topics are appearing and disappearing on the front page. another thing, most front page topics attract a lot of traffic but today there are very few people on such topics but people are commenting

darkhand: @ yawa-ti-de
I take your point but it seems that a lot of people misunderstand. These websites are for a particular market. Small business. Nothing here says that I will build a website for a commercial bank for this price.

so on point. you need to specify what kind of website you gave in mind. I listen to a lot of online radios and I remember a certain program where I man was eating in a restaurant and overheard the manager complaining to someone that he wanted to open a website for his restaurant business. the customer opened his laptop and opened a website for the manager at a certain site for free and gave the guy the password for the website in under 10 mins. if you want an elaborate website I suppose paying that amount is justified. but for a simple business website, you don't have to pay through your nose. but man must eat and suckers are bitten every day

@puskin, thanks for the info.
@raynold, would send it this evening.
@ 4llerbuntu, could you look at this app SYSTEM CONTROL PRO. let me know what you think.thanks

I said, for some reason I can't make it work on another Android phone. it's either browsing works but downloading doesn't or downloading works but not browsing. it's not stable

never mind. it breaks a lot and I can't make it work on another Android phone.

@puskin, am I allowed to post a hack I noticed on glo for Android here? after what happened to my mtn hack, i'm still undecided about starting up a new thread. our I could send it to a few of my followers?

Mart d dart: Hello, Ladies and Gents. I have this little problem, it's called "How do I buy games from Google Play Store" I have downloaded some free ones (Real football 2013 inclusive, took so much data to install) I tried buying one called BackStab.....Need Assistance A.S.A.P

do you have a GTB ATM card? go to Google wallet and link your atm card to it. i bought some apps for my s2 that way. check my previous posts for the procedure but its really easy

YoungGame: change your apn from blackberry.net to rim.blackberry.net i hope it works for you.
Thats what am using and it works. *cheers*

observed something very odd about this. don't know if it's a hack or tweak or what? further evaluation ongoing

glad to help

just installed NETWORK LOG and found so many apps that there sneaking online to obtain goodness knows what. no wonder my data finishes so fast. reinstalling Droidwall now

[quote author=Jhaay-Young]I have an HTC desire... It prompted me to upgrade from Android market to play store which I did.. Afterwards, the playstore never allows me download anything.. Even when 3G signal is so strong.. It keeps writing connection error.. And the phone surfs the internet properly.. I need Advise please..[/quote]had the same problem when I upgraded to play store on my old phone. I think I cleared data in the settings, application, play store . i'm not sure how it resolved

suddenly realized that all these symptoms occur when I see GEJ on TV

tomii: pls, i nid a broader knwldge on wot droidvpn is.

in order to understand it you have to understand how icmp works. if you do a deep research on it you can learn how to run the process on a system. not for the faint of heart

4llerbuntu: i need an application that i can use to modify app permissions granularly.

i usually make do with LBE privacy but for some reason it has crashed my Jellybean ROM twice.



anyone know any like that? need to deny specific permissions for some apps

I remember I had an app like that. I think its setpermisson our something like that.can't remember where I got it our stored it. was using it on gingerbread until my phone crashed. will look for it

4llerbuntu: i will have you pple know that torrents r banned on droidvpn! ur acct will be banned with no refund

I know about that but if you use the old Droidvpn you can torrent with it. I remember I updated and tried ttorrent on it and got a warning. I then removed it and reinstalled the old one and was able to download 5 PSP ISO files. however, that was a month ago.

sambass: @leo, any idea about latest etisalat bb tricks? pls pm if u knw about it. thanks

i don't use etisalat and where i stay the network is slow

BLACKBERRY.NET is back

I have been following this thread and the progress so far and I never believedit when people said it was blocked. I did extensive research on the above APN and like that female commenter said, you need that apn, to access the blackberry server. it can be restricted but not easily changed. checked a lot of countries and they all use that apn. Nigeria can't just be different from the rest.
around 10am today, a friend of mine showed me that his glo network using the apn was back however it wasn't browsing. tried mine but it didn't connect. about an hour ago,I tried it again and it connected but was very slow then stopped. still have 2gb on it. i'm happy the network is back even if its not connecting. try yours and see if it will show. if it is now back but restricted, well there are ways....

lol. sorry i didn't explain it well. open garden is the name of the app. open garden is also the name of the company that made the app. when you search for open garden, the second result is an app called WIFI TETHERING also by the same company. install that instead. it has an icon of the sun shining down on a flower

@puskin, i have an issue with the PM method on nairaland. its cumbersome. can't we create an app for it or simplify it? like what's happening on the glo thread (BTW,since its been blocked?, hacking mode activated ) we also need a group for us android fans. any hope for it ?

bily: is interesting to know one can buy anything on Amazon with gtb atm card as long as one ships to a USA addy. but I used to think that they usually will not ship to an alternate address that is different from that on card. please I'm interested how you did it I.e shipping to a USA address from a Nigerian addressed card on Amazon.thanks

my shipping address was my friends place in Dallas. my billing address is here in Nigeria. considering i have now linked my debit card with Google wallet I'm searching for other stores that i can buy things it

4llerbuntu: Can someone explain what goes on with that opengarden thing?

open garden has two functions. it has a peer to peer network mode in which you share internet access with someone else who has the app ( like torrent, i think ) and an ad-hoc mode which creates a hotspot separate from the hotspot capability of your phone. open garden has two apps on the play store. make sure you take the wifi version. because droidvpn wouldn't use the default iptables of the phone , i had to look for something to merge with it to make a hotspot with it and that's when i found it. an alternative is GAEproxy

myus(.) com

I also thought of that but I read a lot of negative comments about units that they bought from various China sites and problems with the units and customer services. if you can validate and trust the suppler than its okay. make sure you also add the logitech wireless pad or a PS3 USB pad to fully enjoy it

Toroze: @leopantro. Did you buy your android mk808 tv online if yes which site did you buy it from and How did you ship it down to nigeria

I used my GTB ATM debit card to buy it on Amazon and sent it to a friend of mine in Dallas who was coming back for the Christmas. I bought it with a k400 wireless keyboard. total cost was less than $100. free shipping during the xmas. I later came across a website where you pay for a virtual address where you can ship it to. the company will receive the goods and send it to Nigeria for you. will get the website if you want. A friend of mine used it to buy a Nook HD reader and a battery powered Sim router

forgive me but i don't understand why someone should create a website for me with that amount and my creating one on squarespace

4llerbuntu: what happened to the default hotspot?

for some reason, it doesn't use the iptables of the phone and uses its own iptables therefore you can't use the phone default hotspot capability. however it works with some phones like Hauwei. for those phones that can't use the default hotspot you can use open garden

raynold: wow am using mtn(Driodvpn premium)

oh okay. with that i get 250kb/s and that's at night

raynold: pleas need an app that makes downloading faster atleast by 50%.. tubemate download at 1,500kb/s sometimes but my Uc browser never pass 100kb/s when downloading movies.. please help #ASAP

that's odd. my UC browser gets download speed of upto 500kb/s. try loaderdroid

bigtt76: Been following with rapt attention. I must commend Lulosas but at the same time admonish him and other for making the 'cheat' stuff sometin like its a right to have. No that is wrong. I just saw the tweet ...telling the Glo guys you actually use it for Galaxy Phone ...like seriously? Are you trying to expose what they already know and get them sacked? You think they don't have boy and girl friends they share such with to woo them? In as much as its working on other phones doesn't make it your right. Abroad its called tethering and most providers charge you extra for such service or they block it out rightly. Come to think of it ....if Glo can prevent you putting more than one email account on some package, do you think it would be difficult for them to block BIS use on none BB fones? very simple to do and configure. All the need to do is programme their SIM card to read your phone's PIN and send to the system before you can be enabled.

Another instance is you think they are foolish, you subscribe to BIS 3G no traffic is going in or out of your email server profile on BB and BBM yet your traffic keeps getting consumed with high downloads through non-BB browsers? Haba.

To all those poking fun ...I say don't worry it shall be rectified. What happened was during that rain early monday morning, Glo's VPN connection to Blackberry Server and Internet Backbone were affected by the storm resulting in lack of 3G signals or 2G in some places. If truly they blocked the APN blackberry.net ....you will see the 3G sign on your device but it won't browse. But right now, we are not seeing it which means the 3G transmitters is down. it comes off and on.

It would be very difficult for the network to change the BB APN without recourse to Blackberry Engineers input. All mobile Networks connect to the central BB Server in the UK using their GPRS (If you check your Host Register on BB you will see it populated 620 GPRS bla bla ....) as the VPN mode. They can only block you tethering by preventing more than one MAC address per connection on their server. Changing the APN involves a lot of routing locally. Airtel succeeded because they first of all route all BB traffic through their local data network to their BB VPN server. so you first connect to their Data network before going to the BB network.

Anyway, lets keep our fingers crossed till weekend. Its being resolved in phase and most importantly let us desist from telling the Glo people openly what we are doing else they would nip it out. Though they are getting the money which is important, credibility of the BB service in Nigeria can be compromised using this cheap way of providing BB service to end users thereby resulting in RIM disconnecting them all.

One love guys. Please don't try to question my source or expertise on all this ....ok? Pls.

this girl knows her stuff.
marry me. .

Wilfem: No one seems to respond to this request of mine. Is there a way of tethering the internet connection from an Android device while connected with DroidVPN?

sorry for the delay. install open garden from the play store, start up droidvpn then start up open garden. works like the default hotspot of the phone

okay. thanks for the reply. here's another question. does anyone know the voltage output of an ipad battery? I have changed the battery of my tablet before and considering how long an iPad last, was wondering if I could replace the Android tablet battery with an iPad battery.
