EasyTether

I was using EasyTether on my dual boot android Tilt phone before getting the Aria. I managed to find an apk but it's for an older version.
I thought I would see if someone can get a later version? as of post time the latest is 0.9.10.
I was able to use the Installing 3rd Party Apps post to load the version I found. So, it will work and doesn't require root access!
Edit: Removed attachment since there is a better way! Thanks guys!

Does it work on the Aria???

If you have Wifi shut down your phone, take out your SIM, turn it back on and connect to the market via Wifi. Easytether will come back along with other AT&T restricted programs. This is what i did in order to get it back on my phone and it works great. Also one of the reasons why im baking it into my personal rom so i always have it.

Please forgive the NOOB, me......but,
I have the Aria on it's way and desperately need to be able to tether. I'm marginally savvy but know nothing about rooting....is it required to tether?
Or can I simply follow the instructions above on an unmodified Aria out of the box, install easytether and have it work?

Works
Confirm, this really works.
Thanks A++++++++++++++++

It does seem to work just fine

Just so I'm clear, (cuz I'm frequently not)
When you write "it" works, the "it" in this case is an unmodified Aria, with Easy Tether installed via the no sim/wifi download method described above - correct?
With no other fancy mods, I should be able to tether to my laptop - yes?
(fingers crossed)......

Actually my Aria is in fact rooted running attN1's ROM. Sorry!
Can we maybe get someone with a stock out of the box Aria to give this a try and report back for our friend here!?
I'm sure we can get someone to try this for you. There seem to be plenty of Aria/Liberty users out there now.

Thanks for quick clarification - and no problem. If, in fact, this works, I believe it will be the first (easy) successful tether mod - if I'm not mistaken - and a fairly big development. I've been searching feverishly for an easy solution since placing my order yesterday (confident that it would eventually be cracked). If we don't get a confirmation on whether this works on a vanilla Aria by the time mine arrives, I will gladly give it a try and report back asap.
This place is an amazing resource.

You can get a good nights sleep tonight. I have verified that taking your SIM out and connecting to the Android Market using Wifi will allow you to download EasyTether and install it on a stock Aria. I too had a big need to tether, but I was keeping my Samsung Jack in my computer bag for that very reason.
Now that I have EasyTether loaded on my Aria it works perfectly. I will probably end up buying the full version for $10.00 because I will need https support once the trial runs out.

Tom

And the crowd goes WILD!!!
Thanks Tom! (and all!)
Maybe this needs to be a sticky?
AFAIK.....this is the first real success of tethering

You are limited to USB tethering just so you know.

Thanks, yea, not a problem - I prefer USB. When I would BT tether with my Pure, it would run @ 2mps, USB brought it up to 10.

I to can confirm it works as well. Stock at&t rom, Vista 64. I also went to cnet's bandwith meter and pulled 395kbps... meh I'll take it.

Now I have my laptop which runs Fedora 11 connected via Easy Tether.
I used the ubuntu drivers from EasyTether's website and converted them to an .rpm using alien to install it on Fedora.
Thanks for posting the how-to's they led me in the right direction.

Look like this is the way to install any software in the marketplace that AT&T does not approve.

Amazin Find. I have wifi 90% of the places I go but this helps everyone else greatly!

I tried the same thing in Fedora 13, but things don't seem to be working. After converting .deb to .rpm and installing it (no errors showing), I tried:
# adb devices

HT06EHL07448 device

Click to collapse
Device (Evo 4G) is connected.
Then
# /usr/bin/easytether enumerate

So easytether sees it too.
However,
# /usr/bin/easytether connect

Click to collapse
Nada. I tried (in a different window)
# dhclient easythether0
Cannot find device "easythether0"

As stated, I'm connecting to an Evo instead of an Aria. Running Froyo supplied by Sprint/HTC. (Easytether's FAQ claims that it should work on Froyo too.)
Any suggestions?

i used pdanet to tethering with my GF aria the other day. Installation took a few minutes and worked great. The speed is much faster than the stock andriod browser.

[Q] Syndicate Rom 1.0.2 wireless tether error

So im on Syndicate rom 1.0.2 and i like it alot. its realy fast and smooth. but ever since moving from 1.0.1 the wireless tether app (3.0.9) doesnt work. When i launch the app and click to start tethering it starts initiating the process but freezes right where its trying to use the hotspot and then it makes the phone reboot. Any other verion of this app will FC. Can some one help please? i have reflashed the rom properly a few times and that didnt help. I also tried the tether fix file that k0nane had on his thread and didnt fix anything either. I tried downloading the hotspot fix from Syndicate page and those links dont work anymore. Can some one please help?
EDIT: i have it set on epic 4g in the settings.
Also does any one have a way to fix the tws bug? (i do know the airplane mode trick but was looking for a fix not a workaround)
thanks eveyone in advance....k0nane, thank you for your hard hard work bro

You mentioned 3.0.9 - I assume you mean -pre9. The version included in SRF is 3.0-pre11. You probably shouldn't have flashed that fix, either, because it was for 1.0.1 only.
I'd suggest you remove any copies of the Wireless Tether app you've installed, and reflash 1.0.2. You won't lose any data. See if it works for you then. If it doesn't, uninstall the preloaded version and try others. Wireless Tether is a finnicky beast, but that's expected - the 3.0 branch is experimental for a reason.

Thanks. I will try that and get back to you. And yes I meant the version that came with rom. I will try and get back to you.

Hey I tried everything in your instructions and still the same thing. I knw this wireless tether thing is in experimental stages but it worked fine on 1.0.1. I actually wasnt able to use the pre10 on that rom version so I had downloaded the 2.0.7 version and that worked fine. Do you think it might have to do with the hotspot app ? because i notice wireless tether freezes and phone reboots when its trying to launch hotspot. I notice from the notification when hotspot becomes activated the phone freezes and reboots..

Issue resolved
Well, thank you for your help again. After trying every thing from flashing the rom to uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app I got tired and almost gave up. Then I started playing with the app settings and it turns out that choosing the LG Optimus under Device-Profile is really stable and works the best for me, so far no issues.

I was going to say i had issues which were resolved by selecting EPic 4G(my phone ) in settings. I was able to launch and see it but did not have internet access until i selected my phone as well.

I also selected Samsung epic but this did not work for me. what worked was LG Optimus! it is strange but it works ;-)

I didn't have to do anything and it worked fine for me. I set up Security on it but that's it. Especially with all the ROM flashing I wonder why your phone seems especially finicky. Good luck.

I had errors similar to this when using the app, my problem was that I had 4G turned on already when launching the app. Turning 4G off, launching the app establishing a connection and THEN turning on 4G works perfectly though.

mine would not work either I went to settings and changed my device profile to epic 4g and my set up method to softtap for samsung. that seem to do the trick.

Are you on Stock kernel? You can try different kernels and see if that helps.
Alternatively, you can also try Barnacle Tether on the Market and see if that one works better.

You need to setup security within the app. Example. WEP - WPA - Password etc.

Where did you get the app from? The version in the market essentially never works on our devices. Try ones from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=1
different people have had differing luck with different ones, but I'd try the most-recent first, if you can't get it to work, try another. Also, I don't use wifi tether really (just tried it out) but it has never worked for me more than once after booting the phone. So I'd suggest at least rebooting between attempts.

thank you soooooooo much it worked

now that I got my tablet to pick up the wifi tether app the first time i activate the wifi tether it power cycles my device and then when i click it the second time it works but cant surf

the latest (3.0-pre14) works fine for me with one hitch- if you want to tether over 4g, you need to start wifi tether with 4g off, start the app, then start 4g (or the other way around- i always mess it up ). doing the other way forces a reboot on my phone.

I tried that one first and it would only do adhoc on the stock ROM.

Is possible to have this WiFi issue?

Hi!
Well, I have a very weird issue with custom ROMs and WiFi.
The history begins last sunday. I was using GingerDX wich is really great, but I had some problems with it, the most important was not being able to install apps in my SD card.
So, I switched to GingerXperia V22, this is a cool ROM too but I really don't like that my music lags when I turn my screen on. Also, the SE default dialer and Infinity view are bad and slow, but I didn't have the problem with WiFi, until I switched to XGin 6.2
Everything worked OK except for this:
El Brillantinas said:
I just realized a terrible and very weird error with this ROM:
I couldn't connect to The WiFi of my mate's office (where Im currently working). But the weirdest thing was the modem worked fine before trying to connect with my Xperia, but after turning the WiFi on, the modem just got busted and didn't work anymore!! So, no internet in the office computers, neither in my iPod, in my mate's smartphone, etc.! It was necessary to turn the modem off and then turning it on, and turning my X8's wifi off to make the modem working properly again.
Weird, huh?
I reflashed, and the error happened again.
So, I flashed back to the ROM I was using before (GingerXperia V22), and now the WiFi is working fine!
Anyone else with that same error or Im the only crazy around here?

I tried kuyaDROID and the same error happened.
I also did a full wipe... And nothing, the WiFi error remains on those two ROMs. So, Im currently using GingerXperia.
So, the question is: Is this really possible? And, is there any solution?

There may be some bug that's overloading it. Also was it the modem or the router? Cuz if it's wifi I would guess its the router but you said modem? I'd just use a different rom that works.

Guess is the router, where the wired networks are connected, it also gives the wireless signal.
As I said, Im sticking with GingerXperia, wich is not causing the error and Im connecting to WiFi with no problems. But I have personal problems with infinity view, SE's dialer and music lagging.
If is about a overloading bug, how could I fix it?
Im using stock kernel, btw.

To tell you the truth, I'm not actually that smart in this, but by overloading I meant that it might be trying to use too much data or something along that line, did it work fine over 3g?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA App

Yeah, I didn't have any problems with 3G.

Don't really have any idea then, I've had problems with mange one device at a time but not fully crashing. Last advice would be that maybe the router has a limit to the number of connected devices it can have and your phone puts it over, try disconnecting one device then connect your phone

To further assist you may I ask some questions;
1. What kernel are you using?
2. Have you tried connecting in other Access Point aside from the previous AP you are connecting with?
3. If using custom kernel did you delete all the modules in system/lib/modules?

1. Im in stock kernel.
2. Nope, I didn't try it. I don't have internet in home, but I'd try in my girl's house.
3. same answer than 1.
Thanks for being interested in this curious case.

If your using stock kernel then you shouldn't have to encounter those issues as most roms esp kuyadroid as you mentioned earlier is made for stock rom. I suggest trying into public wifi access and see if you could be able to connect. You have to have two or more access point to test with as router might have different configs than your girls setup.

CM9 by photon team on Bell Atrix - no wifi

I have N_01.77.33P radio flashed on my phone and I've attempted flashing CM9 it. It seems great however wifi is not working.
I can't post this on the original thread (10 posts threshold) but if anyone is facing same issues or if this has been reported already (couldn't find if anyone did), please let me know?
I have Jan/21 version on it.

You sure you installed the one for atrix and not sunfire (photon)?

Works fine on my Bell Atrix. Might be a dumb question, but did you re enter your wifi credentials after the flash? What exactly isnt working? You turn on wifi and you cant see any networks? or you cant connect to the internet once you are connected?

You have to reboot the phone after you turn on wifi. This only needs to be done after the initial install.
Once it reboot, wifi should work.

You're absolutely right. Guess I skipped this step... Who would figure you'd have to reboot after the first boot lol.

I had no problems at all with wifi. It worked on my first boot.
