PdaNet for hack-free Android tethering

**aaronb11** · 03-21-2009, 11:52 PM

I have two questions for anyone:

1) Can someone give me a relative example of what it means to use 10gb?

2) I've used the pdanet, but today it stops & a dialog box declares my version is expired. What gives?

I've already tried to search out these answer myself without luck or without understanding what's said. Please assume I'm a minimum wage earning grill cook without any tech sense (I'm actually unemployed, but the latter part is true).

thanks

I was wrong...I have a third question.

3) 10gb per what? Day, last hour?

I would have to disagree, I have not rooted not because I don't know how (I have already hacked many devices with no problem) but because I don't want to void my warranty and don't have time to go through and figure out how to hack yet another device. Plus I am waiting until I know how reliable it is.

It's 10GB in a 30 day billing cycle. The thing is, the average user probably will never get close to the 10gb max...unless your life is on the internet, and I mean all day, everyday, literally blowing the web up..and you download a lot of files/videos, movies, songs, etc., then the possibility is you'll get closer to it than most. But, realistically, put it this way...I'm using an 8GB memory card..I have 2 seasons of Dave Chappelle show, 4 movies, over 200 songs/ringtones, 300 pix, AND all of my apps backed up on my card, and I still have 2.5 GB left. hope that gives you somewhat of an idea. (10 GB is more than enough for the average user, IMO) Even if this method would be your only source for the internet, I think you'll be ok.

I also have a rooted G1 and last night, I tested out BOTH pdanet and the ToggleTether app, which also gives you the ability to use ur phone as a modem over wifi. Even though pdanet is secured, its rather slow on Edge (actually listed it as a dial up connection on my networks screen)...on Toggletether which is unsecure, me and a friend were loading up pages in 35 secs at the same time off my G1/Edge connection (NM doesnt have 3G as of yet

..)

Version 1.14(beta) appears to be pretty stable and usable. The only thing I had any problem with is that it does not appear to support FTP transfers, but I can do that directly from the G1.

It seems much more stable and perhaps a bit quicker.

someone please help me!!! windows auto installs the driver, and it detects no ADP interface. i've tried a 100 times, with no luck. Is there any way to manually install the driver or something? UGH!

I have been using PDAnet for almost 2 weeks and it works great but each time I go on SKYPE or Google Video Chat, my PDAnet connection to the Net book gets cut. Once in while I can get through and get a good video connection but most of the time it just cuts off when someone answers the phone. I can sometimes get a good audio connection but video rarely stays connected for more than a few minutes. I have talked to Tmobile and they say they are not doing this. I wrote to June Frabrics but they don't seem to be too interested to helping me with this now that they got their $29

10/12/09 - I'm running Donut on my G1, and PdaNet won't install on the phone. It seems to install ok on my PC (WinXP, SP3) but the install hangs when it tries to install on the phone. I had the phone set to install non-Market apps and had USB debugging turned on. I tried turning the phone off and on as the PdaNet help suggested, but it still just hangs at the phone install. Anybody have any suggestions? Has Donut simply blocked the ability to install this app??? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
