tethering

i had my desire hooked upto my pc via usb and had 3g and wifi enabled, connected to the internet fine. but im not sure on tmobiles tethering policy i.e extra charges etc so decided to turn 3g off and use wifi. i.e wifi to the phone and share to the pc via usb. no dice, wont work! why wont it let me share my wifi which is alot faster than the 3g it will let me share?
also will i incur any fees from tmobile?

I had the problem with Win 7 64bit. The drivers of tether just wouldn't install. I solved it by using Easytether which can be found in the market.
You have to install the app on your Desire and you also need to install a small program om your pc/laptop but once installed on the Desire the app itself tells you what to do and when and where to download the stuff for your pc. Piece of cake

Does your laptop not have wifi?!

Can you do WiFi tethering on the Desire? That would be cool...

I doubt you can...because it seems pointless. I can't imagine a device running an OS that accepts USB modems that doesn't itself have Wifi built in unless it's a very old laptop, and then what OS are you running?

Try the app PdaNet, it lets you share your internet (3G/H) via USB or Bluetooth

yes both my macbook and desktop have wifi. i was curious as to why the phone would rather use a slow 3g connection to share as opposed to wifi if it is available.

There is a program available so you can use wifi on your laptop with the wifi on the phone. But to use that program you need root access so it won't work on the Desire (yet).

[Req]Wireless tethering app for cm2.2?

Does anyone have a working version of that app yet?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Great question for the app section... To my knowledge Barnacle works for some but can be 'finicky'. Otherwise, no.

Yea I couldn't get barnacle to work
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

here is the the one I'm using for TeamFenix 1.7.1 which is based off of one of the CM nightlies, and I haven't had any problems at all, just downloaded, installed using Astro File Manager and was up an running on my netbook. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk

barnacle ususally works. just disable wpa_supplicant. go to barnacle's settings and check skip wpa_supplicant. ran it for a few hours on windows. works well.

Barnacle is the only one that people claims works. I haven't been able to get any Ad-hoc to work with Linux, but Windows works with Barnacle.
Not related to wireless, but there is built-in USB tethering which I prefer if I can get signal at my laptop. Just plug in the USB, go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering and check 'USB Tethering'. If it prompts for drivers tell Windows to manually use 'Remote NDIS Device for Internet Sharing' by 'Microsoft Incorporated'.

I'm trying to find a working wifi tether app for cm 6.0 as well. Ive tried Barnacle and it doesnt work even when I disable wpa supplicant. The computer sees it and connects but no webpages will load.
I also tried a few different wifi tether apk's from googles site and everyone makes my phone crash and reboot.

wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. Thanks

Cyanogen wireless tethering help

I recently installed cyanogen 6.1.1 and installed wireless tether for root (the newest version, 2.06 I think.) . When I start tethering windows will find the network but it won't connect to the internet and the program is showing no data activity. The same thing happens if I try using the hotspot option in settings. I've already tried changing the network id, channel and I even reinstalled the app and no luck. PDAnet usb tethering is working fine but the built in usb tethering isn't (it makes a noise like a driver failed to install). Thanks for any input on getting any of them working correctly.

you may need to install the vision/dz drivers to get the official usb tether to work but I haven't dicked with the wifi in a while and don't really remember a lot about it.

I seem to remember there being conflicts when you have Wireless Tether installed since CM already has the hotspot. Try uninstalling Wireless Tether, rebooting and using hotspot

Where Can I find these drivers? And are they self installing? If not where do I put them?

I'm pretty sure I tried to use this before I installed Wireless Tether for Root.

Got it working, thanks. I uninstalled everything, rebooted my phone and computer. Some driver installed and both tethering options in settings are working now.

I'm having this problem as well. What do you mean by you uninstalled everything?

I'm having the same issue. Did you just uninstall the app and reboot?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Just fixed the issue. I uninstalled Wireless tether for root and rebooted phone. Opened up hotspot and it now works. Thanks!

When you use the inbuilt tether, did you get charged.

[Q] USB Tethering

Has anyone found the Samsung drivers necessary to get the native USB tethering working? I see the drivers mentioned in the user manual, but haven't gotten a hold of them yet...
Manual:
Tethering
Tethered Mode allows your computer to obtain an external data connection by using the device’s wireless data services and a wired USB connection. Tap USB tethering to activate tethering mode.
Important: If you are using your device for Tethering, you may be prompted for additional drivers. The Samsung Mobile Driver for SPH-D710 contains the ADB, CDMA, & WiMAX drivers that are required for using either Tethering (Phone as a Modem) or development tools.
- Go to SAMSUNG and visit the D710 Product page, where you can navigate to the Download Center to obtain this driver.
- The online FAQ also provide detailed information about this driver.
- A wireless data connection can be done by using the device’s Sprint Hotspot feature.
1. Press > and tap > Wireless and network > Tethering.
2. Tap USB tethering to add a checkmark and activate the feature. The USB tethering icon is displayed at the top of your screen.

However at that website, all you can currently download is the manual - no drivers. Any ideas? Anybody know where to get the drivers?
Thanks

There is a 99.9% chance that this is disabled (by Sprint) anyway without using Sprint's $30/mo official method.
Wait for root and modded roms.

Well with a USB cable plugged in, you can turn the feature on, but the computer doesn't recognize it without the drivers. I'm hoping that's a good sign...

I would be thrilled if that were the case. It isn't likely, but, bigger things have been overlooked before.
Please report back with results.

I've got a call in to Samsung tier 3 support and was promised a call back with more info, so I'll keep you apprised.

OP Delivers!
Looks like they put the drivers up. At work right now, but I'll be testing them tonight!
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D710ZKASPR
Select "Software" next to "Manuals."

Unsurprisingly, it looks like Sprint has disabled USB tethering.
I've installed the drivers, and the computer and phone successfully connect. Once USB tether is enabled, however, the phone will drop both 4G and 3G connections and throw up the following (see attached screenshot):
Error 67: Registration Failure. Your Sprint data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.

I know the software/ drivers are configured properly because I can pass the internet connection on to the computer when the phone is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.
Really disappointed (but not surprised)...

Not easytether, but PDANet works.

is it free? and doesn't require root?

I haven't tried Easytether on the phone yet, but I can confirm PDAnet works and is free , although it's limited to http only and no https unless you buy the paid version. Easytether changed their application so now it has like a week trial before it shuts down.

what i hate about easytether and PDAnet is you have to have the client installed on the machine already for that to work. i liked how my EVO (rooted) had the option to USB tether on any computer... guess i gotta wait until some good ROMs come out.

Just root the phone people and install wifi tether. Works flawlessly

sph-d710 root and tether
Yeah, I've tried rooting the phone and then using the wifi tether and it worked for a while then it stopped working. Now I can't get it to connect to the PC.
Would be nice if there was a better way of tethering for free

If you use PDANet, the phone with PDANet installed will automatically detect if the computer has the client installed or not. If it does NOT have the client already installed, it will prompt you to download the windows EXE onto the phone, and then you can install the client onto the computer from the EXE it downloads onto your phone.
It's saved me a few times working out in the field.

I have the Sprint Hotspot hack that allows 4G or 3G to tether via Wifi without the plan. I would like USB tether as well to work, is there something that uses the NDIS instead of their own client? I know both MAC and Windows work with the NDIS device sharing... If not, what's the best one that will tether 4G via USB?
FL29 radio and im running GB 2.3.6 (dont care much about the ICS / Jelly Bean unless they have both 3G and 4G tether'able via Wifi and USB)
Anybody have played with ICS and gotten the 3G and 4G thetherable at least via Wifi? Wifi thether for root didn't work for me, reason why I went back to 2.3.6 and the FL29 Odexed SpotHot fix.

Which OS, with Gingerbread just root it and download the Wired Tether apk, from the same people that make the Wifi tether .apk I really wish they re worked the code for ICS or JB
YES YOU MUST ROOT THE PHONE!!
Otherwise Custom roms all seem to have USB and wifi tethering enabled.
