Database Develop

aNetShare + T-Mobile = Fail?

I've noticed in more recent builds of Soulife's Rogers ROM that the aNetShare app (which, according to the developers isn't available in the T-Mobile US app market), won't properly turn my phone into an access point anymore.
I know for a fact that it has worked in the past. I think the last time I used it successfully was with JF's 1.43 build.
Has anyone had any luck with this app and a Hero or Rogers ROM? Or anything cupcake for that matter?
I favor this app over Wifi Tether for the simple fact that you can see and filter out users easily so that you can have a (somewhat) secured connection.
TIA

You can see and filter out other people in wifi tether to.

As a matter of fact, you can also enable WEP security in WT4R, which while not completely crack-proof, actually provides some real security. Also, WT4R can tether via Bluetooth, which consumes less power than Wi-Fi. This allows the phone to consume less than the 500mW provided by USB, meaning your battery will not deplete while tethered.
Of course I haven't even mentioned one of the most important differences (especially for a root app): WT4R is open source.

Agreed with all the people pimping WT4R - it's a slick program, can't think of anything else I need in a tethering app. Access control, view connected clients, use WEP encryption (ok, so WPA would be good - but WEP is better than nothing), use Bluetooth. Can even share the WiFi link via Bluetooth, which might be handy for sharing WiFi to a friend's non-WiFi phone.

Searching for tether in the market returns nothing for Wifi Tether for Root Users. Do you have a link?
I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of the market search function, you know, being as Google is a search company and all, and approx 3/5 apps I search for don't return, even when I search for a term that's in the effing NAME of the app.
Pretty stupid.

Ok, I found the app in the Dream Apps forum. I've got it installed and it is freaking sweet. Anyone having problems with aNetShare would be well-advised to just uninstall and install "android-wifi-tether" aka "signed_and_Tether1.51" aka "Wireless Tether for Root Users".

You can find a link for wifi teather for root users on cyanogensmod 3.6.5 thread in the faqs.

@ op, I use anetshare + tmo on Ion, play pokerstars for sometimes hours @ a time with no problems. wifi-tether for root seems to disconnect/hang more for me :/

You didn't find it on the market not because the market's search function is broken, but rather that it isn't on the market at all. Tether apps are forbidden from the official market.
It is the first returned entry for a Google search for "wifi tether for root" (or even just "wifi tether"), so I really don't see why you had so much difficulty locating it.

JF 1.51 USA Tmobile, I use anetshare all the time. After it downloaded its own tether bundle it was all smooth.
Granted it does glitch up sometimes.. like it acts like no one is connected when my PC really was. Trick I learned about this is that if you fool around with the wifi enable/disable or if power manager does its thing.. you may lose your link after the G1 goes to sleep. So I have my G1 hooked up to power, screen never on timeout. Wifi on. Always stayed stable then.
Oh yea, I play FFXI using Edge speed via the wifi from the g1. I think thats stable and fast enough. =D Cant wait till 3G hits.. no more getting DCed since someone texts or calls.

Wifi really slow?

Anyone else's nook have really slow/sporadic wifi? Mine seems to burst, then come to a crawl and sometimes not do anything at all. The dropbox app is basically useless as it fails to download 99% of the time. The browsers are all slow too. I have wireless N and a 16Mbit connection at home so it's not my internet. My Evo downloads and runs 100x faster than my nook, on 3G.

I'm not having any issues.

None of those issues here on home wifi or tether to Evo. Dropbox is one of my newest fav programs and hasnt stopped an in progress DL once..

I am not seeing any sort of weird "slowness", but I will say that Opera Mobile is, **by far**, the best browser for this device in terms of performance.

yeah it does the same for me. reboot it. it works well on that for while, and sometimes turning wifi off, then back on will help.

Yes this happens to me, more often I would like and there are times when it just seems to stop but the wifi is at full bars (what ever they are called). I have noticed that when I check the wifi in the Nook settings the wifi will say "connected-testing", this means it is not connecting, it "sees" the signal but no data is being transfered, turning it on and off usually does the trick. When it says "connected to the internet", data is being transfered.

I too have ridiculously slow network connections. It is almost useless in some apps. But browser seems to be okay.

Can you guys that are having this issue post your Wifi settings and Router models perhaps there is a commonality on this,
Personally I have had no trouble out of mine, Using Wireless N, WPA2, off a Netgear WNDR 3400

I have been experiencing the slow wifi also. Downloading apps from Market is like 1KB/sec.
Running Nookie 0.6.7 from SD card (class 4). Using WPA2 AES.

I'm having slow wifi problems on a new Class 10 (supposedly) froyo install as well.
Not just wifi, too. It seems to go off to lala-land for a few seconds when I try to do much of anything. Scrolling and things like that still respond, but the apps themselves freeze.

Ok, so that is Two people using Froyo having the wifi problem? what rom are you other guys using?
I have not had this problem and I'm Running Rooted 1.1
Perhaps this is a issue with the Froyo build?

My nook was rooted on 1.0 and I'm running stock 2.1 android and I'm having the same problems

My nook's connection is unbearably slow on my home connection, which is wireless b/g with WPA PSK. If connect anywhere else (except for a Border yesterday) it does not have this problem.

Also have the "connection testing" problem. I am returning mine to Best Buy - will advise.
ROM 1.0.1 problem not as bad
ROM 1.1.0 problem unacceptable...
Both rooted...

Yes, it's definitely only a froyo issue with me. My rooted 1.1 stock rom is zip-zip-zippy.
I've tried froyo installs four times (both the std and mod versions) on a Class 4 and a Class 10 card. All had wifi issues and general sluggishness. And yet I see people saying froyo is quick. Hmmm....

This is a hardware problem. I had the identical symptom - tried all sorts of apps (softlocker, etc...)
Just returned by exchanging my NC at Best Buy and the problems are gone. I am at 1.1 with Monster Pack 0.7.
The offending NC serial no is 2010 110 0650xxxx
The good NC serial no is 2010 110 1509xxxx
So make sure the SN of the replacement unit is higher!

I've had this problem since the day I bought my nook.
A couple of things I've found...
1) The problem is with how the nook handles wifi. My college wifi is a piece of crap, and everything has problems connecting. Nook won't/can't establish a reliable connection.
2) I have no problems with wifi using DeeperBlue's HoneyComb. Hell, HC can get a better signal than my notebook. If I can get that to install market, I'll just run that off the sdcard. Battery life seems better there too.
3) If you get internet at B&N, then it's not a hardware problem. Every Nook of any kind has the same problems that i'm having.(on this network)
a couple of solutions I found.
1) Connectify. Nook doesn't really like it, but it works better than no intertubes.
2) Reboot the wifi. It works sometimes.
3) pray?

I've been having odd wifi problems with my NC, and I'm at my end with this.
My NC is stock, unrooted v.1.1. I can boot from one of two Nookie Froyo SD cards (one with an OC kernel, another vanilla).
Quite simply, the Android side will no longer connect to the internet, Marketplace, etc. The B&N stock side does just fine.
The Android side worked briefly -- out-of-the-box, I connected it to an open network and got on the Marketplace, whereupon it locked up on me. I put it away, and didn't pick it up until yesterday, at which time I found that no matter which SD card I used, there's nothing doing on wireless networking. While Android finds and connects to open or secured networks, I can't bring up a webpage, go to email, check the Market, you name it.
I don't think this is a hardware issue given that the Stock side can get online (albeit slowly at times). What the eff is going on with my Android side? Should I start over and build up *yet another* card? What can I do to diagnose and solve this?
I'm willing to return this NC, but I don't see the point if I'm somehow doing something to "break" the wireless connectivity in installing apps and pushing files and customizing the install (and whatever else) in creating my Nookie Froyo cards.
Any tips or suggested resources are greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem with Stock, Rooted with Autonooter, and Froyo boot from sd card. I changed the settings on my router to WEP security from AES and now have no problems with it.

On the unit that I exchanged, I had problems with both secured (WPA2) and unsecured (Wifi N). The exchange seemed to fix it...

Wireless sleep issue.

There have been many posts from people asking about wireless sleep issues. I have recently resolved the problem for myself and i'd like to share.
Original problem: Whenever my Nook would go to sleep, I would have to turn wireless off and then on to make it reconnect. This only happened when I was using my work's wifi. At home and with my wireless tethering I never had an issue. I did set the wifi sleep policy to never in spare parts. This did not fix it. My temporary solution was some tasker scripts to automate it. This was annoying as it took a bit to execute.
Solution: my device was originally rooted with stock 1.0.1 software. When I read the patch notes for the b&n stock rom 1.1.0 update, I was happy to see an update to the wifi. So, I flashed the stock rom, sideloaded the 1.1.0 update and re-rooted. My work's wifi no longer crashes out on sleep.
Thoughts: I have no idea why my work's wifi acts this way. We have many devices connected to it, and this was the only with any issues at all. I'm also kinda impressed that b&n puts out as many updates as they do. And that they're useful.

[Q] wifi tether issues, rooted NC + Droid 1

Brand, spanking new NC, came with updated software version already installed. Freshly rooted. Won't recognize ad hoc networks, of course :-(
Already tried the most up to date wpa_supplicant file fix, to absolutely no avail. Using rooted droid 1, with well-functioning wireless tether. Barnacle also a no go.
Any suggestions would very appreciated. Pulling my hair out, one by one, getting balder...balder.......

What does this mean?

Thanks for your help. What I mean is that the wpa supplicant fix (as described in previous threads - I'm using the Droid 1 browser or I would link back to that xda thread - sorry!) produces no effect. When the NC scans for wireless sources it recognizes many hotspots. Including my home wifi router. It simply will not list the phone's ad hoc signal (called either android tether or barnacle, depending which turned on.) The winbox connects just fine, so I don't think it's the phone's signal.
Others have used the wpa supplicant fix and their NC has worked well, but from what I can tell, they have NC's that were not upgraded to latest version, or had upgraded themselves. I wonder if brand new NC with the upgrade installed, needs a different fix. Not to be paranoid, but the wireless tethering apps have fallen out of favor with the powers that be. Maybe there is more disabling going on --- or I could just be doing something wrong. (Would not be a surprise)

Has anyone with a NC that came with the update pre-installed been able to get wifi tether? Using a phone with the paid wifi hotspot function will work with the NC. However, the droid 1 does not have a paid wireless hotspot option (it's too ancient, apparently). I had to sideload the wireless app to my phone, as it's not available on the market anymore, andit works well - just not with NC, even with the standard wpa supplicant fix.
Would upgrading the NC to CM7 take care of this issue? I'm a children's doc with skimpy hacking skills, & am a little afraid to try the procedure. Like doing an appendectomy with without knowing human anatomy

Wireless tether is working perfectly for me with CM7 right from the get-go, however....It does not work with Honeycomb at the moment (and I have not done the supplicant fix yet).

Thanks, hockeyfamily. I should probably go ahead and do the CM7 ROM.

update
Still have rooted v 1.2, not yet CM7. What finally worked for enabling ad hoc wifi, was deleting everything i had done previously, redoing it over again, & using Barnacle. The Wireless Tether app just giving a message to the effect that it was 'connected, but no internet.'

I updated to 1.2, rooted with an early version of MN, have an Eclair phone running Barnacle and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872521 works great for me.

[Q] PdaNet Tablet (beta) android to android with bluetooth

Has anyone else tried this app?
Im on tnt lite 4.4 and when I connect my gtab freezes.
I had the app working for a couple minutes at most.
Ive tried different browsers, but nothing, next I might try a different rom
and see if that works.
I have to try and use this app because I dont have root on my mobile yet.
Edit: i changed my rom to G harmony v2.4.
It connects but force closes on me, better then freezing up my tablet though.
Works for about five minutes, sometimes it doesnt want to connect at first either.
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.0.3 this app works.
Currently connected to my mobile.
No freezing or force closes.
Here is the market description
This is a tablet version of the extremely popular PdaNet software. It allows you to share the Internet access of an Android device with another Android device through Bluetooth. You should install this application on both the tablet and the phone. Then run client mode on a tablet and server mode on a phone. No rooting required. Connection speed should be very fast if your phone has good data service. PdaNet works by setting the web proxy server on your tablet and route web requests to a Bluetooth DUN service. That means only applications that use web connections will work. On Honeycomb devices PdaNet supports Browser, Gmail and Map. For Android 2.2/2.3 devices PdaNet only supports the Browser app. We understand this solution is not ideal but it is really the only way to tether an Android tablet due to OS restrictions. This application is completely free and we hope it will be useful to you.

Tethered via WiFi is just one option but I think the whole point was to do it via Bluetooth.
I can't say for sure if BT has a better/stronger connection than WiFi, but it's something I've been yearning to find out.

I probably wouldn't use this if I could tether over wifi though.
This app is beta and on froyo and gingerbread you can only get internet on
Your browser app.
But it's free and I need to root my mobile.
I've been traveling and dont have a computer right now.

I saw it in the market on my Evo, but NOT on my Gtablet. How can I get it from my not rooted Evo to my rooted Viewsonic GTablet?

Can you backup your apps on your phone?
should be able to put it on your sdcard, then transfer it to your gtablet and install.

Just tried it, it pairs but does not connect via bluetooth. I'm rooted as well. From my understanding android had widespread issues connecting via bluetooth as a server/client to another android device.
Using an Apple or Windows based phone I have no issues.

Hi I have tried to get this pda net tablet to run on my gtab forever, it just wont connect to my unrooted dx runnining gingerbread. The best i can get is paired but no connection. I am running clemsyn kernel and cyanogen 7.1.0 rco.
Can anyone tell me how to get it running or suggest another program that will allow me to us my phones data plan that i am already paying for??
thanks in advance for any help !!

I don't suppose anyone knows if PDANet for iphone supports bluetooth? WIFI takes away WAYYYYY too much battery life.
