Hey all...sorry but Im in a time crunch here so I cant search properly. My mom is on the last day of her 30 day trial with ATT and is looking at switching to the X10...my question is once the X10 is rooted does it unlock wired and wireless tether? Thank for any replies!
Yes it does. Just download barnacle wifi tether

Are you experiencing any issues?
Yesterday around 3pm I used my phone as a modem for my laptop and it worked fine no issues. But later on at night around 9pm when I tried using the internet it would keep redirecting me to the T-Mobile Tethering Plan page stating I had to now pay for that service.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is there a way around this issue?
Btw I am rooted and using Bionix 1.3.1
Might be the Rom you are using! I am using Axura 2.3.1.3 Voodoo Rom and have no issues. Try using a different Rom! Had that same issue when using stock froyo Rom!

Just tested on trigger in houston, tx and am not being redirected so far Lol.
when did you sign your contact with t mobile?
Ive never had that happen and ive been tethering forever, granted i dont go overboard with it and use it sparingly. How much do you tether? if its alot that may be the cause.
No problem here either.
Thanks guys for your inputs.
I use every other day so yea its often I use it but not for long periods of times..
I'll post up a link to a pic of my laptop screen so you guys can see what it saids.
My freinds wife got that same message using easytether on her mytouch slide. It looks like our ride is over on tethering, it was just a matter of time.

I got the message like 3 times but I could still use my mobile AP with no issues... think that was on simply galaxy 1.0 se.
I use it. Oh yea, I use it hard. I have not had any issue and hope I never do

I am rooted and using Cyanogen 7. Either yesterday or today I lost the ability to tether wirelessly to my ipad. I've tried Wifi Tether, Barnacle, and the wireless tether app that comes with CM7. I can find and connect on my ipad but it isn't actually working. Any ideas?

Just out of curiosity are you on 3g or 4g?

Same here. Looks like VZW finally blocked us. Frickin ridiculous...telling me what to do with my unlimited data plan!! Internets out at home too. :-(
Same here...
Ok, after messing with it for about an hour I got it working. I had wifi connected, then hit the tether button for the 99th time and it worked. So I tried USB tethering and that worked too...for 5 minutes.
It's working again finally after going back and forth between wifi and usb, but it's not very fast. Who knows at this point...
I got it to work by flashing to another ROM. Tethering worked without an issue. I tried to flashback to CM7 but it seemed like my backup was corrupted, it wouldn't install. Im not sure if the update has caused these problems. I know just enough about ROMS and developement stuff to get me into trouble.
Before you flash a stock Rom there is an app called tetherguard.apk make sure that app is no where to be found before flashing the Rom then any WiFi tether program will work.

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me out. I am currently rooted on 2.3.4 and am trying to wireless tether using Open Garden on my droid X2. It has no problem starting up and running, my iTouch even finds the signal and connects (this is indicated by the wireless symbol on my iTouch). However, OG does not recognize any clients connected. Also, my iTouch cannot do anything internet related even though it is connected to a wifi network.
edit: I also failed to say I have Verizon, not sure if that matters.
Any ideas? I've been doing some research and haven't found anything too helpful
Thanks!

It is my understanding that once rooted you can just use the WiFi Tether:

I here that the Beta is working on the DX2 and works great.
Im using barnacle and works very well...I connect my galaxy tab and my hp touchpad both running CM7

+1 to barnacle! I use it for my laptop! Works awesome!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
i will give that one a try! thanks!
you are able to run CM7 on the DROID X2? Which one are you using? Last time I checked the X2 wasn't on their website.
Also, would you mind telling me what settings you are using for Barnacle? The same issue I had with OG is what is going on with Barnacle. itouch says connected, Barnacle says no clients connected. Maybe there is something wrong in the settings...
would you mind also telling me what settings you are using for Barnacle? I am wondering if maybe I just don't have it set up correctly.
It helps to know that it works for some people! I have hope I can troubleshoot it now =)
I have the CM7 on my galaxy tab and hp touchpad. I didn't do anything special on the barnacle...just downloaded and off I went. The only thing I did not do was secure it. Didn't feel like messing with another security key that I would forget. Couldn't get barnacle to connect my laptop...but I got easy tether for that.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
oh gotcha. so you are running the default setting with no security right? hrmm. wonder why mine won't recognize clients. I will try to do an unsecured setting again. I think I tried it but I may be mistaken.
Thanks! and thanks for the quick reply =)
Yep default settings. I just looked and I've got skip wpa supplicant checked and also auto associate checked as well
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
oh awesome. thanks again. really appreciate the input.
getting my phone to successfully tether has been quite the task. for your vista laptop you use easy tether right? Is that a wired tether or wireless?
Its wired....and I have to say works extremely well...I videochat with my gf on msn and video quality doesn't seem compromised at all
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I will have to try that for my laptop. I'm glad I found out that Barnacle does not work with vista comps, it will save my husband a lot of frustration trying to get it to work.
did you get easy tether from the market?
Yes I did...9.99 I believe...very simple to use also
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
ah. gotcha. found it in the market. has decent reviews too
I normally don't report on apps, but this one I have to because it is awesome.
In addition to my new Photon I also have a Sony S tablet and been looking at WiFi tethering, but disappointed at the cost from Sprint.
In doing my research I found this app that allows free WiFi Tethering.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
I immediately downloaded the app and it works easily and perfectly.
"This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Gonna give this a try, thanks
edit: this item is not available on your carrier :\

this app rocks!!
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I'm using it right now! My tablets were fine using bluetooth connection but when on the road having to use the usb tether (easytether) for my laptop was such a nuisance.
I tried a another workaround discussed on youtube and it worked for the initial connection but would not connect again, registration blocked. I've had foxfi going for about two hours now, turned it off and on six times and its perfect!
Thanks again!!
Is anyone getting this to work with 4g? Whenever I turn on Foxfi, 4g disconnects and switches over to 3g.

No problem. I love things that save a few bucks.
The only downside is that your phone is gonna drain it's battery a lot faster than normal.

Hey guys! Today I knew about the existence of rooting your cellphone. (I rooted mine just now)
Now I've tried some of the things you could do with a rooted phone and now I'm just curious... Can
you really surf the internet for free using WiFi Tethering? Can someone teach me how to do it?
Is there an app that you need? By the way I am using Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300.
Thanks!
