XDA to act as modem - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane

Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.

If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.

Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??

Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Thanks got wifirouter working, just cant get my archos 5 to find it now

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.

Sharing your HSPDSA internet connection with an IPOD touch via Wifi

Hi
I have a TYTN II on unlimited data with Orange... and that is awesome - great data speeds.
Is it possible to use this data connection with an IPOD touch or other wifi device. I have been able to use my PPC internet connection on a PC (via cable or bluetooth) and on a MAC (via Bluetooth PAN) but was wondering if it is possible to use this high speed connection on a Touch. Hence you would have a "3g Iphone", without the phone of course!
Thanks
Tony
Maybe you could use WMWiFiRouter. I think the official thread for it is in the "Development and Hacking" subforum of the general forum. Google for it too, but I think the program was taken off the site for a while. I didn't read the specifics.
Yea, it works because it has Ad-Hoc in it, when I had an iPhone i used it as a ad-hoc router(with some jailbreaking of course, but that doesnt mean it wont pick it up). Once you have it on, on the tytn II, then enter in the SSID in the join this network box(or the thing that makes you manually enter a SSID) and it should connect.

WMWifirouter has been pulled by the author for the time being. Rumor is that it will be back up in a couple of weeks.

Just a couple of small suggestions that may answer your questions.
When u got ur phone and opened the box somewhere in there you should have found the manual. It has great details on what the comm manager buttons do. Now it may not cover all the extra buttons that your cab installed but it will help. Read it.
Google is your friend. Where ever you got the cab file from should have told you who made it. Search on their nick and you should find details on the extra buttons.
....um....are you serious?

Okay, Less the Microsoft direct push, the touch pro manual would not say how these other buttons function. I only asked because it was on topic. why would beam be in my manual if my phone doesn’t have IR?
Second, if you don’t know the answers don’t say "google it" to feed your superiority trip. I’ve been googling it since the 90's. Ive tried googling "IP Phone" with the touch pro, and found dirt. Ive tried locating the original thread to ask the creator, and cant find it.
So...the manual wont help......Google has nothing....and I can’t find the original thread. So im left with my last option...
...Which is to post in a forum and risk getting chewed on by an ant with a big head (who most likely doesnt know the answers anyway) just to get some insight. Additionally, ive searched this site, and ppcgeeks aswell.
Sure i could have googled beam, but i thought i could get some quick answers all relating to the same subject.
"sure groper, Ip phone is for using your phone as a headset for skype on a pc. Beam is RF, which isnt on your phone. etc..."
"cool man, thanks for making my day easier"
Remember, forums are set up for information and help. I have legitimate questions that ive searched and still need answers. If you don’t want to help, then don’t bother posting.

1. Internet Calling I.E. Skype
2. You Have verizion right?
3. Bluetooth.
4. ?
5. Thats kind of self explanatory.
Got another question pertaining to your original questions? Ask, and I will try my best to answer them in this thread.

2 -> it switches between GSM und UMTS (3G)
3 -> same as Settings -> Connections -> Beam -> Receive all incoming beams.
I think it must be enabled to receive incoming bluetooth beams.

1. VOiP (Not for a headset for Skype but actual skype itself)
2. Verizon uses CDMA not 3g, so does not apply to you
3. works with lightsaber.cab and garagedooropener.cab
4. Verizon chokes chickens? Sounds like a personal issue. If it's that big of a deal I'd look into a proxy or something, not sure if that would help
5. If you needed Direct Push you would know the answer or have an IT guy to ask. Of which I are neither
Sandwich please!!!
On a sidenote, there are alot better comm managers out there might want to look into the Raphael CDMA threads for stuff that people use with Verizon and the Touch Pro. GSM devices such as ATT and Tmobile are different hardware wise then those of verizon and sprint(?) which use CDMA as radio frequencies. Hope this helps

So you got a cab from someone that you cannot trace. You then loaded it to your $1,000.00 phone without knowing what all the functions are.
Now you are giving me grief because I suggested (in an attempt to help you help yourself) that you google for the cab or the guy who made it as most of the software developers on XDA usually give information on what their software does.
Your response was pretty much what I expected and why I did not give you the direct answers. You want to be molly coddled and fed fairy floss, call HTC. They will at least pretend to give a ****.

I'm using RC3, too, but have a look at the screenshot.
I only touched "Beam"...
You can't receave files via Bluetooth if you disable Beam, don't know why this thing is still there, I think it comes from the times of IR.

are these apps available?

Hi,
I'm looking for an app to connect wirelessly to my hp printer/scanner. Even when not in the wireless network area. Also, is it possible to be able to hook up my g1 to a laptop via usb and use the phone as the internet?
hi there, not sure about the first but the second one is possible through tethering. should be a sticky somewhere close(look for gaining root). as for responses, these guys dont give information easily on already spoken about topics, so try and source it fom the site using search...

Wanting to tether my hero to Linux, HELP!

Ok. So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Fresh ROM 1.1. I have the wifi-tether app installed, but my desktop does not have wireless. I normally use PdaNet on Windows 7, but I am now dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 with Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to USB tether my phone to either Ubuntu 9.10 or OpenSuse 1.1. I have tried the little "Sprint MNS rig" and it fails for me every time and every way. I am open to anything! I will even wipe my phone and install a new ROM if needed! I just really want to USB tether my phone to Linux! Thanks!
Unfortunatly, the USB tether app doesn't work on our Hero.
Have you tried running PDAnet in Wine?
This worked for me.

Well I used to tether my diamond to linux all the time and afaik you should be able to get it.
Look up the guide that uses the race condition(enabling sharing before connection grabs), it's on this forum.
Setup a dial up connection in KPPP or w/e your choice is. Have the connection dial #777 and fill in anything for user/pass and that may work.
Best I can think of at the moment.
ROFLMAO.
That link works for me too.
Anyhow i can't think of a laptop that has windows 7 that doesn't have wireless? whats the use having a laptop without wireless? where did you get this state of the art beast. does it have bluetooth?

Maybe you should actually read some of the things you google.
The first link talks about MNS, which he said does not work.
The second link is the same thing.
The third link is this thread.
The fourth link is also MNS.

If you're going to attempt to be a smart ass, at least read the post first instead of seeing what other people say and repeat them.
AFAIK, most desktops do not come with built in wireless cards. Seems you can pick up a small selection of motherboards from Newegg that have a/b/g, but that's about it.
I repeat however, have you tried PDAnet in Wine?
My Windows 7 desktop doesn't have wireless either.
But wireless pci cards are getting cheaper as we speak. That's an option I guess?

Hey smart ass? First off, I said DESKTOP. Secondly, Lets say I DID have a laptop with Windows 7 and no wireless, you mocking it is NOT solving my problem, which is why your post should be reported for low quality. Lastly, "whats the use having a laptop without wireless?" Isn't even a sentence. Stay off my threads. Thanks
And to the guy recommending PdaNET on Wine, No I haven't dude I am looking into it right now.
Here's something else to look into
http://code.google.com/p/azilink/
If you can get the race condition to work, the KPPP connection should work.
If not, try the VPN.
As far as using Wired Tether on 2.1, it seems it runs, the Su request goes through, the computer make the "hardware plugged in noise," but as far as getting data to transfer, nothing.
However I'm at my Mom's house, and her USB ports are all screwed up, so my tests are inconclusive.

First off. Kyle i don't think your mother would appreciate you talking to ppl like that.
Second. yes i did miss read your post. my bad
Third. the second post was funny as hell. and proves you didn't do any searching on this forum much less any other.
so please stop whining and get busy trying to figure it out. if you get stumped post your errors and commands and we'll lend a helping hand.
Third have you tried proxoid?
Also i found this link
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=409949084&blogID=446443940
its for a g1 but you should be able to make it work.
so don't post asking for somebody to figure it out for you unless you search first.
Tethering works just fine for me. It comes up as a wifi access point in network manager, and it also comes up in iwlist for an essid. im using gentoo btw
And im using the wireless tether app which comes in most custom roms to do my tethering
you can download the said app here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Wired tether(the app) doesn't work. I've tried on 1.6, 2.01 and 2.1. It's an incompatibility with our Heros it seems.
And at above poster, he said NOT wireless.

Secondly, You must not have learned your lesson about READING THE POSTS huh? I said I have been searching since 5 A.M. for an answer but all have failed, or aren't companionable.
Lastly, I have already found that. For some reason, I can not establish a connection. It will not even pick up the fact that there is a wired connection.
P.S. Proxoid is NOT what I am looking for. It does not connect like an internet connection and I have to go through every program I want to use for the internet and change the proxy settings manually. Not only that, it lags, disconnects, and the response time is terrible.

Oh, my b. And in the 2.1 build, if you go into wireless settings and enable mobile network sharing, it comes as an interface usb0 in which you can dhcpcd it to gain internet access
I haven't tested this, but you could probably get the same usb0 interface using this app: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
