Question about wifi and usb tethering. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi this may be a noob question but I can't seem to find an answer for the life of me.
If I connect to wifi and tether my G1 through usb, is it using data from wifi or from my mobile network.

mobile network

depends what rom ur using, the latest CM will forward your wifi to your computer afaik

Thanks for the replies so far, I'm using the lastest cyanogen rom if that helps any.

A simple test would be to turn off your mobile data, and see if you get the same speeds on the pc. Do the same the other way around and then have both connected at the same time.

Using Wifi instead of 3g for Internet Sharing

So my laptops internal wireless card gave out, and while I don't mind using 3g.. wifi is a little faster, so is there a way to use that instead of 3g? I do not see it as an option in the internet sharing app.
thanks
hmm, i think ICS could do that.......... connect via wifi then connect ICS with USB or bluetooth..... hmm, i was thinking wmwifirouter could do it but i am not sure
already tried that. I think that wmwifirouter is for sharing 3g over wireless
simple..I do that all the time.
Turn off Data Connection
Turn On WiFi
Turn On Internet Sharing
..wah-la !
i tried that but under network connection wifi does not appear and it tries to connect to 3g?
I know we can simply connect my HTC via my wireless connection,
but is there a way, presumeably if we want to connect our phone
to the internet via PC. anyone care to share the tricks? thx.

[Q] Cannot use wifi tethering

Hello everybody, I've searched on the forum, but I cannot find a solution to my problem. When I try to connect my iPad or my MacBook to the internet through my SGS I cannot surf the web. I mean, I can connect to the SGS via the wifi connection but it looks like there is no internet connection.. I am on Darky 7.0 rom. Is there any kind of setting which I have to make to be able to get an internet connection? Thanks for your help
Yeah, same issue with me.

Hope somebody has a solution...
Do you have a weak signal? I noticed when my signal is weak i can connect but the internet doesn't work.
No the signal is at the maximum but there is no internet connection..
any help?
I'm also having the same problem on 7.5 and 7.6. Maybe bring this up in his thread?
Edit: Im in an area with HSDPA for data too, but when I switch to tethering via wifi or even USB, it doesn't switch to HSDPA. And it wont let me browse the net from a PC. Browsing within the phone works fine.
check your APN settings if they are correct
If my APN settings won't correct I wouldn't be able to browse from the handset itself, which I can do no problem. Its only when I tether.

Using Computer's wifi for captivate?

I'm trying to use the computer's wifi connection to send TO the Captivate; the phone is having those wifi issues with the school's internet and until I get that fixed I can't really use that much data.
I was wondering if there was a way to use the computer's wifi through usb or it's own wifi connection? Thanks in advance.
Oh and I'm using a custom 2.2.1 rom
Like ftp? If so, try On Air from the market.
What OS are you using on your computer. If you are using a Windows machine and are have it plugged into the LAN you can set up an AD/HOC network. Google the process as the process varies per XP Vista and Win 7. However if you are using your computers wifi to connect to the schools wireless then I am not sure on what you can do.
Thanks for the input guys; and yea charlier, I thought about making an ad hoc network but sadly I'm using my computer's wifi to connect to the internet so that won't work.
Yesterday I bit the bullet and upgraded to the 2gb data plan and I'm loving it; with the ROM I'm getting better battery life, OC/UV benefits, the ability to side load, and ATT's network speed is amazing here (H+).

G2 won't tether, help needed

Hello there, this question is regarding the fact that I can't tether my VS 980 to my PC. On my old S4 active, whenever my internet wouldn't work I'd connect to the neighbour's wifi on my phone and tether it to my PC through USB cable and then the internet would work on the PC. After switching to G2, I've noticed I can't get this to happen. When I connect the USB cable I get to options in the internet connection menu which are Ethernet and Modem. I've tried selecting both of these while connected to my neighbour's wifi but nothing happens on the PC.
I'm using xdabebbs VS982.5 ROM if that's important. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers !

There is a Q&A thread for this ROM, however I've never heard of connecting that way with this ROM except with PdaNet. Have you tried the Mobile Hotspot with your data connection?
Edit: The Mobile Broadband Connect (usb) and Mobile Hotspot only work with a data connection, not wifi.

Hello there, it's not the ROM, I couldn't do this with stock either. It's weird because I could do this with pretty much any other android I've owned but the G2 is a different case. I've tried mobile hotspot and it works great on the ROM.
Would you happen to know any workaround for this ?

[Q] [A] Use mobile data instead while connected to wifi network?

Hi..
Forgive my silly question. Any way possible for xperia z to use mobile data instead wifi while connected to any wifi network?
I use to connected to wifi network with no internet access, just for transfering data.. While i want to still use internet from my mobile network. It keep act like search data through wifi network (of course it can't).. So, is there any way to force my phone to use mobile data instead wifi?
Thanks
i have the same problem
hi
have you found a way to do this?
i just bought a wireless flash drive and i realized i cant use mobile data while using it so i cant use internet while sharing/streaming data from my drive.
please, please! if you ve found a solution, please let me know
Technically phone should support multi-path transport system, but phones work in the way to minimize data usage, so wifi have priority whenever ist connected.
It could be possible to make it work with custom kernel, but its just too messed up i think...
BUT
There is an app from xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667025
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.opbyte.superdownload_lite
that technically enable both connections, but it need root, and it doesnt support ftp/p2p
Also I personally didnt use it so you should read this topic before using it, and after that just check if it work for you.
