I think its complaining because some services need to connect to your Xbox on a specific port. If your "router" (phone in this case) isn't set up to forward those ports back to your xbox 360, services like "voice chat" won't work. Most real routers have pages in their web admin application to configure port forwarding back to IPs behind the firewall. I haven't seen anything like that on this app. Maybe a feature request is in order... :)

I was able to use the tether to connect my laptop to xbox via ethernet and even play fifa online. pretty amazed at how descent connection was. but still no comparison to cable connection. as for the browsing which was extremly good, downloading was expectedly slow, but not that bad....all in all tether is a must have!
[G1 Apps and Games] ThR1LL:
Are there any development updates on this? How stable is the pre-release build?
[G1 Apps and Games] i<3andr0id:
OMG. recent update allows me to connect my xbox 360 to xbox live through tether. THANK YOU.

Ad hoc

Dont suppose you can ad .......an adhoc mode?
[G1 Apps and Games] MoLife18:
Wow this app is incredible. I lost my internet connection last night since my roommate moved out and this app is able to get me 2 mb/s on my 3G network. I was wondering if this app could burn out your phone because my phone gets really hot when i'm downloading things? And has anyone had trouble with T-Mobile calling them and asking you to slow down your usage?
[G1 Apps and Games] andw-yze:
I have Cyanogen's mod 4.04, and Wifi Tether for Root 1.52 and have a weird problem....

When I start tethering, even though I have WEP setup, with an SSID and a 128bit ASCII passcode, Vista still shows it as an unsecured network and allows me to connect without asking for a passcode.

If I change the SSID, Vista reports the new SSID as available but still as unsecured network.

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Wifi for tether, and that does not help.

I do know that if I wipe it is all ok, (Nandroid backup), but is bad again after I Nandroid restore, so it must be something in my settings somewhere.

Anyway, is there anyway anyone knows how to completely delete the Wifi for root settings so it is like it is being set up from scratch without doing a wipe?

I would really really like to not wipe if I can.....
[G1 Apps and Games] ZilverZurfarn:
If you're into running custom ROM's (and keep updating them), you better get used to wiping now and then... :)

/Mats
[G1 Apps and Games] andw-yze:
I know, I know....

It's just this one app....

If I can just delete a settings file and that is it, it will save a lot of hassles.

:o
[G1 Apps and Games] ZilverZurfarn:
I know the feeling. Why use a sledge hammer when a surgical knife should do it? Tried fix_permissions?

/Mats
[G1 Apps and Games] andw-yze:
Just had a chance to try that, but still no go.

Also tried the option in setup - 'reisnstall binaries - config' (press menu in setup) - still shows as unsecured....

Oh well, I don't use it that often, so it's not urgent, and it does work, just not secured....

Maybe a fix will come to me one day, I'm not stressing about it at the moment.
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
I noticed this as well, other browsers connected and displayed the pages fine, just not Firefox. Chrome and IE both worked as expected.

Could be a Firefox issue, not Wifi Tether, try another browser.
[G1 Apps and Games] Coderedpl:
I have a weird problem.

I setup encryption and the password and have even changed the SSID, but when i use my laptop to connect I see it as a public network? It doesnt event prompt me to enter a password?

Access control is also on.

Any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] Ohsaka:
Three things:

1) I love Wifi for Tether

2) If you google "wifi tether unsecured", you will get a google issue page. The dev has posted an updated version for cyan mods that makes encryption work. Someone please respond in that issue and tell him it works and thanks cause I didnt do it yet.

3) I also get no images on Firefox. Its a combo issue... it only happens with BOTH Firefox AND Wifi Tether... I just use IE when im at work on Wifi Tether for now. Maybe someone should open up an issue on it.

(im lazy btw :) )
[G1 Apps and Games] detox702:
So... I updated this app, to 1.52 from the googlecode page. Now I can't get it to load. As soon as I open it it force closes. So I rolled back to 1.51. It force closes now. I've restarted my phone and completely removed/installed the app. No dice. Suggestions? This worked wonders last night.
[G1 Apps and Games] ufvj217:
when u updated, did it change the icon to a brown box instead of the normal green lines?
[G1 Apps and Games] jasallis3:
Silly question: I downloaded, copied to the root of my sd card. HOW DO I INSTALL IT? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] ZilverZurfarn:
With Astro, or other Android file manager

/Mats
[G1 Apps and Games] Ohsaka:
Does anyone use this with Firefox to browse the web and not have problems with images? Doesn't make much sense really, but its defiantly a combination of wireless tether + Firefox causing images not to load on all web pages for me...
[G1 Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
Does anyone elses phone get super hot when using this for at least 30 minutes? It gets so hot it feels like it could be damaging to the phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] ZilverZurfarn:
Yes, using both wifi and radio at full blast takes a lot of juice. It gets hot. Haven't heard of any damaged Dreams (for this reason) tho...

/Mats
[G1 Apps and Games] 2311:
Sorry if this has been asked before, it's kind of hard to search for my question, I tried looking up several tutorial videos but didn't find anything.

Can you get wifi to a laptop that has no bluetooth or wifi built into it? In other words, I'm talking via USB from the phone.

A side note: a WiFi card is not an option (long story).

Thank you very much, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place or has been covered.
[G1 Apps and Games] SoTacMatt:
PdaNet does that. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
[G1 Apps and Games] randombvr:
nevermind :)
[G1 Apps and Games] sparklekid:
is there a way to either toggle the wifi on/off? I also noticed that there's no uninstall option in the settings menu, but only "clear data" and "force stop." I would like to continue using this app but I would also like to have the g1 connect to a wifi access point as well at times. Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] jakal323:
What version of this will work with the new CM5 build for the dream. Should I stick with the one intended for the G1 (though it's marked as 1.6) or the N1 version? Anyone have any experience with this?

EDIT - NM misread the page. Thought there were different versions for each phone.

[G1 Apps and Games] Ukrai:
cannot browse

really need some help, been trying for days now and no luck

ive rooted my HTC Legend and installed a new 2.1 rom, i then installed wifi tethering app and allowed root access, all seems good, my laptop finds it and connects but it then gives a 'no internet access' label and will not browse in IE or chrome.

things i tried:

- Turned off windows firewall

- reinstalled wifi tethering app (latest test build from google code site)

- turned off Access Control & WEP

- Did (Re)-install binaries/config

Any other ideas?

Edit: i installed Barnacle Wifi Tether to see if its just the app, and this fails to even start up, gives error: "shell-init: error retrieving current directory: ge4tcwd: cannot access parent directories: permission denied" - could i have an issue with my root access? how can i test that?

Edit2: Installed another 2 different ROMS, a 2.1 and a 2.2, both of them would crash and reboot when starting wifi tethering (freeze on starting up), barnacle would start fine but still be undetectable by laptop.

Mmmmh ... what does the log say?

Press [Menu] and "Show log" ...
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
$ su

# cd /data/data/android.tether/bin

# ./tether start

./tether: permission denied

I'm on an Android Dev Phone, with root access (I had to approve Terminal Emulator for root access when I typed su and hit enter).
[G1 Apps and Games] Crusher16:
Get same message. Only threw JF on my G1, no themes or anything. Log also doesn't show anything.
[G1 Apps and Games] miseiler:
It's working for me still...
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
thats a permission problem (for sure) - lets check the following please ...

1) open terminal

2) become root again - su

3) check the file-permissions of the tether-script - type:

ls -la /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether

This should return:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 10032 100032 <not important> /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether

4) Fix permissions:

chmod 4755 /data/data/android.tether/bin/tether

Please make sure that the "superuser-whitelist" accepts "su" from the wifi-tethering-app "always"!

You could also try to reinstall binaries and config files:

Press [menu], chose "Setup" ... when displaying the setup-screen press [menu] again and chose "(Re)-Install binaries/configs" ... try again please.

The problem might be that when the config-files and binaries where copied/installed the "superuser-whitelist" app blocked the permission-setting.

Just a guess ... I can't reproduce your errors.

Please post your results.

Thanks.

Greetz,

[G1 Apps and Games] vr24:
You need to put this on the market so all those people can see/download it as well. This is BETTER than the paid app as well.
[G1 Apps and Games] lilithpro:
Thats just great :) I rooted my phone for the original bluetooth and wifi tethering apps and as soon as i did, they were paid :(

Currently online over this, working great out of the box, thank you very very much.

Just a little wish from my side: Would it be very difficult to modify this to offer bluetooth tethering? Since i think that bluetooth does draw less power than wifi.

Anyway, great work and keep up!
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Ok ... good to hear :)
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
It returned -rw------- 1 10068 10068 so I did the chmod thing and that changed it to -rwsr-xr-x 1 10068 10068.

However now when I run the app I get this screen:

And when I tap "start tethering" I get: "Your phone is currently in an unknown state - try to reboot!".

So I guess I'll do just that, reboot the phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Yep ... that makes sense. You only set permission to "tether" but all other binaries need excute-permissions as well.

so do the same on:

chmod 4755 /data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables

chmod 4755 /data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq

and it will work.

OR ... just simply try to reinstall binaries and config-files.

Press [menu], chose "Setup" ... when displaying the setup-screen press [menu] again and chose "(Re)-Install binaries/configs" ...

This will set file-permissions correctly if it's not blocked by the superuser-app.

Greetz,

H
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Ah, that did the trick. I re-installed the binaries/configs and now everything's up and running. Many thanks man!
[G1 Apps and Games] gaurav_verma22:
Hi Harry_m and other fellow rooted G1 users,

This is a great, great advancement. I was thinking of buying a paid version of this, but fortunately happened to see this post.

Now, for the problem: I had installed tether-1.6.tar from parrothd.com and it was working ok. I used to have the occasional issue of getting the error insmod: /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko (file already exists).

I forgot that this was due to wifi being on by some chance and deleted /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko. Now, wifi wont come on and tether start wont work either!

I guess the best shot for me would be to just restore /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko from someone's JF1.41_RC33 ROM. Only then can I use this wonderful application. Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE post their copy of /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko for JF1.41_RC33 online? This would be a really BIG help for me. Otherwise, I will have to spend HOURS doing the same setup etc, application re-installs and what not. Im hoping some kind soul on this community can help me get back on track.

PS: Also, I had noticed one more thing: after I installed tether-1.6.tar from parrothd, the wifi network was not connecting at all. I dont know why this was happenning. Not sure if this is relevant or not.

Thanks

Aww man. i just bought tetherWifi on the app market. Which is a pretty good app but this G1 tether has been put together really good. Thanks for making this app. I really love it.
[G1 Apps and Games] oreoOozZz:
This is amazing, works flawlessly and for FREE. Some of developers making the paid apps on the market must be smoking some real good sh!t because they are buggin if they think people are going to pay for that horsecrap. Anyway, if you have an email, i would like to donate because this app is great and i feel you deserve compensation. Keep up the good work.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
When i do this i have no allowed clients, what now?
[G1 Apps and Games] donutman:
Thanks for keep it free. Unlike some other folks. =p
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Try this please:

If you enable "Activate Access-Control" clients are blocked from generating internet-traffic. To allow single clients you need to tick the checkbox (next to the client-decription) and hit the save-button in the setup-view. You do NOT need to restart the tethering-service - changes are done on-the-fly!

If you do not see any clients please make sure you are connected, press the [back]-button to exit setup, open the "setup"-view again (press [menu] and chose "setup").

By the way ... I will release an updated version tomorrow which will include a refresh-button ... so you don't have to jump out of "setup" and open it again.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Ok tried that and no clients. In call log it says enabling NAT for mac-addess and just sits there. I am running windows xp, is this not for windows?
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
I'm using winxp too.

Is the wifi-connection established to your phone ... do you get an ip-address? does tethring work if you uncheck "Activate Access-Control" (followed by pressing the save-button)?
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Yeah wifi is running, i have a netgear wireless card and it picks up the tether under adhoc but when i try to connect it wont. Weird man it should be working, this is driving me nuts lol. How do you get ip? No doesnt work if checked/unchecked.
[G1 Apps and Games] chief2842:
This might be a dumb question, but what will this allow me to do?
[G1 Apps and Games] mariod1269:
it will allow you to use your G1 as a wifi router. for example, last month, i went to San Francisco for a few days, when i was coming home, i got to the airport a little early. so i fired up my laptop to surf the interwebs while i waited...well, the only wireless offered at SFO is the $10/month pay as you go t-mo thingy. luckily, i had tetherbot on my G1 so i was able to get around it and surf for free.

this app, however, is way better than tetherbot.
[G1 Apps and Games] chief2842:
Thanks I figured that was it, but I just wanted to make sure. I have the App running just have to play around with it now.
[G1 Apps and Games] ThrashWolf:

I am having the same problems that post 50 is having. Do I need to turn wifi off on my laptop because it automatic connects to my wireless network at the house? Also do I need to plug the usb plug into the laptop in irder to see the clients?
[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
Actually your laptop should see the G1 as an "Unsecured Computer to Computer Network". What it does is uses your laptop's WiFi to connect to the G1's WiFi to allow you to connect your laptop to t-mobile's 3g network through your g1.. um does that make any sense lol

so ya, you need your laptop's wifi on and you should be able to connect to the g1 as a wireless network to get 3g internet on your laptop.
[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
Awesome, agreed and you got it! Thanks again Harry! Two Thank yous and a bit-o-cash to JesusFreke!!
[G1 Apps and Games] pkmoazzam:

[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
there was a similar post earlier, i think it resulted in having to do the "(re)-installing the binaries" option.

yeah i tried that,, didnt get any errors, but when start tethering, i use laptop to connect g1.. doesnt work. i am using Gwifi from http://www.ndroi.com/step3.html which works fine. but i love your app, i want it to work so badly. i tried to do chmod.

here my screenshot
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Please do the following ...

1) Start the tething via gui

2) Open Terminal - become root - su <enter>

3) type: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward <enter>

This should return 1

4) type: ps | grep dnsmasq <enter>

This should return something similar to this:

root 2475 1 828 292 c00a6380 000419e4 S /data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq

So ... if one of these two things are not as expected the message "your phone is currently in an unknown state - try to reboot!" will be displayed.

Please check and post results.

And ... check the log-files too ... press [menu] and "Show log" in the tethering-app.

Hi Harry, I re-installed the binaries through menu->menu, but the application hangs at Start Tethering. The root access was given to this process, but it keeps hanging. BTW, I have parrothd's tether-1.6.tar installed also. Do you think there might be a conflict. Is there a way to un-install parrothd's application? BTW, My applications are installed on SDCARD. Maybe that is the issue.

Also, I checked that the permissions of /data/data/android.tether/bin/* are 4755.

Are you using a mod to run applications from sd-card?

If yes, please read "trobleshooting" in my initial post.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Hey parrothd,

the registration fee is not an issue ... I'm already market-member :)

I'm a bit scared to put it on market. I mean right now this is a very "special" app which only runs on JesusFrekes firmware.

But we will see ... maybe a later version of it.

By the way ... was there any success to get encryption running somehow?

[G1 Apps and Games] gaurav_verma22:
Hi Harry_m, I used the steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468959 for moving the applications to SDcard (basically I had to create an ext2 partition in SDcard and create softlinks to it from /data/app, /data/app-private etc. The undo steps seem to move ALL the apps back to internal memory. This will defeat the purpose of utilizing the SDcard. Why wont tethering start if the app is in Sdcard? Also, where is the log file? i dont see it in /data/data/antroid.tether/* at all.
[G1 Apps and Games] IzzeLing:

[G1 Apps and Games] smojo:
Works perfectly. My 1 suggestion would be to maybe add a refresh button on the setup page so you could easily refresh to see if any new clients have connected.

I was real surprised at the speeds I was getting with 3g. I connected everything in my house to the ad-hoc and each device was getting decent speeds. Just wish the Wii would let me connect to ad-hoc's. Then I could just cancel my crappy broadband service.
