hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Thanks got wifirouter working, just cant get my archos 5 to find it now
On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.
Ok. So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Fresh ROM 1.1. I have the wifi-tether app installed, but my desktop does not have wireless. I normally use PdaNet on Windows 7, but I am now dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 with Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to USB tether my phone to either Ubuntu 9.10 or OpenSuse 1.1. I have tried the little "Sprint MNS rig" and it fails for me every time and every way. I am open to anything! I will even wipe my phone and install a new ROM if needed! I just really want to USB tether my phone to Linux! Thanks!
Unfortunatly, the USB tether app doesn't work on our Hero.
Have you tried running PDAnet in Wine?
This worked for me.

Well I used to tether my diamond to linux all the time and afaik you should be able to get it.
Look up the guide that uses the race condition(enabling sharing before connection grabs), it's on this forum.
Setup a dial up connection in KPPP or w/e your choice is. Have the connection dial #777 and fill in anything for user/pass and that may work.
Best I can think of at the moment.
ROFLMAO.
That link works for me too.
Anyhow i can't think of a laptop that has windows 7 that doesn't have wireless? whats the use having a laptop without wireless? where did you get this state of the art beast. does it have bluetooth?

Maybe you should actually read some of the things you google.
The first link talks about MNS, which he said does not work.
The second link is the same thing.
The third link is this thread.
The fourth link is also MNS.

If you're going to attempt to be a smart ass, at least read the post first instead of seeing what other people say and repeat them.
AFAIK, most desktops do not come with built in wireless cards. Seems you can pick up a small selection of motherboards from Newegg that have a/b/g, but that's about it.
I repeat however, have you tried PDAnet in Wine?
My Windows 7 desktop doesn't have wireless either.
But wireless pci cards are getting cheaper as we speak. That's an option I guess?

Hey smart ass? First off, I said DESKTOP. Secondly, Lets say I DID have a laptop with Windows 7 and no wireless, you mocking it is NOT solving my problem, which is why your post should be reported for low quality. Lastly, "whats the use having a laptop without wireless?" Isn't even a sentence. Stay off my threads. Thanks
And to the guy recommending PdaNET on Wine, No I haven't dude I am looking into it right now.
Here's something else to look into
http://code.google.com/p/azilink/
If you can get the race condition to work, the KPPP connection should work.
If not, try the VPN.
As far as using Wired Tether on 2.1, it seems it runs, the Su request goes through, the computer make the "hardware plugged in noise," but as far as getting data to transfer, nothing.
However I'm at my Mom's house, and her USB ports are all screwed up, so my tests are inconclusive.

First off. Kyle i don't think your mother would appreciate you talking to ppl like that.
Second. yes i did miss read your post. my bad
Third. the second post was funny as hell. and proves you didn't do any searching on this forum much less any other.
so please stop whining and get busy trying to figure it out. if you get stumped post your errors and commands and we'll lend a helping hand.
Third have you tried proxoid?
Also i found this link
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=409949084&blogID=446443940
its for a g1 but you should be able to make it work.
so don't post asking for somebody to figure it out for you unless you search first.
Tethering works just fine for me. It comes up as a wifi access point in network manager, and it also comes up in iwlist for an essid. im using gentoo btw
And im using the wireless tether app which comes in most custom roms to do my tethering
you can download the said app here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Wired tether(the app) doesn't work. I've tried on 1.6, 2.01 and 2.1. It's an incompatibility with our Heros it seems.
And at above poster, he said NOT wireless.

First off, My mom is dead. Died when I was six jackass.
Secondly, You must not have learned your lesson about READING THE POSTS huh? I said I have been searching since 5 A.M. for an answer but all have failed, or aren't companionable.
Lastly, I have already found that. For some reason, I can not establish a connection. It will not even pick up the fact that there is a wired connection.
P.S. Proxoid is NOT what I am looking for. It does not connect like an internet connection and I have to go through every program I want to use for the internet and change the proxy settings manually. Not only that, it lags, disconnects, and the response time is terrible.

Oh, my b. And in the 2.1 build, if you go into wireless settings and enable mobile network sharing, it comes as an interface usb0 in which you can dhcpcd it to gain internet access
I haven't tested this, but you could probably get the same usb0 interface using this app: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

i still don't think she would appreciate your tone. and even though you have been searching you have yet to pick one possible solution and post any errors that you have had. you just ***** that you can't figure it out and flame everybody that finds humor at the "third" post. BTW its around 5 am somewhere in the world so that doesn't prove a thing.
Hi guys, I've had a look around the net and asked on other forums, but can't seem to find the answer to my problems, so someone recommended here.
Apologies, if this has already been covered, but I did have a search and couldn't find what I was looking for.
I think I have two problems, don't know if they are related, but don't think so.
Problem 1:
Got the Galaxy S for my daughter for Christmas. She has never been able to log in to the android marketplace. She was using the her google log in which wasn't a gmail account. Today I signed her up a gmail account, and tried again and got the following error message:
You don't have a network connection.
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when connected to a mobile network, or connect to a wi-fi network. If the problem continues, call customer care.

The phone is definitely connected the net by wi-fi, which I have proved to be working correctly.
Problem 2:
To try and solve problem 1, I thought I would see if the firmware was up-to-date, however, I can't get the phone to connect to Kies. I have tried on two different laptops, one running Vista and one Windows 7. It seems to be saying it's some kind of driver problem. I have clicked on install drivers on Kies, but it makes no difference.
I have made sure the phone is selected Kies. I have also tried selecting mass storage and connecting through My Computer, but still it doesn't recognise the phone.
I believe the phone's firmware is out of date, as it is 2.1 update 1 and I believe 2.2 is available.
Apologies for the long post, can anybody help me to get Kies and marketplace working?
I am not interested in jailbreaking the phone, as it's for my daughter.
The phone is a contract phone, in the UK with orange. I have made sure orange safe guard is not active.
Thanks in advance, if you need anymore infor, i will try and supply it.
Any idea's?
Bump.
Can anybody help or is the best option to try a factory restore / take it back to the shop?
Well there is alot of tread that explain how you connect to kies.
If you can use internet then it should work.
Have you try to power of the phone and wait 5 minutes and then power it on?

I have got the market place working by doing a factory restore, but for the life of me, I can't get the phoned connected to Kies to do a firmware update.
I have tried on 4 different laptops.
1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
2. Windows 7 Home Basic.
3. Windows Vista.
4. Windows XP.
and I can't get it to connect on any of them.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing Kies. I have tried using different usb wires and ports. Phone charges by usb when plugged in.
I have tried connecting the phone in both Kies mode and Mass Storage mode.
The error I keep getting seems to be a driver error:
Device Driver software was not successfully installed.
Please consult your device manufacturer for assistance in getting this device installed.

tell me if that trick works
Are you using a USB hub? If so don't . Plug it straight into the rear USB of your computer.
Do you have Bluetooth active? Turn it off.
Are you using any other Home than the one it came with (the screen you see when you first turn it on)? Go back to the stock TW Launcher
In the Kies Tools menu click on Install Driver and then try again after it's finished.
Finally if it is still not connecting leave it plugged in and go into device manager. If the drivers show up there they should be listed as Samsung i9000 if I remember then right click and un-install drivers then unplug phone and plug it back in after a few moments.
Also use the cabel that did come with.the phone.

I usually share my Internet connection through Connectify and my HD2 had no problems connecting at all. However I am unable to detect the signal even on my Gnote. Does anyone else have this problem?
Make sure there is an access point when u connect using connectify.

i m not able to even list the network on my note while i could use it on my nokia c7. would you plz help. i do i resolve this.
I have the very same problem over here. Can´t connect to my Intel My Fi Hotspot (which worked like a charme with my SGSII). I even don´t see a wifi list...
hi guyz, i bought my SP month ago and i had positive and negative reactions. SP has a lot of bugs, i hope that they are software bugs and that with new update, they will be removed. my biggest problem is that when i connect my phone to pc it doesn't show that it is connected, it isn't charging and pc companion doesn't recognise it. the funny thing is that i could charge (over pc) it 2 weeks ago and suddenly one day it won't charge. i tried with mass storage mode but it doesn't help too. it charges only when my PC is turned off but i don't need "another charger", i need to connect my phone with pc to transfer data. let's say that this doesn't matter if i can update my phone over wi-fi, but if i can't what the hell i'm gonna do ? i don't wanna go to repair it, it's a new cellphone ! i'm from Croatia and if someone knows : can i update over wi-fi or i have to connect it to usb ? because it says that in some countries it can update over wi-fi and somewhere it can't. i would be very grateful if someone could really help me, thanks !

Of course you need to connect your phone with USB..

before you go and call someone trying to help you blind you should keep in mind they don't have to help you. that said try turning it off plugging it in then powering on while connected. you can every try pressing the button on the back to reset the battery.
Have you actually tried using another USB-port?
What you are refering to is an OTA, over the air software update, not a drivers installation
ok sorry, but i thought i explained everything.. i didn't say that i expect PC to install drivers, i said if i could connect my cellphone via wi-fi and download software updates without involving pc .. ? if i can, half of problem is solved..
hmmm, i'm not sure about any root app or something similar.. i have several games,whatsapp,soundhound,ringtone maker,instagram,file manager,di radio,accu weather, but i don't think that they are responsible for this..
i tried all usb ports. yup, maybe i said it wrong.
i'll try to reset it now.

hmm that's weird... if you can't connect with stock firmware, maybe it's a hardware problem? Does your PC recognize other devices on USB ports?
Does the phone charge while connected to AC adapter?

Edit: My guess is that's hardware related. Maybe too low mAh to charge with the USB cables? I have no clue

Thanks ! I went to store to repair it on monday, and they told me to come in 3 days to pick up the phone. so i did but they told me that phone is still being tested cause it's relatively new. i think that this is the hardware problem and sony's poor socket charger quality. we will see..

i knew that they are noobish only in software field, but i always thought that it's not a big deal cause with new update the most of the bugs get fixed. now they proved that they suck also in hardware field, maybe not for flagships, but definitely for mid-range phones or lower.. i won't forget to ask what was the problem, don't worry
