How to enable internet sharing (tethering) with stock ROM? - XPERIA X1 General

Hi,
As title said. I want to share internet using my X1 with a stock ROM. I tried dutty's inernet sharing app but it did not work. Is there any working app to share internet with PC using a stock ROM(like UK STOCK R3 ROM)
And yes i have searched all over but most solutions i have found works only on selected phones, not X1.
Thanks.

Go to the start menu-->Programs-->Internet Sharing
If you need help, there is a help menu in the start menu.

There is no Internet sharing application with the UK stock ROM at least.

I have a stock UK ROM and Internet Sharing is listed under Internet (not sure if this was a folder created by me in the dawn of Xperia ownership, but the program was definitely installed when I got it.
I personally use WMWifiRouter, I'm guessing you're wanting to share a fixed Internet point from your laptop, rather than sharing your 3G access?

I want to access the internet from my laptop using my phone internet connection. I'm using the R3A stock ROM, definitely there is no internet sharing utility in this ROM...

I have a stock generic UK rom and definitely the internet sharing is found under start-programs and works both with the cable and with bluetooth with my toshiba laptop

Yes, Internet Sharing is definitely included in the generic ROMs, but perhaps your network operator didn't include it in its specific ROM.
Maybe it's just the program icon (and not the application itself) that was removed; in this case there should be an applacation named "IntShrUI" in your \Windows directory that you can run using File Explorer.

GSM Bandswitch

For all of us brave or insane souls who have migrated to the PPC2003
beta, is it possible to post somewhere the Special Edition ROM 1.1
Bandswitch tool that is on that ROM?
I tried copying it before updating, but was unable to, since it's in ROM.
Thank you kindly
It doesn't run for some reason. Which leads me to believe there is a reason the Wireless Modem isn't in there either...
u can just copy the bandswitch.exe from u xda to ur pc via active stink. however as XDA developer Peter Poelman it doesn't even work. image doesn't have wireless modem either and i haven't tested if the one in se rom will work or not.

It appears that Windows CE 4.2 has some new odd quirks in it... I am not saying that this the reason Bandswitch won't run, though.
I've been trying to understand the Windows side of the new OS. New, ways to deal with (old) stuff: the \Windows\Profiles folder, the .\WWW\ some Today plugin inconsistencies...
Mmm...
Lots of new stuff to discover
vagelis,
you are right...its a bit of a new (wierd - good) beast....things are different...gprs behaviour...allsorts...

wmodem.cab

can someone with a xda2 using the extended rom builder extract and post a wmodem.cab from an english version ?
thanks
Hi!
I have just download it from a brand new I-mate with WM2003PE. My friend bought it. I have no time to try it with the I-mate.
With my Wallaby, I cant use it. If you can, please tell me a detailed setup! I try it with USb and with IrDA. My PC does not recognise the PDA as an USB or IrDA modem.
Hey Ya
Anyone got the O2 Xda II version of this CAB file please?
The file that I attached is from a Himalaya!
Does anyone have a .cab for Wmodem, that will work on an HTC TP2 (Rhodium T7380)?
I realize it's an old thread, and an OLD phone...
I'm trying to do a workaround, and connect to a pfSense box, which is a firewall and router. Mine is on a tower/pc x86, not on a plastic embedded router.
I've been pointed at this forum thread, not hyperlinked/broken, to allow me to post:
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780339
I've been using WMWifiRouter, have the .cab and the free license code .cab, which is now free to all.
However, per the thread above, and a poster on pfSense.org, I may need to try a client side (desktop) dialer.
It would be much easier, I suppose, to flash Timberwolf671's cooked rom. And, if bluetooth, camera or other hardware issues were never worked out, dual boot Android, via Haret...

T-Mobile UK GPRS/MMS Setting

Sorry Mods, I did a search for a already start string, but could not find one that meets the needs!!! Maybe there should be a part just for settings!!!
Ok well i got it working so.... If any people that are T-Mobile UK you can try my cab file!!!
It will setup your GPRS and MMS
ftp://xda:[email protected]
Unlike the last cab file i made, this one is tested and works great for me!
Feed back would be nice!!!
Thanks - worked a treat!!!
I've been searching everywhere for the correct settings since upgrading my Hermes ROM and your .cab was the only one that worked!
Will this cab file work for fresh mobile, which uses t-mobile???

Hmm, not sure, have installed them both but can't find any info about them in the connection settings. Do I need to install the arcsoft mms for it to work?

Sorry the FTP has ben tidyed up abit and the file is not there any more!!! But if you look you will find the files in there!!!
Not sure if the cabs were responsible, but after installing them for fresh I couldn't receive any calls, and after installing them I can receive calls. Don't seem to work for fresh mobile.
I just installed the faria rom and it seems great but now i cant connect to internet via GPRS not can I get MMS to work.. have clicked the .cab link in this post but that doesnt seem to work either. Can anyone advise where the cab file is..?
Also I dont appear to be able to connect to the FTP server.....??
T Mobile UK
Thanks
I ripped the settings from the T-mobile UK website and these work fine for me with this latest Faria ROM and the 02.25.11 Radio ROM.
This radio rom seems to give me better battery life, and I don't have the missed calls issue that the later radio roms can cause.
Hope these help.
Ah - you mention a radio rom.. does that mean that I need to use 2 rom files - not just the faria one..? I have looked at the ftp site and there appear to be rom files and extended rom files - whats the differece?

If you have followed all the downgrade/unlock/upgrade_to_current_provider_ROM/upgrade_to_Faria_ROM sequence you should have a radio ROM of at least 2.xx. This should work fine with Faria's ROM. If you need/want to change your Radio ROM have a look here for a selection.
My own feelings are that the 2.47 radio roms have excellent signal strength but at the expense of decreased battery life, also there have been reports of missed calls with this ROM.
Thanks for that! I also see that you are t mobile uk - does the auto config from farias rom work for you - can you send mms and log onto the web via gprs or have you had to load different settings?

The autoconfig within Farias excellent ROM did not work for me. I have had to re input the settings after every ROM change, so I can nearly remember the settings off by heart The settings in the text file, a couple of posts back) have worked on every ROM for me. (FlexT with Web&Walk)
Yes I have no problem with MMS, Web over GPRS and Windows Live Messenger.

Up To Date NOT working with Win 6.5 ?!

Dear Friends,
Greetings. I Just flashed win 6.5 on my xperia, all working good except that Uptodate, medical software that depends on IE, does'nt work anymore.
Any fixes or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Does uptodate access an internet site, or is it installed on your sd card?
If the former, try different versions of IE or a different browser like opera or mach5. Mach5 renders pages very faithfully, and an option could be to log onto the desktop www.uptodate.com and just use that instead of the mobile version.
It is installed on the SD card, and the program uses IE by default.
thanks for your quick response.
A/P:
Uptodate may be searching for a specific IE executable file or version
- Did your WM 6.5 come with an updated IE version? If so, try to downgrade to an older version of IE.
- Are you sure you can't choose the default browser that uptodate uses?
- If all else fails, you can temporarily just log on to the uptodate site if you have a username and a fast connection
Hope you find a solution!
I quit my Up to Date subscrption this year,
but I remember being able to log on to uptodate.com with Opera
I never even loaded the CD on my desktop PC: I always used the online version
I am using Itje's Touch It 6.5/ Manila. I don't know what version of IE I need to downgrade to?? I also cancelled my uptodate 2 months ago so i can't access online again.
Anyway thank you all for your response!!
Hm..
When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean?
I tried installing Uptodate on my Xperia flashed to both 6.5 and 6.1 and it worked fine apart from all the actual content screens being blank . What ROM were you using before when it worked?
Cheers,
Up To Date was working all along, my last Rom was Smaberg Touch X, this is my first Win 6.5 rom with itje and is the best by far.
i will buy epocrates essential instead.
Cheers.

[FIX] Wifi Tether on Eclair now WORKS!

Don't think anyone has posted this yet, but we got now wireless tether on Eclair!
I can confirm that this is working (MCR 3.1), and you need of course root to tether
Instead of part 1 and 2, just download the fw_bcm4329.bin from this link (credits to seaders). You don't need to do part 5 since the file has already been renamed.
http://www.multiupload.com/XVP8WH5MZU
EDIT: For those who didn't manage to find the latest wifi tether, http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
"
You guys might have noticed that we had exactly the same issue on the htc evo 4g. And
... yeah, we found a workaround for it ( issue 362 ).
It seems that the wifi-firmware is responsible for this weird behavior. This
workaround did the trick:
See: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c59
So what you guys could try now:
1) Download a HTC Evo 4g system-dump (use google search - I bet you will find one)
2) Extract a file named fw_bcm4329_ap.bin (located in /system/etc/firmware)
3) Mount your sdcard
4) Create a directory named "android.tether" (without quotes)
5) Open this directory and copy fw_bcm4329_ap.bin into it.
6) Rename fw_bcm4329_ap.bin to fw_bcm4329.bin
7) Uninstall old versions of "wireless tether"
8) Install the latest 2.0.2-pre release.
If you open "Show log" you should see a log-entry (first one) similar to this
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c59 here
"
Credits to the developers of the app, and seaders for uploading the fw_bcm4329.bin
The orginal thread/issue: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=330
great Wifi Tether runs well on Desire
confirming, with custom FW for wifi and version pre 14 of Wifi Tehther i shared my inet from HTC Desire to the N95
Works perfect! nice one! thanks
Works great here too. MCR 3.1.
Thanks.
Works on the DeFrost 0.6 rom Thanks
Fantastic... works a treat!!!
Hallelujah, been waiting for an easy, hassle free way to tether. Amazing!
works for me too, does ad-hoc only support 11mbit or is it working in 802.11b mode for some reason? No biggie with the bandwidth avaliable via 3g but curious all the same.
Great work getting this working, have a fallback if the mifi battery dies or I don't have signal now
works thanks on rooted 121 rom
Works beautifully, kudos to you!
