Wifi router or USB tethering please

darylrue · #1 (**permalink**) 07-19-2010, 08:23 PM

The only thing preventing me from using this 95 percent of time is that I cannot get tethering to work. USB is not recognized and cant get any of the 3 apps from the market to work or using the IMg file that is supposed to have it working. Can anyone point me somewhere with this please?

Have you tried using "XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA"? My stock Verizon TP2 is a WiFi hotspot now. Runs great on WM6.5.

08-26-10 build of CAB - Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN on Verizon HTC TP2.

I had trouble until I removed my GSM SIM. One feeble attempt at EAS didn't work but I don't care about that right now.

I have an general Android question, so this is Android 2.2, but I am not seeing the Wireless & Networks, Tethering and Portable Hotspot, Portable Wifi Hotspot that I thought was supposed to be in 2.2, unless removed by the carrier?

I do see the USB tethering but I believe that is documented as not working at this time.

Thanks!

I echo the question on Wifi Tethering...since this is Froyo 2.2 - where's the Wireless Hotspot Tethering option? Is there something I need to install? If I can tether, I have no more use for WinMo on this device.

Had one of those "duh" moments. LOL I actually downloaded that then tried something else I found in the market (with no success). Thinking back when I posted I thought I had tried the post above. Now I realize I haven't.

Here's why I didn't - I'm terribly new to this Android stuff - I downloaded the APK and added it to my SD Card, but can't for the life of me figure out how to install it. LOL I can't seem to find it in Android.

I'm sure I'm missing something stupid so off to google how to install apks. LOL

Okay...so I figured out how to install the apk. This is the same thing I downloaded from the market but maybe a newer version? Maybe not? Either way - the Market version I couldn't get the Tether to ever start. This version it starts and I can see and presumably connect to it from my iPod Touch but I'm not successful at anything I try to do on the Touch that requires web access. Seems it connects, but it's not getting on the internet.

Thoughts?
