Fake Wifi Connection does not work with some applications

Open aaferrari opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Hello Lemonsqueeze, some time ago I installed Fake Wifi Connection on an Android-x86 virtualized hoping to use the following applications:

  • ClipSync: As you to imagine, this only works over Wifi, but even if it seems strange, the application itself detects the ClipSync Server installed on my real machine but I can not connect to it due to what explained before. Turns out running the app again with the Fake Wifi Connection activated, it can not find the server. Do you have any idea why this happens and, if possible, if there is any way to fix it?
    A couple of months ago I reported this issue on application page but I have not much hope that will be resolved soon (ClipSync not been updated for more than two years).
    I also tried to decompile the application and disable/modify some checks that are performed when connecting to the server, but without success (it seems that have to add/tweak more code than I am able to modify).
  • Google Translator: It also need Wifi or any data connection to operate, but with or without Fake Wifi Connection enabled happens that:
    • When I try to translate something, it stays as one or two minutes trying to connect until "Failed to translate, without network" appears along with the option to try again.
    • When attempting to download any of the language packs to translate without connection, it stays in "Waiting Wi-Fi..." and nothing else happens.

For what it's worth, all applications are up to date (a few hours ago I updated Fake Wifi Connection and Google Translator, but the problems persist).

Thanks, i'll look into it. Aside from these two, do other apps (say, play store) work otherwise ?

Thanks for responding. So far I have not installed many applications on Android-x86 and the only ones that I could not use as it should are the mentioned above but if I find some that is not compatible with Fake Wifi Connection, then I'll let you know (maybe you should leave this issue open so that others can report similar problems with other applications).
