Noob Desire Tethering question

If I select "internet sharing" when connecting to my PC, does that mean my PC uses my mobile data, or does it mean my desire can use my PC's internet ?
Ideally I want my desire to use my computers connection when I am in my office (i'm on telstra in australia with a limited 3G plan)
Thanks, Dean

It means your PC is using your mobile data (with your limited 3G plan) and NOT the other way around.
If you need internet connection in office, I suggest that you make use of any Wifi in office instead of your limited 3G plan.

I though so

Thanks for that, I thought that was the case but wasnt sure.
Now I need to work out how to set up a local wifi network at work.
Cheers, Dean

Is there anyway to force the phone to use the desktop internet when connected via usb ?

[Q] Any luck with WiFi tether app?

I just bought the Note2 for Tmobile with unlimited data but I did not pay for the plan with tethering through the t-mobile hotspot because those plans limit the amount of high-speed data you get. The majority of my data is used directly from my phone but on rare occasions I would like the option to tether my laptop. Does anyone know of an app (or workaround) that works on the N2 that will allow you to WiFi tether?

This worked for me, except I had to use tethering widget-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achmyr.android.froyo& instead of wifi for root users

[Q] Easy tethering

Back when I had a jailbroken iPad & iPhone I had an app that was installed on both devices that made tethering crazy easy. When I turned the screen on the iPad and it didnt detect a wifi connection, it would automatically connect to my phone via bluetooth(could be wifi as well) for an internet connection. Does such an app exist for Android, or is this something I am going to need to do manually?

Even easier on Android no extra apps needed.
Just turn on tethering on your phone whatever phone it is and then connect to it via normal WIFI....simple as that.
Well it is from my S3 to Note 2014.

some of us are still on verizon unlimited and don't get the "free" tethering. i believe pdanet / foxfi may do that. i'm not actually sure as i've always been rooted with roms that have tether unlocked.

[Q] Wifi Sharing Connection Issue

I have two phones - HTC Touch Pro 2 with native Sprint service and grandfathered plan of 450 anytime and unlimited internet and the other is a Samsung Galaxy Note II using MVNO (Ringplus) service with unlimited talk and text but only 400 MB data. I have an app on HTC Touch Pro 2 called xda-wifi-sharing which when enabled uses Sprint's 3G network and forms a peer network with WEP protection key and I use it sometimes to connect my laptop for internet browsing with an OK connection speed. My laptop can recognize the peer network and easily connect to it thereby satisfying my need of wireless internet connectivity. So for saving on the data on my Samsung Galaxy Note II's data usage, I tried to connect it to the xda-wifi peer network created by the HTC Touch Pro II but that particular SSID does not even appear in my Samsung G N II's wifi networks. I'm running CWM M9 build on a rooted Samsung G N II with CWM 6.4.0.3 recovery. Can somebody please suggest if
1. The AOSP ROMs can idenity and/or connect to peer networks ?
2. If yes to question1, then what procedure should I follow to connect to such peer networks ?
Basically, I'm looking forward to using my native Sprint service through HTC Touch Pro 2 with the XDA-Wifi-Sharing app that creates a peer Wifi network, that my Samsung Galaxy Note II can connect to and use for internet browsing rather than using the limited 400 MB bandwidth allocated throught the MVNO i.e RingPlus.

Is your Samsung able to recognize other Wi-Fi networks?

Yes Harsha.. I can successfully connect to other "infrastructure" mode networks on my Samsung GN II without any issues. I can also connect to Sprint's own 4G LTE (provided thru. MVNO Ringplus) without any issues. Its only this peer-peer network that is initiated by the XDA-Wifi-Sharing app residing on my HTC TP 2 that I cannot connect to. Forget about connecting, the Samsung GN II can not even see that network's SSID.

Did you try adding your peer networks SSID manually?

:good:

Yes.. I did.. but no luck. The network is transmitting the SSID and my computer can detect it but my Samsung GN II cannot. So that means the phone just can't detect any peer adhoc networks. Was wondering if there was some other way to do this.

huge tmobile tethering problem

So I'm almost lost on where to begin. I feel like I have tried everything but here we go.
Sgh m919 4.4.2 rooted stock. Rooted via towel root, Knox warranty void 0x0
Plan: unlimited everything (unlimited 4G lte all the time) 2 lines 5gb hotspot for $100
So for a long time I used wifi tether router to create a hotspot for other devices like ps3s and computers to connect to. This would use my unlimited mobile data and wouldn't touch my regular hotspot count. It worked amazingly! But at some point it started to use my regular hotspot and I was directed to the dreaded tmobile upsell page. Well this pretty much ruined my life because I live in a place that provides Internet and won't let you get your own and it's super slow. Like less then 1mb per sec slow. .. So i have been desperately trying to find a work around. I had countless emails with the developer with the end result being him saying here are some vpns people say they have had success with I can help you no further. So i tried those but it did not seem to work at all. I tried using several vpn applications with wifi tether router. Vpn applications with it all built into the app and you just have to hit connect to open vpn. Then I found these guides and tried this method: http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.ae/2014/03/wifi-hotspot-through-vpn.html?m=1
http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/gu...phone-vpn-gateway-bypass-tethering-block.html
but that didn't seem to work either. So i went back to the past and tried using other methods from before rooting my phone. In the past I would use pdanet+ to usb tether a windows 7 laptop and use the Internet connection sharing function to share the Internet connection from pdanet to a router plugged in via ethernet cable. It worked back then and worked this time, for the most part. You have to use hide tether usage level 1 to bypass the upsell page. In the past this wasn't a problem. I could do anything just as if connected to my hotspot. But now I can't get netflix to work on anything but a mobile device. Not my ps3, computers, smart tv, nothing. User agent switchers don't solve the problem. So this gave me another idea. Try to use the computer as a vpn gateway. So i downloaded open vpn client and tried some free vpns. I wasn't using pdanet at this point. I was trying to connect the computer to wifi tether router and basically encrypt all Internet traffic from my isp (tmobile) using a vpn. So if I start the vpn and am connected to the phone via wifi and share the wifi connection to the router I still hit the upsell page or it will keep on trying to load Web pages in the browser but will never load them. So when I use open vpn client on widows 7 it creates it's own network adapter. So i tried to share that to the router and connect another computer. It barely worked, speed was awful according to speedtest.net . While running vpn I can watch netflix after downloading Microsoft silver light on computer running vpn but not very well. So i thought maybe I could use my computer as a vpn server but was unsuccessful. I tried fiddler in the past but all it did was mess with my computer. I tried wireless tether for root users and the treve mod version, this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/how-to-tether-blocking-fix-t2544487 and several other things.
I really need help figuring out how to get tethering working again.
My needs are complicated as well. I wasn't to keep Knox unvoided for one. I as well would like to be somewhat mobile with my phone. I don't want to have to keep it plugged into the computer all the time to have Internet access. Which means even if i get pdanet working with Netflix that's just temporary. Ultimately i would like to use just my phone but know that just may not be possible.
Ultimate goal: wireless tether using just phone with good speeds, ping/latency.
Acceptable goal: wireless tether to computer and share internet connection through router to maintain mobility with phone.
Temporary goal: get netflix working with pda net usb tethering.
I need to be able to use netflix on ps3, computer, and smart tv.
My ideas that I have no idea how to implement.
Use the computer to encrypt data from tmobile, vpn? Proxy? Ssh tunnel?
Use another phone to pick up the wireless tether router hotspot and somehow force pdanet to use the wifi connection of that phone instead of the mobile data it tries to use normally or mask the wifi connection as the mobile data connection or something. Basically use pdanet to share the extra phones wifi connection so I have mobility with my actual phone.
Ps. When using wifi tether router other andriod devices can connect and use application like normal but nothing else.
Can anyone help me get my tethering working again? I need help really bad and would greatly appreciate it.

No one wants to say it, so I will.
You need to get yourself some good old fashioned Internet access from an Internet provider.
Tmobile is on to your data abuse and put a jihad on your data black hole.
Downgrade your Tmo plan and buy into some Internet access from your local provider.

Has anyone found a solution to the OPs concern for how to get tethering working again through T-Mobile? It use to be that you could use an app like: Tether (from Clockwork Mod) or EasyTether (from Play Store) to get around T-Mobile's restriction on tethering; however, those don't seem to work anymore (ever with user agent spoofing) - has anyone found a current solution for tethering on T-Mobile?

No.

Whatever VPN witchcraft PdaNet+ uses to hide tether usage makes Netflix unusable on a PC. The way around this is to unhide the tether usage, load whatever it is on Netflix you want to watch (once the red circle starts spinning is good enough), then re-hide the tether usage. I don't know if doing the same will let Netflix work properly on your other devices, as I've never tried. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't try with my TV's Netflix app.
It's a nuisance, but it's something one just has to put up with if you're using your phone plan as your home internet. I don't understand the reason this happens. Websites still detect your Windows version and browser just fine, yet Netflix thinks you're incompatible for some reason.
FWIW, Amazon Prime doesn't have this problem.
I also don't know why WiFi Tether Router stopped working for you. It works fine for me.
