Hi,
First, I´d like to use this post to thank dexter for his foliomod.
I´ve just bought a folio and installed your mod the same day ;-)
Thank you very much for this fine job.
My question:
Is it possible to use usb theter with htc hero?
I can use it with my pc, but have no results with the folio.
In the other hand, is quickoffice installed in your mod? I can find it in the apps list, but I have no icons to launch it.
Again, thanks
I am not sure if u can use usb tether on the folio, but surely u can download a tethering app from the market and make it work with the folio. it is wireless and much easier than walking around with usb cables.
check out the android market for wifi tether apps, they do work like a charm.
Hi, kaivish.
Thanks for your answer. Actually, I´m able to use wifi tether (after a long time of thorougt search to activate ad-hoc in the folio ;-) )
But I´m still interested in USB tether because is faster and simple. I could charge my phone simultaneusly and I wouldn´t need to configure nothing, nor using external programs.
Anyways, now I can use my phone´s internet conection, at least.

Has anyone been able to successfully connect DUN over BT using wmodem? I have installed the addon cab and can find the DUN connection when pairing my phone with my laptop, but when I go to connect it gives me a 678 error. I have no problems connecting wmodem over USB or using "Internet Sharing" to connect cover BT and USB.

Had issue with wmodem but Internet Sharing that was on my custom rom works like a champ. I'm pulling 1.0 to 1.2 Mbps almost all the time. I can't remember if it was on my stock rom, but if not, I'm sure it's available somewhere on here.
Nate
i was just about to do a search on this. then i scrolled down the list and found this post. I'm very interested in getting BT DUN working on my Mac, since you can't use USB.
If you find an internet sharing cab, can you post here?
Thanks.
yeah i do not mean to hijack your thread but when i try to tether via bluetooth to my new macbook with internet sharing, the internet connection crawls!! i mean CRAWLS!!! lol
I have BT and USB connection with a windows laptop and it runs perfect. any ideas on how to speed up the connection?
Thanks!

this is really the best solution if you want to connect to a Mac. Works perfect and is worth the money! Hella fast too when connecting through WiFi. But you have the option to connect through WiFi, Bluetooth & USB.
When I connect through WiFi, I'm getting 1.2mb down and 500kb up.
It worked great for a while about a month or 2 ago when I bought it. But then I was playing with the Mac network settings and stuff and managed to jack it up. But here's what I was doing wrong:
Connecting through WiFi, there is open & wep. I chose wep. So on WiFiRouter you select your wep password. I chose a simple word, let's say "keyboard". On the Mac when you select to connect wep, using keyboard for the password won't work. You need to enter the 20 digit hex value that WiFiRouter gives you after you put in the password "keyboard".
Hope this helps anyone who might have problems setting it up. I didn't change any settings on WiFiRouter. Works right out of the box. You just have to make sure you set it up correctly on the Mac.
I use ICS over Bluetooth all the time. works great.
I now have ICS. Unlocked my HTC Touch Pro and used Scott Scrosler's ROM. But I'll most likely use WiFiRouter since it's about 3-4X faster going through WiFi. Need the speed for VPN.
I have an HTC Touch Pro and an asus eee pc and have tried and searched everywhere to figure out how to bluetooth pair these two, but I've had no luck. I can USB pair just fine with Internet Sharing. Has anyone had success with this? I'd rather go the free route than spend the $ for wmwifirouter, if possible. TIA
Well on W7 at least all I have to do is select Bluetooth as my connection option in ICS and then right click on my phone in the Bluetooth Devices window on my PC and go to where it says "Join PAN" and it connects faster than it would by USB. The range sorta sucks though. Has to be within like 5 feet to keep from disconnecting. But GRemote works from like 25 feet away.
Internet Sharing NO Registry Edit Needed
Hi. For those with ATT FUZE Stock Rom
I got this CAB (ICS INstaller) from a website with a topic of the last free version of WMWifiRouter by chainfire, just install the CAB and it will enable Internet Sharing, and NO registry edit needed.
As far as I remembered this is needed in order to use Internet Sharing and also if you want to use WMWifiRouter by chainfire.
Enjoy.

I'm facing a lot of disconnects using Bluetooth PAN, however over USB works great! If I have to use the cell phone near the computer, I'd rather use the cable.
I only wanted to use bluetooth because I could put the cell phone near the window which is where I have better signal when I'm on the mountains with GPRS-only..
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
Bloke
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.
Bloke
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
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Guys!?I can't get pdanet working..I wanna use it with windows 7 and Bluetooth.. does not work :-(

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?
Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
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
-X10(a)i 2.1, JIT ~ via XDA App
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 =)
Hi Guys,
Anyone on how to tether to win XP with a 2.2 ROM?
Hey all,
I was wondering if there is a barnicle-like, free app so that I am able to use USB Tethering and charge my phone while I'm at school using their desktop computers? or am I just blind and its in the settings somewhere.
Thanks in advance

I was looking for the same thing since the stupid computers at my school don't have wireless network adapters built in. If we can get the bootloader unlocked then we could get a vanilla (plain) Android ROM, possibly 2.3. With Google's stock Android there is the option for USB and Mobile AP (USB tethering and WiFi tethering).
Sorry I couldn't help.
You could pay for tethering like I don't know responsible people. If you can't pay for something you should not steal it.
If you payed for tethering and you wanted USB tethering then you can get barnacle by enabling sideloading and finding it on line (a simple google search should find it).
1. I'm in Aus, tethering is free
2. I have barnacle, it doesn't USB tether. key word being USB!
sorry but you should at least read the OP before posting yourself.

perfect and exactly what I needed, doesn't work with debugging though which I found out shortly after installing xD
Ok, I have a new Acer Iconia A200 tablet. It's WiFi only. My DX2 is running CM7 with the tethering patch applied.
The question is this: how can I USB tether my tablet with my phone? I have seen plenty of articles about phone to laptop/PC running XP/W7/Mac OS/Linux but nothing about Android to Android, particularly with USB. I know how to turn on the tethering on the phone. The tablet has both host and slave USB ports.
As a computer tech, I got the tablet so that I could put manuals on it instead of lugging my laptop around but sometimes you need an internet connection and a lot of places don't allow outside folks to tap their wireless network.
Thanks in advance. And just an FYI - the tablet is rooted and running ICS.
Search for an app called FoxFi in the Market. I installed it on my Droid X (stock, unrooted) and it works great for tethering my Transformer Prime. Maybe it will work for your device/rom as well.
I had problems getting it to work initially. I had to reboot my phone and turn off wi-fi first before it worked.
This app can tether via wi-fi or bluetooth. I have only tested wi-fi.
As far as USB tethering between two Android devices, I've never tried it. PdaNet 3.02 may be capable of doing this, but I don't really know.
Hope this helps.
Hello XDA,
it's it's time for me to root my EVO3D.
I'm actually pretty happy with HTC's widgets and the setup I have now, but the phone is sluggish and I can't stand Sprint's apps that show up every time I upgrade.
I rooted my old phone in the past (it was an HTC hero) successfully with cyanogen, but the last time I checked this mod doesn't exist for the 3D, at least not a stable one. I liked cyanogen because it was really well balanced, slick and fast. I need something as transparent as possible. I'd also like to be able to use the 3D camera if possible, but if I have to give it up for a really good mod, I don't really mind.
The most important thing for me is tethering. I am about to get the new Chromebook and I need it to recognize the phone and tether through it. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I'm using EasyTether for now which has been really good to me, but there's no way to install it to a chromebook without some development patch which I don't think I want to apply right off the box.
So, what do you guys suggest? What is a fast Mod? I would def. need the Google App package, but I really don't need any car-related set up or apps (I live in NYC) and I don't care about radio or sports TV or any of the other Sprintcrap.

You should be able to use the Wi-Fi Tether app from the Play Store except on Sense 4.x ROM's if you are rooted, and if not you can try FoxFi in bluetooth mode (wi-fi is not supported on the Evo 3D). ClockworkMod Tether is similar to Easy Tether and doesn't require root, but again there are no drivers to support the Chromebook as a client.

Ramjet,
Which Rom would you suggest then? There are a couple of choices and I'm just not sure where to begin. Just to be clear, I don't need the phone to pick up Wi Fi, as the chromebook can do it itself; I need to be able to use the dataplan, preferably with the usb cable because it keeps the phone charged for longer periods.
Thanks!

The problem is finding the drivers for your Chromebook to use a USB tethering program. As long as your phone is rooted you can use Wi-Fi Tether with your phone connected via USB to charge, and even use it as an access point for other devices at the same time should the need arise.
Regarding the ROM, most 3.6 Sense ROM's run Wi-Fi Tether fine, but if you want to narrow it down you can be the guinea pig for our new ROM Information Thread.

Well I now rooted my phone and I'm trying to play with the wifi tether, but my chromebook won't connect. I see it under networks and it tries to connect, but can't. Any suggestions?
