... I was just wondering if anyone has a solution that allows the Nexus One to be used as a USB modem in Mac OS.
I know I can use WiFi tethering and I know of PDANet, I am not looking for alternative solutions but rather to find out if the FroYo USB tethering functionality can be used with Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
Any help is appreciated.
well before someone comes up with a real answer (since i dont have osx) the easiest thing to do is just plug in the n1 to usb and not mount the device and turn on wifi tethering. This way its charging and being your hotspot.
Why dont you just try to see if the usb tether on froyo works on your macbook and tell us what happens? It could possibly only take 10 minutes to flash froyo plug in, test (stay there if its works), and nandroid restore (if it doesnt).

I have of course tried this and nothing happens, it is not mapped as a network card like it is if I reboot into Windows 7.
Furthermore, I have searched and found several posts saying that it does not work due to a lack of drivers in Mac OS.
However, this being XDA and the innovative nature of many of the people on this forums made me think that someone may have a solution that works.
Linux drivers
If any one can provide hints where the Linux drivers that that add USB tethering ability can be found ? May be we are just able to port them with little modifications if any would be needed at all.
The problem is
Simply and has been for ages (since HTC had this kind of USB tethering integrated since the Hero days) that the solution google uses probably is the same as htcs it relies on rndis, which OSX has no proper support for. RNDIS is perfectly supported on OS level in windows and Linux but not in OSX.
Apple has dropped the ball on this protocol for ages, but up until now this has not really hurt but now it does somewhat (thankfully Google also has provided Wifi tethering, which is an easy fix to the problem)
There have been some attempts at doing this that I can find scattered on these forums, but none seem to have been successful so far.
I'd love to stream my music through the air from my laptop to the N1 dock.
Has anyone had any success with it?
Interested +1
Also would be thrilled to know if there is a way to tweak the N1 / Dock settings so the N1 doesnt disconnect as soon as I take my phone out of the dock. Very anoying if only answering a text...
If you pair your phone with the dock in Bluetooth settings you can remove the phone from the dock and it still will play. It works for me even when I take my phone into another room.

did that by now, works as described. anyway I couldn't pair my macbook with the dock... it just didn't show up on the mac. any ideas on this issue?

any new developments on this? is there somewhere on the phone where it keeps the "key" or "bluetooth id" that you coudl copy it over to your macbook/pc?
All,
please read the following posts/threads:

I suspect it's doable by cloning the BT ID of the computer on the phone, trigger the dock to start the initial pairing, send it the PIN from the phone, then STOP everything on the phone and just display the PIN that it sent. Then connect with the computer and enter the PIN diplayed on the phone that was earlier sent to the Dock via the hardware pin.
If you guys know anyone who could help us with this, please invite them to read those two links
For the record I did a search and the only similar thread I found was from 2010 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687587 and there aren't any solution/tips in there that are still relevant.
I've been finding with a lot of different roms (all jellybean ROMS as far as I can remember, but Slim 3.1 and 4.2.1 betas 1 & 2 for sure) that as soon as I plug in a USB cable the mount prompt comes up.
Does anyone know how/if this can be disabled? I prefer to only mount when I choose to touch the notification.
Thanks for any tips/solutions.

I'm not sure if that changes anything but I'm on AOKP with USB debugging on and other than the notification, I have to go in my pulldown menu to mount up.

try enabling both usb debug and usb debug notification. if usb debug is off, it may just jump to the usb storage prompt.
I'm on CM10.0, and I don't have the problem. when I connect usb cable, I get 2 notification icons: debug and usb. I only get the usb dialog if I tap on the usb notification.
Sent from my SGH-I897
Neither USB debugging nor USB debugging notify made any change, as soon as I plug my USB cable in, the fullscreen mount prompt pops up :/
The only thing I've found so far that gets rid of it is enabling fast charge, which I guess is acceptable if no other method can be found.
Thanks for the suggestions though.
I was going to suggest what you already did and that was to enable fast charge.
I don't see anything like that in developer options on my phone... I assume by "active awy" you meant "active away"? Either way, didn't see anything similar anywhere on my phone.

you need active awy mode in developer options

He doesn't use the same phone as us.
Not sure what you mean, but for the record I've got an unlocked AT&T cappy, not a rogers one.

He has a htc mini or something like that.
the AT&T (I897) and Canadian (I896) are the same device.
I usually use my OG Samsung tab 7' for music in my truck but I wanted to see if anyone here knows how to use my phone I usually connect my tab through a data connection like in the picture and I have to mount my SD card and it works flawlessly but I guess I don't know how to mount the right way on my phone if anyone knows how to thanks a lot!
EDIT: Its cus newer devices use MTP.. Blower if anyone know some type of work around lemme know
Mine arrived yesterday, so I have not had much time to "play". But here are my first impressions and the issues I have found.
First impressions (coming from an LG G3).
It is super fast. I really like that.
The phone signal strenght seems better. So, either they "lie" on the display or the antenna is better.
No bloat - nice.
I got the 128Gb one. Loads of free memory and storage. I like that.
Screen is OK.
It came with dual sim slots which I didn't know - I can now use both sims in one phone.
Now, issues:
It won't connect to my PC. I get a "USB device not recognised" error. Spent ages chatting with their techie and I need to put it into USB debug mode and the load an ADB driver which they could not provide. How STUPID is that.
The capacitive button lights are so dim as to be unusable and only come on as you press on the spot. What is the point of that?
Bluetooth won't connect to my headset (MPows) unless I put it into APTX mode.
Bluetooth connects to my car for phone, but while it tries to play audio, there is nothing there. I have loaded some music and it plays OK using VLC. Maybe the music is in the wrong place but I have no idea how to check.
If anyone has any idea on my first issue, I would be grateful for some help.

I had this issue, it would appear to fairly common. What worked for me was the following.
1) Disconnect your phone and restart windows. (Restarting windows was necessary for me as attempting to connect the phone and it failing caused something that was only cleared by a reboot).
2) Enable developer options and on the phone and select USB debugging mode.
3) While you are in developer change Select USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
4) Check step 3) actually stuck. It takes a few goes for me and others for some reason.
5) Connect it to your PC
6) Hopefully it will mount as a drive called Oneplus Drivers or something similar (can't remember the exact name). In this driver is a setup up for the USB driver installation. Run it as admin and install.
7) If that all worked you should now have the mounted drive described above and your Oneplus 5 as a separate mounted MTP device in explorer which you can access the internal storage from.
For me, I can't disconnect and reconnect without rebooting windows and repeating steps 3,4 & 5 above. There is clearly either a bug in Oxygen or a driver issue that needs resolving but hopefully this will work for now. For info, with the phone connected my PC won't shut down. It does boot to the login screen but won't actually show the login prompts! Weird.
Thnks Chris. At the moment, I can't get MTP mode to "Stick". I'll keep trying. I may have also found some ADB drivers (on my laptop which is not near me at the moment).

One more issue - playing music over bluetooth, it occasionally "stutters" and I hear what appears to be a very small gap in the music - about 1/10th second - but noticeable. Has anyone seen (heard) this?

I have had this with a previous phone, not this one. What does the catlog say during the stutter? Mine showed errors regarding the Bluetooth communication, does yours do that? This can help you find out if it's software or hardware.
My capacitive buttons seem dimm as well, haven't really noticed that before..
AT,
What is the catlog? Where do I find that?

Alan,
If you try and set MTP mode a few times it will stick. However, the text under Select USB Configuration will still say "Charging" unless you leave the Developer options menu and go back in again. Then it should say "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)".
Chris,
You are a star. That worked and I can now see my internal storage.
Thank you
I just have to find out why my 2016 BMW will not see the music over bluetooth now (my old LG G3 worked fine)

Haven't tried to mount to PC yet. Surprising it isn't like the oneplus 3 where it mounts a separate drive on the PC with the drivers?

The only thing I can think to do is delete the phone from the car's memory entirely. Delete the connection from the phone entirely, and start all over. You may have done that, but on my 2013 Veloster I have had times where I needed to just start over completely. Having said that, no problems out of the box for me so far with the OP5 in my car, bluetooth gym headphones, or either bluetooth speaker I use. It's been very easy.
I tried that - still the same. The attached picture shows what I get.
This is my last major issue with this phone.....

Onother issue i just found out...
Maybe someone else found a fix, but i didnt....
With my OP2 i always conncted e Little USB adaptor with a micro sdcard in it to the phone to Transfer Music or any other files to or from the phone. When i connected it to the phone it imidiatly was recognized and in the filemanager one more Folder was created to manage These files.
But on my OP5 nothing happens....... can someone help?
Edit: last Oxygen Update, OTG is on, USB Debugging is on

Yeah, I think TechTablets on Youtube also mentioned USB-on-the-go not working on his OnePlus 5.

Would be sad without that feature because always connecting to my PC wouldnt be such comfortable for filetransfer....
Hope that the developer from Oneplus will fix it in future
Had an issue with the APN for T-Mobile in the US. I had data and could make VOLTE calls etc but email through TypeApp or Blue mail would not sync and various other programs had issues (connection errors), over wireless at the house everything was fine. I added the APN suggested by T-mobile haven't had an issue since. All I changed was the APN protocol to IPv6/IPv4 (was just IPv6) and removed hipri and supl from the APN type.
Everything works as it should.
hey I want to ask a question
is the camera on the op5 worse than the note 5 ?
In the advanced settings I noticed a Bluetooth codec option which might help.
I haven't tested it on the car yet. mines a 17 VW so will test it
I've tried changing the codec - no difference.
another annoiing issue....it changes network from O2/4G LTE to EPlus 3G. So i disabled automatic network and switched manual to O2 again. But the same....it really s...ks, because most time it runs with Edge only

Only issue I have at the moment is too sensitive autorotation of the screen. Even though the rotation happens very fast, I would prefer it not turning in the first place if phone is rotated only few degrees. I wish there was a way to adjust the angle when to rotate the screen.
