Ive seen a few people post info about pdanet in other threads when people are talking about rooting but didnt see a thread completely dedicated to it. If there is one and i missed it sorry. Iam like many others and a littke upset bout there being no wifi tethering but just happen to run across info in another thread about pdanet. For those who dont know if you download pdanet from the market and follow the instructions you can tether through your usb cable just fine. I posted this bc i did not know this until today and it saved me from adding tethering to my plan. Just hoping i can return the favor

I tried it today and it requires the sprint tethering package. Best to stick with easytether until root hits.

im not sure but i think the easy tether is the same as pdanet. I just happen to see pdanet 1st. Only reason i would see payin sprint is if you absolutely must have wireless tethering

What about Bluetooth tethering, does that work also?
I didnt try the bluetooth but there was an option for it......my girlfriend recovered all her mp3s off our laptop today wirelessly im guessin thats what she used
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
wifi tether is nice i used it all the time. But untill we have root I would just use easytether, its free and it keeps you charged up while you are using it. I never seen the other one you are talking about so I cant say if easy is better. But like I said easy is free and its been out for a long time.
Im glad you didnt pay sprint for it
bmoreboy02 - I could be mistaken but that sounds more like Bluetooth file transfer using OBEX (whatever that means) than Bluetooth tethering aka Bluetooth DUN (Dial Up Networking).
The reason for my interest in PDAnet is that it includes a Bluetooth connection. I greatly prefer wireless connections (WiFi or Bluetooth) to wired connections (USB) even if wireless is slower. With a wired connection I'm always breaking connectors or cables, or losing the cable altogether. (Although I never owned a Palm Pre, I liked the idea of wireless charging to eliminate ALL cabling and connectors.) And the cost of PDAnet is minimal, not a factor for me.
Anyway I'd be glad to hear of any successes/failures with Bluetooth tethering on the EVO 3D, that's the one thing keeping me from ordering one now. (Yeah I suppose I could just buy one, try it out and return it if I don't like its capabilities...)
Yea im not 100% sure how she did it i also noticed the evo comes preloaded with a file transfer app so she mite of used that....also if its true pdanet refuses to help the devs on here ill probally delete it and get the easy tether. Either way just glad im not payin sprint lol.

Doesnt the 3vo have built in USB Tethering?
Yes it has built in USB and WIFI but both need the tether plan add-on to work
Guess I got lucky.. I have the sprint sero plan and the built-in wifi tethering works great. If only I had 4g coverage near my house..

it's an employee referral plan. i'm not sure how you would go about getting it, but i used to have an employee plan working for a 3rd party dealer and after i quit they converted me over to this plan. it's $40/mo + $10 for 4g, gives you 500 min with unlim txt/data/gps/tether etc.

Won't do it with Grandfathered Unlimited Data plans... anyway, by looking at data usage they can see if you are tethering or not no matter what app you use to do it. LOL.

Some people are getting Text Messages from T-Mobile stating that they have "some how" picked up that they are tethering via the Google Code, and the native applications and are asking for $15 fee for doing it. there is a thread floating around here somewhere on it.

even though the native Application has a WEP code input option. the Wi-FiTether.apk has a MAC address white listing option along with encryption options so it will only allow certain devices to connect to yours. which i really like. I've been driving down the highway doing 65mph and had people try to connect to my wi-fi that i am letting my wife use for her netbook.
MAC filtering will not allow them to get to the web....
thats my reason for wanting it.
I just use the one built into my phone, they don't charge me and it works great...
Does anyone have the APK of the one that came with the phone? I'm not on stock rom and would like to try the original one
Well in all regards it's a good thing I searched on this subject before I posted anything. In any case does this app let you limit your bandwidth when using it as a wi-fi hotspot? or is there any app that will let me limit my speeds when using the wi-fi?

It isn't possible to put the changed files in place, but i can't remember which dev (either leoisright or xhausx) said the edited tether is ready to be pushed to the system as soon as we do get root.
Another thing I've heard though is that usb tether works without having to pay (and without unlock/root). I heard that the pay service is just for the wireless tether. I haven't verified but let me know if that works for you.

I randomly found a USB tether app on the Market called "Klink" and it seems to cap your bandwidth to 1 MBit.. peaking at 2MBit at highest. If you need tethering now I'd suggest PDANet or EasyTether. I've not tested PDANet on the 3vo yet, but I'd bet it'd work fine. It's not worth my $15 though....

Try to connect and see what it says, if they are going to charge you they have to tell you first. You will get a message similar to : You have not signed up for this service, to add it to your account call or go online today.
If you don't get the message than Sprint might be offering free for a limited time to get you hooked on it. If we don't get root, they may have a lot of new tether customers.

Has anybody had any luck with a wired tether app? I had one on the epic and loved it better than wireless tether since it would help keep the phone charged. I had a backup of the apk that I used on the epic but it wouldn't work on the photon. I know of pdanet but would rather not use it since wired tether app worked great.

I personally use EasyTether on my phone. And i have my parents, in-laws and various family members using it too.
I think its $4.99 on Amazon's App Store right now. Its normally $9.99. It is available on the Android Market too.
I like EasyTether because you dont need root and they have a client (computer) program for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I use linux regularly and so i needed it to work with that.

Is there some sort of wi-fi emulator out there? Amazon app of the day won't let me download some of the apps, but 4G is twice as fast as my wi-fi connection at home.
Hello, and welcome to XDA
I would love to help answer your question, however your post is somewhat ambiguous.
If you could, please indicate in more detail what the particular problem is.
I am going to take a leap here and assume that your problem is that wireless tether sets up an ad-hoc network instead of a regular wifi network.
however if this is not the case, then please let me know. I will do the best I can to help you.
Hmm I was wondering the same thing. His problem isn't anything to do with teather. It's that Amazon will have free apps that say they require a WiFi connection on phone to download do to there size.
If your in an area where you can't connect to a WiFi network Amazon will not let you download. Even if your on 4g for some reason the server will only allow a WiFi connected phone to download which really sucks.
So he wants to be on his 4g connection but fool Amazon's server into thinking he is connected via WiFi

Yeah this is for the Amazon Market. Main problem is that Amazon only allows certain apps to be downloaded over wifi. It sucks and as of yet there is no workaround that I know of. I'm sure some form of proxying would work but that's just as much of a pain as doing any kind of workaround. Amazon just needs to remove this limitation as a whole. I mean really where's the benefit for them to have you use your wifi connection vs your mobile connection.

I just grabbed that using 4g, but I've had that wifi issue before.
EDIT: I guess I didn't get it with 4g. It looked like it had downloaded and said update but then I saw it was hung up and it started after I switched to wifi.
Quite silly at this point, they could just give you the large data download warning that I believe the Market gives you.
If they hear from enough people I would bet they would change it. They started a packing feedback after I returned a hdd 3 times and bought somewhere else due to poor packing. I'm sure they had many complaints.
