Free VPN working with Android (Hotspot Shield)? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried configurating Hotspot Shield VPN (http://hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone/get_started.php) that works fine on iPhone but I just can't make it work on Android.
Do you use Hotspot Shield with Android or do you know any other free VPN?

I tried the same but with no luck
Anyone else ??

not sure what the problem is but I can't seem to get it to connect either.

Shame no ones come up with any interesting news yet on the topic

I got it working with "VPN Connections 0.99" from handheld.softpedia.com
Running CyanogenMod 6.1 on an htc Desire. Works great for Pandora so far.
Thank goodness because the sites listed in this thread so far seem like crapola.

Sorry to ask but can you explain how, I keep getting fail to connect... Thanks

This is how i use my phone with hotspot shield...

That's exactly how I got it, but it keeps saying failed to connect... Does this works over 3G or just on Wi-Fi?
Thanks

Still no luck using same settings but I get Failed to Connect, over 3G and Wi-Fi, I think it might be a kernel problem or the tun.ko module, I checked my kernel and the module is there...
I'm Using AuraxTsense HTC Desire ROM.
Any Help would be great.

have no idead about htc desire, but on sgs it's working ) but i posted info ONLY about ipsec for HotSpotShield...

Still no luck on my side neither 3G or Wi-Fi works

i have no idea - me working perfect! did you get log/pass for iphone connection?

Skype!

Skype for Android has been released on the Android market. Unfortunately, the app does not officially support Galaxy S devices. So some users are experiencing difficulties logging in.
http://briefmobile.com/skype-launches-on-android
I tested the app on my 2.2 Froyo JI6 Captivate and it worked well! Woohoo!
Anyone get it working too? Any problems?
i Just downloaded on 2.1 - for some reason my phone rebooted at 40% during hte download - I have never had this happen and have had the phone since launch day.
No luck signing in right now... will try a few things and report back.
Yes, there is issues with 2.1 (it's noted several times on blog post on skype website). It does work fine on leaked 2.2.
My question though, I used market enabler to download I would guess european version of Skype (I emulated T-Mobile AT). Would that mean that I can make skype calls over 3G in US (since default install in US is limited to Wi-Fi connections only for voice calls). I don't have any contacts online so can not test it.

Hello,
I trying to use the code, but it send me to the market and says that is not available for my location, Can you put the apk here?
Thanks in advance!!
works great on 2.2

I get a bunch of FC's on mine... sucks.... COG2.2Beta-1.... Anyone with help on this issue?
-Ken
**EDIT NVM, reboot the phone and works great! Also I would turn off automatically start its under settings under profile in Skype
It does not support any LCD Density changes... So use stock LCD density 240 and it works fine... Besides stock, not sure which setting works other than 240 now....
**
I have ji6 2.2 and its says "We're sorry, but that Skype Name does not exist" it does so not sure what the problem is. I have tried over wifi and 3g still no luck
edit*** nevermine it works fine
Works just fine for me. About time we got Skype. The beta sucked.
It's useless in US since works only on Wi-Fi. When I have WiFi connection I usually have better means calling other people then Skype.
Works fine on 3G for me. What are you talking about?

Voice calls? Chat works over 3G.
This is documented limitation for users in US. Call only over WiFi not 3G. No such limitation in other countries. Wondering how they are figuring out where you are.
I haven't been able to test out the voice call yet as nobody is online on my contacts, but chat works. There has to be some kind of a bypass for that 3G limiter...
Sorry for the double post, but I think this may be of interest to everyone. Just found it over in the main android section.

Skype on 3G for US
Edit: It doesn't seem to work on 3G at all even with the modded apk. I just tried to call my sister from the bathroom asking for more TP.
I keep getting can't sign in errors, might just be that I'm on a stock rom though.

As are most people. Like myself. It works just fine if you have 2.2
No video calls?

Working just fine on 2.2. Didn't work at all on 2.1 though as stated. Skype's site doesn't allow you to download it though (phone is not supported message). Getting it from the market works fine though on 2.2.

Can't even sign in using that.
I do use the skype beta for text chat on my captivate, which is all I need as I have many skype contacts and we text chat often.
Why would it need access to my personal information (contacts...)! No thanks.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S noob here.

Hey all,
So basically I just bought my first android phone couple of weeks ago. Its the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 running 2.33 Firmware.
It is not yet rooted (have read some articles found in these forum found them really helpful)
but I'm not gonna root it for now I think cause this is my first android phone Im still a noob (used to apple)
Now my problem is I will be going abroad in 2 weeks and could really use the GPS.Tried donwloading GPS Status but i never actually got a lock on the satelites (or it took too long that I gave up) I also tried the fix but the code (but when dialing *#*#1472365#*#* nothing happened lol)
I also downloaded loads of GPS software such as AndNav2,Wisepilot,Navigon,CoPilot,Sycig but 90% of those gave me an error when I try them such as this software cannot be started on your device.
Is there any good GPS software/app which does not require an internet connection (pls not offline maps but like turn by turn app or similar.)
Thanks a lot.
Personally i use Copilot live 8
maybe you could flash the phone to a clean stock ROM and then try again ??
Good Luck!!
So I finally managed to fix it and get a fix on the satellites
Now my last problem is, I need a good turn by turn app that does not use internet (except maybe for downloading maps first time etc.)
Thanks.
Hmm anyone?
I'm using Navigon. You need an internet connection to download the maps. Following that, there is an option to turn off internet connection. Go to Menu>Settings - second option from the top.
in my personal experience... you need to learn how to root, flash firmware, etc...
i'm also a noob and used to apple devices..
before my galaxy s get great firmware (thx xda-dev), i miss my iphone so much...
but after flashed with great firmware, everything working great, nice apps.. and so on,
also a great benefit for me, i know how to do those things... and i can say bye2 for my apple devices now.. even one great iphone 5 wont help me back to apple
just PM me if you need anyhelp
hope you enjoy your sgs as much as i do...

[Q] Plex Client not working on Sprint

I've searched for awhile on this and can only find fixes for old HTC devices. The official Plex app works fine over wifi but not over Sprint's network. The thing I don't understand is it works on my tablet (Moto Xoom CM11) when tethered to my phone. As far as I can tell this only occurs on Sprint (XT1056). I've also noticed IheartRadio crashes on Sprint but not wifi. Any ideas?

Are you rooted with Xposeed? If so, you can try the method listed in my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-xfinity-tv-app-verizon-3g-4g-t2822906
Basically all it does is 'trick' apps into believing that you are on WiFi. It will be interesting to see if it resolves your issues.
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that when the module was released and tested it again today but didn't have any success. Any other ideas?

Could you please let me know the solution to this issue?
Am having similar issues.
check your APN
input correct settings to APN
try to reset the net using terminal
check the net using terminal if it is up or down if down something wrong with the rom or maybe your network provider doesnt recognize your device coz
it is Custom Rom
depende also in your provider .
how?

S5 Active - apps slow on WiFi

Hi. I have a new stock (not rooted) AT&T G870A running 5.1.1 with OJ3 baseband. I've noticed 2 apps, Instagram and Followers+ run very slow when the phone is connected to WiFi. If I turn off WiFi, they work fine. But as this phone is from my job, switching to cellular data for these 2 apps isn't really an option (nor is rooting it). Anybody run into anything similar (and fixed it)?
TIA,
-Jerry
PS... and like my Sprint S4 before this, it's rockin' a really sweet wallpaper from @rwilco12 pro wallpaper app... (shameless plug for forum mod... )

No problem and my pleasure! Thanks for all the great wallpapers! :good::good:
Found an answer....
After lots of Googling/reading, I found many dead ends. One of them said to disable IPV6 on your router. Didn't try it as the problem happened at home and at work. Then, the other day, things started working properly at my job. OK, maybe it is the network... When I got home, I disabled IPV6 on my internal router, and voila! Problem solved!
HTH,
-Jerry
