this is very unacceptable,have you tethering before?what is the result
the provider is good,my friend can get more than 100kb/s using old phone as modem
Try to connect internet via dialup connection
With this you can also access your sd card with active internet connection

I am still learning android...
I want to use tethering on my carrier in Venezuela, but when i try to enable hotspot it says i'm now allowed should call at&t and such... I know tethering and hotspot isn't the same, but i want to do the following:
-Enable personal hotspot on the phone to allow my laptop to connect to it and get connection (if somehow my home adsl connection drops and my phone is ok)
-Enable tethering over usb, so the battery doesn't suffer while being connected
I had to add my APN manually, a friend with the motorola milestone told me the apn name and settings and apn type is set on: default,dun
What are the possible values for this setting? I know from the tethering mod that it could be: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether. By the way we don't have tethering plans down here, do i still need this tethering mod? Because i haven't installed it.
would appreciate any input from you guys. I have searched google and there doesn't seem to be much info about apn types

For WIFI tethering, have your phone rooted and to where you can side load, and try this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or this http://www.mediafire.com/?yzerk3nglqof1kk
(Not sure if the'll work because they didn't for me, but they did for other Atrix users)
And for USB tethering, thats easy, and for sure works. Try either Easy Tether (my favorite) : http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/android.html
Or PdaNet: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I managed to get this to work. I basically turned on hot spot then it loads up ands says connecting or something similar. Now put phone in flight mode. Then take out of flight mode. It should now connect. Worked for me. Im in the uk on hutchinson3.

Hi,
I have got a new MTNL 3G connection (I am from India), and am trying to use the USB Tether option to browse and download from the internet. However, when I leave my phone / computer to idle, the connection drops. I was earlier on Froyo (2.2) and am now on CM 7 version 6.5.5.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?
I have tried keeping the screen awake, screen timeout options etc. Have tried PDAnet and Auto USB Tether too.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

try settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>hit the menu button and choose advanced>wi-fi sleep policy>never
before i did this myself my wifi kept turning itself off whenever the screen turns off. im not sure if this will work for mobile data but it wont hurt to give it a try
U can try to connect the internet via dialup connection. I had this problem too.
N u can also access ur sd card with internet connection on which is not possible with usb tethering

I am using USB tether and not wifi. Dial up will not give me 3G speeds, and I am on cyanogen CM7, so don't know if dial up is possible. Net seems to be working fine right now. Maybe it's an area specific problem. But would want to know if anyone has figured out a solution.
Thanks

I had this issue on Airtel 3G and CM7. It is fully fixed in the GB roms based on stock.
Yes dialup will give u 3g speed bt dnt knw it works wid cm7 or not bt i guess it should just check dat if ur system is detecting ur phones modem den it will surely works.

hi...i usually connect my lg optimus 2x to PC with USB and use computer's internet connection (reverse USB teethering). but i want to know if its possible to force telephone that it thinks that it is connected to wi-fi, while using 3g data connection. i want use that especially when games want to download data over the wifi...
If your device is rooted, you could get a wireless hotspot app from the market, start the hotspot on your phone, then connect to it (connect your device to itself ).
I don't think you can connect to your own hotspot.

tried but its not working..i think that androids dont support wifi multitasking like iphones do,so they cant receiving and teethering connection at the same time..

iphone doesnt support wifi tether lol...
you can just grad a wifi hotspot phone and load your sim in. share the network to your device and enjoy...
it is quite annoying when it doesnt let me use my data for gameloft game data download too.

Actually you can. I've said that before to other people who wanted to download gameloft data and for some other purposes which require wifi, and it worked.
I want to do this too.... but the Mobile Hotspot app on my phone turns off WiFi if it is one, and if I turn on Wifi while Mobile Hotpsot is on, it disables the Hotspot.
Any other solution ? An app maybe ? A tweak ?
what wifi hotspot app was used?.. and to the OP, how did you reverse tether via usb?

You can use this to reverse tether: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345.
On my desire you can have activated only wirelles or only hotspot, i think the same wirelles adapter is used for it, so it wouldnt be possible.

How? I've been searching for a workaround to this for some time now.
Please tell me how...
I have a rooted Bionic, Eclipse ICS 4.0.4. I use FoxFi Full version for my hotspot. I need my phone to connect to the mobile hotspot it's currently transmitting. (I think that's what I need)
Why? I want an advanced ability to monitor who is using my mobile hotspot, using DroidSheep to monitor what they're using the connection for. Trouble is, DroidSheep (And al similar programs) only work if the phone (with the app) is actually connected to the wifi network. It won't work if it's the one transmitting the signal.

You just have one wifi Modul it can be a hot spot or it can be connected to a Router.
Both together isn't possible.
Else you could also use it as wifi repeater
Tapatalked with my JellyBean powered HTC Desire
ROM : VillainROM 3.0.0
Kernel : Ninphetamine 2.0.5
-----
After applying the fix for Hotspot settings to save in another thread (chown and chmod the /data/misc/wifi) I tried to turn on the hotspot, after all, this was inevitably what I got the phone for, H+ Hotspot.
Now I turn it on and the network appears in my computer, but if I try and connect to it, after I type in the security key, it comes up with "Connecting" and just stays like that permanently...
Eventually it sometimes says "Limited Access".
My phone does have internet connection, but why does it not work.
Does your network allow tethering?
Did it work on another rom?
Have you tried a hard reset?
I'm using tethering on VR but with speedmod kernel with no issues.

Orange in the UK for example use and APN on their SGS2 roms that doesn't allow tethering (you can set up a tethering connection no problem, but the network won't let you have any data).
They also lock the APN down so it isn't editable (insert rude word about Orange)!
You can get round the problem by adding another generic APN for all connections and using that.
i was having the same problem and struggled alll these days for solution. I used to get limited acesses and hence checked the ip4 & ip6 drivers connectivity for solution with no luck.
Then clicked on windows update, after update everything started working. So try to update your windows.
presently i am on turkbey ROM and it is working and also checked with sensation 1.9 and here tooo works!!!!!
Hey all, thanks for all your replies.
Network: 3
Plan: The One Plan +Tethering
Resolved: Yes.
For anyone else wondering how I fixed my problem:
1) Rebooted the phone
2) Rebooted my PC
3) Turned off the WiFi Adapter in my PC
4) Turned it Back On
5) Turned off WiFi on phone
6) Turned Hotspot on without any authentication
7) Worked on PC
8) Changed back to WPA2 PSK
9) Worked with Key.

I had wifi tethering working fine on Orange with SGS running Froyo 2.2.1, but have just upgraded my handset to SGS2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 (stock XWKI8 firmware), and wifi tethering isn't working now.
As far as I can see I have exactly the same APN settings in my new SGS2 as in the old SGS, but maybe I need to use this new trick.
What do you mean by "adding another generic APN for all connections and using that"? If I add a new APN, what settings do I put in?
Thanks.
Dear guys,
I am wonder if you guys can help me about Internet sharing from XPS to laptop via usb cable. Can I use the tethering function in setting or else?
Best regards

i never relied on inbuilt tether function. i always used this
its pretty easy to setup & no rooting is required. till now i used with almost every kind of android version & with tablets also.
Easiest method I've found is to set up a wifi hotspot with the phone and use that.. No cable required!

In option enable hot spot, connect your laptop wirelessly to phone and that is that.

Doesn't that suck battery like hell on both devices?
You can use the wifi tether to share the connection. It is really easy to set up and no cable is required.The drawback is that it causes heavy battery drain. USB tether is also working fine. You will need cable to do it but this way you can even charge your battery while browsing. See what works better for you and use it.
My network prohibits tethering, but branded .62 has the feature inbuilt. So the question is, can they detect it?
You might want to consider the huawei e586 wifi hotspot. It can support 5 devices on wifi. Just add your 3g data sim card.
i have the concept of wifi hotspot (sharing the mobile data via WiFi), but it is different from tethering. The only way to get WiFi tether is to use apps that require root access?
Thanks!

i am on vodafone italy,
for the "normal" internet usage from the smartphone i use this APN: mobile.vodafone.it
for the tethering i should use this APN: web.vodafone.it
using the smartphone as hotspot wi-fi it not goes to "web.vodafone.it" but through "mobile.vodafone.it" only sharing the smartphone’s normal network
i notice this since with mobile.vodafone.it i pay 0,30€/100mb
with web.vodafone.it i pay 1€/500mb
yesterday i used my Xperia S as hotspot wi-fi and after the 100mb of usage i received an sms from vodafone telling me i used all my data.
Maybe this is only an italian thing or italian-vodafone-thing
