watch any video. I'll be getting my Fuze this weekend and will try it on there
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new to the forums so please bear with me if I'm posting in the wrong spot or totally missed a similar thread.
I just recently decided to go ahead and root my phone after the 2.1 update and before that "security patch" closed the hole. So I successfully rooted my HTC (sprint) hero w/ regaw_leinad's post (awesome help thanks btw).
Everything seems to be running great, but one of the main reasons I attempted to go ahead and root my phone was to use some 3rd party apps, most notably the WIFI Tether app.
It installed correctly and everything looks like great except for it doesn't actually seem to connect to anything. I can see the connection just fine on several laptops and even my ipad sees it. I can connect to it, and I can ping the gateway just fine, but when attempting to actually surf the web, grab email, etc it just doesn't work (shows page cannot be displayed).
I've been following a couple of threads that indicate that the something is just simply wrong with the stock 2.1 HTC ROM that prevents it, and you need to change to a custom ROM to get it to work (I think some people are using the MoDaCo (sp??)).
So I'm definitely not opposed to flashing the ROM. Would you agree that is the issue and if so, what ROM should I flash to?
Thanks in advance!
i have the same problem with the stock rom, rooted
i use wifi tether 1.6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...il?name=wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk&can=2&q=
works fine for me on 2.1
Mine connects but without net. I just start up the tether then disable mobile net on the phone then enable it back then works like a charm

Basically, this is a long ass list of different things, but take a look at the bottom post:
Start Wireless Tether
Hold down the red Hang Up button
Tap the last option "Mobile Network to disable my network
Again hold down the red Hang Up button and re-enable my "Mobile Network"
Just confirmed it works - can connect my ipad, mac, pc laptop to it. I'm using a stock 2.1 android that's just been freshly rooted. Spread the word if anyone is having the same trouble.
ah Sim beat me to it
are you using an app off the market or the one on http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether, if so, which version worked for you?
Lol yeah i figured it out yesterday by accident trying to get my laptop going

lol thats slow as he11, must have poor reception usually i can get 1.5 up and .5 down with a 150-300ms ping with good reception.
I had the same problem with the version from the market. I went to the developer's website and there were some newer alternate versions of that app. I installed the one from May 25th (I think) and it works like a charm.
I used the one click root on unrevoked.com to root my Hero
The market version has never worked for me. It actually even says in the notes for the market version there's a new version for the Hero and Legend on the site. That being said, the only one that works for me without disconnecting/reconnecting over and over is 1.60.
"Unable to star tethering. Please try again!"
my hero is definitely rooted i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 awhile ago. I downloaded tether app from google code as posted earlier, but every time i click the green tether it stays start tethering then goes to "Unable to star tethering. Please try again!"
I also tried the hang up button trick as mentioned.
Thanks for your help.
ps. I haven't changed any settings am i supposed to in the Wireless Tether for Root Users? Also is there a specific way to install? I just downloaded by emailing my self url and installing from the device.
please delete: I repsted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6897861#post6897861
So far I've heard that ATT is blocking us from EasyTether in the market. It looks like there are about 5 more tether programs that ATT is blocking as well. Is there anything else that they are blocking us from? Maybe we could make a list of them here. Not sure why they bother blocking them since its so easy to get around.
According to these posts, this seems to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6910085&postcount=1
No, the apk linked to in the above post does not work.
Aw, sorry then.
Even if you install it, I think it still doesn't work. Some people are working on it, I believe.

I think this was mentioned in the forum but I was able to use easytether by taking out my sim card. Then downloading easytether through wifi with the sim card out. After the installation I put my sim card back in and everything worked fine.

I haven't tried to use it yet but I was able to download it from the marketplace by simply going into Airplane mode and then turning on Wi-Fi; I didn't have to remove my SIM or anything like that.

I did this and was able to download and install Easytether. It's working fine with my 32bit XP machine
$10 and it doesn't even have bluetooth or wifi tethering? Am I missing something? We need to find some free ones that work.
I have installed PDANet and it was quite easy search the threads and you will find easy solutions to install your 3rd party apps.

Well, I wasn't really asking about tethering, theres lots of posts about that already. I was more wondering if there was anything besides tethering apps that att is blocking us from getting.
Not sure if they're blocking any other apps besides tethering ones, but a way to find out is you can install market enabler to get access to other service provider markets and download their apps.

As someone else suggested, if you put the phone in Airplane mode and turn on wifi, you can browse the market without the AT&T filtering same as if you removed the SIM card.

Well, I was able to download it, but after trying to play two different videos, it resulted in the green screen of death, no audio, and a forced reboot (that it did on its own).
Not messing with it until they figure it out...
Edit: oh yeah, I'm NOT rooted (well I guess that would be obvious...)

Yeah I just realized, I forgot to say this was over 3G as well. Maybe the 3G speed is just too crappy for now.
Well my droid og worked fine with netflixs from my desk.. .. plus using playon for netflix over 3g on my droid 3 works just fine.. lets hope they are not blocking..
It works now, they forgot to update the actual app. Just updated the description.
Update!
seems to be working just fine now over 3g after an uninstall and reinstall
Yep, works fine for me after the update. Thanks to everyone who recommended this!

Ok, Ive been looking around these forums for a while and havent come across a working way to tether FROM you pc TO your tablet over wifi. I can do it over usb but the play store doesnt work and the bluetooth option isnt for me. I found a way to actually get wifi to work (at least for me) if thiere is a easier way please let me know
First for me I am using to wifi cards for this however it should work over Ethernet or hell even dial-up.
1.Whatever connection you are using to connect to the web allow it to share the connection.
2.Download this app WiFiHotspot creator or if you trust me here is a link to it http://jumbofiles.com/y0l9dv3pbh5x be aware that unless you go for a advance install it wants to install alot of bloatware, nothing malicious just annoying!!!!
3. Once its installed just run it, it's very self-explanatory.
I've noticed its not very fast but it gets the job done. Also it works for everything Ive tested it with. Play, Youtube, network games.
If its any help Im running Windows 7
Thanx guys
I use connectify it gets the job done very well. I also am running the comp off of wifi and re broadcasting wifi with the same card using it

You beautiful beautiful man, seriously so grateful for this. You absolute lifesaver. God if I could give you a hug I would.
I wasn't able to get your file because the site was down but I downloaded the program from the authors site, start the install and AVG flipped out. After looking around a bit, it's not just me. Be careful w/ this program.
