Dcd rom and tethering issues - Mogul, XV6800 General

I am having problems with my Titan, I recently added tethering ability to my phone so that I can use the phone as a modem. I am running ROM 3.2.5 and Radio 3.39.10. Using the Internet Connection Sharing program on the phone, I establish a link to the pc, I then run the VZ access manager wizard to create their connection profile, but I can never see the phone, regardless of whether or not ICS is running on the the device. It also only searches on COM1. Any Ideas?
UPDATE, the ICS program takes care of the entire issue, I don't need the verizon app for access, Admins, please delete this post at will

Mac OS X tethering post Cingular 8525 ROM update (ROM version 2.15.502.3)

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.
I'm also using bluetooth pan right now to post
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.

can i use my touch 3g as a modem???

hi guys i just got t-mobile mytouch 3g & im wondering if i can use it as modem for my laptop.
if i can can u tell me how plz ,, step by step
Yes you can...
If I'm not mistaking there is an app available on the market called "Proxoid"
This should enable you to use your phone as a modem.
Hope this helps you out.
You can use Proxoid if you don't have root. As the name suggests, it sets up a proxy which you set in your web browser. You need to have the phone connected via cable for this to work. This uses either your wifi connection or carrier 3G connection as internet, whatever is enabled on the phone.
If you do have root, get a ROM someone on these forums has made with "netfilter and iptables" in the kernel, and you can use wireless tether. This way your laptop connects to your phone via wifi, and you use your carrier 3G as internet.
The app "aNetShare" in market lets you do this for free, as does android-wifi-tether project. You need netfilter/iptables for these apps to work. They won't work on a stock ROM, or on a "just rooted" ROM, they need a special kernel.
You can also pay for PDAnet for $29 or the "tether Wifi" market app for $8.95 which do the same thing.
(as an aside, don't start threads in development for questions like this, people get angry at you and your thread will get either moved, deleted or forgotten about anyway)

SERIOUSLY, yes or no, can the Hero tether?

so several seaches later and I am in a deeper hole than when I began. I've had the Mogul for a couple years now and it's time to upgrade, but I haven't really kept up on my mobile game and now am considering the Hero, but I can't get a definitive answer to whether tethering is available.
Sprint's sales dept. told me 1. I can't tether with my current plan. 2. no Sprint phone can tether...."can I be transferred to technical dept. please." So his response was YES, the HTC Hero might be able to tether, but NO, no Sprint plan covers tethering.
wow.
so here I am, asking you guys, can I:
1. tether with a Hero?
2. is it covered by an unlimited data plan?
In a nut shell, if you want to tether, you'll have to do some modifications to the hero to get it done, or pay for the app that gets the job done.
As far as tethering plans, yeah we're phasing out the tethering plans. The idea behind that is to move people into buying aircards and what not.
So lets recap; technically yes it can tether, but sprint is phasing out phone as modem.
Does that help?
Yes you can tether. You just need to root your hero which you can do easily using the fresh ore kitchen look in the stickys posted for roms. Also the fresh modaco ttg or gbhil rim they all have wireless tether built in
Seriously, yes, seriously.
Well of course Sprint will tell you you can't. But you can... either wirelessly or wired
Several searches later?
Hell, like 6 threads below this is a 3 page long thread full of ppeople saying ways you can tether.
The Hero for Sprint supports tethering out of the box, kinda. Install HTC Sync from the memory card, this comes with the tether drivers you need. If you go to sprint.com/download you will see that, "HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well." Install HTC Sync, after install with phone plugged into USB via computer, go to Menu>Settings>Wireless Controls, all the way down to the bottom is a new box to check, Mobile network sharing. Check it. This will create a new device on your computer, which you probably will get an error with install due to lack of drivers. Go to Device Manager, it's something called Android Phone I believe, install new drivers, pick location for drivers, in the folder HTC Sync there is another folder called HTC Drivers. Guess what's there? You got it. From then on, all you have to do is plug in your phone via USB and check mobile network sharing.

Just for ****s and giggles I put tether in the search box for this forum. It spit back 82 different threads. And that was only one search, not several...maybe I'm just special.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Isn't tethering a game you play with a ball?

If this works for you, I'm pretty sure you're the only one (with the exception of those using the "Race" condition to enable it)
Sprint disabled tethering this way.
There are three ways in which a user can accomplish tethering, none of which are officially supported by sprint.
1. Wired - Do as you described and use the "race" workaround. This requires you to disable the mobile network, then reenable both mobile network and mobile network sharing fast enough to trick the system... Requires absolutely no modification from the stock form, just patience because it often/usually requires multiple tries to get it to work.
2. PDANet - Download the App and go for it. A good wired solution, but comes with a 1 time cost of $30 to buy the App.
3. Wireless tether for Root Users - requires rooting and only works via wifi, turning your phone into an ad-hoc wireless connection. This is the most common solution, but some people have issues due to it being an ad-hoc connection, and many companies block connections to ad-hoc networks.. So if you have a company issued laptop, it might not work for you.. Also not recommended if you don't have a way to plug your phone into an AC outlet, as it absolutely destroys your battery life.
Anyone disagree with this rundown? I think I covered the bases.

CM Internet Sharing (Mobile Hot Spot) not visible

I use CM_InternetSharing app on my WM mobile phone to create a hot spot. The software works great and all my Windows pc's & my brothers iPad find my cell phone and gain a internet connect but the Elocity A7 does not connect. The Elocity A7 does connect to my home network but it does not find the mobile hot spot.
Note: WiFi Analyzer finds my WM phone but I can't connect - So I guess it has to do something with the WEP encryption between WM & Andriod in obtaining a IP.
My elocity is on build 0127.
Any ideas?
I have to install the adhoc-fix.zip by dexter on to see my hotspot I have a hotspot on my virgin mobile phone . do a search here on the forum for adhoc-fix.zip and it will give you the link. You rename it to update.zip and install like the mods on the a7 but you do not have to clear stuff.

I found the adhoc-fix.zip. Did you apply this using recovery? Ie. rename to update.zip.
I also seen that someone mention to execute a chmod on a file. Do you know how to get keyboard in command prompt mode?

I run the barnicle legacy on my phone to make my hot spot. I have a virgin mobile samsung intercept.
I believe barnicle is for Andriod -- so you are communicating Andriod to Android. My phone is Windows Mobile running XDA CM Internet Sharing. My A7 will not connect to my phone while other PCs (windows) in my home can connect to my phone.
Im in the same boat and I cant get the darn thing to connect when to the XDA-wifi-sharing (adhoc) network on my wm touch pro 2. I wish someone could solve this. I used to be able to dual boot my phone into android 2.2 (rooted) system and set up the hot spot on that and it would connect but that doesnt even work now for A7. I wish someone who really knows this stuff would give it some attention. Ive looked everywhere I find a search query. This is especially annoying since I cant switch to a different phone for at least another six months and I use the phone to get remote access to the internet for all my hardware.
I've got a work around if you are up to it. I starting thinking about a previous user using barnicle. So I ported Andriod to my WM6.5 TP2 CMDA http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads. I launched Andriod from my WM and went to Android Market place and downloaded barnicle. Lauched barnicle and connected my A7. It works. I just have to remember to boot into Andriod when I want to tether.

Glad to see you keeping this alive. I did the same thing except the android rom i installed on tp2 had a wifi hotspot feature built into the wireless settings. Its a pain going back and forth though and i find wm is way more stable. I saw someone mention wifi encryption ane cmod on a file. I dont know much about these and how to fiddle with it but im gonna keep searchin.

Ninetoes49 was nice enough to povide a link to the adhoc-fix.zip file at the following site:

After installing,, my A7 saw the barnicle SSID. I haven't used WPA yet but at least the wifi link is working.
I have windows mobile phone and barnicle is for android. From reading alot, i guess froyo (android 2.2) has problems with WEP connections. The tethering program i use on windows mobile, xda wifi-sharing, uses wep encryption only. Im wondering if something can be changed within the code to make it open like it is in android tethering program which works fine. I would keep using android on windows mobile phone except has no bluetooth functionality and its freezes up a lot. By the way, ive noticed problems with the a7 dropped from home wep networks ive been on too.

I wish I could help more but I am not familiar with Windows Mobile products.
I have been wondering if I should even fool with encryption on my mobile setup. I figure no one can jump on if its not running. I only use it occassionaly. Is it possible that enough people in a given area could "clog" the connection if I don't limit access with encryption?
wep
I'm assuming you have a key assigned in the WEP setup. Basically WEP is not secure since there are tools readily available to crack the key you use in less than 10min. If you don't broadcast the ssid that would make it more difficult since most people would not see the network readily. You would have to try that to see if you can access with an ssid that is not being broadcast. Some systems have a problem connecting to wireless networks that aren't broadcasting the ssid.
I am connecting to my home net using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. I have not connected to a tethering capability.

I have a TP2 (Sprint) and had the same issues as you do. I was using the XDA wifi sharing app but have found an older version of wmwifirouter that works and doesn't require a wep.
There is one caveat though. Using the app has broke my internet sharing one time causing me to have to clear storage. So, if you check the net for wmwifirouter 0.91 and use that, you should be able to connect after the adhoc fix is flashed on your a7.

[Q] Cannot Activate The Wifi Hotspot

Hi,
Redmi Note 4G (HM NOTE 1LTE)
Android 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI 5.3.27 (latest weekly).
The phone succeeds connecting to the internet through the mobile network.
When setting a hotspot in the phone, I succeed to connect to the phone from my laptop, but there is no internet access in my laptop.
The strange thing is, that if I'm connecting the laptop to the phone through the USB cable, and turn tathering in the phone through USB, and connect to the phone to the WIFI network, the laptop succeeds to access the internet through the phone.
Once I set the phone to go to the internet through the mobile network, the laptop loses the access to the internet.
Thanks,
Ofir.
What OS do you use in the laptop? There are some old and well known issues with WiFi tethering and Windows (these can be solved). If you use Windows, I'm pretty sure that your phone is OK.

Windows 7. But I'm sure it is not the laptop, as I do succeed to use a hotspot with the same SIM when used from iPhone...
Also, as written, the hotspot is working when connected over USB and the phone connects over WIFI.
The issue I'm talking about exists specifically between Windows 7 and Android devices only. I faced that with some phones I had. Just google "wifi tethering android windows 7 not working" to find that there are many people with this problem (like this).
Just to be sure you could try to connect with another laptop running another system (I never had a problem with Linux - Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora/Gentoo). If you don't have one, you can download and burn a live CD.
Most suggestions are installing third party apps, you can try some free apps on Play Store which perhaps enable tethering in some more compatible way. I solved my issues with an init.d script but don't remember what it exactly did (changed some sysctl values every boot).
Or you could change ROM and see if problem is solved. Try Mokee, or MIUI v6.

Thanks!!!
What has solved it was installing a tathering rooted app. It seems that in this phone, even if my service provider allows me to use a hot spot, and although the phone interface allows me to activate the hot spot, I still had to root the machine and install such app to really enable it.
