Does anyone know how to get the Wireless Tether to work? I have it installed, but it says unable to start tether, please try again. Is there a version of wireless tether that works better?
Thanks
Wireless tether needs root, did you root your phone?
Mine is rooted and I can't get 2.0.2 to work.
I can get the app to launch and setup, but my computer doesn't see it.
Install barnacle from market.
I have root. Barnacle doesn't stay open
I'm using wireless tether 2.0.5-pre1 sne its still not working.
Barnacle doesn't work on my rooted phone

I installed Barnacle and was able to tether to my iPad. I didn't play with it for very long but I was able to open Google, do a search, and open the resulting site. I can only get Edge in my house but it seemed quick enough to surf around a little. I will give it a try on 3G tomorrow.
I have done some more playing around and I am going to rate Barnacle a big winner.
I just cranked it up on the Vibrant and connected a laptop (Windows 7), an iPad, and an iTouch to it, all at once. All three devices connected easily, then I was able to open web pages on all three at the same time (albeit slowly due to being on edge). Barnacle never skipped a beat so I think that's as much of a test as I need to see.

A lot of people are reporting that Barnacle causes problems with their 3G connection on the Vibrant.
Barnacle FTW
Barnacle works on my vibrant was able to run slingplayer on my IPOD touch. Thanks so much.
If you have bluetooth I'd just use that with PDAnet. Install, link and use, couldn't be simpler.

Barnacle is giving me probs on mine saying cant bind dhcp and it can load wap
any suggestions?
Barnacle was working but NOT with 3G. There is an update available as of today and now it doesn't work at all on my Vibrant. At least we know that someone is working on it.

I may get flamed for asking this but I'm going to any way. Is it possible to tether an Ipod Touch to an Eris through bluetooth in order to share the 3g internet connection? I haven't used my Touch much at all since ive had the eris...just thought it would be convenient when wi fi isn't available.

Well, if you're not leaked then just root the phone and open wifi tether. Start the tether and then just connect the ipod touch to the access point that the phone creates.
Yeah, it should work perfect. The phone creates the Ad-Hoc network and bam, you're online.
Off note, I know for a fact that until Sony gets their heads out of their butt, the Wifi Tether won't work for the PSP (The PSP is too good for ad-hoc networks apparently).
Yep, I got it working. If you're rooted use the wireless tether app to connect through wifi. Create an SSID and PW and you're good. Still can't figure out bluetooth, but wifi works just fine for me. I only use my Touch for the games, which as of now is really the only thing Android is lacking IMHO.

Man you got that right. Too bad developers aren't able to tap into Android's true power (seems to be a software limitation, yay Google! lol...)

really? Android is the most open and I think most varied and powerful smartphone OS available ay the moment. Google is giving it away, I hardly think its limited in software in any way.

Just wondering if its possible to take your droid phone and tether it to the Gtab like you can with a laptop in order to get online.
You need to download the drver for the pc to get something like pdanet to work, so not sure about this

Sure. For Android phone, tons of apps on Google market can let it become Wifi hot spot. Then your gtab can pickup wifi signal to connect to internet. You can check <G Tablet Themes and Apps> section on xda-developers.com.

If you search this forum for wifi tethering, you will find a lot of information on different ways to accomplish this. A little reading goes far here, redundant posts do not. You can find Search field on the top right...
Did search, didnt really find a useful answer.
I have pdanet on droid x2 and am able to connect laptop to internet.
I tried connecting phone and tablet with bluetooth and no luck.
Since I dont have a micro usb to mini usb cable to connect the two to try that im asking if it works. Only cable like that I found was on ebay from hong kong
You will need to do WiFi tethering, not bluetooth or USB.
It seems to do WiFi tethering, if you don't have native phone support you have to root and use one of the apps that provide ad hoc support. I have read all the bluetooth stuff and no one seems to get it working.
Wireless Tether and Barnacle Wireless Tether
I used both of these apps on my rooted Droid X to create wi-fi hotspots and connect my gTabs to them without having to do anything special. I've used VEGAn 5.1.1 and VEGAn Ginger as well as the CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (Stable release) and it's worked with all of them.
Confirmed working on stock rooted Photon. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk&can=2&q=

When I tried it I could only get Ad-hoc connections. My ROM on my Transformer didn't support Ad-hoc so I couldn't complete my test.
yes it doesnt work yet it only does ad/hoc and isnt good
All of the wireless tether for root users are ad-hoc. Only the built in tether from Froyo and later are infrastructure.

That's incorrect. Both my gf and a friend are on an Evo 4G with wireless tether for root, on Sense, and have infrastructure wireless tethering.
Well I apologize. If you are still stuck with an original Evo 4g then it supports it... http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...otspot-infrastructure-capabilities-on-evo-4g/

Not Really, unless Jun 10, 2010 (Over a year ago is recent) From what I understand it it the Moto Drivers that they can't seem to figure out infastructure mode. Tonight my buddy and I have a plan to see if we can get infastructure mode to work. If it does I post the trick.
Well My first Idea didn't work, But has anyone looked at porting this method over to the Photon, Looks like if you had the right tools u should be able to update the directories to work with the Photon. I might be wrong, sometime I wish i had more time to dig in and teach my self more advanced Android programing.

My bad, thought it said 2011. I'm glad I'm not the only smartass in the Photon forum. Just get defensive sometimes ..

No access control either
This version also reports that the Photon kernel doesn't have what's necessary for access control, so that will have to wait until custom kernels flow in from the geniuses (of which I am not one!).
I also have been unable to connect when any kind of WiFi encryption is selected; only way I can connect with my Mac (which is the only way I can test) is to disable encryption.
Our power went out, so along with no router, there was no cable. I knew from this thread that the newest Wifi Tether wouldn't work but I downloaded it and tried it anyway. No joy.
Next up, I grabbed Barnacle Tether. It's got only WEP encryption but I was up and running and was able to stream an entire move from Amazon's video streaming without a hitch. So, that works! Give it a shot...

I had no luck with Barnacle - any settings that need to be tweaked to make it work? WEP is better than nothing!

I streamed Limitless to my Dell XPS m1330. My wife and I had forgotten we were even doing it - there was absolutely no stutter and no re-buffering. When the movie was over I remembered and was really impressed.
I don't know much about the settings, ad-hoc vs infrastucture, etc. All I know is that the wifi tether did not work for me. As others said it looks like it is transmitting but I can never find the SSID. Barnacle fired up and worked right away - no tweaks needed on my laptop.
edit: We just knew with no house internet access and no cable we could and wanted to watch a movie with my phone. I was originally going to buy it on the Android market and connect the HDMI from the phone to the TV but I don't have the mini-HDMI cable. Also, my TV is older so no DLNA. Only other option was the use the hotspot so my laptop could access the web and stream. BTW, when I accidentally clicked on the wrong window (I had the Android Marketplace Movies window open, also) it said that the movie streaming from Youtube was not set up or allowed for my country. That was wierd - the only thing I could think of was some IP address thing due to my using the wireless tether from Barnacle.

I don't think so. I just changed the stock SSID (to "MoPho", lol) and set up a WEP password of my own, 5 characters. Clicked START and it was up and running.
Is there free wired tethering available for this phone?
is there a free supported app?
The computer im using doesn't have a wireless network card( it's an old computer).
and im wondering if there is a way i can get my phone to be its internet until i get a card.
I want to turn it into a FTP server.
Any help that helps, THANKS
Relative to the wireless part. I have a couple of these that I got just for this type of purpose.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY
Cheap, FAST and very handy to have around in the case someone brings over a computer without wireless access.
As for using your phone for the internet, that works good for browsing etc... but you will have a hard time getting your phone to provide services like service (FTP) since the IP is NAT'd....

The phone will definitely not be a permanent fix. I'll still want to use the phone haha, i just want to set it up and see how it goes first.
the router isn't that far away, but it's a floor above so it will be going through at least 1 wall...
and thanks ill look into that

Edit: that links app does NOT work for the leaked ics kernel
I thought you could just plug the phone into the usb and select internet???
No verizon made a fee, id rather go though our guy's for wired tether you know, i just need to get a little usb wireless dongle thing then i guess

Glad to hear PDAnet works. I tried the Wired Tether on the Google Projects page with no luck on CleanROM 1.7.5 or CleanROM 4.2.2.
Seems to be a kernel issue I think the one from Google will work when we get aosp or cm working. Maybe the ics official release will let it work on sense roms. The PDA net app works fine currently.
I use ClockWorkMod Tether. Love it.

So, I'm moving. And my PC doesn't have a WiFi card in it for the time being. Ethernet is out of the question.
I have an unlimited Verizon 4g plan... but I heard they don't let you tether for free anymore over their network with unlimited. (I can use WiFi root tether, but that's beside the point.)
I've tried using the Settings => Usb Tethering option, but stock sense doesn't let you tether without a 4g connection enabled.
Any ideas? (Preferably something without dumb limitations, like no https etc, but beggars can't be choosers.)
Thanks!

I use fox fi and with the pdanet application on the pc you can fake your image hiding your tethering, doing it the way the guy above states does not work on stock anymore normally and would certainty show your usage. on pdanet just use stage two usage hiding uh is hard to explain and I'm on my phone I'll update my post in like 10 minutes showing what I mean with pictures on my pc K.

on PDANET atm with LEVEL II usage hiding and i was able to get into things like paypal with https and what not. So i think it would be fine, i don't have unlimited anymore so i use no hiding but i turned it on to see if it works and it seemed to. Im posting this with it on level II.

Definitely works and will do the trick for now. Thanks man.
The free version kind of blows... I go through the allotted data in like a minute.
Do you notice pretty low speeds, or connection drops when the phone goes to sleep? Do you know if I need to keep it always screen on or something? Or is this the level 2 screening?
Wish there was a way to do this natively without having to do all this, but will work in a pinch. Thanks!
it works by using a advanced proxy type thing( its complicated) but i notice no difference with it on level 2 and none and witht he phone off i do have a fox fi key though since i use it for work a lot. with the free version i did notice it was slower but i had that version so long ago they had it where it was unlimited but only 180KB/s so it was slow regardless, this was a OG droid so long time ago. its still cheaper than getting hard line lol and an one time only payment, i used to have issues on windows 8 but their newest pdanet client for desktop fixed those. i get around 20mbps in the field generally when working.
hope this helps explain some things.

Thanks bud, yeah it helps. I'll probably end up buying it eventually... WiFi Tether [Root] works fine for WiFi, but for some reason FoxFi scares me. I feel verizon will strip my unlimited away from me while using FoxFi. Not sure why I feel safer using the WiFi root tether app though.
they should be able to tell your tethering with a normal non proxied app. In reality though they can allways tell if they cared but unless your use more than like 6 GB idk they would care if your plan is expensive enough lol.
Yeah, I wish there was another way than pdanet to do it. Wish there was a way to tell if the speeds are just my phone or the free pdanet version.
how low are the speeds on speedtest.net on pc vs on the app on the phone, mine are almost same.
I was.... "Testing" the download speeds through pdanet. Its about 1000Kbs slower through pdanet.
