I don't think so, but I am going to try and work with the developers to get it working. They helped do the same for the Captivate and Vibrant.

It opens and starts but I can't see the access point.

It's entirely possible that I'm posessed and having this effect on the phones, but Wireless Tether works for me on a Captivate and Epic with root only.

which version and where did you download? As an access point? Have you actually been able to connect and use internet?

remounted my system as r/w
downloaded SuperUser by ChainsDD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Menu >> check for newer SU >> yes install
Downloaded and installed this wifi-tether: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi..._tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk&can=2&q=Samsung+Galaxy
I also have busybox installed.
wifi tether shows up as an Adhoc, but not as an access point....

Download is good but upload seems like plain EVDO and not RevA.

Tried the latest from Wifi Tether and it seems to work but only in ad-hoc mode. And it is kind of slow..

VERY slow is more like it.

After trying the latest wifi-tether, it appears to have broken my wifi. I cannot connect to my wifi network, even though wifi is turned on. AHHHH
EDIT: OMG I think I actually seriously broke my wifi. I have root enabled using the 1-click method described in the other thread. I installed busy box w/ Titanium Backup, and the latest wifi tether. I pressed tether once to try it and then disabled it. Now my WIFI DOESNT WORKKKK. It sees my wifi but when I connect... it won't connect, it just shows it's available again.

Tuna put down ur epic better yet pm me when all the kinks are ironed out so i can buy an epic lol. Til then my tether works AWESOME on my Evo lol. J/k have fun

it seems to be an app removed by carriers from the Galaxy S line (not sure, looking for someone that has an idea if it would work or not?)

Wifi tether works fine with me with the pre08 version installed. I just used the base installer to install the apk...
1.38Mb download. plenty fast enough

[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.

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.

Internet Passthrough possible on CM9

Hi Guys,
So far i have seen only HTC has given the feature of sharing internet from a computer on cell phones using Internet Passthrough. And i now have installed CM9 and i love it by the way... but i am missing internet passthrough. I have read couple third party apps on the internet, but they didnt worked for me. Is it possible go get this feature from the Stock ROM and included in the CM9?

If you want to use your phone's data connection to get a computer online, why not use the portable WiFi hotspot feature?
Typed with SwiftKey 3 on my CyanogenMod 9.1 powered HTC Explorer using XDA Premium

well use the latest build #6 and use reverse tethering method it works.

I am also disappointed. Internet pass through not available without superuser permissions?

Wifi tether? (solved)

I'm having trouble using Wifi tether. When ever I try to connect I get an error that says "WTF!! Your phone is automatically shutting off the connection" lol it was pretty funny first time I saw it. The wifi tether signal still shows up on the devices I connect to but they don't register it. Is there any work around or fix? I used the roms codename and beam for this btw.

As far as having alot of enemies...lol I think I've got ya beat there....

I used WiFi tether on CM9 with no problem at all. My usual Internet connection was down, and I used tethering as a backup. It took a bit more time to connect to the phone than to the router, but it connected in under a minute and worked just fine.

Lol I was taught that there are 3 types of people in this world....
1-that are suck ups.
2-those who like being sucked up to.
3-those like me that can't stand either one.
Im not supposed to wifi tether my device according to my new no cap contract so if that's important to you make sure you are aware of that when it comes time to renew or upgrade

I wouldn't say you guys are hated and or have alot of enemies.
Your merely misunderstood,and it doesn't help when there are the few with forked tongues that twist and manipulate what you say.
I see you two have some valid issues most of the time,but its hard to make your points when you are dealing with a mass amount of people that aren't educated enough to see them.

Going back to gb solved the prob for me oh how i missed this battery life. (btw bh the best guide to go back to gb from ics is fbs old kd1 guide using odin. Super easy and takes just a few mins. It has been the difinitive unbrick guide for me too. In my opinion one click has a high learning curve! You should point people to the link on your one click post as an alternative)

yea but before that you need to set up command prompts and downloading a jig file program with it and some other stuff. with odin there's no need to use command prompts, you just download the tar pit and csc files and flash away. Practically unbrickable even if you take the usb during an odin transfer. I'm not saying one click doesn't work but I think it throws people off

You are confusing installing heimdall fully instead of using a one click. Only thing you need for a one click is java and to install the drivers. Nothing hard at all.

lol I think you're right..let me rephrase then. I view Odin just another option to root, flash, and unbrick your device. Why not include it as an option, I don't think it's obsolete just yet.

i see we r making headway here.
How much stuff do ya really need on your comp other than a simple one click odin program that will do what's needed without having to go look up another and so on just to get rooted stock....I've had issues with installing Java...my comp doesn't seem to like it or I don't seem to know what I'm doing with it....either way gremlin remover is one simple easy dl and 1 simple click that takes less than about 3 minutes to do whats needed

Not sure what to call this in the subject line but there are certain site this happens to, not going to name them for privacy issues but let's just say there not illegal or perverted sites by any means. Anywho I go to these sites and no matter what the browser or what the user agent after time the device blocks them from me gaining access. The only fix I've found is a complete wipe and factory reset. I've tried just about everything else I can think of... Wiped cache, dalvik, tried different browsers... I'm running stock 4.1.2 rooted. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You say after time does that mean you connect ok then some time later you lose access .
Is that via WiFi or Mobile Data .

I have that problem when connecting via wifi tether on my phone. I contacted my service provider and they say as my contract doesn't cover me for tethering it will be because I am trying to visit full Web pages instead mobile Web pages and so they limit my usage.

That makes sense in regard to the OP . Connect then connection closed .

Try installing Foxfi :
Create a WiFi Tether using Foxfi on your GN10
Connect a phone / a computer to your GN10 WiFi hotspot
Check connection, you should be properly connected to the Internet

Sorry,I didn't notice.that your GN10 is a wifi version.
I tell you this method because I used to have similar problem but my GN10 is 3G+wifi version.
And I use my GN10 as a Hotspot.
After flashing ARHD 5.1 and up version the wifi tethering messed up.
I can connect to the GN10 wifi tethering but it wouldn't allow me to connect to most website...except google sites (google,youtube,etc..)
The method I told you fix the problem.
So, may be you can try installing foxfi on the phone that you use as a hotspot.
