My Tether - Tether over WiFi, USB, and BT. - Page 10

darrenf · 07/09/2009, 02:37 AM

Folks have been tethering phones on Sprint for as long as we have had PDA phones. If they haven't gone to great lengths about past abuses, I doubt that they will care about Pre users, particularly since the current Pre solution required rooting whereas you can tether with an Instinct or any PalmOS or WinMo phone with a free patch or PDAnet.

Sprint put in place a 5GB monthly cap -- I would think that this would take care of the abusers.

I'm up for testing

Gentlemen, we have lift off! 1.2.0 has the bugs and kinks worked out and is ready for general consumption!

Check the main post for upgrade & install instructions

P.S. can a mod change the thread title to 'My Tether - Tether over WiFi, USD, and BT'

DNic · 07/09/2009, 07:06 AM

Will try this today, thanks!

s4mb4 · 07/09/2009, 07:12 AM

i will test it right now.

aonic, what you should do is start a new thread in HomeBrew

aonic · 07/09/2009, 07:21 AM

sounds good. maybe a mod can move this thread to homebrew and change the title as well!

s4mb4 · 07/09/2009, 07:21 AM

yep, it works. wow, this is really fantastic. aonic, thank you so much.

aonic · 07/09/2009, 07:22 AM

for the next version, i have planned support for a key on the network, as well as some cleanup of the output from ON / OFF

Can the WIFI Tethering installation work without Rooting the Pre?

no. i believe it still requires webosservice 0-4 thing to be installed....

Hey all, I posted this a few pages back, but you were all in a frenzy of testing... But does this work with Windows 2000? My handy dandy laptop, that i keep far away from the kids, is still running 2000. I have xp to throw on it, but haven't gotten around to it.. Sooner or later I will throw XP on it, but until then, will the Pre tether with it. And if so, anyone know where the drivers are. I seen a mention of them on the wiki page, but couldn't find them...

Thanks

aairman23 · 07/09/2009, 07:49 AM

Not easy enough for me yet

I have neither the patience to root my phone or to deal with the problems that result from me screwing it up. Awesome job though!

marioc · 07/09/2009, 08:05 AM

Got it installed and seems to work. Will take it for a spin later when I have some time. Thank you for this. I missed the ability to this with the pre. Used to tether my Moto Q using pdanet whenever I was at a spot without free wifi.

aonic · 07/09/2009, 08:05 AM

Lilmexx, the xp driver should work in 2000. If not, you can always tether over wifi. Just enable wifi tether on My Tether, and connect your laptop to PreNet

lilmexx323 · 07/09/2009, 08:11 AM

Thanks for the reply.. I will give it a shot as soon as I can get ahold of the cash and get a pre... This is some AWESOME work you have been doing... And it is very appriciated... As this is the only feature that has kept me from grabbing one.

aonic · 07/09/2009, 08:14 AM

Np! Let us know how it goes.

Guys, should I make WiFi the default screen when you launch My Tether? Or keep USB as default?

andidendel · 07/09/2009, 08:25 AM

Please leave USB as default, as I refuse to tether wirelessly, unless I am without one of my 10 USB cables.

i am not to sure what the USB tether switch even does....
looking at ifconfig on a reboot, usb0 and usb0:1 are both present regardless of what the switch state is.

also, it would be worth while to investigate how to progromatically turn off WiFi when the program starts and then ask if you want to turn it back on at exit.

Maybe that's why windows is detecting the Ethernet Gadget when I plug in my Pre, regardless of whether I'm running MyTether...?

Or is that due to USBnet staying on?

No, leave it as USB/bluetooth... I think that's the easiest config for most people.

At least until someone ports AP code to the Pre's wifi interface and turns it on as a full AP...
