is it possible to tether without root right now?
Yup you can use a non-rooted android phone as a modem only thing is it is only a free trial. but click the LINK to see the developers site.
Great, did anyone try it? The trial and the full version?
Hows the full version? Worth the bet?
Thanks guys!
I've tried the trial, it works pretty well. Some things do not work on the trial version, for example I think you cannot browse https sites without the full version. Not sure if many other alternatives exist if you are not rooted though!
Without root you can use Proxoid (free) or PDAnet ($29) and you need to have the phone connected by USB cable. Proxoid does have limited functionality.
If you have root you can tether properly via wifi with aNetShare (free), android-wifi-tether (free) or tether Wifi (~$9).

Achieved root with z4root, now the nag screens stating that provisioning is required has disappeared from the stock navigation and hotspot apps. Are these apps jow jailbroken or do I need to find alternate apps?

I'm not quite following what you mean? Before you were rooted the vz navigator and vz hotspot apps aren't displaying message?
I recommend using google maps over the vz navigator if that is what you are using. Could you please provide some more details?

Before root both the vzw nav and the stock 3g hotspot app had nag screens stating provisioning required to use the apps. After root both apps now appear to fully work. Are these apps now unlocked, ie vzw is not going to see the use of these apps and charge me, or should I use other apps such as google nav and tether for root users?

AH! ok, now I think I've got what you're asking =)
You will still be charged to use these apps... Didn't know that the provisioning page disappeared with roote privileges though. I would recommend using google maps, as the newest version allows for offline use through caching, and I personally like it better, because its free.
As for the wireless tether, if you are just looking for simple internet access through tethering, I would use wireless tether for root from the market. If you are dying to use the VZW hotspot, there are 2 hacks to use it... The first involves starting the hotspot app, then toggling flight mode on and off, then going back into hotspot, and tyou should be good to teher. Method 2: Team black hat has a hack that allows you to use and update.zip to allow the hotspot to work without the fee. You will need to google around for it. This is more of a "not recommended, as it violates morals/ethics" kinda thing. Just an fyi.

Thank you, allready installed tether for root. Works great! I could care less about the nav app, but my wife feels she really needs it! (she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag). Again thanks!

Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.
i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.
so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.
i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....
hope it works
hi,
I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
What about Amazon app store?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the app is called proxy settings
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result
I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278
I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.
"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION
For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."
Hope it helps....
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.
Guess its back to finding a robust proxy
I was able to buy and then install the tablet keyboard on my xoom..
First I bought it on my nexus s using market enabler as paid apps are not available where I live. Then on the xoom and using a VPN connection in US I was able too see my purchased apps and downloading any of them.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
which VPN service are you using. it seems its the only way i guess.
Part Solution
OK, so I managed to use Market access a market enabler clone...
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
i still cant see the tablet optimised apps, but i can at least see all the apps ive purchased before. so its a step in the right direction.
it goes without saying that i had to root my device...

I've been using Banana VPN for a while on my PC and they are excellent. You can look at other options too as you can find cheaper alternatives.
Could the GPS not be betraying us?
It's bloody accurate. It shows me in the yard and even which direction I am facing.

So market enabler worked. U can download paid apps but they will not be listed in the market and you will have to search for them.
At least it works
But did u root it to use market enabler?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
yes you have to root it. though rooting with tiamat sd card hack gave me major market install issues..... so i had to root and remove the tiamat kernel
And how did u do that?
U can replace the kernel after rooting with no problem at all?
The Tiamat kernel is not needed to root =O?
What I did to get paid apps onto my unrooted Wifi Xoom, was to use MarketEnabler to download them to my rooted phone, then use Titanium Backup to extract the apk, and then transferred the apk to my Xoom, and then some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.

I find that once I purchase an App with my MarketEnabled phone, I can find and download it on my Xoom directly
edit:
Then again I'm using a Verizon 3G Xoom but outside of the US, that may be why
Anyone have an apk for the Wifi tether app? It doesn't seem to be on the market anymore.

You could also try Barnacle, it's still in the market...
I believe barnacle was removed too. Just the donate wiget was left on market.
That's strange...when I search for Barnacle from the phone, only the donate widget shows up, but searching for it on my computer (in the regular old Android Market) it is there.
Edit: OK, it's because I've got two other devices linked to my account. Ironically it is still available for my Nook Color, but it obviously wouldn't do any good there!
Different providers block those apps. Sprint recently had them removed.
Can you jsut use the one included in most roms? or if one isnt included can you use an apk that someone else has backed up and install it on your phone? if that will work I can send you one for a sense 3.5 rom.
Dear xda-developer geniuses:
I got my Nexus 4 from play store and got the T-mobile unlimited 4G plan (no cap), without tethering plan. The phone is rooted with stock 4.2.2
It's my first android device, so I looked all over for ways to tether, but failed to make any of them work properly:
- I use firefox with useragent switcher.
- I've tried Wifi tether rooted app, but only macbook can detect it (under wifi device). Windows and android tablet does not detect it. I've also tried with Hotspot shield and onavo extend app.
- I've tried the TrevE Mod wifi tether app, no luck. (If you got this working, what are your settings)
- I've tried 1-click tether, clockwork tether, foxifi, barnacle, none of them worked for me.
- If I use the Nexus built-in tether function, Windows can connect to it, but it is limited (I've waited 30mins, it stays limited).
Anyone successfully got tethering working on their nexus 4? Please share your method! Thank you!
I use the stock app, and I'm not rooted.
On my Firefox browser, I would have to change the user string to android phone or whatever. It works fine and can torrent okay (some ports are blocked on TMO).

Thanks for the reply!
Can I ask what is the user string you are using? I'm not sure if the one I use is appropriate: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; Nexus One Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1"

I'm on the Android 2.2 string.
i pay for the tethering service from tmobile, since i need to tether about every day. i have no issues tethering my other devices(galaxy nexus, nexus 7, laptop) to my nexus 4. i use the native wireless tether option mostly, but the other apps work fine also.
