tethering and router - Tethering Now Possible

please make making a tethering app and wifi router a first priority in for the wp7... developers
MOD EDIT: Tethering instructions at post 11 onwards

The chances of this happening without 3rd party socket support is extremely low if not impossible. Until Microsoft allows sockets tethering will have to come from Microsoft themselves.

i though that that the phone would be capable , but that there would be no support or apps unless the cell service requested

That rumor turned out to be false. At launch WP7 will not tether but I'm sure we will see an update within the next couple of months that will add it. Since updates come from Microsoft directly I don't think carriers can block it.

I wouldn't say that carriers can't block it. If you look at the iPhone, it was blocked in the carrier settings on the phone.

Also, the carriers has a way detect you are using the phone as tethering or web-browsing, if your data plan doesn't include tethering, the tethering feature means nothing.

Doing some research to upgrade from my dumb ass x10 (was my in between phone) and found on Optus Australia site that Omnia 7 can be used as a tether, so I'm guessing that they are not blocking it.
But hey who knows till I get this next week bundled with an Xbox Kinect - woot.

There's a 99% chance that the site is wrong. WP7 does not support tethering of any kind right now.

Yes I know wp7 does not support tethering now, but it will.
Optus have decided not to charge for the service like some providers do/will and I like that

I tether occasionally with my ATT Tilt running WM6.5.
I am about to receive my Focus this week, and I am confident that there will be the ability to tether this phone soon. History is on my side. In the meantime, I will pop my sim card into the Tilt if I need to tether.
The iPhone was a locked OS at first, the jailbreaks came soon, as did tethering.
As far as ATT being able to detect when it tethers, I doubt it.
In the past, the theory was they could detect the user agent string for the web browser as "not a mobile browser" but since the WP7 browser is a full browser, I see it as a simple matter for the tethering app to replace the user agent string on the fly, so the data stream appears to be for the bundled browser and not a desktop browser. Your laptop will browser will give you a normal experience on each page.
ATT has a money clamp on the data usage anyway, so I doubt they really care that much since as you would hit the 5 GB limit of the laptop tethering plan, you would have paid $65 ($25 for 2GB+$10 for 1GB+$10 for 1GB+$10 for 1GB). They have lost nothing.

How to use USB tethering on the Focus

Well I guess Optus weren't wrong - bit of a fiddly work-around - but hey it works.

Awesome news, if it works. Can anyone who has tested this confirm that it's working and also if you are still able to use the phone to receive texts/calls/etc? Thanks, and good find!

Can someone who's done this post the usb drivers that get downloaded? I'm running on windows server 2008 R2 and suspect that it's not pulling them down because of this. I switched the phone to tethering mode, but when it connects and tries to add the driver it doesn't pull anything down.

What the hell is with Kies?

OK..Apparently I have version 2.1.0.11112_41 What kind of freakin' version number is that? It just prompted me to update to this and I did.
I used to be able to connect my Tab 10.1 to Kies. It sometimes worked with the cable and it always worked with Kies via Wi-Fi. My Galaxy S phone used to connect with the cable every time.
Now, when I connect the phone I get this
"Unable to connect to GT0I9000M. Failed to retrieve device information."
When I connect the Tab, it gets recognized at a GT-P7510, but then I get the message "No sim card inserted. Unable to continue communication." Well, duh, it's a wifi version..there is no SIM card.
Now, I don't know if it's Kies, or if it's the fact that the Tab was just updated to UEKMM and the phone was just updated to 2.3.3 gingerbread.gkg3.
Regardless, it seem that Kies is a piece of steaming dog turd. I think my Tab and Galaxy S are great and would never consider an iPud or iPone, but my son has an iPhone (I call him an iHag or an iFag as the mood strikes) and he's never had problems updating his phone via iTunes.
I wish Samsung could pull their **** together and pump out a decent piece of software.

just use the setting's update instead of Kies ?

Same problem here. No Sim Card Inserted error in kies after the 3.2 over the air update. You could reflash 3.1 or wait on Samsung to fix the problem.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G for Veriaon & Kies

Hopefully someone can help with my problem. I have downloaded Kies on my Laptop and have tried numerous times to get a connection with my Tab. It just sits and spins and never recognizes or connects to the Tab. I have done the connection suggestion and reloaded the drivers but still can't connect. Anyone here have any suggestions or settings I have missed.

Wish I could help but I ran into the same issue. I search the web and tried all different solutions and none of them worked. I even called Samsung and they told me that our device was not supported by kies.
Keep me in mind if you get this resolved.
Peace

Will do. Hopefully someone here can offer a definitive answer. I noticed you are in NC. I'm from Oxford/Durham originally. My son is Post Docing at Duke right now. Doesn't go over well in a Tarheel house. LOL

I live in Raleigh. But born and raised in NJ and don't have any school affiliation. Still fun to watch the fanatics.
Back on point. I just tried kies mini but still no recognition of my device.

I had these same problem earlier On! When using Cm9
I was able to sync perfectly after I flashed the new ics 4.0.4 stock Italian update which came out a couple of days ago
Hope it will help you

Samsung Kies requires update to USB driver (Note 3) and crashes Windows 10

Hi there,
I'm having this problem when I try and update my OS on my Note 3 SM-N900W using Samsung Kies version 3.2.15072_2 on my Windows 10 Machine. Each time is the same - Kies connects fine to the Note 3, and notices there is an update - do I want it - OF COURSE!!! So I select that, and then Kies informs me it needs to update the USB driver before it proceeds - please unplug the phone. Then a message this could take a while. After about 1 minute I get the BSOD and windows apologizes but it received an error - attached - and must restart. EVERY TIME!
Tried manually installing the Samsung USB driver but Kies doesn't care - wants to do it for me. Yes, I granted Kies permission to make changes to the computer.
This also is happening with my Samsung Galaxy TabS 8.4 - since the issue is the same I have only started one thread. I've spent hours searching online - driving me crazy!
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Samsung has dropped KIES (About half a year ago), and as such it doesn't support Windows 10. You need to use Smart Switch instead, it's the replacement for KIES. http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/

Huh! Thanks for that - strange that Samsung "technical" support didn't mention it? The agent said they are working on a Windows 10 update to Kies! Will Smart Switch also be used for updates?
I did finally manage to update my phone using Sammobile firmware and Odin - still have to root but at least I am up to date! Thank you for the reply.

Smart Switch is the full replacement for KIES. It also includes the same update function.
The helpdesks are outsourced callcenters, most of them have no idea what they're talking about. I once had an argument with five of them at once regarding the missing alphabetic sorting in the International S6. It wasn't included in the firmware, they claimed it was. Even after the official press release, they weren't aware of it. :laugh: Poor sods.

Thanks for the comments - installing it on both devices/laptop now!
LOL re "technical service". Whenever I want to get more annoyed than I already am with a problem, I use "Chat". I have very rarely been actually assisted by someone from any technology company's technical support - but hey, it could happen...

how use KIES in S10+ ?

Good night people
Ok?
I just bought an S10 + on it at bestbuy and it arrives tomorrow. then I will read on this forum to see everything you said, but I would like to take advantage of it and post a question that I have for a long time but can not find anything about it on the net. Suddenly you know something about how to make it work. in the pc I have to install the KIES that works until the S4. From S5 forward only works with SMART SWITCH. I would like to know if there is some way to make s10 work in KIES or some similar program, because the smart switch only makes a backup, and kies no, I can access the folders inside the cel and see the thumbnails of the files, which help a lot and I really like this function when saving photos and videos on the pc. is there any program that is similar to kies for s10 or that has to cheat kies so that he can get the s10?
I'm waiting, thank you.

I downloaded kies3 which for some reason detects the phone but then tells me I have to be in some specific usb mode which dosent exist in the phone developer settings, then it fails to show the phone.

maybe this happens because it does not have an s10 driver for windows that works on kies

Samsung Kies is obsolete and deprecated.

No all that's installed Samsung sent me all the links to everything needed for kies3. But it still asks for USB mode MTC or something can't remember exactly now.
My pc recognizes my phone I can navigate and transfer files via Windows 10 file manager. Adb works fine, just kies3 has issue.

This is what I get, even with anti virus and firewalls disabled there's writing allowed.

So
as far as I know kies is no longer updated for many years and only works until S4 or S5, after that only the smart switch
That's why you have these problems.
what makes me annoyed is that it is not possible as there is no program similar to kies or that some programmer can not make kies work with other devices above s4. It should not be difficult for anyone who understands programming and a lot of people who know how to manipulate applications, who modify roms, etc.
