i just bought my droind from verizon and was told that there is a way to get my laptop on the internet from my phone. thanx in advance
Yes. The easiest way is PDAnet. This uses a USB connection from comp to phone. Download at junefrabrics.com You can try the free version. The paid version allows access to https sites. It works well. The more difficult solution is to root your phone and download WiFi tether from the market for Wifi tethering. Root instructions at droid-life.com
or you can wait for Froyo which should have a tethering option but expect to pay Verizon $20/month.
thank you for your response, i just want to be able to surf the web on my laptop from my phone. is it necessary to get the paid version? thanx again for your help.
The paid version isn't necessary unless you want to go to a site that begins with https: (a secure site). Try the free version you can purchase if you need to. Btw rooting is not that hard Kellex has some excellent vids on Droid-Life.com.

I'm planning on rooting my G1 soon and I'm wondering is there the option to do USB tethering instead of wifi/bluetooth tethering?
( I know about the non-root PAID app )
There's PDAnet. Don't know if thats the one you talking about but it's not on the market tho.
Just google search for PDAnet and you will get what you are looking for
thanks but pdanet is a paid app and is way overpriced. $30? I could USB tether for free when I had my MDA.
You can get it free.
You can get the trial of PdaNet here, but it's limited to http. Oh well, I'm happy with WiFi tehtering, it's windows only anyway so it's useless to me =P Sorry but I don't think anything else supports USB :-/
Try Proxoid. Youre gonna need ADB installed.
proxy SOCKS sucks in my opinion but it gets the job done.
Glad i bought a bluetooth adapter.
Manually switching from proxy to wireless was a pain in the ass.
I recently bought the Captivate hoping to get some juice out of that phone by using Pdanet or Easy Tether, and I just couldn't do it. I can tether using my Motorola Backflip but cannot using my Captivate. Is there an application that I need to download in order to tether my phone? or what am I doing wrong that my old Motorola seems to work fine and the Captivate can't . Thanks a bunch for any info.
The captivate makes juice....? NICE!
Lol do you have the drivers required? Download kies and update it for some hassle free drivers that auto install.

Here's the USA Samsung site link to their drivers: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/s...ptivate&searchInputBox=captivate&find_button=
I know the mass storage option works without drivers, but I don't know about PDA net tethering. I haven't tried the drivers listed above but I did have problems with the computer freezing all the time with drivers I installed from another site and the problem continued after installing Kies. I just wanted to post the driver link to the Samsung site. Hopefully these are better.
You probably just need the correct drivers installed. I personally had to get mine from samsungs official website because the drivers that were being passed around in this forum wouldn't even install for me. So if you have problems go and get the drivers from Samsungs website and you should be fine.
I to have just purchased the Captivate. And now I am trying to get the tether deal on it. And I hear good stuff about the PDAnet, And Easy Tether. They are also not in the app market. I have one problem where the heck did you guys get these apps. My device is root and ready to install 3rd party apps but I really want to tether and I just don't know how. One more thing I am trying to tether with my MAC. And I see there are lots of apps that won't work with a MAC. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

To find those apps you need to make sure the market isn't restricted. What i do is turn on airplane mode and then i turn on WiFi and kill the market process and then look for the apps. To get the restricted market back just kill the market process again and turn off airplane mode
HI thoughtlesskyle,
Does this build work with pdanet for usb tethering? I tried installing the software for my PC on Win7 32-bit but the drivers won't install and the phone is detected as an HTC Vogue even though I have a Kaiser. Also, is there anyone here who has been able to successfully connect a Kaiser to a PC with Win7? I tried dual mount SD without success.

z4root was pulled from the AT&T market over the weekend.
You can check this out: ponack.net (can't link cause I'm new here, sorry)
Gives you rooting instructions and (if wanted) instructions for installing the Cognition ROM...of course you can substitute your fav ROM instead.

Download the Samsung one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&page=25 and download google's Wifi tether app or Barnacle wifi from market. If you can't find it in the market, you can use Market Enabler from the market to fool the market into thinking you are on TMobile.
Anything new on the tether without a root. Can't seem to find any of the programs that people talk about.
Thanks
dont mean to hijack but it has to do with captivate tethering..

yea it should b possible but not very usefull since most pc's connect through wifi anyways so it would probely b more efficient to use wifi on your phone through your home network by installing a wireless router unless you are hard wired in which case u would need some kind of mobile hotspot type of program using wifi or bluetooth also usb of some sorts
problem solved with the newest version of connectify.
edit: well, my problem anyways.
Talked my buddy into a Gtab after giving him a test drive on mine...
1 problem, his smart phone is through Sprint and he uses a Black Berry.
He connects his LT to the internet with a USB cable and his BB.
I thought I could set him up through Bluetooth, but I cant figure out how to tether the connection.
I can "pair" the 2 together no problem, but I dont have a clue how to make the internet connection.
He uses a Sprint program on his LT, so I'm wondering if there's a program that would do the same on the Gtab...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

I can get the 2 to "pair" without a problem, what I need is a terminal app to use the BB as a modem.
I know they do this on the iPad's all the time for the wifi only users.
I dont have enough experience with the Android OS to set this up.
I'm not even sure how to tether the Gtab to an Android phone.
Really need some help on this one or told it's not an option.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't do usb/bluetooth tethering atm . Unless someone manage to port over archos tethering protocol/tethering wizard.

I don't think it's an option direct from the GTab to the BB. I've been trying to get this to connect with my Storm 2, and have had no luck at all with it. Like you, I can pair the devices, but they won't connect. The only tethering software I can see that was worth a shot was Tether, and they don't support BB to Android.
Someone else in another thread pointed out a possible solution, a Cradlepoint CTR-350 Cellular Travel Router. You can connect your BB to create the access point, then connect the GTab to the 350. Runs about $77.00 from what I can tell online.

Keep me posted if you try this out....
Does blackberry have any hotspot apps?
My wife uses a Nokia N97, and purchased the Joikuspot hotspot app. The G-tab can see the Nokia's hotspot once the ad-hoc wifi hack is installed.
Will do, but the more I look the more I like the CradlePoint PHS300 Personal Hotspot. Little more expensive, but might be worth it since it's battery powered.

Good point... I pulled the Cradlepoint 350 up on line and it was AC only...
I also like the suggestion about "HOT SPOT" app on the BB... Haven't checked that as of yet....
If we can get this through software, that would be so much better...
He uses a Sprint program on the laptop to connect so we know it has the
capabilities to work as a modem and he has internet access.
I'm wondering how the iPad folks use their phones to connect to the internet.
I know most have the WIFI only models and they tether through their phones.
He just ordered the 300.....
They are running a holiday special of $99 dollars and that includes a free second backup battery....
Regular price was over 200 with shipping.... Cost him 109 with shipping...
He figures he can use the hot spot for other users also. It supports up to 16 users at once.
His Sprint card was listed as a option so this is even a better solution.
Huge thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

What app would you run on the Gtab to make the connection?
Bump...
Anyone have any more information on this, either the bluetooth pda net or using that 300?
Thanks!
Install pdanet and creat your hotspot. Once that is done go to your wireless setting and connect to the hotspot.

??? I have PDANet on my Black Berry and PDANet on my GTab. On the BB, I selected Enabled Bluetooth DUN. The same thing for the GTab. Doesn't do anything.
I suspect both are listening for something to connect to them. Not sure how this is supposed to work.
I'm using it with wifi via my iphone...
Ah, that must be the key. You can't do it via bluetooth. You have to have a wifi connection to your phone.
The original posting asked how to do this via bluetooth.
PDAnet via usb requires a client on the client computer. I contacted PDAnet if they would create an android client for tablets and their answer, atleast for now, is we are SOL. Use BT DUN. But like the OP I cannot get my G tab to connect, only pair with my droid x or Aria. I don't know what is supposed to happen after turning on the BT DUN in PDAnet. Should the G tablet then be able to connect? Does some other software need to be run on the gtab to allow DUN connection?
Need some help guys!
Okay so I've been using wifi tethering (root version) for my netbook for a long time. 2 days ago I was on the city bus and I tried to tether while the bus was moving and all of the sudden my PC web browser was 'redirected to a cricket web page' telling me to buy device tethering for $10.
So later I decided to do a hard reset and reinstall my apps. I decided to try barnacle since the other tethering app couldn't work anymore. Barnacle works by the way but I now have another problem.
Now most of the time that I click a url link below the search results from my yelp app, my dolphin hd mini browser redirects me to Cricket web page hassling me to buy device tethering for $10.
Is there a workaround or fix to this? I don't want to call the Cricket 800 phone number #.
Have same problem, they want 10 a month. There cheap !

It does it on all, maybe try google's app. Search wireless tethering and checkit out.

Hey DarkkEnergy I had the same problem but i figured out a work around and i take it that you are using a windows based operating system like i was well if you dont want to pay the 10 bucks all you need to do is install a linux based operating system (dual boot would be best a virtual machine still has to get the Internet connection from windows and thats where cricket is stopping it) well i tested my theory on Linux Mint 12 and also ubuntu 11.10 and it works im using my zio to type this message on my laptop a this very moment hope this helped and if you have any questions about linux feel free to ask not that good with it but ill be willing to help

as far as a work around goes thats kind of a pain in the butt. ( no offense kountry ) and to CRICKET What the hell!!!!! what happened to unlimited everything for $55?!?!? Just cause i use the phone to tether to my laptop when my internet service is suck ( clear-wire Really blows in my area) you throw the hammer down?!? what a load of Crap! if i knew more about how these bastards were detecting tethering ( and how to program ) i would build a Tether app that would disguise the traffic as standard web browsing through the linux kernel of the phone Just to SPITE them. Granted, I have no idea how to accomplish this but hopefully someone who knows more about Programming will pick up a few ideas from this post. ( please let me know if theres anything i can do to help if you do)
I got this tonight--first on the laptop, then on the phone. I was able to get my phone browser to work again by going to incognito mode under the browser menu/incognito mode. After searching for others with this new issue, I made an account through the phone, then had to go to my email (via email app), then back into the browser. This time, started out of incognito mode, but it put me right through to get here to post this. Haven't tried using tether again.
