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

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.

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

I rooted my Droid X and got the wireless tether app to work. My only question is if I use my phone to tether will any extra data charges show up on my account? I have the unlimited data package, but I don't have tethering on my account.

you will not be charged using the Wireless Tether app. Assuming you're refering to this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
That's the one. Thank you very much.

Ya it works great as long as only one device is connected. However with mine other android phones can't see my wifi as an option, but laptops work fine.

Thats because it is a Ad-Hoc type of wifi. There is still a known problem with windows 7 and ad-hoc networks though (you have to re-establish the connection every time you want to use it on the pc). If you are running xp/vista, you should have no problem reconnecting every time.
There ARE hacked versions of the Motorola Hotspot app that will allow true, non ad-hoc, Hotspot functionality, while still not having to pay for the package. I am using it on my X with Fission 2.1 ROM. TeamBlackHat released it.. search and enjoy.

Do note that VzW can still see your data usage (how much used) and data rate (I THINK they can see this), so they'll have a good idea that you're tethering when you're not supposed to (contract violation, essentially) if you do this too much.
If you're sneaking around VzW to use tethering without paying, then do it sparingly when needed, not excessively... unless you want your contract terminated and other penalties assessed. This isn't the same thing as voiding a warranty, after all. You're essentially pirating bandwidth from them by doing this. Not that I have much of an issue with that, just warning you so you know that they do take this seriously.
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..)

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

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.
I use verizon droid x, have a stock rom, and want to use my device as a router for my notebook. Verizon haas a solution but they charge for it. I can't find an app on the android market for this. Anybody know of an app that can connect free?

Wireless Tether for Root Users
You are going to need to root to use the wireless tether. Or if you don't want to root you can use pdanet or easytether but they are not wireless. You have to plug your phone in with usb to the computer and use their computer programs to connect. If you choose to root so you can use wireless tether check out z4root.

Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.
Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.
Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????
His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...
You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me

Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.

Wired tether 1.4 works for me, except on linux - even though it appears that stock attempts to use rndis (dmesg on my linux box shows that it momentarily recognizes a rndis device), it doesn't work the same way that Rodderik's rndis support worked in his EC05 kernel... windows auto-detects it just fine, though

Hotspot hack isn't as nice
I like keeping track of how much data I use while tethering. Wired and wireless tether lets me do that. Playing MW2 and BF3 over 3G is data intensive, so I like to keep an eye on it. Plus, those are things the Sprint knows wouldn't be coming from the phone normally, so limiting their data use would be a good idea.

No can do. The PC doesn't have wireless. Plus it's nice to charge the phone and only use one radio at a time instead of the big drainer of EVDO and Wifi going full bore.
