[Q] usb tether xp - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

cm-10-20121103-NIGHTLY for evita/HTCOneXL
Tether works without a hitch on linux (Ubuntu 12.10)
Can't seem to get it to work on XP.
Turned virus-protection and firewall off. Anyone have this working on XP and give me a tutorial?
Thnx

you wont get it working in xp. xp wasn't made for that you'll have to use something like pdanet or easytether or update to vista/7/8.

Wifi Tether to Ubuntu 9.10

Hey everyone, just finished installing Ubuntu to my dell mini 10v netbook. I really like it so far but I have hit a problem that may be a potential deal breaker. Has anyone running Ubuntu 9.10 been able to tether their phone to their computer?. It does not seem to connect to my phone running this app for me. It sees the SSID, and i tell it to connect, and then I just get that circle thing for a couple of minutes then it gives up and connects to my main router if its in range.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure if its Ubuntu or the app, it worked perfect with XP
I don't run Ubuntu on my netbook so it may be slightly different, but I have it working great on mine running Arch Linux. Wifi tether uses an Ad-Hoc mode where most routers/access points use Infrastructure mode. You may have to tell network-manager or whatever controls your wireless settings to use Ad-Hoc. If that doesn't work you could set it up manually through the command line or make a little script with those commands to do it so you don't have to type them in every time.
thanks for the reply. I did some searching and came across this page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html and i hooked my phone up to my windows computer, copied the info verbatim to my ubuntu netbook setting up a manual connection like that page suggested and it says it connects, but my phone doesnt show anything is connected and it wont go online
I am able to tether just fine via my Dell mini9 running Ubuntu 9.10. Are you able to connect to other networks?
yeah i can connect to my home fios router just fine
FoxRacR17 i was having the same issues with my dell 1501 laptop.. Looks like your laptop might be using the bcm43xx chip-set from broadcom which doesn't support ad-hoc fully native yet on all cards.

I was having issues trouble shooting WMWifiRouter and Ubuntu.
I couldn't pin down if it was Ubuntu or WMWifiRouter which was having the problem connecting.. I could see the Ad-Hoc network in Ubuntu when i would try to connect it would just hang. I played with all the settings in WMWifiRouter to no avail.
Turns out it was my wireless driver.

I had to revert back to Ndiswrapper.. But it worked!!! Those having Linux issues check the driver.. I didn't have a windows box with wireless to check.. So took me longer hopefully this might save you some time!

Try Ndiswrapper from the windows drivers on HP's site. Let us know the results..
I'm having this problem with an atheros 5G chipset
Thanks for the replies guys, i got it fixed. I saw people saying to try the netbook remix version of ubuntu so I went ahead and installed it. At first it wasnt detecting any hardware drivers so it wasnt even giving me the option to install drivers for my wireless this time. But i went into terminal (with my ethernet cord plugged in and netbook connected to the internet) and issued "sudo apt-get update" and it went thru and downloaded a bunch of stuff that took a while, and then i went back to restricted drivers and this time I had TWO options for my wireless card, one that was licensed propitiatory from broadcom themselves labeled "Broadcom STA wirless driver" and one that was licensed as free and labeled "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" I installed the STA one and now my netbook connects perfectly to my hero and i can go online again thru my phone. Hope this helps you guys out

[Q] HD2 as external display for pc

Is there a program with which I could use my HD2 as an external display for my laptop. I don't mean remote control software.
Try SideWindow.
I know I used something else with my old Artemis, something free but I can't find it anymore. I remember installing the driver on my Vista x64 and having a really small second monitor in my control panel, I think it was based on VNC but it did work through wifi without active-Sync
Tried to install it, but without any luck on windows7...
This is the soft I used:
ZoneOS ZoneScreen for Windows Mobile
I tried again with my HD2, and, yep it works against an XP (using the 32-bit display driver), but can't see to load the driver on my vista x64, even disable the digital certificates.
I managed to get a second display on my XP box with a rel of 800x480 using a wifi connections.
Have a look at their wedsite, maybe they have some new driver for Vista/Win7

Linux/Ubuntu USB tethering - how-to?

I've been trying to use the built-in USB tethering with Ubuntu 10.10 without any luck. On my previous Android phones (EVO, Nexus One), all I had to do was plug in the phone, select Internet Connection Mode or USB Tethering, and Ubuntu would automatically find a new connection (Auto usb0). That's it...no config needed.
The Thunderbolt has been another story. I can't get Ubuntu to see an internet connection for anything.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I'd really prefer to use the built-in tethering rather than go to something like EasyTether or PdaNet.
I'd still say easytether
All I have to do is type easytether connect and bam

Me too
I also have been trying desperately to make this work too, since it worked so well with my Eris and other phones. I think the problem lies in the proprietary HTC drivers - it seems that the driver built into LibUSB for cellular modems doesn't play nice with the HTC software. In Windows, there is an executable that installs the driver, and I have been thinking that I might be able to make it work using Ndiswrapper, but I have not had time to play around with it a whole lot.
I suspect that a release will come along eventually to update libUSB to work with the new HTC software, but in the mean time, EasyTether works great. I made a quicklaunch icon in gnome panel that links to the the EasyTether connection script - it will have to do until I can get native tethering to work.
If anyone else is working on this, I'd be willing to lend a hand with testing and troubleshooting.
Seems like I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.10 and my rooted HD2 running Android. I think it has got something to do with the RDNIS drivers or something ??? Easytether is no option because it works for like 5 minutes then I need to restart the connection to get it working again ( very annoying ). I would much rather prefer to use the inbuilt tethering option on my rooted phone than yet another pointless piece of software. Maybe another Linux distro that supports this way of tethering ???
Thanks !

Can´t connect mass storage on Windows XP SP3

Hi,
Recently I made an installation of the Infused ROM 2.2.3 and Infusion OC kernel on my device, but I can´t make any USB connection (mass storage) to work properly on Windows XP SP3 with Samsung Modem installed, and Samsung SGH-I997 drivers too, Kies installed and etc... when device connects and show the 2 external units, and when begin to copy files between PC and phone device disconnects automatically, and sometimes freezes the entire windows explorer... what I´m doing wrong?
This is both in Windows XP SP3 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, in mac, device simply doesn´t appears... notice that Kies on mac is on version 1.0... and in Windows is on 2.+...

Drivers are not necessary for USB mass storage mode.
Are XP and MacOS on the same dual-boot machine or are these different machines?
I know one of the ports on my Asus laptop is weird and constantly disconnects the phone - it's limited to just one port and the rest work fine. Maybe you have something similar.

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (x64) Bootcamp and WinXp (x86) installed, primary boot system is XP SP3, well... I´ll check usb ports, hope this helps to solve this...
in my office machine (HP Windows XP Pro x86) I have kies and drivers installed too, but this machine works so fine all the time, when I connect the phone, explorer displays the two units and it can copy/paste files between PC/phone without disconnecting, connection is stable...
... maybe I should get the Samsumg i-9000 drivers instead of SGH-i997 due to I´m on Infused 2.2.3??
What the hell is Windows XP?
Sounds like a driver conflict kies doesn't play well with win 7 64. I know from personal experience
Try uninstalling all drivers and kies then reinstall drivers only, I think xp has generic drivers for usb mass storage so if you just need that then connect it without installing driver's.
Also make sure your data cable is good. Try a new one. They are cheap on Amazon

Since it affects XP and MacOS on the same dual-boot machine but doesn't affect his work machine - I suspect it's a USB port problem.
Try this...
Were you able to go into mass storage mode prior to flashing the ROM?
If so, maybe your USB Ports are looking for something that to them isn't there...every time that you connect a usb device, your computer creates a record in the usbstor section of the registry. You can manually delete these by using regedit and heading to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR
Remember that making changes to your registry can have some undesired results, but this one is pretty safe.
Alternatively, you can go to this site http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and use USBDeview to disable any old keys or such.

maybe... I don´t know why but its on both systems on iMac machine, device attempts to connect and a milisecond after that, connection rejects and reconnects then reject a bout a three times like it was shortcircuit... like I was saying, in my HP (work machine) works like a charm, even in USB debugging mode, or not, so...

I will try it and see what will happens... what could it be?
a driver problem?
another thing that I forget to mention is that I installed drivers manually, actually I live in a block without any wi-fi network! and my Windows XP could not get drivers via Microsoft Update, so, I don't know if this is a factor too
