Hey guys... I want to try to figure out how to share my internet connection that I have tethered to my computer from an android phone... with my ps3. any suggestions?

anybody?

You need to have a rooted phone and the app Android Wifi Tether. Which pretty much turns your phone into a Wifi hotspot.

I just tested this and it works. Not sure it'll work well when playing a game, but it does work.

Did you manage to get this to work? What phone do you have?

Cheap bastard.

CPimp · 02-26-2010, 03:59 PM

go fuck yourself bronco67... if you want to pay the $600 that it takes to get satellite in my area, then be my guest honey.

No, I haven't messed wih this yet because I forgot to subscribe to the thread to get updates on the replies. Will mess with it tonight and see what I can come up with.

I read somewhere that you might be able to hook a router to your computer and do internet connection sharing with your ethernet port, but I didn't feel like digging the router out.

Does rooting the phone cause stability issues or security issues?

And I have a HTC Hero. Fucking rocks.

ETA Also, I've done the tests from speedtest.net and I get about 1.2mbps download... wonder if that would be enough for cod mw2

How does it take 600 to get a satellite into an area? Just curious

1) My Credit Sucks
They want $500 for the equipment and installation fees before I can even sign an agreement with them. The sickest part about it is that not only do they force me to buy the equipment because I dont have a 750 credit score (sarcasm on the score), they want me to agree to sign my life away for 2 years in a contract. I'll do the cell phone, but what if we get DSL in 3 months out here... I am fucked. Again.

2) No other providers
We have no other providers in the area. I worked on dial up internet for over a year before just getting my htc hero a couple weeks ago.

CPimp · 02-27-2010, 01:31 AM

Well fuck. I just wasted $24 on PDANet when all I had to do was root my phone. I am pissed now.

Rooting it was easy, now I am going to try playing on my ps3.

candyflip · 02-27-2010, 07:42 AM

PDANet sucks. If you bought it through the Android Market, you have 24 hours to "return" it for a refund.

CPimp · 02-27-2010, 08:13 AM

My problem is that the shit freezes all the time on my computer so I lose my connection... and the really shitty part about this is that the IP changes like every 5 minutes it seems like... so if you're downloading something and your IP changes it throws off errors (with the ps3 at least)

Other than that, online gaming isnt bad, I played cod mw2 for most of the night. A little laggy here and there but nothing I am not used to, even with cable internet when I lived in the city playing socom 3

candyflip · 02-27-2010, 08:29 AM

Nice to hear that you can actually manage to play a game using this.

CPimp · 02-27-2010, 05:32 PM

Yeah, I'm gonna go play some more later. I installed a custom ROM which I do not like so I am restoring back to factory then will re-root the phone again, leaving the factory ROM on there (especially since they'[re coming out with a 2.1 system that is supposed to be even more streamlined and smooth in operation.)

CPimp · 02-27-2010, 05:32 PM

oh, btw... if anyone here even plays call of duty modern warfare 2, my name on there is gigedygigedyyeah

Yeah :D
