If you're rooted, try the newest version of this:

Works great on my Vibrant.

Works excellent on Fascinate too.

Nevermind, I tried it on my desktop with an older version, and my laptop isn't able to find anything right now for some reason

Use barnacle legacy. The wireless tether apk link posted earlier only sets up computer-to-computer networks while barnacle sets up adhoc.

I'm using this on the fascinate and it works. Only issue is that it sets up a adhoc network instead of infrastructure. My laptop can still connect and get on the net so I'm ok with it.

Just started using this... worked like a charm. This has probably been addressed, but I have to ask to ease my mind. This won't incur any extra charges, correct?

If you are rooted then no...free...must be rooted...otherwise you have to sign up for a 30 dollar a month plan before it is unlocked...I'm a verizon rep (best buy mobile) I have a rooted dinc that I develop for...

Computer-to-computer & as-hoc networks are the same thing.
The official 3g hotspot application allows for infrastructure networks and greater security.
Has anyone managed to get the DroidX method of resetting the radio with the hotspot open to get it free working yet?

PDANet

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.

Thats cool, didnt even realize that. Any way to run my ps3 with it? Currently using the hotspot (hacked) but it cuts out all the time.

The wireless app you use for xbox is the verizon hotspot? The wireless tether app for root doesnt do infrastructure mode right?

Sprint Hotspot Hack

I came from the evo and I remember there being a hack that would let you use the sprint hotspot for free instead of wireless tether, is there a way or a fix in the making for this, cuz I prefer that app over the wireless tether app. Thanks!

You can't use 4g on the Sprint HotSpot App? Why do you prefer it? (I've never used it..)

I think they just want wireless tether? I can't use 4g regardless

Speaking of Wireless Tether... I notice the setting in there for security (wireless encryption) but I can only turn it on or off, not select the type (i.e. WPA2) Am I missing something or is it just automatic selection?

Its like that and you can't change it..I'm not sure if the updated experimental version has it or not..its on their website if ya wanna check it out

So, was anyone ever successful in modding the sprint hotspot app on a rooted stock rom?

It only allows you to use WPA/WPA2-PSK as the encryption method. Personally I think the wireless tether is a pretty good app, In addition to the encryption it gives you the option of using Access control, to deny or allow connections to the phone.

Tether to PS3

Trying everything in the market that's free. All of the apps I found claim to be working but my PS3 can't see them.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried Barnacle?
Do you BONSAI?

You're not trying to play games online through your phone's connection are you? Cause if so you will fail miserably.

Not sure, but I don't think the PS3 can connect in ad-hoc mode. Are you sure you're using an app that supports infrastructure mode, and is configured to operate that way?
Every one I've ever used has operated in ad-hoc mode...

I have tried barnacle without success. I did manage to finally get wireless tether working through the default wireless tether app that comes with asc roms.
Now all I have to do is improve my 4g signal strength. Thinking about overclocking a tower or two. ;p

**HERES HOW TO TETHER YOUR DATA TO YOUR PS3**
First you must tether to your laptop (if you have one). Then what you do is get an ethernet cable (cheap on ebay) and hook it from your laptop to your PS3.
Then you have to share your data from your laptop to your PS3. I can't say exactly how to do it on your laptop cause I don't know what kind you have so you will have to look up how to share your internet connection from your laptop to other devices.
Thats pretty much the short explanation. Look up on youtube "how do i tether to ps3" and you will see exactly what to do. Thats how I figured it out

Wifi tether not for xp

Ok so wen I turn on wifi tether it also turns on the built in wifi and then returns it off.
When it does that, built in hotspot and wifi say error. Can anyone show me alternative wifi tether apps?

I am assuming you are using Wireless Tether.
Ya, it doesn't work very well. I am using Barnacle Wifi Tether, it broadcasts ad-hoc but it works

Fortunately I also use barnacle but it doesn't work with ps3

Wow. It's just a question, and honestly, I was wondering the same thing as him. You don't need to get butthurt over this.
