Hello Everyone...
I want to first than everyone in the forum for all your posts.. With your help I have SIM unlocked my AT&T Tilt phone to work with my carrier (Einstein PCS).
I am not new to Smartphones.. My first being a Motorola MPX220 that I used a modified rom to have 2003... After that I had a iPaq 6515.... Now I have my Tilt.. I did a hard reset when I got it and rebooted near the end to precent all the installation of much of the AT&T bloatware... I got the settings I needed for my carries internet... But it seems to only work sometimes.. If I am simply web-browsing it is great, or using software like IM+... But when I try to run updates, or TomTom Traffic (among many other things) it does not work and seems to try to be connecting to AT&T or something to that effect. If I am connected via Wifi everything works fine. This becomes very irritating as I can't be connected via Wifi and be driving around... I loose the signal and there aren;t always Wifi hotspots available. We have bad traffic problems in this area and the TomTom Traffic usually helps reroute it well. Any suggestions? As I said, some stuff works, other stuff doesn;t. I will include the settings I got from my provider below. I also manually delelted the AT&T settings in the conenctiuon manager thinking that would help.. it did not.
under proxy settings check: this network connects to the internet
check this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
proxy server should be :192.168.254.251
click advanced
http: 192.168.254.251:8080
wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
secure wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
socks (blank)
under modem, your access point name should be : apn
name and password blank.
under advanced check use server assigned ip address
Those are hthe instructions given to me by my provider.. ANY help would be greatly appreciated! My carrier chargs me about $50 a month for unlimited Voice, TXT, and Internet, so I want to stick with them. (BTW< I am also having problems using MMS messaging).

First of all, you might want to look into installing the OEM htc rom... The ATT rom has hidden proxies that might be causing you issues, besides, you dont really want all the ATT bloat to begin with since its not going to work with your carrier!
Thanks for the advice.. but I had read people are having problems with the GPS chip when they do that.. is that correct? I downloaded a few of the roms, but not sure on how to install them, or to even know which would be best for me.. Any suggestions? Also, any step by step walk through on how to install them exactly? Preferabley something that will work with Vista as I run x64 ultimate... IF not I can get acess to an XP machine.. but not as easily... Thanks in advance

Many people, myself included, are using unlocked Tilts on other networks without any problems. It's hard to say which rom would be best, it's really a matter of opinion. No doubt, you will have to read...and I recommend you start with the wiki. All the info you are looking for is covered there.

this will give you a link to the official HTC rom
The people you read about with problems on anything are usually using cooked roms or using an incompatible radio. But for YOU, i would suggest using the OEM rom which is linked in that thread i gave you..
Hey everyone, I know you cannot use the the G1's hotspot access on any device other then the G1. I spend alot of time in Starbucks. Is there a way to use the G1's hotspot access for Internet on my laptop. Tethering via wi-fi is nice as is but with only edge here in Hawaii, its too slow. I was hoping someone could help me figure this out. Hopefully just a socks proxy, method will be developed for web surfing.
username should be your mobile number without dashes so 9545555555 and pw should be last 4 of social security number as listed on tmobile account, if not call and theyll fix account, mine was inactive at first

hey! thats my phone number!!!!
You can use the port forwarding app in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443025. Get you G1 signed on to the hotspot and use the program to tether your laptop.
I wasn't aware that I could use t-mobile hotspots from my laptop by logging in with my phone number. I'll have to try that out next time I'm in Starbucks. Thanks for the tip!
So if the above works for you, you're probably set, but if you have rooted your phone you can also use the tetherblu app here:
http://androidactivity.com/
This would allow you to use the free t-mob wifi hotspot access on your phone and connect to it with your laptop. It's a MUCH faster connection than the SOCKS proxy method, and you don't have to carry around a USB cable.

I was told that doesn't apply to the G1 data Hotspot account. Can anyone else confirm that? I'd love to have it working again.
Of course, I know I can use my G1 and tether the Hotspot to the laptop.

That's what I was told. Pisses me off because I was told that the G1 data plan included "HotSpots" without being told that it was on the phone only.
You can get 2 hours free at Starbucks, FYI, if you buy something on a Starbucks Card (gift card, not the credit card).
I was told that even my laptop would work... but soon found out otherwise.

Honestly the idea of paying for WiFi has run its course. All of the (non-Starbucks) coffee shops around here offer free WiFi.
One thing you might find interesting is that pretty much every sports bar (e.g. Buffalo Wild Wings) has free WiFi. Why? Two words: fantasy baseball.
Even our airport (Denver) has free WiFi now, although you have to sit through an ad to access it.
Any news on this. I thought I had seen somewhere an app that did this, but I can't find it anymore. Why doesn't someone make a "TetherPatch" application. Screen splits into two halves. On one side how your computer is connecting to g1 on the other how your g1 is connecting to internet. And the app makes the "patch" to get the data flowing. If you make the app, gimme some love.

There are tethering apps out there already.
Could you tell me which apps allow me to connect this way?
laptop >> USB >> G1 >> WiFi (Tmo HotSpot)
I found the one that let's you connect to the net over the 3G network. I am looking for a way to use this concept at a hotspot. Thanks. All my searches don't seem to get me that info.
It's a no go with the G1 data plan. You can connect to the hotspot via the G1 but not from your laptop. Kinda stupid in my eyes seeming I could do it with when I had my Dash...but oh well...on to other methods.

Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

I just tried this app on my computer, and I can confirm that the pre release works on the HTC Hero stock rom with no problems. I did this test on Windows 7 x64
I still can't get this to work. Unfortunately at my work, we have some corporate policy that keeps me from accessing my wireless tethering connection the tether app creates in modaco's 1.1 rom. Doubt it's anything with the app, but rather I just can't connect to "that type" of connection.
So, that leaves me with USB tethering. No problem at all! But, how do I do it? I'm still getting error 67 codes even though I've got root access. Thanks for help in advance!!
I haven't tested this but these commands (entered either through adb or a terminal emulator on the phone) should get you up and running with USB tethering (make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer from HTC Sync).
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
To turn it off just go into your wireless controls and disable wireless sharing to reset everything.
The easiest way to achieve WORKING WiFi tether is with MoDaCo 1.1. If you've already rooted, you should have used nandroid to create and restore (to make sure your backup works!) a backup. The app "Quick Boot" on the market is the easiest way for you to reboot into recovery mode without having to use adb. If you have a working backup, then you should really try out the ROM, as you can always revert back if something goes wrong! Essentailly, ya got nothing to lose!
P.S. I posted this using Wifi Tether App with MoDaCo Rom 1.1! AWESOME!

I tried this from a shell last night, and it DID turn on my mobile connection sharing, but I still got error 67's, no differently than if I would have checked the check box in wireless settings. So, it appears this is no dice.

I also have MoDaCo 1.1 and while I believe that the wifi tethering DOES work, my work laptop blocks the wireless connection, possibly because it sees it as a peer to peer maybe. In any case, I couldn't tether wirelessly before either in Vista with Windows Mobile either, had to use the USB cable. In all honestly, I like that more anyway because it charges the phone at the same time.
So, anyone that is rooted with a Sprint Hero, can you tether with USB without 67 errors? Thanks in advance!
+1 this thread.
I prefer USB tether to WiFi tether for a couple reasons.
First, it uses less power, so even if your phone is plugged in via USB, it will charge faster.
*EDIT* So, after using the WiFi tether app with my phone plugged in via USB and my laptop plugged in, my phone was LOSING battery, albeit at a slower rate.
Second, I used to get lower ping times with my phones tethered via USB when I had a Blackberry and a Palm Pre (usually 90-130 ms) With the WiFi tether, I seem to be getting 150-230 ms ping times.
Third (and I don't know if this is the same for everyone else, but) I'm getting only 0.8-1.2 mbps down speeds and only 0.2-0.5 mbps up speeds.
So yeah, if people would still keep looking for a mobile network sharing exploit, I'd greatly appreciate it
Then plug it up to the a/c charger. USB charges slower regardless. Only way I know of tethering with usb is to use tetherbot and that isn't true tethering as it uses a SOCKS proxy and you have to have the SDK on the computer. Not to mention you'll be stuck with Firefox unless you can configure the proxy for other programs. There was some other workaround posted on here though.
Just because you've rooted doesn't mean it removes Sprint's system of how people tether. They use a two-NAI system. 1st NAI = your normal data username and password. 2nd NAI = Your PAM (Phone-As-Modem) password which is issued when people have that add-on on their plan, which can't be added to the Everything Data plans.

The point the original poster was making is that WiFi tether is not an option for them. Since I'm in the same boat a USB Tether option (if it was ever discovered) would be useful. I don't think it's a ridiculous question to ask if there was a way to do it. I've USB Tethered with my iPhone and Nokia E71 without a problem.
Like the original poster my corporate laptop's security policy does not allow me to connect to an Ad-Hoc network, like the one created through WiFi tether.

This app is the wired version of the Wireless tether that comes installed on the MoDaCo rom.
I've been following this app recently, and have it installed on the Hero, but of course since it was ported for the G1 only, it doesn't work on our Hero. It's interesting because it was created with pieces from the Hero in the first place. It says on the site that it will tell you that you do not have the proper kernel installed if that requirement isn't met, and I'm NOT receiving that message.
In fact, everything seems to go just fine when I launch the app, and allow root access. It's right after that where I get a FC as the app is trying to access the system settings menu.
Any smarties out there that would care to take a stab at how we could get this working for both the GSM and CDMA Hero?
Why not use PdaNet it seems to work fine on my laptop. I do have a question on tethering however either wireless or usb. Is it ok to do this on a Sprint everything data plan or do I have to upgrade to something else. If I tether without upgrading will I see a large charge on my bill? I do not use it much if ever but was just wondering if this would effect my bill.

If PDANet wasn't 30 bucks, I'd gladly consider it. However, I've been tethering over USB with all of my Sprint phones for goodness knows how long, with no problems.
With your everything data plan, you shouldn't see any problems at all. The wired tether app basically just starts an adhoc wireless connection, and then funnels through your data connection to the laptop connected to it. To the data line, and to Sprint, it's no different than an app using data.
In essence, this is how ANY wired USB app should eventually work from a tethering standpoint. Yes, Sprint uses a two tiered NAI system to control data and PAM. However, the trick ALWAYS has been to have the phone not report/act that it's using PAM, rather just turn on mobile sharing and funnel through the internet connection. This is how it worked with Windows Mobile phones too, and eventually will be the same with our Hero. It will have to eventually be done on the Application level, rather than using mobile connection sharing through settings. When this is activated, the Hero attempts to use the PAM settings. We'll either have to remove this somehow, or do it all through the app itself. It will have to be a "middle man" of sorts, isolating the incoming data line, and then acting as a liaison to push it through the USB to the laptop.
That's how I understand it in my head, anyway
I'm not sure what triggers it, but most of the time that command line works for tethering for me (which is why I originally posted it). About one in five times I get the error 67.

So, can you help clarify your workflow for using it? Are you running it from an ADB Shell on your laptop, or are you launching it from a terminal emulator on your Hero? Also, do you have any wireless settings modified (such as hybrid vs. 1x only) or do you have the mobile network turned off first?
Or, are you more simply just running this from a shell while everything is up and running as normal?
Thanks in advance!
FYI, you can use PdaNet for free WITHOUT paying for it. You only are required to pay for it for any use other than HTTP://. FTP use isn't really a good idea anyway because if Sprint see's you're tethering too much data, they'll know you're tethering and cut you.

Not necessarily. I was tethering daily at one point and they never said a word. This includes browsing and downloading 1gb+ torrents.
Mmmh ... you guys could try this application:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
This is 99% based on "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and might work. I've never tested it on a hero. I have it running on a G1 and Magic ... both with a patched kernel - these patches came from Zinx Verituse and the hero-kernel was base for this port.
No idea if it really works ... but you could try.

Hi harry, I've unfortunately not had this work quite yet, I get a force close from the system settings this app is trying to access. My guess is that the kernel isn't patched for it. We might have to request this in future CDMA Hero roms. Thanks!

I got it for free as well.
I can confirm that the USB tether using the command line works for me. I'm getting 1.28Mb/s down and 0.48Mb/s up.
Okay, need a little bit of assistance to see what basic step I am missing. I've just taken my stock Sprint HTC Hero (1.56 RUU), rooted it using the steps on the site here, and flashed the Fresh 2.1 ROM onto the device through the MicroSD Card. Between the rooting and the custom Flash, I was hoping this would be enough to get tethering working but I seem to be stuck somewhere.
When I attempt to use the Wifi Tether for Root that's built in, no other computer is able to see the created access point, so as a result, no connections, no data passing. It doesn't shoot up any error message, nor does it cause any interruption in my mobile network data as a result. So everything appears to work well, just not tethering.
Maybe related, maybe not, when I try and do a straight-up wired tether, I get an Error 67 saying my Sprint username and password are wrong. I was hoping that with just rooting the phone now and using a Fresh ROM that is post when they found out about the PRI issues that it would fix it. My PRI currently shows as flipz_01.
So, I've done the research, I've come up with solutions that appear to be helpful, I'm just wanting to get a little assurance of the next step I need to do to make sure this works, still new to the Android flashing process.
Thanks!
When you used WiFi tether, were you prompted to give it superuser permissions? If so, did you allow?

The version that comes with the latest Fresh 2.1 ROM is 1.6, so I don't think that's the issue.
The thing that concerns me is that the PRI says "flipz_01". Most everyone on here seems to have PRI numbers that match something completely different, and I am worried that mine may have been overwritten. I have done a check for an updated PRL since I moved to the custom ROM, but nothing with the PRI.
Honestly, I didn't do anything fancy at all. I just fired it up and looked for the ESSID on my laptop. When I selected it to connect, I went back to the phone, selected menu, Access Control, and selected my laptop to allow the connection. It just worked from there.

Don't sweat that. He did that so you could tell that the proper PRI is being used. As long as your PRL is 60663 or 60664, you are good to go.
pri is why the wired tether through htc sync doesn't work, and you can't do anything about that, I'm afraid. Uninstall wireless tether and try to reinstall. It worked great for me when I was on fresh rom.

... and it is 60664, so that's good.
Now as far as an ESSID code, where on the laptop did you find that? Assume I'm running Windows 7 ... cause I am!
And, a secondary question for my own familiarity. Should I be seeing an infastructure access point with this wireless tether or is everything done ad hoc?
danaff37: Since the wireless tether is cooked in to the Fresh ROM, is uninstalling going to involve re-cooking the ROM or is there an app I need to acquire to make the process doable? I don't mind if that's the case, although it will certainly be more of an adventure! Good to know on the wired tether with HTC Sync too, I'll try the wired tether app for that purpose.
it's an ad hoc network.
did it ask for su permission when you stopped it as well?
... and with that I think we have our answer. Just tested this on an older XP laptop with Intel ProSet since it does a great job of seeing ad hoc wireless, and it saw it right off the bat. I did notice that the app didn't remember my custom SSID, which is fine as long as I can tell what SSID to use.
(Now asking about ESSID feels a bit silly)
That said, should Windows 7 be seeing these ad-hoc networks in its normal view, or do I need to specially program those names in?
danaff37: Yep, it's allowed in both directions. SU was never an issue which is why I was initially a bit fooled.
(and go figure, my Win7 laptop sees it now, I think it was playing tricks on me!)
Thanks for the help guys, there are great tips in here for newbies like me getting used to the tethering.
I think it defaults to "HTCTether", but don't quote me on that. You can change it to whatever you want in the wireless tether app in its settings/preferences.
Bring up your wireless network connection manager on your pc and let it scan for available networks. Hopefully, the tether will be listed.
I have win 7 64 bit, and it picks it up fine. Shows up after a couple of seconds of turning it on.
default is g1Tether
I am running Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit and it found it without any problems as well. I haven't tried it on Linux yet. May be time to reboot just to see....
I have a fully functional wired tether and wireless tether setup on my phone running Fresh 2.0d (I have also changed my PRI)
all the information to do this is readily availible if you search
I usually have to start wifi tether and then go to mobile network and uncheck it then check it again then I can get on the internet.
Edit: This works with Linux and Windows. In Linux I had trouble connecting, I used Wifi Radar to do it. It works perfectly after that.

This. There's a thread on getting MNS working, I actually was using it for two weeks until we got our internet turned on. Worked great and I transferred over 3GB with no problem.
same thing for me
flipz pri is 1.70, and thats the correct one, although to my knowledge wired tether doesnt work, only wireless tether works, when you first open wireless tether, it should ask you to allow superuser permissions, you have to make you sure you click always allow. Make sure you use wireless tether 1.6 it works best.
