This. Currently the RIL does not support the auth commands that Kineto requires to switch to GAN. So far no one from Samsung or Kineto has been willing to return contact requests either to get more info >.>

[Q] Wi-fi Hotspot in WP 7 ?

Do WP7 ROMS on HD2 have the Wi-Fi router option ? I mean not Wifi connection, but to give to other stations Internet...

Nope...not yet. It is very desired ability people are looking for though...I'm sure someone will develop something soon.
I really hope something is dev soon... I am currently using the risky DFRouter App. that could get me stuck in modem mode for ever & ever at any moment... Also it would be really great to have ad-hoc support... (in order to see & connect to ad-hoc signals) Take care everyone...

Officially supported in mango!
*bump*
wpcentral.com/mango-officialy-supports-internet-sharing-mobile-hot-spot-feature
Now that it is official, will we have this feature baked into custom roms? tried searching, but could not find anything related to it
I'm interested in this too! Its one of my biggest barriers from switching from android. I Frequently tether to use instant messaging and for evernote syncing when i'm out studying in places without wifi

Isn't that true for only real wp7 phones about getting stuck in modem mode?

Recommend unlocked android phone for tethering with x-former / @&T service

No-contract 3g phone not listed with @&T. I prefer to purchase rather than be tied to a contract.
Want easy tether capability with transformer. But don't care about latest and greatest.
So you have service with AT&T already then?
Best option would be to get a Nexus One AT&T version. With it's stock Android, it has built in free wifi tethering. You just need a regular data plan with AT&T obviously.
DELL Streak and probably Dell Venue I have to assume would fit also
Desire HD works great so it would be the thunderbolt in the USA or the HTC sensation
ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIMED
Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, I am already on @&T. I wouldn't use this feature except occasionally when traveling. Where I live does not even get 3 g yet. So I mostly use wifi with transformer. Occasional syncing calendar with google calendar is about the main use of "smart phone". Since I have transformer not much need of all the apps on the phone. Just like android so though I would upgrade from symbian.

Stop calling it "@&T" Because it's wrong either way "at and t" huh? It's A T & T, so if you want to make fun of AT&T at least do it right.

[WORKAROUND] Bypassing Tmobile's Anti Tethering Policy

Recently Tmobile finally started filtering their data and are attempting to prevent all users no matter the ROM or software on the phones from tethering their laptop to the phone.
As soon as you tether and try to view a webpage on your laptop, you will get redirected to a sales page, where TMobile tells you that you need to purchase an additional feature for $15 USD a month. This is outrageous considering you already pay for a certain ammount of data per month, and as long as you remain within that they are just being greedy and are nickle and diming us.
The workarounds / bypass are detailed here:

Using CyanogenMod 9 I tether just fine...
This just started today for me Ive tethered since cupcake just fine.. There are other reports too using Cyanogenmod or any other ROM will not help you when this rolls out to your area.

Cm9 here too, still blocked though
We ran into this problem several months ago but were using the LG Optimus T phone for tethering. It ran fine for a day or so and then we started getting the Tmobile message screen to upgrade. We had plenty of gigs left and couldnt figure out why we could no longer tether. We are heading on vacation next month and this will hopefully help us bypass Tmobile's junk. Haven't tried our Galaxy S2's yet so we may be worried all for nothing..
UPDATE: Tethering works great on the S2 thru Tmobile,.,,Hotspot does not. Got a screen on my phone for Tmobile to sign up for it monthly when I searched the Help link...laptop is asking for a Network Key to access the Hotspot...
Try the ClockworkMod tethering app.

HOW DO I TUNNEL!?!?!??!
I didn't have any trouble using USB or wifi tethering on my bone stock galaxy nexus, but they might not have rolled this system out back then. This is definitely good information though, the wife wants to use this when we're out on business.

You need a Virtual Private Network or VPN. I can't post links so you'll have to look it up yourself.
So I have a question for you guys...
I understand that I need to switch the user agent on my laptop when tethering, but what about when I tether to something like a Roku box or a Playstation 3?
The reason why only some people are having problems with the tethering is because T-Mobile is including hidden APN settings in the new software updates and the software on new devices. These hidden APNs helps T-Mobile detect tethering. Go to this thread to see what I mean, also you can PM the OP and he can tell you exactly what he had to do, I think he had to decompile the framwork,apk or framwork.jar one and remove them from there I can not remember exactly.
Edit:
GROGG88 said:
I will gladly discuss it here... Both Elegancia 3.0.0 and version B of my rom are using resources from 3.32.401.105 in order to achieve two functions:
1. Unlock APNs
2. Provide leedroid tweak compatibility
The only problem with this is the fact that they are no longer "true tmous builds". I refer to them as "franken-builds"... I have not gone through all the differences between framework-res, systemui, framework.jar, services.jar, etc... but I can tell you that certain small bugs have been reported with the xe build that others have reported as fixed in the official tmous version.
The APNs are written to apns.xml within the framework-res.apk. This is why we used XE components to unlock the APNs at first. You can distinguish what roms are built this way by the framework version:
TMOUS: 20120412.202737
XE: 20120321.232857
My unlocking mod is the stock TMOUS framework-res.apk, but it has the apns.xml from XE. This ensures that the rest of the rom stays in tact and that no bugs will be induced by mixed resources... I've also included this mod as an option during install on version A of my rom.

Just so I am clear...the way T-Mobile is doing this is by seeing the user agent of the browser. Since I tether my Galaxy Tab Wifi to my Gnex from time to time I should be in the clear correct? Since I am not using a browser on a laptop, but rather on another Android device.
Thanks for the post, will try this out
Wait...so what if I use a desktop user agent from a mobile browser to grab the full page. That's going to get blocked as well...?
I got that problem with my new Galaxy S2... luckily the rom I flashed took care of that problem.

Just tested. It works on almost all of the UserAgents becauses Chrome/IE/FireFox.. Hell IPad even works. You should be fine for now. I hope they stick to this solution instead of going to more preventive measures because this is easily bypassed.. My Skype/Steam/Trillian/AIM/etc all still connect perfectly even without bypassing because it's only blocking Desktop useragents. The stupidest part of this is requesting the desktop version of sites like on the Google Chrome Android browser results in the blocked page as well.. :|
Nexus S Stock
I have a Nexus S and I have gotten all my updates are via T-mobile OTA updates, however I have never had a problem tethering.

None of your updates have been from T-Mobile. All those OTA updates came straight from Google. One of the things that ended with the nexus s was that the carriers weren't allowed to really touch the phone at all. As such, T-Mo never sold it in their stores. You could get it at Best Buy, etc, but not at official stores.
I believe this only works if you bought the device from T-mobile right? since i can tether on my iPhone just fine (althought on 2G/EDGE) I can't confirm it with android though, but if they are ruling this all over the network we're gonna have a bad time.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is with T-Mo-sourced devices specifically (as in, you got it at the T-Mo store or it has the T-Mo logo on the phone itself).
Also, nice South Park reference. ".....you're gonna have a BAD time!"

[Q] Making Cellular Calls On 3G Nexus 7 32gb?

Hi Guys!
I've just picked up a Nexus 7 32gb 3g and it's amazing to say the least. I can't believe for something just over £200 I have a full up to date android experience with premium hardware. Anyway what I was wondering was could I use this device to replace my recently broken Samsung Galaxy S1 (i9000). By which I mean make calls over 3g cellular. I want to pop in a contract sim and just use the minutes and texts of that and I was wondering whether it was possible?
I've done my research and apparently it's as simple as just copying over the default phone apk and it should work although I'm a bit skeptical as I've only seen one thread about. So what do I need to do to make cellular calls on the Nexus 7?
Regards,
Enya
P.S. I don't mind holding a 7" tablet to my face to make calls, I'd probably just use hands free anyway, and I don't mind rooting or flashing roms.
sorry for the off topic
but where did you get your 32gb 3g from - as ive only seen pc world, currys etc selling the wifi only for 200 pound...
would also like to know about the sim card and making calls / texts with the 3g model
thanks

you said you just picked up? how did u get it direct?
N7+3g will sell in uk! Check it via proxy 62.233.100.46:80
I am also looking for an answer to this question, i can't find any answers, would you be able to try the phone apk and report back. I am not sure if you need rot access to do that.
Also interested, if only because the carrier that my SIM comes from occasionally requires me to make a call to their automated attendant when their online management tool isn't working.
Metaphorically speaking, Oh and yeah I'm probably going to try the phone.apk although I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or anything?
Oh and to put the phone.apk app back on I think you'll either need root access or ABD, but don't take my word for it, I'm no expert lol,
Uh-oh, just read that the N7 3G support won't be in AOSP for now because they weren't able to licence the GSM stack for AOSP
Wait, so you can't just push it into a system app i=in adb by extracting it from another phone that's running AOSP?

No idea. As of yet the only AOSP phone with 4.2 is the GNex (Nexus 4 is not in AOSP yet either due to the same licensing issue).
And unless devs find a clever workaround, N73G isn't going to get the same scope of ROMs as the wi-fi version until they sort out the licensing.
Any results yet?
enya123101, did you try the phone.apk ? I'm really eager to find out if the NExus 7 can make phone calls and I can't find answers anywhere
please let us know
Please don't keep us in suspense. This data is what I need to determine between the Nexus 7 or the 10. I find it odd that this question is not being ask more on the net. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958686 is the only other thread really that's asking this question and not just some random mentioning of it in a sea of Nexus 7 threads out there.
Thanks again for being the guinea pig.
you can not just push phone.apk in fact your device ALREADY has phone.APK and if you try to push it then you will receive the message "you are replacing a system app.
the reason you cant USE or SEE it is because of the way our framework.res is compiled and it is not set as a phone device it is set as tablet among other settings that are different as well.
its not that easy but hopefully once its out in full force then developers will figure out a way perhaps with custom roms that allow it.
any info yet
like the others real interested to see some results
This thread is redundant... Go to

So you mean it cannot be used as regular phone? I live in Germany and I have been trying to use it as a phone from yesterday. It isn't possible I guess. Can I use diverting calls to Yuilop? Please guide.
I am also searching the answer for the same question just posted for more attention.
please look at this link it shows that it should work with cellular network. I didn't won the device but im searching for the answer for the same question. posted so more people will make attention and probably it reaches to concern pple.

Indeed, the Wi-Fi and BlueTooth tethering is not working here either. It worked well on the Stock ROM though, so I don't believe it's caused by the provider.
I hope this can be fixed, I read somewhere else I might have to do with the tether_dun_required setting in settings.db -> global.
OK, this is useful info. It was not working on I9300 and I had no way at all to test that (the only 4412 device I have is wifi-only) - but later this week I can investigate tethering issues on N7000 if it's also problematic. Just need to find my microsim adapter...

I was going to work on it over the holidays, but among the things I forgot to bring with me was the SIM adapter for my N7000. Tethering works fine on all of the other devices I own.
I've got a number of ideas why, although the fact that BT tethering is ALSO failing indicates it's something different from what I'm used to in the past... That's new information.

Odd, someone else claimed it was not working... They might be on one of the providers where tethering is blocked. (There's a commit going through review to remove a bunch of those blocks...)
So it seems to be something odd with all of the Samsung Exynos4 devices, not sure what yet... Every change that SHOULD be required seems to be there, but we're obviously missing something.

Thanks for the tip - I knew there was some stuff in frameworks/base related to tethering, I just hadn't had the time to look into it in detail.
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/4215/ might fix things for people, not sure.
