when i try to use usb tethering in stock or eclipse i get the data link lost error. constantly tries to reconnect and drops. when i use usb tethering in cm7/9/10 it works perfect. i'm not using any apps to tether and really cant afford to dish out any money for something my phone should be doing already. has anyone found a way to get usb tethering to work in stock/eclipse? i'm on an ntelos milestone x2 if that helps at all.
tehering
I use klink red edition, its not real expensive and works great!
It's because the ROMS have issue with this, Like the the guy before me said, if you really need it get the app he recommended

What is the most effective way to use the pro as a modem? I have downloaded PdaNet and it works flawlessly but wonder if it is the most efficient means from a speed stand point. Also when I downloaded it did not say it was a demo but I see an option to buy and register which wants an e-mail and a serial but the program seems to work fine. I wonder for how long?
PDANet Demo is good for 14 days if I remember correctly. For me it's been great and I ended up buying it. I think you would see the best speeds tethered to the phone via USB than via WiFi or Bluetooth.
Hi,
With PDANet, would ATT know that you were tethering? Is there any way that they can recognize data transfering from the computer through the phone?
Thanks in advance
I haven't had an issue. I used to tether my motorola Q on verizon without paying for their extra 'tethering' option. I would only use it while traveling so I never had a high data usage for the month.
PDANet slows you down. For sure.
ICS is the best for tethering IMO, it doesn't cripple your speeds.
check out this thread I made http://sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174517
will confirm that ICS is way faster...
for verizoners check this out http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47075
works great and don't have to worry about activesync

What about WMwifirouter ?
http://freewareppc.com/communication/wmwifirouter.shtml
The freeware version works perfectly with the ancient mogul.
Usage:
WMWifiRouter is very simple to operate (if everything goes well). After installation just start the program, press "Connect", wait until the screen gives you a fully green icon and then you can connect your other WiFi-enabled devices to the "WMWifiRouter" network. Once you are connected, for most devices you can just press the power button to turn off the screen and other power using components of your device, while it remains functional as a WiFi router.
NOTICE: If you have a Titan / Mogul or other device that has a hardware WiFi switch, turn this to the on position before starting WMWifiRouter.
NOTICE: Obviously, using WMWifiRouter to tether over WiFi uses your phone's data connection, so you should make sure you have good data plan, or you will be charged extra!
I have used all 3 options. Pda net is simple you don't need to hack reg. It is slower. ICS for most you have to do hack or pay extra is faster no other software to buy pdanet is like 20 buck i think. There are pirate copies but is not so expensive good to support developers. I currently use wmwifireouter it is also fast you still have to do the hack cost is 30 bucks us. With this one you need to plug it in somewhere to keep battery charged it does allow multiple phones. Is customizable now works like a charm but you do want to open keyboard for cooling. I use sprint and have never been charged for tethering with any of these options. In my opinion you have more flexability with wmwifirouter than with the others.
Just wondering if its possible to take your droid phone and tether it to the Gtab like you can with a laptop in order to get online.
You need to download the drver for the pc to get something like pdanet to work, so not sure about this

Sure. For Android phone, tons of apps on Google market can let it become Wifi hot spot. Then your gtab can pickup wifi signal to connect to internet. You can check <G Tablet Themes and Apps> section on xda-developers.com.

If you search this forum for wifi tethering, you will find a lot of information on different ways to accomplish this. A little reading goes far here, redundant posts do not. You can find Search field on the top right...
Did search, didnt really find a useful answer.
I have pdanet on droid x2 and am able to connect laptop to internet.
I tried connecting phone and tablet with bluetooth and no luck.
Since I dont have a micro usb to mini usb cable to connect the two to try that im asking if it works. Only cable like that I found was on ebay from hong kong
You will need to do WiFi tethering, not bluetooth or USB.
It seems to do WiFi tethering, if you don't have native phone support you have to root and use one of the apps that provide ad hoc support. I have read all the bluetooth stuff and no one seems to get it working.
Wireless Tether and Barnacle Wireless Tether
I used both of these apps on my rooted Droid X to create wi-fi hotspots and connect my gTabs to them without having to do anything special. I've used VEGAn 5.1.1 and VEGAn Ginger as well as the CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (Stable release) and it's worked with all of them.
Is there free wired tethering available for this phone?
is there a free supported app?
The computer im using doesn't have a wireless network card( it's an old computer).
and im wondering if there is a way i can get my phone to be its internet until i get a card.
I want to turn it into a FTP server.
Any help that helps, THANKS
Relative to the wireless part. I have a couple of these that I got just for this type of purpose.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY
Cheap, FAST and very handy to have around in the case someone brings over a computer without wireless access.
As for using your phone for the internet, that works good for browsing etc... but you will have a hard time getting your phone to provide services like service (FTP) since the IP is NAT'd....

The phone will definitely not be a permanent fix. I'll still want to use the phone haha, i just want to set it up and see how it goes first.
the router isn't that far away, but it's a floor above so it will be going through at least 1 wall...
and thanks ill look into that
would

work? ill try it out in a bit but was just wondering if someone has tried before...
Edit: that links app does NOT work for the leaked ics kernel
I thought you could just plug the phone into the usb and select internet???
No verizon made a fee, id rather go though our guy's for wired tether you know, i just need to get a little usb wireless dongle thing then i guess
I use pdanet
Easytether works fine for free as long as you dint visit any secure sites

Using this now and it works great, now i just have to follow that guys FTP guide.
THANKS SO MUCH!
Glad to hear PDAnet works. I tried the Wired Tether on the Google Projects page with no luck on CleanROM 1.7.5 or CleanROM 4.2.2.
Seems to be a kernel issue I think the one from Google will work when we get aosp or cm working. Maybe the ics official release will let it work on sense roms. The PDA net app works fine currently.
I use ClockWorkMod Tether. Love it.

i too need to enable usb tether without simcard
i dont much like foxfi
esp that i dont wish to buy it
i can easily buy a tp link micro usb adapter for 150mbps wifi n 2.4ghz but thats not what i want to do
i need to give net to a pc that does not have wifi
i just want to enable usb tether connect to my wifi and use my p769 tmo as a wifi adapter basicly and im having the hardest time doing it
i know foxfi works but with a charge of 8bucks basicly and im prolly going to end up giving this desktop to someone and not keeping it
plus it would just be nice to have this .....
non rooted 4.0.4
kinda scared to even mess with it seeing the issues this l9 can occur
and i already have issues with other devices being rooted before and just would like to find a legit way to do this
my l9 doesnt have service nor a simcard
im open to the idea of rooting it and all that if theres a surefire way thats not too hackery
somthing simple hopfully
---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------
also i know of the work around ppl try to do with foxfi i have kinda tryed it and given myself somesort of issues and dont wish to try hacking foxfi really
i had some service that was persistent in the task manager popup ui thing that would not go away no matter what i know it had somthing to do with that foxfi 3.0 or 3.02 and anyways looks like foxfi now has issues even connecting on older ver cant install app fails and uninstalls it self
u can bypass it by ignoring the pop up error on pc and reboot ur pc bam the program stays installed but connects but never works or est a connection .... may be one of the reasons we dont have usb mount and have mtp thing now
anyways ... comeon help please i dont wanna buy adapters for this pc call me cheep cause thats what i am lol
Hello,
I've just about pulled my hair out over this. What is the easiest way to get wifi tethering unlocked and unrestricted? I've tried hacks, mods, flashing ROMs with this mod baked in yet when i check my tethering usage it's still ticking upwards rapidly.
Please, can anyone help me with this? Thank you very much
Bump. Anyone?
I find that using pdanet+ to usb tether is the most effective way of data tethering at this point. Tmobile have really cracked down on unauthorized wifi tether, at least down here in TX. I'm constantly being throttled as soon as I turn on WiFi tether. User agent doesn't help either.

I use EasyTether+
The free version is pretty good, but restricts you from using https secured websites (like Gmail.com). For $10 you can get the full version; unfortunately it's only for PC, since the host is USB or Bluetooth only, and they only have a PC client.
I bought it with Play store credits via the Google Opinion Rewards app (so, for free), but it may be worth considering if you want to sidestep tethering restrictions and are linking with a PC. At least try the free version first to see if you like it; it seems to work for me pretty well, and doesn't make my phone get too hot.
Disclaimer: My GS5 is still in the mail (don't have it yet; just browsing the forums to get my bearings). My experience with EasyTether+ is on a LG G2, but it's still T-mobile so I doubt anything network-wise is different.
Bump, did you get the s5 yet? Does it work?
Anyone knows any fixes?
