LG MyTouch Q

I know this is a brand new phone and this isn't the correct forum, but one doesn't exist for this specific model.
So I realize no customized roms, but I'm looking for a way to enable WiFi tethering.
My wife has this phone. I have the Galaxy S 4g (no CM for me sadly). My stock image allows Mobile WIFI tethering.
Hers Does also, but it brings me to a T-Mobile screen on the device tethered asking to pay $15/month for it, whereas with mine it just works.
Is there another application I can get for this to work?

Do a search in the market for wifi tethering; barnacle seems to run well (for all android phones).

A google or meta search engine search wouldn't hurt as well.
Off hand pda net should work as well. I bought the pro version for my g1 worked like a charm.

Don't those apps require root?

you can also change your user agent string on your computer to match the one on your phone. That is what I had to do, and then it will take you to some mobile versions of websites, but that is no big deal for most. At the bottom of most websites you can choose mobile or classic view.

Pda net does not require root.

It does require paying and a driver installed on each computer you're tethering to. It uses USB.

or you could just change your user agent string like I have said.

i helped my friend set hers up and i tried the quick fix by downloading quick settings in the market.... and then you can check the settings and unlock the hidden mobile tethering option. I wasnt able to get a solid connection at the time, but i didnt reboot the phone or toggle airplane. it showed up and my computer saw the connection, but no go. Im purchasing the phones in a few days and i will try to do the onetouch root, and i'll let you know how that goes

[Q] Use the G2x as a wifi usb adapter

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.

You mean like usb tether? Done

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.

Thanks a lot that App did the trick and I like the built in text feature on the PC client.

Q&A thread for ICS roms

Forum to discuss the different roms available for the Xoom since we have more than one now.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned was support for adhoc phone to tablet tethering. I'm using the Eos rom, is there something I can do to make it work or does tthis require drivers that are currently unavailable?
Thanks in advance!

looking for home icon on ics browser
Does anyone know if there is a homepage icon in the new ics browser. It's not in favorites where it used to be nor on the new browser menu.

The Honeycomb Tiamat build has ad-hoc support built in. It basically involves modifying the wpa_supplicant. I didn't test it on build 6 and haven't flashed build 8 yet so I am not sure if they have modified this yet. I am sure they will eventually if they have not yet.

Regarding Zone-ICS-12.19.11-v2.1 and exchange
Howdy,
Just flashed this after wiping Dalvoc an Cache, all apps still available, as expected no cam. or 3g/4g. Question is does anybody have exchange calendar available? Syncs to gmail calendar, exchange contacts and mail sync up, but exchange calendar doesn't show in lost of available calendars. Just wondering if it' a common thing and if there is a fix yet.
Otherwise I'm going to keep running it. Calendar isn't a deal breaker for me and once a cam and mobile data works this will totally kick butt. Thanks Mike for a super build.
Post 3=7 more to fo for the dev forums..... WooHoo

Will we see the camera and mic working soon?

I'm having the same issues. What apps are people using on the phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

My phone is a bit old (motorolla cliq), but I have tried with the wifi tether included with my rom/kernel by adlxmod and also with barnacle. Both of these worked with tiamat/morray I had previously on my Xoom. I really like the ICS builds by EOS, and if my tether would work I will never return to HC!

I guess they removed it because I don't have it either. Why they removed it?, no idea.

Tehering works with Wifi Tether
Now that Bluetooth works I can tether using wifi tether without the need for adhoc functionality. Very happy.

Notes Traveler
has somebody expeinrience with (lotus) notes traveler? Does it work with ics? I am thinking about giving ics a try
Thx for short feedback!

Does anyone know if the 1000 track playlist limit in Music/Honeycomb has been fixed? I know Gingerbread doesn't have the limitation, hoping they have fixed it in ICS.

Wireless Tether for Root Users

I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.

Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?

No I will check into that thank you

I use trev e mod. So far works flawless.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium

I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium

ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.

Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.

I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!

my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?

Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.

Need Help With Wifi Tethering

Hey guys, I am trying to tether wirelessly with my rooted Galaxy S3 on stock OTA Jellybean 4.1.2.
I've always used the Wifi Tether For Root Users app but it doesn't seem to be working with it.
Can anyone inform me of a fix or another app that works to tether wirelessly? Also, if you could include some of the apps settings to help me out... it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users, with a variety of settings and had no luck. Had to use a modified version from TrevE and it works fine now. There's a number of links for it out there and I'm not sure which is the best to point you to. You can find it via Google though

Thank you for this! I got it to work!
It still won't work when I enable wifi encryption to protect the connection for some odd reason, but works with access control enabled.
Again, thank you!
Sent from my XT912 using xda app-developers app

I never worry about needing encryption myself, so I haven't tried it. We pretty much only use it in the car, for example, so unless someone follows us around, they're not going to have much luck mooching free internet off of us. On the rare time I've turned it on in a public place, I did turn on access control.
