You can try this: http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/beginners-guide-to-tetherbot-photo-tutorial
I have not try it me self.

Get easytether lite on the market, It's free, doesn't go through a proxy, and allows https sites. I've been using it since I got my phone, works great and is very fast to connect.
Edit: Sorry didn't realize you said wirelessly, as far as I know you have to be root for that to work.

Anyone use barnacle wifi and for it working?

Anyone using barnacle wifi on mytouch and able to actually tether? I know about wifi tether built into the phone or the wireless tether app. Those work fine, I want to use barnacle because of its open NAT. So no critics please. I just need someone that got it to work because my device can see it, but barnacle won't show me its connected or that its a client

I have it installed and configured, but can't get anything to connect to it. The SSID broadcasts, but it shows up as an available "device" vs. a wifi network. I try to connect by with and without WEP (Barnacle says it failed to parse WEP if security enabled), and it appears to connect, but Barnacle shows no client connections and no access from the other device.
Just using the android wifi tether app instead...

Hope it's not a (too) stupid question - with a rooted device, can I use the Wi-Fi Tether bundled app w/o the tethering option in my plan (read: for free)?
Thanks

Hi there
I use Wifi tether for root users, looks and works better than Barnacle

Which version have are you using?
None of them specify MT4G.

I have a rooted Mytouch 4g running 2.2 and was able to get "Android-wifi-tether" working using the version for the Samsung Fascinate 2.x. Its the last option at the link h4xdaplanet provided.
I cant provide a direct link since I have a new account, sorry.

Thanks
I actually got this one to work a while ago but forgot to update

I am using to built in hot spot with no issues at all, before and after root. Not a stupid question. As long as you have the data plan, afaik, there is no current extra cost for using wired or wireless tethering. Hope this helps.

[Q] ps3 connecting to evo 4g

I recently rooted my EVO 4G and downloaded the wifi tethering app. So, a couple questions. 1. Is this an ad hoc network? 2. I dont think ps3 supports ad hoc networks, so is there a way to connect my laptop to my phone and have the laptop act as the AP (non ad hoc).

Nevermind, figured it out. I guess the android wireless tether app is not ad hoc. As my ps3 was able to connect. Worked extremely good by the way.

How did you do it? I need to test it with my G2 but with my slide the ps3 didn't even see the signal from my phone - or if it did, it didn't up on the connection list after scanning.

Use calk sprint hotspot hack works flawlessly

And how would you change the NAT settings to open using WiFi tether? Call of Duty black ops is on strict when using wifi tether, no lag or anything just hard to connected to friends???

[Q] pda net

Installed PDA net to try and tether via Bluetooth. Did not work. Uninstalled PDA net and now my Market says it can't connect to the network

If you used the pdanet tablet edition open the app and clear the proxy. If you did not, u will not see the web.

[Q] how to pick up wifi tether ?

I was looking in the ICS thread and was reading that some ICS user can pick up wifi tether from there android phones and I was hoping someone could tell me how to do so thank you in advance if you can help me

If your android phone is rooted you can download one of many wifi hotspot apps from the market, i.e., Wireless Tether, Barnacle, etc. You can then connect to said hotspot via your KF. If your phone is not rooted look to your providers stock hotspot app, however if you this route you will most likely have to pay an extra premium to use this service.

You can make you phone as a hotspots active if you have data connection agreement with your phone services provider. Check if you have this option in the mobile wireless setting in your smart phone. Please note there is additional cost for data a d you should join a package that fit your need
