Sharing your HSPDSA internet connection with an IPOD touch via Wifi

Hi
I have a TYTN II on unlimited data with Orange... and that is awesome - great data speeds.
Is it possible to use this data connection with an IPOD touch or other wifi device. I have been able to use my PPC internet connection on a PC (via cable or bluetooth) and on a MAC (via Bluetooth PAN) but was wondering if it is possible to use this high speed connection on a Touch. Hence you would have a "3g Iphone", without the phone of course!
Thanks
Tony

Maybe you could use WMWiFiRouter. I think the official thread for it is in the "Development and Hacking" subforum of the general forum. Google for it too, but I think the program was taken off the site for a while. I didn't read the specifics.

Yea, it works because it has Ad-Hoc in it, when I had an iPhone i used it as a ad-hoc router(with some jailbreaking of course, but that doesnt mean it wont pick it up). Once you have it on, on the tytn II, then enter in the SSID in the join this network box(or the thing that makes you manually enter a SSID) and it should connect.

WMWifirouter has been pulled by the author for the time being. Rumor is that it will be back up in a couple of weeks.

Wanting to tether my hero to Linux, HELP!

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/

Seriously?! anyone get the Nexus 7 to work without wifi?

Short Story: Is there anyway to make the nexus start working without WiFi?
Long Story: Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine for about a month ago. So there I was the day of the Google I/O conference refreshing the google play store over and over again until the moment I could order my Nexus 7. Needless to say I ordered it the minute I could. Today I recieved my Nexus 7. It took a while to get here. I picked it up from the mailroom three hours ago. I let it charge and turned it on. First screen asks for my country. Second screen says searching for WiFi. And there I sit because , I don't have WiFi. Is there a workaround for this? Or do I have a $250 paperweight, until I get home later this year?
I can't be the only one with this problem.
Resources available to me:
1) I have a laptop that is connected to very slow internet (ethernet, not wireless). It has USB ports, but I don't think theres a way to share internet through USB. I can not attach a wifi router to this network.
2) I have WiFi where I sleep, but I need to open a browser and put in a username and password to log in. I don't think that will work because I can't get to the web browser part of this.
My last resort is to mail it back home to have family activate it and then mail it back to me. Kind of absurd. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh
EDIT************
ATTN TROLLS: before replying and looking stupid, make sure to read the whole thread. The problem has been resolved. I even explained how I resolved it for other people with potentially the same problem. I have also clearly explained why I bought the Nexus 7. A tablet is a tablet. Without WiFi it still lets me read books, play games, do Sudoku puzzles, and watch episodes that I bring back on a USB thumb drive. I used it to replace my Nook Color running CM7. I have enough WiFi back in my room to browse the web and check my email.
Thanks to everyone that offered constructive help.
To the trolls, I hope you get pushed down a slide of razors into a pool of acid.

Does the laptop ha e wifi, if so you can share the wired internet connection wirelessly via connnectify

You wouldn't happen to have a neighbor with an open network you could leach off of do you?

That seems like a serious oversight if this is the case.

This, seems easy enough. Go get a coffee

Well, if you are rooted (should be able to root without setting up) then you can just kill the 'setup', process through adb on your pc. You could also try to flash a ROM without that set up process. Like CM
I thought this when I was setting up my tablet and wondered when would happen if someone didn't have wi fi available immediately.

Or this. But hey, go grab a coffee, then root.

I had wifi and it still couldn't detect it when i turned it on! I panicked and i sat there at the first screen bevause there was no option to manually enter wifi settings. My network has secure and ssid off, but couldn't even see neighbours (ssid on).
But I tethered insecure net from phone to get past first screen. Should be able to borrow a friend's internet this way, it doesn't download much.
I have no idea how you plan to use the n7 w/o wifi, at least during setup, it is in terms of service...

Not sure if this still works, but you used to be able to bypass activation by touching all four corners of the device. Top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left.

I tried the four corners thing. It didn't work. Unfortunately there are no McDonalds or Starbucks near me. I only have these two networks to work with. I bough it to replace my Nook (CM7), which I use to watch episodes of TV shows. I bring the mSD card to work, and put episodes on it, then bring it back to the room and watch them till I fall asleep. With the Nexus I was intent on copying my episodes over through the ethernet cable by day, and taking it back to the room to watch them at night. I guess I'll have to keep watching my shows on my Nook. Sucks. New toy is useless.

I take it u can't skip the sign in like on phones, if u have no way of getting on a wifi network, you can possibly try to kill the setup process via adb...its not really a google oversight, its 2012 WiFi networks are rather easy to find.

I guess I'm just lucky enough to be where they aren't easy to find.

I have no cell phone coverage here. Although I might be able to use my cell phone to connect to the wireless back at the room, use the cell phone web browser to log on, then tether it to my Nexus. That might work. I'll try that tonight.

use a WIFI dongle to attach to your laptop. make it a hotspot using "connectify" software and connect your nexus to it. your laptop must have internet access.

setup aside, how did you plan on managing files etc on the n7 long term without wifi?
Seems there are other products more suited to your needs if you aren't going to use any online or network features.

Chromecast WiFi Range

I happened to look at the Chromecast app since it updated yesterday and there was another CC showing but needed setup. Considering problems some have had with WiFi reception including myself, I find this odd that I'm seeing one of my neighbor's CC.

It might appear as if it needs setting up but that is really only indicating that it is not on your local WiFi but could be connected to another.
Doesn't mean you couldn't hijack it if you wanted to however.

Yeah but as long as there is nothing to interfere with the radio signal you can see lots of things...Connecting to them may be problematical but seeing them is almost always possible even as far away as a Quarter mile in an area that doesn't have a lot of RF signals floating around.

Check if it's your CC by unplugging it and scanning again. One of mine once booted up in a mode where it was simultaneously connected to my network and broadcasting its setup AP. It was the weirdest thing and hasn't happen since, but my Chromecasts pretty much never reboot unless I tell them to.

What makes you think it shouldn't be able to? If it is ready for setup then you should be able to....
What may be happening is the router to which that belongs to is off or they are using a mobile hotspot for their internet in which case when the router leaves the CCast goes into setup.

I'm assuming that it just shows ready to setup because it's not setup on my network.
Presently it's showing up again so I tried to set it up and got "Could not connect to your Chromecast. Make sure your Chromecast is nearby".

Actually I'm not entirely sure on this (Have not tested it)
But I'm pretty certain that it says "ready to set up" even when connected to an AP when it is not connected to the same AP as you!
And it makes sense that it does just in case the Ccast somehow connects to the wrong AP or an Open one that isn't yours.
So the App sees the CCast and can set it up. You may not be able to connect to it via the WiFi in AP mode, but you probably can still send it a setup command if it is in range via the App.
Not much different than telling it to load an App really.

No, you can't see a Chromecast that is connected to a different AP from what you're connected to, at least not when everything is working as it should...
Not configured, Not connected
Chromecast goes into setup mode as an open wireless access point named Chromecast#### (some 4-digit number)
Not configured, Connected
This should not be possible. Really.
Configured, Not connected
Chromecast goes into setup mode as an open wireless access point named Chromecast#### (some 4-digit number)
Configured, Connected
Chromecast is in normal mode as a wireless client
However, as I noted, I did have one instance where Chromecast was configured, and was connected, but still broadcasted its setup AP. I really should have investigated more, but I was freaked out and rebooted it - and things were normal after that.

I tried a few more times and once I had a popup stating that I was trying to connect to another router not mine. I know by the default name that it's another AT&T Uverse RG as the name is always 2WIRExxxx. I even tried going back to the previous version of the Chromecast app version but nothing changed. I'm using WiFi Fixer app and tried disabling it as well thinking that it may interfere some how.
One try locked my tablet up.

[Q] Port Forwarding on Wifi Tether

So I have a verizon moto x, rooted and unlocked. I use it to tether with my unlimited data so I don't have internet at home. Recently I've experience a lot of timeouts, disconnections, and crashes, with a program on my computer that connects on port 4747. I want to forward this port to improve and maybe even fix these problems but the apps for port forwarding on the android have not work thus far.
I have tried both wifi tether and native hotspot, used the port forwarding app "port forwarder" and some others that don't seem as good. Tried all options so far but I'm open to advice. Is what I'm attempting impossible? I read the 4g verizon phones get internal IP addresses so I should think I could use port forwarding to route the data to the computer to which I'm tethering. Help please?

I understand too..I do something similar.. Although I don't have answer to ur exact problem I can say what I do.. I have the cradle point mbr95 modem/WiFi router with the Verizon USB modem and stream my unlimited data by WiFi.. This set me back about $120 all together but much simpler and easier..came from a RAZR that has a bad USB charge port.. SO.. It would die on me and I just spent about 4 days getting it to charge.
P.s. I love ur response..haha

Sounds like you're trying to solve the problem from the Android side. To do that manually you'd need to brush up/google on iptables. But since you're dealing with one specific Windows program, maybe it would be easier to solve from the Windows side. Port remapping in windows seems straight forward. see here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11525703/port-forwarding-in-windows and also here http://muzso.hu/2013/01/08/port-forwarding-on-windows-with-builtin-tools-netsh and so on.
unless you don't have access to the windows computer... then you're back to Android, terminal emulator, and iptables...
