Is it possible to make the droid 2 a wifi hotspot without rooting it. There are a few apps in the marketplace that are free, but will i get charged my verizon for using them?
There is a Mobile 3G Hotspot app included on stock D2, but you will be charged extra for using it. The free Wireless Tether app requires root.

The marketplace has a tether app, not by verizon, just some custom app....would i be charged for using this?
Look up 'easy tether' or 'pdanet' on the market. Neither require root and both are free.

Have you tried Wireless Tether for Root Users?
If you want to tether with USB instead of wireless, try PDA Net - they have a free version that works pretty good except it won't let you on secure sites. Otherwise as the OP said, Wireless Tether for root users is good or Barnacle Legacy is also good.

Better off with wireless tethering for root app from market. Don't have to pay

I was wondering if I root my x, can I get the hotspot for free instead of paying an extra $20? if not i'll just not root mine.
If you root you can download wireless tether from the android market its free and its great.

Also use the latest version of z4root to root your Droid x. I've got my Droid x rooted with the free wifi tether and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks. Was making sure it was free.

the verizon 3g hotspot has a mod you can get to unlock it, but it voids the verizon tos. even if you dont get free tethering, root for the many awesome benefits anyway.
I want to make this clear. I won't be charged for wifi tethering?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Just use the wireless tether that's free in android market. Also make sure you have an unlimited data plan which I assume you have.

Hello I downloaded the latest version of wifi tether and I got the verizon block that also comes up when one tries to use the phones built in wifi hotspot app. Any ideas? I have rooted the phone and confirmed it.

Try setting the device profile to droid x.

Hey thank you for responding. Ok so I did change the device profile and it worked for two seconds and then verizon's blocking website came up in my browser. Do you by chance know What the latest version of wifi tether is? Thank you.

So is the only way to tether without restriction right now to use that toggle switch app? That somehow bypasses the check Verizon does?

It does the check, but when it tells you NO, just press the home button. Enjoy the WiFis
I couldnt get superbeam to work using the tethering toggle. I wanted to transfer files from asus tablet to note3 and the connection seemed solid but when I hit transfer I got the verizon data message again and again. Maybe Iam making things too hard using superbeam but I was able to connect the two devices.

Which app is this?
Is my assumption that the goal is "tethering without Verizon noticing and trying to change your plan" a correct assumption?

That's right. But I don't know the app name. I just heard about this working for some reason.
