Tethering Problem on Mac - General Questions and Answers

Okay. So as part of a bet, I got all A's and B's on my final Report Card, and my mom bought me a Mac. Everything was good and all was fine, until I left the mac to download and Install some system updates to applications like garageband and such. Normally, the only form of internet I have is Tetheration from my G1. I was using the Wireless Tether and had left the house and left it on to Update. When I got back, I tried to go on my FaceBook, and it wouldn't load. I'm good with this kind of stuff, so I restarted the Tether, the phone, the laptops AirPort, and the laptop itself. I tried, and it wouldn't connect. now I don't know if this is a problem from my phone, or from the laptop. I tried to connect the Tether to my brothers Windows Vista, and it worked. I also don't know how to use USB Tether on a Mac. If anybody could help, that'd be awesome. I have a T-Mobile G1.
*UPDATE FROM THE LIBRARY!*
Okay, so it's not a problem with the mac, it's a problem with the Tether, but no matter how I try to use it, it won't work. Any help?
BTW, I do not say this is a Mac problem that only Macs have, it is that Mac is helping me solve my problems, when my old Windows (that is now my brothers) went around it. I love you Maccy. (That's right, I named my Mac <3)

What mac is it?

It's the MacBook. Not the pro, just the MacBook.

can't tether - please help indentify the problem

Hi all,
Im having problems with tethering with my sensation and it is frustrating me. I've tried it with 2 laptops and also with my desktop and still no success. The wireless devices do recognize the phone with no issue and showing me full reception, but yet i cant browse and it seems something is blocking it.. is it something that has to do with the phone or is it that my cell provider blocking it?
here is a picture to demonstrate the problem. As you can see, the phone is identified with full reception and telling me it is connected, but theres the yellow mark which indicate a problem and it says "no internet access" although i am connected.
It is like that with every device i try to tether

P.S
If it matters, then im using the Eleganicia sense 4 rom although this problem also happened with sense 3.6 roms as well
shame there are no replies as i'm having the same problem. it also happens with bluetooth tethering. All connects/pairs fine but no internet. I have mainly been trying to use this with my Nexus 7 for when i'm out and about. If it helps, i'm with Orange UK.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
In order to set up tethering,I went to settings/more/tethering & portable hotspot/portable WiFi hotspot settings/ and then set my password and SSID
Turn on hotspot and mobile data,find my device,connected using the password,and everything worked.
Not sure if you missed any of those steps.

[APP] SHAREit - File transfer like never before.

Hello,
a long time ago I've found this app (it was called AnyShare then) and would like to share it with You.
So what it does?
It's a file sending program that uses WIFI.
It's unique, because it's available for Android, iOS, Windows and it automatically makes a WIFI hotspot and other user can easily connect, without manually selecting the access point and entering the password. Just click the receiver and it's done.
It's even more convenient than bluetooth and the tranfer speed is depending only from the devices.
I've experienced transfer rate that has almost reached 4MB/s.
I think the android requirements are 2.3+
It has also some other functions, but try them Yourself.
And finally it's available in english for PC's
Here's the download link for all the platforms: kc.lenovo.com
Below are some screenshots (connected phone with PC).
The way it looks on the phone:

}
and on the PC:
Looks good will give it a try.
Great. Thanks for sharing.
Good
I didn't get how to use it!!
Shareit For PC
As you know SHAREit is great software that can help you to do many tasks fast and easier like transferring files faster than any medium, However, we have noticed that many people want to transfer files from their PC to Mobile or Mobile to PC can use ShareIT for PC and it supports all the versions like Windows 8,7 and Windows 10.
You can read more about that by using the website, SHAREitPC.info.
I hope this thread will be helpful for the users looking for the PC version of SHAREit.

and these files that look like the sdcard store are incredible small compared to the same ones on my friend´s pc
Sorry for the ugly post and bad english, as i said i´m new here and english is not my native language.
I hope the best for you all, and please help me if you know hot to fix it.
Thanks!!
Whats the actual hardware that you have ? It gets stuck if your pc is too weak or theres a problem with your video drivers.

[Q] Working VNC Server for 4.4.4 + weird glitch

No matter what VNC server and viewer I try on a desktop PC, none work, and they all show a black screen with weird lines.
I enable debugging mode, have correct adb connection and drivers, and I remember being able to connect through VNC fine before, but not since 4.4.3 onwards...
This is what I see... it looks like a color setting or something, but tweaking settings in the viewer leads me no results:
I also have a weird glitch where the keyboard becomes invisible after closing any VNC server, and I have to reboot to get it back visible.

bump fer justice
I've encountered a similar situation with at least 2 VNC servers. Didn't dig too much into the problem, but I'd be interested in a fix too.
I've seen TeamViewer being recommended as an alternative, but I'd rather use VNC.
Oh, and I'm using CM11, 4.4.3 nightlies.
PS: Don't bump your own threads in such a short period. You might have problems with the moderators.
Thanks... to this day, I'm still unable to use any VNC server... I even went back to stock with root, and using different PC's, but no go.
When I tried to capture screenshots from twrp recovery and I used the wrong pixel format (rgb888 instead of rgb565) or reaolution for ffmpeg to decode the raw images I got similar images like you get with vnc. I dont know is that helps or not.

Some app named System tries to connect various IPs...need help in figuring it out

I got a Moto G phone running Oreo. I have a firewall installed, and its logs show an app with the name "System" trying to connect to various AWS hosted addresses. The phone is not rooted. I am trying to find out which process this System actually is, and what is its purpose. I am trying to somehow capture some traffic and find something.
If anyone knows what exactly this is and whether I should be worried or not, please let me know.
Here are some of them:

I found some more information using logcat:
[ 10-19 17:12:33.467 1229: 1309 E/LocSvc_xtra2 ]
connect:204] connect to 54.230.93.211 failed
This is one of the IPs that System process is trying to connect. Some googling tells that this is Location Service being used probably. I have GPS turned off completely when I don't need it. I have also given access to GPS only to OpenMaps application which isn't running at the moment. All google apps are in disabled state.
I also noticed that these connection attempts happen every 5-6 minutes.
I cannot use strace as don't have root. I am trying to route the traffic from the phone through my PC to be able to capture network traffic.
