[Q] Ok Guys help me out plz, tethering problem

hey guys, my phone is rooted ofc.... but I cant seem to find a tethering app that supports usb tether? its all wifi, my pc does not have a wifi card so its out of the ? unless i buy one. Id like to just use USB tethering i tried pda net but it drops connection constantly. Does anyone know an app that allows usb tethering thats for rooted phones? High speed internet is not availible in my area believe it or not lol and im paying sprint for the pam plan..... thx guys!

I think it requires a custom kernel, so there were a number of the Eclair custom Kernels/ROMs that supported it and had an app built in. The original ACS ROM comes to mind. I believe however to get it on the Froyo ROMS we need to wait for the souce and custom kernels.

Have you tried the app "pdanet"? I haven't tried it my self, but its supposed to do just that while bypassing carrier (read: sprint) blocks.
It worked great on my blackberry.

Easytether is a really good one.

Or since you're rooted, try one of the custom leaked froyo roms that has native USB tethering built-in.

Used before Wireless Tether

Does anyone know which froyo ROMS have the ability to usb tether. I use this on two computers, and wifi on a third. The lack of usb teething has kept me from going to 2.2. But with delay after delay, I think it is time to make the switch! I just need a ROM that will allow me to do what I need to do.. If I have to wait, then I guess I have to wait.

ive searched for this as well and no froyo roms will let you usb tether, im using sydicate rom it has usb and wifi tether built in also lets you 4g usb tether. i am anxiously awaiting froyo 4g tethering....

Well ill see if i can get the stock usb tethering to work when i get home on my laptop. I would jump to the syndicate rom, but there is way too many garbage apps in it i will never use and after using mobile ap i will never goto adhoc wireless tethering, i dont think im even going to get the official froyo until mobile ap works!!

Yep the app starts the sprint tether I think.
What did you hit to make it reboot? It did reboot once when I turned the tether off but I don't know if it's done that consistently.

Yeah, I don't think there is any way of getting around that. Small price to pay for some awesome Froyo tether
It's definitely just as fast or faster than mobile AP was.

do we still require a kernel that supports this? or has anyone gotten it to actually work. i know its an experimental build, but it didnt work for me. my lappy could see it, which is good because it cant even see ad hoc, but it failed connecting.
edit: hmmm, ya i see now its working for you. i still have old wifi tether installed, maybe thats it?

ok last time i mess with that, For heads up dont mess with any of the sprint stuff, it makes your phone reboot then makes it pop up an error when trying to connect, if you do just clear the app data and start over and it seems to work now

Worked perfectly to me and connected to my ipod touch no problem first try, and i had the old one installed, and then i uninstalled and still work,
Just a note dont mess with the sprint hotspot that pops up with it, it will just **** it up and you will have to clear data on the app or uninstall and reinstall again.

No. The app "talks" directly to the kernel. There is "something" implemented in the framework which detects that necessary kernel-setup-steps were performed.
It's not using the official hotspot-app/feature at all - only kernel-stuff (that's why it even works on CM6).

Hey thats cool, and it is faster then mobile ap, i just was streaming netflix on my ipod touch with this and it loaded at least 2-3 times faster.
Probaly faster considering this is the sprint hotspot its activating. too bad i can't use all those sprint settings lol, oh well as long as its fast works on 4g and infrastructure. YAY

Should be able to set all of the same settings in the tether APP

So this is the same as MobileAP(works on ps3)?
Is there any advantage MobileAp have over this?

Well i guess if i could unistall the sprint hotspot some how i could, avoid that, the only reason it pops up is because this app uses the official sprint hotspot stuff, as seen in the mobile ap thread, someone bought the subscription and helped this guy make this work.

Brilliant! ...thanks for sharing!

Besides looking prettier and no sprint hotspot popping up with this, no this is better!!! and faster then mobile ap.

is it possibile to get rid of sprints hotspot or is it always there besides cm6?

You could try ... but I think that notivication is triggered by the "system-framework" and not by the hotspot-app. The key were some dmesg-dumps to see which parameters are passed to kernel. Since I know the bcm4329-driver a little bit it was not that hard ... but it took some time and around 70 mails to/from "formula84" (the guy who was very helpful with testing/logs).

[Q] Any low cost or free 4G Tethering Options?

Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!

Wireless tether 2.0.7 works on pretty much anything. Does not work on evo 3d

So are you on an ICS rom still? A lot of things still aren't working with the ICS roms, including tethering.

Sorry, I meant Gingerbread.
I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025

Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.

Wireless tether for root connects to anysite you want I use it everyday on 2 devices works just fine connecting to anything I need

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.

I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.

Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.

Wifi Tether issues

Hi guys! I'm back again with more questions..
So, my phone is rooted and running Blazer 3.8.
I started off using the built in Sprint Hotspot, which works wonderfully, but uses up way too much power and gets way too hot while running. So, I decided to go to the Wireless tether app I used on my old EVO.
however, All of the newer versions (beta 3.0 and above) fail to work, period. At all.
The older versions work, however they fail to work when using Encryption of any form. (all of them force me to use WEP and I would like to use WPSK)
Also, i'm unable set it to make itself into a true WiFi network, instead it's an AdHoc network.
How can I fix these issues?
Thanks!

Check to make sure you don't have one of those "Green" cables. (The stock Samsung cable is one of those I believe).
You might want to re-flash the rom too, I use this almost daily and see very little power drain.

That sounds pretty normal to me. Anyway, back when I was stock rooted the wireless tether app didn't work for me either. I ended up using an application called OpenGarden which worked pretty well. Now that I'm on Blazer, I use the Sprint Hotspot app and it doesn't drain a tremendous amount of power.

[Q] HotSpot App besides WiFi Tether

I'm currently using WiFi Tether app with my rooted S3 but sometimes the stream is not consistent. Anyone know if any other hotspot app that works on S3 that I could try. Most in the Play Store are not compatible with the S3.

Theres foxfi but i think only bluetooth tether works on it. As for the wifi tether app. Make sure the Disable wake lock button is UNCHECKED. I recomend checking the keepalive box as well. also even tho there is a GS3 setting now Galaxy nexus tends to work better for me. Also if ur running a tw based rom delete ConnectionManager.apk from system/app. Gets in the way.
And as far as stuff in the playstore being "not compatible". Thats most likely cuz Sprint wants it that way. Never hurts to download elsewhere and give it a shot-- https://dl.dropbox.com/s/t9pqttpf4p4bp76/blackmart[1].apk?dl=1

Personally I never had to use mss clamping or routing fix however I have ticked them and they didn't seem to make any difference. I would however keep the WiFi driver reload ticked. Seemed to make the successful connection rate better. Its like the equivalent of turning your WiFi off and back on for a fresh start everytime. And yes that's what connectionmanager.apk is. Even with the option disabled it still tends to come on n f*ck up tethering
