Wired tether connection issues

I'm running Ivan's .8t2 and was able to get the wireless tether to work with no problems.
Wired tether is a different issue. I've got the latest HTC Sync loaded which is supposed to have the appropriate driver for XP sp3 I just can't get it to connect or even recognize the "eris network". The app fire up fine on the Eris, but it's like I'm missing some network setup on the XP.
I've done a google search and have not found anything too helpful. Mostly iPhone to Mac stuff.
Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to figure out why its not working. the kernel may need to be patched, and I know the app is supposed to let you know if the kernel is incompatible. I'll look into the kernel issue, but be patient with me as I'm still learning this dev thang!
in the meantime I have been running the KaosLegendary 0.8 rom and use mobile network sharing under wireless and network settings.

Thanks. FYI, there is no such setting I can find with Ivan's ROM.

yeah, you wont find that feature on an Eris based rom, I'm gonna see if I can add it tho.

on any phone, root or not, you could just download the "easy tether" app from the market. does wired tether for free, and is really really easy to set up.

Thanks to both for the help. The easy tether did the trick.
I had a feeling there was something missing from the laptop's side.
My Mom thanks you, too. Now the laptop can be taken to her place so she can Skype with her grand daughter and great grand daughter.

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.

I have actually tried using the z4root but yes it has been pulled from the market.. i actually have it on one of my phones but im not sure how to transfer it... you can share apps but the link is always invalid...

I use Google's wi-fi tether app. I just download the latest version from the interweb and install. Of course I am rooted and have sideloading fixed.

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..
i have assonance 5.2 and have tried tethering to my pc. seems to work but what i am really looking for is a way to tether and use my PC'S connection on my PHONE so i dont have to dwindle my data plan. ive been looking for a while actually on how i could 'reverse tether' but i guess im blind.

i know, its unbelievable isnt it?

Are you trying to tether from a laptop or pc
From a phone

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.

[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.

I had the same problem, i would try it a couple of times to get it to connect.

I used this app on my gtablet and it worked just fine. running Bright Corners with the Clemnsys kernel.

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.

Google's WiFi Tether app

Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...

I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem

Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".

Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.

I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.

Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Woot! I don't own one but I am glad you got it going perhaps a screenie of some data transfer?
Also try this with the 3. beta if you don't mind

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.

Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?

not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.

Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...

The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.

I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.

Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?

I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.

Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...

[Q]How to connect to Adhoc Wi-Fi?

Can we connect to Ad-Hoc Wifi with this device? Is there any mods or apps we can use? Thanx in advance!!!

Not so fast, I found an app, that claims to be working. Here: https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.arendmedia.wifiadhocenabler
However, you need root access to use it. There are some other methods of enabling ad-hoc wifi, Google is your friend
