I tried every combination possible for the webtop hack, I can get in webtop mode no problem, phone is working message everything. except the webtop applications
app4webtop firefox facebook. File manager works. Anybody have this problem? Running on Bell Atrix 2.3.4
I had the same issue until I did the mobile hotspot hack and it worked. Just need to turn hotspot on and then you should be all set. For some reason webtop wont connect via cell signal.

I don't know if this is the right section or not. Its a question so I assume this is right.
I have a droid eris flashed to cricket with eris lightning 3.02, running fw ver. 2.1. Everything works except after I start wireless tethering, the market always says there is a network problem try again. The only way to fix it is to restart my phone.
The market works before I start the tethering, tethering works fine. Even after killing the tethering app everything else still works, other apps can connect fine, it is only the market.
I have been looking around but cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. Its not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance I want to get fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks!
Have you tried Google Talk after running tether? May not be related to your problem, I just know there is a dependency.
Hi,
I have a rooted Aria running CM7 and having an issue using it as a wifi hotspot to a windows 7 lap top.
I can connect to the Aria but can't get internet access (and yes data is on).
I have no probs connecting and getting access with a nook color.
Any hints/help much appreciated.
Cheers,
have you tried using an app like OpenGarden? It requires root access, but works like a charm.
I've haven't been able to use WiFi tethering using CM7 built in functions.
Thanks, will give it a go
edit - that did the trick, nice neat app too.
Thanks again
I thought these phones natively support USB tethering. Can anyone comment on their experience with it?
My RAZR Maxx is on order, and I'll test it when I get it.
USB tether is supported on my GSM XT910. No idea about the CDMA Razr Maxx.
I have the app on my cdma verizon phone but havent used it yet.
Works well on my GSM XT910, (SEAOP) stock.
Ummm how do you use it?
plug it in and there's a menu or something?
Plugin the phone
Menu - Settings - wireless & Network. - Tethering & Hotspot - USB Tethering
The network will appears if needed drivers are installed.

And then the computer uses the internet conection of the razr.. but the other way round seems to be only possible with a lot of working around. Isn't that really possible without software and stuff?
I use PDAnet on my phone all the time. It's very easy to use and you don't have to be rooted to use it either. Also try Easy Tether.

The point is that USB tether is included, so why use an app?
I think Verizon cdma makes u pay for tethering
Pdanet works good...i paid for it back in the day...then some super cool devs starting making it work for free...yay....no more apps

Anyone knows how to do reverse tethering?

I'd need reverse tethering too. I'd need a solution without wifi but cable and without installing software on the pc connected (cause at work I have no permission to do that) and without root. Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone,
First of all, I DID search on the forums for this same issue and I didn't find any solution.
So here is my problem:
I have an Atrix w/ 4.5.91 stock ROM (unlocked/rooted). Modified settings.db so Entitlement Check is set to 0. My carrier is Personal Argentina.
I can enable wifi and usb tethering but none of those would work. I get "no internet connectivity" on my Windows 7 computer with both of them, no matter what I do. BUT if I use a third-party app like EasyTether, it works like a charm.
I usually don't like installing 3rdparty apps/drivers on my work laptop, so my question is: Is there any way of troubleshoot this issue / did this happen to anyone? Is there anything I can change to make it work?
Thank you a lot!

Try android tether. Nothing to install on laptop. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. Only problem I found on hubby's new epic 4g touch is after turning it off, wifi wont work again which is solved by a reboot.

Thank you. I'll check it out but sitll USB would be a great option whenever I have to save battery.
Apart from that I'd really like to know why the native apps for tethering are not working. Maybe they use a different method?
Try setting the entitlement check to "disabled" with no quotes. That's how mine worked..

Please state what ROM your are on.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
If your phone doesn't already include the option to tether in your settings, download the app from the link above. Once downloaded you're pretty much good to go from there... Sorry for not elaborating more, but I'm typing this on my phone... When I get to a PC in the morning I'll type up something more formal/informal.
Quick question for reference, what rom are you using?
My vibrant has a euphoria.. I thought T-Mobile block tethering...

They blocked tethering through user agent sniffing . Chrome seems to be the only user agent being blocked at the moment . If you use internet explore it will work or you could use "user agent switcher" extension for chrome .

Really? Because I just typed up this post on my PC in Google Chrome (without the "user agent switcher" extension) and I am currently tethered to my Vibrant. I've also tested Internet Explorer, which also works while tethered to my Vibrant... I'm using the app I mentioned above, although the built in wireless tether feature also works for me. Then again, I am using a custom rom, so that could explain why it works for me. Anywho... landrian18, you want to know how to get tether on your device? OK, I'll show you how to do it both on an ICS rom and with the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" app.
On an ICS rom:
Note- I'm not positive this is the same method you would use on euphoria as I'm on a different ICS rom, however, you can still try and see. It should be the same.
1. Go into your phones system settings, this can be accomplished by either locating the settings icon in your app drawer/home screen or by clicking the leftmost physical touch button on your phone.
2. Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS click More....
3. Click Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note 2- Your phone is now acting like a Wi-Fi hotspot and is accessible/detectable by almost all wireless devices except other Android smart phones. If you would like to encrypt your Wi-Fi hotspot click Configure Wi-Fi hotspot and change the password. You can also rename the Wi-Fi hotspot by changing the SSID from AndroidAP (or whatever the default is) to whatever you'd like.
On the app:
Note- These steps are written under the assumption that you have already installed the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" application.
1. Locate and launch the WiFi Tether for Root Users application.
2. Done. That's all you got to do.
Note 2- If you want to customize the SSID, password (remove password), encryption type, etc. Simply go into the apps settings.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I'm on a custom ROM I've been tethering forever but now I get redirected to TMobiles tethering advertisement page . Others have recently complained about this on XDA . It only works of I use user agent switcher .

That's rather intriguing. Especially since the thread you linked me to originated in 2010. I've never had this issue, although I do use Google Chrome. Hmmm... Very interesting indeed. So you get a window from T-Mobile if you tether using Google Chrome and without the switcher extension?

Yes sir . I'm at work right now when I get home I'll post the page I get redirected to without User Agent Switch . I have two Vibrant and both get redirected . Mine is on Chimera and the other is on Euphoria .
I have ics and I use the interface no app needed. Though when I used the together for root I get errors . Strange because when I had gingerbread I used the root tether app with no problems

on rooted updated stock Gingerbread t959
1.
does the phone charge, tether and receive incoming calls while pluged in usb, during wifi or usb tethering? (I used to tether an evdo device and an incoming call would drop the internet)
2.
supposedly easytether will screw with any future attempts to flash your phone and best avoided, whats the best fully featured free alternative to pdanet for a rooted vibrant to usb tether? + can you confirm wifi tether for root works on device?
3.
If I use firefox on my laptop and get redirected to a tmobile subscription page all I have to do is install this addon on my laptop. even if I get re-directed before installing the addon, installing the addon will solve the issue?
thanks, I did a couple searches and didn't find answers.

Just a quick question, are you sure you have the vibrant, and not the galaxy s 4g? There is no stock gingerbread on the vibrant...
Side note, I've used easy tether (great alternative to pda net) along with firefox for a few years and have never seen the t mobile warning. Used it on stock and rooted g1 and vibrant with never any issues.
Does an incoming call drop your usb internet connection and does it charge while connected?
Unless I'm wrong the sgh-t959v is a vibrant as observed from the label. I updated via kies to gingerbread rom from mfg that why I called it stock, not a custom rom.
T959v isn't the same as our t959 Vibrants.
Ours didn't have a GB update via Kies. Be careful even using Kies.
-I'm not sure there is much in our Vibrant thread that applies to t959v at all. Is the t959v the Samsung Blaze 4g? I must research this when I have time.
note: don't modify your phone with anything you see here at all until someone with more knowledge chimes in. I think its a bad idea.
T959v is the galaxy s 4g! T959 is the vibrant. The vibrant never got the gingerbread update, galaxy s 4g did.
Easy tether does charge while in use, phone calls I don't know, never tried.
