internet sharing for mytouch????

I recently changed from a tp2 to a mytouch..I wanted to know if there was an app that can do that when I connect it to the computer..any tips thanx

If I recall there were some tethering apps in the app store. Most probably require root.
Of course, if you're going to root the device, just go ahead and load Cyanogen's latest mod. It has tethering built in.

so in order to have the tethering app u would have to root it??

Dude, did you even bother to search the market? A quick search on the word "tether" returns multiple apps, some paid, some free, some require root, some don't. Take your pick.
I was just saying that if you DO go the root path and load an alternate ROM like Cyanogen's, tethering is built in.

Pdanet has an awesome tethering app. Theres also EasyTether which is 10 bucks but works great!

[Q] New to smartphones....need help

Im new to smartphones. I recently got a DroidX...now I'm hooked. But being new to the technology, I need some help. I don't want to pay Verizon any more money but could really use the 3G HotSpot for work. Ive done the research and want to root my phone...I hear z4root app is excellent!!! Its no longer available on the marketplace, so how do I download it from the web and get it onto my phone and functioning? Please all the info I can get will be usefull.

For the free hotspot, it depends on how u want it to run. (ad hoc or infrastructure mode). Infrastructure is the equivalent of a home wireless router. If you search google for "team black hat wireless hotspot hack" you should probably find what u are looking for.. This allows you to use the Verizon wireless hotspot app for free (disclaimer: this is theft and is technically stealing from verizon so I don't condone this. This is merely just info).
If u don't care about the original app, u can root the phone and search the market for wireless tether for root or barnacle tethering.
As for z4root, google the app, and then download it and use your computer to move it to your SD card. Then you can use a file explorer app (i use astro) to install the .apk file.

Thank you!!! My DroidX is now rooted! Thanks again for the help.

[Q] What are all the stock apps on the D2G?

I have a new, unlocked and rooted D2G. I didn't use the stock phone for very long before I installed the Fission Rom. I didn't pay close attention to what was on the phone to begin with. I wasn't thinking clearly; I thought that it would just stay behind and I would have the option to uninstall it once rooted.
I realize most of it is considered bloatware. But I swear I saw a couple things that interested me. I can't remember what they were, though. Does anyone have a screenshot of the app drawer of a stock D2G? Or just a list? It would be much appreciated.

I sent a PM with a list

Thank you. Looks like it was Swype and Skype I was after.
Skype I already have downloaded. Swype, I looked for in the market and couldn't find. How can I get it on my phone?
also, this 'mobile 3g hotspot' thing looks interesting. Currently I tether using USB but maybe that is pointless. Is there a way to get this, or a comparable free app?

To use tethering besides VZW stock app, you need root access (which you probably have already). There are various tethering apps available on the Market.
Swype Beta for Android is available on Swype web site.

Wifi Tether is the app I use
Verizon removed these from the market I believe.
Google search "wireless tether for android"
First link, go to the "downloads" tab and download a stable release
Copy to your sd card and launch the file to install.

lost my widgets
I used Titanium Backup to back up my apps to my SD card, and then tried to uninstall the blockbuster app on my Droid 2 Global. It seems like at the same time that the user downloaded apps' widgets stopped functioning, and the phone will no longer create new widgets for the apps that i have downloaded either. Any help?
At about the same time, I used ROM Manager to try to back up my stock ROM, it rebooted my phone both times that I tried it, I don't know if that would have something to do with the widgets? Any help would be much appreciated

Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"

Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.

Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?

Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.

I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?

I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps

Did anyone ever get this to work? Would be nice for the 500!

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

c spire blocking tethering apps

easytether, pdanet, wifi tether for root, native tethering
none of them work. they take you to a page asking you to pay $20 per 1GB.
anyone else having similar issue?
EDIT: after further testing, the block seems to be browser based. I was able to play RIFT via tether. My guess is they are blocking via user-agent string in browser (edit #2: confirmed!)?

confirmed
You're right. If you use a user agent switcher add-on/extension with Firefox or Chrome, it'll look like you're on a Android device or Iphone.

I am using FireFox and I downloaded Super User Agent from the addons! What it does is it shows up as a mobile browser instead of a PC browser! They are blocking all PC browser from using their service to tether! After downloading it you can select what you want it to show up as, like Android, iPhone, Opera Mobile and even FireFox! I am using the Firefox 10 option that they have not blocked yet! But I am really still using Firefox 12! Hope this helps you and please spread the word to other C Spire users having this problem!

But now, with the User Agent switch, I can't watch Netflix while tethered. Anyone got that one figured out?

It might be due to the 30 minute video pass per month that they just started.

Nah, the reason that I can't get Netflix to work like that is because the site thinks I'm using a phone and is asking me to add the android or iphone app.

Fixmo Extend
Hi I just signed up here to let you know so far the only tethering app that works that I know of is Fixmo Extend. CSpire has went down hill with this move

PDAnet has an option to hide tethering information and that seems to work for now.

I just installed FoxFi and the FoxFi addon which lets you enable a proxy server on port 8000. It works perfect.

Foxfi nolonger works are there any other apps
not a iphone =)

FoxFi works fine if you're not on jelly bean and you have not updated to the newest version (where they automatically downgraded their free version to a poor trial).

I'm on gingerbread and my version of foxfi won't start hotspot unless you upgrade.

You can also go into a browsers dev tools and change the user agent to Safari/Firefox 4 or lower/Internet Explorer 6/iOS/Android. Ive gotten this to work with the 4.1 native hot spot on my Galaxy S using Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 9. Also i think it was mentioned but a User agent switcher extention works fine. Right now i use Safari 5 as it gives me a desktop experience. Dev tools are also nice in case you are on another machine and cant download an extension to a browser.
