Sideload Wonder Machine: How to use it

You guys are doing a great service. I wanted you to know. I have the Aria now and I downloaded the tether software, which I LOVE. I am getting the Inspire tomorrow for the better camera and more internal memory. I do have a question though.. I will post it in next thread, so that you can Quote it... BRB!
 
OK here is the question... I was told that since I have unlimited internet (thank GOD I did that years ago) that the "HOT SPOT" isn't going to work for me. This "HOTSPOT" would make tethering useless. But has anyone else run into issues with this? And I am not "Jargon Friendly", so I am assuming that "SIDELOAD" is the trick of putting your phone in airplane mode, then turning on WIFI, so that the phone will not use or recognize the AT&T network? I did this originally with the Tilt2 and the Aria, to get downloads that AT&T stopped. For things like PDANet, etc. I want to be prepared for the new phone so I am going to buy a new PC just to work on the HTC SYNC thing. I have had issues in the past where I have had to delete then reload that software to make things work.
 
I've never experimented with this option. I would ask this in the help forum for the Inspire or one of the main threads on AF. I would love to help but I think that the knowledge base of posters in this particular thread are not going to be able to help you here.

IMO, just use tethering. Hotspot is most likely going to cost money.

Hi I just installed SWM and I tried to install some live wallpapers just to experiment around. The program claims it was successful, but I still can't find the wallpapers. Was their an error or are the wallpapers somewhere else? Thanks.

*EDIT*

Nevermind, I just restarted my phone and it works! Thanks so much for this.
 
being the New-Bee in this Android speak, I want to say thanks for the positive ways that people have corrected my postings.

I would also like to say that I tried, with success the "Airplane Mode" trick and it worked. Here is how I downloaded PDA-Net, so I can use my laptop on my with my phones internet for a bigger screen experience.

1-Start with a fresh boot to both PC and Phone. This isn't required but it cant hurt.
2-Download the PDA-Net software for the PC.
3-Go to your system Settings/Wireless & networks, and turn off the Bluetooth, WIFI and Mobile networks.
4-Turn on Airplane Mode.
5-Turn back on WiFi
6-Open which ever App Market you like.
7-Now you should be able to download any app that wasn't available for download before, like PDA-Net.
8-Download PDA-Net
9-Run App on phone.
10-Run Software on PC
11-Connect Phone to PC with USB cable.
12-Open the PDA-Net icon on system tray of PC
13-Choose: CONNECT INTERNET
14-TA-DA you are now surfing the internet using the AT&T Phone network with your PC.

To test to make sure it is going right... Try and do something that can only be done on the internet. I use the "Internet Backgammon" on my PC to do this. If it connects and you are playing then you are connected.

Also another Quick tip.... If you have HTC SYNC on your computer take it off, unless you need it. It will cause you to have to do 2-3 other steps to connect the PC to the internet. And unless you live with its sync'ing stuff you don't need it anyway. I use another computer that has a dedicated Internet line for syncing my phone with HTC, and just use Google/Facebook/Flicker/APP Market to sync everything else on the fly. And I put PDA-Net on 3 Laptops so they are 100% mobile with internet.

Now if I can just figure out how to get rid of bloat-ware and not have to Root I will go from Golden to Platinum....LOL
 
having trouble with SWM. I have .NET 4 installed. HTC sync installed. My .APK file is in the payload folder and the entire SWM folder is on Local disc (C:). I keep getting this error.

2 things: 1.) random post in a thread that has nothing to do with the portable hotspot feature. 2.) this was discovered when the inspire was first released. check thread http://androidforums.com/inspire-4g...62-tethering-without-root-tethering-plan.html

Not playing junior monitor and those posts are from feb 22, shockingly enough the thread I linked too was feb 26. The ones from april are discussing an app for tethering that is not available in the market and would have to be sideloaded or using the method discussed in post 30 to get it to work.
