Tethering

I searched for 'tethering' and 'tether' but didn't find it here.
Tethering allows you to use your phone as a router to access data services from laptops and other similar devices. While the speeds may not be close to broadband, with maximum connectivity with 3G webpages load quite fast.

Android ?! Moto - HTC ?

If its a free open source app and not a paid app from the market your fine run a search though for wireless tether for root users and go to the google.code and you can get the WiFi tether app

If you have root, then yes, Wireless Tether for Root Users solves that and doesn't get you charged by your carrier
I've used it extensively on Sprint, as long as you're not tethering to a lot of deivces, you're good

Point us to an APK that does it...?
Exectly, it doesn't exist for the Vibrant yet.
Though, the OP could've searched and found that there is work going on, but it doesn't work 100% yet.

I tried this and it doesn't work for me. Anyone else get this working?

Yes. It works. Search the development thread. There is a topic in there specifically regarding this application.

Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre7 works perfectly fine on the Vibrant. You BOTH "could've" searched.

Initially my post was about porting the stock wifi tethering on the i9000 if it was possible or not.

Works perfectly fine for some. I've had no luck with that. However, I have had some luck with barnacle.

Barnacle was working for me, but didn't like how I had to adjust the mtu on the pc I was using, like to just use it on anyone's stock mtu settings in windows. I'm using Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre7 now and it's working great. Much faster at accepting my connection and doesn't seem to stall out on big file transfers either.

Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre8 works great on my vibrant

tethering with the D2

Is anyone using PDAnet with the D2? I need to know if it works before I go out and get a D2 for my wife.

Yo dude, I'm not positive but I think pda net is trialware. I'm using easytether, works great on the latest OTA update.

I use PDAnet, I actually purchased the full version before I learned about rooting. It DOES work on my Droid2 to the best of it's capabilities. I tried the EasyTether one, but I like the PDAnet simplicity.

droid 2 just got rooted check out the android development section of the xda for the droid 2 and you'll see a post on how to do it. then just download a free wifi tether app and you should be all good

I have to agree. Ive used several over a period of time and PDAnet has always been good. The free version will work but just does not allow SSL sites. However, I have a full version from when I had my Evo

After I got off work today I ordered a D2 and a DX. Finally I will be back with Android and be done with WiMo!!

Tether to Zune HD

Hey,
I can't seem to get my Zune hd to jump on my Droid 2 Network, anyone knows how could i do this?
i already tried using the latest version of the Wifi tether
Thanx!

just confirming i couldn't get it to work either. I rooted my phone and that was the first thing i downloaded and was disappointed when it didn't seem like wireless tethering worked, but i tried my fathers DX and it connected to my droid 2 fine

You might try goggling "google wifi tether" and see if that application fixes it. I'm not familiar with the zune hd so I don't have any specifics.

Trust me, i used every search method available NOTHING. the only thing that would work is a tethering application capable of Infrastructure tethering

For some reason I thought it was capable of infrastructure mode. My bad.
I've heard there was a way to hack the 3G hotspot so that it doesn't charge you but I don't remember if it's been proven okay on the D2 or not.
EDIT: Now I remember where I read it. It was in the Android Development section>the sticky from Darkonion "Droid 2 Information Directory":
3G Hotspot for Droid 2
Hosted on Droid Forums, see post #4 for info.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...g-hotspot.html

This hack is not legal and violates your Terms Of Service from VZW (from a post in the link) But allows infrastructure mode with the existing 3G hotspot app without costing you the VZW rates!
Here's another one from the Info Dierectory that can do it without being rooted:
How to: Rootless 3G Mobile Hotspot - AP/Infrastructure Mode (by Tekahuna)
In the Droid X section, but should work for D2 as well!

Probably but I think hacking the application provided by verizon is probably the worst lol.

I guess i'll wait for a infrastructure tethering app. I don't think that hacking the big red own app a good idea lol
thanks for the help!

Tethering Issues

Hey guys, got another question for you helpful people.
I'm running CM7 and using the Tiamat kernel. I was using the tethering app from the market, Wireless Tether and now (I recently went to CM7) the tethering app will not work. I really need this app to work. Will someone please help?
I really appreciate all of you guys helping me out.

CM7 has wireless tethering built in. The wireless tether app from the market won't work. I don't remember exactly where it is in the settings, but I believe it's just under Wireless&Networks.
