i have ubuntu running on my phone and i cant connect it to the office network.
is there a way to ssh into it through usb/adb, id like to do some X forwarding. or at least have a proper terminal to get my work done.

Hey did you ever find an answer to this?
I'm thinking wired tether (or wireless for that matter)
Sent from the iPhone Assassin
yes wireless tether works great for me. i even run a vnc client and connect to it over wireless tether.

Anyone gotten wireless tether to work over bluetooth? My computer never recognizes it as being a PAN capable device. How can I manually tell windows 7 to connect as PAN to it when Im running tether?
HTC used a somewhat non-standard Bluetooth stack on the Evo. I don't think it supports Bluetooth PAN. You'd probably have better luck under CyanogenMod 6 if you can put up with some of its other missing features or going with wifi tethering.
I just have issues with WiFi tendering too. It seems to disconnect every few minutes. Was hoping Bluetooth would work. Poo. May have to end up paying for pdanet instead (i need access to https sites).

Im looking into purchasing EasyTether Pro for the fact that I can tether to my 360. But I came up with an idea and that's where my question comes in. As a alternative, what if I get a cheap Android phone, no activation, download the app on it, would I be able to connect the phone to my WiFi at home then tether it to my 360 for internet?
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Unless you already have an unactivated cell phone, why couldn't you just purchase a wifi adapter for $50? If you do have an unactivated phone, just install the free version to test as an access point. You don't necessarily have to test the 360 connection (only available with the paid EasyTether version) to see if it would theoretically work.
Eventually ill get the real adapter but I can get some cheap Android phones for like $15. I'm looking just for the time being.
I just never used any kind of usb tether before.

According to this link (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...2862-using-de-activated-droid-ipod-touch.html) deactivated phones should work, but not sure about a fresh phone. If it is a used phone, you should be able to still use as like an ipod touch.
Nice just another way I can screw over Microsoft and support android all at the same time
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
I have an activated evo and just tested as follows:
1. turned off mobile networks
2. turned on wifi
3. connected via usb to laptop
4. turned on usb tethering
5. let laptop do its thing (setup adapter)
6. tested internet and voila
I am posting this through that tether.
Naturally, I had used the wireless tether (not usb) to access the mobile net, but not go through my local wifi router. I wanted to verify that it worked. I did try to use the wireless tether (link to laptop) WITH the wifi connection (link to wifi router) and it did NOT work. Hope this helps...

So basically the idea won't work because you can't tether through the WiFi, only your mobile data?

Sorry for the confusion. I can connect to my wifi router when using the usb tether connected directly to my laptop. If I disconnect the usb tether and try to do wireless all around, it won't work. In your case, you can't do wireless between the 360 and phone otherwise you could just connect directly to your wifi router.
In your situation, use usb tether to connect the 360 to the phone and then use your wireless connection to connect to the wifi router. You don't even need easytether since the usb tether and wifi are both standard features. If you currently have an evo, you should be able to try it now. I'm not sure about the network drivers for the 360, but you can test it without any cost.
Ahhh ok I got it. I'll defiantly try it after work tonight and post results. I wast sure if the regulations usb tether option would work. I just said EasyTether because it says that you can do it.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
The easytether is required only if your phone doesn't have the usb tether app. If you have an evo, usb tether is already available. I did further research and apparently the 360 cannot accommodate the usb drivers required for the network. The only option is to go through the RJ45 and use a laptop/desktop as a bridge. So without a 360 wifi adapter, you would have the following:
360 to laptop/desktop via RJ45 (might need a crossover cable, not a standard RJ45 cable)
laptop/desktop to phone via USB
phone to wifi router via wifi function

I was able to successfully run through this setup, but seems like a lot of hassle and the throughput/bandwidth is not great. Probably too slow for realtime gaming.
Wow then its really not worth it. I'll just stop being cheap and find a wireless adapter. I guess its the least I can do seeing their so nice to me about my 360 and hast banned me, ha. Thank for the help, I'm on the xda app right now but when I make to the pc ill be sure to hit the thanks button

I cannot get the USB Tethering native to CM7 (7.0.2.1 on Evo) to work with my Mac (10.6).
Does anyone know how to get them to play nice?
My Growl hardware notifier shows 'Android modem' as a new device ... but it does not appear in network prefs or anywhere else.
Thanks!
Download "wired tether" from the market. Can't say it'll work with your mac, but I can't get the built in (cm7) usb tethering to work either.
I am on my MacBookPro right now, using the WiFi tether built into CM7. When my battery gets low, I just plug it into the usb port to charge, but leave it on Wireless tether. Works like a charm. Now, if only I had 4G coverage.
The Sprint "tweaked" WiFi tether on Deck's AOSP ROM works fine on my GF's MacBook Pro.....
I have no problem with WiFi tethering ... just wanted to use USB.
But from the fairly extensive searching I've done, it seems to be impossible, because Mac doesn't support something called RNDIS (which the 'wired tether' app requires as well.)
Oh, well...
Hi guys!
Just a thought, I have a PS3 and I have access to a local wifi, but due to the wifi having a MAC Filter the PS3 can not connect so I had a thought of USB Tether my Wildfire to PS3..
BUT
When I read online, I saw that I must use a computer & Cross over Ethernet cable to the PS3, and I don't have a the right cable..FYI My computer is also allowed on the local wifi.
SO
My question is this: Is there anyway to DIRECTLY USB tether my Wildfire to the PS3?
Why not white list the PS3?
I wonder if just using the USB Tethering option in Cyanogenmod 7 would work?
Does your Wildfire have access to the Wifi?
I wonder if you were to use a USB Wifi Adapter connected to your Computer/Laptop to create a 'Hotspot' from which your PS3 could connect? Alternatively you could I guess try this maybe...

I hope one of these works for you.
Hope I've not confused anyone too much lol

I do not have access to the router & I can't contact the guy who owns the wifi because he's working away for a while.

From what I understood, Portable Hotspot only uses 3G / hsdpa connection and I want to use WiFi connection as I do not have an unlimited data plan.
I have seen the Reverse Tether guide before and have used this for another Buzz I own.
Has anyone sucesfully managed to tether their 4G gemini to a laptop, to share mobile data?
I've tried WiFi hotspot and USB tethering and I'm having no luck. The laptop gets an IP and gateway address from the Gemini but still can't connect to the internet.
I have no problems when I tether using a different phone.
If someone with a 4G gemini and a laptop could give it a go and let me know if it works for them, it would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Tom
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering works fine for me.
Maybe tethering is blocked by your carrier.
FIle transfers do not work either

When connecting USB to usbC , the Win laptop claims connection exists, but permission to connect is missing. Hence it would seem that Gemini or Android is incapable of registering a physical connection (even if it reports slow charging" when at an USB2 port as opposed to USB3.)

I would really prefer a cabled connection to hack exposed and battery-eating wireless methods, so any advice is welcome. I tried to hook up and mount the Gemini so as to use the versatile file handler MC on it at my lange stationary Linux machine, but it seemed to be "invisible". (My Gemini is the pure android latest available version, not rooted.)
