[Q] Tether (Captivate AT&T Android 2.1 stock rom with root)

So I have my stock AT&T Samsung.
I did side load a couple apps including the one in the guide to give me root.
The guide says to download the tethering thing from:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Guide says to use: wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
However that seems to be no longer on the site.
I tried file: wireless_tether_2_0_6.apk
When I click on the Wifi button it freezes.
Side note: In the manage app list (to uninstall it) its inbetween "Amazon" and "Angry Birds" alphabetically??
Then I tried file: wifi_tether_v3_0-pre4.apk
It didn't freeze.
It did have some starting errors though
Same errors if I leave it on Auto or if I pick Samsung Galaxy S.
Loading WiFi driver... done
Stopping driver... done
Loading WiFi firmware... failed
starting driver... done
Configuring softap... failed
Starting softap... failed
Activating WiFi interface... failed
Enabling NAT rules... done
Enabling IP forwarding... done
Tethering now running... done
I checked with my other computers and its not publishing the SSID.
What am I doing wrong?

Seems like they changed alot of things up on the page
Here are my copies of pre8 and the last one I dl'd, pre14.
Try those out.
Edit: Also in the morning, pick up a cup of coffee at starbucks. Sit down at a table and whip out your phone. Turn on airplane mode. Turn on wifi. Wait for data. Go to market. Search android wifi tether. Install it. Going to the market this way enables you to see apps that were being blocked by AT&T. And you will get the latest released version.
Get this one

Thanks.
I grabbed file: wireless_tether_2_0_5.apk from their site and it worked.
It did freeze when I tried to rename the SSID when it was already tethering (froze during restart) - however it seems to work.
Now I have to figure out why my chrome os cr-48 laptop has problems connecting to it...
My bus rides are going to be much more useful compared to 100mb /month.

dug around and found this
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre4.apk&can=2&q=
latest version, they seem to be on 3.0 now, released 9 hours ago
I would take that if I were you

Is it necessary to go to starbucks for the at&t hotspot to do this or can it be done on any wifi network?

Any wifi, Dunn Brother's has better coffee if you ask me. And it doesn't have to be an AT&T wifi. It can be your home wifi, drinking Folger's.
I think I just said Starbuck's cause the city I just moved to is a yuppie town and they only have Starbuck's and they are on every corner and in every grocery store. You go there and all of em are full of a bunch of pretentious bastards with glowing apples every where.
On that note, if anyone happens to from the Frisco, Tx area and knows of a good coffee house or bookstore that sells coffee and lets you read the paper. Please let me know.

[Q] Tether connecting but does not work?

Hello guys, I'm new to the site and I just have 1 question (that I have googled for about 3 hours without success).
I just got my G2X and rooted it via superoneclick as soon as I got it. I am having problems with the wifi tethering and have read that tmobile has filtered tethering on plans without the plan but I refuse to believe that they would be able to filter 3rd party tethering apps. I have tried about 4 different third party apps and the stock program. They always send out a signal but cannot connect to anything (tried on 2 different laptops). Can someone shed some light on what's going on? any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed to get the built in tether program working for my netbook I had to do an "ipconfig /release" then an "ipconfig /renew" from the command line after wifi had connected.
The wifi tethering program from the google code site worked out of the box but protection wouldn't work, and I had no desire to share my phone to the whole hotel

What do you mean protection doesn't work? Thr set password works fine for me

I'm getting crazy with the wifi thetering.
yesterday everything was working fine, including protection.
Today is not working. I made 2 reset. I have always error in portable wifi hotspot

Now I'm able to connect the notebook to the wifi tetheting, I'm using Open Garden Wifi Tether.
I'm still not able to connect the blackberry

It would show two networks, one protected, one not, the protected one didn't work and anyone could connect to the unprotected one

I pay for tethering on one of my phones (mine) and am trying it now for the 1st time....very fast. Wouldn't connect at first then I let windows do a troubleshoot and it corrected the issue. Seems to work well. I've been having a lot of power failures this year so want to ensure my wife can have internet for her work.
But I think I've read that the providers can't prevent tethering apps from working. Haven't I heard they are preventing the tethering apps from being seen through their Market apps?
They may detect the extra usage though.

Why is it a problem? She using it too much? Take it away? Tmobile has restrictions you can implement online. Not sure if you can regulate downloads.

Shouldn't this have been asked in the Samsung forums? This forum is for G2X (P999) issues and discussions.

ok cool thank you so much

i couldn't find the Samsung forums not for that phone anywhere sorry

She'll still be able to side load apps bypassing the market if she just downloads the apk files. Think she won't figure that out? Lol don't fool yourself. Get her a feature phone if you don't want her installing and using apps. Use prepaid and then she can only use what you've paid for. Why give her a smart phone and then expect her not to play games on it? Seems a bit silly to me.

lol i know she can only get free games thats not the problem she just gets the phone full so much so cant even get a text and she is supposed to ask first she thinks its a toy up side is she uses it over the ds grandma that hates me gave her i just dont know what to do

App locker works wonders. On my kids phone. I block internet, market and all the stuff they don't need.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Giving a kid a smart phone is like giving them a bank card with unlimited access to your bank account. Take away the smart phone, give her a phone which has only the features you want her to use on a pre-pay pay-as-you go account and make sure that it is password locked to prevent unauthorized use if she leaves it lying around at school, etc., or loses it. If you want to give her something portable that plays games, get her a portable game machine which plays the games she wants to play. You can buy them cheaply second-hand with games included because a lot of people have them lying around after they bought smart phones which play games. As well, if she's such a game addict, is she doing her home work, interacting with others, etc., if not, she (and you) have a serious problem.

TinyWeb - Web Browser

Hey all!
So today I found this app which should let browse the web. The TinyWeb - which is the name - is nicely written and intuitive application with english menu and set of bookmarks from the beginning. Also it is a standalone app.

Seems awesome? Yes. BUT there is this little problem - it cannot access network for me. I tried using Gear S2 classic with connection to the phone (LTE) and without phone (Gear's WiFi). But it doesn't work.
Does it work for You?
I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE APP NOR ADVERTISING IT

You have to disable bluetooth connection with wifi connection on. Works fine once you do that.

It works for me, but only with a direct Wifi connection (not trough the phone).

Same here. Seems like this may be related to that of below. Maybe Gear Manager for generic Android (not samsung) is missing the bluetooth / host-wifi bridge as there is no setting for it on my Xperia.
stackoverflow.com/questions/33849806/tizen-standalone-wearable-app-with-internet-access

I get an error when trying to install.
W0:WO:-1005

Where do I find this? I don't see it in the play store.

@Firehead thanks for the tip! It does work now, cool
@mills23 it is in the Samsung's shop for Gear S2. Maybe not available for Your region or something.

I am using gear s2
And in it also tinyweb is not working on both Bluetooth and WiFi

Seems to only work with wifi on however I don't need to disable bluetooth but would be better if it did work via bluetooth hopefully in a future update. Also was a pain to log into Facebook, most of the time the keyboard popped up but then disappeared after like a second and the times it did stay up I'd type my email (which isn't a quick thing to do on the S2 keyboard) to find it didn't actually enter anything in the text box. Though finally did get myself logged in but then when I went to go on it later it didn't keep me logged in so still a few issues.
Also would like if when zoomed in I could pan right the way to the corners of the webpage.

It works on s2 gear 3g in 3g mode. I'm impressed with this app considering the limitations of the tiny circular screen.
Props to the dev!

I installed it on my gear and then someone try to login to my emails account and etc.. Maybe by brute force. I changed my password everywhere for sure. So be carefulle after instalation of this app.

Could someone made a video showing TinyWeb in action for other users please .

It works now with the BT version, connection, so no need to switch to wifi only.
Was able to read the news and go on facebook. No brute force so far.
TinyWeb is no longer in the app store, is it unsafe to use then?

Is there any place/way to get a copy of tinyweb?

T-Mobile data issue

sometimes I get awfully slow data, and when this happens the 4g icon tells me that it's uploading and downloading something both arrows are filled in. I also had this problem on my s5 anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?
I do not have anything thing backing up or syncing

Are you using the new sim card that came with the phone? Have you done a factory reset? Have you called Tmobile to report the issue? What have you done to troubleshoot the problem?

Happens to me everyday at work. But I attribute it to an overly saturated area. I work at Legacy and DNT where you have shops at Legacy, Ericson HQ, Yum Brands HQ, BofA HQ, JC Penney HQ, Frito Lay HQ, FedEx HQ.
And it's only going to get worse since Toyota HQ, Liberty Mutual HQ and Chase are building in the area.
Only happens on LTE though, I manually switch off LTE and go to 4G(HSPA+ only) and I get excellent signal and can actually use data which leads me to beleive again it's due to over staturation

it seems like its being caused because android os is using a gig of data everyday, its uploading stuff in the background

Turn off backup app data in your google account settings and make sure auto backup is off its under backup and restore or something like that in settings.

I promise you. Just turn off the things I said. Before and after screen shot. It fixes it. You can also download netguard from the play store and restrict background data for apps on an individual basis. Hope this helps.
