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.

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

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!

Sprint: 310120
Verizon: 3100000, 310012, 310014
At&t: 310410
T-Mobile: 310260

Haha, these codes are for the phones market signature - similar to the app MarketEnabler.
It allows you to spoof a network location and have access to apps you wouldn't normally have access too.
For example, if you set your code to Verizon (I always used 310012) you have a "Verizon" tab instead of 'Sprint'
You will also be able to download their NFL app, etc.

Hmm, the verizon nfl app should work if you still have it set as a verizon code. I know last time I had it on my phone it worked until I changed the code back to sprints. After that point, even if I switched it to Verizon it wouldn't let me use it.
Maybe they have a newer update for it that checks the actual phone number or something.

I am looking for a way to use the sprint hot spot on the leaked froyo build but it does not seem to be out yet.
Is there an app that works the same way as sprint hot spot. I don't want ad hoc because it does not support some devices. If anyone has anything that does not require "flashing" a custom rom to get this I need to know.
I found Moble AP but you need to flash it with clock work recovery and I would lose the froyo build.
Thanks in advance
No dice on AP and 2.2 on Epic. If AP is that important to you, go back to 2.1, else live with wireless tether and Ad-hoc.
If you search you will find what your looking for.
We have nothing got froyo yet but people are working on mobileap. We are still on a froyo leak so stuff like this is delayed cause official froyo may be different then are leaks
Sent From Da Hood.
I am guessing that means we have nothing for foryo yet and mobile ap is in the works but won't be out untill the offical release. I just hope I ca get it on the stock rom and I won't need to flash a custom rom to get it to work.

You don't need a custom rom to use Wireless Tether. You just need to root your phone. Takes about 5 minutes or less. Why would you want to use the sprint app? The WT app has much more capability.

...Not if your device does not support adhoc wifi networks. A lot of gadgets it seems don't like adhoc wifi, so Mobile AP would be an alternative.

Yes it is.
I can get my apple iPad and iPod touch to work off if wireless tether but not my ps3. Oh well I'm happy with that cause my ps3uses my home wifi.
I tried using the open garden wifi tethering app (rooted off course) but when i was using it, i got a notification saying hotspot was activated. So i clicked on it and it took me to sprint hotspot app saying "hotspot activated". This is the first time something like this happened (used Open Garden before) and got scared because i know i have to pay 49.99 or something like that to use the app, and stopped tethering. Should i be scare about this? Despite the fact that the app said i was using hotspot, i wasn't using their hotspot app and the thing to activated it on the app was unchecked.
I want to know because i am under my fathers plan and he said if i ever added an extra payment on the bill he'll take me off his plan.
Also sorry for posting a question on this board, people usually go in the general forums a lot more and reply to topics faster.

How does this even begin to address the OP's concern? You responded to a keyword that you recognized in the post, instead of comprehending the meaning of all of his words in the order in which they were presented.
He is worried that he will be charged for using the paid hotspot, and rooting his phone won't change it if he was being billed.
However, it sounds like that app has been updated, borrowing from the free wifi tethering app (open garden wifi is based off of the open source wifi tether, hosted on Google projects).
It is activating software that is already present in the stock firmware, but it cannot call Sprint and ask them to add an option to your plan. The paid hotspot (unhacked) will not work without that option on your plan, so if it is working then you either added the option, or you aren't being charged because it was activated via a hack.

Since it seems that open garden is always just a little behind the open source project on which it is based, I think it is a safe bet that the "developers" behind open garden haven't added anything other than gps tracking of its users. I say, just stick to wifi tether, since it is the original (and I don't trust an app that only adds location tracking when the purpose of the app has nothing to do with location)

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?

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.

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.
