Yo all!!
ok.. i have been trying to get my phone to connect Via HTC sync V2 and latest V3 but have been told that it will not work as we are not using Sence? (FroydVillain 1.5)
if so... i need a little help....
With HTC Sync (before Froyd..), i could get the phone to use the computers internet.
Is there any way of doing this without Sync?
Cheers all
Simple as that! You have FV 1. 5!!!! Just connect the usb cable and enable tethering under >setting >wireless connection, you can now use wireless or 3G with your pc... ;-)

Im confused why would anyone want to use the computers internet connection on a phone when they are tethered?
I can see wanting your computer to use 3G but not the other way around. Am i missing something something here ?

You're definitely missing something,... For people without unlimited data plans maybe?
Or maybe turn off the phone and use the computer?

yes i can see that aps will cost if you've got no data plan with a smart phone, i did have to abort a few auto updates when i was on holiday and being charged roaming rates and now routinely set them to off. If it was me I would look for the apk files from and load them from the sd card or failing that walk the streets looking for an open wifi
had a quick google and found this , hope it help the op

Not heard if it worked for anyone, so thought I'd bump this link again. It sounds like what you're after.
ok i have the droid X and love it <33 but i installed Fission and love it more <3 but i need the 3g hotspot app because i love using it during school for the school computers >:] i need a way to install it i have the team black hat way to install it but it doesnt seem to work even when i mount the System folder i tried it without too What should i do :[?
Verizon 3g Hotspot
I copied the 3g hotspot zip from TBH after downloading and placed it onto my sandisk card root. I then bootstrapped into recovery and installed the 3g hotspot zip and rebooted. Worked for me. do not wipe anything just instal the zip.
TBH 3G Hotspot patcher has to be installed also. I copied it to the sandisk card and installed and rebooted. No need to wipe.
Wait really and you're running fission? I'm pretty sure that blurless roms such as fission and rubix cannot install the 3g hotspot app because it's missing some blur dependencies.

I keep trying to do that, like install the ZIP. It installs but it wont show in my App Tray it says its in the systems folder but thats it
Can't just use the market one?

No its not in the market. He's talking about the plain old wireless tether. A lot of people dont understand the difference between a wireless access point, and ad hoc data transfer.
Besides the guy a few posts up, I havent found anyone that can get it to work on non-blur rom.
Good luck, and report back if you to get it to go! I havent tried it yet myself.

Apex is NOT a non-blur rom. It's framework is 2.3.15. Fission/Focused are from the Moto SDK. Please let us know if this works on an actual blurless ROM.
3g Hotspot.
My mistake.
i am really interested in finding a way to get verizons 3g hotspot to work on a blurless rom like fission. i had to sbf back to stock to use it as i really need the infastructure of it versus the ad-hoc you get from wireless tether.if anyone has any luck please post
3g hotspot
Same here. I could not live with ad hoc.
Hello excuse my ignorance, but this 3g hotspot is to use for free or still have to pay???? I asking cause I see the patch file

ummmm.. Did you mean to post that here. That is a link on how to root your device the original way with cmd prompt and all lol.
Fission version from TBH. you still need to patch it on ur own. Use the TBH app to get the patch. File is courtesy of DroidForums dot net that they fished from TBH anyway.
Fission signed 3G hotspot apk. Angdroid posted it on droid forums. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...vanilla-2-1-11-13-2010-generic-android-4.html

I've seen a little about this - but couldn't find the answer.
Sorry if I'm repeating on someone else's thread.
I've got a Rooted (EC07) Continuum right now & just came from a Droid 1 (which I loved).
I can't find a way to remove the 3G Mobile Hotspot app from Verizon.
On my D1, I previously used Wireless Tether 2 & it was so awesome.
No when I open up the 3G otspot, it takes the device that is hooking up to my hotspot to a Verizon web page that requests a subscription.
I just want to use it free again, like on my D1.
Any suggestions on how I could do this?
I have already tried downloading other Wireless Teher apps apps & none of them seems to work properly.
Thanks.
I suppose you could remove the app with an explorer or Titanium Backup. I doubt it would get rid of it in the settings menu. I use open garden, and it works fine (assuming you aren't trying to connect with something that can't use ad-hoc)

Why not you guys check out wireless tether beta 7 or whatever they are onto now, and go to settings, and set it as a fascinate xD then you can actually use it as a regular network, not adhoc xP
Also, I think 3g hotspot is a part of settings.apk if I remember correctly xP so you can't really get rid of it :l

thats funny... I googled wireless tether beta7, and this post is the first hit that comes up...
here is the site for it.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The app is built into the framework of the ROM I believe, or is tied into another piece of the ROM that can't be removed. The only way to really "remove" it is to use a launcher that allows you to hide app icons and just remove it from view.

Thanks guys.
I appreciate the info. Just got wifi tether 6.
Also you can "freeze" 3g hotspot, and anything else that's annoying you, using "Bloat Freezer", found in the market for $1.99. Or with Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) which is worth its weight in gold anyway.
that literaly does nothing except prevent the app from running and the app dosnt run in the background when your not using it. the bloat freezer is ment for apps using gps and updating weather that drains your battery.
I was just curious how hard it would be to get around it. Thanks!!!

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

If I root my phone gs4, does that mean I can use hotspot for free? Or is free hotspot usually included in the rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try searching
As W7 said. This is such and old question. Do yourself a favor and find the answer yourself.

Rooting your phone allows you to install software that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, due to carrier or device software limitations.
IF you root your phone, there are a large number of hotspot apps that you can install that will provide a hotspot for you. ROM's are usually just a collection of software (with the occasional performance tweak) that you can install. 99 times out of 100, ROM authors have merely borrowed someone else's hotspot app and packaged it in with the rest of the apps that they like. So no, you do not need to install a ROM just to install a hotspot app.
<Necessary Legalese> Keep in mind though, that if you cannot install a hotspot app and one was not provided on your phone, it's likely against the terms of service from your carrier. :angel:
I've done the searching and I realize this might be old, but I've been using hotspot with my gs4 for free and I don't have any hotspot apps. I'm running pacman but id like to play with other ROMs, just don't want to lose my free hotspot ability.

the vast majority of roms have wireless tether built in. if you find one that dosent then there are multiple apps to make the feature avaliable.
