Yes -- your phone will automatically update, when new official versions are released.

I am thrilled with tetherbot, thank you grahamsz! To celebrate I created an icon that is free to use, if you wish.

Anyone know how to use tetherbot with a Power PC based mac?

Hey guys, has anyone had tetherbot working on a T-Mobile G2 (rebranded HTC Hero)?

Everything seems to be set up ok as Proxoid (which uses the same ADB port forwarding method) works fine on the phone but I can't get anything to accept tetherbot's socks proxy.

Hello, I tried to tether my g1 to my laptop and i am not a computer whiz and i messed up my computer somehow...it no longer recognizes my g1 at all. And of course, I couldn't get the tethering to work, so i am paying 30$ to t-mobile, and 35$ to verizon dsl for internet. Other peoples computers will pull up the additional drive called g1 but mine will not. I didnt say anything to customer service except that my g1 is not recognized by my comuter, and they told me that they have run into that problem with others. They said that they dont fix computers, and that it is a problem with the bios settings that have been changed in my computer. I uninstalled tetherbot but nothing i know helps me to connect to the computer again to add more songs or to back up the g1. Can you give me some tips on how to restore my computer to recognize my g1? My email is mysnowball100@hotmail.com. thanks, Lynn

Hi, I have try this program and somehow it is not working.


My problem is quiet complicated, since I am different case compare to majority user here, I need to explain something:

1)I am currently have G1, rooted with Cyno mod and 2.2 droid on it.
2)I alter the APN setting, and use Sidekick prepaid, even after port 8080 block I can still achieve 3G speed on my phone, when I was running 1.6 it can be tether by other method which I can't recall.
3)I can ping it, something block my incoming if I try to tether, and outgoing is no problem, and strange enough I can still run BT on that with good 20k + upload. I can't go internet with currently setting on laptop and I am running out of wits.

suspect the problem is some what proxy setting on G1/browser, I can't watch youtube on G1, no browser other that operamini will work, text ok and no flash, I can download, but no stream video.

I think since Sidekick is run on proxy for internet, so that might be the problem why I can't tether as long as I use that setting.

and funny, if I use normal browser it will lead me to web2go and tell me I am not allow to use this service since I don't paid them yet.....

I am paying around $400 per year with unlimited text ( I do like over 100 sms per day) and 3G, but I call very very little (10 minute a week? maybe none)so is still worth it.

I am confused with the last part... how do I do the command of SSH on my G1?

Hello,

new here but wanted to give some feedback on tetherbot...
It's ideal for what I wanted: forward a single port to a fixed address.

It works fine on Milestone with the recent Android 2.2.1 official ROM.
This ROM has usb tether disabled by motorola (in France at least). Thanks motorola .

I use tetherbot with this setup:
1) start tetherbot tunnel pointing to my server on port 443
2) start adb forward
3) run openvpn (configured on tcp only) on PC pointing to localhost

and that's it.
I can connect through my phone (and bypass all the limitations of my data plan ). It seems to work fine speedwise.

Thanks a lot Graham!

PS: the software seems difficult to find unlike other stuff that does not work as well but is on the market... Did Graham/anyone consider putting it there? Thanks

Does this application still work on the more recent Jelly Bean builds?
