3G mobile hotspot

alright i know i got this somewhere on another forum and found it to be a great way to wifi tether out of the box with out root
on the phone do ##778 goto edit mode enter 000000 then into the security settings change the S.IP DUN User name to [email protected] and back out of there to the M.IP Default Profile and change your DUN NAI to [email protected] hit menu and hit Commit Modifications.
I have tested and verified this works 100% with no problems.
Granted to have the 3g mobile hot spot option you need to have loaded the leaked OTA but i see this would also work when 2.2 is released!
Also sorry if this is in the wrong area and please feel free to move it where it belongs.

I am just using the wifi tether app from the market place.. I am scared if I am using the VZW app I will get hit with charges.

make no mistake im using the wifi tether app too but this is an alternative as this also gives you a widget option for turning on and off.

Sweet has anyone confirmed no charges or crazy letters from VZW??

One thing I did notice is that this method uses infrastructure as opposed to the ad-hoc mode of wireless tether.

well thats some good news then

the method which you described is on xda some place, the thread was started right near the time the phone came out in late april. it also doesnt not require root, but it is a usb tether not wifi tether. i dont believe you can do wifi tether without root

I believe this will work without root. You just need to apply the leaked OTA and make the appropriate changes in the first post. I'm not able to verify that since I'm rooted.

i cant get my laptop to get the ip address. i was able to connect to the mobile hot spot but cannot get the ip address. i tried, wep, wpa and no key. Any ideas???
thanks

have you tried repairing on your computer and also verifiying your TCP/IP settings on your laptop that its set to accept DHCP and not be static

[email protected] is the username that your phone uses to connect to the internet, and [email protected] is what Mobile Broadband Connect and the 3G Mobile Hot Spot uses to connect.
Unless you're using obscene amounts of data you shouldn't be caught. This is doing exactly the same thing that the Wifi Tethering app and PDANet does, though I can certainly understand why you'd be scared.

it works fine with wireless tether. same laptop same settings

Does anyone know if this works (with the appropriate @xxx.com) for sprint phones like the hero or the evo 4g? Couldn't find anything in their forums.
Thanks and sorry for the wrong phone section post.

I would imagine if u looked at their settings that it should work, but thats a SHOULD only way to know is to give it a shot and if it doesnt then you need to remember what the settings were prior.

Guys, be careful with this - I used to do this with my VX8300 back in the day and although it worked great, I eventually did get a letter from VZW saying to stop or they would terminate my contract, and I didnt even use it that much.
Just a heads up...

O'RLY?
I've used this for long time from the Vogue to Imagio and now DINC, nothing happened...
Did you tether to P2P? Downloading bunch of stuff? If so, you're sticking out like a sore thumb...

Yeah wonder how they would find out. It's the same exact internet connection that your phone uses. You're just "sharing" it with other devices. How would Verizon be able to tell if you're using that same internet but on a different device? Assuming of course that you aren't using it for online gaming or torrents or other bandwidth intensive applications.

The VX8300 didn't have much of a browser. I imagine if you ever did much of anything on there and didn't have a tethering plan then it would look suspicious.

Cisco VPN - Anyconnect ?

I've searched many treads and also put up a few posting in the past.
I know Anyconnect is not available for the Xoom/Andriod OS at this time, but has anyone found an "easy" way to connect to a Cisco VPN system.
I was able to install certs as needed and tried a few workarounds, but no luck.
This is the a must have for me and I know a lot of others.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was able to get my Cisco VPN to connect by rooting and using VPN Connections.

Thanks for the response...
Couple of questions
You mentioned rooted? Did you change kernel also?
3g or Wifi model? (I have Wifi)
When you say VPN connections, do you mean a app or the stock connect in the system?
Did you tranfer your certificates to the Xoom?
Sorry for all the questions. I've had a Gtab since November and just picked up a Xoom after holding out for a month.
Glad I made the purchase.....

I should mention the Cisco VPN I'm connecting to only uses grou passwords
I'm using the 3G model, and it is rooted with the tun.ko module available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972550&highlight=tun.ko.
VPN Connections is a root app available from http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

The problem is, that the VPN Connection with anyconnect is totally unstable and with all the other Cisco VPN-concentrators its the same problem. That is the result of how android is programmed. i Tried to get a stable cisco-vpn connection on a nexus one, nexus s and optimus speed. All failed. You had to copy a tun.ko file, specific for the phone. then you where able to connect to a normal cisco vpn concentrator (not anyconnect concentrator). but that worked only once. every time after that, the vpn connection was so unstable i could only get it up for some secounds. thats why i bought an iPhone as smartphone and use the xoom as tethering.
what i want to try the next few days is, connect with the free iOS Any-Connect / VPN protocoll on the iPhone and then tether my xoom to use the same connection there. dunno if it will work

So far, that is the only way I can get a "connection." However, there does not appear to be any traffic going across the connection and VPN Connections hangs when I try to disconnect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had no luck connecting to my work VPN. We use Cisco Anyconnect and SecurID. The Cisco rep has been saying a client is in the works but nothing so far. This is the only think keeping the Xoom from really being a laptop replacement for me. Sucks.

Agreed!

I can't connect either but my setup is a little different. I log into Cisco SSL VPN Service through the website, which requires UN/PW/Group. When connecting for the 1st time on a device, it downloads and installs the VPN client. Through this method it performs:1)Platform Detection; 2)ActiveX; 3)Java Detection; 4)Sun Java; 5)Download & 6)Connected. But when signing in using my Xoom it hangs at step 5(Download). It displays a link, Linux i386, but it does nothing when clicking on it. Does anyone have this file or know a way around this?

The problem is google wont allow cisco into the kernal. The app is done at Cisco, but google is holding up the show. Cisco also has a new light weight vpn client that is more of an on demand app that will work with Jabber. (which works on xoom, i have it loaded)

What is the name of the light weight app that works on the Xoom?

if you flash the tiamat kernal and install the tun.ko you should be able to use the updated VPNC to connect just fine. i use my SecurID with this same setup and tunnel in daily for work. it sure does beat carrying a laptop around.
Also, Office chat is a office communicator app if your work uses it. basically i never have to carry a laptop around. I also use evernote. Onenote is great but evernote stores in the cloud and syncs to my phone, laptop, and xoom instantly will no setup necessary. Try it out.

Thanks for the tip Holsum. My Xoom isn't rooted yet but I'll investigate for my NexusOne which is already rooted and I'm very familiar with hacking on it. I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.

When I run the vpn widget and test prerequisites it says that it doesn't have root. I am rooted running the newest tiamat kernel and the superuser app popped up and allows me to grant the app root... any idea why it thinks it doesn't have root?

Masqed Crusader: effective or defective?

Mobile ap isn't working for me any more. *sad face* The market app called Masqed Crusader screwed it up. Supposedly it only changed my dns from stock to goggle's dns. The whole point is to speed up the network. Unfortunately I think it may have changed other settings too because mobile ap will appear to connect but won't transmit any data. Even after uninstall the settings won't revert back to normal. Need to know how to find my original settings so I can try to set it back. Also, has any one else tried this app out with success?

It's worked fine for me. Doesn't make a huge difference, but never had any problems.

It tells you that tether won't work when you activate it. Just reboot your phone, or go back into the app and revert settings.

I'm surprised there aren't more posts on this. I've done every trouble shoot possible. My on board tether is completely shot (usb and wireless). I can still connect to the internet and found an app called PDAnet for usb tether, but even wifi tether from google will throw my phone into a kernel panic... No help at all guys?

[Q] Wifi Tether not working???

Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?

haven't gotten it to work for me either.

I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?

You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.
Little Buddy Sr.

I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.

actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.

Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.

wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom

I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App

mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.

update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi

under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?

Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!

If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).

Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.

also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM

drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.

WiFi tethering TO Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE - help!

Hi,
I followed orlandoxpolice's instructions for Da_G's gtab 8.9 LTE root at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401100
and I am now rooted. The reason I did this was so that I can use the LTE service from my laptop in those travel situations in which the gtab's browser doesn't work as well as my laptop's would for some websites that I need to use on the road.
However, I can't get tethering to work. Maybe this is a Honeycomb issue? I installed the latest Barnacle, and it grabbed superuser perms and seemed to run perfectly, but I get no Internet access from my laptop when I tether to the gtab, even though I connect to the gtab and get a dhcp ip address with no problem. I also tried Android WiFi Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but that produces the same result. Has anyone else gotten this working?
Thanks!

can't say i have tried this, but could it be a driver issue on your laptop? have you tried tethering with your desktop or any other computer?

Hmm, ROM or kernel might not have the necessary bits to route packets for tethering, I made a note to take a look at things next time I get a chance. Still no device though so I'll be doing it in the blind ROM doesn't have android tether app built into settings -> wireless & networks I take it?
