My X2 is rooted but I can't get google wired tether to work.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Anyone know why?
Google wifi tether works fine.
Im using easy tether and working like a charm. What wired are you using/
I would like to use the google wired tether as linked above. One click action and no drivers to install. PDAnet or EasyTether require drivers to be installed in windows for them to work. My last phone (HTC Eris) was rooted and the google wired tether worked fine. Doesn't want to work for some reason on my X2
I got it working one night on my X2 I dont recall how but Verizon picked up on it and threw the call 611 in my face. Went to wireless tether.
I tried this app too on my PC. It recognized that there was some sort of connection between the phone and the computer but said there was a network cable unplugged which I didnt understand. I havent been able to find any usb tether app that works. But maybe they made the phone to not be able to without the paid service.
As the title says I'm having trouble setting up pdanet fullversion to work properly. I've been reading a lot the past 2 days since I got this phone on tethering with it. I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan which complicates this. Ive also read that verizon has done something so that tethering apps in the playstore wont work for unlimited data plans (guessing this is why i cant use pdanet)?
Anyone tethering successfully with unlimited data plan and this phone?
Do i have to root my phone and flash a custom ROM on it to be able to use PDAnet?
Please help.
Anyone?
I have done wireless tethering w my unlimited data plan
I have not tried pdanet or wired tethering
You can only tether if ur rooted using the app wireless tether
You cannot use the built in hot spot cuz verizon will say you need to buy the monthly service even if ur rooted
I am unlocked rooted and on ukb 1.21
Using wireless tether
Put your settings on generic ics/jb wlan0
And force wifi driver reloading

No Hotspot Tether Apps Will Work On My Phone Please Help!!
I have a Galaxy S3 with AT&T. I do have the recent LTE sim card. I’m trying to share
Internet to my two macs. My S3 is rooted.
I recently installed Google Wallet. Sense I have AT&T I had to change a couple of logs in the build directory to trick my phone to think it’s a Galaxy Nexus. Could that be it? If so can I change the logs back and Google wallet still work?
I’ve had been using FoxFi for about 2 months with no problems. I never used it a whole lot to make my data stand out. I’ve used it about 8 times
No matter which hotspot tethering app I try to use my phone wont share internet. USB tether apps wont work either.
I’ve tried:
Wireless Tether – Says its sharing a hotspot but computer wont find it.
Smart Tether – Says FoxFi is working but FoxFi says the hotspot is off
ClockworkRom Tether – Says USB tethering is ready then the app on my mac tries to connect to the internet through the phone but never does, just keeps saying “Checking phone status..”
Barnacle WiFi Tether – Says “Failed to connect to supplicant: no such file or directory” “Stopped unecpectedly!”
FoxFi – When I go to activate it tries to then says “Activation faild.” – Ive been using FoxFi for about 2 months with no problems.
EasyTether – Says its ready to USB tether but mac just says my phone is not sharing Internet
PdaNet USB tether – I have the PDA net app installed on my mac like required but still does not work.. – Pda Net did work on my mac on my iPhone before switching over to android. 2 months ago.
Wrong forum, this is f for the international i9300
Might be too late to warn about this, but the 4.3 over-the-air update has broken PdaNet+ for me. Others may have the same problem.
I believe this is an issue with windows not recognizing the phone properly. I had to manually run windows update and it downloaded htc drivers. Your computer should recognize the phone as "my htc" if it's working properly.

The latest drivers were brought in with HTC Sync, I think. The phone was recognized properly and all, as before. PdaNet was just unable to connect from computer to phone.
Not to hijack this thread but has anyone actually run into the data cap for wifi hotspot w/ T-Mobile? I supposedly get 500MB of tethering w/ my plan, but today alone I've used over 500MB and well over a gig in this billing cycle. Is this something actively being enforced? Just curious.
OP is right, it's not working anymore. It recognizes my phone fine but when I have usb debugging and pda net and usb tether enabled and try to connect on pda net desktop it keeps asking me to "Please start pdanet on your phone and enable USB Tether mode"
I've also noted that there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the HTC Sync while keeping USB debugging on. Perhaps that is the culprit here?
Having the exact same problem described - the desktop client asks to start pdanet on my phone even though it's already on and usb mode is active. I tried using easy tether lite, but that does not hide mobile data usage. Has anyone else tried any othe app/any luck getting pdanet to work after the 4.3 update?
The 4.3 update also broke Wifi Tether too!
But I am lucky now Tmo is giving 2.5gb for hotspot with my $70 prepaid plan.
Has anybody found a workaround or know if June Fabrics Software intends to update to fix this?
Lets give pdanet some time to update

Same thing happened to me. I was rather miffed. When looking about for a solution, I installed ClockworkMod Tether, and it worked. It's a 10 day trial, though. After 10 days you have to upgrade to the full version for $4.99. Still a good deal.
I remembered reading somewhere that FoxFi might work if you installed the dedicated FoxFi app instead of using the version built into PdaNet+. I gave that a try, and it did work for me as long as I changed the user agent string in my browser. I bought PdaNet a long time ago and received an activation code, which I used to activate the full version of FoxFi.
Finally I bought a VPN subscription for $30 a year. Now I can tether away wirelessly and not have to worry about my user agent string. My tethering speeds also went up, though this coincided with the network fix that solved the issue with extreme throttling on large downloads. Still, I should have gotten a VPN ages ago. It rocks.
BTW, my One is not rooted and is running stock 4.3.
I get the same problem with my galaxy s4 it says device can't be reach to something like that any help I don't like 4.3 I'd rather go to 4.w again
Is there a working usb tethering app for this phone?
What variant do you have? I have the Verizon XT 1528 and all I did was set it up on PagePlus and it opened up built in tethering for whatever reason. Have you tried foxfi?
Boost. We tried FoxFi on a virgin plan without any luck
