[Q] wireless tether to ps3

Can anyone help me figure out how to wirelessly tether to my ps3 the app won't work

Completely the wrong section.
First of all, if you have a ROM and kernel compatible with Wireless Tether, all you should have to do is turn it on and the PS3 will see it.
Second, it's going to be an awful experience if you're expecting to game over this connection... You'll lag like a sonuvabitch.

The PS3 cannot view an ad-hoc connection.
And no, you won't lag... I play Xbox 360 nightly on a 3G connection. There isn't even a need to turn 4G on.
To the ORIGINAL QUESTION, the only way you'll be able to wireless tether with your PS3 is if you connect to your phone with your laptop, then reroute the connection as an access point to your ps3. Look into programs like "Connectify".

Thanks a lot

False, You can just Flash the Mobile AP 9000 app also here in the developer section. Its creates a true wifi connection, not and ad-hoc connection.

You need to be on a stock, odex'd rom. Deodex'd ROMs do not work. I would say that Wired Tether to a laptop with Connectify is a better solution.

Konane...is there any chance of releasing an odexed ver of ure rom so this mobile ap wud work?

Not sure what kind of crazy lucky internet connection city you live in, but my 4g upload speeds are faster than my home internet upload speeds. Download speeds do not matter since they so far exceed what is needed. I live in Houston and yes we have pretty slow internet here.

Does the wired tether get a better connection than the ad hoc? I know for me a mobile ap tether gets a faster connection than ad hoc for me.

Yes it is, but the iPod Touch has no problem with those... Neither does the X-Box.
Ps3 and Wii seem to not want to support it.

With a rom that is not Deodexed you can use the MobileAP posted in the dev forum. I run my wii off of it on occasion.

Reverse USB tethering on motorola atrix on windows XP

Hey guys just curious if there is a solution to reverse tether via usb on the motorola atrix. I've searched every post imaginable but nothing works for the Atrix. Come on XDA turn water in wine for me
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I was wondering how to tether via usb normally, I can't seem to find an option anywhere on my AT&T branded Atrix

It should be in your list of apps... there should just be an app called "Tethering" to preform your task. It's super simple to use as well just click of the "USB Tethering" option and your done but for further detail on tethering try just going in google and typing USB tethering on windows XP.
Sorry I would post a link to a good site but I'm a newbie and I need to do 8 posts before I can post links to external websites.
If you don't have the APP let me know and I'll find a way to get it to you.
But someone please help me out with my problem...
Thanks,
Ghettosean

ahh I see, unfortunately I don't have it and I assume it's because I'm running gingerblur without bloatware.. Would be great if you could somehow get it too me and in relation to your problem I don't think it would be easily possible unless you used wireless. Ad-hoc network with internet connection sharing.

What? did I get ripped off? I haven't seen an app for tether that came with my phone. If that is true, then all the time the DEV's put into hacking to get it working was for not? use the search and look for tethering. the answer is close to what you said, but does not involve an "app". It is a setting within the wireless network settings, but selecting it alone does not get you tethering.

Ahh I have seen wireless tethering (but use barnacle instead) I was curious about USB tethering though

Maybe I am not understanding what your question. tethering is usually referring to being able to use the phone as an access point so you can surf the web from your computer using the phone as a "modem". what are you wanting to do with reverse tethering? If you are wanting to do what i described, go into the development threads and look for ARoot or gladroot. also I think most of the roms have this built in now also.

By reverse tethering I mean the opposite of what you have described and that is to use the internet provided on the computer onto your phone. This can be done and I will do it with red hat linux I'm positive that I can get this to work but to get this to work on windows XP is a different challenge with the Atrix in particular.
If anyone has any information please help a brother out!

I don't know about USB tethering, but if your computer has a wireless adapter you could use it to create an ad hoc network to which your phone could connect. You could then use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows to bridge your internet connection to your wireless one. That way your Atrix could use your computer's interntet connection wirelessly!

True but as far as reverse usb tether. I don't know about android but with winmo just by having the phone synced would allow for this. Have you tried the medi sync or any of the other option when you connect via usb to see if they allow for this?

if what you want is to find workaround of WiFi problems on unlocked Atrix, you'd better look for AT&T SIM (even nonworking, just to report the phone it's operator ID - there are lot at eBay). Currently this is the best solution. Also, member crnkoj is developing the solution HERE, but it is very complicated for now.
Old trusted WinMo born when WiFi on phone was just a miracle, so it was able to get internet through USB, but Android never dreamed there is an AT&T whith its stupid intervention in phone firmware.

Thanks for all the replies... I've found a solution and I can actually reverse tether over USB two different ways and I will share my findings in a week... I have one last snag. Full internet access but I can't download apps from the market even though I took down my firewall on windows... Give me one more week but if anyone has a solution to that new problem that doesn't include opening port 5228 let me know. Cheers!!!

Solution
Hey all... I'm still having no luck downloading from the market or using other internet apps but browsing on the web seems to be fine with reverse usb tethering. here's what I have done:
1. I connect to my laptop via usb and I start up regular usb tethering (as if I'm going to give internet to my computer from my phone)
2. When I complete step 1 on the windows computer I see a new network icon pop up representing my atrix as an RNDIS networking device
3. From here in windows I right click on the internet connection that is providing the internet to the laptop or computer and select properties from here I click on the advanced tab and check the box that allows "internet connection sharing" there is also a dropdown to pick which networking device you want to share with I select the networking device that represents the atrix and click ok.
4. From here I restart my internet connection and then I right click on the internet connection for the atrix and select properties. On the general tab I select internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click the properties button and change my ip address manually and pick --> 192.168.2.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then click ok and ok again
5. From here I start adb shell (or you can use terminal on your phone if you wish) and type the following
su (to go into root or super user mode)
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev usb0
setprop net.usb0.dns1 192.168.2.1
setprop net.dns1 192.168.2.1
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""
after this ping www.yahoo.ca to be sure everything is working properly and if you get a response your good to go.
I'm assuming that everyone who is using these instructions has android sdk installed and there windows machine recognises the adb drivers for there phone as i'm convinced this will work with any android phone not just the atrix and I will test to confirm.
I wrote up these instructions pretty quick and I'll probably shorten them up as there is a few unessesary parts in the script for adb shell but everything will work and you should be able to but this will only allow you to use the internet and browse the internet with your phone this will not allow the market and other internet apps to work if anyone finds a solution to this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers all and ANDROID RULES!!!

usb tethering rocks

something my last desire never had and something i didn't even know the ns had. after completely screwing up the build system on ubuntu here, it was something i desperately needed. my wifi drivers are borked, so i can't access wifi and was considering a complete reformat, until i noticed the menu option...
thank you ns!

Yeah pretty sweet, i use the portable hto spot option quite a bit , very nifty indeed

btw: is there something like tho opposite of that? sharing a wired pc internet connection with the ns via usb.

Yes. You connect the USB to your nexus s. Then you don't turn on the USB storage. Go to settings wireless options and click on tether.

uhm no - that's regular tethering, isn't it? I meant the other way around. The pc is plugged in to wired internet. And I want to use that for surfing on the phone without having wifi or mobile data activated

Hmm maybe a dev will get on top of this

Oh ic. Sorry. I read that wrong. I don't think There is a simple way to do it. I remember there's a program that lets you turn your laptop into a wireless router. You plug in the Ethernet to your laptop and use the program to transmit the radio like a router. You can probably then use the phone's wifi to connect to that. Ive never tried it but theoretically it should work. Good luck

ehmm...
usb tethering is not something like
" i connect my laptop with the usb port of my NS that(my phone) has internet access over the mobile network and i can use that on my laptop either"??
i mean wi-fi tethering is "sharing" phone's internet connection with other phones/wi-fi enabled devices to access the internet via wireless connection...
so usb tethering should be the same but with cable obviously..
or am i getting something wrong here?

no. that's a hotspot. meaning devices connect to your ns like a router. you can even set a password and session id for your phone

[Q] No DUN no ADHOC rant.....Honeycomb 3.1?

So all of our phones with Wifi hotspot features create an ADHOC connection which Honeycomb does not support. Same goes with Bluetooth, no DUN. Google what the hell? Ya ya,carriers this and carriers that but what about people paying for hotspot features on the phone. I have customers that I need to setup to pair with the TF but it seems nothing will work without rooting and that can be phone specific. So the TF is great as long as you are close to a WIFI connection is supports?
If I'm missing something someone please fill me in.

I am using the hotspot feature on my Evo, and I've been tethering to it at work since the day I got my Transformer. I'm not doing anything special, just turning on the hotspot and letting the TF connect. Now, my Evo is rooted with a ROM that "unlocks" the hotspot functionality so I'm not paying extra, and I'm not using the Wireless Tether app, but it's the same concept.

The hotspot feature on your ROM is supporting a true wifi connection and not peer to peer adhoc. I can't always root customers phones.
~DC

I may be misunderstanding how it works, but this isn't a wireless tether baked into the ROM, it's the built-in Sprint hotspot feature that I'm using, just unlocked so I don't have to pay extra. If someone was paying for the hotspot feature on Sprint, they wouldn't need root, but maybe this is only the case with Sprint's implementation.

i was able to do both wifi and bluetooth tethering. took me a while to figure out, (since i've never done it before, less due to the difficulty of doing it)
assuming the phone supports Bluetooth tethering, it should always work.

I have a DroidX and I can tether using the built in stock Hotspot feature or with Bluetooth. However, I can't tether using an ad hoc connection because I get an error stating that the device doesn't support ad hoc connections...
So, it is definitely device specific and it will be something the carriers remove as many report being able to do so with root (my device is rooted and I can't connect via ad hoc - although, I haven't d/l or tried out the pdaNet app).
I will also add that the bluetooth tethering has worked MUCH better than the wifi - easier/faster to connect, runs pretty fast, and my phone doesn't overheat as much....

Works fine with my evo. The Evo has proper infrastructure wifi hotspot.
Maybe the users need to update their phones?

I went into a store to try a tf and there was no internet so I turned on my WiFi hotspot on my sgsII and it worked perfectly fine, not sure if that's the same as you're asking but that works.

a lot of clarification
Hi all,
I need your help, understanding ... well everything about wifi/TF/WM6.5/adhoc and whatever the other connection is?
I don't think of myself as a noob, but to be honest I'm lost with the wifi on the TF. So here it goes: I have TF and HD2. Under WM6.5 I can't get the TF to see the shared internet through the "wifi router" application on the phone. But then I run a custom Desire HD ROM and this one (can't remember the application) shares and gives access to the TF?!?!
First off, which is which? Which is adhoc and which is infrastructure? And what is the difference (sorry i did look on the internet, but that got me confused even more because I could not see any difference). Are you saying that a standard (not rooted Android) will have the same problem? I was thinking of switching to an android phone so that I can get the easy sharing option, but if I have to root a brand new phone????
Any help will be appreciated,
rio

Easy way to tether off a rooted phone.
Install one of the older versions of wireless tether that supports bluetooth.
Turn on the bluetooth DUN on wireless tether.
Hit ok when it asks to turn on Bluetooth and make discoverable.
On the transformer go to settings-wireless-bluetooth
Scan for your device and pair.
Once paired you should see a little wrench next to your device, click on it
Under Profiles, it should show tethering with a checkbox. Click this and in a few seconds Wireless tether should buzz its connected and off you go.
I've been able to tether my transformer like this since out of the box.
Edit - BTW I've tried this with PDAnet and other non rooted tehtering programs, and I couldn't get it to work with those options. Just FYI

the difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure is the way devices communicate.
infrastructure is kinda like the way we send messages via the post office. we send it to a central place, then it figures out how to deliver the message. this is how true routers operate
ad-hoc is peer-to-peer. imagine passing notes back in elementary school.
( Do you like me [yes] [no] )
some phones comes with a tethering app without having to root, but this typically requires you to pay extra fee to your carrier ($30 for sprint)
if you don't want to pay that, then you have to root your phone to either get a rom that already supports infrastructure mode, or download an app that does. [ ie Wifi Tether ]

You are right. I put Honeycomb 3.1 in the title but forgot to mention in the OP if anyone heard that 3.1 would have support for DUN or Ad Hoc.

I personally have not used that specific app but most phones support netive tethering (or sharing your broadband, if that floats your boat). I personally recomend FoxFi, an app developed by the makers of PDAnet, a reliable tethering app. Search the Play Store on YOUR COMPUTER first. Some carriers block the app from showing. Have fun and don't get caught.

He wants to use his cable/dsl connection on his phone, not the other way around.
Connectify might work if you have a Wi-Fi adapter on your PC. But it would probably just be easier to get a wireless router.
