USB tether under Mac OSX - help needed

Hi everybody!
i've just updated my desire to 2.2, and i've some issues with tethering with my mac.
under 2.1 I got it working using bluetooth DUN under mac, and using pdanet on the desire.
I've read that 2.2 support usb tethering, and I've activated it on the phone, the mac does recognize the "android phone" but even if i fill the required field in the advanced property panel (that is: "general" device, "tre.it" as APN), the mac refuses to connect to the phone. Phone number was either left blank or set to *99#.
I've tried as well the new wifi hot spot and that's working flawlessly.
Bluetooth DUN doesn't work anymore with 2.2 and pdanet, something must have changed in the firmware perhaps?
but please, somebody had managed the usb tether to work?

anyone?

[Q] 802.1x Enterprise with PEAP GTC wireless connection problem

Hi everybody.
I just bought a desire hd. i can connect every wireless connection WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc. but i can not connect 802.1x Enterprise with peap gtc network
My friend has a Galaxy Ace he can connect same with 802.1x peap gtc network. his firmware also Android 2.2
I'm configuring same as he did but still can not connect it.
I don't know what is my Desire HDs problem?
can anybody help me?

I solved my problem
t is very sad that WPA2-Enterprise is not available to be configured in the WIFI-Settings dialog. But if you know how to configure it by hand you can get it to work. I want to use my schools WPA2-Enterprise so I tried it and found out how to get it working. I will explain my taken steps below so you can as well get it to work. The trick behind is that you edit the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf by hand. In that file the configuration of the wifi-networks is saved. You need to add the following lines: (in my example for the HSR-Secure network)
network={
ssid="HSR-Secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
identity="<username without 'hsr\'>"
password="<your password>"
}
For those who don’t know how to do that here some more explanation. To edit the mentioned file above your phone has to be rooted. Than you need the Android SDK installed on your computer (we will need adb.exe). You need the usb cable to connect the phone to your computer. Open a command line shell and go to your android-sdk tools folder and then do the following (thanks to Thomas Kälin for this easier version):
# Copy the config file from the phone to your computer:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:/MyFolder
# Now Edit your wpa_supplicant.conf with your favorite editor and load it back to your phone:
adb push C:/MyFolder/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Now go to the wifi settings in your phone. Turn wifi off and on again. It should successfully connect now. Here some pictures to show how it should look like when working.

I hope this helps some of you to get WPA2-Enterprise working.
Have fun surfing the internet with your phone at work/school .

[Q] AT&T Tethering

I've been trying to tether (with the H810), but whenever I do I get the following error:
Authentication was unsuccessful.
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the USB tethering function. Please retry later.
I've tried PDAnet and foxfi as well as easytether, none of them work.

I don't have an H810, but I'm on Cricket (using AT&T's network) and I just tethered my PC (I moved to Jersey for a 3 month IT contract) no problems...but not via USB. Just WiFi Hot Spot.

ugh stupid locked down carrier phones. I guess I might return my phone and grab the H815 instead.

Don't return your phone.

I got an unlocked unbranded H815 on release day here in the UK.
It's now rooted but as soon as I try to connect another device to it, web access gets blocked by the ISP.
I use the G4's Wi-Fi hotspot, not USB. My other phones, Samsung and HTC, rooted but running custom ROMs had the same problem new out of the box but worked fine once rooted, and running custom ROMs.
Does anyone know if G4's hotspot problem can be solved with a new ROM?
FYI, the mhl / HDMI connection to a monitor doesn't work either.
The mhl dongle used to connect to the monitor works fine with HTC's micro-USB.
I assume the G4 is also 5-pin (as opposed to Samsung's 11-pin).
Any ideas?

No problems with WiFi tethering on my AT&T variant.

Off topic but the G4 is not MHL, it's Slimport. Just tried my Slimport adaptor that I had from my G2 and it works just fine.

Regarding tethering we have to differentiate between "legal" tethering on a plan that allows it (which only the carrier phones will do as they have to connect to the server to authenticate you) and tethering not using a carier phone and/or accessing the full pool of your plan's mobile data, for which the carrier may check the browser ID string and take you to an upsell page. Tethering apps can alter the string but will usually require root to work well or you can go through a VPN.

My reply to diamond12
Thank you diamond12.
I'll order a Slimport dongle today.
Your rapid response saved me wasting more time on the HDMI problem.
Re: going off-topic, I use the hotspot of phone to connect a Tab-S 8.4 to the web, and via dongles, to a large HD monitor or TV. It therefore felt more efficient to collate the two, related issues, in one thread.
On data usage, yes you are right. The ISP doesn't allow tethering unless they can sell me yet more data packages.
I already have two separate data packages for the same line, one of which is unlimited, so I'm not being unfair to them.
The question was why when rooted HTC & Samsung devices can by-pass the ISP lock screen, the G4 gets blocked?
It's unbranded, bootloader unlocked, rooted four times and tested.
Maybe one of our bright contributors here can shine a light here?

Thank you for your response HaVoK.
You are lucky. Mine is an H815.
Wonder if other owners in Europe have the same issue with tethering getting blocked.

Try FoxFi?

FoxFi and similar won't work where web access is locked down by the ISP. I've tried.
My other devices connect fine, as I've explained above.
Thank you for your suggestion anyway.

Tethering works fine on cricket (att) with 815 here.

Yep, and I didn't have to use another program, just built in LG HotSpot function.

Yes the G4 is fine. You are lucky.
Root access alone didn't help. The issue here is the ISP lock.
I expect a de-odexed ROM will bypass that.

Yea, I returned my 810 for a 815. I'm on cricket, 815 works perfectly fine, the 810 doesn't work.

I got the AT&T 810 and the stock wifi tether works for me. I did follow the steps in this article though. Perhaps you can give it a try too?
https://pmf.silvrback.com/fixing-tethering-on-android-kitkat

just an FYI here are the correct instructions to get it to work on an AT&T H810:
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot

I assume this would work for a rooted H815 on T-Mobile?

i had no idea the H815, unlocked version still didnt allow you to do hotspots. give it a whirl. all those do is disable the network tethering checks. if tmobile checks tethering based on other things, then i cant say that it will work

again, people that are asking if this works on your specific device, why dont you just try it? you dont need root. it takes all but 2min, and you can reverse it. just flip the flags back to 1, instead of 0

Rooted pixel 2XL. unblocked wifi tether / hotspot no internet connection.

I have successfully rooted my xl with Magisk, and unlocked the wifi tether however, The connection seems to be somewhat superficial as the connected device doesn't have any INTERNET connection. I have tried connecting both a laptop and another phone to no avail.
I have tried 2 different methods of unlocking the tether:
Adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the prop build
Installing Magisk tether mod
Both methods worked equally as half-assed.
Foxfi and all those apps don't work, I have to activate the handset hotspot in order for them to work, but even then it only broadcasts the built-in ssid.
I have scoured the Internet for some clues, but I cannot find anything that relates to my issue recently or my phone specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have a Joying stereo that is nearly useless without wifi and i dont want to have to return my phone and go back to my m9.
Pixel 2XL
Rooted
buildPD1.170816.025

I have a strange issue after i rooted my xl 2. I could no longer tether to my Nexus 7 2013 but other devices were fine. Don't recall it happening while on 8.1 DP1 or 8.0 prior to Nov update. So i'm back to stock for now and will reroot for this month's update to see if there's any change.

I just did this same thing to the "T." It works.
Download the magisk module through magisk downloads tab and then hook up your phone. Launch a power shell or cmd window from your ADB and fastboot folder.
Type "adb shell"
Hit "enter"
Type "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
type "reboot"
Hit "enter"
Should it be letting me share wifi connection too though? It lets me share a functioning data connection, but when I hook my pixel up to wifi, turn on the hot spot, connect a device to the pixels hotspot connection, and try getting on the the internet with the second device I don't have internet on it. The second device will show a wifi connection in the status bar. I'm not really worried about it because I think any time I use hotspot it's with a data connection, but I thought I should be able to share a wifi connection too.

Have you been able to do this before? Every device I've ever had will turn off my WiFi as soon as I turn on hotspot. I haven't used it on the pixel 2 yet, but I'm looking a mod that will work on TMobile

It does turn off wifi. From my understanding it IS like that on every device that makes a hot spot. They only want you sharing a data connection. You can share wifi. Say you worked at a place that didn't want anything on their wifi except company devices. If you could share a wifi connection this would allow potentially malicious devices onto the network. That's why I think you can only share data. I think this is standard. If I'm wrong or if there is a work around to be able to share wifi hopefully someone will chime in and correct me.

Unlocked AT&T e980 - Lost WiFi tethering with transfer to Mint Mobile - 4G LTE works

Unlocked AT&T e980 - Lost WiFi tethering with transfer to Mint Mobile - 4G LTE works
I thought members here might know if this solution I found for phones using KitKat might be my issue. Setting up the APN for Mint is trivial and know to be correct. Why no WiFi tethering for pc? Here is what I found but I do not want to implement this w/o gaining more confidence this will work...no desire to kill the phone. Mint tells me they do not block tethering. The e980 only offers WiFi and Bluetooth tethering. I do not see an option for USB tethering unless it is located in a unique place.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Any ideas?
Edit - Bluetooth tethering does not work either. I can connect a pc and the e980 via Bluetooth but enabling BT tethering on the e980 gives the same fault message.
