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

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

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!

mods please delete this if it's against forum rules. It's a free app so I don't think it should be an issue since there's no piracy involved.

Shouldnt this thread be in General?

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.

FREE USB, WiFi, Bluetooth Tethering

I know someone probably has posted this already but over an hour looking for a suitable solution without installing some app on my phone and computer...
I was running CleanG3 on my Epic and the USB and WiFi tethering worked fine but got sick of the update notification to FC09, so I resetup my phone with Android 4.0.4 ICS and CyanogenMod 9 B3. Normally I would simply ask on that thread but my account limitations says I can't...
I want to use the built in USB or WiFi tethering but it has to be "unlocked" first because I'm not paying Spring $40/mo to use my own unlimited data. Even the Bluetooth tethering would be cool, but really I only need one of them to work and prefer USB.
Anyone know of something I can flash or what ever to get rid of the sprint checks so it works?
Thanks in advance!

I was trying that... Found the issue though.
In order for USB Tethering to work you have to disable USB Debugging. I don't really know why my original test of WiFi tethering didn't work, but after disabling debugging that seems to work now too. Still haven't tested the BT Tether, but I have a feeling maybe that works too.
Thanks for the assistance!

FoxFi is working fine on stock no root required.
Sprint is blocking it in the Market, but you can download apk directly from their web site.

Im having a similar issue. Im rooted with the stock Rom. I dont have a custom rom nor do i really want one for the fact that im still new to all this and i probably wouldnt know how to.
My issue is that i cannot wifi tether my phone to my laptop. I have the app WiFi Tether. I enabled access. I have checked usb debugging. But for some reason my laptop does not read that my phone is a wireless router... I have also tried physically usb connecting it but it wont work that way either. Anyones help would be appreciated.

Try foxfi which was posted right above your post... just tried it and it worked great for me... could be a problem with it not broadcasting in infrastructure, but in ad hoc... some cpus don't connect to ad hoc networks... foxfi should broadcast infrastructure...

Thanks!!! ^^^ It worked great! I hope it lasts!

Trying to figure out the problem with my internet connection so i figured id revive this thread. I downloaded foxfi with no issues and it worked great up until this morning... I have a feeling it is because of the new system update but not sure. I notice that when foxfi is running now it no longer activates sprint hotspot like it used to. Any suggestions or someone know anything? Thanks in advance.

Well, this is still the Epic 4G forum, regardless of what phone you have...
We just tend to assume that accidental strays into this forum are Touch owners, because that phone does at least have "Epic" in the name...

That explains why I forgot that the Touch is the GS2... as soon as I learned that the Epic Touch lacked the hw keyboard, I tuned it out
I think I've been elligible for my upgrade for at least a month or three, but I'm seriously considering sticking with my OG Epic until it dies - hopefully a worthy replacement will come out by then...

Tethering
okay, so there is no charge from sprint for this then, correct? or is there?? i dont want to be surprised when my bill comes!
Im running CM9.

No. They cannot add the fee unless you request adding the plan and agree to terms and conditions. However they can cancel you altogether for excessive data use under TOS. It is hard to prove you are using your phone as a modem without a tethering plan so they cancel you for excessive data use. Reading between the lines means don't be a data hog.
