I completely new to this cellphone I had an Omnia i910 before upgrading to this phone.. So the only question that I have is.
Is there any app to transfer the internet from my phone to my laptop.. Something like Internet Sharing in windows mobile????
I would appreciate any comments.

refer to the wiki here scroll about three quarters of the way down until you see "Tethering out of the box" follow those instructions and you will have free tethering. there is pdanet but the free version has some restrictions.

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.
SERIOUSLY ppl should hit the search and stop wasting ppls time
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.

Reverse USB tethering on motorola atrix on windows XP

Hey guys just curious if there is a solution to reverse tether via usb on the motorola atrix. I've searched every post imaginable but nothing works for the Atrix. Come on XDA turn water in wine for me
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I was wondering how to tether via usb normally, I can't seem to find an option anywhere on my AT&T branded Atrix
It should be in your list of apps... there should just be an app called "Tethering" to preform your task. It's super simple to use as well just click of the "USB Tethering" option and your done but for further detail on tethering try just going in google and typing USB tethering on windows XP.
Sorry I would post a link to a good site but I'm a newbie and I need to do 8 posts before I can post links to external websites.
If you don't have the APP let me know and I'll find a way to get it to you.
But someone please help me out with my problem...
Thanks,
Ghettosean
ahh I see, unfortunately I don't have it and I assume it's because I'm running gingerblur without bloatware.. Would be great if you could somehow get it too me and in relation to your problem I don't think it would be easily possible unless you used wireless. Ad-hoc network with internet connection sharing.

What? did I get ripped off? I haven't seen an app for tether that came with my phone. If that is true, then all the time the DEV's put into hacking to get it working was for not? use the search and look for tethering. the answer is close to what you said, but does not involve an "app". It is a setting within the wireless network settings, but selecting it alone does not get you tethering.
Ahh I have seen wireless tethering (but use barnacle instead) I was curious about USB tethering though

If any newbies want this app just email me and I will send it as for the people clogging my post I will send it by the end of the day... I just want help with my problem now and I know it wont be easy unless its wifi but it can be done with other phones on xp... im going to try and get it working effortlessly in linux this weekend... help xda!!!

Maybe I am not understanding what your question. tethering is usually referring to being able to use the phone as an access point so you can surf the web from your computer using the phone as a "modem". what are you wanting to do with reverse tethering? If you are wanting to do what i described, go into the development threads and look for ARoot or gladroot. also I think most of the roms have this built in now also.
pdanet allows tethering through usb

By reverse tethering I mean the opposite of what you have described and that is to use the internet provided on the computer onto your phone. This can be done and I will do it with red hat linux I'm positive that I can get this to work but to get this to work on windows XP is a different challenge with the Atrix in particular.
If anyone has any information please help a brother out!

I don't know about USB tethering, but if your computer has a wireless adapter you could use it to create an ad hoc network to which your phone could connect. You could then use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows to bridge your internet connection to your wireless one. That way your Atrix could use your computer's interntet connection wirelessly!

True but as far as reverse usb tether. I don't know about android but with winmo just by having the phone synced would allow for this. Have you tried the medi sync or any of the other option when you connect via usb to see if they allow for this?

if what you want is to find workaround of WiFi problems on unlocked Atrix, you'd better look for AT&T SIM (even nonworking, just to report the phone it's operator ID - there are lot at eBay). Currently this is the best solution. Also, member crnkoj is developing the solution HERE, but it is very complicated for now.
Old trusted WinMo born when WiFi on phone was just a miracle, so it was able to get internet through USB, but Android never dreamed there is an AT&T whith its stupid intervention in phone firmware.
Thanks for all the replies... I've found a solution and I can actually reverse tether over USB two different ways and I will share my findings in a week... I have one last snag. Full internet access but I can't download apps from the market even though I took down my firewall on windows... Give me one more week but if anyone has a solution to that new problem that doesn't include opening port 5228 let me know. Cheers!!!

Solution
Hey all... I'm still having no luck downloading from the market or using other internet apps but browsing on the web seems to be fine with reverse usb tethering. here's what I have done:
1. I connect to my laptop via usb and I start up regular usb tethering (as if I'm going to give internet to my computer from my phone)
2. When I complete step 1 on the windows computer I see a new network icon pop up representing my atrix as an RNDIS networking device
3. From here in windows I right click on the internet connection that is providing the internet to the laptop or computer and select properties from here I click on the advanced tab and check the box that allows "internet connection sharing" there is also a dropdown to pick which networking device you want to share with I select the networking device that represents the atrix and click ok.
4. From here I restart my internet connection and then I right click on the internet connection for the atrix and select properties. On the general tab I select internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click the properties button and change my ip address manually and pick --> 192.168.2.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then click ok and ok again
5. From here I start adb shell (or you can use terminal on your phone if you wish) and type the following
su (to go into root or super user mode)
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev usb0
setprop net.usb0.dns1 192.168.2.1
setprop net.dns1 192.168.2.1
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""
after this ping www.yahoo.ca to be sure everything is working properly and if you get a response your good to go.
I'm assuming that everyone who is using these instructions has android sdk installed and there windows machine recognises the adb drivers for there phone as i'm convinced this will work with any android phone not just the atrix and I will test to confirm.
I wrote up these instructions pretty quick and I'll probably shorten them up as there is a few unessesary parts in the script for adb shell but everything will work and you should be able to but this will only allow you to use the internet and browse the internet with your phone this will not allow the market and other internet apps to work if anyone finds a solution to this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers all and ANDROID RULES!!!

Ok since I have done this myself AND IT WORKED!!! What I have done is not a fail.... My atrix did come with tethering software and the app itself is called "Tethering" so sorry for those who do not have it but I will post another message today attaching the APK for this and how to install it. I'm at work and can't do this right now.
Why do people start bashing others before taking the time to ask for help?!?
I've attached the APK to this post you ungrateful whinny blood sucking... )@#$(@[email protected]*)[email protected]*)($*)@($*!!!
YOUR WELCOME BY THE WAY TO THE UNGRATEFUL ONES WHO WILL BENIFIT FROM THIS!
Anyone who has contributed to this post in a positive way a big thank you to them.

use PC internet on the atrix via usb

is it possible?
please no questions of "why do you need that"
or why not wifi
yes it is possible. if you have stock Atrix firmware there are multiple threads about tethering. I believe you will at least have to rooted. If you have unlocked bootloader I think some of the custom roms have tethering enabled.
THIS app is what I use for USB wired tethering.
PDAnet my friend
You may be confused about what the OP is asking. He wants to use the internet connection from his PC for his Atrix to piggyback on. I don't know about USB, but if you have a wireless adapter, you can run the program connectify and the atrix can see your PC internet as a wifi connection.

Tethering with BlackBerry and Nexus 7

Hi everyone,
I'm about to purchase Nexus 7 in a couple of days but I need to confirm if my phone can tether with google tablet.
The phone I'm going to be using is a blackberry device and I was able to tether it with RIM's playbook before. Here is the link to the product page: http://ca.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-bold-9790.html
I never tried to tether blackberry to ipad before.... I don't even know if other devices accommodate blackberry for tethering.
Can somebody please confirm if this is possible with Nexus and my blackberry? Is it going to be easy connectivity or do I need to root and stuff...??? I really need an answer as bestbuy folks in my area weren't very knowledgeable about this.
Thank you in advance for your help.
This isn't a confirmation, since I don't have a Blackberry, but it might still be helpful -- I believe the answer will be "Yes, but you have to download and install PDAnet Tablet on the tablet and use it to connect." It is free, and not the same as the PDAnet for tethering.
The Bold 9790 supports bluetooth DUN, and PDAnet Tablet listed Blackberry as an option when I used it to connect to my Android phone.

If you're talking about blackberry bridge forget about it... if your BlackBerry device supports BlackBerry 7 you can turn on the hotspot feature and then tether via wifi assuming your data plan supports the feature.

Tethering PC to Android to Laptop -- HOW?

I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). I would like to do that using USB cable since my PC doesn't have WIFI or Bluetooth. I know you can buy devices to enable WIFI and Bluetooth but i don't want to buy them. And then i want to share the internet from my smartphone to my laptop.
I download a program called Android Reverse Tethering on my computer to tether from my PC to my Android phone. That is working fine. But then when i try to tether from the Android (which is now connected to the internet via the PC) to the laptop via WIFI tethering, it connects but it says there is no internet access (you know, the exclamation mark on the signal strength sign at the bottom left corner of screen - Windows 7).
So yeah...how can i successfully tether from PC (LAN)--->Android (USB cable)--->Laptop (WIFI)?

Why in the world would you tether from PC, to Android, to the laptop? What would the point be? Just tether the laptop to the PC. What is the need to put the Android device in the middle of that equation? That's probably why you hadn't received any responses, because it doesn't make any sense. You can edit the process of the tethering tutorial to make it work on a laptop, regardless of OS, as well.
"I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). " that is the first line of your post.
You probably will not be able to achieve what you are asking, because the Android OS doesn't recognize the tethered connection on your phone as an actual connection (that's why a bunch of apps can't use the signal). Have you tried to use a wi-fi tethering app (Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether is the best option)? You also will need to be rooted for all this to work (especially since your carrier probably blocks Wi-Fi tethering altogether if your data plan doesn't allow it, regardless of whether that connection is a data connection or a Wi-Fi connection).

And how would i be able to tether from PC to laptop directly without disconnecting the LAN cable from the PC and connecting it to my laptop...hence, making the PC "internet-less".?

You also will need to be rooted for all this to work (especially since your carrier probably blocks Wi-Fi tethering altogether if your data plan doesn't allow it, regardless of whether that connection is a data connection or a Wi-Fi connection).

Phone is already rooted. Data plan's got tethering enabled.
