sharing computers internet with phone?

Yo all!!
ok.. i have been trying to get my phone to connect Via HTC sync V2 and latest V3 but have been told that it will not work as we are not using Sence? (FroydVillain 1.5)
if so... i need a little help....
With HTC Sync (before Froyd..), i could get the phone to use the computers internet.
Is there any way of doing this without Sync?
Cheers all

Simple as that! You have FV 1. 5!!!! Just connect the usb cable and enable tethering under >setting >wireless connection, you can now use wireless or 3G with your pc... ;-)

Im confused why would anyone want to use the computers internet connection on a phone when they are tethered?
I can see wanting your computer to use 3G but not the other way around. Am i missing something something here ?

You're definitely missing something,... For people without unlimited data plans maybe?

Or maybe turn off the phone and use the computer?

yes i can see that aps will cost if you've got no data plan with a smart phone, i did have to abort a few auto updates when i was on holiday and being charged roaming rates and now routinely set them to off. If it was me I would look for the apk files from and load them from the sd card or failing that walk the streets looking for an open wifi

had a quick google and found this , hope it help the op

Not heard if it worked for anyone, so thought I'd bump this link again. It sounds like what you're after.

Tethering Driver

Question, I haven't got internet set up yet at my new place and I want to set up my wife's laptop for tethering off my aria, cm6.1 rc1 so just wondering what driver I need to install to get the tethering to work. It works on my desktop but I've never had my phone hooked up to her laptop. Any help with this is greatly appreciated...

WiFi Tether Reboots Phone

I'm having this problem for awhile, tried different things all end up when tethering my phone shuts off about 45min to 1h of tethering.
Currently on EC05, stock rom and wifi tether 3.0 pre 12 but tried them all and going down in version for more stable one.

Settings, choose device build and select the Epic.
Also, make sure 4G radio is OFF before starting it.

I have all that selected still no luck.

this happened to me on ef02 it only worked when plugged in to a power source.

I'd suggest uninstalling that one and switching to Barnacle Tether. I recall the WiFi Tether app having technical issues that the dev couldn't get around.

the latest beta works. unistall the stock one first. (manually like with root explorer) then install. then reboot.
will work fine =)

I would suggest...... the sprint wifi hotspot hack, you can set time limits for usage & have up to 5 things runnin @ the same time(if u didnt already kno...lol) & it works with 4g!!!
Here's a link for ya

No, its an actual Hotspot hack. Its not that WifiTether using Hotspot as a passthrough or whatever it does so the Hotspot icon comes on

Geez that made my phone unbootable (had back up) but made me more searching around that post so thank u. Since I'm on EC05 that didn't work but found patch that modified framework and now pure hot spot working without wifi tether, thanks again. The download is in the beginning of that original post call framework something read how to install.

USB tether with EI22

Can anyone recommend a good usb tethering program for use with EI22. WiFi tether is not an option here.

Why not just use the Hotspot Hack?

Wired tether 1.4 works for me, except on linux - even though it appears that stock attempts to use rndis (dmesg on my linux box shows that it momentarily recognizes a rndis device), it doesn't work the same way that Rodderik's rndis support worked in his EC05 kernel... windows auto-detects it just fine, though

I'm a pretty big fan of EasyTether, I use it often since I'm stuck without Internet at home for awhile.

Hotspot hack lets you use usb? Figured it was wifi only.

Hotspot hack isn't as nice
I like keeping track of how much data I use while tethering. Wired and wireless tether lets me do that. Playing MW2 and BF3 over 3G is data intensive, so I like to keep an eye on it. Plus, those are things the Sprint knows wouldn't be coming from the phone normally, so limiting their data use would be a good idea.

Cool. Just checked it out on the sleeper rom and it works as it would. I just turned on USB tether and plugged it in. No issues.

No can do. The PC doesn't have wireless. Plus it's nice to charge the phone and only use one radio at a time instead of the big drainer of EVDO and Wifi going full bore.

[Q] Wifi Tether not working on CyanogenMod7.2.0

I I just installed CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RCO-Epic last night. I have to say this is the first modded ROM that I am running and I love it.
But I cannot get Wifi Tether to work. I tried the Google version and also Barnacle. They both will run, ask for superuser, and they appear to start. But the SSID is not visible anywhere?
Is there anything out there that can fix this? Wifi Tether was working for me on the Stock Froyo (Rooted) but now wont work.....
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

flash the latest nightly build

Check to see if your apps are saved to sd card, then move to sys memory(512MB), they should then be visible in your app drawer.......this is one possibility w/ your issue.
Also, as was suggested: reflash, could be a bad dl or bad flash.

Apps are not installed on the SD Card. Apps are visible in the app drawer.
The apps start fine and say they are running. I remember before I flashed with this ROM and using just the rooted Froyo I would get "Hotspot activated" and sort of a bullseye icon on the top. That does not happen, i only get the wifi tether icon on the top.
The build that I installed says on the first page the wifi drivers and such were fixed.
I am new to MOD'd Roms, if i install a nightly and it messes up, can i just re-install the original Modded ROM (both MTD), i konw that is a really basic question, but dont want to brick my phone.

You could also try the wifi tether that Flastnoles11 posted in the CM7 Discussin and tip sharing thread. It was about the 10th page so roughly just under post 100.

Why not use the wifi tether built into settings? That works perfectly fine for me.
