Spoof location services - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to spoof Android location services? I'd like to get around MLB.TV blackout restrictions.
I'm using Unlocator for the browser version and it's working great.

I'm using unblock-us DNS with the MLB.tv XBMC app -- "MLBMC".
As far as using the official MLB.tv app I'm not sure, but I'd like to know as well. :good: (unblock-us does not work for that)

What VPN do you use?

I'm looking for one that will allow me to connect to France and the US. I used Hideman, which was a great app until it stopped working for me. Can't seem to find anything similar. I would welcome your suggestions. Thanks!

Did you sideload it, I can't find it in the Playstore?

Well for pc I use their software and for Tablet/mobile I configure under android settings. They have loads of tutorials how to set it up.

Another vote for HideMyAss or StrongVPN as it has both PPTP and OpenVPN with county selection.

Been using WiTopia for the past couple years. $69/year for multiple servers, unlimited bandwidth and pptp+l2tp+openvpn. If you want only one of the protocols,, they have cheaper plans available as well.
For app, you can manually add it in the vpn section or you can get the openvpn app from the market and set it up to use openvpn as well. There are several guides you can find on configuring openvpn on Android.

HideMan VPN

I use hideninja. It's not perfect but it's the cheapest (one time payment of about $5).

[Q] Pandora in Canada?

Has anyone in Canada been able to get it to download and work?
I know it's not available in Canada but surely there has to be some work around

Subscribe to a service like unblock us or unotelly. I am currently using unotelly. Their are many other VPN and dns services available to get pandora, US Netflix, amazon instant, Hulu plus, spotify.
I subscribe to unblock-us and it's set up on my phone. I put in my us sim to download the app and now I'm just fighting to get it set up lol

Are you doing it on wifi or the mobile network? Im guessing your just having problems downloading the app. Use an app like market enabler to change your location to allow you to download pandora.

VPN not working?

I am not able to connect to VPN using StrongVPN on Nexus 7 but it works fine on my phone. Did anyone experience the same problem? I am using latest stock firmware, rooted.
I'm able to use my PIA vpn with no issues so far.

same here..my private internet access VPN works fine
I, too, have problems with VPN. With the builtin VPN clients I can't connect but if I download a third-party PPTP client (I know, I know, not secure... I should be using OpenVPN or L2TP...). Haven't tried a third-party OpenVPN client because I don't feel like setting up the lockscreen password.
To the guys using pia how do you get the port its using?

It's set to use a random port automatically for both local and remote. No issues so far.
It might be worth mentioning I'm using PIA's own vpn app from the play store. On my phone I did it manually and had no issues that way, but since I got the new nexus I've just been using their app.

Built-in vpn is not able to connect... Seems like only vpn apps works.
I can't get in built VPN connecting on a variety of protocols either, but the app works fine (private internet access). It works OK, but noticeable lag on Netflix when compared to my PC. Any ideas?

I'm on strong vpn also and no issues using openvpn for android

the build in VPN didn't work for me. download the PIA client and it worked. :victory:
Built in may not work maybe The kernel is lacking the tun driver

Newest Version of Foxfi Bypasses Tethering

Can someone else please confirm these results? I used foxfi to tether my pc and to watch netflix on my ps3 and ive gone over the limit
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
it did this all the time dude
Can anyone confirm? Is this routing traffic through a proxy? T-Mobile scans headers and detects psn network so curious to see if anyone else has similar results.

You have to use a VPN if you want to use your ps3. I use hotspot shield for to achieve what you need. Along with wifi tether router. Trust me it works fine. I'm playing cod all day

What else do I have to do? Change settings, other apps, etc. I have the paid version of Foxfi & Wifi Tether. I have done everyrhing, but nobody post EXACTLY what they did, cause from every instruction I have followed, I keep getting up-sell & blocked. I am running Hyperdrive, and have Wicked on stand-by, please display EXACT STEPS.

(First let me say im on 4.3 bootloader using kitkat wicked 4.4) Get wicked rom change the apn protocols to ivp4/ivp6. Reset your phone and run the native (t-mobile) hotspot. Very simple.

Thanks for the help! I'm going to try it!

Tethering does work on Wicked or any rom... but T-Mobile blocks many ip addresses... PSN network, many XBMC addons like Icefilms using the FireTV. A work around would be great!

I have a plain Stock Rom on my thread, on the 3rd post, and follow directions, its not Rooted, and the tether works fine, i'm using it as we speak,
if you want it rooted, just flash chainfires superuser..
but if you mean you want it on your plain stock rom, it won't work, you need to do some edits on a few files.
look on my signature, it will lead u there. :good:

Netflix will tell you that it is a bandwidth issue and bandwidth issue and blame your ISP. Since you have Comcast and the Fire TVs bandwidth requirements that is probably the case. Comcast throttles Netflix bandwidth.
If I side load netflix app it also works but have to use mouse..it's not a netflix Comcast issue I don't think..netflix works on every other device I have

I found that if install amazon appstore (sideloaded) that now all apps are there and my Netflix now works
