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.
OK, so tethering your laptop and G1 device isn’t entirely new, but in the past the processes have required root access, or have just been plain messy. However, help is at hand in the form of PDAnet 3G tethering application by June Fabrics (who partners with Palm). This program allows users to use their mobile internet on their G1 as a modem for their laptop.
First and foremost, this little application does not require root access to work. Second, it is free. Currently in BETA stages, the application seems to still run flawlessly according to numerous reports around the internet. In the future, the final version will likely become a ‘paid application’, but if it works well, we think it will prove rather successful.
Of course there is a downside. Using your G1 as a modem for your laptop is probably in direct conflict with your terms and conditions and excessive usage will easily get you a warning and potentially chucked off the mobile interweb. You have been warned.

Thanks, but I already posted about this a few days ago here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495329
After playing with it for a while, I found that it disconnects frequently, but I guess it's good for people that want to tether and don't have root.
I actually prefer PDANet's USB tethering to the WiFi tether. You don't have to worry or deal with "securing" the connection. It seems faster (although that could be just me) - and frankly, I keep the phone plugged in to my laptop while using wifi tether anyways, since you basically have to have a connection.
The only ****ty part is that you need the PDANet software on your laptop, so you can't just give the connection to friends, etc.
But hey, that's why it's awesome to have both options.
Also, when doing the wifi tether, I always get the "hover your mouse over for 2 seconds to load this image" on all the damn images, it always shows compressed crap... with PDANet it loads fully.
Sweeeeeet!!!... Can say good bye cable company!!!
mine never disconnects, it works great, and for me its ether this or dial up!
Very unreliable
I've found PDANet to be unreliable to the point of uselessness. Constantly drops the connection and runs very slowly when it works. Not a solution at all.
Hello all
I just rooted my NC last night and I'm having two issues.
First, my NC reboots when I dont use it for a few minutes. It seems like any time I let it idle for more than 1-2 minutes it reboots itself. So far I've seen this happen in the wireless screen multiple times, but I'll be testing it on other screens today as well.
Second, I cant seem to stay connected to my home wifi network. When I rooted it last night it wouldnt connect at first, but I just toggled wifi on/off and it connected. Now I cant seem to access the internet at all. I can see and connect to my network, but the status hangs at "Connected, but no internet." I use a N router on WPA/WPA2 PSK.
I did run into a few weird things when rooting the device, which may or may not be related. The instructions on nookdevs say once you have the SD card in the device and it's then connected to your PC it should boot from the SD card with the screen off, then reboot on its own into the new boot animation. Mine never did this, (left it for about 20 minutes and the screen remained black) so I unplugged it and booted it up myself. It booted with the new animation and loaded into android and I was able to get the marketplace working. At this point the network started doing some really strange things, (dropping connection mid-stream on youtube, failing to load new tabs in market) so I did the 8 failed reboots reset and wiped the device to factory settings. From here I re-rooted it using the same steps with the same outcome. The device did not auto-boot but the root seems to have taken OK, but I have no network access just like before.
I was able to get it working for long enough to open up the market and download angry birds and a few other apps late last night, but I've been trying reboots and toggling wi-fi all day today and it still cannot connect.
Also, I am very new to Android and I can't seem to add shortcuts to applications to my home screen. How do I edit this?
I've been having issues with restarts as well. I think it has something to do with Soft Keys.
I am brand new to Android starting last night, but have been a Pre Homebrewer since July
I do use soft keys. I am unsure if that is causing the problem or not
I am going to go test the wifi issues on some public wifi hotspots today. Will report once I do

Reboots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880785
No problems using or reconnecting to wifi here. No other problems.
And I doubt this reboot problem is related to softkeys, but I'm not going to uninstall it to find out. The problem has been (greatly) reduced by changing the scaling governor from conservative to ondemand, per the thread above.
Ah perfect thank you. I will read that thread fully once I get home.
I just tested the NC's wifi at a Starbucks and had no issues at all. Everything connected on the first try and I had 0 disconnections during 15 min of testing in multiple apps. I have to assume it is specific to my network, but I am not sure what the issue would be. I already have a 360 and a laptop using that network with no problems, and even my iPhone can use it when I tell it to.
Has anyone had similar network woes? I use a DIR 615
I found on other topics / forums that people generally has problem with N routers. I've got Linksys WRVS4400n and it randomly hangs when Nook is on (it just drops everything and there's no network connectivity on any devices @ home). When I have turned off N (I left only b/g) everything seems to work normally again. I did not dump traffic that Nook generates, but N-on configuration was a problem..
I hope that will help somehow.
Thanks very much. I've updated to newer firmware and that seems to be helping. If my issue persists I'll disable N and report my findings.
My wife and I gifted each other with nook colors for christmas, so I have 2 to compare side by side.
I'll be returning mine, as it has definite wifi issues. It can connect sometimes, and I was able to get registered after a couple tries and get a couple books downloaded, but more often than not I can't connect at all and the browser rarely works.
My wife's works fine and connects without any problems at all every time.
Both connecting to the same wireless network just an old 802.11G belkin access point that I've been using for a couple years.
Well, I hate to admit it, but my wifi issues were of my own making, and they're now fixed.
I used to keep my wireless network separate and on a different subnet. Once we got playon for the wii, which connects wirelessly I had to move my wireless network to the same subnet as my desktop PC which was running the playon server.
Long story short, at some point in the past for some reason I hard coded my desktop IP address, but left that address in the DHCP scope for that subnet. My nook color happened to get that IP address, so the root cause was an IP conflict.
I deleted the lease and removed that address from the scope and then reconnected the nook to the wireless network, and now it works great.
Neither the nook nor my desktop reported the IP address conflict.

Can you explain what scaling governor is and how to change it? My NC reboots every so often and I'd like to give this a whirl.

The frequency scaling governor is the cpu control setting that configures a cpu with built in throttling capability to one of the power options available. In linux this is usually configured as a kernel option and can be set to ondemand, conservative, userspace, powersave or performance. In Win systems it is a configurable item in the power profile settings. Ondemand will keep the cpu throttled at the lowend until the system begins working and then it will speed up to the higher end. Userspace is usually required for apps that control the cpu like some taskbar widgets you would find in Gnome or another desktop environment. Powersave would be always run slow to conserve power. Performance would throttle the cpu at its highest level. Etc.
I'm experiencing both of these issues on my 1.0.1 nook. I downloaded spare parts and set the wifi sleep policy to never and nothing happened, I just changed my router from mixed to B-G mixed, we'll see if that helps. That being said, I also downloaded CPU Tuner and changed everything to on demand and am still experiencing reboots. Hope this info is useful for someone!
Yea, SetCPU set to ondemand has not solved my reboot issue, either. It just rebooted on me again about 10 min ago right after i put the device down. I don't seem to have the wifi dropping issue, though.
CPU Tuner has done nothing but make my wifi stop during sleep. I have all the profiles at leave unchanged or enabled. All file transfers stop during sleep now. The random reboots were a smaller issue before. I think I will undo all the changes I've made.
Just so everyone is up to speed with where I landed on these issues.
Wifi:
It was a problem with my DIR 615. A very knowledgeable poster was kind enough to offer a potential solution, which I never tested as I ended up getting a new router anyway. If you are experiancing issues and dropping N helped, you may want to read that thread and talk to aludal.
Reboots:
Still occurring, but very rarely. I see one every day or two. It was worse before I installed Set CPU and set it to "on demand." For a full list of the settings I am using in Set CPU please see the OP in this thread. It's towards the end of the OP.
Hope this helps.
I also have DIR615 and Slingplayer continually crashes my router's wifi internet connection but it works fine using my phone's wifi hotspot. Thanks for the info.
Only thing to reliably do is shut off wifi when the screen goes off.
This issue will be addressed by B&N with their 1.1 update rumored to release this month. Only 20 days possible left...
My market always says starting download, But never actually starts. It HAS worked, and my connection is fine, but its really finicky.
Anyone else experiencing this?
//from the nook
Think lots of people see this behavior ... and actually it seems that while it looks like it's not DLing, it actually is ... try this ... click on an app you want ... the market will ask if you want to install, after you say OK it goes back to the market .. click again on the app you are DLing and watch for a minute .. it'll probably display that it is now DLing and it seems it really was all along. Also this is not 'repeatable' .. sometimes it behaves this way, other times it goes straight to DLing ... have this same behavior on my Froyo phone and a small android tablet.
I used to have this issue and HTC had no idea about it. Realised that if you have the low disk space icon showing in your notification bar, market will not download or update any applications until the issue of space is sorted.
Hope it helpa

Thanks for replying.
Nothing seems to be working. Pandora and jorte Have been starting to download for over 12 hours. My disk space is fine so that can't be the issue. I feel like its connection based in some way, but I have no evidence of that.
//from the nook COLOR
So I jumped on market help just now and this is a very common issue. The fix is just signing or resigning into to gTalk. Weird but it worked immediately after I defrosted and reboot.
//from the nook COLOR
Start downloading in the market only hang on my NC when there's a low on disk space notification even though there's 100MB left. When I clear some addition space, the downloading resume.
My NC was acting the same way last night. Marketplace downloads took forever and many times it would say "download paused". Dolphin HD and default browser were both super slow loading pages if they loaded them at all. I checked the Wireless and it seemed to be "cycling" between "Connected to the Internet" and "Connected, testing...." every 5 to 10 seconds. I managed to load Speedtest and my download rate was 50 Kbps or less. My Samsung Fascinate sitting right beside the NC was hitting close to 1Mbps on Speedtest over WiFi.
So I started backing out the apps I've installed, no change. Frustrated, I end up doing a hard reset to reload the system partition and deregister to clear everything else. So now I'm back to bone stock and it's 1:00 am, still NO CHANGE!! WiFi is still super slow to non-existent
Needless to say at this point I'm a tad irritated with the NC. I box NC up thinking it must have some type of wireless defect and plan on taking it back to Best Buy since I just bought it 3 days ago.
For some reason I decide to check out the Barnes and Noble website thinking it's a long shot they'd have any answers but what the heck. In the Support forum for the NC I found a thread talking about the NC having issues with WiFi when using WEP security. Not 100% of the time but sometimes. Oh my, I'm using WEP security on a DLink router!! (I know, not the best decision I've every made but certainly not the worst, the ex-wife holds that honor!!)
So I unbox and power up the NC, "Forget" the current wireless connection, turned off the wireless all together and power off the NC. I log into the router and change over to use WPA-PSK security. Power up the NC and turn the wireless back on. It finds the network and shows WPA-PSK security in use. I enter the key and it connects immediately. I open the default browser and poof the Barnes and Noble page loads quick!!!
It's now 2:00am and I'm re-rooting the NC and reinstalling apps. The Market Place and Dolphin HD are now responding like they should. The constant "cycling" between "Connected to the Internet" and "Connected, testing..." has stopped. The NC still cycles between the two but it's not nearly as often.
So I've learned: Don't work on the NC at 1:00am. You'll make rash decisions which will cost you a lot of unnecessary work later on. And, if you're having WiFi issues and using WEP try WPA-PSK instead.
Sorry for the long winded ramble, lack of sleep I guess.

Or just Mac address filter I have no password on my router but if the devices Mac address isn't on the list they can't even connect to the 192.168.2.1/192.168.1.1 router login stuff.
Not recommended unless you like setting stuff up because anything you plan to use have to be added to the list.

Off topic but it's really easy to spoof a mac address. Still use WPA if you care about security. I personally don't.

They can determine valid MACs for your network by simply monitoring the traffic and clone one that you've white-listed.
That's like locking your car door and leaving the windows rolled down.
It's still better than WEP, though.

Thats with anything tho, if a supa n3rd wants to come sniffer/brute force for hours for wifi they will get it.
But, Especially, since it was about the NOOK not liking WEP/WPA2 Mac address filtering is another option with which ive had no problems plus the no password hassle while still enjoying some security.
Crappy belkin routers never have problems with the NC tho WEP/WPA2 or not.

Sure, but it's a matter of the effort/reward ratio. MAC-cloning and WEP-cracking is trivial. It can be done in 1 minute. That requires no meaningful effort. Brute forcing for hours obviously requires a considerably greater effort and time expended.
You can see the difference, right?
They're going to go after the low-hanging fruit and then move on to more easy-pickings, not waste time hammering away at WPA2 for hours and hours.

Hey all, I did not have much luck using the search. Tried to find other people who have had this problem. **Plus nobody responded in the General forum so here I am again. **
We have 4 ATT Tilt 2 phones in my department. All with the same rom, radio, settings, etc. The difference in the phones is that 2 of them were purchased about a year earlier than the other 2.
*PROBLEM* TWO of the phones (the newer purchased Tilt 2's) we are getting alerts for high data usage from ATT. Looked at the ATT data logs, sure enough they have high data usage, large amounts at odd times. like 20mb - 100+mb transfers in the late night early morning, during the day. Not good, it is all adding up quick with no suspect in sight. The 2 users with this problem, use the phone data less than I do for day to day tasks and I am way under the alert limit, its not something they are causing---some of these data periods are while the user is ASLEEP (and no, we do NOT use MS myphone sync). Its got to be a phone software or software compatibility with the newer Tilt 2 hardware or something. I tried a couple different ROMS, same problem. Right now we are all on Energy.RHODIUM.21684.Sense2.5.Cookie.sencity.Nov.0 8
Radio: 4.49.25.77 (best signal in our area) Michigan
Please help. Thanks to anybody who can provide some guidance.
sounds like it is connecting for something and not disconnecting. I have this problem sometimes when it connects to download my email and weather, it will stay connected all night and kill my battery by the time i wake up.

Enable Auto Data Disconnect for Auto Email Downloads and Other Downloads with a Cab File
When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster. Modify the following reg edit to have data disconnect after 60 seconds. You can test this by tapping on the notfification bar while downloading emails and watch the data connection close after idle for 60 seconds. Please note. Data connection will NOT auto disconnect if you have any HTC Sense auto download enabled such as Weather, Twitter, Stocks, Facebook or Time Sync. Please set these apps to manual download only. Please note that this setting has the possible effect of disabling simultaneous voice and data on some devices, even if you are on a capable network and signal.

The only problem i have with this is that it kind of defeats the purpose of a smart/connected phone. Its just so strange that only 2 of the 4 phones have this high data use problem, and they were all setup by the same person.
But on the other hand, it would be a good test method for data usage before and after. THANK YA!

make sure your weather isnt set to download on its own because it will not auto disconnect.
other things like email and stuff like that will usually not auto disconnect either.
Ok we will try that and see what happens. Will report back

That problem is not just on wp7 is happening on iphones too. so u better unlink those yahoo mail accoounts or put your setting for manual downlad.
I unlinked my Yahoo account and disabled auto update of Sense Weather, my data usage did go down, not that I care about it as I have unlimited, but was surprised at how much better battery life I now have.
