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.

That thread which I mentioned is basically using your phone's wireless chip to look for wireless networks, making your phone a wireless modem
is this a froyo only feature? or will we be able to do this once we receive eclair? is the hardware even capable of this? my apologies if this has been previously discussed.
It's possible now, just root your phone and install Barnacle WiFi Tether (free from market). Go into settings>interfaces set LAN to "athwlan0" (without quotes), and you're all set.
I've tried this app.
It works great with my x10.
In fact i sending this message from my notebook which internet connection powered by my x10 thru wifi tether by Barnacle
Thanks for info.
Thanks!

Does your provider know you are tethering so he make you paid for this special feature ?

Just don't tell them...
Just watch how much data you use, and don't overdo it, and they shouldn't get suspicious.

Imo the provider does not have anything to do with what i do with my data plan, the deal is what it is, i have 1ggb high speed and above that my provider will lower the speed. I can use twice the data but it will be slow

i can't surf via barnacle. i've set the LAN settings to athwlan0 as stated by another post. and i can connect to the hotspot it creates. but i get no internet access on my computer. unable to browse anywhere.. do i need to set a DNS?
In semi related news if you're on Rogers the $30 6 gig data plan is back for a limited time. If you use network data like me it's well worth it

U need to root and install wifi tethering app. Use search button.

You can use Proxoid, no need to have root, only need to have Android SDK installed on PC!
Tutorial (it's in Portuguese, you can translate it via google translator):
http://pplware.sapo.pt/portabilidade/proxoid-internet-no-pc-atravs-do-android/
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

i use my phone only 3g with pdanet(with usb mode), i will try with wifi
Hi I have a PC connect via ethernet to the internet, I would like to connect my phone to the computer so I can broadcast my computers internet connection to my iPad for example. Don't want to use mobile data tethering thanks. I can use either a HTC Hero or Samsung GS2. Is this possible at all? any apps that will let me do this?
I'm not sure if it forces mobile data when hotspot is enabled.
If not, I'd connect the phone to the PC using internet pass through with mobile data disabled and hot spot enabled. I'm unsure if it will use your PC's internet when broadcasting though

You want your computer to be a Wi-Fi router? Try Connectify. You will need a Wi-Fi card to make it work.

I'm also looking for the same kind of thing...but couldnt find any..
The series is like Computer(with internet) >> Phone(Getting internet via "Internet Pass Through") >> Broadcasting that internet using WifiHotspot
Is that possible?

If your computer has a Wi-Fi card/builtin, you can use something like Connectify to turn your computer into a hotspot.

Like a PCI card or it's built into all laptops built in the last ten years.
If I had a wireless card..I wouldnt even bother about getting a phone with "Internet Pass Through"
What I am asking is "A Desktop without a wifi card but has a wired internet connection needs to provide internet to a laptop"
What are we having with us? - A Phone with "Internet Pass Through" enabled
A Desktop (With no WIFI card)
A Laptop (With a WIFI card ofcourse)

Laptop would work. It has built-in Wi-Fi and probably a 10/100[/1000] ethernet port.

You still don't understand mate...
What I meant to say is
PC is WIRED with broadband connection...It is passed to the phone using Internet Pass Through...
Now THE GOLDEN QUESTION IS HOW TO BROADCAST THIS INTERNET(that is present in the phone through IPT) USING ANY HOTSPOT APP!

follow this reverse tethering guide (i've tested this one and it's working):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
and when it's done... try and activate the wifi hotpot feature of your android phone.

Oh gotcha. Sounds like you got an answer above but if that doesn't work, hook your phone up to the laptop and use an app like Connectify on that laptop. Sorry I didn't understand.

Hello guyz. I need some help.
I want to use internet on my lappy via sgy. I have tried usb tethering & creating portable wifi hotspot but using them, the internet disconnects frequently (specially with usb, the connection gets lost or doesn't respond).
So kindly tell me a way to fix these issues or some other way to use internet (like by using bluetooth)...
NOTE: I am on HSDPA network.
try foxfi (playstore)
and next time remember questions go in the Q & A Section NOT general section!!!!
Any other way...
Oh sorry for posting in the wrong secrion. I have tried that foxfi app too but the disconnection problem persisted...
Is there any other app or a way to use internet via bluetooth??

Easytether, the easiest app for tethering i've ever seen it works well, i used it in college to bypass the proxy, this way i was able to play Quake Live in class during exams ^^"
You must have Data of course
