Are you serious ? Do you really want to do p2p on your phone ? Cause first, it will cost a lot on your phone bill and other point, UMTS connection will drain a lot your phone's battery.

i dont see a problem. i would do it over wifi eliminating these charges. then all i have to do it charge my battery then bam both ur problems solved.

I've tried this one: http://www.adisasta.com/wmTorrent.html, and it works fine. It will drain your battery in no time though, so it's usefullness is a bit limited because of that.

I agree, but the battery dies fast anyway. lol
I love being able to download a torrent on the fly, and brag to the people at work that can't do that with their iphone.

i love this app its freakin great

that adisasta program sucks balls it only downloads torrents it would be better if you could search em n downlooad

hahaha i absolutely agree with mike on that one, any other ideas?

File Sharing
Try Pocket G2 Pro for p2p via gnutella..i have a cab that i will upload once i get to my pc.

lol
I have soulseek torrent and emule on my 16gb 3g. works all fine up to 180kb/s
battery goes ok (downloading on the road with car charger...) XD

I could never get pocket G2 to connect. Both with wifi or data connection.
I also tried wmtorrent on my mogul and it ran really rough. I did manage to download a 700 mb file but the phone felt like it was on fire while plugged in so I just stuck to logmein.com to my desktop and using winamp remote or ORB.

I prefer a slightly different solution.
I configure my torrent client to allow web management.
I can then add to the client from my phone, and my PC will download.
Connection there is also much much faster than over GPRS, and most wifi connections I will be on.
I also setup a secure FTP at home, and have all completed torrents moved into the FTP folder.
I can then access the completed torrents via FTP on my phone, and download them quickly.

USB tether w/o Root. PDAnet for Android Available now!

Hey everyone, PDAnet is now available for android!
http://junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PdaNet does NOT require root access or hacking your phone's firmware in order to work. It is just a regular Android application that works on all Android phones as-is. Currently this initial version supports USB tethering on the T-Mobile G1 phone. Tethering is secure and will also charge your phone at the same time. Your phone can either connect to 3G data or WiFi.

It works perfectly, and root access is not required.
Enjoy!

Good find! Works best with Opera browser (other browsers such as IE and Firefox, won't display pictures for some reason...) Has some connectivity issues when using longer than 5 minutes (yes, I have enable usb bugging enabled and stay alive while connected via usb) All and all, a good program for your laptop without draining your G1 or when the REAL internet goes out. Good find! Thanks! Also, incredibly simple to use!!!

EXE installer? WTF?! How does it work? Does the program require something on the computer-end too?
I'm Linux user, so I can't use it?

Yes, it seems to be only compatible with windows. Since you're in linux, you may try running it through WINE to see what happens.

Did you experience the pictures not loading problem also while using IE or firefox?

this doesn't really seem to work yet
I was able to install it without much trouble and the initial connection looked promising (well, some pages came up anyway).
It was basically impossible to connect to Speedtest.net however and Speakeasy only rated my connection at 287/283 kbps at best (the G1 was on WiFi). I tested it again with the G1 on 3G and got a 409/330 kbps (doesn't that seem weird that it would rate better on 3G?) but then it seemed to stop connecting somehow and I had to restart the program and reestablish the connection on the PC. After a few more minutes it happened again. I would call this basically not useful at the moment, but I hope they can work the bugs out and get some decent speed out of it.
For reference, using Tether WiFi to connect to the G1 over 3G Speakeasy rated the connection at 699/316 kbps. And in my experience it's stable/consistent.
As a disclaimer, this was on my work laptop which has some pretty hefty encryption software installed. While this may be the problem, I didn't have any trouble connecting initially (multiple times).
Additional:
Their "reviews" section is just "customer testimonials", as my honest yet critical assessment of the app's inability to perform as intended was NOT posted and they didn't even bother to drop me an email to try to sort out the problem. I hope they can improve on the app, but they're quickly losing my respect and interest.

I just got this. I dl it to my sd card, connect phone to pc w usb, ran exe through windows. Installed program automatically onto phone. Windows asks to install driver for g1 and it does the work from there.
It seems to work ok, the first few tries on my desktop it would disconnect after a few minutes, restarted phone and its been better but still only seems to stay connected for about 20 min, which should be ample time to do alittle websurfing without getting mad about disconnects.

well they might not have replied because they are aware of the problem, and they clearly state that this is beta software. if you look at the known issues the first one is about the connection dropping and having to reconnect.
once they work out the bugs this software will be pretty useful because of how easy it is to use.

if only i could plug the g1 into the 360 would save me $100...or if i could share the connection with my windows media desktop(i use it as a media server for my xbox and its not even close to a internet connection).
i tried to connect it but it does the network doesnt have sufficient MTU settings. xbox live requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364.
darn.
ill be watching for updates though, should be useful once fully operational.

i've been using mine for a while now...no problems once i turn off the wifi switch on my laptop...recently when i plug it in tho, it says PDAnet is expiring soon...is this supposed to be a paid app?

This app is gay... It was pretty good at first... but once the guy updated to r1.5... its been acting gay... it would come up with random blockings... it blocked www.google.com... wtf?... and wikipedia... yahoo answers... so I just got root and installed WiFi Tether for Root users... works way better and doesnt have blocks...

USB tether 4.2.6
This is supposed to be plug and play. A lot of people have said it's great. I have not been so fortunate. Anyway, could someone give me directions on how to use this. 1. plug in phone via USB. 2. settings/wireless settings/ internet tether (on). 3. Go to PC and click on G1Tether click connect. For me this does not work. Help.

This application is a fine hold-over for people who are too stupid to get root, but it is a VERY VERY poor imitation of tethering.
1) A real tethering solution will NOT require proprietary crap to be installed on the CLIENT.
2) Wired or Wireless tether for root users *IS* a *TRUE* plug-it-in-and-it-works solution. Run the program on the phone, plug in the wire, and you're done. No weird nonsense to be installed on the computer.

Palringo is here!!!!

I have personally waiting on this app on the Android platform since I got my G1. Don't sleep people..........http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/download IMO I will say its a Meebo Killer Keep in mind it's in beta so more features to come. (Push to Talk) Oh and check out the forum to add feature requests etc....

the program is still young it lacks some features but unlike meebo it seems you need data plan or wifi to get it working and not 3G.
It's so bad the program look promising.

?? you need data plan and not 3g??
what do you mean by that? 3g is just the connection speed?
it works flawlessly with a regular data connection here.
and it looks and feels as nice as the win mo version, if not more so.

How does this one handle battery life?

i have been using this app for a long time and like it a lot the log out should be fixed soon

I have this on my laptop, awesome messenger!!! I had this on my wing & my tilt, awesomer!!! I got it on my ipod touch, still awesome!!! Now its on my g1... not so awesome!!! It signs me out way too often. It seems everytime I close the app, it signs me out. I never had this issue with the program on any other platform before. But I can't wait for them to fix that cuz this is easily the best all in one messenger I have used

Does this thing save your conversations like Meebo does?

wow, looks really good .... no problems so far, connected to facebook chat, msn and icq!

please give feed back and feature requests to the forum:http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/forum/support/android/

Oh sorry i mean it works with data connection et no wap
like the regular IM

Sooooo, how is it effecting everyones battery? I'm still on the fence on whether to use this over the stock IMs.

So far battery isn't an issue cuz it doesn't stay connected long enough to suck any juice. But I can say on my wing, tilt & ipod, it never drained my battery

I'm waiting for an update.....the PTT feature and the LBS are worth the wait....

drains battery and disconnects, but chat rooms are fun. would be perfect if it didn't drain battery (dun think they can do anything about that), and if they fixed the disconnects....

Disabling Data connections

I'm looking for a way to disable expensive datalinks such as 3G and edge that is a little more reliable than the 'off'-switch in the touchflo settings. It sort of bugs me that the phone connects to the internet whenever it feels like it. At home it's not necessary because I have wifi, and when I'm abroad I definitely don't want it to come anywhere close to connecting or in any way costing me a lot of money
Windows mobile is completely new to me, this is my first smartphone. I bet there's tons of useful applications lying around that do exactly what I want, but since I'm new to this it's all a bit overwhelming. Anyone who can point me in the right direction?

Install freeware NoData to disable data connection. Google for it.

Thanks a bunch, exactly what I needed

I installed it, and it is working well: no internet, nor mail checking, nor update of weather...Nice, without this it was virtualy impossible to prevent the TD2 to connect one way or another ;-)
Thanks for the pointer!

using the same app, very hapy with it! great one!

[Q] 3g modem on nook

Hello, I wonder if its possible to put in a 3g modem and use mobile broadband on the nook ?
Please excuse me for bad my bad English

Hardware modification is a lot of work. In most cases it's not even possible.
You are better off tethering to your phone or a hotspot if wifi isn't available...
In my opinion.

Where do you propose to insert the USB 3G device? Maybe once Bluetooth is working there will be a device to add 3g via Bluetooth. But there is not, as far as I know, 3G hardware available on the NC board... yet.

I'll make it simpler than the others...
Sorry, no.

Sadly the nook doesn't really have the capacity to add 3G hardware. Some tablets do have full sized USB ports that can physically connect to a USB 3G modem, but there is no built in driver support on those tablets either. Your only real option currently is wifi tether to a 3G phone.

Just in case any of these replies are missing information you need:
1. No, you can't add 3g to the Nook, in fact this is why i love it as a tablet - no extra data plan to pay for
2. BUT you can easily use the nook's wifi to connect to a portable hotspot
3. You could if you wanted buy a portable hotspot (e.g. Mifi, or overdrive), but these come with expensive data plans
4. You can use your regular cellphone. This requires rooting on an android device, and I do not know if this is possible on other platforms. Anyway, I reccommend "wireless tether" as the app to use simply because it can be set up to only communicate with MAC addresses that it approves (it's great being in an airport and seeing all the internet leaches being bounced off your phone's hotspot).
5. If you are super lucky, your phone will operate as an 'infrastructure network', and you can stop reading right now! ;-) However, more than likely, your phone will operate as an "adhoc" network, not an "infrastructure" network. This requires some tweaking of your nook on 2.1 ROMS (there's several threads on this), but is built into 2.2 (which is a major reason to move to Froyo).
6. The ad-hoc fix is a bit buggy, and whatever B&N changed in 1.1 makes this much worse. Again there's several threads describing this. In 1.01 the solution as to use an app to shut down and restart the wifi as the screen shut down or tuned off. BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN 1.1 AND IF ANYTHING MAKES IT MORE ANNOYING.
7. Basically there is some issue in 1.1 where when the nook wakes, the wifi is on but it may not reconnect to a network until you tell it to. This happens occasionally for the stock wifi, but happens continuously with the ad-hoc fix. The best workaround i have found is to have an app called "wifi buddy" in my dock - then when the machine wakes up if it can't see the network, i just launch wifi buddy and it connects immediately.
Hope that helps

That would be nice, what I do is tether my iPhone to my nook using MiWi. Its fast and reliable

I am using PDAnet on the iPhone. It's free and also offers the option to broadcast a WiFi hotspot. Other iPhones and my laptop see the hotspot but the Nook does not. Has anyone tried that yet?

Found the answer!
Ad-hoc fix for tethering
I found a great guide to use PDAnet (free version) for tethering the NC with my iPhone 3Gs. Hooray for this awesome forum!

If you could somehow get the SoC from the Droid X in there... it might be remotely possible. But the time and effort required would make this a purely "did it to say I did" type of hack.

Or, while waiting a year for that to happen, buy a NC that will do 90% of what that one will do now for half that price.

It's your choice.
