so my g1 is physically destroyed...but it works perfectly...i have the hd2 now though...what i would like is if i could break open the g1 disconnect it from the screen it connects to make a tv output type thing and plug it into my car....also i would have to find away to get internet to use all the cool apps like pandora radio....im guessing tethering the phone to my hd2 via wifi wouldnt be out of hte question?

This is a shot in the dark, but has anyone heard of anyone who got the mogul to work as an access point? Basically, use the evdo radio to connect to the internet, and use the wireless connection, either as an adhoc connection, or preferably as a full on access point with wpa2 to share to a laptop, other devices, etc. To better describe this, you can kind of do it with a laptop:
1. connect phone via ics or dun to laptop.
2. in windows, enable ics and create ah-hoc network with encryption.
3. Other laptop connects to windows laptop, gets wireless connection and is effectively using the phone as an access point.
Even better
1. Connect phone via dun to linux laptop.
2. Linux laptop (using madwifi driver or other open source) broadcasts access point settiings and works as a full on access point.
Scenario:
I want to be able to connect my mogul to my n800. I can do that now with DUN, but what if I want to use my bluetooth headphones, or the bluetooth keyboard that I haven't bought yet? Bluetooth only allows one connection at a time, so I'm SOL. If I could get my stupid mogul to work as an access point, then I could share my connection with any wireless device (how sick would that be) and reserve bluetooth for what I wanted to really do with it, not just browsing the net. Don't get me wrong, I love that I can even sync via bluetooth, but am just looking to expand the possibilties. Unfortunately, since this is WM6, I have no idea how to really work the SDK to see if network bridging is possible. If this were a Linux phone I'd probably be done already. =(
search for socks proxy.
it doesn't work that well, but it does work..

Ummm... I'm not sure what you are basing your Bluetooth information on, but the BT specification allows for up to 8 concurrent connections at once- one master devices and 7 slaves. Why do you think its only one at a time?
I use multiple connections all the time- Very often I have my phone connected to my bluetooth GPS receiver in the car, and at the same time I'm playing tunes from the same phone over my A2DP compatible car stereo... or, take a phone call on my BT headset, and all the while I'm still connected to the GPS who is still tracking my location using bluetooth. I can tell the person where I am in real-time.
I've also had someone send me a file while talking on the phone via BT headset.
You don't need such a complicated solution for your imagined problem! I don't see any reason you can't tether it and still connect to up to 7 more Bluetooth devices at the same time!
Still, using it as an access point might prove useful for other sorts of scenarios (teleconnected mobile Lan parties? WiFi on a Bus? The incredible moving hotspot?), but you don't need it... at least not for your described scenario!
Basides, you'll get better battery life out of your connected devices if just using BT instead of WiFi!
I was wondering if this is possible. I've heard of people using ICS Control to turn it into a hotspot, but I no longer have a working WiFi card. I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all I can do is use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing that comes with WinMo until I get a long ethernet cable to wire from my router to my room.
So I was wondering if it's possible to use the phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer. I'm sure there's some way for it to be done. Any suggestions?
I have the same question
same situation here.
After some searching, I've found a program called "Serialtunnel" and "wmtunnel" that is supposed to do just that, however I cannot find any working download link...
Let me know if you find anything.

Will work as wifi to usb, making your phone a WIFI usb adapter. I use it with my desktop when hooked to my TV in the livingroom, rather than a 35 foot cord.
Its as simple as= plug in phone, start Wmwifirouter , touch wifi to usb button.
Battery charges while working so it doesn't kill it.
phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer can only be obtained if your phone allows to do so. check out the official site of your phone developrs. there will definitly be some considerations about this
Two solutions
Found two programs that do just this, both work on Windows Mobile (and unfortunately not on Symbian), but are supposed to do just what you're looking for.
ICS Control
Serial Tunnel
IF anyone figures out how to get this (converted) to run on a Symbian device... Thanks.
Anyone?
Bumping to re-ask question.

I'm looking for a program that can "Wifi to USB" on a symbian (Nokia) phone.
In other words, I want to use my phone as a wireless adapter for an old pc without wifi.
would prob get more luck asking in a symbian forum
So Im all geeky and what not and would love to have this phone. I've had my iphone (of course he's had an iphone) for awhile and fell in love with it, but I'd like to fall in love with android too.. I went to the at&t store to see if they would price match Amazons price, of course the guy didn't know, he asked around and then just ignored that I was there.. so I left
My big concern is wifi tethering to the ipad, I've read that it works, but I've read that the ipad doesn't even get close to the speed the phone should give it. Of course this is with the legit $45 a month at&t rape plan. Can anyone do a speedtest on a tethered ipad to see if they get fast speeds and what tethering method you used?
have any of you connected your atrix to a car stereo that supports USB? I'd really love to know if this supports that function (which I'm sure has more to do with the stereo than the phone). This one could be a deal breaker for me.
With the crippled Dlo and Ulo on the atrix it was crap for me while using the Hulu app.
Once I rooted and ROM'd my Inspire it was fine. I was getting 3Mbps D and 1.2Mbps U while wifi tethered to my iPad.
Edit: I am on a Grandfathered $30 unlimited data plan.
So noone plugs theirs into a car stereo via usb?
i have a kenwood exelon x7 something and have had it work a few times, not consistant though kinda like luck. Sometimes it says no device, other time drive1 and no audio files. then when it works shows drive2 then finds my album folder and can browse my music. Putting it as usb mass storage. seems to unmount storage sometimes so im not sure whats its doing.
My car has both a bluetooth connect and usb connect. I have only used the the wireless connection but I will try the usb out for the morning commute and let you know how it goes.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
ok update got mine working consistant now.
1st i plug in phone to usb in usb mass storage mode, the head unit changes to usb and the phone unmounts the storage. The phone takes longer than the stereo likes so usually pops up no device or switched back to radio or whatever was playing last. then i keep phone plugged in once its done unmounting storage switch head unit off usb (so to radio) then back to usb and it starts to read takes a little bit but finds its. hopefully that helps you.
I know you are able to use it as mouse or keyboard replacement for a PC (I assume this covers Mac as well), but how about another Android device?
Here is the thing, I bought an Android-on-a-stick device. You plug it into your TV's HDMI port and have ICS on the screen. Off course, this device doesn't come with any input options, but relies on USB, BT or WiFi for input. Since I have a HTC Desire that I no longer use except as music player, I thought it would be nice if I could incorporate something like GRemote but for another Android device, I suppose primary setup has to through USB, but after that it would be so much easier to use the screen of the Desire. Has anyone accomplished something like this, or are someone working on it and in need of Beta testers?
I wanted to know if the Nexus 10 can be used as a PRIMARY laptop screen?
A wired connection would be preferred, with a bluetooth connection being an alternative.
I cracked the screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop and I wanted to buy a Nexus10 and use it as a replacement for my primary laptop LCD.
Thank you.

Thanks for posting, Rally.
Unfortunately, the solution you provided requires a Wi-Fi network connection.
I need a wired solution preferably, or bluetooth solution at worst, because I will not always have WiFi access.
From the site you provided:
http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider_faq
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices can't see each other in the "Find Devices" (PC) or "Connect To" (Android) menus.
A: Make sure that you enable Wi-Fi on your Android device and that the ScreenSlider for Android app is running on your device with the screen turned on,
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices, enabled Wi-Fi on my Android device, but the two devices can't see each other to start a connection.
A: In order for ScreenSlider to function properly both your PC and Android device need to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN and subnet). Your PC can be connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet but must stay on the same LAN and subnet. This should not be a problem for home use (and for some small businesses too) especially if you only have one wired/wireless router in the home or office connected to your incoming Internet connection (Cable modem, DLS modem, etc.). If your PC and Android device can not see each other on a complicated home network or in an office environment, please ask your IT administrator to see if both devices are on the same LAN and subnet.
But Why??
Why would you use the nexus 10 as a replacement screen when you could just simply well.... buy a replacement screen? Unless your intention is to use the nexus as it is intended as well but..... i don'y know i just find it odd to use a 350 dollar tablet as a replacement LCD.

You answered your own question.
If I have to buy a new "screen", I might as well get one that can serve 2 purposes:
1. A stand alone Android tablet
2. A replacement LCD for my laptop.
As nice and geeky as it sounds, it's never going to be practical. At best you could remote desktop into the laptop from the tablet, otherwise, not worth the effort, just get a new screen, or bin the laptop if you can live with just a tablet.
Maybe check out iDisplay?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, it requires all devices be connected to WiFi.
I'm looking for a wired or bluetooth connection.

Thanks for the response.
Why can't it be practical?
Why can't the Nexus10 work as an external monitor with either a wired or a bluetooth connection?

No problem,
Well, the device isn't designed to accept video on its usb port, and it probably lacks the bandwidth unless it supports some reverse MHL implementation.
As for Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure all Bluetooth versions lack the bandwidth by some margin to display decent quality video at a decent rate.
Unfortunately just the nature of these things, it wasn't designed for it, so it'll never do a very good job of it.... Remote desktop on the other hand over Wifi will probably work quite nicely.
