Tethering on X10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive looked around, can you natively tether an X10 and get internet access or do you need to install software like easytether?
Ps I cant get easythether to work either. (PS just got that working ;-) )
Thanks

No native app I know of that comes with the X10 for tethering. Try PdaNet, works like a charm for me. =)

I second this. Great app. Well worth the money.

I'm trying to tether with my ipad using X10 but PDAnet shows in order to use buletooth tether I need to be on andriod 2.0 or above! any way I can do it on 1.6?
Thank you.

Tethering
Thans for the PDAnet mention, isntalled that, its working nicely.
Was jsut used to HTC phones connecting automatically with internet sharing.
Not sure about the bluetooth tethering, as it states, needs 2.0
Wont be long till Paul has rooted it, the we can get vanilla 2.1 on and will work ok.

yeah the windows mobile htc's have automatic tethering ??
anyways
pdanet, you have to install their software on the pc that you want to tether too right ?

Barnacle works like a charm!

just root the phone, and use barnacle, PDA something is harder

Easy tether works great and easy to use

Root the phone, use barnacle and tether over wifi. I just could not get BT to work with PDANet

If we start barnacle, can we connect other phone? Or just PC only?

O. You mean: run barnacle use x10. And then just search for wifi spot and connect. Just like that? And what ever type as long have wifi connection can connect to our x10 via barnacle? If yes... I can not connect my x8 to my x10 with wifi. Anything wrong?
Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i

I tried install barnacles, but my HTC Magic, Blackberry 8250 and Archos 101 cannot detect the wifi that's tether from my X10i....
should i change any setting?
anyone can help?

Are you searching for an infrastructure wifi connection or an adhoc? tethering is used with adhoc, its a direct connection between two devices. Refine your search to that and maybe you'll have better luck

I use barnacle at lans to share a connection with a few ppl. we all join and play starcraft2 with no problems what so ever.
Barnacle FTW!

Thanks heaps for the barnacle suggestion,works amazing

i just used barnacle wifi.. n its v gud n works just best thanks all

Question
barnacle is great, but does it also work that way:
Me (X10) connected to a (foreign) wifi-network ---> friend (iphone etc, doesn't matter) connects via my x10, and is also using the foreign network??
will soon spend some days in London with my school calss and wifi will cost money, so we wanted to buy access for 1 phone (wifi) and the rest will connect via this phone =)

With the USB I presume that is not possible.
But you can connect using the wireless.
In this case, the phone connects to the internet using 3G or similar and you connect you computer to the phone using wifi wireless connection.

Search for tethering in the market.
EasyTether seams to be very good. And no root needed.
I use Barnacle wifi to set up an adhoc wifi network, works great and is free, but does require root.

It is possible with easy tether app. I use it. With the free version one can access all free sites. For secured sites one need to have the paid version. Its very easy to setup.
Thanks

[Q]wifi connection x10 mini to laptop

is there any way to connect my laptop to x10 mini through wifi ??
so that i may do the internet through gprs via my x10 mini to laptop?
my laptop has wifi hardware!
hi,
I am assumin you want to share your mobile internet with pc.
Download z4root from market(or do a google search for this app), install on your phone and root your phone(this is 100% safe, trust me).
Then download and use Barnacle wifi tether from market and you will be able to do what you want( I use it and it works flawlessly for me)
If you can't find any app, write back to me, I will post them.
Cheers,
Sourabh
I agree with the above post and I would like to add the USB option (easy tether), because you may need or want to do it this way, too. But for wifi tethering barnacle is the right choice.

i have ported my xperia x8 with gingerdx v010 and every thing works fine, but unable to do usb tethering.Can any one help me?
My two top tethering apps have to be:
PdaNet 3.02
PdaNet can sometimes be a bit picky and will sometimes disconnect itself for no apparent reason, but its pretty good considering it's free
But the app i have found to be the most reliable is:
Klink (Red Edition)
It is £3.09, but it is alot faster than PdaNet, more reliable, it so far hasn't randomly disconnected and is very stable
Hope i helped
Beans
For Wireless i am using Wireless Tether 2.0.7 using Andyx NetFilter module.
and for Usb i am using Easy Tethering.

Has anyone been able to get pdanet or wifi tether to work on the photon?

PDANet works on mine. I think wifi tether will work if you're rooted. I am not rooted, so cannot say for sure.
I just rooted. I installed wifi tether. The phone makes it look like its working but if it does not show up in the network list of any of my devices like my laptop and my tablet. Anyone have wifi tether working after root?
I used the 3.2 beta of WiFi tether on my rooted photon and it worked great for me.
Which WiFi tether are you using? Who is the author? Did you get it from the market?
Nevermind, I picked up Barnacle Wifi from the market and it appears to work fine. I am posting this message from my Macbook over the barnacle wifi on my photon

Scratch this! The Barnacle program does work but when you turn it off and I did this twice to repeat it, I had to reboot my Macbook, my phone and for whatever reason why my home router in order to get my Macbook and Photon to connect to my home network again. So I guess back to square 1, anyone know a program that works properly? I have tried many now including different versions of WiFi tether and my Photon will not show up on any of my device networks.

I already reported PDAnet works fine. Not free but I've been using it since my Hero days almost 2 years ago and its been well worth the cost.

I downloaded out directly from their website.
i had to change the power settings then it worked fone 10+mbps when retrieving media
I used pdanet to USB tether and ir0t worked great. It was almost too easy!
I can confirm that WiFi Tether if you go to there website the 3.1 Beta 2 appears to work perfectly on a rooted Photon. My phone now shows up as a network and with security on and everything my tablet and laptop surfed the net no problem.
I disagree 3.2 doesnt work , the best you can get is adhoc and it tells you that access control can not be enabled
I can confirm that my paid-for copy of PDAnet 3.02 works on my Windows laptop w/ my non-rooted Photon over USB. However, PDAnet does not do wifi tethering.

What does your comment even mean. So is only adhoc bad? What is the use of access control?
What would be the ideal situation? Sorry for asking so many questions but I have never used the wifi tether 3.2 app before.

3.02 works for me without problem. Are you using the free or paid version? The free version has some major limitations.
easytether works, not talking about pdanet but the wifi tethering app doesnt

i have tried and tried but cannot get it to work with my photon...
Just a heads-up for anyone trying to connect to WiFi Tether with some/most Android tablets (like my Xoom). You might need to modify your device to be able to join ad-hoc networks. For the Xoom, it was as easy as replacing the wpa_supplicant binary.
Before I changed that file, my Xoom couldn't see the wireless network that my MoPho was broadcasting.

[Q] Using the Internet on your Xperia through your laptops Internet connection

Guys have any of you u shared your laptops internet connection to the phone? via WiFi or a USB cable? Im sure a smartphone of this generation should be able to do something like this but Im just not able to figure how.
I have an unlimited Internet connection on my PC so it would be nice if I could get the same on my mobile for browsing when home.
Please help.
Not to the phone, but from the phone.
Not sure how you would turn your laptop into a hotspot?
Set up an Ad-Hoc wireless network on your laptop.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Well, tried ad-hoc, it dint work. Tried connectify, that dint work either.
Then got to know about the windows program mhotspot from mhotspot.com. It has turned my laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot through which my mobile can connect to the net through.
Good for those who have a limited or slow data connection on their phone.
connectify works in my laptop
Connectify works perfectly fine for me too... What error do you get, mate?
any tutorial for conectify? noob sorry

@OP: what you're looking for is called reverse tethering. Search for it, there are lots of solutions.

Couldnt find the wifi hotspot on my phone. But since mhotspot worked fine for me dint really go further into investigating the reason. Thanks anyways.
