I have a couple of apps that wont work in pass-through, ebay is one for example.
I'm assuming some apps check wifi or 3g for network cobnnectivity and if you have these off, it wont work. i tried some proxy app, but that did not work either. is there any workaround to make apps think there using wifi/3g buit can divert it to the pass-through( reverse tether)

I have a weird WIFI issue only at work, Android Market cannot download apps or games.
I can browse the internet, and look at news, weather, google etc just fine.
Sometimes the internal Mail app also gives a error saying it cannot connect. but the Gmail app is fine.
I have an orange 500 MB connection, and only got my phone yesterday. i calculate using 100MB in a day over 3g already Worrying.
Ok, got it.. Proxy issue.
I wonder if it is possible to go the other way to tethering, use the PC's internet connection on the phone? I could do that with activesync. hmm.
Only certain ports are allowed over wireless where I work, so market doesn't work for me either.
Okay, I can connect to the Internet when I'm using my Wi-Fi connection with no problem, and also when I'm connected via MediaNet. However, when my Wi-Fi connection is on, I get connection errors when trying to connect to Marketplace, AppCenter, etc. I can still navigate the Internet just fine, otherwise, but if I want to connect to the Marketplace, I have to shut the Wi-Fi connection off.
My guess is I fat-fingered a connection setting, but I don't know which one and what the settings should be. Can anyone help me out with the default connection settings for an AT&T Tilt 2? I don't like the idea of having to use my plan data usage to access Marketplace and such.
Thanks
Do you turn off the proxy when using Wifi?
Nope, didn't mess with the proxy setting.
I dug around more elsewhere and found someone with a similar problem relating to authentication for Marketplace. The fix, for Marketplace at least, is to simply uninstall Marketplace. The shortcut remains, so click on that and it asks if you want to install Marketplace. Seems to work just fine after that. Not terribly concerted with AppCenter, and I don't think you can uninstall that, anyway.
So Marketplace is working once more, but the AT&T stuff is still a no-go. AppCenter/Media Mall, Mobile Video, Navigator, etc. won't connect. I ran the restore proxy cab, which did nothing, so I disabled it again. Not sure what I goofed up to render those apps useless.
Make sure you have MediaNet as your selected network. The AT$T ISP is suddenly very flaky.
Anybody know a good app that I can use to do bluetooth tethering with the A100 off of my phone (Droid X on Verizon)? I am not rooted on either and mobile hotspot is disabled on the phone by Verizon.
I use PDAnet with my netbook but the PDAnet for tablets doesn't seem to work (it will pair with but not connect with phone). Looking for other apps to try...
Thanks.

I do believe that all the droid devices can actually do Bluetooth tethering from within the settings app, look for Droid Life's article on that. Also, getting the pdanet for tablets to work correctly is, well, difficult.
To make it work, the devices have to be paired in the default settings on both devices, then the have to both be discoverable in the settings app (it makes it discoverable for 120 seconds.) After this, while both are still discoverable, and have been paired (should say paired but not connected in the settings app) Run the server on the phone. Next, do the proxy thing it asks you to do (if it doesn't take you to a proxy menu, push back until your back at pdanet, and push it again, you'll see the proxy menu this time) Now search for it on the tablet, its best to do this in portrait mode so you can see all of the clients at once. Once there, your phone will appear if all the prior steps are active and still working. Tada, connection.
Sadly, you can't use any of the google apps (youtube, gmail, market, ect.) due to the odd proxy settings it asked you to do before connecting, so only the browser (or dolphin browser, if you use that) will detect you have a connection, and let you use it. You can browse the web, use youtube (using the youtube site, not the app), and check your email (again, with its site, not the app). Another limitation is that you cannot download files. But, if all you want to do is browse the web on your tab, since its faster, it'll do fine.
Or you could use the better option, root the phone, throw up a wifi hotspot, and then connect to it, then all apps will work correctly.
try Tethering Widget from market.

That one uses wifi hotspot, takes me to Verizon page asking for $$. I am looking to tether with bluetooth.
No matter what I try I can't get PDANet Tablet to work... I don't want to root the phone but I might end up having to.
My SGS3 doesn't have the option "Bluetooth Tethering" under Settings/More/Tethering and portable hotspot. I've seen numerous posts/videos saying to simply check that box to get bluetooth tethering working. I want to tether my Note8 via bluetooth to my SGS3 i747m.
Is this option disabled by my carrier (Bell)? If so, with a rooted phone, is there an easy way, on the stock rom, to re-enable it?
Tethering is allowed on my plan, Wifi tethering works fine, but I want bluetooth for the power savings and ability to leave it on all the time with minimal hit to my battery life.
I tried FoxFi, and got bluetooth tethering working that way. However, I found that many apps check for wifi/cellular connectivity, and when there is none (since I'm on bluetooth), they complain about having no Internet access and refuse to work, while other apps that don't check work fine. Is this the case with the built-in bluetooth too, or a side-effect of the FoxFi/PDANet Tablet apps doing dirty tricks to make things work?
I have Private Internet Access as my VPN and I wanna use it on my phone to allow me to have a Wifi portable hotspot going through the VPN.... Only thing is, at the moment I am reliant on using my computers VPN applications which isnt ideal if the signal and connection to the VPN drops as I get taken offline and I have to turn cellular data on and off again to get it back up and running....
Any solutions? I have tried that tethering app from 2009 and that didnt work at all. Any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately the stock Android tethering application does not work with VPNs. This limitation is an oversight in the software and not a system limitation.
However there is an application called ClockworkMod Tether that will allow you to tether and use a VPN at the same time. In fact it makes use of the standard tethering application and then fixes up the routing information to make it work.
This application does not require you to root your phone but you do need to run software on the computer that you wish to connect to your phone. Also this only works for USB tethering at the moment.
There are other alternatives to ClockworkMod Tether, if you wish to try them, including PDANet.
Hope it could help
