[Q] Need Mobile AP for DK28...

I know that this does not work on DK28 currently, but if anyone could get this to work it would be very helpful. This is the only thing keeping me from going back to 2.2. I need it for one of my computers when im not home. Here is the link for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785719
The guy said he was gong to look into replacing the sprint mobile hotspot with this. If anyone could do this and possibly include it in there rom then I could go back to 2.2. I have seen a few post of people using 2.1 because they also don't have this for 2.2. I hope there is more interest and we can possibly get this done. I would try but I know nothing about how to do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to do this, or has interest in it.
FYI - I have gotten every wireless device in my house to see and use this app. (ps3, 3 laptops).

I'm on Mammon's Bonzai ROM and using the Sprint Hotspot app just fine. The only issue I'm having is that 4G drops when I get or make a call while using the hotspot.

assuming your paying for the feature as well. Ill take a stab and say he wants a free infrastructure hot spot, which I think as of right now is only possible on 2.1 odexed roms. The original porter of the i9000 ap said hell only port again on am official release. Cyanogen I believe also has it as a possibility, but its not yet working on our port. And the op of that thread says it won't be any time soon.

Also BTthomas is working on coding the mobile ap to work on 2.2 froyo deodexed roms and said he was making progress but is taking a break for the holidays, so we might see it soon maybe even b4 official froyo but have feeling that once the 2.2 source is out jr might make a new one and bt might have one faster for deodexed roms so ill give it a few months at least and we will probaly have it work on all roms

Mobile AP Thread Appears the app creator is working on it for us.

I doNt know about for the ps3 but I'm using wireless tether rc2 on froyo and it works great on my iPad and laptop. I had mobile ap before I updated and honestly wireless tether to me is just as fast. I haven't tried it on the ps3 though.

Wireless tether crawls in comparison, the loading of web pages on my computer is so slow with wireless tether, plus mobile ap doesn't get my phone hot even when charging, also when u connect multiple compters and devices to wireless tether it crawls more mobile ap I've connected 4 devices on 1x speed and 2 of them were streaming u tube in under a minute of loading, plus mobile ap is so much better looking and not an extra app u have to have its part of your settings and kicks ass plus it works superbly on 4g when wiress tether doesnt...

Yeah I really dont know to much about it. I only used it like one time. It would be nice to have on froyo but I'm not gonna let that be the reason that I didn't update to froyo.

Cool thanks for all the info on this. Yes looking for a free alternative. I only need it about once a week for a few minutes. The Google cr-48 only does infrastructure mode. Kinda sucks but I need it when I'm out and there is no wifi. Haven't activated the Verizon 3g built in yet. Just want an alternative to it since I have the phone, but then again I probably wont go through the 100mb limit it comes with. I use the computer for school so I have to make sure I have internet in case I run out.

[Q] Wired Tether on Froyo?

I have Froyo on my Epic 4G with Epic Experience 2.0.0.5 instaled and I want to use Wired Tether, as for some reason on Wireless tether, if i have my phone plugged into my computer and wireless tether on... the battery drains faster than it charges and my phone dies... idk what causes this, anyway back on topic. Is there anyway i can use wired tether on froyo at this point? I get kernal issues when i try to use it. Also, im on the DK28 version of froyo.

you can use easytether or PdaNet

This should not be the case..is your phone hot when wireless tethering? if so it may not be charging due to the heat and I suggest placing it on a metal platform..

They're trials. Well, pdanet is a 10day trial or something and easytether blocks https websites
Or it might be the other way around lol
But I made a thread like this and basically, simple wired tether isn't available on froyo yet, but it works in 2.1 with some kernals
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I bought easytether used it on 2.1 and reinstalled on 2.2 aka dk28 and still works with no issue.
I think it was $10, which is nothing since you have a pretty much a $400 phone 8)
To get access to htts sites you do need the paid version.

Sigh
I've done many searches on here for help
dk28 no matter what rom drops randomly my easy tether (paid) connection. It did not do this with DI18. I'm happy with the nebula ROM except for this. I know it's a dk28 issue of some sort, because I've seen others complain of this in another thread I cannot now find.
I hope someone can help me fix this without a reload, it is my ONLY issue, but it's a huge issue since my phone is my main internet source.
Thanks!

I ended up with the same issue on easytether, so eventually I gave up and had to use wireless tether
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

check your wireless and networks, on my device with dk28 it says tethering, just turn that on and it works, thats how im using it right now... see if that works for you

Thanks for the reply, but that causes the usual error67 that the hotspot gves you as well. Guess I have to go back to eclair.

yea or try turning on wireless tether and leave access control on so it does not kick you off, i had that issue when i went from tethering to wifi last night, or maybe it was turn off access control, it was a lil late sorry lol

I use PDANet because it works while your computer has an active wifi up. EasyTether does not work with an active wifi. I have licenses for both.

USB tether easytether pdanet Wireless which is faster?
When I first used PDANET I was getting 5mb down! I get 1mb with easytether...I switched due to driver issues with PDANET. I dont know for sure but maybe there is a limitation on the legacy usb driver easytether uses? Maybe sprint can see and has capped my data? I am using a rooted stock Samsung eb13 2.2 Hmmm...Dunno for sure but think the rom I had it on when it was 5mb was epic experience 1.5 which totally freaked out on me after I installed AVG antivirus and I kept getting popups speed is nice but at a price? Can anyone explain why initially it was 5mb now its not?

I was pulling 4-6mbps/900kbps-1.5mb while in LA through Easytether on 4G. Watched like 7hrs of 720p youtube videos. =D
I was using Wiredtether that comes with ACS 1.0 EB13 ROM, but the connection kept dropping out randomly. Easytether performed great and never dropped.

Hmm weird, yea now I am still getting like a meg down or so, considering going back to the ROm I initially flashed Truely Epic; just want something stable and fast doesnt everyone... yea easy tether drops and now pda net drops as well... would be fine if it was the initial 5mb down but alas I must seek the advise of the xda community for how this can possibly be...I am in the same location where I initially got 5mb down so am perplexed I think it is the spyware in the stock eb so...Hmm... Suggestions appreciated!!! I dropped my cable internet and need more than a meg ...

There's a wired tether app in the themes and apps section
Its made for the epic and works beautifully
Id upload if I knew how

[Q] Whats your speed like on your rooted shift using wireless tether for root users?

So on my permrooted Shift with 4G antenna on and max signal (middle of NYC) I can easily tether to my laptop. However, once tethered and running a speedtest I'm only downloading at a meager .50 Mbs! The speedtest directly from the phone is upwards of 8. Is this the experience of everyone else so far as well? Perhaps we need to wait on a new kernel or the app itself to be updated?
Thank you!

Same for me. I am in Minneapolis. I get pretty much 3G speeds even on 4G. I am just glad it would work in a pinch. Maybe the wireless tether app needs an update I am thinkinh.

yeah unfortunately for me I was hoping to be able to use this as my primary internet source. Oh well I know there was a fix that came out for the evo, I'm sure something similar will be found for the shift.

Yes my speeds are terribly slow!

If I had a need for it a lot I would maybe consider it but for $10(to be able to use https) I think I can do without.

Alright...I'm in it for 10 bucks. Will report findings.
edit:
Although using EasyTether registers much faster speeds on a speedtest (almost 5 Mbs), it's FAR from stable. The hangups cause it to run about as slow as using wireless tether for root users.
My advice is to stay away from EasyTether and save your money. The boys at EasyTether will have a fix or we'll see some code to change up the system like was available on the evo to max it out.
I'm getting my money back lol.

[Q] Evo 4g w/o cellular connection?

So the whole family converted to iPhones last month.
I was going to sell my Evo, but while shopping for a smallish Android tablet, I had the idea of using my Evo as a tiny tablet. I think the Evo offers pretty much exactly what I was looking for albeit in a slightly smaller package than I wanted. However, it is in my possession now and does not require buying anything.
Is it possible to run w/o a cellular connection or is Sprint going to somehow lock me down?
If so, can someone please point me in the right direction to do so?

If you disconnect cellular service to the EVO it will work perfectly over wifi. My kids have a G1 that is only connected via wifi. Everything works from the market to talk to Google voice. Just tether from your iPhone to have all that on the go.

Yep, just turn on Airplane Mode on the evo first, then turn on wifi, and you can basically do anything you could before.

Or, if u have juice defender beta (I have Ultimate/Beta, not sure if necessary) u can enable tablet mode on it which disconnects cell service w/out touching bluetooth(airplane mode disables) or wifi all with CM7.1 Rom makes my evo the exact same as my GTab...

Excellent. I am very excited to play with this tonight. When the Evo was my main phone I never even rooted it. Time to play!
Thanks for the answers.

Hopefully you won't regret your iPhone purchase now that you get to have so much fun rooting and customizing that EVO. I wholeheartedly recommend MIUI to you as your first non-Sense based rom! Just root/wipe/flash and away you go. Enjoy the process brother, the world is now your oyster

CM9 4g connectivity?

My 4g usually has an okay time staying connected, where I am setting. I am using cm9 a3, and when it does connect it never lasts long. Doesn't matter if the phone is setting still, but the connection drops all the time... Anyone else?

I was having that issue with the mobile hotspot. It seems that the problem sorted itself out when I rebooted the phone.

Hmm, haven't used my hotspot in ages, and have rebooted a few times today...

Somewhere in the forums i read someone's suggestion that perhaps the number of bars showing could be better calibrated with the signal. That popped out at me because on CM9 I've never had many, if any bars on either 4 or 3g...been on EL30 modem for awhile and get great bars on CleanGB, as well as CM7. That being said, it did SEEM to me as well that connectivity overall on CM9 is more in and out too, especially with 4g. Don't really have any answer here, but I hear ya.

Are you able to use the mobile hotspot on 4g in CM9?! Soon as I turn on the native hotspotc 4g cuts out, same as with CM7. Third party tether app worked for me in CM7 to use 4g, but not in CM9. Really a bummer because thats one of the main reasons I'm not running CM9 daily now. Tethering at 3g is just too slow for me.

I agree. I attempted to use the usb tether with no luck

Well I know I am not in the best signal area, but I can usually get a connection and hold it for awhile. It seems to go to idle and shortly disconnect afterwords.

pretty sure people were saying that it will SHOW that you are broadcasting 4G wifi tether but you aren't actually and that it is 3G speeds.

I have issues with the bars as well. I believe its a known bug where the bars don't truly reflect your signal. I also usually have 1 to no bars but good data connection.

Could be...but after trying it out on alpha3, I'm pretty sure I was connected on 4g. Unscientific, but I was able to watch netflix brilliantly on my Google tv. That cannot happen with the 3g speeds I get, but I suppose I should go back and test some things with speed test to get some real results...

It works on 4g.
At my desk at work I get a decent 4g signal, but next to no 3g signal (3g is effectively unusable) i was able to tether to the 4g and get decent speeds from it.
CM9A3

Seems to be even getting worse, I am lucky if 4g will connect at all...
Actually, it won't connect at all, not even outside... wonder what is wrong...

I'm using the A3 as well & I guess I'm the lucky one because I'm not having all that many connectivity issues with it (yet).
The alpha tag says it all when it comes to anything not working quite right do your part and report it in the bug tracker.
The Epic CM9 guys are on the ball with there **** if they can reproduce it (assuming they don't already know about it) they should be able to fix it.

After a fresh reinstall, and restore from titanium and setup, it seems to at least be connecting again. Won't know til Monday if it works at work.
