Tethering app out for Dev Phones!

I was just browsing the Android Market earlier today and then I found an app called "aNetShare". It does the same as WMWifiRouter (minus a few features such as encryption and custom SSID), but still it works well!
You need a rooted\Dev phone in order to get it working, but it is available for free from the Android Market!

unfortunately like WMWifiRouter i cannot seem to get my linux computer to find the AP, oh well back to tetherbot

i have been using wifi tether for root users and it is working great and alot easier then the iptables great app

Yeah, but the wifi tether only works through the phone's wifi.. then the point is kinda gone.. This one uses the 3G\HSDPA\GPRS connection!

Wifi Tether for Root Users uses EDGE/HSDPA/GPRS. You connect your computer to the phone via wifi, and the phone in turn connects to the internet via EDGE/HSDPA/GPRS. Not sure what else there is. I guess the ability to connect the computer to the phone via BT amd USB.

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 as an wireless access point hot spot

Clearly, you can use the tethering within Kies to connect to the interweb which is a massive bonus over most other 2.1 versions
Has anyone investigated using a Galaxy as a Wireless Access Point?
There's a 'droid app here
h t t p : / / c o d e .g o o g l e. c o m / p / android-wifi-tether /
But the Galaxy S isn't mentioned.
Does anyone know of an app that would work the same?
Basically, I want to avoid having to swap my Sim into a MiFi type device (Google it if you've no idea what I'm talking about)

I tried today:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
"wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk"
and .. it works. Sometimes Ive got some "unknown state", but restart (app) will work.

Eh, its built into the galaxy s. RTFM.

I know how to tether using Kies
I'm talking about setting my phone up so that I can not only access the interweb from my PC using Kies, but also PSP, DS, netbook and so on.

D'OH!
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile-AP Settings -> Mobile Accesspoint

I thought all Galaxy S phones has mobile AP already built in as standard.
Steps:
Head to settings > Wireless and network > Mobile AP settings
Once in this area, if you have wifi turned on already it will pop up with the following message 'Disconnect Wi-Fi for using Mobile AP'. Click yes.
Next, click the menu key and click settings. In the options that appear,
- tick 'Mobile AP'
- untick 'Hide my device'
- tick 'Tethering' (if you wanna use)
and use the connection password in that screen to connect or use your own.
This all works for me.

Exactly THAT is built in!!!!!!
A wireless AP!

Yup, you're right cheers.
Now setup and working.
What's odd is that most plans in the UK actually ban tethering and yet the SGS is the only Android phone that has all this functionality out-of-the-box.

Yes, we lucky users

I have US version vibrant from T-Mobile, I don't see this Mobile AP settings. Do I need to disable the sense UI to see it?

IIRC I think all US carriers are blocking it except for Sprint.

[Solved] Possible to use I9000 as a wireless modem using wifi NOT 3g?
I was wondering if there is some way to have the Galaxy S allow a WIFI connection when wired to a computer as it does not seem to naturally allow this.
Asking because I've just moved an old desktop pc upstairs and too cheap to by wireless usb modem.

lets try to understand you a bit more
so you want to share your SGS internet connection with another computer using WiFi
but you do not want it to use 3G for data.
Then how are you supposed to connect to the internet without a Conexion to the internet?
the USB dongle to RJ45 is not compatible with SGS

I think he wants this:
internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC
instead of standard tethering:
internet->mobile broadband->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC

I should have mentioned in the original post that I have a wireless router for all my internet connection needs. I was hoping to utilise the Galaxy S in connecting my old pc to my unlimited cable internet provider through wifi rather than to limited 500mb package through phone provider (3G).
So like zorxd said "internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC"
I take it this is deliberately restricted to force using provider, anyway around it?

that scenario is possible
look for the pdanet app
it enables the USB tethering
but why not just put in a cheap $5 10/100/1000 nic or usb wireless to the old PC ?

I agree with this. Might as well buy a usb wireless unless you're only using the internet on the old PC a few times per month or something.

The pdanet app looks to be perfect for what I need. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Allgamer.
This is the most convenient option for infrequent use on a desktop I may be using for parts in a few weeks time.

The Mobile AP option is not available with SFR in France either.
Is there any way that this can be enabled?
I installed appbrain - and it lists mobile AP setting as an installed app. However, I'm not able to enable it. Any pointers?

Rtfm. Lmao.

reverse tethering?

greetings,
just got my first android phone a week ago. captivate. kicks arse. anyways ive been wondering if there is a way to 'reverse tether'. in other words share my pc internet with my phone so i dont have to use so much of my data. i dont have wifi on my pc but i have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into usb that enables connection of bluetooth devices. i was thinking maybe i could tunnel thru the bluetooth and somehow access internet thru that. wishful thinking or a possibility?

Actually what u want to do is create a adhoc network where ur computer sends out wifi via a incripted network go to network and sharing center and go to create a adhoc network u can look it up in ur help guide its differing with each operating system hoped I helped

Ad hoc eh? Been seeing ad hoc something-or-anothers in the market and whatnot and wasn't sure what it was. That would be setup within windows on mah pc correct? And then mah phone would just recognize it as an available wifi connection?

Non rooted phones can't connect to Ad-Hoc networks.

Yeah im rooted. Should have made that clear right off the bat, sorry. That being said, it IS possible then to tunnel thru the bluetooth dongle and use my pc's internet? Remember, my pc doesnt have wifi
Just cable internet. Im just looking too leech off my pc with my phone and not vice-versa.

Since the PC has bluetooth, you can create a Bluetooth NAP or PAN on the PC side. This creates a "personal area network" that you can then connect to from the phone. Some bluetooth PC software supports this, some do not. Depends what your dongle supports!

right on! thanks for the reply.
i was actually trying the PAN option yesterday after discovering it via google. couldnt get it to work tho. i get stuck at the part where i have to select the service i am wanting. it says the only services available from my captivate are Active sync, Headset Gateway, Object Push, Obex File Transfer. Active Sync seemed to be the closest thing but when selected it doesnt add a shortcut in my devices like the options do so i figured it didnt work. far as i know active sync id for winmobile or something anyways so i wasnt counting on it.
Any advise from here? It's all very much appreciated.

This too must have already been covered. I'll look elsewhere.

As said before, unfortunately Android does seem to connect to Ad-Hoc networks easily.If you are running Windows 7, you can use Connectify to create a WiFi hotspot and connect through that.
The other alternate is to create an Ad-Hoc network and join that network. I have not been able to get this working correctly yet but other phones have.
The problem is that the native wpa_supplicant filters all the ad-hoc networks from the wifi network list.
You can get the patched wpa_supplicant with allows you to see all the networks here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Remember to get the 0.6.x version.
Then I believe you have to set your wifi to use a static ip to be able to connect.
The last time I tried I managed to get a connection on Froyo ROMS but no data. It just might be my settings on either ends.

excellent reply. thanks are in order here.

For closure, I ended up using connectify. Works perfectly.

Wi-Fi Hotspot 2.1.2116262123.83950 not working?

I have a custom ROM based on the official 2.3.5 ROM (3.12.405.1) and the HTC WiFi Hotspot application doesn't work. The app starts and wireless devices can associate with it and lease IP addresses via DHCP but they can't access the Internet. I think its a NAT problem in the application because I can resolve names from my PC as the phone is proxying the DNS lookups - i.e. open a command prompt on my PC and type 'nslookup www.google.com' and I get valid answers. If I try to access the Internet with the browser it fails.
I have downloaded android-wifi-tether and this works as long as the 'Routing Fix' is checked in the settings. I was hoping not to have to have this alternate WiFi Tether application and use the integrated one.
Just tested USB Tethering and the results are the same - i.e. PC gets an IP address and can resolve names but can't access the Internet. I assume this is something fundamental in the NAT/Routing being done by the phone?

Really weird... Sounds like your mobile data connection is down. (I'm sure you already checked that)
Flash some other ROM with same base and try.

I can access the Internet on the phone when its running so I know there is connectivity. As I say I think its something fundamental with the NAT/routing on the phone - I am not sure how to debug it further?
Andy

I am not sure why but this fixed it for me:
http://androidforums.com/1734672-post32.html
I assume with Orange the WiFi Hotspot App uses this 'Consumer Broadband' connection and not the default 'Orange Internet' connection. I was tempted to delete the 'Consumer Broadband' APN and see what happens, a job for another day though as I need to use it at the moment.

Ad hoc support for ics?

Hi,
Is there any sulotions for ICS to support ad hoc? I have searched alot and I need to connect my Note to my PC's internet. The problem is that my pc is to old to support connectify etc...
Reverse tethering app uses my data plan in order to appear the connection as 3G. And it uses cable. Not good enough.
Ad hoc would be best option.
Thank you

If you ever heard of an application for Nokia called JOIKU HOTSPOT you will be interested on this topic. I use joiku hotspot on my nokia phone to enable to connect to multiple devices at home. I don't have wired internet. Since this is an ahhoc wifi hotspot I am not updating to ICS unless a hack is available to enable wpa supplicant to "see" the joiku adhoc signal. On gingerbread I had to download and install a modified wpa supplicant file to connect to joiku .

I have used joiku on my nokia
exactly i still dont understand wat exact you want.
You saying reverse tethering have some issue - Now reverse tether application using your wired Internet of your PC for your android device
While Joiku spot is for sharing your device network to PC
So question is you want to share net from your device to PC
OR
want to share PC internet to device?
Edit :wat i understand now is
You dont have wifi router, but just you have created wireless netwok (virtual) and you want to share your device net to PC wirelessly
if yes
try this, it have ad hoc support if i remember correctly, since long i have not used it.

I am not the OP. Anyway I want to share my nokia phone internet connection thru joiku with my galaxy note Wifi. I tried ICS briefly but it does not detect joiku. Back to GB now and I can connect to joiku thru nokia phone.

I don't know. It is strange. If i have no credits in my sim card, and I connect to internet via the app, it goes fine. But I can't see connection as 3G and some apps don't work due to this.
Then when I put credits to my sim card, the connection appears as 3G. And the data plan button turns green whenb checking in setings. If i turn of I lose coonection as 3G. Some times it doesn't use data plan, but often it does.
BTW, I never use data plan for anything it is always disabled, but the reverse tether app turns on.
No idea what is wrong.

OMG! He said that the reverse tether is not using my data plan. Thats why I wrote that and thats why i ASKED in first post if someone have a solution for AD HOOOOC.
I never asked for anything else than a solution for ad hoc support for ICS for galaxy note.
And u shoud had started ur own post with ur nokia. U ruined the thread too
