Root usb tether

[thIsgUy20]

do anybody know of a app where you can do usb tether to ubuntu cause using wifi tether app is good but it use my battery and when i plug it up it make the phone hot. so is there some kinda app where you can do usb tether. i believe the stock one dont work until u pay unless im wrong.
btw im using ubuntu 12.10 if that matters

 

[Prinny]

I did it on a sense ROM...when you hook it up use the tether option where it asks you what you want the USB to do...then hit Windows...and that's it. (I was on Ubuntu 11.04)

 

[thIsgUy20]

it askes that on ubuntu or on the phone? and im running midnight jb idk if that changes anything

 

[Prinny]

Not sure about midnight JB edition. Like I said, I did it with sense.


I would suggest asking ubuntuforums.org maybe...but that's what I did was with sense.

 

[thIsgUy20]

oh okay thanks anyways

There's a version of ClockworkMod Tether for Linux. Have you tried that? It works pretty well for me on Windows.

MidnightJB seems to have usb tethering too, but I haven't tested it. Just try hooking it up.

The setting is there.

 

[thIsgUy20]

I'll try hooking it up and clockwork mod tether I did run across that once but didn't pay attention to it. Guess imma take a u-turn and check it out

PDANet also supports usb tether for Linux, Windows and Mac

 

[thIsgUy20]

Imma try pdanet. Cause the USB tether that come on the phone you can't use that unless you have paid virgin mobile and clockwork mod tether for some reason say isn't compatible wit our device on play store

I haven't used PDAnet since my HTC TouchPro days, but I noticed that they recently purchased FoxFi and have integrated that into PDAnet+. It's $10 (with current promotional pricing versus the normal $15) as opposed to $5 for ClockworkMod Tether, but if you want the integration of USB and wireless tether in one app it might be worth a try. Prior versions of FoxFi only supported bluetooth and not WiFi on the Evo 3D/V and I don't think that's changed in PDAnet+. It's blocked in the Play Store for Sprint phones and may be for VM users as well, but it's downloadable from the PdaNet+ website, and the free version in the Play Store is only a trial anyway and drops connections after a limited amount of usage.

BTW, Clockworkmod Tether supports Linux, Windows and Mac as well. I've been very happy with the combination of CWM Tether for USB connections and WiFi Tether for wireless connections, but if those don't work for you PDAnet is definitely worth a try.

That's Sprint/VM blocking it, just as they do PDAnet+ and FoxFi. If you look at the description of CWM Tether in the Play Store you will find a link at the end of the first paragraph to get the .apk directly from the website. The drivers for Linux, Windows and Mac are also available in that Play Store description.

I think imma try clockwork tether I don't really wanna go buy a app just to USB tether

Just so you know, CWM tether will limit your daily usage to 20MB per day after the 14 day trial if you don't pay $5 for the premium version, but it doesn't stop working until you reach that daily limit.

Tether is a 14 day trial. You will have full unfettered usage for 14 days, after which you will only be able to download 20MB a day. Please buy Tether Premium from the application's menu to unlock the full version and support future development!

Not true, I just tried both the built in mobile hotspot and the usb tether. It worked, and I don't pay virgin extra for it.

Here is the usb tether in action:

You don't need those drivers for Linux, just the ones linked in the description on the Play Store.
