[Palm WebOS] My Tether Tether over WiFi USB and BT151 NEW 17/11

This app allows you to use your Pre to connect to the internet. It allows you to tether over USB, or Bluetooth PAN, and allows you to make your Pre into an WiFi hotspot to share your EVDO connection.

The app handles enabling USBNet on the Pre via the UI, as well as enabling DHCP for tethering without having to ssh in to enable anything.

Now on to the good stuff.

Latest version: My Tether 1.5.1 & TetherService 0.5.0



You need root to install this app, but after installing you shouldn't need to root or ssh in to do anything else to make this app work.

Previous versions of this app required webosinternals.services to be installed. This was ok, but it allowed any WebOS application on your Pre to run root commands. To close that "hole" I've made my own service to handle tethering functions.

New In 1.5.1

* Fixed to work with WebOS 1.3.1




New In 1.5.0

• Removed dependency on webosinternals.services
• Added dashboard notifications on status of WiFi Tethering
• New Launcher icon by TavisJohn
• App remembers last tether option & opens to same one
• Cleaned up tether output & general UI to be more user friendly
• Security & added robustness in the backend

Instructions (version 1.5.0):
Root into your Pre and paste this one liner into your terminal:

Code

wget -qO- http://vz.aonic.net/pre/my.tether.install | /bin/sh

Check here for "Accessing Linux instructions on Windows w/ SDK"

This command will remove webosinternals.services, install the new tethering service, and install My Tether 1.5.0. It will also remove any old versions of My Tether

If you get something like wget: bad address 'vz.aonic.net' in the output of the command then re-run the command. Don't let your Pre go to sleep during this command, and if your Pre is plugged into USB make sure its in "Charge Only" mode.

Installing USBNet Drivers on Windows:
If you're using USB tethering, you will need to install the usb network drivers on your machine. Instructions are here: pre dev wiki: USBnet networking setup

These USBNet Drivers instructions are very good: http://forums.precentral.net/1791515-post1460.html

Instructions for USBNet on Vista & Vista 64bit by mu7efcer
1. On Pre: in the My Tether program turn on usbnet.
2. Reboot Pre and open My Tether again and turn on DHCP
3. Plug in Pre to USB on Vista
4. In wizard that comes up asking for driver software, I chose ignore.
5. Then I went into the device manager, by right clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Manage", then clicking on "Device Manager"
6. There was a device called "USB Ethernet Gadget". I right clicked on it and selected "Update Driver Software..."
7. In the wizard that came up, I clicked "Browse my computer for driver software"
8. In the next page, I clicked "Let me pick from a list of deice drivers on my computer"
9. It asked me to pick a type of hardware. I chose "Network Adapter"
10. Under "Manufacturer", I chose "Microsoft Corporation". (Note: this is not the same as "Microsoft")
11. In "Network Adapter", I chose "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
12. Then I clicked Next.

Bluetooth Tethering
The report is that after you enable USB Tethering in My Tether, you can pair your machine to the Pre using Bluetooth PAN and tethering will work over Bluetooth.

nttdemented's experience with BT -- For it to work over BT all I had to do was toggle it on (let it do its thing and reset) pair my netbook (running Win7) to the Phone and then join the computer to the BT PAN network of the Pre and I was golden.

i take no credit for this app and the original thread can be found here:

is this exactly like the tethering for the windows mobile?.. does it need to be connected or can it send the tether through wireless signaling?

your pre will need to be rooted first of all and to answer your question right in the first line hahaha

It allows you to tether over USB, or Bluetooth PAN, and allows you to make your Pre into an WiFi [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]hotspot[/COLOR][/COLOR] to share your EVDO connection.
