You can use Proxoid, no need to have root, only need to have Android SDK installed on PC!

You could always try commercial apps like EasyTether or PdaNet.
Both have free versions, but these won't allow you to use secure http (https). If my memory serves me, both these should work just as well with wifi as with 3g.
Barnacle WI FI tether is the best out there, I believe. You can find it on the market.
Do you mean use your phone as a WI FI receiver for your computer/laptop/whatever?
X8 can't WiFi tether as we don't have iptables in are kernel, you can how ever usb and Bluetooth tether with the apps suggested

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
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
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.
Would like to ask if anyone install and work with the wifi router app successfully in X8 after rooting the official Android 2.1 ROM? I am planning to buy it, see if anyone has tried it before or not. Thanks a lot!
Wifi is pretty weak on X8. Processing signal and forwarding it it's too much for a small phone like this.
(I didn't find any wifi router software)
Thanks for your feedback, because one of my plan is using it as wifi hotspot for other device to connect to internet~
Barnacle works flawlessly in mine! You'll need it rooted of course.
I guess it's sharing 3g internet over wi-fi, right? I don;t have it and doesn't work.
or just can use wifi tethering http://www.appbrain.com/app/tethering/com.guardam.Tethering

Will this work on unrooted 2.1?

No.....
Is it possible to make a Wlan Hot Spot with the X8? It is available but doesnt work for me in Racht's CM7.
Thank you for your answers!

Use barnacle wifi tether from the market.
But is it posible on 2.1 for ex. or is it possible only on specific version of Android. I have miniCM 1.0.0 2.2.1 and it says that i don't have the type of android that supports tethering.
Thank you ponanovn,
works with the tool from market!

I could be wrong but I don't think Bluetooth is very fast. Why not use USB?
I have a Bluetooth laptop. I'll try it when I have some time.
Blue tooth is not slow and u have kess chance of it getting interference I tryed a lot of time bluetooth tethering and is as good a infrastructure ofcourse it will drain ur battery

hi there. everyone is wrong here. lol
I have play as well. you don't need to use the Bluetooth. u don't need any app(depending if ur network provider has disabled tethering) here is how u use it like a wifi modem.
application>settings>wireless and networks> Tethering and Portable hotspots> portable wi-fi hot spot must be checked. then use port. wi-fi hotsport setting to change the name or the password for the wireless.
now use ur laptop and refresh the list. u must see (R800a or R800i be default name)
this could be disabled from ur network provider. if that's the case try using PDANET. its free to try and always works great with USB.
You could use the hotspot option but they charge for the data if you dont have hotspot service enabled they r gonna charge like crazy so the best way is to use an app that is gonna bypass that and he wants to use bluetooth tether so thats why im giving him that option

thx everyone , Is it more power-consuming via wifi function ?
And is it possible to access internet via USB (modem) ?
My play supports tethering via usb standard.

Is there an app working for wifi tethering on x10 ?
Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether - search on google play
the X10 for tethering. Try PdaNet
If you're trying to transfer phone internet to the computer via a usb cable, you could try using PdaNet.
I've been using it for some years now and its worked great! Just a simple run on android and run on pc and your connected.
There is also the built in tethering that some android phones have. Personally, I've never been able to find it in the settings menu so I had to install a shortcut to it.
You can look up "Tethering Shortcut" in the market and use that to access the menu.
If you meant internet on the computer via wifi tethering, you can try Baracle Wifi Tethering.
The application does require root, but if your willing to, I've heard the application works wonders.
Some phones also have the option for making a hotspot with the phone.
If you want to try, you can install that "Tethering Shortcut" I meantion earlier and seeing if it includes a menu for activating the hotspot.
