You got it... Nice and easy the way it should be. Hopefully one day USB tethering gets incorporated into this app.

Just hangs for me at 'start tethering' screen.. I have root and I gave it SU access when it asked..

Yea or one day http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/ this works

hmm... Interesting Cause I was just able to play WoW while tethering and was able to watch a youtube video full screen hd even though had to give it time to buffer some

-pre4 is working great for me! You need root, but once the app loads, tap the middle of the wireless symbol (you should get an SU prompt) and connected my computer. Posting this from my netbook tethered to my Vibrant with this app.
Hmm... disabling tethering gives me a screen with on and off icons and a message saying that the phone's state is unknown and I should try rebooting. It's working fine though, I connected back up to the wifi network here and all is well.

Well it is a pre - but i had the same problem on pre3 but not more on this pre4.
Maybe dumb question but you sure you got the right one?

Yep, pre4.

Pre5 works for me. Can stop and restart tethering without having to restart.

This us what I'm seeing on pre 5. I found that when it says phone state unknown with the on and off icons that tethering is still active as the ap still shows up in my wifi network list.

I take it you'd need to root first before using this app? Wasn't sure since you don't have to root with pdaNet.

We have three Vibrants and the app worked fine on two of them. However, my wife's phone would lock up when trying to start tethering. We also noticed her phone was generally slower than our other two Vibrants. We returned the phone yesterday and exchanged it, but I haven't tried tethering with the new one. My wife wants to use it for a while without rooting it.

Uninstalling and re-installing makes it work for me now (still using pre4)

Pre5 works fine for me, no difficulties experienced. Tethered to an iPod Touch using Wi-Fi

Nice this works great for me. I'm currently on Windows XP and a pc. Thanks.

Not working on mine. Followed the instructions in this thread and no luck. Tried 3 different ones and still notta. Can anyone help?

Awesome, works like a champ

4g connects but no data transfer

Edit: the problem is with my 4g, not pdanet. On my phone itself with 4g on I can't load any webpages or get any other data connection. Worked last Friday, and haven't made any changes to the phone. Running burnt 1.3 with net 421 smartass nohavs.

Try reinstalling the pdaNet on both the phone and computer.
If still nothing, try turning your phone off then back on.
Sometimes people never turn their phones off.
Hope this helps.

i am one of those people who never turn off their phones >.>
anyway I had to reinstall it on the pc today anyway. It decided to not work anymore v.v havent reinstalled on my phone yet though.

Bump for edit

I have the same problem. I don't use pdanet. I can connect to the 4G network but I cant load a webpage or download anything. Basically no data transfer. I took it to a Sprint store and they are just going to replace the phone.

Transfer that's the word i was looking for
I'm going to reflash the wimax radio when I get home and my phone isn't dying, i'd hate to have to replace the phone.

Bah, reflashing the radio didn't help. Anyone got any ideas?

I am having the same problem with mine. It was working up until a few weeks ago, but now I can connect but it is painfully slow to load web pages. The page loads like 3/4's of the way, and then hangs for the rest of the page. The last 1/4 of loading takes a few minutes. That isn't even on a graphic-heavy page.
I am able to tether on my laptop though.
I am on OMJ's ROM, and have the most up-to-date radios that I know of

I've had this problem before too and the only way I found to fix it was to un-root and flash the stock rom. Then check if it works.
If it does work, root and flash a rom, I used sprint lovers rom and I didn't have any 4G issues with loading pages.....

Same here....recent issue....not sure what's up. Could be the network and not the phone maybe....what area are you trying to connect to 4g?
sent from my brain through my fingers through multiple electronic devices to your brain

Buddy I work with has an evo too and connected just fine standing next to me.
I can't imagine it fried the radio itself since it connects fine.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well that blows....
i dont' have another evo to test it with....so I was HOPING it was a network thing....but I'm thinking it's not.
I checked my RSA keys.....they're still good.....
I have a NANDROID backup from a while ago when my 4g was still working...I'll flash it the next time I get to a 4g area and see if that fixes the problem.
I haven't touched my phone in terms of mods in over 2 months...so I'm wondering what the hell happened. I hate when **** like this just comes out of nowhere.
Please let me know via this thead if you have any new news.

new WiMax update is out in the dev forums. I'm going to flash now and see if it fixes my problems when i'm at work later (sidenote: my town has 4G, i just cant get it to connect at my house damn....trees)

Well I'm at a different place than normal but after flashing the new radio 4g is working.

I found out that my issue here was the app adfree.... if I stopped using that app, webpages on 4g load fine.

.....did nothing and 4g is working now....
aside from poking around in the adb shell to see if my RSA keys and MAC were still in tact (which they are)...my 4g started working again all by itself.
it was down for a week....and by "down" I mean that I could connect absolutely fine....get an IP....but could not transfer ANY data up or down. I did reboot serveral times while it was not working and that didn't fix the issue either.
Whatever....as long as it's working again...

Hmm i've been using adfree too but it didn't cause any problems. I agree Dell, as long as it's working.

Skype voice working on streak

Hi all, I'm planning on switching over to the streak, and have searched for this but the "answers" I found aren't conclusive or dont really apply. Here's my background. I am currently grandfathered with ATT on an unlimited PDA personal data plan, with no voice. (i have a business cell for voice and ATT's network is faster and is perfect in the areas I visit, as well as my home which is the reason I opted not to get a voice plan since id rarely use it) So SOMETIMES I use skype (i have a skype out accout and skype #) to make voice calls if I leave my business cell at home/batt dies or whatever. My question is,
1: does the skype app work to make phone calls, (without frezing the phone). I do not need video chat, I just want voice calls to work. Also if it does work, what rom does it work on well? I not afraid of rooting and moding the device, im coming over from the Captivate which basically needed custom roms to function the way it SHOULD.
Q2: how well would you say gps and wifi tether work on whichever rom you recommend? Turn by turn nav work fluidly, or does it randomly throw you in the woods/ half a mile away like my Captivate?
Thanks in advance!

I've downloaded and installed Skype but haven't tried using it yet. With Rogers (Canada) official 2.2 ROM, Skype showed up in the Market, which it didn't when it was under 1.6

I have owned many android phones and i must say that the streak works great with skype. I've been talking for over an hour yesterday and i didn't have any issues (both 3g and wifi). 10+ for Streak
For gps navigation i use Copilot and works great also. My rom 2.2 - 318 EU

Doesn't work for me on 3G. Says not supported on 3G. Rather annoying.

Do a bit of googling and you'll find a "cracked" version of Skype that'll work over 3G.
Edit: It's here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html

Am surprised you cannot use Skype over 3G. The version I got from Market works over 3G ... Perhaps your carrier blocks it?

I should have specified, I am in the US on AT&T and they block it from being able to make voice calls over 3g. I tried the cracked version because thats what I used on my old Captivate and it didnt work on the streak. Depending on which cracked version you download, one doesn't even run (i believe the one intended for non-rooted/for people with preinstalled skype already on their phones) and the other package with is intended for rooted users: when I make a call it says call ended right away, then i try to make another call and skype tells me i have to hang up my other call before I make a new one. Kind of disapointing :/

in the us its limited to wifi only to appease to the carriers. or so they say, i think its because skype doesnt want to upgrade their systems to handle the traffic. att used to be able to block skype from using 3g on the iphone, and now the iphone is capable of calling and video chat on 3g while android users get no love. tbh, i dont care if i have to use wifi but i really do want video chat.

Try oovoo. It sounds lame but works beautifully both voice and video. Much much better than Skype on android, which never worked for me on any handset.

Skype on my streak works over 3G no issues... BT headset wont work though...

I just downloaded and installed Skype from the Market. I unlocked my Streak and am using a T-Mobile SIM (data only). When I tried to make a call to one of my Skype contacts I got the message 'In the U.S., you can only make Skype calls over Wi-Fi.'
P.S. My Streak is so far unrooted...I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Trick phone into thinking it's on wifi.

Is there a way I can trick my phone into thinking it on wifi when it's not?

I don't know how to trick phone, but I am on verizon's skype, the one with white icon, not blue, well, it allows to make skype calls without Wi-Fi by default.

Google skype hack for android. This is a version somebody moded so it works on either wifi and/or 3g, so you are always on. I have it and works like a charm.

Galaxy S2 Problems on Rogers Network - Canada

1. MMS stops working by itself, after factory reset starts working again. No settings are being changed.
2. Bluetooth connection to my car Audi Handfree is very unreliable and causes network connection to stall, no data and calls go straigh to voicemail.
3. Call waiting stoped working. Everytime i get a second call my primary call mutes and I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. By switching back and forth between callers I am able to hear first caller again.
All of these issues are solved by factory reseting the phone.
Does anyone have a clue why is this happening?
Using latest KE7 software.

I am on rogers and are having no issues with my phone that you are having... Maybe you got a bad phone?

Can you check if your mms messaging work?

On Rogers in Southwestern Ontario. I don't use MMS, so I don't have much experience with that.
I have used by SGS2 with BT Audio and calls on an Alpine KCE-400BT (Parrot unit rebranded as Alpine) and a Sony Xplod unit without any unusual behaviour
Haven't used call waiting other than by accident, no experience there either.

Hi I'm on Rogers is Windsor, I don't use MMS or bluetooth, but I use call waiting very often and not once as it messed up on me.

Anyone using Rogers having problems with digital call display? Whenever someone calls me it comes up as "unknown" but my account has digital call display on it.

I have seen name display work fine on my phone.it's a fantastic feature!

Anyone using Rogers having any data stalling/dropping issues? It seems like every time I go into an area with no signal (subway or elevator for example) it just doesn't seem to connect back onto the network fully. Even though it will say 3G, the data connection is actually dead and I usually have to wait a while or cycle airplane mode to get it back.
I'm using the KE4 radio. If you guys are having no problems, could you tell me which ROM and radio (baseband) you're using? Also, if fast dormancy is enabled or disabled? You can check with dialing *#9900#. Also, which APN you're using for data? Is it the internet.com one or the rogers-core-appl1.apn?
Thanks

I just got a Bell SGS2 yesterday and rooted/unlocked it. I'm having 2 problems to date:
1) GPS cannot fix. I can be in view of 12 satellites, but it just won't fix.
2) My SMS timestamps are screwed up. Every message comes in with a stamp of 4 hours earlier.
Anyone else having these problems?
EDIT: Oddly enough, MMS works AND the timestamp is correct.

Hi guys, how did you get it to unlock to work on rogers? I have tried the free app on the market but that doesn't work out for me.
I have rooted the phone already.

Instead of getting the Galaxy S2 unlock app from the market, get the Galaxy_S app. It'll crash the phone at step 2, but it'll be unlocked after it reboots!

I haven't had this problem with my SGS2, but I've had it with previous Android and Windows phones. It is a known bug.
Apparently the problem isn't present when using Handcent SMS (which is really good anyways) or you can use this program designed specifically to fix the problem.

NTT works on completely different frequencies....there is no way it'd work here. If you want a phone that'd work in Japan then you'd need to buy one here and get a Softbank SIM card while in Japan.
