My Tether - Tether over WiFi, USB, and BT. - Page 11

christefano · 07/09/2009, 08:39 AM

This is simply terrific, aonic. Thanks! I sent a donation a few hours ago.

If possible, please add options for setting the WiFi network's name and for creating a MAC control list.

My vote is for USB tethering since that's what I'd be using if it worked on my computer (I use OS X). Ideally, though, it would remember what type of tethering was used the last time.

After I install my tether I can no longer connect via usb and also the driver thing isnt poping up when I put it in my win vista 64bit pc.

I agree. Would make it more user friendly

Agree with this as well

i would actaully prefer to see the dev go into seperate direction.
instead of an all in one product, 1 app for usb / bt tether and 1 app for WiFi via adhoc.

it has been my experience that i use onlt 1 or the other and i think the program could be alot less complex if it were set to be WiFi adhoc only.

I really hope that adhoc and usb tether will both be supported in future updates.

You dont need to enable USBNet if youre only using WiFi tether. Whatever mode you're in, the app will prompt you to do what the current mode needs to function. So if you only use WiFi, you can leave USBNet off, and just DHCP on. I like to keep things clean so theres no messes left behind from either mode.

Thats the plan, but I plan on adding a wep key instead of a mac control list.

Also, I initially did plan on turning WiFi on & off automatically when using wifi tethering, but the service requests for that were failing and I temporarily moved on to DHCP. It will be in the next version

s4mb4 · 07/09/2009, 09:16 AM

it seems i was mistaken earlier. the program already is two seperate processes and it completely ROCKS. you can enable WiFi without having to turn on USBNet. that is the absolute greatest thing. GREAT!!!!

volcom45 · 07/09/2009, 09:27 AM

aonic, you are THE MAN!!

way to go! So, has anyone performed any speedtest comparisons with USB mode? I'm curious, Wifi has to at least blow bluetooth's speed out of the water if not close ot USB's version!

aonic · 10:22 AM

just updated to 1.2.1.

1.2.1 remembers the last mode you used (usb, wifi) and opens up to the same mode when you re-open My Tether.

also, 1.2.1 only asks you to turn off wifi if wifi is indeed enabled, not blindly.

Instructions in main post, as always.

pointgod36 · 07/09/2009, 10:27 AM

Wow this works great. Nice job!

slickjames · 07/09/2009, 10:27 AM

Aonic: Hi. I've been watching all your great work and all the other Devs here that have contributed. You guys need a round of applause!!!

I have one problem...YES, I'm NEW to any type of "modding" but am going through the steps of installing the Tether app. My problem is with rooting. I get to the step of double clicking on the novaproxy.py to start the app, it starts for a split second and then disappears so i'm unable to type anything in the command prompt.

Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks!!!

aonic · 07/09/2009, 10:33 AM

slickjames, that seems like an issue with the rooting process, but ill answer

you need to install Python 2.6, and what I do is, I open up command prompt in windows, and: c:\python26\python.exe c:\novaproxy.py

That should keep the novaproxy open

Rennat · 07/09/2009, 10:42 AM

This is an awesome app!!!!
I had no problems installing the app and it works beautifully. However, when I use wifi to tether, it comes up as a locked wifi hotspot. I would really like to know the pre set password or how to remove the password and make it become a open network.
Thanks allot for this awesome app!!!

waxtaxndre · 07/09/2009, 10:45 AM

I sent you $30 bucks!!!!! You are incredible for this!!!

I was feeling really bad about having a Pre. Thanks for everything.

ps I'm glad you came out with 1.1.2 I was wrecking my brain on the other ones

aonic · 07/09/2009, 10:53 AM

thank you for the donations

rennat, is the network PreNet? have you done adhoc wifi tethering using other methods? because my app doesnt set any password right now.

waxtaxndre: good to hear

neoGTR22 · 07/09/2009, 11:03 AM

Aonic you rock. Wifi's working much faster as supposed to BT. If you can get some sort of password goin to secure the Wifi connection I'd gladly send you a couple more bucks. Thanks man!!

Rennat · 07/09/2009, 11:04 AM

Yes, it is listed as 'PreNet' and no I have not tried any adhoc wifi tethering methods. I haven't tried to tether until now, actually.

free hurricane · 07/09/2009, 11:05 AM

I am trying to get it to work. Right now, when I swipe it to wifi on, it just keeps saying enabling wifi
Also, it says I am using wifi when I am not. It is turned off. Bug perhaps?
