So, I love blitz brigade, but you can only play on wifi. I have tried the text file, bit it doesn't allow for online play. Anyone know of a way to force it, or a way to tweak the app to allow play over 4g? Thanks

I a, bumping this because I refuse to believe that there isn't a way to fake apps into believing they are on wifi.

There are a few ways I saw years ago when doing a Google search for the exact same thing but I'll be damned if I can remember them, maybe you should try a Google search if you haven't already cause that's how I found it years ago.

Yeah, my Google fu is strong. One method was using wifi tether, and the other is a text file you place on the root of sd card. I have tried everything u found in Google. Game loft sucjs because I have unlimited data, I just can't play the game I want.:banghead:

I'm with you, effing Game Loft. I boycotted them quite some time ago. I use to try a lot of their games on my nook tablet. So many Damn issues with their ish. What's even better than their games, their awesome "support" team.

It's crazy that this app doesn't exist but maybe it's not possible with android. I had an app called 3g unrestrictor in my old iPhone cydia days. I just tried using an xfinity play app to watch videos and it only works over wifi. Absurd. Here's to hoping someone develops this.

And hopefully someone creates an app that will trick apps into thinking there is no internet connection. My modded asphalt 8 doesnt work unless I put my phone on airplane mode and/or turn off wifi and 4g.

If you're rooted, then DroidWall will do the trick.

I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about.
But when I was on t mo unlimited I use to carry a mobile
Hot spot that I got for 15 dollars on eBay and I would put my sim in it when I encountered this problem. You could probably use another phone with WiFi the same way.

It would be a little complex to swap WiFi and network connections.
