I used to be able to tether using my old ROM as well as the "un-official" new ROM versions prior to the recently released ROM update dated 4/09/07.
I use Missing Sync (ver 3.0.2) on OS X, and it would allow me to tether the 8525 using internet sharing set to USB. Now the only way I am able to tether is via the Bluetooth PAN, and even then the connection is spotty at best.
Did the official ROM change the way Internet Sharing works? This is very annoying and any assistance or ideas would be welcome.
I downgraded from the CUSTEL 2.5 WM6 ROM due to Missing sync's inability to sync with it as well as an inability to tether my Mac. Vista using Bootcamp works but Vista isn't my cup of tea...
Soon...
In a couple of weeks time you will have a solution to your problems with Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows Mobile. (Hint: it's not free.)
I am assuming that this would the much anticipated Missing sync update. If only I could shorten the wait... oh well.
Thanks.
Not really. Trade your 8525 for the iPhone!
bluetooth pan
something must be wrong with your phone because I use Bluetooth pan with internet sharing at work, in my car, at home and it works just fine. I even thought about ditching the Internet at home

I do it too. All the time. Is AWESOME from the car, especially in a a 3G area. (Parked, not driving.)
i can't even connect my 8525 to my mac via bluetooth. it worked once and now the phone won't open up the passcode screen to connect.
edit: my rom is version 1.34.502.3. should i update to a newer one?
I think its the location that I am at that may be to blame. I have a really slow connection via Bluetooth PAN. The same isn't true when using Vista and Internet sharing via USB - that connection is much faster (though it too blanks out at times).
As for connecting to OS X: simply start the Bluetooth setup assistant on the mac and search for "any device". Then select the phone and pair the two. At the very end of the process the Mac will list the services that are available via the phone. One of them will be the shared network.

yeah, it stalls after i select it from the device list. the screen where it gives me the passcode to connect it, it seems like my phone doesn't receive it. not sure. but you think i should upgrade the rom? looks like mine is kinda old.
I'm posting with OSX using my phone right now
delete the bluetooth pairing on the osx machine and on the phone
from osx bluetooth assistant and select any device
if it asks about using the phone as a headset disselect that
if the phone once pairs asks about a serial device do not select that
verify if bluetooth still is on on the phone
goto internet sharing
bluetooth pan
connect
make sure its actually connected to the internet
on the osx machine click the bluetooth icon again and select "join network on ___your phones name____ "
thats it!
sometimes give it a second
if it still doesn't work make sure you don't have some kind of crazy firewall setup

Hi,
Some weeks ago I tryed to use MissingSync for internet sharing with different WM6 versions without success. With official AKU3.3.1 version it works with the USB cable. But battery life is very short with this version.
Regards.
Yes, missing sync does not yet support WM6. Try the "normal" bluetooth pan method described above.
Anyone tried doing OS X tethering with newer versions of the WM6 roms?
I'm currently running vp3G 2.0 (WM6), rom date 5/15/07, radio 1.40.30.00, protocol ver. 32.73.7020.16H
Because I'm working offsite tomorrow, I was hoping to use my phone to tether my laptop to work with VPN on the laptop... and then I can login and out of the timeclock, etc. But trying it from work tonight before I leave, I can't get the bluetooth on my 8525 to connect to the PC.
Followed Neomuzic's instructions to the letter, but Safari isn't getting things working. Any assistance would be appreciated!!!
Nevermind... I'm a dork! Figured out where Internet Sharing was on the phone, and all is well. Having a little trouble connecting to my work proxy server... but messing with that now.

As of August2007, Missing Sync 4 supports WM6.

Hello all,
I usually dont post much since i rarely have anything to contribute, but this time I do. I am running a macbook connected to my cingular 8525 thru the bluetooth pan and have zero problems. I upgraded my rom to the new vp one with all the latest settings and love it. No more looking for a hotspot for me. I dont use safari broswer on my mac, i use firefox. Thanks to everyone on this forum with the knowledge and time for helping the rest of us.
What i do is connect my JasJam to xp running through parallels, start internet sharing and it installs the drivers(first time of connecting it) and then it works perfectly everytime. Only in xp though.
I have installed the latest missing sync but havent tried internet sharing on mac osx but now that u guys say it works thats awesome! Will mess with it later (knowing me i won't attempt to get it to work until i'm off in some foriegn area with no internet connection and will need to download drivers that i'll struggle to get through pie/opera on my jasjam...) i fail to plan ahead with things like this! lol

Tethering 8525 to MACBOOK. HELP.
I tried several different approaches to tether my 8525 to my MACBOOK, with no success.
I have specific scripts from the web installed into the modem scripts folder. No luck with any of them. I believe the scripts aren't the problem but the COM ports are the culprit.
I recieve an error message that says," Failed to open RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled in your device"
This is after pairing the 8525 to the MACBOOK and completing the blue tooth setting in the Network folder in the System Preference folder.
The pairing is successful because I can "send files" to the 8525 via blue tooth icon.
I read somewhere that the MACBOOK should allow me to set and choose COM ports but I haven't found the option.
My question is where do I find the COM port option in the MACBOOK because I believe that is where my problem is.
MACBOOK C2D, OS 10.4.10.
8525 ROM: 2.15.502.3

I just moved into this new place, just got the Cox Cable internet installed yesterday, picked up a new "Belkin N Wireless Router" model # F5D8233-4. Works fine with the laptop- I've had it setup using unsecured, WEP, & WPA/WPA2 Personal. No problems on the laptop. Inexpensive Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Basic.
However, the Wing will not cooperate at all. It only wants to connect to unsecured networks. It will connect to mine and others it detects in the appt complex. But as soon as any type of security is enabled it just tries to connect for a few seconds, then the network becomes unavailable. I'm soo tired of clicking around in the Wing with this stylus, I'm about to throw it out the window.
I've set up a static IP on the laptop so to better work with port forwarding & Azureus. Will this have an effect on what I'm trying to do? I can't see how it would, but I'm no expert.....
So here's what I've done. In the routers setup page, I've selected 64bit wep, typed in a passkey and hit generate. Wrote down the 4 keys it generated, saved the changes and exited the router setup. I think where I'm messing up is what I should be doing next with the Wing. Can anyone walk me through this?
About the only thing of note that I've done to the Wing as far as tweaking is concerned is to install Home Screen/Battery Status, overclocked to 260, and tweaked the registry to allow ring tones from the sd card.
HELP!!
maybe your wing uses the same ports as the ones you've forwarded to connect to your router. You should always make it really obscure (something like 65530-65534) to make sure that there are no conflicts between other apps and any port related protections your ISP may have implemented.
You are setting up your wing with the key, right? It might just be that the wing is incompatible with 64bit wep.
Let me clarify- the port forwarding was set up for the Azureus bit torrent client. Way obscure ports-in the 49,xxx-50,xxx range.
Yeah, setting up the wing with the key. The only choices are 64 and 128bit wep. And the WPA/PSK. Neither work. When the little window pops up asking for the net work key, I enter one of the ones I wrote down. The thing doesn't seem to be compatible with any type of security. Which kinda sucks....To use the wi-fi at home, I have to leave my router open to "signal thieves".
thats funny, actually.
I have my linksys wrt54g set to 64 bit 10 hex security and it works just fine. Maybe your problem has something to do with the wireless n part of your router? The wing is not compatible with draft-n. Does your router also broadcast with wireless-g or b?
It does...I just switched it over. Waiting for the Wing to reboot then I'll try again. Good thinking.
Ok, that didn't work either. The selections in the router are
1- Off
2- 802.11g,
3- 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n
4- 802.11n
It was on #3, I changed to #2 and no luck. Grrr...
Have a look on your wireless lan power settings, my Wing also had huge wifi problems all fixed when I changed the power to better performance.
I think I found a thread that mentioned that while researching this problem. Anyways, I've already made that change.
Which network adapter is the wi-fi one? Is it this- "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter"?
oh by the way just remembered something from my noob years.
make sure that your wing's adapter connects to "the internet" not "work"

lol, Already made sure of that. Thanks tho.
I've had the exact same issue with my MDA and originally with my Wing. It works fine now, I'm not sure why.
I just flashed to Open Touch 6.5. Still a no-go.
ok am new with this i got the tmobile wing and with the wifi i can use the internet right so that means that if i don't have a data plan i can still use the internet without getting charge for data can someone explained to me the wifi issued thanks i don't want to use the internet and later get a big bill cause i don't have data plan on my phone thanks...
so what's the wifi on the wing for???

The wifi is just like a laptop's wifi, it connects to a wireless router and since it's not going through the cell phone towers, it will not charge you.

OMG....I'm getting soooooooooooooo tired of dickin around with this thing. Now it won't connect to any network, secured or not.
I tried importing a certificate from IE on my laptop, because I got an error message on the wing saying the net work needed a personal certificate to identify me. Didn't work.
I tried a hard rest. Didn't work.
I've tried about 56,345 soft resets. Didn't work.
If there were any trees in the state of Kansas, I'd go bang my head on one of them. :

It works fine with my current ROM. (JustMe by... Me. lol)
I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM issue...I just flashed this thing late last night. It started not connecting to anything late afternoon yesterday, while the stock T-Mobile ROM was installed.
The stock ROM never worked properly for me...
Try another ROM.
I'm having an odd problem with my Sprint Mogul wi-fi. I can connect to the network at my office using wi-fi, but I can't use the Internet. I'm guessing it's because the wi-fi router is being used as just an access point, and a server is acting as the router for the entire office. I know it's not the wi-fi, as I can connect at home and use the internet without problems. I'm thinking it could be the ROM, because I didnt have this problem when using dcd's ROM (currently using Sprint ROM because I had to take it in for a new battery). This isn't a common problem, but is there a solution that allows me to stick with the Sprint ROM, or will I have to switch to dcd's ROM to get this to work? Thanks in advance.
I have two vogues, both have NFSFAN ROMs installed, but only one has data plan (the other one is just my backup phone), can the other once without data plan share the internet with the first one through bluetooth? For the one with data plan, I have successfully tethered my laptop through ICS over bluetooth, but I have no idea how to connect it from the other Vogue. The other Vogue could see Dial Up Network as the only bluetooth service (no PAN service visible) from the first one...
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
nobody seems to know the answer. Anyway, I used ActiveSyn over blue tooth to connect the other vogue to my computer, and it can connect to the Internet then.
I found somebody did the trick here, but I never got it working on the Vogue to connect the ICS service over bluetooth of the first vogue.
I know this has been discussed multiple times and we ended the discussion by suggesting to use Mobile AP (WiFi Tether).
However, I defer from the above workaround which works great for me as well due to:
1. Using WiFi Tether unnecessarily increases the phone and battery temperature and can reduce the phone's life
2. I still end up connecting the phone through USB to keep it charging while consuming a lot of energy while doing WiFi Tether. If that is so, I would rather switch off Mobile AP and WiFi on my Laptop and use USB tether instead. Consumes much less power and reduces the network latency and could be faster than Mobile AP
3. Froyo builds usually allow upto 5 WiFi clients to be connected to the phone sharing the 3G connection (which is much better in my location than any other broadband format including ADSL!). Using USB tether on one workstation (like my desktop) I could share it on upto 7 devices (including phone and my desktop)
4. As an ambitious campaigner, I may want to use WiFi on my phone for one purpose, probably for using DLNA and 3G to tether internet connection on a PC! This may not be possible if I use Mobile AP as it will use the WiFi radio.
If this feature is "OFFICIALLY" provided by Samsung on their "released" builds, why is it so unstable??? I would rather like to get this working rather than we looking for a workaround like using Mobile AP which is best used when really needed.
I would like to use this phone sometimes 24x7 downloading huge stuffs and it will waste the phone if I only rely on Mobile AP keeping the phone HOT all the time.
I have observed the following while doing USB Tether:
a) Problem exist on all test and released 2.x firmwares including the latest Froyo JPK.
b) Indications are same when using "PC Internet" option which creates a "hidden" network connection with the PC when USB connected with the phone and "USB Tethering" box under "Tethering" option in "Settings" Page.
c) While the phone shows that it is tethering normally, somehow the PC "FREEZES" the "TCP/IP" Stack as pinging its own IP FREEZES the ping command. All the network monitoring applications also freeze during this time. This is a very strange behavior I observed during the initial days of Windows 9x when you had to restart the TCP/IP stack.
Infact this issue looks very unique as even in Windows 9x, I never saw the Network apps freezing like this. Resetting the connection fixes the problem and it cycles the same way after that.
I have tested this behavior on 3 workstations:
A] My Official Laptop running Windows XP SP3 with all recent updates and Norton Internet Security Corporate Edition (firewall gives access to the network)
B] My Home Laptop running Windows 7 Professional with latest updates and Kaspersky Internet Security 201x (recently updated 2010 to 2011 - firewall gives access to the network)
C] My Home Desktop dual booting Windows 7 Ultimate AND XP SP3 with latest updates and Kaspersky Internet Security 201x (recently updated 2010 to 2011 - firewall gives access to the network)
All the above workstations have the same issue pointing the issue to be on the phone hardware or software or USB cable (tried 3 MicroUSB cables including the official provided by Samsung).
I have been troubleshooting this issue in the last 3 months, could not identify other issue than seeing the workstation freezing the network activities quite strangely as suggested above. Any help by my fellow SGS users, developers, moderators will be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your participation, lets team up and contact Samsung to resolve this issue if it bothers many people like me.
EDIT: I would try to keep this post updated with usable comments/suggestions/workaround as we discuss
Bump.. Appreciate your help.
Seems noone's using this feature which is VERY important to me. Can anyone help or should I contact Samsung to get this BUG fixed which exists on every firmware I have tried till date.
No tethering problems here. Maybe your device is just faulty?

Hi,
i've searched all the internet for resolution for that and nothing.
Weird thing is that connection was working good on 2.1 and also on 2.2 and then stopped working just like that (1-10 minutes of connection and then dc for like 5-30 seconds)
Tried almost all apps on market which didn't help me. Now i am trying PDAnet which is working well for about 40 minutes now. I had some troubles installing it but finally did it with USB drivers delivered with PC program of PDAnet. Wifi 5mb/s download speed and just slight ping increase but i am far away from AP so that's the problem i think.
However if someone know if it's system problem (running win7 prof. sp1) or any 3rd party software it will be nice to get working again on standard tethering provided on i9000 as it doesnt require any 3rd party software on PC to get it working.
If dc's again come i'll post info.

I'm assuming that all your PC drivers are uptodate? According to me, it's a PC issue more than a phone one (check your PC logs & Firewall logs)
I have turned everything off (firewall, antiviruses etc.) and no changes. PDAnet is working well and as i saw it's .800 version of the usb driver, but new KIES installs .2000 one. Had problems with .2000 as PDAnet says i don't have usb drivers installed Uninstalled KIES one and installed .800, then PDAnet installed well. However - this program was only one solution to work. I have to try normal tethering on XP and clean win7 on laptop soon as i get it on hands.
Bump for a still existant issue
Getting constant cutouts with USB tethering on Samung Galaxy S i9000T running Froyo 2.2.1 Darkys Rom 9.5
Wondering if maybe getting a Dock will fix it?
Problem here too.
I am having the very same problem too. USB tethering works fine (faster than Wireless tethering) in the first few minutes, then drops the connection, and usually I have to restart my phone.
The reason I would use USB is that for online gaming Wireless tethering is too laggy in some cases. I would really appreciate a solution here.
I am using JPU modem on Froyo 2.2.1 btw.
Nothing has been solved about this sissue?
My Phone warranty is going to expire in about a month now. I am not going to keep this phone unless Samsung resolves this issue! Seems most of us are unaware of this issue and suggest they don't have the problem
I have been using smartphones since the first one, and never faced such issue. Using USB tether reduces latency significantly and also do not need to use Wifi on both phone and my laptop.
Some of us feel its a PC issue. How come connecting it to 4 of my PCs at home have exactly the same issue? They also have different OS and Firewall/AV.
On top of that, all the GB based ROMs have strange battery discharging issue after full charge and is killing my battery unnecessarily:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134741
I have escalated these issues to Samsung yesterday. They are affecting me most as these are the primary use of this phone.
I don't have this problems, just give CM7 a try.

I haven't tested 2.3.4 images for USB tethering much, however what troubles me most is ANY GB ROM start draining battery after full charge which is currently bothering me most as its killing my battery and phone unnecessarily while randomly making my phone go dead anytime even when USB/charger connected all the time (after going dead, restarts in battery charging mode as USB connection gets refreshed)
On my (and i guess others) Rom i get a least 24 / 48 hours. But it really depends on what you do with it during the day. I have not experienced any batterydrain on my custom rom. Ever.....

I ALSO get the same usage time AFTER DISCONNECTING the charger and using the phone normally.
However, my phone is used primarily for WIFI Tether of 3G connection and hence has to be plugged through the day most of the time when doing tethering. After full charge, my battery drains heavily as the charger is disconnected on GB (instead of disconnecting the battery after full charge) and hence killing the life of my battery through such abuse.
still experiencing this
just an unstable connection
works then every 5/10 minutes it'll stop working and pages will take a while to load then it just starts working again
it's like bursts of connectivity
currently on 2.3.3
can anyone confirm 2.3.4 fixes it after being on 2.3.3?
I'm using a JVR ROM (2.3.4) and have the same problems with USB tethering.
It's rather annoying; i've searched around and it seems to be widespread, I'm not sure if it happens to everybody though.
This is what I've noticed:
- The USB tethering stops working usually at the same time that my Win 7 laptop says that the device could be using USB 2.0 instead for faster speed. At that point, the phone disables USB tethering
- Re-enabling USB tethering on the phone settings makes it work for a minute or so, until the same thing happens
- It does not matter if the phone is on USB debug on/off (i've tried both), or whether it is set to use Kies, Mass storage, or media player under the USB connection menu
I'm trying to find a different USB driver, just to try if it solves anything. But have not been able to find a proper one.
It would help if someone on a 2.3.4 Rom could confirm that USB tethering works for them. At least we could then know whether it is solvable (via configuration, settings, etc.) or not at all until Samsung releases a fix.
I'm having this issue with the Samsung Captivate I897 running Froyo 2.2 through At&T, rooted. I realize that its not the same device this thread's meant for but possibly a related issue? I've been trying to find a solution to this for a few months now... I randomly get disconnected from the internet while using the USB Tethering. I'm forced to re-connect through the phone every 20 minutes or so... I've tried using alternate applications to tether and to use the Mobile AP... With all the apps I run into the same unstable connection as well as with the Mobile AP. This is rather frustating and the last time I spoke with Samsung, I was informed that they no longer "support" usb tethering. I'm at a loss as to what to do, if anyone has any insight this would be greatly appreciated...hopeully even though this is a different device, there's a relation somehow??
Same issue here
I am on DLev's 4.2 Rom. KG3 Modem. I9000 Reoriented Kernel vG_2.1
I just flashed to this ROM and modem version after experiencing the same issues with Darky's XXJVR R3.2.(All stock as provided by the Dev.)
It seems intermittent at this point. I verified that the Mobile AP works great (as of last night). The USB tethering disconnects after a few minutes or seconds and the USB tethering option becomes "unchecked" on the phone itself. Windows 7 Complains about the speed of the USB port and I have swapped to a few different ones, but the same thing happens. Although I am typing this and it has been connected for 20 minutes or so with no issues.
I have also disabled any firewalls or Antivirus to make sure that wasn't the cause. Same issue. I am on Windows 7 x64 (SP1). I am starting to wonder if this a Windows Update that could have caused the issue.
Anyway, just to give more info to the subject.
Ok.. here is something I stumbled across that may have solved this. Appears to be a Windows 7 setting. I have a Captivate but I am running an i9000 Rom, so this might work and might not.
Open Control Panel-->System And Security-->Power Options-->Edit Plan Settings-->"Change Advanced Power Settings". Then navigate to the "USB Settings" and expand "USB selective suspend settings". If the value here is set to "Enabled", click on it and select "Disabled". Click "apply" and then Click "ok".
I pieced this together due to other people having issues with NIC drivers and Windows 7. They were able to get past it with settings on the card drivers under device manager and telling the driver not to do any power management on the card. The drivers for my device has no settings for this, so it is a possible workaround. I am waiting to see what happens. Can someone else give it a try as well?
