I've been searching on xda and google how to use CM tethering on my G1 to my Mac. I cannot figure it out for the life of me, that is why I am posting this. Is there a step by step for the mac? If so, can someone please help me out?
I'm not sure what you mean by CM tethering. Maybe Cyanogen Mod?
Anyway Tethering is pretty easy with a PC.
Root put on a tethering app. The last five ROMS I flashed on my MT3G had the app built in. Currently using Super-D. Should be the same for a G-1.
Open the app. By default it's wifi, although you can configure Bluetooth. But Wifi doesn't require pairing.
Just start the tethering app on the phone and it becomes an access point. Just like a wireless router.
So on the PC I search for wireless signals and find the one with my phones name and connect. I could add security if I wanted, but rarely do.
So if you can connect to a router with a Mac I guess you could tether.
I'm just assuming of course because I've touched a Mac for about 3 minutes in my life.
I don't know if that will help you at all. I'm assuming you've rooted and installed cyanogen? I think his apps come in an accessory pack or something. Cyanogen is honestly more complicated for me to install that Super-D or WG which have everything all in one for the most part. Sometimes they need ringtones.
Anyway do you have a 'Tethering App' on your phone? It looks like a green wedge.
I think OSX lacks the drivers for wired tethering (includes the settings option), but you might have luck with the wireless tethering app.
I have a Mac. Just use a wireless tether app. When you turn it on your phone will act as a wireless router. Get your Mac to scan for wireless networks and you should find one that says G1 Tether. Connect to it and you should be good to go. This is all I have ever done and I have never had any problems.

So like I said, it should be just as simple as on a PC.
Assuming the OP has rooted his G1.
(Except you can't do it through USB)
yeah i always use the wireless tether for root users app at work, it works just fine for me =], in all of about 2-3 clicks isntant internet =]
same for me
I have a Mac. Just bought it like, 3 days ago. It was Tethering very well until 7 hours after I bought it, and now it doesn't connect to my G1. Any help?
Hi,
I know the phone is capable of doing both, and there are software/apps to do each function seperatly. But is there an app that does both for android phones?
I know Froyo has this capability built in... and will mostly likely be removed by samsung/tmobile. But here's hoping!
Thanks.

well you can do WiFi using either Wireless Tether or Barnacal. You can get Barnacal on the market. As for USB, thats prob not going to happen till we get some custom roms. For that you would need to alter the Kernal and firmware to acheive this.

I can't get barnicle or android wifi tether to work for more than a few minutes on my vibrant... Anyone else with more success?
You can USB tether your SGS to your computer out of the box. No rooting, no nothing.

Ugh. Barnacle Legacy works perfectly as does the newest version of Wifi tether.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes but there aren't any apps that do both?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
Dang, both Barnacle and Wifi tether are giving me fits today. I know both of these are in active development, with new releases every other day it seems.
I am using the latest Barnacle available in the market, Version 24 as reported by the "Manage Applications" under settings. I don't see an "About" screen in the application, so I don't know what the *real* version is.
As for Wireless Tether, I am using version 23 as reported my the "manage applications" under settings, or 2.0.5-pre6 as reported by the About screen.

This method of tethering on Windows 7 works flawlessly. I've had issues using the Kies method and this fires up right away. It seems to be a little slower than the old wired tether app for my G1, but that could also be because I was tethering on the train in crappy weather. Barnacle works awesome on Windows if you follow these directions:
Baranacle Wifi Settings:
1. Change SSID - [User Preference]
2. Change Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK
5. Restart Phone As Desired
Settings For Windows:
Open cmd.exe as administrator
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1250 store=persistent
This is assuming your wireless network adapter is called "Wireless Network Connection"
Yeah, I have done all that and I am getting lots of errors:
NAT Restart: Network is down
And then a bunch of these:
Getting netmask of eth0 failed: cannot assign requested address
Followed by a couple instances of
NAT Restarting Now
NAT waiting for local interface
And yes, I have positively confirmed that I set the MTU on my computer.
And the Wireless Tether program now just run and then hangs. No FC, no nothing. When you press the big green icon to start the tether, you get the little animated spinner which freezes after a couple of seconds.
I'm trying to install Kies now.
I don't recommend installing Kies if you just want to USB tether. It's over 280 mb and the program itself kept crashing on me.
Just install the official drivers from Samsung's website then create a DUN connection based on the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737744.
Also, the official drivers on Samsung's download section are not up to date. The latest drivers are in the Kies install. I've zipped them up for x86 Windows users and put them online. You can download the zip and extract the files to your \Windows\System32\Drivers folder.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9387307/x86 Vibrant drivers from Kies.zip
for USB tether, I use PdaNet, it is super simple, no configuration needed on the phone or the computer... it works super fast and I've had no issues, just download the PdsNet desktop client and install on your PC and the PdaNet from the android market and done... you will be up and running in 5 minutes or less
That was perfect.
Posting over the DUN connection now. Thanks!
There multiple threads dealing with how to get Bluetooth tether to work here is how.
First you need a rooted Android phone.
You must have a phone that running a kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" compiled into the kernel you are using.
Otherwise it won't work.
1. Download Android Wifi Tether App version 2.0.7 (do not download higher versions because bluetooth option is not there.
2. Go to your phone turn on bluetooth.
3. Go to your TF -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Enable Bluetooth.
Then in TF make Discoverable under Bluetooth Settings.
4. Now you can pair the phone with the TF by scanning for device under your phone.
Hit confirm to pair on both devices. You will notice that both devices will show the other device as "paired but not connected."
5. You need to now go to Wireless & networks settings under the TF -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable Bluetooth tethering.
6. Now go to the Wireless Tethering app on your phone. Menu -> Settings -> Enable Use Bluetooth, Enable Discoverable, Enable Access-Control
7. Exit out of the Settings in the Wireless Tethering app. Enable Bluetooth Tether.
8. Go back to the TF under Bluetooth Settings you should be able to tap the your phone device and get the tethering option.
9. You may need to allow the TF on your phone's Wireless Tethering app.
To get Bluetooth File Transfer to work download the Bluetooth File Transfer app from Market to both devices then you are done. No rooted device needed.
Bumping this so people who need to see it, see it. Also added to ultimate thread. Good job.

Try get Bluetooth File Transfer to work on your phone and the TF. Were you at least able to achieve that?
First of all thank you for the guide, it worked flawlessly with my TF and Droid X its just the wording causes a bit of confusion for me. Not sure if you meant disable or enable and the option was already unchecked for me.

I did this just last night and tethered to my DX. I didn't have the Wireless Tether app, so I had to go find it - not on the market since the carriers are *****ing about tethering, but I was able to find it from the developer.
Set it to BT tethering, paired the devices and hit the wrench icon on the TF, and BAM! Tethered!
I won't use it very much at all, but I'm taking a couple weeks off and will likely do a 4 day road trip with a friend, so having a connection out on the road will be nice.
Just a heads up.. running a rooted D1 I was able to get my TF to bluetooth tether but not to share the 3G. Installed a ROM (CM7) and was good to go with 3G bluetooth tether working like a charm.
Is this more efficient than wifi tethering?

Saves way more battery than wifi tether and also better speed.
Bluetooth options are disabled under wifi tether. I have enabled bluetooth on my rooted thunderbolt and the TF and both see each other. But I cant proceed further.
I tried this and the wifi apk said I didn't have the correct kernel and so this didn't work...and some of the options were greyed out.
I have an X10 with cobrato's MIUI installed and the stock kernel.
Mine worked great the last time I used it (a couple of weeks ago) but now it won't connect to my phone.. No idea why

You shouldn't have to use a tethering app to use the bluetooth tethering on the droid x. You can set up the tethering through the stock wieless and network menus on the DX and transformer.

Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.
Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.
I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.
I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.
I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?
how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?
It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.
This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.
Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks
I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

I use wifi tether to connect my thunderbolt to my gt10.1. With version 3 I have it set to softap (master) not ad hoc. Access control is on and I have the routing fix box checked for htc phones. I tethered well over 1gb this morning with no problems

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!
Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.
I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
I have found a fairly easy way to tether the 3g connection on my droid x to my a500. The wireless tether app in the market was not working at all, neither was barnacle.
Attached is the wifi tether app which does work, download and install it on your phone.
Once installed and running; the a500 will see the network and connect to it, but still no internet when the browser is opened.
To fix that: open it and go to menu > settings > Change LAN > and select 192.168.3.0/24.
Hooray, it works; Just in time for a road trip
I hope this is helpful for others.

I'm having the same problem; no recognition that they hotspot even exists.
My a500 is rooted, but other than that, it's stock. Did you have to do anything to it?
acer inconia 500a wireless tetering galaxy s
my solution is
in Galaxy S settings-wireless connections-use as cellular modem-mobile AP
in Acer Inconia 500 turn ON the wireless - it should recognize the Galaxy S
I use a USB connection between the two to use the 500 battery on the Galaxy S
that's it
I just downloaded FoxFi (free app) from the market, had it set up and running on my Razr Maxx in a couple minutes, and it's been problem-free since. No settings on the tablet needed at all. Set your password on the phone, enter it on the A500, good to go.
Cool, great, works
I use Barnacle on my phone and it works fine.
This is more dependant on your phone (ROM, kernel, tethering app, etc.) than it is on the A500. I was tethering fine between my A500 and my Sprint HTC Evo 4G until the latest Gingerbread update, where Sprint purposely broke it with the new kernel. Running a non-stock kernel solved that problem for me.
This will continue to resurface as a problem for most phones because the service providers don't want you tethering without paying the extra $ for the feature.
i wouldnt use foxfi, i read somewhere that they gather info (i think its in the permission box you check off)
but if you install the AD-HOC wifi patch it wifi teather or wireless tether should work just fine.
just google ad-hoc wifi patch (i cant post it) heck i found it in the dev section
