(Q) Why doesn't my Captivate pick up wireless signal from my old Fuse/Touch Pro when it is enbled for wireless access point?
Vice Versa. Captivate signals can't be access through my Nexus One. However, using Barnacle and modifying my laptop to mtu 1250, it connects. I like to play games on my Captivate. Use the phone as a Portable Game Player. But it will not connect to any of my devices. Any idea how to fix this issue? I don't want to pull out my sim card everytime i use the captivate.
The mobile hotspot on your fuse creates an ad-hoc network. Afik the galaxy can't see ad-hoc networks.

Even my old iphone 3g was able to find the signal. Is there a way that it can be recognized. i don't have wifi access at work so I use the fuse as my mobile access point. sometimes the phone get so hot using the 3g data. the antenna heats the chit out of the phone. i don't want to put through my new phone the same way but i want to use it. and i like to somehow use it using the 3g off of my fuse.

There is currently a command line hack to force the captivate to recognize an ad-hoc network, but from what I hear it's extremely buggy and there is no UI. It's going to be a while before it gets incorporated into the developers' to-do lists.
Haven't tried yet but how hot does n1 get when using as mobile hot spot. Haven't had the n1 too long so I am not sure. I really don't want to but might try it tomorrow.

I'm curious to use the Mobile AP but not sure if AT&T will charge me extra per month for it. Does anyone know if they do charge extra for using this option or the USB Tethering?
This past weekend I hooked my fuze to the captivate. Use pre8. Just heard that there is a pre9 out. Those guys have coded their a$$ off for us. Use it, works beautifully

And to connect it to the fuze signal, can't think of the cab, but it's a new comm manager that allows this. I'll look on my fuze for the name.
All the stuff is available here on xda.

as long as you don't go over your data usage cap you'll be ok. if your going to use it alot there is a tethering package think it is 60 bucks. i got lucky i am grandfathered in under the old iphone unlimited package so thanks at&t for all the free usage.
I was wondering if anyone has come up with a hack to tether android phones for free. Or maybe hacked androids mobile wifi app to be free
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
This has been around sense the beginning of Android.
Thanks, i hope it works for my inspire
When I saw the header for this I was hoping it would help me tether my next book via wifi to my cell phone ( a HTC TOUCH PRO 2) . Not this though, does anybody know what hack I can use to get my nextbook to recognize the wifi router from my cell phone?
I would use it if i could figure out how to root my phone

What am I missing?
I have a new Inspire / ATT (I am new to Android; previous was Tilt2 with WM6.5, heavily modified). Wifi hot spot came built in and I have used it to connect my notebook to the internet.
What I thought this was about was an Android equivalent to WMWIFI, which allowed one to do the hot spot thing but ATT could not detect the phone was tethered, I looked for that because I was grandfathered with ATT and would be able to have unlimited data for $30 a month. But I could not find this function for Android, so had to go with a tethered plan for $45 (all data inclusive) and limited to 4GB a month. If I could do the equivalent of tether without a tethered account, then I could stream video, etc, unlimited.
But this app looks to me to just be an implementation of the stock tethering. Or am I misunderstanding it?

Your misunderstood. This app is undetectable by carriers, in my case sprint, and allows tethering without paying per month for it. All you need is a data package and rooted.

I'm within my 30 days. I wonder if I can drop the extra $15 for tethering, and also go back to my grandfathered unlimited data. Thanks for the explanation.
Now I need to figure out the rooting process. My Tilt2 was heavily modified (using ROMs and phones by others), but the process was the same for all. Now it appears that every phone seems to have a different root process and I can't find it for the Inspire.
Another Question Though
Would this also allow me to download video, streaming it to the phone, without ATT knowing it, or is it just for hot spotting?

Streaming it to the phone? What do you mean? The WiFi tether does exactly what it says: WiFi tethering. So yea you can download videos and netflix with your computer.
I don't have an inspire but I believe if your connected via your WiFi router you can stream videos from your computer to your phone. I've never tried though.

Look on ur sdcard storage for your drivers They should be listed as "HTC DRIVERS"
Also make sure your HTC SYNC is up to date

The nexus s comes preloaded with tethering, this isnt limited by your carrier as the nexus s has no restrictions on this per agreement with tmobile or as an unlocked edition thru best buy,wife has a nexus s and no tethering package added on and it works fine, open up your setting and select wireless & networks then scroll down to tethering and portable hotspots
My laptop has had this issue before i got an android phone. I had wm phone. Im still trying to find out why.

IDK about a hack for recognition but I do use EasyTetherPro.apk on unrooted device and I have more than tripped my tether usage allotment ....Still going. It's got a setup for tablets too, though I've never tested anything besides USB tethering and the app is legit there ..so.....Maybe give that a try...Its 10$ ($9.99) but to bypass my 8gb limit =priceless
HTC Touch Pro 2 is Windows Mobile... and that post is 6 years old.
Anyone know if the Thunderbolt will be able to BT teather to a xoom?
I don't see why we wouldn't be able to, at least through the mobile hotspot. The xoom should treat that like any other wifi network.
As for a direct wireless tether, I don't know.
Yes, it wil work.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Are you thinking what I was thinking? Get a wifi-only xoom and use the phone's connection instead of buying a data plan? I dont see many scenarios where i will be with a tablet and not my cellphone.
I rooted my phone because I don't want to pay for wifi tethering.
I cant find a tethering app that my Xoom with recognize.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-G2X using XDA App
just use the default one that is on the stock rom I use it for my xoom
I prefer the WiFi Hotspot. Creates a wifi router in your pocket. Adds some freedom and you can connect multiple devices.
Hardwire tethering can be more reliable but not so much that is it worth the risk (plus it looks stupid).
Read that someone got the 15 dollar charge added for mobile ap, but has anyone been able to usb tether without issues? I'm on a custom Rom, but was looking at the built in tether support

May be useless for you, but tethering (through USB and WiFi) works just fine here in Russia. No additional charges, of course.
Well I'm glad to know it works on the sk, but I guess I was wondering more about how T-Mobile likes it. If anyone knows that, maybe they can let me know
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Hey there Shadowscott, i have been using the tethering and mobile access point feature of my sidekick for a long while and i can say that T-Mobile does not seem to have any issues with it. Keep in mind that i am using it on an unlimited data plan and it may act differently on a different plan.
I have always used Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether without any problems. It even works on the 200 MB data plan! :good:
Just use any root tether app, and you will be fine, unless you do it like my buddy that's on my account and use up 30gb. So far we just got a warning but i think he started using the stock app by accident.
I have a work-around for the native tethering app. But it requires apktools, smali editing.
Using KD1, and in the middle of a two-year stay in Greece, I'm able to connect with stock tether app and Greece's Cosmote phone service (even tethering to a Windows CE device).
Also, for anybody traveling with an unlocked Sidekick 4G, your US phone can get 3G in Europe. That's because the German TMobile uses both Band I and IV within its 2100 channel. TMobile's HTC Touch Pro2 also gets 3G, along with other higher-end TMobile phones.

Hey there!
I use USB tethering on my sidekick, and the problem is that they WANT you to pay the 15 dollars to pay for tethering. They can't just charge you for the service, that's illegal. At any rate, the way around this (sometimes t-mobile, for example, won't allow you to USB tether, and will cut off your tethering) is to use Google Chrome. You can download an add-on in their market-- search "User agent" and I currently use the "Ultimate User Agent Switcher, URL Sniffer", which is a red circle, with two arrows wrapping around each other. You then set your setting to Android 2.3, and now your laptop registers as your phone to your phone company. You will be 'mobile browsing' technically, you just have to make sure to click 'desktop' options when available on websites.
Note: This method is legal, as I was given it from a T-mobile representative, so please don't think this is some underhanded method for 'stealing'.
