Mobile network sharing app

Hey guys, longtime reader. I was wondering if there was an app that i could DL that would give me the funtionality of the Hero's Mobile network sharing settings? I have searched far and wide and have not seemed to find a solution for me to easily tether my PC running Ubuntu 9.04 to my G1 running Cy's 4.1.11.
Sorry if this has been discussed elswhere, and as you can see ive been a member for a long time and have never needed any help, but i have been lookin for about a week now and have only been able to find these 2 sites about it: http://joshuaredstone.blogspot.com/2009/01/bluetooth-tethering-from-ubuntu-to.html and http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2009/...thout-jailbreaking-or-installing-applications
The second one is the one im inquiring about.
thanks

Please correct me if I'm misreading you, are you looking to tether? ie. use your cell phone to get ubuntu online?
If so I use aNetshare, first result in google. It has worked best for every rom I've ran, the older RCs, cupcake and now donut. I'm roaming 99% of the time so that may be why the other more popular ones give me trouble. idk...
For any of them to work you'll need root and su permissions. There is a paid app out there which claims to tether w/o root or su. I think through usb.

yah im slightly confused as to what exactly it is you are looking for as well...but the one im using is called PdaNet just google it and its one of the first choices.
its free.
it claims it works without root, i wouldnt know cuz im rooted =] but you can try!
it works via usb so it charges the phone while you're surfin =]
EDIT....heres the link. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PS. my bad...didnt realize you were already running cyan =]

sorry if i wasnt clear before but i have Ubuntu and want to know how to tether my G1 through bluetooth using Ubuntu....i cant get netshare to work through Ubuntu. how did you get it to work?

bluetooth, you got me there... sry
Ya, sry no idea how to tether via bluetooth. I really only use wifi. Dunno why(maybe because of high data traffic) but my phone would constantly die while tethered and charging via usb.
Other than getting ubuntu to see&install my wireless card(nothing to do with my phone) I don't remember having any problems getting it to see or connect to my phone.
Or am I still confused and what you're really trying to do is use the internet you already have working on ubuntu to get you phone online?

for whatever reason my Ubuntu 9.04 does not automatically read my phone (Tmobile G1) as a modem through the usb. whenever i configure the steps (http://technologyheaven.com/2009/08/27/phoneasmodem/) to get it to read my phone it still says not connected even though it IS connected. I know the usb ports work cause i can get it to mass storage...just not modem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!

it's been a long while since I used USB tethering (anyone remember tetherbot & socks proxies). You may need to have the android sdk installed or atleast know how to communicate with your device via console. Connecting as a mass storage device and as a modem are two different things, so one may work great while the other still needs more setup.
Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in.. please.. anyone...
I don't know a ton about cyan's roms but I'm assuming they come rooted by default. Is there a reason you don't want to use the wifi method for the time being?
edit: fwiw, you can use the wifi method while charging via usb. But, with heavy traffic(downloading huge files consecutively) the usb may not be able to keep up with the battery usage.. especially if on a 3g network. Using the stock charger & wifi on 3g the battery actually gets a little charge(power supply is ~500mA on usb, ~1A on charger). Either way, usb or wifi, usb or charger, turn off your screen for best results.

Im surprised no one mentioned Wireless tether for root users:http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
supports both wifi and bluetooth.

@B3astofthe3ast, cool I didn't know that(no bt on my laptop, ya it's kinda old heh). For whatever reason on several different roms I get terrible data when using that app, it might be because I'm 100% roaming with no 3g ever. Tethers to pc fine just 9/10 doesn't seem to be able download stuff.

thx, but i have that (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/). anyway, im thinking its got something to do with my comp and not the phone itself, seeing as i can get on internet with windows just fine. Im just trying to move away from windows and to Ubuntu.
p.s. i dont have a wireless card in my self built computer, thats why i dont use wifi!

wired tether issue

I have an old laptop that doesnt have wifi. Got my phone drivers installed. But everytime i try to turn on tethering, i get a popup saying new hardware ,and that it needs drivers.
I dont have adb setup, as it wont work for some reason.
Guess i should speculate what im trying to do. Tether my laptop to my wifi router. Any ideas or pointers would be great.
laptop is a hp running win xp sp2, its a fresh install, so i could update if it might help, but cant do sp3.
Or would a linux system work easier?

Figured it out. XP sucks and doesnt have the RNDIS crap.

Nevermind. got no connection because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
Im lost now.

Figured out that my problem was Windows SP2.....Go figure.
So I installed ubuntu 9.10. Didnt help anthing. still am not able to connect. Any info would be great, I've read around through all the threads, and am really starting to get confused, as it says everywhere that it should just be plug and play.

SP2 will not work. I've tried for hours but as soon as I installed SP3 on my work WinXP machine it worked flawlessly.
Why can't you install SP3?

I don't use ucraptu -- it is perpetually borked.
Fedora will work -- just about any version since networkmanager went default. I think that was about version 7 or 8, both of which are already obsolete.
Just turn the thing on, plug in the phone, don't forget to ENABLE WIRED TETHERING, and you're done.

Because my Hp laptop doesnt like it, get blue screens too much. I have tried numerous times, From updating to it, and a fresh install of it.
Its just an old laptop, and its HP. Has 1.2 ghz, and 512 RAM, if that makes my point. lol

Thanks, gonna look into it. And Im assuming you mean enable internet tethering.

Em... yep. That's what I mean.
And do yourself a favor: Start with a livecd. It downloads small and is easy to test without jumping through too many hoops.

Appreciate the help. Fedora looks great, and I have nothing to lose. There online d/l sucks, had to find at the bay.

Stupid ubuntu. got a kernal error before the cd could even boot. Gonna be pissed if Im stuck with ubuntu.

Hey! I like ubuntu!

well thanks for the pointless addition. Im just trying to find an OS that will work with wired tether, Ubuntu was supposedly plug and play... it wasnt. and now I get kernal errors when trying to load new OS.

Figured out that it had nothing to do with my OS, it was the ROM I was running. Tether works great now.

Froyo USB Tethering not working?

I followed the directions here:
google *com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134
but could not get the drivers to properly install. Has anyone else tried and was able to get it to work? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the drivers working?
For me the drivers are giving me cannot finish installing error.
Edit: I'm using Windows XP by the way. So any other XP people having trouble?

Mine worked fine just slow as hell.

All you do is plug in via USB, go to settings > wireless... > Tethering... >Check USB Tethering... That's it that's all.
And mines is hittin' at 4+ Mbps...not slow at all.

Did you get add new hardware option? When I try to install new hardware it says device cannot start (code 10).

Works fine here (Windows 7). I just got 5.03 MB's which is insane

No, no new option. I just plugged it up. One thing tho, I have updated my SDK when the 2.2 SDK came out, but I wasn't asked to update my USB driver, so that's probably irrelevant. It worked just like before the update.

<<---Tethering...

Does anyone know any hacks to get it working on Mac OS X?

USB tethering and wifi hotspot both working flawlessly with a netbook using Windows XP home here.
Maybe the OP error was trying to install the tethering driver for the mass storage device, or the adb device that pops up when connecting the Nexus One if you have "USB debugging" on. I suggest connecting the phone to usb, ignoring any popups that appear asking for drivers (if any) and then active USB tethering on the phone, a new device asking for a driver should pop up. The driver goes there.

Hotspot and Tethering worked fine for me testing with a Windows 7 netbook.

Mine working perfectly with windows 7

T-Mobile isnt going to charge us for internet now because this new tethering is built into the OS? Im sure T-Mobile/ATT sent a WTF letter to google about enabling tethering without their permission

I've been wondering (and asking) the same thing. I wouldn't put it past them.

Tethering with Mac (USB) Cyanogen

Hi, I am using the latest version of Cyanogen on my nexus.. Just wondering how to get tethering to work via USB on my mac? As there is no WIFI option :S
Thanks

Which could just as well mean that wifi is not a option for him, and the subject asks if usb tethering is an option.
May I also suggest not using the word moron or spending time on creating dumb links, based on your resoponses i will assume you have had your fair share of internet arguments, and unless you are about 11years old you should be tired of them. Im just suggesting that if you are a bit nicer, there is the possibility of avoidinh internet argument alltogether (unless you of course enjoy them in which case i suggest going to the wow-forums).

How did you do that google thing :|?

I don't think you can. My MacBook can see the Nexus connected as a USB device but there are no modem services attached to it. We may need a OSX driver for USB tethering to work.

There is no driver for the tethering on osx.

USB Tethering needs something called 'Remote NDIS' or something like that, don't remember exactly. OSX doesn't have any drivers for that, while Windows and Linux does. Once in a while I searched for that when trying to tether with my windows mobile phone, looks like a few projects were started to get a driver for it, but I haven't found a completed one yet.

Is there a way to do a reverse teather?

I am scheduled to Deploy to Iraq later this fall and will be taking my trusty N1.
In Iraq you pay an incredible amount of money for the internet it is something like $75 for 96k. One on the down falls is you link up via cat5. I had my HTC Touch Pro last time and I was able to update data etc surf the internet using active sync via miniusb while it was plugged in to my laptop. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will work on the N1 (do any custom ROMs support ad-hoc WiFi?), but worth a shot: http://modmymobile.com/forums/491-jailbreak-root-access/544146-connect-g1-ad-hoc-network-solved.html (skip to "Step 3" for instructions on changing the tiwlan.ini file).
P.S. Needs root for obvious reasons.

If you run Windows 7 check out www.connectify.me It will turn your current connection into a wifi access point on through your computer's wireless device

Thanks for that link, I'll have to try it out!
[Edit]
Unfortunately Connectify's Access Point mode is only supported on a limited number of WiFi cards, as seen here. My fairly new (1 year old) Lenovo X61 Tablet can only do Ad-Hoc, which still requires modding the wpa-supplicant on the N1. At that point Connectify becomes useless, since you can enable ICS in Windows on your own.

sweet and thanks. i am using this in-flight on gogo so i have access to two devices and only pay for one.

Sorry you are having issues, but yea not all cards are supported. Luckily, both my desktop and laptop have been compatible. My laptop initially had issues because I was not on the newest drivers for the wireless card. If your card isn't directly listed on the unsupported list, it might be worth it to try and upgrade drivers and test one more time.

Unfortunately I am running Xp on my laptop.

The first link is a guide for setting up an ad-hoc connection on Windows XP, the second is a link to a change to the Android source code that's been abandoned 2 months ago.
The good news is that according to the comments on the 2nd link Google is working on implementing Ad-Hoc support. The bad news is that it's not in FroYo, so we might have to wait for Gingerbread to see it. Of course, there's nothing preventing CyanogenMod team from implementing this change into CM6, so they would be the best people to ask about it.

In the network settings on my mac you can 'broadcast' your connection. The tutorial I read showing me how to do that said windows has a similar feature.

You can use travel router and setup internet sharing...
Source: you have to right-click the connection source->properties->advanced and setup the internet sharing.
Destination: If you have a spare ethernet jack, GOOD! Use it.
I know some Ralink-based wifi cards support virtual AP mode (the best bet are Hawking and Asus and I have both).
