Is there an apk or other mod out there that adds genuine USB tethering to the Vibrant on JI6? The myTouch3G just got a 2.2 update that adds an option to tether under "Wireless and Network Settings".
I don't want apps, and I don't want paid programs running, I just want a native USB tethering solution. None of this Wifi bs either, I need a desktop PC online, NOT my laptop.
Thanks

Eugenes key mapped froyo has native USB Tethering but that rom kills battery life like crazy .
You can do USB tethering through Dial Up Networking. Install the Samsung drivers, enable USB debugging on the phone, then create a DUN connection in Windows. You have to add this string into the initialization settings of the modem:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"

I was using that on JFD, but it's broken now on JI6. On JI6, it just breaks the data connection and I have to power-cycle my Vibrant to get it back.

Or buy Cradlepoint CTR-500 (make sure the latest firmware installed) and tether right away.

As I mentioned in my OP, I didn't want to have a program running on the desktop.
There are threads in general for doing it. The computer sees it as a dialup connection. I didn't even have to install drivers on osx or linux. Windows needs the drivers, but no apps.

What do you mean wifi? Is that the one that would connect desktop PC to wifi router?
What app your using for that? MobileAP doesn't let me us the wifi.
Or you could just flash eugenes jpm froyo port. Its super nice even if it is a battery hog.

Hi ttabbal, what did you do to get it running in linux. I thought one would just enable debugging, plug it in and automatically tethering begins.
Could you explain a lil further.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I was doing that on JFD (shipping firmware) but it's broken on JI2/4/6. Querying the modem gives back a "Success" reply, but trying to initialize it fails - it also kills the data radio on the phone till you reboot the phone, too.
Dial-up networking still works on mine, and I'm on the latest OTA, JI6. I'm using it to tether to my XP computer via a usb cable.
Step 1 - install Samsung drivers (instructions abound, run a search)
Step 2 - set to USB Debugging Mode
Step 3 - Plug in phone (wait for all drivers to install, now that the phone is plugged in;
Step 4 - In Windows XP, go to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections
Step 5 - Select Create a New connection from the menu on the left
Step 6 - Select, Next, Next, 'Setup my connection manually,' Next,
Step 7 - check only the box next to Samsung Android USB Modem, Next, name it whatever you like
Step 8 - Enter '*99#'
Step 9 - Next
Step 10 - Populate username as 'wap' and password with 'password'
Step 11 - uncheck the bottom checkbox
Step 12 - Next and/or Finish
Step 13 - Close the pop-up window that comes up.
Step 14 - Return to Control Panel
Step 15 - Double-click 'Phone and Modem Options'
Step 16 - Select the 'Modems' tab
Step 17 - Select the Samsung Android USB Modem that you selected in Step 7
Step 18 - Click 'Properties,' click the 'Modem' tab,
Step 19 - In the Maximum Port speed area, the highest speed, probably, 921600
Step 20 - Selet the 'Advanced' tab, and paste the below in the blank:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"
Step 21 - Click ok, ok, all the way out.
Return to Network Connections in Control Panel, and find in the list, the name of the connection you created. It will be the name you gave it in step 7.
Double click that connection, of course with the phone plugged in, and select 'Connect.' You should be all set.
I just followed these steps, as I was typing them, to create new connection, and it worked.
Also, you can right-click the connection in Network Connections, and select 'Create Shortcut,' to have a shortcut to the connection, placed on your desktop.
I am on a windows 7 device. Step number 20 doesn't work for me. Under Advance tab I cannot input anything. Please help.

I'm using Ubuntu, and they provide a nice little config app for the network connections. I just told it I wanted a dial up connection, it detected my phone attached and even had good defaults for TMobile. When I want it, I click the little status bar icon and select the cell connection. It does the rest.

I am considering purchasing the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. I need the ability to connect a wireless device to my laptop while I travel. Can I connect the T-Mobile pocket pc phone to my laptop? If so, do I need a cable for that or can I do it via IR?
Thanks,

Wireless modem on XDA is serial cable or irda. Be sure to disable activesync before and connect your phone to laptop before pushing the "start", button.
So will W2K automatically detect it as a modem?
Well, actually not really. Regarding the infra red connection, I had to install first a virtual infra red port (http://www.cyber-mill.com/irdaw2k.zip), and then install on it the standard 33.6 Modem.
If you want, I can post how to do this, step by step, and it works.

select from standard modem types: standard 33600bps
click next. install on selected port (com5 in this example)
after end of installation, click on properties for the modem
on tab Modem, confirm maximum speed 115200
on advanced, extra initialization type: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","xxx","",0,0
where xxx is the access point name of your network provider
select change default preferences
change flow control to none
clik OK to finish
Step two: setup the network
In control panel/network connections/ select file/new connection
select connect the internet, then manual setup
choose connect using modem. confirm the standard 33600bps
Give a name to the ISP
Choose: *99# as phone number.
write your username and password

Step three: using XDA
Make sure activesync is disabled
Once connected through serial port or facing IR
Open wireless modem. choose connection (serial or IR)

Start dial-up from PC
ps: during this time, GSM phone line is disconnected
It reconnects automatically after disconnecting the modem

for two days I finally got my bluetooth-activesync to work, which just wouldn't want to work in the past. remove the bluetooth dongle, search google for a howto about how to make old devices visible inside the windows device manager, remove everything bluetooth related, com ports, the devices and the network related stuff. then reinstall the bluetooth dongle, let windows install all the driver . when this is finished you can follow the procedure described in the activesync helpfile about how to create an outgoing com port etc.
you should be just fine, as I said I could never make it work until I cleared out all the junk that windows likes to collect and carefully hides from you ;-) thats windows folks.
hope this will work for you,too.
thanks for the message, but i cant find the article on google..im using a built in bluetooth btw.....can u PM me with the directions ? really appreciate it if u can help...

I already turn on the MTP but still doesnt work.
Maybe is a driver problem?? Can anyone give me some help??
Have you tried uninstalling the Palm Drivers from your Control Panel => Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features (Win 7) ?
You wanna remove anything that says PALM or novacom from those lists, then reinstall them. Personally, I use the WebOS QuickInstall to get the drivers installed properly, but that's just me.
Hey all.
I have just installed this fine ROM.
But now it wont charge when it is plugged in the pc. Fine in the Samsung charger.
And how do i clean up my galaxy tab i have alot of crap on it but now i cant see the files in windows on galaxy tab? I can with clockworkmod.
And how do i disable USB debugging ?
Regards Daniel and thanks
Go to Settings>Developer Options>Untick USB Debugging, Then connect your tab to your PC, then go to Settings>Storage>There should be a box in the upper-right corner saying "USB Connection", if not find it. Tap it then tick the option that says MTP Intialisation or something like that.

Usb charging is turned off for some security reasons, but you can force it to in ADB or terminalnemulator
I think it was something like :
Open terminal emulator
- type 'su'
- Then type, “echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging”.
And this should do the job. Not 100% sure though
trouble charging throught usb

Hello all
I got a new Samsung S6 from work. for security reason, I cannot root the device (entrust and other software will not install)
since I got it, I am very annoyed by the fact that every time I connect the phone to my Linux, I have the following message when I want to access the files by MTP
allow access to device media
a MTP connection will be established to access the Data on the connected device : DENY ALLOW

is there a way to remember which connection was allowed or to remove once and for all this annoying message ?
thx

Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
When you connect your phone to your pc, do you get any message in the status bar like "USB used for charging"? If not, go into setting (while connected) and click storage and USB and select MTP.
Hope that helped and hit "thanks" if it did .
thank you for your reply
my problem is not that I cannot connect. I have all the settings correctly done (or so it seems) and I have selected MTP. the issue is that the question to authorize the connection will pop up every time.
the device does not remember the previous authorisations.
example, if i connect to my Linux, then run a virtualbox windows, I have to redirect the USB to the virtualbox, but because it does not remember the authorization, it will disconnect and ask again if I agree, then I will have to redirect to virtualbox as it is seen as a new connection everytime. this in circle
also, I connect and disconnect the device from the USb all the time, everytime, I have to re-authorize the connection, it is getting old
Hi, without root, there is currently no way to automatically authorize a device (kinda stupid really) however with root there are a few ways to do it.
