I use verizon droid x, have a stock rom, and want to use my device as a router for my notebook. Verizon haas a solution but they charge for it. I can't find an app on the android market for this. Anybody know of an app that can connect free?

Wireless Tether for Root Users
You are going to need to root to use the wireless tether. Or if you don't want to root you can use pdanet or easytether but they are not wireless. You have to plug your phone in with usb to the computer and use their computer programs to connect. If you choose to root so you can use wireless tether check out z4root.

I rooted my Droid X and got the wireless tether app to work. My only question is if I use my phone to tether will any extra data charges show up on my account? I have the unlimited data package, but I don't have tethering on my account.

you will not be charged using the Wireless Tether app. Assuming you're refering to this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
That's the one. Thank you very much.

Ya it works great as long as only one device is connected. However with mine other android phones can't see my wifi as an option, but laptops work fine.

Thats because it is a Ad-Hoc type of wifi. There is still a known problem with windows 7 and ad-hoc networks though (you have to re-establish the connection every time you want to use it on the pc). If you are running xp/vista, you should have no problem reconnecting every time.
There ARE hacked versions of the Motorola Hotspot app that will allow true, non ad-hoc, Hotspot functionality, while still not having to pay for the package. I am using it on my X with Fission 2.1 ROM. TeamBlackHat released it.. search and enjoy.

Do note that VzW can still see your data usage (how much used) and data rate (I THINK they can see this), so they'll have a good idea that you're tethering when you're not supposed to (contract violation, essentially) if you do this too much.
If you're sneaking around VzW to use tethering without paying, then do it sparingly when needed, not excessively... unless you want your contract terminated and other penalties assessed. This isn't the same thing as voiding a warranty, after all. You're essentially pirating bandwidth from them by doing this. Not that I have much of an issue with that, just warning you so you know that they do take this seriously.
Ive checked around the topics, but i havent been able to find a solution or even an app that lets me tether with this kernal, im not even sure if the wireless hotspot app from sprint works but is any way around this i love the 2.2 but i need the tether for xboxlive and everything else

"Wireless Tether" works, its not hard to find that app.
Wired tether works without an app, just go to settings > wireless and networks > tethering.

I'm pretty sure 2.0.5 pre14 should work fine?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
There is no solution for infer-structure tethering on Froyo yet..unless someone modifies the MobileAP app to make it work with Froyo..the person who made it work for 2.1 will not do updates for leaked builds...
I can confirm that the latest wireless tether (pre14) works fine on DK17
I can also confirm that Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre14 works on my Epic running Epic Experience 2.0.0.01 (DK17) where Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.2 (the one available in the app market) did not before.

Wired tether...is that the sprint tether? Like will it go on my bill? or does it bypass sprint
can i use PDAnet on EB01 or will i get caught
I would think you would be fine. Issues, I believe, are with wireless tethering. PDAnet needs your USB plugged in. I could be wrong, though!
try it and see...
You dont need it w eb01. Theres a usb tethering option in network settings. Used it last night without error. I did however type **usbui in the key pad, change to modem, use qpst to verify @dun.vzw was removed

I thought you needed to be rooted to use PDANet?
That's the only stipulation i'm aware of
This is the 2nd phone I've used PDAnet on, first was an unrooted or hacked WinMo phone. I just happen to be using a rooted android phone now.

The wireless app you use for xbox is the verizon hotspot? The wireless tether app for root doesnt do infrastructure mode right?
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing
I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.
actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc
I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.
Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.
Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.
Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????
His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...
You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me

Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.
