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.
Hi,
I just wanted to ask if anybody has gotten the usb tether feature to work with a mac? I can't seem to get it to work . Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Cyanogen posted on his twitter about a problem with the tethering on windows, not sure if it applies for mac aswell
thanks for the info, will stay alert then!!
btw i know i should wait for the next release for the usb problem, but the thing is that i get the option to mount usb, but if i mount i cant see the device on my computer, and then i get a damaged sd card message on my phone... Anybody got something on this??
thanks

See if the card will mount in a reader, if not format the card on the phone. If it keeps happening you might need to buy a new card.
i tried
ok
1. you cannot have both USB tethering and USB disk support at the same time.
2. in order for the device to be picked up as a modem/networking device in mac, its gonna need drivers?
how are you supposed to get it working in linux? perhaps the same method could be done via terminal?
edit: 4.2.3.1 , M_Blend Blue b2, Mac 10.5.8 on PowerBook G4 1.67 (PPC)
edit2: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Tethering - If someone figures it out, please update this wiki to explain to the public how to do it. Thanks. I suppose this goes the same for Windows, if you find the driver that works- Share the knowledge!
hey, I'm also interested in getting this to work on a mac. It does seem like we'll need drivers of some sort, I just have no idea where/what to look for. anyone have ideas? I think i'm going to ask cyanogen via twitter, we'll see what happens

Thanks! But i wont need to buy a new one 4.2.3.1 fixed that issue !!
I just cant get the tethering to work on mac, if i find something will let you all know
Forgive me if this was addressed, but I couldn't see it in the rom thread. I'm running 4.2.3.1 and I can't seem to get the usb tether to work. I'm running windows 7, and when I first checked the box, it went through the add hardware wizard, but said the device could not be installed, and now nothing happens.....Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the issue.
Thanks
Still can't get tethering to work
I tried using my girlfriend's computer, and it worked, but I still can't get it to work on mine.
I'm running windows 7 on a dell inspiron E1505. Not sure if anyone can help. I'd really like to get this working if possible.
No reason to tether through USB... just go wireless on it. (unless you don't have a wireless adapter, I use an iMac so it's built in.)
Tethering works fine on 4.2.3.1 with the new tether 1.60pre_3. I've never tried through the USB though, but i've read it works.

mrandroid, USB tethering is a lot faster than wireless tethering. Performance is the primary motivation. I'm trying to get it working on my MacBook, but haven't succeeded yet.

I understand, but if you can't get it done don't despare... you'd be surprised how fast the wireless works. I use it all the time in the car... Tether my iTouch to the G1 lol... works great.
It's due to RNDIS and no support in 10.5 +
The method the tethering CM uses is RNDIS... Current OS X versions do *NOT* support this as it's an MS licensed implementation - some linux distro's support it under licensed terms with MS (or sideways non legal implementations)
There is an RNDIS driver for Mac but it does require some modification to get it to work.... 10.4 had internal support; Leopard and Snow Leopard *DO NOT*.
See: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X#Apple_CDC_Ethernet_driver_10.5.x (This applies to a Neo device - but same story)
If someone on Windows can grab the Networking UPNP info we can modify the source base to work ; though it will work on Leopard; no one has ported this driver yet to Snow Leopard... source: http://bugcommunity.com/downloads/files/AppleUSBCDCDriver-g_ether.326.4.1.zip
I can't get either Apple's CDC nor AJZaurusUSB driver to work in 10.5.8. Frustrating to say the least.

While I commend your efforts, if I have to go to those lengths to get usb tethering to work on os x, I'll just continue to use wireless tethering.
I'd love to see someone tackle this. I get free WiFi at tmobile hotspots on my phone, but not my pc, I could surf on my mac through usb, using the WiFi on my phone if this was implemented.
usb tethering on snow leopard?
Hello guys,
did anybody got cyanogenmod working with usb tethering on snow leopard?
Kind regards,
Thomas
i'd also love to get USB tethering working with Cyanogenmod 7.
<an URL that i can't post because i'm a new user> says that RNDIS was added back to stock OSX as of 10.5.8. i guess this is a vicious rumor and a lie? anyone have more info?
the link is the first one that currently comes up if you google for "+rndis osx 10.5.8". it's a single post at mac-forums.com.
is it only for windows? if its possible for mac, is there anything that has to be downloaded? thank you in advance...
bump. any help is appreciated
Yes it does. I've personally done it with my iMac. No additional software needed.

cool. do i use the ethernet connectivity?
No, everything just automatically works lol. I didn't have to set up ethernet or anything.I'm not sure how, but I think its definitly magic.
thats weird. i cant get mines to work. i dont know why.
Just to make sure, you've got it enabled in your phones settings right? When I get home ill take a look at my mac to see what settings I have enabled.

Im terribly sorry, I feel like such an ass. Turns out I confused the USB with the Wifi Tether. I mixed up what I did with my PC and my Mac, sitting right next to each other. But here is what I found.. did a little searching because I lead you on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416912
Theres a couple programs that might be able to help you accomplish this. Might as well give it a shot.. but if it doesn't work out tethering over wifi is what I use.
Sorry again, mate.

its okay. i cant seem to find any other tutorials in this site.
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.
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.

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).

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.
