Wifi hotspot is also a feature along with wifi calling. My source? TMOnews from twitter and reps from tmobile store that I actually know
[G2 and Desire Z General] Xeroproject:
Just a proposal, but in lieu of true root/being able to mod, how many of these other functions can we find? The G2's settings menu has struck me as being woefully lacking, even though I can't place my finger on a lot of the things that feel like they're "missing".

Of course I could just be going into CM withdrawals.
[G2 and Desire Z General] a2002cmacg:
Temp Root

For the original method to enable hotspot outlined by the OP, am I correct to assume that you have to redo all the steps after a reboot?

(If so I may be carrying my Touch Pro 2 around simply as a mobile router...)
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
No they haven't.

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mo...ot-permitted-will-support-in-the-near-future/

They don't allow tethering. They simply haven't prevented it on certain handsets.

Why do you suppose all handsets have had Froyo's built-in tethering disabled? Because T-mo wants to sell it to you for $whatever/month. Not sure what you're talking about here, what android phone has working tethering out of the box (except Nexus One, of course, no carrier modifications there...)
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Yes, except for the pushing of scripts to /data/local/tmp. You still have to root and run the script to set up your tether after a reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Lol twitter... that's like saying you saw iOS running on the slide on youtube:rolleyes:

Sarcasm aside however, the calling may be interweaved with the hotspot but I guess we'll have to wait until some one can confirm that. It would be nice, that's one thing (aside from bbm) that I miss about my blackberrys. Maybe with the next update they can integrate it so it will be true UMA and will be able to perform a handover to the cell towers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] a2002cmacg:
Thanks.

Who am I kidding? I'm going to get this phone this week regardless. I played with one at the Tmo store and it's oh so sweet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vash1053:
Running into some problems. I'm pretty new to this so I would appreciate any input.

- I got temp root'd

- I got wifi.sh and dnsmasq.conf pushed to /data/local/tmp

- I got su on terminal and ADB

- I changed dir to /data/local/tmp and did ls to make sure they files were there; they are.

- When I just type in "wifi.sh" at that point, it says "not found". If I do something like ./wifi.sh, it says permission denied.

Is there a particular way I should be running wifi.sh?

Actually, I'm not able to get a shortcut working for the WifiApSettings either... It works when I use the "am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiApSettings" script, but I haven't found it anywhere whilst using LauncherPro, and if I try to make a direct link to it with AnyCut, it 1. Crashes LauncherPro and 2. Tells me "that application is not installed on this device" if I use the shortcut in the regular launcher.

Edit:

This worked for me. Thanks for sharing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DirectMatrix:
I ran into the same problem and I just copy the contents of the wifi.sh file into my command prompt window after I got superuser permission in adb shell and just let the script fly in there. Its an extra step, but it worked. I'm currently enjoying around 9mb down and 3mb up in VA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vash1053:
I just tried copying the contents of wifi.sh into shell, and it ran the script just fine. Unfortunately, my other devices still aren't able to pull an IP from it. I guess I'm sticking with the app until a more reliable solution is found...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryder5:
Thanks, I was looking for that am start command.

Now to answer your wifi.sh question, try typing "sh /data/local/tmp/wifi.sh" (without the quotes).
[G2 and Desire Z General] vash1053:
Hm, yeah that let's me use the script from the terminal. What does the "sh" at the beginning of that command do?

I'm getting the common errors everyone was getting now aim able to run it, but I was going through some earlier posts in this thread and I think I know what the problem is. Gonna give it a try when I get home.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryder5:
I got the following error:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I just pushed the busybox binary to /data/local but that didn't help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryder5:
Thanks, looks like I had an outdated version of Busybox so it wasn't working. This corrected it :)

Also, does anyone know if this little trick would work on other Android phones, like the MyTouch Slide or Vibrant (Galaxy S)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wpickel:
works like a champ (SH + ADB)...So does the Tether app!
[G2 and Desire Z General] icon_x:
Was able to use "wireless tether for root users" after temp-root:

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

Click on the 'download' section for HTC desire

Download the experimental version 9 dated 13 Sept, 2010

wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre9.apk

(pre11.apk will install but will not work on my G2)

All you need is temp root via VISIONary or any other current temp-root method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jmattp:
I removed everything from this post:

Can't connect after reboot regardless of following the exact same steps
[G2 and Desire Z General] etjrowe:
Um... I believe you may be mistaken. :confused:

I'm using the pre11.apk version and it works perfectly. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orange Crush:
I haven't tried pre11, but pre10 is working like a dream. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover it's presenting in infrastructure mode, not ad hoc like my old G1 did.

I tested it out w/ my (wifi-only) Kindle, and it's connecting without any fuss!!

I'm very happy now. This will hold me over nicely until we get permanent root on the G2!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gana2k1:
pre11.apk or wifi.sh/dnsmasq.conf - which method?

Can someone clarify for me - I am kind of lost here.

Reading through the posts, it looks like there are two different methods for wifi tether

a) using the wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk or

b) pushing dnsmasq.conf and wifi.sh and running the wifi.sh command.

Can anyone tell me which is the preferred method? I have a visionary rooted G2.

Which method should I use? Do I need to do both?

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z General] cubanito151:
It's easier if you just use wireless tether_2_0_5. Pre11. All you have to do is download, install and you are tendering and its working fine for me
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gana2k1:
Thanks. I just downloaded the apk, installed it and works like a charm.

So I'm curious though - the apk seems straight forward. What is the purpose off the other method?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bikespridel:
On Windows Vista I am having similar success as Ochlo.

Latest Visionary update and pre11-wifi-tether, encrypted.

The connection is providing me throughput.

Odd thing for me is that the taskbar icon isn't showing the "globe" indicating internet connection (I did have to diagnose a prior repair in this process, so maybe it is just confused and will relfect properly the next time I try this).

On my other laptop, Windows XP, I am having no luck encrypted... but that laptop is starting to die, so I am unsure of the precise issue (I think it's thelaptop, because it's literaly on it's last legs).
[G2 and Desire Z General] supergear:
appears this isn't needed anymore as the OTA gives us Wifi Hotspot now :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] shizenyasuya:
sure, it gives us hotspot now, but at what cost? if the devs were getting close to a security hole to allow root, it may have been patched in the ota. also, if the wifi hotspot in the ota isn't the official froyo one from android but a proprietary one from t-mo, they can monitor your tethering usage and suspend tethering privileges until you sign up for a tethering plan of which there have been rumors.

You have the option to flash 1.6.2 via rom manager - im using clockwork mod - and decided, after trying darch's recovery that clockwork offers more - including being able to explore the entire sdcard -

is there anything special about 1.6.2 that would make it worth trying out as opposed to clockwork recovery ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:

Open up terminal emulator on your phone

su

You should see your new RA image :) Let me know how it goes!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraixzodus:
For two months I have tried to install Cm6 and currently shadow rom. Every time after install from clockwork or nandroid I get the same bootloop splash htc screen. I have installed other roms with no problem....there must be a common issue with cm6 & shadowrom. I have wiped full, cache, davlik and even formated system cache etc. I have a 2.x radio kouche kernel and newest hboot. I've tried changing sd cards etc. No avail......any suggestions would be appreciated.

SamuraiXDroid
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaguox:
I would try wiping dalvik/cache before the flash, flashing, then wiping dalvik/cache again before the first boot of the new rom. I would also suggest trying kings kernel or koush's test kernel by flashing them from cwm recovery directly after the rom.

Aside from that, I could only guess that you might have a corrupt area preventing a full install of your rom/kernel which isn't too uncommon but which I have no experience with. I've heard there are ways to get around this by building the kernel manually or by restoring it from another nandroid (say king's on a ruby nandroid? though I'd venture to guess Ruby would have the same problem), but it seems fairly difficult.

I'm not a developer, but I hope my suggestions can hope point you in the right direction. I'm using the latest nightlies of CM6 and they are awesome. I hope you get the chance to try it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraixzodus:
Thanks jaguox for such a quick reply. So I tried this.method on both cm6 and shadowrom. Wiped full wiped cache wiped davlik. Installed rom and gapp and kernel. Tried koush and kingkernal....wiped davlik...cm6 boot loop.....shadowrom brings me to android touch screen initial setup. I try to touch screen but my phone dosnt respond....screen freeze. Sussesful installs I've had are sky raider virtuous most.sense roms...the only froyo I have that works is ruby...my fav right now. I would love to have cm 6....I've posted on this forum a few times as well as cyanogen forum. I hope im not the only one with this.issue.......

SamuraiXDroid
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaguox:
Here are some more ways to potentially solve your problem. Again, I am not a developer so I am just mentioning a few solutions that might work, I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your device. I'm just trying to help you hammer away from all sides.

Are you wiping data manually too? People have noted success before where they had none before by wiping data/dalvik/cache twice before flash and once after. Not sure why this would solve anything but it is worth a try.

Try installing cyanogen without GApps (I do this anyways with the nightlies since it seems to be corrupt for some reason) and then installing them later if it boots correctly.

I use the Paid rom manager for the ease of use for nightlies, but here is a web link to the nightlies which you can try if you don't have paid: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc They are more up to date and stable at this point than 6.0.2 was (for me at least). I am using build 100 and have tried the packaged in kernel, koush test 6, and adrynalyne's, and all work well.

Adrynalyne has another kernel for AOSP roms you can try: http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79

You can also try using the phone to reformat one of your SD cards just to eliminate that potential pitfall, though I don't think you would be getting that far anyways if it was not formatted correctly (Menu>Settings>SD card). This will wipe any data currently on your SD card.

Now, I would wait for someone else to provide confirmation that this should work since I haven't done it personally, but you could also try restoring boot.img from a Ruby Nandroid with KK1/2 installed (Install Ruby, install KK, make nandroid backup, install CM6 w/o Gapps, nandroid>advanced restore>select ruby nandroid>Restore boot). This should restore a working AOSP kernel for CM6/shadow to use however I am unaware if there are any other consequences. I also suggest KK or adrynalyne since I do not know what Ruby uses and KK and adrynalyne have both worked for me on CM6. The reason I think the kernel is not installing correctly is because your touchscreen is not working and AOSP roms use a different driver than sense roms for it. I could be completely off base however.

Also, out of curiosity, which radio version exactly are you using?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraixzodus:
Hi Jaguox,

Thanks again for the help here is what I tried. I do own the market app ClockworkMod Revovery v2.5.0.5/rom manager. I came from Ruby 1.1.1 with the newest kouch Kernal and radio 2.15.00.07.28. I then wiped data, cache and dalvik twice. I then installed cm nightley 96&98/shadowrom (two seperate installs of course for each rom). I then installed Adrynalyne/Kingkernal kernals and wiped dalvik cache once more. I did not install gapps and let the rom boot. Interesting enough the roms bypassed the intial setup and booted to the home screen. But both roms with both kernals still would not let me have touch access to the screen. So I could see the roms but I couldnt touch them...aaaahhhhhhh the irony. I also tried a reformatted sd card.....same outcome. One time out of the hundred I have tried in the past two months allowed me to initiate my account in a cm nightly and access apps. I rebooted after a fix permission and got a boot loop. That was the farthest I have ever made it. Its strange that both these two roms that share the same dna give my phone the same effect. I appreciate anyones help in solving this mystery.

Thanks in advance!

For some reason, my phone will not run a kernel with HAVS on it. Some kernels boot loop at the evo 4g screen. Others load up, only to experience random reboots every few seconds. I've tried wiping everything several times, flashing rom and kernel at the same time, flashing rom then kernel after reboot, etc. Also, this happens with or without SetCPU. I've searched the forums, and have also asked on one of the kernel forums, only to get the answer "some phones just don't get along with HAVS." Any other ideas?? Anything I can try?? Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osi13:
I have the same problem. I pretty much haven't been able to get a kernel to work correctly after CM6 RC2. I've tried many different versions of the snap kernel. Pretty much none of them work. I have gotten away with a few custom kernels working, but normally I will get at least 1 random reboot per day with them. And they're from August. I don't know what it is, stock kernels run fine; however, I haven't been able to get CM6 to even boot for me after RC1.

I don't seem to be having any kernel panic. k_lastmsg isn't even there after these Cm6 boot loops.

I really hate sense, so I have been running Emerald mod 1.1.1. It's the closest thing to CM6 right now. It works because it's using a kernel that can't OC, and only has 2 touch points.

I have a few k_lastmsg files, that explain the random reboot. These are from snap kernels. I can't get any useful information out of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netarchy:
It's possible the minimum possible undervolt with the HAVS kernel is set too low for your particular phone; some phones can be really picky with how far they can go.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osi13:
No. Temperatures here have been around 60. I don't think it's over heating. I was able to boot a HAVS975 kernel. The kernels that have higher voltages seem to boot, but are not stable. However, anything under 900mv cause boot loops. This was on the latest CM6 nightly. It booted, but 3 minutes after I got a random reboot.

I just flashed 8 kernels over CM6.0 final. The only one that actually works for more than 5 minutes is SnapV2. I can get 5 of them to boot. The rest loop. 7/8 result in a random reboot after about a minute or so. I can post some logcat logs. If anyone can help me decypher the actual problem, it would be great.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Seems to be sprints fault for that
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Its because the Epic has a keyboard and is naturally going to be using landscape a lot more than the other Galaxy S devices. Touchwiz 3.0 isn't fully working with landscape which is why we got (basically) the 2.5 version. Supposedly everything is supposed to be updated when they roll out froyo for our device
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Its our version of touch wiz. Touch wiz 3 at the time of shipping had issues with landscape...ie our keyboards. We should get it with our froyo update...not sprints fault directly, samsungs crap-tastic dev team for not thinking about rotation, but indirectly sprint for forcing a keyboard on a phone that doesn't need it...though it has come in handy a few times.

If your mobile network provider charges for caller ID, you should speak to your consumer affairs office, especially if they aren't a "budget" mobile provider.

Because as a customer, you have a reasonable expectation that Caller ID should be offered for free (because it costs the mobile provider NOTHING).
