Been a while since I used this forum and god has it grown!
Prob been answered and I have searched so excuse me if I've missed it, but have we managed to get the HD7 with Mango setup as a wireless access point yet? i'd like to teather my wifi only pad to it.
I assume that I would need to also sideload any hack to enable it, is there a sideload methed availible for Mango?
Cheers guys

Hi,
I'm looking for an app to connect wirelessly to my hp printer/scanner. Even when not in the wireless network area. Also, is it possible to be able to hook up my g1 to a laptop via usb and use the phone as the internet?
hi there, not sure about the first but the second one is possible through tethering. should be a sticky somewhere close(look for gaining root). as for responses, these guys dont give information easily on already spoken about topics, so try and source it fom the site using search...
When i open it up and start tethering it stays on the start tethering screen and says please wait... my macbook doesn't find the signal and i was wondering if there was a way to fix it... i am running the latest hero rom...
Should work fine if your rooted and using anetshare with the downloaded tether.
Ubuntu on the otherhand... That one I have to use proxoid and usb along with a config typed in, but least its working on linux now. Windows.. ahh I love how you know how to network with ease to adhocs..
What is anetshare?... is it an app or something else?

Just gotta dl it and then let the tether download. I know back in the begining, Tetherwifi didnt work, but this one did. So I stick with what worked 1st. =)
You don't have to use anetshare to have wireless tether for root users to work.
what is another easy way to get wireless tethering working... i have tried the wireless tether app buy it hasn't worked for me and i am not sure how to fix it

and an updated rom with netfilter?
Hey guys, longtime reader. I was wondering if there was an app that i could DL that would give me the funtionality of the Hero's Mobile network sharing settings? I have searched far and wide and have not seemed to find a solution for me to easily tether my PC running Ubuntu 9.04 to my G1 running Cy's 4.1.11.
Sorry if this has been discussed elswhere, and as you can see ive been a member for a long time and have never needed any help, but i have been lookin for about a week now and have only been able to find these 2 sites about it: http://joshuaredstone.blogspot.com/2009/01/bluetooth-tethering-from-ubuntu-to.html and http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2009/...thout-jailbreaking-or-installing-applications
The second one is the one im inquiring about.
thanks
Please correct me if I'm misreading you, are you looking to tether? ie. use your cell phone to get ubuntu online?
If so I use aNetshare, first result in google. It has worked best for every rom I've ran, the older RCs, cupcake and now donut. I'm roaming 99% of the time so that may be why the other more popular ones give me trouble. idk...
For any of them to work you'll need root and su permissions. There is a paid app out there which claims to tether w/o root or su. I think through usb.
yah im slightly confused as to what exactly it is you are looking for as well...but the one im using is called PdaNet just google it and its one of the first choices.
its free.
it claims it works without root, i wouldnt know cuz im rooted =] but you can try!
it works via usb so it charges the phone while you're surfin =]
EDIT....heres the link. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
PS. my bad...didnt realize you were already running cyan =]

sorry if i wasnt clear before but i have Ubuntu and want to know how to tether my G1 through bluetooth using Ubuntu....i cant get netshare to work through Ubuntu. how did you get it to work?
bluetooth, you got me there... sry
Ya, sry no idea how to tether via bluetooth. I really only use wifi. Dunno why(maybe because of high data traffic) but my phone would constantly die while tethered and charging via usb.
Other than getting ubuntu to see&install my wireless card(nothing to do with my phone) I don't remember having any problems getting it to see or connect to my phone.
Or am I still confused and what you're really trying to do is use the internet you already have working on ubuntu to get you phone online?
for whatever reason my Ubuntu 9.04 does not automatically read my phone (Tmobile G1) as a modem through the usb. whenever i configure the steps (http://technologyheaven.com/2009/08/27/phoneasmodem/) to get it to read my phone it still says not connected even though it IS connected. I know the usb ports work cause i can get it to mass storage...just not modem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!
it's been a long while since I used USB tethering (anyone remember tetherbot & socks proxies). You may need to have the android sdk installed or atleast know how to communicate with your device via console. Connecting as a mass storage device and as a modem are two different things, so one may work great while the other still needs more setup.
Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in.. please.. anyone...
I don't know a ton about cyan's roms but I'm assuming they come rooted by default. Is there a reason you don't want to use the wifi method for the time being?
edit: fwiw, you can use the wifi method while charging via usb. But, with heavy traffic(downloading huge files consecutively) the usb may not be able to keep up with the battery usage.. especially if on a 3g network. Using the stock charger & wifi on 3g the battery actually gets a little charge(power supply is ~500mA on usb, ~1A on charger). Either way, usb or wifi, usb or charger, turn off your screen for best results.
Im surprised no one mentioned Wireless tether for root users:http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
supports both wifi and bluetooth.
@B3astofthe3ast, cool I didn't know that(no bt on my laptop, ya it's kinda old heh). For whatever reason on several different roms I get terrible data when using that app, it might be because I'm 100% roaming with no 3g ever. Tethers to pc fine just 9/10 doesn't seem to be able download stuff.
thx, but i have that (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/). anyway, im thinking its got something to do with my comp and not the phone itself, seeing as i can get on internet with windows just fine. Im just trying to move away from windows and to Ubuntu.
p.s. i dont have a wireless card in my self built computer, thats why i dont use wifi!
I'm completely new to this and cannot find anything anywhere which gives me the confidence to root my brand new N1.
I need the N1 to connect to an ad hoc network. For a couple of reasons, I cannot use a router, it has to be ad-hoc. In fact, I can't believe that Google have disabled ad-hoc facility, if I had known I wouldn't have bought it! It makes no sense!
Anyway, I have installed the android sdk and drivers, no problem, my pc recognises the phone ok.
I don't know what to do next. There seems to be several options, but none specific to my phone.
One was to use Superboot, but there isn't one specific to my build number which is EPF21B, the firmware version is 2.1-update 1.
Another option is to follow the cyanogen instructions, but will this work on my phone?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? A link to good, easy to understand instructions and the necessary downloads?
Like I said, a router is not possible - this is what everyone recommends on the other forums I have posted on, but it won't work.
Thanks for taking the time, kewl.....
Can't be done, as far as i'm aware
I've got to say that I am staggered that Google has actually BLOCKED this facility, it makes no sense to me.
I have been waiting for this phone to become available for months, and now it is here I find that gooogle have deliberately crippled it, it's virtually useless to me!
Luckily, I have a 7 day cooling off period and I am going to return the phone and go back to my slow, clumsy and buggy Nokia, but at least it works.
Thanks guys!

don't you have a pc with Windows 7? you could try a software called virtual rooter or connectify, to use your pc as a access point to your phone. only ti use at home or work and only if you're looking to a way to give internet access to your phone. that's what I'm doing when i at home where i don't have wifi access. using a virtual machine running a windows 7 OS with a external wifi drive plug in to it (because my real pc runs vista). that did the trick for me
AHA im not alone!! I have the exact same UK version of the Nexus one as you. Ive also had the same problems.. its not htat you cant do it its just the phone is only a week old and none of the modders have modded the new version yet. Paul the guy from modaco is making me a epf21b fastboot i think they just have to change a few things for all the usual root goodies to become available to us UK n1ers
basically ill be sending him a copy of my epf21b today then he can make a fastboot for it then we can do all the goodies...
ill update this thread when i get some progress

No, you can't connect to ADHOC networks on the Nexus. Even with root i'm pretty sure it can't be done.
I was able to connect to my gf iPhone mywi internet tethering and use her connection. My n1 couldn't get a high-speed connection so I turn on her iPhone ad-hoc network and was able to connect
I have a rooted cm phone with the wifi tether app and the barnacle apparently as well. Hope that helps
Hey, I recently got my phone replaced so now I can unlock it! I've gotten everything unlocked, but the internet sharing won't work now. Is there a registry tweak for this that we know of? I tried searching and reading through threads, but couldn't find a definite way to do it.
I'm using the Ativ S Neo...
Can you explain in what way Internet Sharing "won't work now", and ideally also potentially-pertinent information like what carrier you're using?
With that said: I've looked for the hotspot configuration data myself, unsuccessfully.
