Best wifi tethering app for Droid 2? - Droid 2 Themes and Apps

I rooted my phone recently to use wifi tethering with my new transformer. Haven't had much luck finding a stable tethering app. One I tried was open garden but it isn't very stable. What's the best one?

I use Wireless Tether stable release
Just google search "wireless tether"
First result, go to the downloads tab

use bluetooth tether
just pair the droid 2 to your transformer and use the bluetooth tether option in the Asus transformer.
it's faster and uses sooo much less battery then than wifi tether and u dont need to root!!
i do it all the time works like a charm

Whoa really? Ill try it out sounds cool

I downloaded wireless tether and it does seem to work very well. Maybe its because I'm running it on CM7

I'm using Barnacle, free from the market. You can rename your network and secure it. It runs ad-hoc. I get 11mbps consistantly.

11mbps? What is your zipcode? You are on verizons 3G network?

10302 Staten Island, NYC. However I get the same speed all over NJ, where I work.
And yes, Verizon 3g.

How is that even possible? I am jealous, but still skeptical...

I'm not permitted to post the link, but I have been using Wifi Tether for Root Users v3.1beta2 and it seems to be working better than ever. Make sure you select DroidX as your device profile.

It's not, I just speedtested it, I feel stupid now for going over the mouseover link in the systray. Sorry for misleading. It's actually 1mbps and .56mpbs upload. Still, faster than my sprint 4g aircard that work has me using.

Ok great I can finally go to sleep!

Thanks, man! FINALLY got a wireless tether app to work on my D2 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried a bunch of others and none of them actually connected out to the internet.
Like derezzer says, select DroidX as your device profile. In addition, i also selected Change Setup-Method to Hostapd (master). So far, so good.

Pdanet works for wired tether. Wifi does not. If u are looking for a tether that works for, lets say, tablets or gaming systems, and not a computer, i haven't found one that works. If its just for a pc, use with tether for root users

If it is like the other roms you do not need another app. Just turn on the built in wifi tether. No need to touch apn's.

Did you download the latest version from here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Works fine for me. Tested the newest, (3.1 beta 2), this morning. (ignore the Access Control error).
Also, Barnacle is working fine too : http://szym.net/barnacle/
Also tested this morning, although I got faster speeds with WiFi Tether.

I have successfully tethered my non-rooted stock Nook Tablet to my HTC Amaze 4G with both WPA and no security
I had to enable ad-hoc wifi first as per instructions here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370955) before I could connect to my Nokia N8 using joikuspot.
It seems that other people have managed to use another software to create a non-adhoc wifi network, but I think it's good to apply the patch and keep your options open.

They are different for each phone so you have better luck hoping over to the forum for yours and asking over there or checking to see if they have it already set up. Like I said I have a lowend samsung galaxy Prevail here from boostmobile.
I have a rooted NT and am new to tethering (great option since my wife has a Blackberry Bold (Verizon) that her company pays for). Seems like Barnacle and WIfi Tether are the two most used. Any recommendations as to which would be better for a noob?

Sprint hotspot.

Is it possible to have the sprint hotspot with 4g. Cause right now certain devices can't connect to my wifi tether app. Help is much appreciated.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Nope. The hotspot hack only works with 3g. To use 4g you have to use a third party app.

Ohk thanks, I figured as much. No more 100+ GB a month.

Why is anyone concerned about tethering off the sprint 2g network anyways. Just saying anything you tether to will be pointless can't stream video media on sprint data is to slow.. Unless you just aim to use the Net..

Where do I check "unknown sources" and "USB debugger". I can't find them on this phone.
Tethering a tablet without data for gps in your car. Letting your psp/vita/ipod touch/laptop get connection. You decide. They are all viable reasons to tether 3g.

Go into your PHONES SETTINGS, on mine I go into SECURITY to check the "UNKNOWN SOURCES & then I go into the DEVELOPER OPTIONS to check the "DEBUGGING"

Not true cuz FoxFi works gr8 4 me & I watch videos on my laptop. The 3G on this fone is BETTER than the 3G on older phones because our 3G works like the 4G on the OG Evo

Tethering after the new update

Just curious what everyone who took the update is doing as far as tethering. WiFi tether doesn't seem to be cooperating. Maybe my settings are incorrect or something. And the hotspot hack from captains thread supposedly causes data connection problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can seem to get that to work. It keeps freezing up before it gets going.

Hi, I've been working on correcting Hotspot-Hack for a while, with little success. JB Wifi Tether is the only one that has worked consistently for me.

It seems like "wifi tether router" uses a lot more battery than "wifi tether for root users". Seems like the phone gets a lot hotter to. I hope they come up with some kind of update to get "WiFi tether for root users" working with this 4.13
