Has anyone been able to get VPN on their Vibrant to work, in particular HotSpot Shield or other free VPN? What were the steps?
Cheers.

Usb/ wifi tether apk

Does anyone have the stock usb/ wifi tether apk that comes with the stock 2.2 froyo upgrade for vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I believe its built into the settings.apk
I'm curious as to why you need it. If you're still running 2.1, I recommend upgrading to 2.2, it's been a daily driver for me since jk2. Or if you don't, there is a mod for mobile ap to allow for wifi tether, but not the usb internet sharing.

my 2.2 from team whiskey comes with mobile ap for wireless , and has a setting to share internet using usb also... if you dont want to update, download an app called pdanet
You can also use the Android Wifi tether app but you phone must be rooted.

I'm using Bionix-V but cannot find an app related to wifi and wireless tethering nor do I see any options under "Wireless and network." Consequently have been using PdaNet. Am I missing out on a simpler approach?
It's in settings -> wireless and network where it's always been.
Its called mobile ap

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I was looking under Settings|Wireless and network|tethering and also perhaps under applications! Couldn't find the darn thing anywhere! But now I see it under Settings|Wireless and network|Mobile AP. One of the great things about Android is all the flexibility. Unfortunately, it is also real easy to miss something!
Thanks again....

Best Tethering app?

Im rooted now im wondering whats the best app to get for tethering?
I want to usb tether and wifi teather ....any ideas?
thanx
use the google one
current stable release is 2.06 i think
I use Barnacle, nice and easy
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well if you are interested in tethering with a lapdock (as I am with unlimited) Barnacle works flawless after associating. The wifi tether required I change the network proxy to default before it passed validating. But I got it off the market so the beta pre 3.0 may work better. Market version also didn't allow some controls.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I use a combo of Barnacle + Mobile Hotspot.
What do you guys use for a wired tether?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I use PDAnet if I need to tether via USB. But I rarely have to.
There is also a wired tether app. I found it with a Google search. Its just like wireless tether except wired. I can't attach it from the app here but its out there.

YES. This.
dont mean to hijack, but when you go to enable tethering, do you guys get the att validating notification and says your account is not setup for hotspot? how do you get arround that? i already have the apn set per the other thread.
tried to install this app and received the dumb security code for:
"THIS APPLICATION COMES FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE AND FOR YOUR SECURITY ONLY APPLICATIONS FROM TRUSTED SOURCES CAN BE INSTALLED." WTH. =/
Tried to go into settings and can't find a way to bypass this.

Are you rooted and enabled third party apps? Have to be rooted to use wifi tether and need to enable third party apps when you root to be able to install the file
Hey thanks for replying, I've only been using android for about a few months now, used to be a windows mobile fan, dislike it. Switching over to this, not sure what exactly that is, am a techno dude, if there are some steps maybe you could guide me, appreciate it. thanks.

Might want to do a little reading on what all rooting is before you do it. But basically it gives you more control over the phone. Once rooted and allow third party apps you should be able to download wifi tether and install it.
Thanks for the article. completed, also followed the sticky for rooting on here. ATT=money maker company, can't believe we can't install non market apps right out of the box.

[Q] Internet pass-through (CM9)

Could someone tell me how to share my PC internet (to use internet pass-through) to my SGS 2 (CM9) via USB?
P.S. I would use WiFi, but my DSL Modem doesn't have one... :|
Won't work, get connectify and install on your computer/laptop, it should have wifi.
Connectify gives you multiple options to connect, avoid adhoc ones. Choose the last option.

Is it possible to share WiFi through PC without antenna on router?
P.S. My PC is 6-7y old :s

You should be rooted and have iptables for it to work.. Maybe something is missing there? Try searching for how to reverse tether you will find many guides with manual steps to take (via shell), my advice would be to go through them and see what's not working for you there and that would probably be the case the app is failing.
Good luck!

VPN Cisco app -- any suggestion ?

I would like to know if you have experience with VPN Cisco with IPSec Shared key. I tried few of them but none of them seem to work. I have the configuration correct and tried with my Ipad VPN with no issues. I greatly appreciate your help.

Mobile Hotspot Tether working?

How can I get tethering to function on a rooted Tmo One?
Go grab wireless tether from the Google Play Store. If you're rooted that should work.

I've tried foxfi but it fires up the Mobile Hotshot app from the tmo stock rom. Then only the tmo hotshot active is discoverable.

Vpn shield is an app in market
It's used to block T-Mobile from seeing any tether being pulled from carriers data .
It's essentially used with trevemod.
If you don't start Vpn shield before tethering eventually tmobile will catch on and block it.
Really it's good for people on any data especially unlimited . Allows you to tether as much as you want with out detection.

Don't see a "VPN shield" in app store, also what settings are you using in trevemod? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I switch back and forth with my nexus 4 to use tethering...What is the Nexus 4 seeing that the HTC One does not?
I got tethering to work!
First unlock and root.
Second, flash a kernel if you want to stay stock (which I prefer). I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2255900
or
Flash a custom rom
Finally, install this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
Change device-profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0).
That's it! You should be good to go.
