Hey Gang,
I currently do not have a data plan and won't get one until I switch from Sprint to Verizon. (accounts expire soon)
This is what I want to do with my Vogue:
Setup SD card with EXT2 partitions [CHECK]
Correctly install/run a SenseUI/Hero build [CHECK]
Convert my WM contacts to Android contacts offline [CHECK]
Install APK's offline [CHECK]
Use the internet connection through my PC via USB cable (while running android) [PENDING]
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
Enjoy the hell out of Android and all the possibilities for the Vogue! [CHECK]
Any and all help checking off my list is much appreciated!

The camera already works out of the box. and Talk to enatefox about internet via USB connection.
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
I am currently using "Pro Paint Camera that came with this Hero/SenseUI build.
I can take pictures but not video. Also, none of the lighting effects work so every picture is very yellowish.
True.... the camera does work, but it is not really usable without adjustment.
I'm in the same situation right now. I want to use android but I'm afraid I wont be able to use internet to access the market (unlike WM/ActiveSync).
The camera issue is something that I can deal with, but I think that it would be nice if someone could make an activesync-like program that can share internet.
Only difference is that I'm on verizon right now, and might consider switching to sprint!

I forget exactly when that build came out, but I can assure you that the build I'm using now has a camcorder and camera app outside of Paint Pro Camera.
FWIW, I'm using the Droid donut ion build by Zenulator.
Also, from what I know, internet through USB only allows you to browse the web, and the marketplace doesn't work. There might be some changes in the future, however.
Yes. with Cupcake / Donut the camera/camcorder seem to work with the default applications. They still don't have filters or effects to correct lighting.
... still looking for that app.

I have also been trying to figure this out... but getting Internet via bluetooth rather than USB. So kind of like the bluetooth tethering that is possible right now with Android, but in REVERSE! So Internet-> PC-> Bluetooth-> Android.
USB Internet (at this point) can be very problematic. It can cause your phone to hard freeze out of the blue. I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it since it's hard to figure out what went wrong when I'm forced to reset.
Credit to DimaFern for getting me anywhere near having this working. I just messed with it a little. This is reverse tethering because you are not getting the connection from the phone. So the USB Tethering option is not related in this situation.
Here's my howto
I have not tried this without a Linux host. I believe you can forward traffic with ICS but I don't know what is involved there.
My gateway is .37, my laptop is .107 and the phone gets it's IP from the laptop:
On laptop:
echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On Android:
ip addr add 192.168.37.100/24 dev usb0
ifconfig usb0 up
## This is the IP for my laptop:
route add default gw 192.168.37.107
setprop net.dns1 192.168.37.107
cat /proc/net/route
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last line is not needed-- it's to show you that it's routing traffic. You won't be able to ping IPs from the command line and somehow Market doesn't think you're online but SAM Market, Browser, etc. do work. It's nice because you are not taxing the RAM of the phone for connectivity so it runs much quicker... unless it hard freezes on you.
i use tetherbot to tether my phone now that it's running android full time. basically install tetherbot and start the socks proxy server on port 1080 then.
Code:
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
from your computer and set up firefox to connect manually to the proxy.

I'm sorry, but isn't Tetherbot used to share your phone's internet connection with your computer?
I think we are trying to be able to "reverse tether" and not tether.
enatefox (and others)...
I would love to see how this reverse-tethering can work. I know its very complicated and buggy right now, but if you do any more work on it you should create a thread showing how in layman's terms. I have dual-boots on both my computers into Ubuntu 9.10, I know what the terminal is and sudo and some basic commands, but when you type your commands with little explanation I get lost. They could use some clarification [ such as 1) open terminal 2) type these commands. ] And please explain terminal in Android. What apk do I need? I probably have it already but just need to install it. Thanks for any help. I don't have data since my line costs $10 a month (family plan) and data would be $26 a month. I just started reverse-tethering with WM6.5.1 and its really cool.
There aren't any other steps you just run what I posted and change "192.168.37.107" to what your desktop's IP is and "192.168.37.100" to "192.168.xxx.100" where "xxx" is the subnet of your LAN-- matching the 3rd set of numbers of your desktop's IP.
You can run these commands over ADB, which is required to do this. Here's a guide on how to set it up.
Here is what I came up with trying to do the same thing with bluetooth instead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4404512&postcount=9
I was missing your "ip addr..." command to add the forwarding network, this should help, I will give it a try.
I also came to the conclusion that I needed a way to fake that either the wifi or the data connection was up. Maybe this can be done by issuing a "setprop" command forcing the status to being "up"?

UGH I'm stuck right now. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and when I type in terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" I get some error message telling me to do it a different way. So even after restarting the computer, it does not recognize any command for adb. I already did the export PATH to the androidsdk/tools folder and adb is in there, but I cannot get it to open. Any ideas?
Got it to see adb. I forgot to put /home/drkow19 in front of the path...
edit: Has anyone successfully used ADB with zen's 2.0.1? I'm trying right now but it shows no devices connected. In the 50-android.rules file I have 0bb4 instead of 18d1 like enatefox said to. Also, on the Dream forums the file they use is 51-android.rules, whats the diff?
0bb4 and 18d1 are determined in the source code. Different versions can change so whichever is shown, use. The 50 and 51 are indicators for timing. Maybe I have this backwards but 51 should start later than 50 and can address issues with it not being recognized or more precisely, overrode with another operation. I set mine to 51.
Okay I deleted 50 and used 51-android.rules. What is the line about "define vendor id" does that need to be in the 51 file?
I can say adb start-server but no devices... They say you need to sudo adb start-server but when I try that I get "sudo: adb: command not found" How do you add the adb PATH so it works under sudo as well?
▌█▐ Free USB Tether method for Android - AziLink 2.0.2 ▌█▐
DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT!
I came across this while searching for free USB tethering methods and apps. I am currently posting this message from this method and it is 100% free to setup and use. I know rooted devices can utilize the free Wifi tether, which I also have and I am also rooted but it kills my battery to use that so I wanted to find a USB solution.
I have compiled all needed files and zipped them for ease of download.
Download link: (---CLICK HERE!---)
Website: http://code.google.com/p/azilink/
Instructions from that site (which is also included in the .zip file):
[FONT="]Description:
AziLink is an application that allows USB tethering for Android-based phones, without requiring root access. It works by using a Java-based NAT that communicates with OpenVPN on the host computer. It's been tested on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. The connection will be forwarded over the phone's active network service, which can be either WiFi or 3G/EDGE.
Required files:
* ADB from the 1.1 or 1.5 Android SDK or from http://lfx.org/azilink/adb.zip
* OpenVPN 2.1 (not 2.0) from http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html
* AziLink.apk from the download section or from http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.apk
* AziLink.ovpn from the download section or from http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.ovpn
Installation:
1) Install OpenVPN on the host. I use version 2.1_rc15, but any version should work. Apparently if you use version 2.0 you'll need to remove the NO_DELAY option from the AziLink.ovpn configuration file. You can find OpenVPN at:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html
2) Enable USB debugging on the phone. From the home screen, this is under
Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging.
3) Install the Android USB driver (if you don't already have one installed).
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html for more information. The driver is included in the ADB download if you don't want to get the full SDK.
4) Install the program. You can either use ADB to install by typing
"adb install azilink.apk" with the file in the current directory, or you can browse (on the phone!) to: http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.apk
Either way you might need to allow installation from unknown sources
under Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources.
Configuration steps:
1) On the host, run "adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927" to set up port forwarding. Be sure to use adb from the Android 1.1 or 1.5 SDK! The version from 1.0 will lock up under heavy load. If you don't want to download the entire SDK, you can get a copy of ADB+drivers from http://lfx.org/azilink/adb.zip
2) On the phone, run AziLink and make sure "Service active" is checked.
3) Right click AziLink.ovpn on the host (not in the web browser!) and select "Start OpenVPN on this configuration file." You can find this file at: http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.ovpn. If you're using Linux or, god forbid, MacOS, you'll also need to manually set the nameserver to 192.168.56.1 (the phone's NAT IP address). This address is automatically forwarded to the phone's current DNS server.[/FONT]
Just wanted to point out there is also a wired tether app by same dev as wireless tether app and also comes built in with latest cyanogenmod.
I personally don't like anything that requires drivers as I often tether to my iPod and anything that requires a driver won't work with my iPod or many other common items I tether to.
However, everyone likes their own procedures, and I'm sure someone will find this useful.

u sir, have failed, jk but here is a cyanogen rom from one of ur guys great developers Darchdroid v 2.7
Darchdroid 2.7 w/ Wired Tether
I'm trying to get the Wired Tether app (made by the same ppl as Wireless Tether than everyone knows and loves) to work with Darchdroid 2.7 but am having no luck!
If anyone has gotten it to work, please let me know how!
I've got the app installed, but Windows 7 does not recognize it as a network adapter...thinking its a windows driver issue, but need some help...
thanks!
thank you 4 ur nice help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why not justdownload pdanet or easytether i have both and the wireless tether those two are very simple to use and works good
Two reasons that i use Azilink:
1: no PDANet usb support for linux
2: wired tether built into cyanogen, as well as the standalone app cause the 3g connection in my Eris to intermittently cut in and out while azilink does not. (PDANET solves this problem in windows)
u can giv a try to easy tether but its not free tho work fine and easy to use
EasyTether shares your Android smartphone connection with your PC. This app allows you to tether your Android to a desktop or a notebook computer. EasyTether uses exactly the same data plan that is used for the on-phone Internet access like in the built-in browser or e-mail app or youtube application. No additional tethering fees.
Features
* does not require root access
* supports Windows 7/Vista/XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Mac OS X 10.6/10.5/10.4, and Ubuntu 10.4+
* UDP support for games, for L2TP VPN (not PPTP!) and for some IM apps
* tether PS3, XBox 360 or Wii via Windows Internet Connection Sharing feature
* free lifetime upgrades for the full version
* USB support
* compatible with HTC Sync
* Bluetooth DUN will be added later.
* much cheaper than PDANet
* implemented as a normal NAT application with full TCP and UDP support
Is it possible to use Azilink with Voip?
I have nat error, so is it possible to forward ports?
Yup, thats dumb question, why to tether for voip if you can use wirless card
I have sagem dongle and it ... losses connection often while my phone is online all the time, and i don't want to spend money for some good wifi adapter, if i could use phone that i already have
Awesome
Anybody know where to find an apk in 2020? There are github sites but only source there. I don't consider EasyTether to be so wonderful, and I paid the $10 for it. It's not open source so I can't tell why it breaks but I've had to reinstall it maybe 20 times, it's a black box.

I probably should have checked back here, I'm learning to live with easytether. I wrote a little bash script to pkill the easytether-usb process, wait 1 second, then restart it. That for some reason seems to renew the phone connection. I can connect via ssh over wifi to the Pi that's serving as an AP/router, run that script and it's fixed. It's maybe not worked twice in 6 months, I need to do it half a dozen times a day or so. I can ssh from a computer or phone.

If you meant having your phone run an sshd daemon, so you can use a shell with it .... Market has this: https://market.android.com/search?q=sshd
close...
that is what i'm looking to do. but for some reason i'm unable to connect to the device's ip address... any ideas?
Your phone's ip is a private ip address. TMO NATs it to a set of public ip addresses to go out to the internet. That's why you can't connect using your phone's ip.

Darn. I was really hoping to be able to get through. Oh well. Thanks.

One option to get around this is to use remote port forwarding via SSH. You can run an SSH server on your phone and then use ConnectBot on your phone to SSH into an SSH server on your home network. At that point, you can use remote port forwarding with ConnectBot to allow other computers on your home network to access the SSH server on your phone.
That's a very good idea. I'm going to try it in the morning. Very excited.

Hey ran across this sometime ago but didn't know an answer till today... but it's complicated...
1st~ it seems to depend on your service provider...
~ On Sprint I have been able to ssh into my device from a PC connected to a completely different wifi network using Putty on Vista home basic.
~ On Sprint I (with some great help from Almazick here at XDA) have also been able to run a LNMP server and connect to the sample web page and dbmin with the above mentioned network set up but with Chrome and Firefox instead of Putty (yeah that might be a duh statement for some but I don't want to lose ya reader, this stuff is cool ) you can find all the steps that that took by following the link in my sig that points to the XDA Guide I maintain and jump to pages (ruffly) 11-13+ and check the easiest ways to host websites off your device. And I'll eventually have a script and section in the main guide made so you all don't have to scroll through pages of our mutterings
~ Almazick, the person that I credit for getting me to do all this extensive testing, is not on Sprint and because of this has run into errors when trying to connect over 3G and or 4G. This leads me to believe that the issue is the network that your device is connected to.
~ Currently there are almost no other variables left that could be at fault. Both Almazick and I are using the same software and apps to test on.... but for those that have to know what the last variables to test is; hardware, we've got different devices and different service providers, and different PC's. All others have been eliminated or made identical or have been adjusted for.
2nd~ Root is required and if you want to ssh like us then getting Linux duel booted up will make life way easier for helping in the future.
~ Almazick uses Lil Debi and I'm a fan of Debian Kit, both can be found on the Android market place for free, and there are other options like QEMU and more but for this definitely start with Lil Debi and a 2Gb img file or larger (still working on figuring it out on Debian Kit) and follow the direction on page 11 or 12 for now.
~ or you could try downloading an app for ssh server (not client alone) and muddle your way through other guides on the web... I'll be testing/checking the possibilities for this but am not holding my breath on when that'll be ready
3rd~ accessing things...
~ running 'cd sdcard' and 'ls' was peppy and responsive
~ running programs or apps that use lots of data or memory can be ruff.
~~ Force closures happen when out of memory. So freeze or force close or uninstall apps that aren't needed if things like that start happening.
~~ things that use lots of data and or memory also cause much drain on the battery and if excessive wile plugged in can cause heat issues. So use a heatsink from an old computer and a fan and maybe pull the battery too and you can run a bit longer on the edge of what your device can do
4th~ all this is very "use at your own risk"
~ I haven't fried or bricked a device yet but things have gotten toasty so use some for thought and be careful.
Final notes;
I realize that this is a thread resurrection and not 100% directly related to your specific device. However, I offer a work around that should work for all devices* running root and Linux so we should celebrate and revel in the wonders of Open source and helpful people
*running on Sprint or WiFi if on another network then please try it and report the bugs to me on the main guide thread and I'll work with you and try to resolve it

SSH server requires a PC which must be always on but you can use a router since it's already running 24/7. If you have a router with SSH/VPN/Proxy capability then you can use router as a server. For example you can use a 3rd party firmware for your router if it is compatible with DD-WRT, Tomato or OpenWRT to run Proxy server, SSH or VPN. They are very easy to setup for this task.
Update: Just noticed it's 2011 thread. Oh well

It's yet again a server client based networking set up but instead of accessing files and folders (like with putty here on this thread) or accessing web content (like with LNMP on the other thread) maptools serves up a virtual table top gaming experience to those that connect in. One person sets-up* a game and then shares out the guest login info to their fiends, the guests log in and after a few seconds every one connected can see the changes that any other player takes. Kinda like virtual desktop but for roll playing games.
*set-up of the game is rather labor intense for the individual. Because they make an entire dungeon or world map, tokens to populate it, and libraries of macros so things are more point and click. When compared to running a normal tabletop gaming experience the labor is almost as intense, it's just not easy to share in real time over them internets.

Well first double check the IP you're using or tracking with no-ip.biz ~ I would suggest using
canyouseeme.org
or an app like Network Info II
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.networkInfoIi
And ensure that the IP didn't change when setting up the first time around, this can happen at the worst times.
And if you're truly behind a firewall or NAT, such as with tmoblie, then I did run across this guide for getting round that last troublesome bit which likely will work for other service providers as well.

Hi:
I am loving my HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile and Android. I am using the following latest builds which work very well:
AmericanAndroid
MCCMBoxMax
and another which doesn’t come to my mind.
The only thing that is keeping me from a perfect experience is getting internet connection while in Android.
1. In Android OS, If I am connected to WIFI I get perfect internet at home or anyplace else where there is WIFI
2. In Windows Mobile, if there is no WIFI, I can connect to internet via my cell phone connection. I guess this is called data connection. I seem be having trouble doing this regardless of what Android build I use. Is there some setting I should be using in Android to get this to work? I’m almost certain I have the Mobile network setting checked. If there is some other setting, I must be missing it
I don't get any error messages, just that there is no internet connection when I goto a web page or try to goto Market.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your help in advance!

There are many reasons why your data connection might not be working well because of.
First, your APN Settings may not be correctly set.
Second, in case you're running off NAND and you're using cLK with rmnet.
Third, your phone couldn't resolve the DNS server thus giving you no connectivity.
To fix the:
First, check your settings.
Second, Enable ppp instead of rment.
Third, editing the build.prop in your device.
after opening it, look for DNS1 and DNS2 .
Set DNS1 (or Primary DNS) to: 8.8.8.8
Set DNS2 (or Alternative DNS) to : 8.8.4.4
build.prop is located in system folder in your device.
Reboot, and check if it is working.
Well, maybe I mistated....It doesn't connect to anything while booted in Android. The only so far to get internet connection is thru a WIFI connection. If there is no WIFI then I get nothing. With WINMO 6.x I get data, but not with Android.
Will those instructions you gave still work? If so, I will try it after work.
Thank You!
You mean you see the "H", "3G", "E" or "G" but you can't get internet. or you don't even see them?
what does it say when you turn on Data connection?
Ah...maybe thats the problem. I get 5 bars, but those letters are no where to be found. When I'm on the WINMO side, I get those letters.
Wait....as I'm typing this, I just saw the letter H with up and down arrows below it. What does that mean?

How do you enable ppp?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
That means you're now connected to the internet, you probably have network select set on "WCDMA Only" and your area has insufficient 3G coverage. Just set it to "WCDMA/GSM Auto" .

Depends on your build, reading the OP of your build will definitely give you the answer but in most cases you can do so by editing the config.txt file on your sd card (create if not there) .. also keep in mind that not all builds support config.txt nor PPP. Refer to your build's thread. you also have to have a compatible kernel.
I'm using HyperDroid GBX v12, couldn't find anything on the rom's thread. Although I did find a ppp.txt right next to my build.txt in my system folder. Does this mean it is enabled?

I'm not really sure, but you could try making a txt file on the root of your sd card and name it "config.txt" and write in it the following:
Code:
ppp_mode=1
Then reboot your phone with sd card on, and see if it works.

Hi:
I am loving my HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile and Android. I am using the following latest builds which work very well:
AmericanAndroid
MCCMBoxMax
and another which doesn’t come to my mind.
The only thing that is keeping me from a perfect experience is getting internet connection while in Android.
1. In Android OS, If I am connected to WIFI I get perfect internet at home or anyplace else where there is WIFI
2. In Windows Mobile, if there is no WIFI, I can connect to internet via my cell phone connection. I guess this is called data connection. I seem be having trouble doing this regardless of what Android build I use. Is there some setting I should be using in Android to get this to work? I’m almost certain I have the Mobile network setting checked. If there is some other setting, I must be missing it

I'd advise you to use a permanent Android Version, such as BOYPPC (which is the best in my mind)!
Otherwise install a newer SD-Android Version, and turn on the data connection in settings! Should work.
If there appears a E, G, 3G or H in your task bar, then u have internet connection!
Thank you for all your help and suggestions. I just installed:
[08 JULY][SD/MAGDLR] MccMBoxmaX GS V8 Gingerbread
And I finally got the Data to work. I don't know what happened, but it working. I am so happy I waited a year to by the HD2 Telstra.....Thanks again!

I'm a network admin and I use the free utility Tcping to ping my access points remotely. I'd like to be able to use it on my phone as well, but there isn't an app that does anything like it as far as I can tell. I tried compiling it from source on my phone, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
Does anyone know if it is possible to port the linux version of tcping to android (without installing debian/ubuntu)?

Have a look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.ping.android.hostmonitor
It's not tcping, but it's an app capable of tcp ping. A really good app, if I may say so myself.

Thanks for the suggestion! That app is capable of pinging a specific port, but it lacks certain features that I would need as well. I couldn't find a way to do a manual refresh (necessary for troubleshooting) and the way that this app manages port numbers is just not what I'm looking for. I need to be able to just type in a port and hit go, I don't want to be creating a gigantic list of ports in the app's settings.
However, I did find this app, which is a lot closer to what I want: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.odinnet.servermonitor&hl=en

Ping HostMonitor refreshes each time the main activity (host list) opens/reopens.
Sorry, I just realized that was your app. Allow me to explain what I need so you can see what I'm looking to do.
I'm a wifi network technician. The company I work for manages the guest networks for hundreds of hotels all over the southeastern US. On each site, we have dozens of access points (theres actually one resort where we have over 500 aps). All of the access points are accessible through our firewall via specified ports that vary from site to site.
We have a webpage that displays all of the APs at each site with their port# and uptime display that is only accurate to within 15 minutes. So if I'm troubleshooting remotely I use tcping to see when an AP comes up in real time after a remote reboot.
Your app seems to be geared more towards what ipsentry does, where it pings in 15 minute intervals. I'm looking to run pings in 3 second intervals or less.
Also, I would like to be able to just type the hostname and port then hit go. Your app is made more for a network admin who manages a single or couple of networks, and it just takes too many steps to enter in a port to be pinged. However, there are some features of your app that I really really like including only pinging a specific host when conected to a certain ssid.
I really like your app, but I need to run pings in 3 second intervals and it's just too difficult on Ping HostMonitor. If you wouod consider adding this feature, I will be eternally grateful.

Something like this?
Hey thanks man! I tried it though and I can't get it to run. I've attached a screenshot, am I doing it wrong?

The sdcard isn't mounted allowing execute access. Put it someplace else, e.g. /data/local/tcping
holy moly it works perfectly! thanks a million man!
now if you had the time, you could make an app version with a gui. i'd definitely pay for an app that could do this.
thanks again for all your help!
