EasyTether on HTC Vogue - Touch CDMA Android Development

I recently installed Wyn's Warm Donut rom of Android on my HTC's NAND memory, and it is working good except that I can't get it to tether over USB.
I've tried EasyTether and TetherBot, and neither seem to work. EasyTether tells me that it can find the device, but can't establish a connection (USB debugging is on), while the ADB program for tetherbot can't even find my device.
Any tips on fixing this?

I'd been using PdaNet.
I had it working, but it has been finicky. Lately I haven't gotten it to acknowledge the phone is connected.
I never had luck with EasyTether. I'm running WarmDonut v3. Haven't upgraded to v4 yet. I got slow speeds before upgrading my kernel (to the latest post 3/26), after upgrading PdaNet worked much faster. However, like I said, it didn't always work.
I found it helped to use the ADB driver floating around here (which is 1.0.0.5 I think), rather than the one that comes with EasyTether (1.0.0.9). It seemed to recognize the phone more.

I tried pdanet, and it installed, but after connecting, it immediately disconnects, and I get the following error:
Abnormal Disconnect:Read header returned error (code=31)

Also, how can I check and see what version of the rom I have? I might try upgrading, but I'm unsure whether I have the latest kernel/version though.

i think easytether is pretty nice. i never have problems with it. you installed the pc thing that comes with it too right?

Yep. Followed all the instructions to the letter. Still didn't seem to work.

Find a copy of Dual SD Mount (search for com.protocol.x.USB.v1.6.6).
Install this widget, turn it on and you will have no more tethering problems.

Exactly.
I do the same thing.
Once I activate the widget I get the message "SD Split Activated" and all connectivity to my PC works perfectly.

automount should do the same thing. and its free. open the app after you install it and check the box to enable it. Only downfall to this app is storage card is not available on your phone while your plugged into computer. Dual mount lets you.

i have no clue. i just plugged it in and it said installing device drivers

I just started using this... holy hell it drops so much... seems like anytime I do any of the following it drops:
A) access SD card drive from my PC
B) access data on phone
C) leave idle for more than 1/2 minutes

Android help...

How can I see a list of installed programs (and potentially remove them) even those in the ROM?
I installed that SD Mount fix application, but I see no icon for it, and it doesn't seem to work... I did power down my phone and restart it.
Task manager? Is there one without installing it? I know there is one that's suppose to be bound to a hardware key, but we can't get to it...
Sorry I'm a noob... any good sites for learning about android?
I found in Settings the app list...
But still, SD Share is installed but I have no icon for it anywhere that I can find. Can anyone help?

Hi everyone, still having some issues. I hope you can help...
First of all, I seem to be stuck in airplane mode. WHen I got to settings wireless controls it's not checked, but long hold down the red key shows it's on. I have no airplane mode icon in the top portion of my screen.
Secondly, and this is how it got started, the Facebook application wouldn't upload a picture... it went to 80% the first time I tried it, then I killed it, and tried again and never got passed 0%. It was at this point I decided to try to turn off and back on the data and got stuck in the mode I'm in...
Should I upgrade to 3.42.50 radio, I'm on .30. Using Alltel phone on VZW network...

Using the ROMUpdateUtility... I said f'it though and flashed the Bell ROM that had it included, didn't let customizations run then flashed back to Android...
I really can't decide between the two common resolutions... Does everything work correctly in the lower one, maybe a bit of clipping and it's clearer? Hard to decide...

your internet probably wont work in android cause you have to let it provision in wm first. 240x320 looks crystal clear but nothing fits right. 320x480 is a tad fuzzy but its not that bad. plus everything fits right. 320x428 is right in the middle. its pretty clear but most of the stuff fit. i use 320x480 cause i cant stand the fact that nothing fits in the other resolutions
My internet is working fine...I'm curious if I'm getting RevA EVDO though, it seems a bit slower than it was in WinMo...
Do I need to setup an APN? I noticed the two listed are TMobile and Tellus... Maybe this would speed up my internet? Anyone know?
My Windows Mobile was setup on alltel... [email protected] or whatever...
I tried to Google Alltel APN setup and came up blank...
Hello, after doing more research, I read that CDMA carriers don't require APN settings. Is this true? Should I just delete out all the APNs in the Settings on my Touch (Alltel/Verizon)?
Also, can someone tell me about the network operators screen? Do I ever need to use it. When I go into it, it says 'Searching...' but never completes. I have to back out.

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.

And do yourself a favor: Start with a livecd. It downloads small and is easy to test without jumping through too many hoops.

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.

tethering not available?

i'm on att, but can't seem to get the phone to tether..any idea? i'm guessing i need to root the phone to get an after market tether app?

does this need to be installed on all computers i use? or as long as the phone has this app?
It says just Phone, but at&t blocked it so you can't see it from the app store.
You can install it from within the PC app.
You should be able to run it without a PC app via Bluetooth once the app is on the phone, but I havn't tried it.

Yea, was using it with my Backflop, then when I got the Aria I pushed the phone software down and it worked first time. I have NOT tried it with Bluetooth tethering, only with wired tethering. It works over the adb bridge, so it works on most android devices.
It appears as though tethering IS available without the need for any modifications to your Aria. Install Easy Tether via wifi without the sim card, and apparently it works (still waiting on mine from FedEx).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710593
Yup....works like a charm. Aria, new out of the box, removed SIM card, downloaded Easy Tether via wifi, and I'm on. Also, I was able to download all the apps that are "blocked" by ATT - no need for any crazy rooting or in depth programing. This is an amazing phone - very impressed so far.

[Q] "you can not switch usb mode while in test mode"

I bricked my phone last nite, and was able to fix it with the help of some really great people, Anyway it was stuck on lg logo and I flashed rom and dll in lgnpst and now phone boots up fine. I cannot put my phone in usb mass storage or internet connection, there is no usb option at all that pulls up in tray. Everytime I plug the cable in, it says" you can not switch usb mode while in test mode" What is test mode? does this have to do with the rom? I have tried downloading a usb app from market but it doesnt fix it. please help. How can I load anything on my sd card if I cannot access it

Welcome to test mode! Sucks, and I have yet to find a way out of it. You can Google how to use adb to push files to your sdcard or you can use an adapter and a card reader.

all that sounds nice and dandy but this phones comes with 16gb internal memory and I can't access any of it thru my computer, I can't load music photos or anything onto it. So it is all pretty much useless

If he can't set the phone to "internet connection" then he has no USB Debugging, therefore ADB commands won't work. Right?

You can pull the external 16 GB SD card (next to SIM card) & transfer files from your PC with the correct "Micro SD to SD card adapter" & put it in a USB reader. There might even be a micro SD card reader on the market, now. I know it doesn't cure your USB problem, but then you can transfer files back & forth...

Does anyone know if there is any type of fix to this? Only thing I can think of is: before my phone bricked everything worked then when I used lgpnst to fix it I got the issue with test mode. So maybe can I use lgpnst with an original rom, would it fix it?

Mt our developer said a little while ago that he hasn't found a way to get it out of test mode.

well that is a complete waste of 16gb, i can't put my phone in usb mode, internet mode or usb storage mode. so all I can virtually use is the sd card if I swap things out of the phone which includes taking battery out all the time, so annoying. I think I will sell this phone on Craigslist and buy another Revolution or another phone. I have only had it for about 3 days and its already in test mode.

honestly there is nothing more to it then that took about 1 minute to set it all up then LGNPST did all the work, very simple, I just don't know why no one else on Google could figure this out or at least post a guide to it if they did, feel free to make a post in the development section, can't wait for mtmichaelson to see this and fix his phone to,

Whats with the USB OTG on this phone.

Coming from a long line of LG's, I do have to say I loved that LG's UI automatically recognized the USB and didnt need any apps to run it, and all other apps recognized it as well. So why doesnt the Nexus 6 do this? I am using stick mount but there are apps that dont recognize this, like with my G2 since it didnt have an SD card, so to save space i would setup titanium backup to store directly to the USB, but now it doesnt recognize it.
anyone have any ideas on how to work around this?
Custom ROMs can build automount in. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but have a read of the threads
Sorry if this seems like a flame, but stop posting the same junk all over....you posted in the two other threads, and now you went and created a third for what is probably your issue.
I have Stickmount working as expected on Stock, MeanPop and BlissPop. Its seen in Root Explorer and I can get it seen by TiBu (even though TiBu says its not writeable, it actually is).

I have Stickmount working as expected on Stock, MeanPop and BlissPop. Its seen in Root Explorer and I can get it seen by TiBu (even though TiBu says its not writeable, it actually is).

stickmount may mount it but it doesnt automatically allow third party apps to see it. I have several apps that I use to use withmy OTG and they can no longer recognize it. and my first question was about doing it period, so dont be an ass. its a simple questions as to why the Nexus doesnt automatically do it. and so far I havent had any of the custom roms I have tried automatically mount it.

That is not a simple question. At least not to us, since none of us were present at any google meetings where this was either decided against or not discussed.

I can't tell you any that have it. I assume Slim will have it in the future when their 5.1 ROM progresses as they had it previously on KK devices. Actually it's really only the kernel that needs to mount it in the fstab, but it is always nice to have ROM support too, where it is shown in the storage menu.
What apps do you have that cannot recognise OTG? All stick mount does is put it in a folder on your sdcard. I expect all apps can browse to folders on sdcard?

thanks for your input. the original post should have asked about the transfer speeds as well, but thats not my biggest concern. quickpic use to automatically load everything up on as soon as the usb was mounted, but I havent tried it lately with any of the AOSP roms. I always liked the LG UI and never liked AOSP but since I see that stock google looks similar to AOSP that I have taken an interest to learn about them and play with their features and Euphoria 1.1 has it under storage settings but it doesnt do anything when I insert my usb. so it may still be being worked on or I could try a kernel that has it supported to see if that would do it.
but on older phones that never had SD cards I would use by USB for my Titanium Backup storage, but even with stickmount the app still wont notice it. I am going to try a few things that someone told me earlier and see if that works. my backups can become quite large and that valuable space when you only have 32gb.
so if yall have any ideas to try, let me know and I will be happy to give them a shot
Ah figured it out.. I realized I was still running my USB in exfat and once I reformatted it back to fat32 titanium now see's it.. Will have to play more to see if all is working right now

Ah cool. Yeah ExFat isn't going to help unless you're on a Samsung - if they still indeed support that.

My LG's supported it, but I hate the limitation on Fat32 when you need to transfer files larger than 4gb

Yep it's a pain. ExFAT is microsoft proprietary. I'm surprised some vendors even use it. Some custom Kernels may allow use of NTFS or something. FAT32 is my only option because I have to plug into Windows and Linux systems.

I'm honestly surprised some new format hasn't been adapted, file sizes are getting to be so big now something will have to change soon.. I hope at least

OK, so now I have a new problem, maybe you have a work around. Since stickmount shows up under the SD card, the system counts its storage space with the space on the phone. So even tho its a 64gb USB, it won't transfer thinking there is is not enough space on the disk. Any ideas?

I think you're stuck on that one. The best way would be to mount it independently using the fstab of a custom kernel.

Yes, I have been meaning to try out a kernel with support but just keep forgetting. Will definitely have to do it today. Thanks man
