Has anybody gotten this to work on an ATT Tilt?
No matter what I do, it just refuses to work. I used to use it all the time on my Mogul.
But the problem used to be that I could connect to it on my laptop, but wouldnt get internet. I gave up on it for a couple months. Now I go to try it again and I am not even picking it up on my laptop at all. I just don't understand.
Thanks in advance.

Works perfectly for me, although I'm on a cooked ROM.

So am I. Still nothin.

hey can u tell us whats going on exactly?

My wouldn't work on Qmobile 1.2 but does work on L26... Go figure.

It's in the first post. I am not even picking it up on my laptop.

Bear in mind the WiFi signal is a 802.1b connection instead of the more recent 802.1g so make sure your laptop is searching for both bands.
Also, try and see if others can see your wireless network.

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.

First off, My mom is dead. Died when I was six jackass.
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/

i still don't think she would appreciate your tone. and even though you have been searching you have yet to pick one possible solution and post any errors that you have had. you just ***** that you can't figure it out and flame everybody that finds humor at the "third" post. BTW its around 5 am somewhere in the world so that doesn't prove a thing.

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

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.

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.

Wifi Teather

Ok, so I just upgraded to Froyo, flashed Perception build 10. But, I can't get MobileAp to work. Like, it'll run and I can find the network on my laptop, but no internet access once I've connected
Ideas?

froyo has a built in wireless tether. try using it instead
settings>wireless and network>mobile ap

Firebird kernel 24

Have you tried connecting with anything besides your laptop? An ipod or another device? I have always been able to connect with my windows devices but it can take a few minutes after connecting before internet access is obtained.
Aster you able to tether via usb?
You can also try using an app from the market to see if it will work if you haven't already.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It's in the market. I use it instead of mobileap cause it allows me to secure my wifi and allow only those who I know to connect. Mobileap is completely open to any and all. I'm sending this post from my hp laptop tethered to my captivate.

@bobarone....click mobile ap settings to enable secure connection. default is usually set to open

Thanks for your mention of Windows, because I just tried it on my Mac and that's what would not work. My iTouch worked fine though.
Any ideas on making it work with my Mac? if not that's not a big deal as that's not what I'll be using it for primarily, just wondering.
Thanks for your help, didn't even think about it!

Hmmm...i thought mac's "just worked" honestly I know nothing about them, every time I get a new laptop I say I am gonna get an apple but wind up with windows.
was just in best buy last week and the new ones look sweet so perhaps this summer I will finally make the leap.

Well... Macs are harder to break. lol idk if they 'just work' haha but only reason I even have an apple is because it's fast as hell for school work, and when I got it was before I learned linux so I thought it was the only Windows alternative. Learning linux has made most of this 'more advanced' adb stuff cake because I know all the shell commands haha
I would still recommend one though simply because you'll be relatively hard pressed to find a laptop with such high specs for that price anywhere else. That, and you can multiboot so you can decide what you like best. That was the deciding factor for me lol.
But thanks a lot for your help, this makes me feel much better. I use my wifi tether for work because the upload speeds suck hard and I never get jack done if I don't lol, so I'm happy this works!

[Request] Wifi router app for WP7 on HD2

Hello,
it would be great if we could get an app to use the HD2 with WP7 as wifi-router.
Could someone make this possible?

+1 !! i need it for my galaxy tab

U read my mind, just about one of the things i was looking for
+1

Has anyone read THIS?

That's for USB tethering, the OP and others in this thread are asking for WIFI tethering.

Bump. Need this badly... miss this feature that was readily available on my HD2...

PLEASE!!!
Giving this another bump, because I don't feel like dishing out more money to pay for a wifi plan with verizon when I can just tether with my phone. I would greatly appreciate this app back. =]

We should all start a bounty for all the things missing in WM7 on our HD2. I know They'll get it done (They have lives lol) but if there's money involved everyone will be motivated to work harder. I will start: 30USD from me if they can can get the following:
Custom Background
WiFi Tether
Copy/Paste (When it's released of course)
And anything else anyone wants to add. The bounty would be split evenly with who ever fills our needs

Wifi Teathering + Cut and Paste
I'll match that $30. I am about to set up an android dual boot situation just so I can get wifi teathering. I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Okay sotheres 60 sofar. Anyone willing to make a bounty thread for this and place a list with the people willing to donate, how much and a llink to their profiles.we really need these thinhs done

I want to start learning the code this summer so I can start developing apps that are needed such as this. I need the same functionality from my hd2 wp7 and can't find it anywhere either. Does anyone know what language WP7 is wrote in?

Cut & Paste is in the March NoDo update.

may not be a great solution, but has anyone tried the USB teathering method, then setting up an adhoc wifi network on the computer and sharing the dial up connection created in usb teathering?

But then you would need your laptop, your phone, AND your iPad/Galaxy/whatever out and that sort of defeats the purpose of wanting the wifi router built in to your phone.
I'll add my $30 to the bounty. I'm back in 6.5 on my HD2 because I use my wifi router quite a bit.

yes you would need 3 devices (hence why i said it might not be a great solution) but it might work for those that are desperate!
