So, for the past two years I've been using my iPhone 3GS with Speakout. Surprisingly a lot of the apps I used worked and for my needs perfect. Apps like Facebook, Twitter, Kijiji, Weather Network, Calendar and a few other Forum type apps.
My iPhone finally died so I picked up an Android Samsung Infuse 4G. I popped in the sim card, set the data settings and away it went. I downloaded a lot of the same apps that I had on my iPhone (like the ones listed above), only to discover they don't work.
Here is what I've discovered to be working on the data side of things. My email via Microsoft exchange and the Internet Browser. That's about it.
I see that if you "Root" your phone, you may get a few more apps to work.
So I was wondering if people running Android could put a list of Apps that work running stock as well as running "Rooted".
Thanks for your time.

rooted(with autoproxy): almost all except VOIP style and/or chat. an exception seems to be skype which works
rooted(with vpn): everything
non-rooted: nothing but browser/exchange email or application that knows about http proxy(google play seems to work).
i read that ICS is supposed to make much more apps working as it has a programming framework that is similar to iOS so the app doesn't need to deal with proxy.

Sorry for my arrogance, but what is VPN?

Arrogance is saying if you do not know what a VPN is,you probably should not play with one!
In an attempt to cure your ignorance on the subject, A VPN is a virtual private network. In this case, a VPN allows for certain types of traffic that Rogers blocks to freely flow though the Rogers network. That is the theory anyway. In reality, it is more trouble than it is worth.

for certain people, it is more trouble.
for those who know what is going on, it is not CERTAIN traffic but ALL traffic, at the expense of battery life and latency.
and it is not a theory but proven.
whether it worths it is a personal assessment.
