  1. funny loop indeed you guys are great I'll fix it somehow when the time comes...
  2. Did some research in persian mobile forums, and apparently the market does not work in iran due to the same stuff.

    Anyone...tho Drew might be more pro in these stuff...I know ways to go to internet pages anonymously, or in ways to make the website think I'm connecting from another company. But is there a way to make my whole connection like that?
    I mean somehow make the internet connection being put on the Wi-Fi be with some other ip, even temporarily, so that for example when I connect with the Hero and try to access Market, it thinks I am connecting from some other country.
    I do that on the PC and when browsing the internet, by installing software that do that. But obviously I can't install that software on the Hero, that's why I want the connection to be like that, what's on the Wi-Fi to be like that. Any ideas? Is it possible?
  3. Dont know if it is possible, but setting a proxy on the phone may work. If that doesnt work a VPN connection possibly will. But I dont know if that is possible on Android.

    Another possibility is creating an wireless ad-hoc network on your pc, set the proxy there and connect with the phone to the created adhoc network.

    All this is theory Gerard may know more about how to configure the phone to do this.

    Umm...the stuff you said are what I had in mind, tho I have only heard names, have no idea what they are and how they are done. I guess the phone can just connect to the Wi-Fi connection available here, nothing else. I'll have to change the wi-fi to be like that. That is, somehow get the connection from the router to my pc, do some magic in there to change the ip and whatever else is necessary, and send the new different-ip connection on the wireless antenna! ....help!!!
  5. Im sure it is possible to bypass the 'firewall' And the thing i just explained probably needs some tweaking, but if the android can connect to VPN networks or use proxies than it will be a lot easier

    It probably can, but the question is: does it work out of the box ?
  6. Guys, I know I've taken over this topic with my whole "new mobile" process...it's just that things are always very confusing here in Iran, as you can see I have to consider many more factors when getting a new phone and it can be really confusing at times. I'm sorry!
    Alright, I just needed to say that, cause I feel guilty having had the last few pages about helping me!

    I did some more research in Persian forums, and they have a solution for the apps thing which is what I said before, a new way for installing the file manager, and from there, you just copy whatever new app you want to the card and open it with the file manager.

    But my question still stands, because not all Android apps are available online outside the market...the changing ip thing...any help would be appreciated.
  7. No worries, we are all here to help I am also about to buy a new smartphone and its interesting to here about Android
  8. Does anyone know how to burn a .rmvb to DVD? I've never heard of the format.


  9. It's something related to Real player I think...VLC plays it with no problems. I guess you have already searched google for it...I did a little search and came up with this:

    which didn't load, but the google cache seems to work. check it out:

  10. Ordered the N900 today

    If my calculations are correct it will be 600 euro's spread over 2 years, including minutes/sms/internet. Internet is a bit slow (cheapest subscription) but can always change that. Not bad if i say so myself.

    I hope i get it this week, ordered from the one and only shop in Holland who supposed to have that damn thing on stock. All other shops have waiting lists of a month or more

    I'd have held off for something running Maemo 6


  12. Yeah well, I can keep waiting My current subscription expired so i was paying to much last months. Was either a sim only or a new phone.

    And in this case the N900 was pretty doable And if the next Maemo phone is launched like the N900 it wont be available to this day next year There are literately queues of more than a month for the phone. And I can go and pick it this next week Even better, if the info is correct I will receive it by mail on tuesday

    My only alternatives atm would be the HD2 (same price no internal storage, big disadvantage) or the to be released Android variant of that one.

    I just hope i dont have any stuck/dead pixels

    By the way: Did you buy the Z-5500? I must say the sub got a lot better since my first listen. Maybe I am getting used to the thing or it needed some hours of playback to get the sound balanced out. They do quite well for me
