Tether GPS antenna

This may have to go in the Q&A section, but i assume it would be something for the devs to look into.
Is there any way to output the GPS data over the USB or bluetooth connections? The same way we can tether the modem of the phone, Can we tether the GPS device of the phone?
Interesting idea. I don't think I'd have much use for it now but I used to have a carPC and it would have been handy for that.
I hope someone can help you
There is an app out that can output GPS date over an ADB link. But its experienced developer use only. I have a carPC and this is exactly why i am looking at doing this. The AGPS module in the N1 would be great to tether to a carputer
i'm sure this is like the 3rd time i've seen the same question asked in the space of two days!
this is a great idea to tether to a laptop which has local maps.
I am going camping and cant use my goggle GPS on my phone so this would come in handy ...
maybe next year lol..
Wish Google would let you temporarily select a state or two for local download for trips, yea that would be great!

Well after a search revealed nothing, maybe you would be so kind as to possibly contribute, rather than just point out its been discussed already. If there is more info in another thread, please send a link and at least appear to be trying to help

Stock.
Wrong forum whine for +10chars.
Thanks captain useful... I put a request for an app in the nexus development section sorry... maybe a mod would redirect me but for some guy who is as clueless as I am to come on here and tell me I'm whining when in reality he doesn't have a fix for it or even advice...
Its funny how only mods/devs are useful and the rest (not all, had some great advice from here) are just snarky users who pounce on a mispost... go back to flaming on youtube.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
So again I ask is there an app or a mod that modifies an existing tether app to allow wifi tethering via usb instead of 3g/edge... OR can a mod please direct me to where I should be posting... That way I won't have to deal with flamers... Thank you xda

The phone tethers over wifi via USB stock. Just try it, it works.
really... Wow well il try that at home... Thanks in advance... Every android user is allowed one stupid question
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Me thinks you owe someone an apology.
and save YOUR snarky comments for youtube...
you come into a dev forum and ask for some one to spoon feed you an answers to newbie questions, an excusable offense, but the attitude you complained someone else had, is the one you felt the need to display.
Hypocrites suck, especially ones asking for help, then cop attitude because they are too dumb to read the post that helps them.
Especially when the answer was in the 2nd post, which you ignored.
Stock isn't an answer... And the solution still hasn't been found... All bs aside is there something I'm not getting... I tether via usb with the stock tethering and on the comp side it shows up as ethernet 2... now in the network settings it won't connect to my "ethernet" is there something else I over looked or are their manual settings that need to be input.?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks for the useless, unhelpful comment Tbirdguy... Seriously how much attitude are we talking here... I asked a pretty basic question as the stock tether won't work for me which is actually a big deal as I need internet for my work... He didn't answer my question and he told me off for whining... So I gave him a piece of my mind and when Pwig helped out I admitted my stupidity and I admit I probably posted in the wrong forum but hey at least I'm getting ppls thoughts on it negative our positive... Il gladly buy whoever can help solve this one a beer, granted you have a paypal account

I'll entertain this even if it's in the wrong forum.
It'd be nice to be able to share wifi in the absence of 3g. One perfect situation is in hotels where only one computer has assess to the pay-for-access wifi internet.
1) You can't share WiFi over WiFi. You can, though, share WiFi using USB.
2) COMPLETELY STOCK PHONE SHARES WHATEVER INTERNET CONNECTION IT HAS - WIFI OR 3G - USING USB TETHERING. IT CREATES VIRTUAL ETHERNET ADAPTER ON USB. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED DRIVER FOR THIS. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED RESTART TO ACTIVATE THE WORKING PHONE CONNECTION AS PRIMARY. SOME COMPUTERS MIGHT REQUIRE DISABLING OTHER, NON-WORKING CONNECTIONS.
3) I hope the caps were big enough to end this thread that shouldn't have begun (or at least should have begun in Q&A section with "I tried to tether my WiFi through USB, it doesn't work for some reason, what am I doing wrong")...
What the guy wants, what i presume, is not the tethering he says, because that is stock.
But if you are picking up a Wifi Signal with your Nexus One! and you want to share that connection through USB on your laptop/pc. This means your phone acts as the wireless network card for your pc/laptop
Correct me if this already is possible, but as far as i know, this wasn't possible till 3 months ago!
1. I know that, that's mobile hotspot...
2. Stock tether is not supported on osx as it said in the help under tether/hotspot settings.
3. I know that my post wasn't in the right section as I stated before... and to be honest I don't really care
4. I'm sick of these ppl treating me like a noob when I've probably owned more android phones then half these cats, only reason I'm a noob on xda is because I've never had a problem with android that a few searches on xda/androidspin couldn't fix..

I'm back to my original question... Is there an app besides pdanet that allows usb tethering... *sigh* you know what forget it guys... any other day I'd be down for this and usually droid does but today droid didn't which means money in apples pocket... Thank you to the ones that helped and thank you to the ones that didn't, they did their best
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have cm6 and I just tried it and it works like other posters says, USB tether shares whatever interwebs connection you have over a USB based rndis adapter. Your mac needs an rndis driver to make use of it, I thought newer versions of macos had this included. you may need to do some googling to find it, I cant help you as I know little about macs.
Oh I have no doubt that everything in cm6 works very well its something on the mac right after it finds it as a ethernet port it gets weird. A rndis driver you say... I can work with that... Thank you even if it doesn't work!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
On another note... Isn't cm6 f'n awesome... It literally cured my rom flashing habit! After cm6 I just check out news and apps... As far as I'm concerned my phone does everything I want... EXCEPT USB TETHER haha... Ahhh! My phone performs miracles and it can't tether lol... That's why I lost my hair on this one because I don't mind if I get stuck trying to trick out my phone (goodies, oc, aesthetics) but If I get stuck on something that can be very useful (won't say need cuz 3 months ago id say your dreaming) then I lose it lol... Anyways I'm gonna go check it out!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
OP, I did answer your question. You asked for a rom or an app that could do it, I said stock rom. That it doesn't work with your mac, that's a seperate issue, but stock rom can tether wifi over usb.
Plus I didn't mean you whined, but I needed some extra chars to be able to post so I put up a whine about you posting in the wrong forum.
You might want to look at your posts, they don't show a great attitude. If you want help you shouldn't say things like you don't care about posting in the wrong forum. I, and probably more people here, don't like to help someone that doesn't give a crap about following some basic forum rules and starts flaming people who actually anwer his question.
Good luck finding a solution.

[Q] Trick AT&T Re-Post

i know i previously opened this thread in the development section, and so many other members where complaining that i posted this in the wrong thread, so yeah maybe i did my bad it was my first opened thread so stop hating. I re-posted this so i can get some insight if this is possible.
"Alright guys so reason why i opened this thread is because do to the fact that AT&T is nothing but a pure monopolistic (wants to control everything) company and as we are all aware there is no unlimited data plans, i have always wanted to know how to "Trick" if i may say, AT&T to thinking were using a so-called "Dumb Phone" thus vise versa a smartphone such as the good old Samsung captivate. I have read other threads about similar issues and achievements on using one dumb phone to activate there data and then switching there SIM to the smartphone but to be fully honest no one has posted steps or a how-to tutorial on how to do this precisely."
If you happen to be one of those that knows how to do this, can you be kind enough to share us your knowledge and post to us some happiness once and for all Thank you!!
What you want to do involves changing your imei which is illegal and XDA does not allow instructions on how to do this. Please search as it would have showed you that all these threads are closed disscusing this.

[HELP THREAD] Samsung Note 4 T-Mobile ~| Noob Friendly |~| All Questions Welcome |~

Hey everyone, I recall a thread like this from my previous beloved, Galaxy S 4 by @Skipjacks, and I figured the Note 4 also deserves such a thread. It did very well there, still active, and I was hoping we could have such a nice environment here as well. I'm hoping this will lead to less cluttered in Development Threads and Q&A Forum. An information bank for EVERYONE and ALL level of android knowledge
If you are not familiar with XDA and what is required of you as a brand new user (Or simply need a refresher), I will advice you start HERE
The quickest way to annoy anyone here is by not SEARCHING. Make "Search" your best friend. It is located at the right side of your screen, you simply cannot miss it. If you do not know how to properly search on XDA, here is a simple guide line. Simply put in a keyword, press enter, and results will pop up. From there skim to see which pertain to what you are concern with and move on from there. You are wondering about battery life? Type in battery and see what pops up. You have wifi issue? Simply type in wifi and see what pop up. Its very, very easy.
Another quick way to annoy anyone on here, is by not reading atleast the last 20 posts. Odds are, your concern have been addressed most likely. A quick skim is always good!
I hope this thread will be a Help and Be Help type of things. I always believe in paying it forth.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE​
There is no such thing as a stupid question! You feel it is a stupid question, simply look away and do not answer! No NOOB bashing. No encouraging NOOB bashing! If everyone do their part, this could be successful!​

Ive tried with hiemdall when I put my phone in download mode it detects it but that's about it
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
I never could get heimdall to work properly in linux mint. It seems like you are having issues too.
The only suggestion I can make is to set your PC to dual boot Windows and Linux for occasions like this where emulation won't work for you.
In the meantime, perhaps you could use a friend or relatives computer to ODIN a fresh ANK4 setup.
Yeah its a Odin flash issue. You may be able to just Odin flash TWRP. Again and it could be fixed. Also let me know if you need the files I can throw them up on my mega.

I've searched with google, reddit, this forum, and android central (though, for some reason I only had access to one page of results) and I can't find a direct answer, so I would greatly appreciate some help.
FoxFi does not work for WiFi with the Note 4 on T-Mobile, but can anyone verify that I could still USB tether directly into my PC and use the internet on my PC and have it access mobile data, instead of tether data? I don't have Note 4 or T-Mobile to test yet, and knowing if this works helps determine my plan decision. I wish to stay unrooted for now, and would probably use 20GB-ish a month.
Maybe this is a stupid question, because FoxFi says USB/Bluetooth tethering is supported on all phones. And the description on Google Play says T-Mobile users should use USB tethering for it to work, so it sounds like it should. Yet, I've still not seen anyone definitively state that they've successfully used FoxFi USB tethering with the Note 4 on T-Mobile and specifically not use tether data. I've found plenty of direct statements from other carrier users, and general statements of USB tethering works, but nothing I can directly connect to Note 4/T-Mobile.
I posted this in a FoxFi thread a few days ago with additional questions, but haven't gotten a response yet: Does FoxFi Work? Post #14 If you answer here, I'll update that thread, or vice versa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Happy New Year!

Let me google that for you.
You can try using a USB OTG cable, if it recognizes, then root and use Sixaxis Controller for wireless use ( but check compatibility first)

If that would require simple googling I wouldn't be asking, Are you trying to get your first 10 posts?

Well then maybe Google and don't ask because it was that simple. Also, yes, I'm trying to get my first ten posts 200+ posts after I already got my first ten. And it's not a "silly" answer. It's THE answer. And don't sh!t on my answer because I'm American, most of the people on this website are from America, so that's who you're going to get answers from. And I'm not a yank idiot, I'm from Tennessee which is in the South, and even more so I'm ethnically Russian and American by birth. Next time try Googling before asking a question and you won't have any threads for us American's to answer in.
Edit: And really dude? MY first ten posts? You've only got FOUR, so you're one to talk. I've been more helpful for longer than you've even been around.

Be careful with whatever other crap you're going to reply with or your "thread" will be deleted..
I apologize,
I didn't meant to sound like a troll or make anyone angry or upset.
thing was I already knew everything and I asked my question wrong.
proper question is: do HTC Desire bluetooth module "supports" dualshock 3 as the sixaxis controller app site states that not all new Samsung and HTC devices does that.
Important - Due to the non-standard protocol that the controllers use to communicate with the host, this application requires root access. Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.

once more I apologize @dip_spit @MrMike2182
For now rooting this thing is stressful to even think about it, with my old Samsung it was easier.
And about this link with USB OTG, European model doesn't really support it sadly.

I'm taking a shot in the dark here but I'm going to guess that no, it won't work. If newer HTC devices are known not to work well, and given that our phone is only a year or so old, I'm going to guess that it won't. You can always fire up the compatibility app and see if it'll work first or you can just go off and try it.
HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure it said something on the Sixaxis app about it not working at all if the USB OTG won't work, but I didn't look it up again this time.
Also, rooting this device is fairly simple, I've written up a guide in the General section if you need a walkthrough.
