Hello,

This app doesn't seem to work on a cupcake 4.5 build.

In fact, the tether starts but I only have a local access (I've put my computer into the access control list though).

In the wifi tether's log window I see there an error with iptables.

Is it a known issue?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
To be honest ... we didn't test our app with cupcake-builds so far.

Could you please post the exact output of that mentioned error you see in log?

Is "netfilter" enabled in kernel? Which build are you using?
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Our latest pre-build (experimental) should solve (hopefully all) sd-card-problems!

Download it from here:

If it does not work for you ... please file an issue here:

will download and install today. hopefully it works.
[G1 Apps and Games] neoobs:
Any chance you can add the option to turn adhoc off? (WiFiAdhoc = 0 in tiwlan.ini)
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
uhm ... why turning adhoc off?

the app will be completely useless!
[G1 Apps and Games] neoobs:
No it wouldn't it would let me connect multiple laptops and even let them talk to each other if needed.

I did it manually but would be useful for it to be hardcoded.

I managed to overheat my phone and it shutdown on my while I was tethering with .91 I'll update to .96 and see if I can make it overheat again.

Driving through boston tethering 1 laptop on youtube some other sites and chat with gtalk and aim worked great until it shutdown.

Anyone else have this happen to them?
[G1 Apps and Games] neoobs:
Mine will get hot when it is tethering and even hotter when plugged in and tethering. Never had it shut down thou.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Really? ... Ok, will take a look into this matter.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
You could try to do following setting-changes to prevent overheating and/or reduce power-consumption.

1) "Disable Wake-Lock" ... and the phone will fall in sleep again.

2) "Change Power Mode" ... factory-default is "Auto" but you could also try to set it to "Long Doze".

All these changes may lead into more frequent wifi-signal-drops.

Never forget ... the handset was never designed to do wifi-tethering ... so, all at your own risks.

WIFI Tether & Apps on SD

I ran into the same problem and discovered that copying the data cache to the SD was the culprit and not the stability of the tether program. I am not proficient in Linux, but once I copied the data cache back to the phone it worked fine. Of course the downside to this was that I used more memory on the phone. To solve that, I copied the Dalvik cache to the SD and this freed up even more memory than having the data cache copied and the tether continues to work without any issues. With this configuration I have not had one single "force close" issue or any problem for that matter.

The below thread will provide the steps to get the data cache copied back to the phone and the dalvik cache copied to the SD. Hopefully if it worked for me it should work for you and others.

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the hard work, I travel a lot for work and I've used this more than once to get a connection.
[G1 Apps and Games] Antebios:
OMG, OMG, OM-F-G it works!! I donated $ because it's worth it!

This is the GOD-DAMN reason why I love the modding community! EAT **** Apple! Now, do we attribute this to Linux or some other technology?
[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
i would attribute this to harry_m and parrothd lol.
[G1 Apps and Games] mlevin:
That didn't help me :(

I still can't get it to work. I always get the "unknown state" error.
[G1 Apps and Games] mlevin:
Would changing /system/init.rc to mount /system/sd with exec option fix this?

EDIT: Hmm, that got me the never-ending android logo. Now trying moving items from bin subdir into /data/tether-bin and symlinking them...

That got it sort-of running -- I see the SSID show up even though the app says "unknown state" and shows the red icon... getting closer... I'm looking through the code at http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?...e:http://android-wifi-tether\.googlecode\.com and can't quite seem to figure out why the tests would be failing such that it gives me the unknown state error... when I start it I can see the processes running, so I know they're ok...
[G1 Apps and Games] Dootuz:
Yay nice app! It worked for my friend, but I can't get it to work for me. My laptop has Ubuntu 8.10.

How do you configure it? How do you get the MAC address.

Thanks!

[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
For those having trouble with this via terminal emulator:

busybox cp -a /system/sd/data/android.tether /data/tether

rm -r /system/sd/data/android.tether

ln -s /data/tether /system/sd/data/android.tether

try doing it using ADB, like this:

adb remount

adb shell

busybox cp -a /system/sd/data/android.tether /data/tether

rm -r /system/sd/data/android.tether

ln -s /data/tether /system/sd/data/android.tether

reboot

After rebooting, open Wifi Tether for Root Users, but DO NOT attempt to tether, this will cause things to crash. First you have to re-install the binary files by clicking MENU, then SETUP, MENU again, then (Re)-Install binaries/configs, then you can START tethering.
[G1 Apps and Games] mlevin:
OK, I figured it out. I checked out 0.96 from code.google.com and modified it to work properly with apps on the sdcard (the issue is that it can't execute binaries on the sdcard). My modified version puts them in /data/tether-bin (this will only work if you didn't symlink all of /data but rather individual directories beneath /data).

See the issue report here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=61. I can't submit it to the project directly but I did provide them with my changes.

Note that the attachment to that issue is the zipped up source tree and not an .apk that you can install directly. You can, however, import it into Eclipse and then run the app with your phone as the target (as opposed to the emulator). That's how I got it running on my phone.

I'm hoping that the authors will integrate these changes into the app and somehow check (or ask) if you're running apps on the sdcard and then use the alternate directory path.

If you're really stuck and need the modifications immediately, PM me and I'll see if I can copy my running version of the .apk for you. I'm not sure if that will work as it is not signed, but we can give it a try.
[G1 Apps and Games] qutequeen8:
Ok I need some serious assistance. I have set everything up correctly, have taken all the resteps from unistalling ,reinstalling,command prompts and removing my firewalls. The wifi is working properly because my network recognizes the g1 ad hoc. The problem iam having is the connection bars are full but I have limited connection which doesn't allow me to fully connect or use the internet. I have the hp touchsmart laptop brand new my phone is paired with my computer wirelessly but I use the usb what can I do.. what steps have I skipped... please someone help me
[G1 Apps and Games] vicmanf:
hi! Im having the same problem

Could you post how you were able to get it to work? Thank you
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
Umm.. I have my apps (and the dalvik-cache also) on my sd card, just tested and Wifi Tether works without a flaw. I, however, still have my /data/data in it's rightful place on the internal storage. Maybe that makes all the difference. I am not one of those people that thinks it is wise to move the entire contents of the /data partition over to the sd card, I rather think it makes more sense to have the mainly static (installed programs & dalvik-cache) directories moved over, and keep the dynamic (/data/data) internal.
[G1 Apps and Games] Liquid602:
has anyone tried to tether their xbox for xbox live?? any results from that?
[G1 Apps and Games] Antebios:
I don't know what you're talking about. It worked perfectly the first time with my Ubuntu 8.10. I'm going to upgrade to 9.04 and test it.

Help

Has anybody had an issue with tether disconecting itself? the app works fine but after a while that I'm surfing the net, it disconnects it self and I have to reconect manually! Anyone had this issue before if so any way to remedy this?:confused: thank you. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Are you using Shop Savvy?

From here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ

What keeps killing tethering or turning wifi/GPS on during tether?

It's probably another application. The most common we've seen causing this issue is ShopSavvy?. To prevent this from happening, open the Shop Savvy application and go to Settings->Privacy. If you see a "Find my location" setting and it is currently on, turn it off.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
0.96 works perfectly with JFv1.50 ADP1.5, no issues at all so far.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
Same here but I had to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it to work. Odd but not unexpected considering how many non wipe flashes I've done over the past few weeks.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
That's a bit odd.. but at least you got it working fairly easily.

i am thinking if i could use it to share pc's network to my G1?
[G1 Apps and Games] ZilverZurfarn:
No, this works the other way around. Sharing the G1's network with a PC.

I guess you could set up a PC to act as an access point, if that's the way you want to connect.

Hi guys

Before installing this .apk I just wanted to double check... I had installed the tether-1.6 from the tether-1.6.tar files (and it's working great)

Should I first manually remove the files that tether-1.6 placed?

I'm not sure if tether-1.6 overwrote any system files or only added files when I un-tar'd it.

Thanks

Any one else have problems with the phone getting really hot when tethering and disconnecting?

I have used this app.....96 and now .97 with jf rc33, jf 1.5 and now Dude's 1.1 and after about 15 mins it disconnects...phone gets warm almost immedietely and then hotter the longer its on.

This is a sweet app and I would love a fix for this! :)

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] neoobs:
Probably have no fix for the heat because it is related to the radio. But the disconnecting can be many things. I haven't had mine disconnect but it could be because of the bandwidth you are using.
[G1 Apps and Games] iflyabeech:
Shouldn't be too much bandwidth..I am usually only visiting a couple of websites or forums...or maybe facebook...not downloading or any other bandwidth heavy activities.... Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] anoblenate:
don't know if this is the right thread to ask, but I think I'm having issues using my G1 for internet on my pc. I tried pdanet, but it's not working well now and wanted to try this, but don't understand if its for what I need.

I recently moved and only DSL is available for about $60 a month and I can't afford it at the moment. I have unlimited t-mobile data and live in the boonies with only Edge connection as well as work nights, so I'm only using the data when I get home around 3 am to check email and basic surfing, no torrent use or major data transfer.

I searched here and came across pdanet. Using my old HTC Hermes as a modem to my PC to I download it. After install on on my PC and then putting my sim card back in my G1 I was grateful to see it worked. I got about 150 to 200 kb/sec download speed which was decent for the use I need at the moment.

That night at work I rooted my phone and put on JF ADP 1.5. Upon returning home my connection with the G1 using pdanet is now very very slow, images don't load and half the time pages don't load.

I'm now using my Hermes again where everything loads just fine, but it's a pain switching back and forth (especially when the poor old hermes' usb port is getting touchy).

Does pdanet work best on the original RC33 build? I don't understand what Wife Tether does, I apologize for my noobishness and appreciate all the info here.

thanks!

*UPDATE*

Finally figured it out, my wireless adapter for my PC wasn't working right. I can connect through wife tether now, but it's half the speed of my Hermes and PDAnet which go through USB. PDAnet still randomly disconnects and has trouble loading images.

Tried wifi tether at work where I have 3G and it incredible there! Thanks for all the effort!

Just to let the OP know...I uninstalled the old version first, installed the new one, and it immediately said there was an update available so I accepted. It then downloaded the "update" and reverted me to the old version (0.9.7)
[G1 Apps and Games] QwertyAccess:
Does the bluetooth run as fast as wifi now? with the new cupcake bluetooth.

works with ion rom. although it asks me to update and then it reverts me back to 0.97. so i uninstalled and reinstalled without selecting to update. a little weird.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
Yeah, sorry for that ... was my fault.

I put version 1.5 on our server and realized that there is a minor bug. So I've fixed that an published 1.51. I've retreated version 1.5 which led to a downgrade to 0.97.1 ...

Sorry for the inconvenience!
[G1 Apps and Games] jaygajay:
hey just wanted you to know that WiFi Tether force closes on the Hero Rom. aNetShare works. Personally I dont like aNetShare that much and I prefer to use WiFi Tether. But until the force close issues are sorted out i guess I have no choice but to be forced to use aNetShare until your app works on the Hero Rom
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
About which version are you talking about?

Version 1.5 fixes some issues with Runtime.exec() ... (which are cupcake related and harm nearly all root-apps which call commands that way).

I'm not sure about tethering via bluetooth to do what you're talking about, but I'm certain you can tether via Wifi.

On your phone, start aNetShare or Wifi Tether for Root Users, then enable Wifi on his G1, let it find your phone as an access point, and then allow him to connect to your phone.

Your computer probably just has the old SSID cached. Mine sometimes says it is broadcasting when the phone is off.
