How does the USB tether option in settings work? Do I need to have some special software on my computer for it to connect? Also, probably should have asked this first, does USB tether work on jokers cm9 yet? If not would a third party app work? I've tried clockworkmods tether app and it wouldn't connect.

Pdanet cost money. The one built into the ROM is free (I hope lol) but idk how to get it setup on my computer. Supposedly there's a cwm program as mentioned above but I've googled and can't find anything. I just want to be able to tether using the feature built into cm9/10.

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....

I too thank you. I didn't even know that was there.
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.

just tick USB tethering while ace is connected to your PC, and you'll get net on your PC, without even setting anything.
I tethers only because I have no other access to the internet. I use the usb tether, and it works. I even loaded the roms on my ace down

wifi tether app
On your phone in wireless and network settings look for
Tethering and portable hotspots enable/check usb tethering use must also enable USB debugging, then install this app below you will be able to detect your pc/laptop from your phone. And on your pc/laptop will see Android NDIS network.
You will have to put your own settings in example ip address gateway etc.
I have NOT made this to work Yet, but both my phone and laptop can see each other. so it it a setting/config. Some one somewhere did mention it might be MTU settings I cant remember where I saw this but we are going too far now.
Wi Fi tether app
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk
When I try to connect the USB tethering, it connects, but immediately after appears the message USB connected and the tethering check box becomes unchecked.
Did this happened to anyone else?
Can this be a baseband problem?
My baseband is WKS2.
My USB tethering works perfectly on stock, or with app wired tether.
Please help.
Thanks

As far as I remember, the only ROM that has a working USB tether from CM is FAT, and of course any FAT derived rom, I currently have vo-1 so I can't test it but I know it was working when I tried.

Yes, but the free version has some features disabled.
Why should I pay for a feature that I had when I bought the phone?
And yes all non based stock roms that I flashed have no or faulty USB tethering.

It works as a USB tether for internet data, or were you talking about just transferring files?

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.

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!
