AT&T Blocked apps? - HTC Aria Themes and Apps

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.

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.

Obviously, unblocking is harder than once imagined. People still don't have it working yet....

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.

does this need to be installed on all computers i use? or as long as the phone has this app?
It says just Phone, but at&t blocked it so you can't see it from the app store.
You can install it from within the PC app.
You should be able to run it without a PC app via Bluetooth once the app is on the phone, but I havn't tried it.

Yea, was using it with my Backflop, then when I got the Aria I pushed the phone software down and it worked first time. I have NOT tried it with Bluetooth tethering, only with wired tethering. It works over the adb bridge, so it works on most android devices.
It appears as though tethering IS available without the need for any modifications to your Aria. Install Easy Tether via wifi without the sim card, and apparently it works (still waiting on mine from FedEx).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710593
Yup....works like a charm. Aria, new out of the box, removed SIM card, downloaded Easy Tether via wifi, and I'm on. Also, I was able to download all the apps that are "blocked" by ATT - no need for any crazy rooting or in depth programing. This is an amazing phone - very impressed so far.

Verizon NFL app

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!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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"

Download the Samsung one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&page=25 and download google's Wifi tether app or Barnacle wifi from market. If you can't find it in the market, you can use Market Enabler from the market to fool the market into thinking you are on TMobile.
Anything new on the tether without a root. Can't seem to find any of the programs that people talk about.
Thanks
dont mean to hijack but it has to do with captivate tethering..
i have assonance 5.2 and have tried tethering to my pc. seems to work but what i am really looking for is a way to tether and use my PC'S connection on my PHONE so i dont have to dwindle my data plan. ive been looking for a while actually on how i could 'reverse tether' but i guess im blind.
i know, its unbelievable isnt it?
Are you trying to tether from a laptop or pc

yea it should b possible but not very usefull since most pc's connect through wifi anyways so it would probely b more efficient to use wifi on your phone through your home network by installing a wireless router unless you are hard wired in which case u would need some kind of mobile hotspot type of program using wifi or bluetooth also usb of some sorts
problem solved with the newest version of connectify.
edit: well, my problem anyways.

[Q] Captivate - Cant download ANY apps from Marketplace + cant sign on GTALK

My gtalk doesn’t sign me in, and my marketplace app downloads just stay on “starting download”.
I am on a unsecured wifi network with no SIM card in, and have tried clearing cache and force restarting the marketplace. I have the latest stock 2.2.1 Froyo update on the Samsung Captivate.
Any pointers for me? Or should I just go ahead and try out an unofficial ROM?
BTW, I have tried hard reset, clearing cache and taking SD card out things mentioned in the other threads.
This problem seems to be a generic Android one, Anyone experience this? Any Solutions one can think of?

You have stock 2.2.1? Don't you mean stock 2.2?
Maybe this is an issue because you don't have a SIM card in the phone. Have you tried it with the SIM card in?
If this is a new account it is possible that the data plan was not set up correctly... I would check with AT&T if you do not have the 3G icon showing in the status bar
** Never Mind, I missed the part about you using WiFi and no SIM ***

Thanks all,
No, I have not put my SIM yet. Apologies I dint mention before, its a device brought from CL and I plan to use it on network other than AT&T, so I will proceed to rooting and unlocking.
But before I did that, I just wanted to basically use it on WiFi Network, get a feel of my first android device and the overall Samsung package.
The funny thing is, It just started working at other Wifi (secured) network. But the first Wifi network isnt all bad I know because I am using an iPhone and my laptop just fine there!
So I am thinking its gotta be something related to wifi network being unsecured vs. one with WPA2, I just cant think of what.
Can anyone test their captivate (2.2) on unsecured wifi network and let me know if Gtalk and Marketplace downloads work?
Thank you all!
it certainly could be a compatibility issue between you phone's wifi and that particular wireless router. I had that problem with a US Robotics wifi router and my last cell phone, but all other wifi devices connected and worked perfectly. Replaced the router and my cell phone wifi began working perfectly.

[Q] Is it just me, or is the Xposed repo down?

I have been trying to download xposed modules (and even the latest xposed framework) all day. Each time it just sits there "Download waiting...." forever till it fails. I just tried to download one of the module apk files via my desktop browser, and it is sitting there for about 4 minutes not "connecting".
So far I do not see anyone else complaining about this so I do not know what is up.

When I switch to mobile data network on AT&T it downloads just fine. This is ridiculous, I've never had restrictions on this ISP before. I'm about to call cox right now.

I have, for years. They block high profile irc networks dns by redireting it to their own server (which then auto joins your user to a channel and tries to run a lot of botnet commands to uninstall a botnet client in the event you are compromised). I used to have to deal with this a lot years ago when I was on irc frequently. They will deny it, but they have been doing stuff like that for years.
Then again, it could be some sort of dns issue that will work itself out.

I'm having the same issue here in South East US. To make a long story short, I couldn't download any modules so I thought maybe to uninstall my Xposed app and reinstall. Now I can't even install the Xposed Framework. Like you said, it just times out. I just rooted a new phone and I desperately need my Xposed! I have the APK saved to my device and can reinstall from their however this doesn't help because I still can't install modules through the framework. Any suggestions???

I'm not sure what support you think anyone can provide. The repo works fine for most people, indicating that there's nothing wrong with it and the problem is almost certainly something at your end.

It just strange that this is happening and I'm reading reports where people other than me seem to be having the same issue. I guess I was hoping for some direction or trouble shooting suggestions from XDA forums as I honestly wouldn't know of a better place to search for assistance. Is there any suggestions that might help me back track the issue. I've honestly tried everything I know. I purposely side loaded two third party apps and those installed flawlessly. It's only the xposed framework application and it's modules I'm having trouble with... timing out and not installing. The modules I have pre existing on my SD installed fine, it's only when trying trying to download from within the Xposed framework that doesn't install. I show an update available for one of my existing modules and it won't even update.... same thing, it just times out. Again, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This seems to be a network related issue, rather than a problem with the repo. I have updated several modules over a couple of days with no issues and this problem only seems to be affecting a small amount of people.
Are you using the same internet provider as others in the thread? I can only think they blocked it as GermainZ said earlier. Perhaps a visit to the support forum of your provider might help, even to check if anyone else reported this issue.
