Saw GPS tether in the app store, didn't get a chance to look at it though. Maybe that is what you are looking for?

GPS tether is a no go.
Anybody else out there that can help with using the EVO as a GPS receiver?
I plan to go south of the border for about 2 days and want to load maps on to my netbook and use my phone as the GPS receiver.

Shameless bumpidity bump!

[Q] Is USB tethering an AOSP only feature?

Something I've noticed in AOSP ROMs vs Sense is the USB tethering option. I was wondering if anyone has made a Sense ROM with this feature built in, or if it's even possible. As I have come to love the speed of AOSP ROMs, sometimes I like to go back to the smooth feel of Sense; however, I am a Linux user, and none of the USB tethering apps in the market will work with Linux. As my aircard is crapping out on me, I've come to rely on my DInc for internet access(no other form of broadband is available where I live). Any help on this topic is much appreciated.
Thanx,
~Jim

+1 on this app
It tethers much quicker than the aosp tethering app but it does cost $10
And it works with Linux

You can use wired tether, http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list, but you have to have RNDIS built into the kernel. The kernels I've been building recently have it built in already. There was an issue with the RNDIS code in the HTC INC release, don't know why, but I was able to get it fixed by using the code from the Bravo release and it now compiles with it.

You can also use a DUN method to usb tether(for sure works on sense roms). Just gotta edit some values in EPST, and have the right drivers.

I use the easytether lite, which is the free version of easytether. It just doesn't have the ability to use https. If I really really need to use https I can just use my phone or wireless tether, so it's not a huge deal.
Wireless tether always made my phone hella-hot. Easytether makes it warm, as does any continuous use, but nothing extraordinary.

So I'm using your kernel and wired tether 1.4 and it won't work. I can see the numbers going up either way but I'm not able to get an internet connection.

PDAnet works great as well, and shows SMS messages on your computer in an IM format, allowing you to compose and receive texts using your full sized keyboard.

Did you start Wired Tether, then plug the phone in? Or did you start it with the phone plugged in? I've used the tether quiet abit since I built RNDIS in, and it works great.

If you edited your settings to use mobile hot spot that came with 2.2, go into your wireless and network settings. Mobile broadband connect is for usb.

I think you need some kind of driver installed on the pc though... Htc diag...

+1 on PDANet. I have it on all my phones, paid version.
Works well for Inet access backup at work. As a matter of fact our Inet access went down yesterday and we used our phones as backup(s).
Well worth the $$.

Nice tardis

I am using RR 2.1 and tried downloading wired tether.
When i open it for the firs ttime it crashes.
When i open it the second time in launches but wont work just FC every time I click on the tether button in the app.
Kinda weird... not sure whats up.
This is v1.4

The Sense 2.0 ROM ported from the Desire Z has the same USB Tether feature (through RNDIS) as the AOSP roms.

any particular reason you do this over the built in wired tether in AOSP Froyo?

Wired Tether in Froyo

I'm thinking about moving back up to 2.2 from 2.1 but I want to use Wired Tether instead of Wifi Tether. Are there any Froyo roms that have this included?

no, its a Kernel locked feature which wont be able to be used until we get official 2.2 source

I use wireless tehter app on mine. That way I don't get the extra charge on my bill. Its called wireless tether but u have to have it plugged in to computer to tether the wireless signal. Atleast I seem to have to. Works great. U do have to be rooted though. You can also try pdaNET if ur not rooted. Both can be found threw a google search or on the android markt.

That is misinformation. Wired Tether is a native builtin feature of Froyo that WORKS as is on DK28 build. I'm using it now as I am typing this response.

Just curious why do you want wired over wireless?

So If I move back over to Truly Epic, I can just plug in and use the wired tethering? I tried using wireless tethering and it worked great, but the wired tether just moves so much faster for me

It's not really a "kernel locked" feature, DI18 contains the appropriate RNDIS driver code. The problem is that bugs in the USB gadget driver prevents it from being activated. Hence why it's supported in (some) custom kernels.

Good to hear. I haven't bothered with the Froyo leaks since I need kernel sources for other reasons, but it wasn't clear if Samsung fixed the RNDIS bugs.

Wired tether is convenient to have
Such as for me since I ont have a wifi router for my pc
Id love to have a way for wired tether in froyo :/

I never used wired tether before.I didn't know it was faster. I assumed but I thought it was just a little difference.

The difference between wired and wireless is when using wired u move or copy files between your phone and pc in same time you are tethering even you can move or copy files via wireless I found this way is more convenient for me.

Apple products don't play nicely with Android or just about any kind of product not "Jobs approved".

Sorry for the delay... I like to have a life after work.
Wifi Tether works just fine for me with my iTouch, but I can't even get that thing to connect bluetooth to my headset. It refuses to even see any of my other phones.

How to get Infrastructure Mode??

Hello I have a S-Offed and rooted Droid Incredible 2 running stock 2.3.4. I also have an HP TouchPad. The TouchPad requires that it connects to "infrastructure mode" connections.
Now I know that the Incredible 2 is "hardware capable" of putting out an infrastructure mode output. I used the built in tether feature on CM7 without a hitch.
I'm wondering what I need to do to accomplish this with my phone on Sense? I want to run the stock ROM for now? Would flashing a new kernel help? If so does anybody have any recommendations for a good Sense kernel?
thanks for the help

Are you tethering? Barnacle wifi tether worked great for me on sense, and my touch pad is all I use tethering for.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App

yeah I mean the TouchPad sees the hotspot, it just won't connect to it. That's exactly what it would do to my Droid, which would only do Ad-Hoc. Just need to figure out how to get it to do infrastructure mode.
Like I said I know this phone is capable of it. Just need to figure out how.
thanks
