When I set up my hot spot for a PS3 it works fine, connects without problems.
When I connect on my computer it will take a while to connect and then it will fail, asking me to troubleshoot additional problems.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? it's getting annoying, sometimes turning it off and on until it connects works but it takes a while and I'd prefer to fix the problem
Thanks guys

Based on the information you have provided, there is only one answer possible:
delete the DOS 6.22 partition on your x386 PC, buy new laptop with something more modern, like Ubuntu, Windows or MacOS and try again.
I clearly see that the root reason of your problem is lack of wifi card drivers for DOS...
And all of the XDA hired fortune tellers are agreeing with me.

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

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.

Has anyone ever played online games using their phone's USB tether? Either on a console or on a PC.
I just thought about this and got curious. My PS3's in the repair shop so I can't try it out my self. Has anyone ever tried? And is it possible? :O

Droidpad! Check it out on play store! Don't remember on USB but it definitely works on WiFi. Excellent thing. (Getting used to controls takes time )
Edit: You might want to see nJoy as well. Only Wifi though this one.Paid I think (Haven't tried)
If you mean connecting to something like PSN or Xbox live. I played COD4 on PS3 using a wifi hotspot and it played ok, a bit of lag but playable. Never tried with USB but wifi hotspot is easier

Yeah, that's what I meant. I think you should have less lag if you go USB though. Faster and more secure connection. That's what I think.
But good, glad to know it works

I know what you mean. Instead of DroidPad I use Gmote though. Been using it for a while and I really like it.
But what does the other app have to do with this? Lol
Back then when we didn't have router, my brother and I played RF Online with mobile network, tethered via USB in his Sony Ericsson Dumbphone
So yeah it works, but when the signal goes down, sometimes it freeze for a while

Hi all,
Until a few days ago, even with ICS installed, is was possible for me to connect my phone(Xperia S) on my MacBook Pro and browser trough my phone, using Bridge for Mac(BfM). But now my Mac can't find my phone anymore.
Now, when I connect my phone, BfM scans for a device but it can't find it, even when while keeping it connected for 15 minutes it still doesn't do a thing.
I already tried to use/not use USB-debugging but it didn't help. Android File Transfer did not work for me either. I already restarted my phone, my computer, BfM, ATF and re-connected my phone through my mini-USB. All without any result.
When I have my phone connected, BfM is saying: Detecting phone... and the (some sort of icon) is spinning. When I check my notifications in my Xperia S it says: Internal memory connected Internal memory is connected with the PC
I run ICS on my Xperia S. It is not rooted or flashed in any other way. So just retail.
Sorry for my bad English. I am Dutch so some terms/phrases may not be the same.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance!
Regards

Apple products are so, like a miser in this case. I have experienced this too on my Uncle's macbook.

I know that Apple product may have some problems concerning compatibility and such. But there must be an other way to fix this right? Before it has worked, so why it doesn't do now?
I don't feel like using my phone in Windows so I need reboot and such.. Must be a solution I think.
Airdroid is the answer
Just install Airdroid on your Xperia S.
Makes file transfers easy as pie!!
And it's compatible with ANY browser too!!

Looks good on first look! I will instal, try it later and will let you know.
But how about updates? Bridge for Mac provides these and with AirDroid(from which I saw) it doesn't do updates. Am I right? So what about this..
Thanks anyway!
Did you update to Bridge 3.0? Also when I plug my phone in I have Bridge closed. Unlock the phone then open bridge. Seems to work pretty good that way. Sometimes I still have to disconnect and reconnect a couple times.

OMG, that worked! :good:
Bridge for Mac didn't detect a update so I manually updated it to 3.0 through their site. And BAM, is works now!
Super thank you. If I could double-thank I would hit it haha
Still kind a strange that before it worked and suddenly it did not..

Hello Gurus.
I have this strange issue with connecting my Laptop to the Portable Hotspot on my Galaxy S2.
I have the security as WPA2/PSK. Now when I keep it secured, I am unable to connect any devices.
While when I keep it as OPEN, it connects.
Any one can shed some light on this ?
Thanks
**Running RR_Jelly_Bean_V3.0.2_AOKP_4.1.1 GT-I9100
I have the same issue with my phone
i had this problem too
it's some kind of problem with the wifi driver of your laptop try to update ur drivers or unistall/reinstall them and try again
I think that kinda makes sense. A lot of my drivers have been acting funny since I installed Windows 8 haha. Thanks tho, I'll give it a try.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It's not about your windows drivers, it's a common bug in all Jellybean ROMs
My guess would be that it is related to the kernels, like the situation with hwcomposer...
in my Second Rom (PilotxROM AOKP-M6 ICS 4.0.4), is`t working Great.
same kernel, so ....
My Samsung Galaxy Note is not being recognized by my Mac. I have the CM10 Nightless ROM on it at the moment. I also have Android File Transfer installed on my Mac.
Why do you have any extra software installed on the mac? Get rid of that it should just pick it up after you mount it. Try different usb ports/cables. My GF's mac picks up my PA CM10 just fine. Try that?
Mac address issue in the CM rom ???
Check the Mac address field in your network settings in the rom to confirm that you have the correct Mac address......g

I believe they are referring to an Apple Mac issue, not a MAC address issue.

Ah...you are correct Sir...my bad....g
who uses a cable to connect their phones to their computer anymore??
thats so 1990..
use one of the many wifi based interfaces, like airdroid, wifi explorer pro, etc...
I havent connected a cable to my mac/gnote since I rooted it months ago..
its your android phone saying its time to dump the mac and upgrade to a pc
but there is some special way MTP connects to a mac, search google for it.

if you want to think about it that way sure... or you can think of it this way.
custom built pc to your liking, install win/lin/osx. SAVE TONS OF MONEY
OR
spend 2000$+ extra to have an apple stamp on your tower.
i dont see how buying a pc is downgrading when you can do so much more with it
thats like saying "you bought an android? whyd you downgrade from an iphone...*
well, after having pc's for 20 years, custom building most of them, BTW, and dealing with windows builds that ranged from horrible, to ok, I decided to go MAC in 2006; things were great at first, but the last 2 OSX releases, Lion, and now Mountain Lion have been major disappointments to me, let alone my disgust for the childish lawsuits and other bull that Apple is now focused on, instead of building better products..
I'll probably go back to windows machines, once windows 8 is fully out there..
BTW, my custom made PC's were always more than $2000.00!!
Sorry about hijacking this thread with PC "Stuff"!

I would really look into using airdroid though I have used that since I first downloaded it , dont connect with cables anymore !!
I was afraid that this might turn into a PC vs Mac thread haha. I'll look into the over the air method when I get home. Thanks for all the suggestions and help

Its a known issue with JB and Mac. If you use TWRP go that route for a USB connection. Its really easy and a lot quicker than over the air.
