this is an odd one. With all the ten cent deals in the app store, i've finally bought some games for my phone. only problem is my phone is my internet connection, so i don't have a wifi hotspot to connect to to download the data required for certain games. anyone know a way, short of modding the apk, to spoof a wifi connection? thanks
It took a bit of digging but I found this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17124625#post17124625
I haven't tested it myself, but it appears other people have had success. Wouldn't mind knowing if it ends up working for ya.
Good luck.
Thanks for looking it up and getting back to me so fast man, you're always really helpful. I couldn't find anything to help before. Unfortunately it looks like game companies have gotten around this workaround... So no luck so far

What game? Maybe I could get it and download the data for you and upload it?

I imagine it has to be downloaded in-game?
You could always go park in front of a coffee shop for a few minutes.

Been using it since Alpha..It does well. I'm getting my Captivate tomorrow and this will go back on..lol
I just found out about it. People share the weirdest stuff on their phones lol
Tried it a while back. Never could get it to connect to other people. Gave up trying to use it. I have other, more reliable sources to obtain things I want.

It took me a few tries to connect but it works. I don't think its an app I'll use on a regular basics.
Worthless, as the app only works on wifi. 3/4 g is blocked
Not blocked. Its not incorporated. Check the update on there site. Lots of new dev work done. Like...a **** load.
Dual core CPU ftw!
Can't wait Im getting mine in the morning I was playing with the demo today and got 32 mbps download speed in Chicago SICK!!
Def getting mine this morning!!!

Went to the store and bought two of them.. one for me and the wife...
This phone is pretty awesome!!! Some things are blocked, like Skype (non-mobile) where you have to be on wifi to use it... or until someone figures out how to root it.. lol.
Plays Xfinity TV and Netflix Movies... love it!!

root already is available, amazing.
I will buy this phone if the bootloader is unlocked and when there is a good ROM to flash, hopefully this won't be longer than about a month because I really want this phone.

I'm waiting too, but I suspect that by the time this bootloader gets unlocked (if it ever happens), the Nexus Prime will be out, and will be awesome.

Just got mine this afternoon. Rooted & debloated, it's awesome. I never use stock tons, but in this case, it's not bad....
i got mine a few hours ago. i can't put it down. love browsing the web using firefox 4 in webtop. just need to grab a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. currently using the webtop adapter right now. the on screen keyboard is a tad slow, but won't be an issue with a real blue tooth keyboard. cant wait for devs to get ahold of this monster!
Car Dock Mode
I've been around smartphones a long time and have owned most of all types on the market. The Thunderbolt is a sweet phone with some of the new custom ROMs installed. Being the technology junky that I am I had to try out the Bionic. Nice. Smooth Smooth Smooth. I had to work at making the Thunderbolt what it should have been from HTC and Verizon, but the Bionic comes that way out of the box.
I travel a great deal, the Bionic is spot on in the car dock. I use Car Dock Ultra with Audible books, Google Nav, Google Places, etc etc. This phone does it all, no hesitation, no faults - it just works.
I rooted so I could use tether occasionally on the road but for now that is a no go. Still got my Bolt so I can still get it done.
Nice phone.

Its a little black box that plugs into your phone. I have an idea what it does but not sure. The funny part is, I have one.
You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com
Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?
Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app
What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings
Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!
I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

Exactly! In the time it takes to view 1 page of wallpapers on the app you can view 4 on the website.

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

You mean something like the Market where you pick something you want to d/l and instead of downloading on your pc it automatically d/l's to your phone? That would be sweet!

Yes mate - exactly that and yes, it would be awesome. Google would be doing a great thing if they included something like authenticated remote installation in the Android framework. That would get used so much!

Thanks for many kind words regarding the webpage! We are however not finished with the revamp
I have 100Mbps internet, and a Cisco EA4500 router
Galaxy Nexus gets around 30Mbps over WiFi.
Nexus 4 only gets 1.03Mbps down over WiFi
anyone else getting really atrocious speeds over WiFi?

Speedtest
Also, when trying to download apps from Play Store, small apps are taking forever to download.
So it's not just some incompatibility with Speedtest
I really wanna keep myself off of XDA, the more and more I read the more and more I wish I kept my SGS2 ):
Good thing I have 7 days to refund

I have no idea what you mean by "WiFi Canal"
but if you're talking about changing my WiFi channel, there is no need - every wireless device in my house gets great speeds:
Galaxy Nexus (x2, 2 family members have them)
Nexus 7
Asus EeePC 1000HE
MediaCentre PC
so it's nothing to do with my router, or my WiFi configuration. It's the phone.

(Try McDonalds wifi too ?)
I have a feeling it's your router and/or firewall settings.
For example, on my friends connection It'll take me 5mintues to DL a 3mb app from the playstore, but the speedtest is just fine. At home, it'll download in a second or two.
While the phone is the only thing experiencing the issue, your router is the only thing that could be causing it. Have you tried anyone elses wifi?

It saddens me that our beloved phone is officially dead. I hope some dev out there challenges our desire for a 5.0 update by destroying hardware limitations, battery consumption and the occational bugs. I'll be waiting for the day that Vivid rises from the ashes.
I'm still using mine since 2012, it's a good, reliable phone but admittedly has awful battery life.
Well, if it's hard to love, and you loved it. You're married to it.
RIP
Still using mine every day, thought admittedly as a WiFi-only device. Still a great screen and camera though. Just wish I could get a download of this custom ROM though as all the links in the thread have not surprisingly expired:

I'm currently using that ROM by Albinoman, i think you can send him a private message and ask for a link.
I don't have any copies of the rar file because i've been in this ROM for the past 4 years or so and my PC had a lot of anomalies that required a reformat.
I hope you find the link, you're gonna love it.

Well man you might be in luck. I'm porting 5.1.1 as we speak. Just a warning IDGAF about cellular connections, bluetooth or..... a lot of things. I want the camera to work, wifi and all my apps to work. SO. Maybe once I do that I can work on everything else if I want...
