I am working on a Android application which can only run on a 3G network but We currently do not have a 3G network available in the country. Is there any way to hack/modify some parts of Android's connectivity Manager or other framework components to simulate the behavior that we are using 3G n/w but underlying the requests are being processed through Wifi? Has anyone tried anything like this? and If at all it can be done, How can it be acheived?
A:
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/ This tool may be of help. You would need to look at the source, see how it works and recreate for android.
I don't know of any android apps which do this.

You might find it simpler to run the dummynet tool on the server side or on a machine bridging wifi to lan rather than the phone side.

Good idea... This would mitigate the need to refactor for Android.
