[Q] USB tethering and Windows 7

Before someone says anything, yes drivers are installed and everything is working on the driver end of things but the problem comes when I plug in my phone and enable the USB tether the network and sharing center in Windows 7 just comes to a complete crawl, also it shows that i have a connection to the internet but i get packet loss.
Anyone else come across this, and any ideas?

Could be that its W7 X64? The drivers are installed and working correctly, what version of W7 you running?

I am also running cm6 final version. Internet works fine about five minute but my phone rebooted. I am wondering if we have similar problems. My wireless mode works fine. However with wifi I seems to run up the temperature of the way up. I worry if my phone can the heat it produce. It constantly stay up at 100 degrees. I need to fix the tethering some how.

Make it simple for the retards to understand what the problem is!

Has she tried using a different browser?

I don't think the browser is at fault. It must be something to do with the tethered network... Try switching to some other network!

Else consider upgrading to Windows 7...Put an end to all problems at one go!

Your welcome.
And for me to know the exact cause I'd need all the parameters.

Well we can't upgragde to 7 cus its a work computer and we have no admin rites. I'm not sure about the paramaters ill try and reproduce the problem and take a pic of the screen and post it. It appears to only get the blue screen when connected to my wireles tether. It was working fine at first but then the blue screen started happening. Either rite after I connect or a few minutes after. I have a tmobile g2 rooted and running cyanogen rc3. I'm using the wireless tether for root users app. Come to think of it I haveent tried the native tethering app that comes on the phones rom. When we connected the computer to a friends network with comcast internet it worked fine.

Admin rights are easy to get start in safe mode and make your account administrator. I can make a full guide if you want

Appreciated!!!

not always can you just go to safe mode, log into administrator and change your account, sometimes the administrator account is passworded itself or disabled, leaving you no way to make your account administrator unless you can *crack* the password or find another way around it
where i work we have a bootable program that just disables passwords if the user forgets it, or if they can't get administrator rights.

You can download a password removal tool online. I use it a lot at work when I dont feel like calling the customer for the password. Its faster and you dont have to talk to pissed off customers over the phone.

yeah we use [email protected] it's a really neat program and it works on xp, vista, and 7 it's a good tool. but like i said simply going to safe mode to gain administrative rights doesn't always work.

Wifi droppage

So I just lived out a nightmare trying to figure out how to ' reverse tether' so I can use my cable internet while at home and not waste my data. I Finally get it working with connectify and virtual router only to discover that I get dropped frequently and sometimes can't even reconnect with a reboot of my phone and/or pc. unfortunately I haven't been able to test it on wifi anywhere else cuz there isn't much around. Can I get some advice in things to check/change on my phone (modem?) That might keep me connected? My girlfriend has an htc and she doesn't get dropped so it's something with my phone. I'm running 2.2.1 that came with serendipity 5.11. Nobody has issues with wifi that I could find in the serendipity thread so I'm at a loss.
Thanks a bunch

Did u try flashing to stock, and re-flashing the ROM u have on urs?

Actually, no. guess I should give that a shot. Does the modem affect wifi or no?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

modem absolutely affects Wifi

I read somewhere on here that ths modem doesn't affect wifi. But them someone else said they thought it did. Do I want sure. I haven't had a chance to reflash yet but here is some additional info on my problem..
I seem to get dropped when my phone has been idle for a while. Like right now I am connected but when I am done writing this and I set my phone down itll be disconnected when I come back to it 9 out of 10 times. I got dropped just before writing this in the same way. I connected, set my phone down, came back maybe 15 minutes later and I was disconnected. I was on connectify at the time and couldn't reconnect. I closed connectify and launched virtual router which I am connected with now. Changing the tether program doesn't always work. Sometimes I have to restart my phone too. I have a feeling I need to look into a different modem.

Seriously?! anyone get the Nexus 7 to work without wifi?

Short Story: Is there anyway to make the nexus start working without WiFi?
Long Story: Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine for about a month ago. So there I was the day of the Google I/O conference refreshing the google play store over and over again until the moment I could order my Nexus 7. Needless to say I ordered it the minute I could. Today I recieved my Nexus 7. It took a while to get here. I picked it up from the mailroom three hours ago. I let it charge and turned it on. First screen asks for my country. Second screen says searching for WiFi. And there I sit because , I don't have WiFi. Is there a workaround for this? Or do I have a $250 paperweight, until I get home later this year?
I can't be the only one with this problem.
Resources available to me:
1) I have a laptop that is connected to very slow internet (ethernet, not wireless). It has USB ports, but I don't think theres a way to share internet through USB. I can not attach a wifi router to this network.
2) I have WiFi where I sleep, but I need to open a browser and put in a username and password to log in. I don't think that will work because I can't get to the web browser part of this.
My last resort is to mail it back home to have family activate it and then mail it back to me. Kind of absurd. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh
EDIT************
ATTN TROLLS: before replying and looking stupid, make sure to read the whole thread. The problem has been resolved. I even explained how I resolved it for other people with potentially the same problem. I have also clearly explained why I bought the Nexus 7. A tablet is a tablet. Without WiFi it still lets me read books, play games, do Sudoku puzzles, and watch episodes that I bring back on a USB thumb drive. I used it to replace my Nook Color running CM7. I have enough WiFi back in my room to browse the web and check my email.
Thanks to everyone that offered constructive help.
To the trolls, I hope you get pushed down a slide of razors into a pool of acid.

Does the laptop ha e wifi, if so you can share the wired internet connection wirelessly via connnectify

You wouldn't happen to have a neighbor with an open network you could leach off of do you?

That seems like a serious oversight if this is the case.

This, seems easy enough. Go get a coffee

Well, if you are rooted (should be able to root without setting up) then you can just kill the 'setup', process through adb on your pc. You could also try to flash a ROM without that set up process. Like CM
I thought this when I was setting up my tablet and wondered when would happen if someone didn't have wi fi available immediately.

Or this. But hey, go grab a coffee, then root.

I had wifi and it still couldn't detect it when i turned it on! I panicked and i sat there at the first screen bevause there was no option to manually enter wifi settings. My network has secure and ssid off, but couldn't even see neighbours (ssid on).
But I tethered insecure net from phone to get past first screen. Should be able to borrow a friend's internet this way, it doesn't download much.
I have no idea how you plan to use the n7 w/o wifi, at least during setup, it is in terms of service...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Not sure if this still works, but you used to be able to bypass activation by touching all four corners of the device. Top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left.

I tried the four corners thing. It didn't work. Unfortunately there are no McDonalds or Starbucks near me. I only have these two networks to work with. I bough it to replace my Nook (CM7), which I use to watch episodes of TV shows. I bring the mSD card to work, and put episodes on it, then bring it back to the room and watch them till I fall asleep. With the Nexus I was intent on copying my episodes over through the ethernet cable by day, and taking it back to the room to watch them at night. I guess I'll have to keep watching my shows on my Nook. Sucks. New toy is useless.

This would work. Unfortunately I can't connect anything wireless to this network. I might try to sneak this solution. This is the second to last resort. Thanks for the advice/idea!

I take it u can't skip the sign in like on phones, if u have no way of getting on a wifi network, you can possibly try to kill the setup process via adb...its not really a google oversight, its 2012 WiFi networks are rather easy to find.

I guess I'm just lucky enough to be where they aren't easy to find.

I have no cell phone coverage here. Although I might be able to use my cell phone to connect to the wireless back at the room, use the cell phone web browser to log on, then tether it to my Nexus. That might work. I'll try that tonight.

use a WIFI dongle to attach to your laptop. make it a hotspot using "connectify" software and connect your nexus to it. your laptop must have internet access.

setup aside, how did you plan on managing files etc on the n7 long term without wifi?
Seems there are other products more suited to your needs if you aren't going to use any online or network features.

[Q] Nexus 7 16GB and 3G Internet access via mobile phone

Hi,
I am new to mobile solutions and I have been thinking recently - if it was possible (and reliable) to use a non-3G Nexus 7 connected to a regular non-smartphone for ad-hoc Internet access?
Here is the scenario and justification for the solution (correct me if I am wrong in my thinking please):
I mostly use older type business mobile phones that hold battery for a long time.
No need for fancy apps and all fireworks. I use it only for business calls and texts.
I would like to get the 16GB Nexus 7 for personal organizer functionality. I think WiFi access would suffice for me.
Now, for the rare occasion, I would like to know if it is possible to connect both devices (via Bluetooth maybe?) to use the mobile phone as internet access point for the tablet?
I know with smartphones it would be easy as I could create a WiFi hot-spot and connect the tablet using WiFi, however I don't want to sacrifice the battery life of my phone by getting a smartphone.
Just to summarize - I need a long battery life phone that can (occasionally) serve internet access for the Nexus 7.
Does my solution make sense? Is such setup possible?
Thank you for your time and help.
Mike

I don't think that you would get a satisfying data transmission speed even if your scenario could be set up.

This is exactly what I am thinking about. Thanks for pointing me in a right direction Roadrunner.
I will do a bit of searching on that then, however if there is anyone who already tested this sort of setup then I would be most grateful for sharing the experiences here.
Thanks.

This will obviously depend on what kind of phone you have, but have you looked into PDAnet? I use that on my android phone to do bluetooth vpn to my tablet. try looking into that.

What about a Mifi? It just uses a 3g sim and creates a WiFi hotspot around itself.
Don't know what the battery life on them is like though...

FYI a stock nexus 7 will not communicate with ad-hoc WiFi APs.
So you would need to root the N7 and use a custom kernel (right now that's CM10.1 nightlies, possibly others) if the other device provides the connectivity via ad-hoc WiFi.
I do something similar with a WiFi N7 and an older (rooted, gingerbread) Android phone. Works fine, although the battery consumption and temperature rise of the phone is pretty significant (two radios running simultaneously).
If the mobile phone was not originally marketed to do WiFi tethering, be aware that it may not have a thermal design that is adequate for continuous data transfer on both radios. Light browsing is probably fine though.
