I have my g1 on simple mobile. And for the life of me i cant figure out how to get wi-fi tether to work. Ive used a few different apps all with same result the network id never gets broadcasted, i cant connect.
Anyone have their g1's on simple mobile with wi-fi tether working?
It works fine on t-mobile, although they throttle back the data speed after 30mb on the prepaid $1.49 'day pass'.
i know simple mobile uses tmobiles networks, but is it exactly the same? what app do you use to tether?

How do you do it?
Also is it possible if my friend has a data plan he has a Sprint Hero and I have a T-Mobile G1 but I dont have the data plan is there a way to connect my phone to his wifi?
He needs to have some kind of wi-fi/BT tethering program installed and broadcasting. You would then connect just like you would to any other wireless network.
Can you tell me some tethering apps or how to broadcast it?
My current data plan does not allow tethering, more specifically the use of the phone as an internet modem. But I know apps like PDAnet can bypass it and behaves like a mobile web app so that I won't get charged extra. I was wondering if the Froyo's new WiFi hotspot feature behaves like PDAnet.
Thanks!
yes it does.
It works for me too and I'm loving it.
Sorry to get off topic i didn't want to start an entire thread. If I may speculatr; If any of the 4 major carriers were to allow tethering I think its T-Mobile, they are focused on improving their 3g while the others are worried about 4g and Verizon is even making overtures for tiered, limited plans for 4g. I know very little but T-Mobile is finally losing customers and can't afford to be restrictive plus their relatively few subscribers means they are unlikely to have overuse issues that can disrupt service, plus afaik T-Mobile USA doesn't have mobile data plans other than for cell phones. Again this is all speculation and I don't know if carriers have official positions on tethering but T-Mobile just seems to me the most likely to allow it for free, I don't see how it would cost them anything, and with tethering working so well I'd prefer cheap 3g (which is theoretically super fast by the end of 2010) with tethering and unlimited data than 4g, no tethering, more expensive, and tiered.

I have used PdaNet for a few weeks with great success, but it is only a tether, not a hotspot.
I manually updated to FRF91 a couple days ago and have been using the native Froyo WiFi Hotspot functionality instead of PdaNet.
Overall it seems to work, though there has been occasional weirdness. Sometimes when I try to connect my Windows 7 laptop to the AndroidAP hotspot, it takes forever, and then I get "limited connectivity - no internet access". And sometimes it just works fine. At least once there was no default gateway set after "connecting" (so, no data!). I do not know where the problem is - Windows, Android, or AT&T.
I have read elsewhere (from a Google source) that the carriers CAN SEE if you have the tethering/hotspot function enabled, and in fact THEY CAN DISABLE the functionality remotely. I have also seen other info that contradicts this, though I am predisposed to believe the (claimed) Google source. It doesn't make sense to me that the carriers would allow this functionality onto the phone if they could not control it.
We shall see.....
I am trying to figure out how to make "wireless tethering" between 2 Android phones work. Is it possible? I can't find any info on it.
I have a Captivate with an Unlimited Dataplan and a Captivate without a Dataplan. The one WITHOUT the Dataplan is on AT&T's $50 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web Plan (Prepaid). The Talk and Text work just fine but the internet does not unless I pay for a separate package. I was wanting to use my Rooted Captivated with the Unlimited Dataplan to broadcast my internet over to the other phone when nearby. We don't have Wifi at home. I use the Wireless Tether apk all the time for a laptop, but for some reason the other phone can't see the signal. Any help would be appreciated!
Put a rom that includes mobile ap on the phone with the unlimited data plan, create a hot spot with it, and connect the other phone to it with wifi.
I haven't done any Custom Rom Flashing yet. I was just wondering if it is possible to do it with an App like Wireless Tether apk.
There are instructions on how go fix this around it involves removing tge wirelesstether apk i did it on my stock rom and works great

Just my 2 cents, but you ever thought of using a t mobile rom? This way you wouldn't have to use second party apps for tethering. T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/t-mobile-alliance-rom-att-note-3-t3065127 it has t mobile apps.
I can get native tethering working just used all my data trying to use my unlimited 4G now.wifi thether just gives me 10kbps speeds I don't really like lollipop why I'm on kitkat Idk if the room would make a difference or not.
Hello Everyone.
I am using a VPN and the Wifi Tether Router paid app from the market. I am curious as to how T-mobile still knows I am tethering, as I just got a "You used 80% of your High speed data" text from them (Have unlimited data plan)
Any ideas on how to completely hide? SSL? Proxy? Only seem to have issues with the Playstation and not the PC....
Any help appreciated...
The PS4 data probably shows up different on the network than PC data. I've read that T-Mobile put some new things in place on their end to identify data usage being masked.

I saw similar results. I noticed that when I tether, it doesn't route me through my openVPN connection regardless of the tethering method I use. You can test this on your own, fire up the vpn, then tether to your PC, then go check the external IP on your PC.
You'll most likely need a non-stock ROM for it to work. The ROM probably reports all MACs and the traffic passing through it to T-MO.
