USB tether w/o Root. PDAnet for Android Available now!

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.

[Q] SPB TV on Galaxy tab

Hi to all
Had anyone managed to use SPB TV without problem using WIFI only?
I had installed SPB TV, I see the channels, when I choose a channel I see the guide, and the thumbnail of the channel, but when I press to see the picture ( channel streaming ) I have black picture, buffering is always at 0%
I use it with WIFI only
Everything else, Youtube, internet is working fine

works fine for me, wifi or not

You are using Galaxy Tab?
Why is not working with mine? have you any idea?
The same application in my iphone is working fine. using the same wifi
I have installed the same application in a chinese tablet having eclair 2.1 and it is not working. Same problem as the tab.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

It works flawlessly for me on wifi, but very badly on 3G. I usually get 3 bars 3G signal, so the signal can't get much better. Still poo though.

I dont use 3G, and I had disabled the use of 3g for data. For me streaming through wifi is not possible, I cannot find the reason why, Running the same application through my pc and iphone is working fine using the same network.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

Yes, I use it on my GT and an HTC HD2.
Hard to figure out why yours isn't working as there's really no option to set up in this program.
It requires a reliable 3G or WiFi conection to work, and while wifi at home should always be reliable, when connected to 3G I often get the channel logo, the guide and "instant picture" but then clicking on it I may get this error message: "impossible to connect to the TV server, check your internet connection".
But no buffer shows.
Maybe it's your wifi modem firewall problem so you have to open a special gate.

Streaming protocols for tablet might be different from phone and blocked for some reason.
Try on another WiFi and make sure you have the latest build of SPB TV

I installed it on mine last night and it works fine, though it`s mostly non English channels.

Hi to all
Very strange, I want you to do the above test to check through the broswer if you follow the links if you have picture, and with what application
I have no message about connection problem. I use Rottohammers Rom V2 but I don't think this is the problem.
I had sent a message in the SPB support, I will sent you the answers and the details of my case, If you have any idea.
I had tested it in three devices 2 tablets, iphone, and my PC
Read the details above
=======================================
Thank you for your message and interest in SPB Software.
Please, open this page in the browser on your device: http://www.spbgo.com/stest
You will see several links to video streams. Try launching the first three.
How do these streams play?
Best regards,

Hi and thank you for the quick answer
Very very strange what is happening here....
I tried it using 2 broswers, The stock and the Dolhin, I used 3 applications to open the streams, Stock Video application, mVideo Player, and Vplayer.
ALL SEVEN LINKS gives NO PICTURE ( Black picture ) Very strange.....
I tried to open all 7 links using VLC player on my PC running windows 7 and all links are playing Video very good.
I don't know what to guess
Using your windows application, I have very good picture on my PC
Using your iphone application , I have good picture on my iphone
Using the same application in my Galaxy Tab and in another Chinese tablet gives NO PICTURE
Since VLC on my PC has picture means that ISP has no problem ( My Pc is connected to my router with LAN cable and a static IP )
iphone and the 2 tablets are connected wireless to the same router with DHCP, Why iphone is working and not the tabs running android?
My router is very good one a Draytek Vigor 2710n I double checked, not changes are made to close rtsp streams ( There is no such choice in setup )
I tried to connect to the net with another access point I have a NETGEAR the same problem. ( The NETGEAR is only access point and it is connected to my Draytek Modem-router-Wifi, through a LAN cable,So if something is blocked in the modem, the NETGEAR will not give access I guess... )
I will going to be crazy, what else might be the cause of the problem??????
========================================
I had tried in my Pc using Android SDK virtual Pc and it is not working eather.
Thanks in advance

I'd suggest backing up your existing ROM and trying a wipe.
It may well be you have an application blocking access.
Of course, if you don't have ClockworkMod on your Tab, this is going to be a pain, but it's still probably the best course of action at this stage.
FWIW, I'm running the MoDaCo ROM, and SPB TV works perfectly for me. I was surprised to find it was a free app now, as I purchased it ages ago on my Hero, but never bothered installing it on my later phones/tablet.
Regards,
Dave

Hi
If you read my post you will see that SPB TV it is not working
in my Galaxy Tab, a Chinese Tablet running Eclair 2.1, and in the virtual PC Running Android SDK
So I think it is not ROM problem.. Roto V2 runs fine in my Tab
Please make the test above with the link sent to me by SPB support, to tell me the results, if with the stock broswer, and the stock video player you have picture folowing the links
Thanks

I did read your post! If you *read* my post, you will see that SPB TV *is* working for me. Therefore, testing the links you provided is a pointless exercise, because naturally I'd expect them to work if the app does, but regardless of this I've tested and yes they are fine. I also never stated that it was a ROM problem - I said that another application may be blocking access.
So - what have we established:
1. There is nothing wrong with the application on my Galaxy Tab
2. There is nothing wrong with streams on my Galaxy Tab
3. Other than you, everyone else who has posted on this thread is not having issues with SPB TV on their Galaxy Tabs.
This doesn't help you at all unless you are prepared to take some advice and actually try something different.
Blithely stating it is not a ROM problem when it quite possibly is is just nonsense, when thus far everyone else who has posted on this thread has said that it works for them!
Regards,
Dave

Hi my friend thanks for the detailed answer.
I said that I think it is not rom problem, because, SPB TV is not working in my chinese tab running eclair 2.1, and also in my PC running android sdk Froyo 2.2 virtual PC.
So if the application was running in the other two devices, it was sure, that something was going in my GalaxyTab
From the SPB tech they told me to open some ports, but I don't think this is the reason. Ports in the router are opened if you want others access something in your network
So the next thing to do is check the application in another network outside mine
Perhaps it is my ISP problem...
I had tried also to open the ports but no success.
I don't know what other to check my router is a Draytek Vigor 2710N

works for me too

Roto JMIv2 and everything works fine here, both on 3g and wifi.
Can't really imagine what kind of issue you stumbled upon...

Hi
Finally it is my router problem. I tried an old and cheaper roouter I had and it works fine, now in my router a draytek vigor vpn, i try to find out what is blocking rtsp. I had not set any blocking, I had emailed the Draytek Vigor support, to tell me how to fix the problem, only if I put the tabs ip in Dmz host it works, but I want the Dmz host for my Dvr.

I try to use via WIFI - not working
Try to use on the same tab via - 3g - work fine
On the router firewall - disabled...
Whats the problem? -(

Changing the router to Cisco e4200 helps me)

[Q] Connected to WiFi network, but no internet connection [WebOS]

Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).

PDAnet on Samsung Galaxy S9

PDAnet is able to directly share internet over USB, but it seems limited in what it can do. I can hardly connect to any game servers, steam's download speeds are slow (Figured it may be some Steam port issue but I also have problems with Origin so I'm unsure), and I can't directly connect to other peoples lobbies. I'm using Ver 5.10.5 of Pdanet (and have paid version) and am wondering if anyone knows a possible solution. I tested connection with built in USB tethering and I was able to connect, but I'd rather not blow through the limit for the built in option

I would second this. When I upgraded to the s9 plus everything got slow.... Any solutions?

So far I haven't had any success. With limited testing the hotspot would sometimes be faster for downloading games on Steam, but it's not too reliable for in-game

I got this from the company:
> 1. Uninstall PdaNet+ from your phone
> 2. Open the we browser on the phone and go to http://pdanet.co/install
> tap on the link to the apk file to download and install it.
> 3. Open PdaNet on the phone and tap the "3 dot" menu icon, select "IPv6
> support" from the menu, then select "IPv6 prioritized".
> 4. Enable USB mode and connect PdaNet.

Thank you, I'll try this as soon as I get the chance and report back

Ended up getting faster download speeds when using IPv6, though still had trouble connecting to servers. Think I figured out the problem when playing Torchlight II and it brought up I had a strict NAT. Not sure how to change it for mobile tethering but I'll keep looking

Nokia 7 Plus TA-1062 - Cannot Cast/No device found when trying to cast

So as the title says, I can't use the cast/screen mirroring feature in phone. I just cannnot connect to any tv
Whenever I try to cast, it doesn't show any devices at all. Null. and using the button from the notification dropdown, it just searches endlessly.
Some notes:
1. No problem with network. No problem with TV. Other phones work just fine, and doesn't take more than a minute to find device.
2. I tried not only on my TV but on other TV's as well with cast feature. My TV is Hisense smart 39", 39A5605.
3. Already did several restarts, disabled active apps (like adguard), still same.
4. My phone is using the latest PIE update (official update but sideloaded)
5. Already tried connecting on the same WiFi network. Still didn't work. Other devices can connect to the TV without the need to connect on the same wifi network.
6. Already tried turning both mobile data and wifi while scanning. still nothing.
7. Already tried disconnecting current wifi connection (set network to 'forget) but left wifi on while scanning. Still no device found.
8. Already tried installing some apps (like Google Home app and other cast app). Nothing.
9. Already went to developer options and turned on 'Wireless Display Certification', but no additional options show up on my cast screen (like listening mode etc). Just plain nothing.
10. There's no three-dot menu on the cast screen that will show 'enable wireless display.' just a search icon on the top right and nothing more.
I really wanted to find a solution, but can't find a specific fix. I hope somebody here will help. Please. Please I'm desparate.
By the way, I know some will say I should do a factory resetting, but please understand if I say no for now. Because if I do, I'll lose a lot of settings and configuration (system-level and app-level), among other hassle it may incur.
