Hi there,
Unfortunately I dont have access to broadband at home atm...
Or any form of internet that isn't running through my HTC Sensation...
I'm wondering if I can use my HTC Sensation and the 3G connection and tether it via USB to my Xbox 360...
I only want to download some Skyrim patches, not game online or anything.
Has anyone here ever tried this?
cheers,
T-L-H
I think you need to tether your sensation to your PC then bridge the PC to the Xbox.
Not something I've done but I read about a while back.
Hope that helps.

Do you have a wireless xbox adapter? I've tethered my phone to my xbox via wi-fi before.

If you have a usb flash drive then use a program called modio. Here is a quick link on what someone is doing with that program. The theory is there you just need to work through it. I know that I have downloaded System updates to my pc and transferred them to the Xbox hdd. Modding and flashing my Xbox disk drive is my second hobby here is a video/2 videos that you should watch. HERE This was just a quick search and the guy is a dumb ass but again the theory is there. I know you said you don't have a pc. but if your work pc's let you install programs then you should be good to go. Here is another video to watch.HERE WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR which might be better for you.

I recently bought one of these but can't seem to get it working on my tv or laptop. I watched the official htc how-to video and it says to make sure the tv and phone are connected to same wifi. My questions include:
what is the purpose of both being on same wifi if I already have an mhl adapter and hdmi cable connecting my phone and tv?
how do I set this up? And for my laptop?
Do I need a newer tv to do this? My tv is 37" 1080p but doesn't have built-in wifi or anything like that.
I've also heard the term "mhl-capable tv"...how do I know if mine is capable?
Thanks for any help!

Try plugging your micro-usb cable into the side of the MHL cable. Then plug the AC adapter end into an outlet. You need to be charging your Sensation in order to use the HDMI out.

Ya I did that, and I get the hdmi out icon in my status bar and as soon as I plug it in, my tv detects the new signal but my phone doesn't see the tv cuz its not on same wifi. So my question is why is wifi necessary if its already connected via mhl and hdmi? And also how can I set up the wifi for the tv or do I need an even newer tv to do this?

I dont know why but the restart helped my phone last time I had this issue. Maybe it has to restart that service. Is your phone temp-rooted?

Oh alright, just try to reboot the phone and it should work. I was wondering if you were temp-rooted because that was when I had troubles with my mhl adapter.

Yeah that first part about being on the same WiFi doesn't even make sense. When I got my MHL adapter, I took it over to a friends house plugged it into his TV and it worked like a charm.
I did not have to reset my phone though, I don't know why that would make a difference or not but it can't hurt to try.
I have the mhl + hdmi cable, you don't need a WiFi connection. It just needs to be charging, connected thru the adapter's side, and connected to the TV with the hdmi cable.
BTW there is no WiFi in a place I use it often.

Anyone tried watching an xvid movie on your tv via the MHL adaptor?
If you have, is it working ok?
For me, the quality of the picture is very much depending on which player
I use. The best one that I have tried is "Dice player". But no matter what I do I can´t get any "flow" in the picture. It is always "choppy".
Any suggestions of how to solve it? If it can be solved...

Turns out im an idiot didnt realise it had a port to power it my bad
i currently use my phone as a hotspot to play xbox live, i may be getting a ps3, will it work as well? i am using the MIUI stock wireless tether currently. i use it for my laptop, asus transformer, wifes hp touchpad and the 360 already so i assume that the ps3 will not be a problem but just curious.
dont worry, no more than 1 device at a time on my phones tether..

As long as you set up the hotspot, your game consoles will connect (NDS, PS3, Xbox360, Computers, and PSP's), even other cellphones. It turns it into a wireless router for anything to connect too.
I WILL SAY THIS THO!!!! 3g connection SUCKS with hotspot if your gonna do online play. I played CoD with hotspot before i couldnt kill nothin due to lag. If you got 4g hotspot your golden.

Heh, good luck getting that on MIUI. No 4G support in China so no 4G support on MIUI.

true, MIUI does not have 4G, and did not know china didn't as well. but either way if he went to a different rom with 4g support and he could somehow get 4g somewhere he would be all set.
PS3 and hotspot
How did you guys manage to establish connection I have a rooted htc thunderbolt and would love to play online with it my bro uses his laptop and makes me lag so I had the idea of using the hotspot I use barnacle or open garden even easytether to my laptop then share with intel and I cant get connected help?
I connect with xbox (Master Thronnos) add it, with my phone and I have no lag with 3G or 4G... I live in the san antonio area... but I have MW3, halo reach and black ops for the wii. Anyone who wants to be shown the door... add it up

before i had wifi at home i used wireless tether 3.0 (i think it was) and experimental version of the app and had no problem playin MAG and metal gear solid online( except when recieving a phone call). N i live in VA where there is no 4g service in my area. Hope this helps
I was wondering If it was possible to use the g2x as a wifi adapter. What I would like to do is maybe have a App that allows you to connect to your home wifi and then share it to your PC through USB connection.

If only it was that simple. In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. But I'm not trying to share my 4g connection. I want to use it to share the internet from my "home wifi router" the wireless adapter in my PC went out and I don't really have the money to spend for a new one this close to x-mas.

I'll sell you a USB one I used to use with my TiVo for $10 (b/g I believe), just PM me.
Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.

tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.
try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client
Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

Hi,
I'm using my xoom in my car as a movieplayer for the kids. The xoom is mounted on a headrestmount.
Is there a way to control the xoom with my (android) phone ? I just need basic functions like select movie, play, stop etc. So basically a mediaplayer remote would be good enough. Thanks for your input !
How about a tablet remote?
Yes, and you need droidmote. You install droidmote server on xoom and then droidmote on your android phone. At the moment both devices have to be on the same wifi network but in trying to get the developers to consider adding a bluetooth connection like with tablet talk.

Does droidmote require your phone to be rooted or the Xoom to be rooted?

SO if they have to be on the same network, Cant you simply mobile hotspot your phone and connect the XOOM to it via WIFI and then their on the same network? Then the remote app should work.
No, you don't need to be rooted. And I hadn't thought of that to be honest. Tablet talk lets you use either local wifi or a direct bluetooth connection to communicate and this would probably be the easiest way of doing so.
Thank you for this recommendation. My zoom continues to be unresponsive when charging, so its great to be able to use a remote for is when I have it in the dock.
Does anyone know how to get an open NAT or get upnp with Android WIFI Tether or any other tethering??
I am using my Galaxy S3 to play on XBOX LIVE and it really sucks not having open NAT. Tons of problems. Can't play with friends, party's don't work, etc. This is now my primary internet and I get like 70-90MS even... but without this working I'm sort of out of luck =(
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, or anything I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't think you can open or close NAT on your phone.
I've had this problem with my router and I fixed it with port forwarding, but I don't believe you can forward ports on your phone.
As far as UPnP goes I don't think you can enable that as well.
Your best bet (probably) would be to plug a router into your phone somehow and then enabled UPnP and port forwarding on it through router settings.
Using a crossover cable I once got it to work. But since then I can't figure out why it won't. I used a crossover cable from my pc to my xbox and connected my pc wirelessly to the phone.
as described in this thread.

No, I literally mean plugging a cable from your phone directly into a router/modem and broadcasting a WiFi network.
So how do I get a CAT 5 from my phone to the router? =)
How did you plug your phone into your xbox?
Either through wireless tethering, or connect laptop to phone via wireless or usb cable, then run a crossover cable to x box and use Windows connection sharing. Once upon a time I actually got this to give me open nat, but it was several months ago and I can't figure it out

Not sure if that will actually work, but worth a try.
I don't see how that would fix the problem.

It would work like a wired tether I believe.
