Is the tethering hack required on 2.3.4? Or can I just plug the phone in the lapdock and be okay?
I haven't had any luck trying tether without a plan...
You will need a tethering hack APN, or Barnacle, etc., to use tethering without a tethering plan on any firmware, past, present, or future, until your provider decides to make it free, (which will never happen).

To get it working on the lapdock you can either use the apn hack or you can download and use the app proxoid as described here:

Is this still not possible?

I got wifi tether to work by installing JAC's kernel and then getting the latest build of wifi tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I hope that helps some what.
I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre7 on a completely stock Vibrant with root and it works perfectly. I have yet to find a working version of USB or wired tether. Just use the link that was provided by the poster above or Google "Wireless tether for root users". If you find a working USB tether, please post: -)

Wireless tether 2.0.5 will run just fine on your Vibrant with the stock kernel a stock Vibrant long as its rooted. Just fyi.
All of those mentioned methods use ad-hoc and not infrastructure mode as requested by the op. I don't know of any tethering apps that will setup an infrastructure hotspot now, but I believe that the built in tethering in froyo is infrastructure, but not sure. (I'm sure tmobile will have that stripped out anyway, but maybe if cm6 ever gets to this device it will be possible)
FYI, I'm using Wireless Tether For Root Users without any modifications except rooting, using version 2.0.5-pre7 and it's working great. Way faster than barnacle.

PdaNet and EasyTether both work over USB. Unfortunately, both apps filter https unless you get the paid version. PdaNet does have a fully functional 2 week trial, though.
Sorry, I have nothing for the OP...
I thought so. I guess we will have to wait for either the dev that's over android wifi tether to implement it, cm 6.0, or for froyo.
And oh yes, froyos hotspot is infrastructure, and that is the main thing I miss about my nexus.

Get linux on your pc lol. Usb works fine on linux with no extra software. (Ubuntu) just turn on debug mode on your phone and plug in.

What about samsung Kies? that works as a usb modem for me. The link is floating around the vibrant forum somewhere.
I have yet to get witless tethering working using any if the software update all the way up to pre 8. Barnacle, on the other hand works just fine for me, and has a humorous icon too!

Infrastructure Mode
Lookup [MOD] MobileAP in Vibrant Android Development to enable infrastructure.
I second checking out the MobileAp mod. I can't post the url due to being new. This is working perfect for me. Much much faster then every other tethering I tried. The applications I was trying to access before that I could not get to work are working flawless now with the exception of my VPN Client.

I know this is a dumb question, but can someone please tell me how I achieve tethering. I know it is set up to work on this rom but I don't know how to make it actually happen!
Thanks so much
Edit: I have the 'free tether' option selected in wireless settings
You could just download the "Wireless Tether" from Google Code. It works perfectly even on the Atrix as long as you're rooted. Should work on all the GingerBlur/Adeo mods too.
Which version do you use?
Also, does this need to use wifi, I'm trying to tether with just data connex

think about this for a minute. if you have wifi, why would you need tether?
of course tethering works on data only, it uses your wifi ON THE PHONE to create its own wifi network
you dont have to download any app, just open Settings, Wireless and Networks, MOBILE HOTSPOT, and turn it on.....
well thanks pirateghost...for the somewhat sarcastic reply. lol .
yes, sure that does make sense, duh! ...i guess it hadn't occured to me bc i assumed tethering was done thru a usb cable as i had done on WM before. something was wrong with my settings to make the wifi hotspot connect. i had to open the apn and save it (without making changes to it). this allowed it to connect and now have it working thru the hotspot.

Haha nice catch I didnt notice that. Let me power up my delorean and get 6.5 for all us. I think that is the last version before Motorola unlocked the bootloader. Wireless tether is what is recommended since there are many guides for it and works with all operating systems whereas usb would not. You could try pdanet which I paid for but not on my current device. That supports both however $30 might be more than you are willing to pay for usb support
Does anyone have a working hack, tweak, mod, or app for the Galaxy S2 without paying for the tethering feature from the carrier. Something that does not require root will be preferred but rooting is an option i'll take if necessary

PDANet
Not sure if it works on GSII or not.....
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether from Market... but you need Root for this...
Sent from my GT-I9100, using Oxygen (2.3.7 Gingerbread)
PDA Net does work on the SGSII without root, I'm using it right now.
is PDAnet fairly quick? I used it awhile back on an iphone 3gs but mywi was always quicker so I stopped using pdanet
I did the same thing on my iPhone 4. However, I was told PDANET is more secure than MyWi. Supposedly it's easier for AT&T to track that you are tethering without a policy when using MyWi. Of course that doesn't matter anymore now that we are on Android devices.
PDANet is pretty decent. I just did a speed test through my browser and it got 7mbps.
Edit, just did a speed test on the phone. Also got 7mbps, so PDANet is full speed from the phone to the PC.
Is there a Rom I can install which will have me do FREE tethering
without Att finding out
or another easy way Free Tethering
Please
Hello folks,
I have a rooted Atrix 4G 2.3.6/4.5.141. Recently installed Nebtop 1.3 to get Webtop to work on my LCD TV. I got everything to work but freaked out when a message regarding tethering popped up (I do not have the dock nor tethering plan). My Wifi was turned off and I obviously could not connect to the internet since I do not have a tethering plan.
A couple of questions. I read something a while back about ATT forcing a tethering plan if they see that you placed the phone into the dock without subscribing to a tethering plan. Is this true? Is there any way they will force some kind of a tethering fee now that I hooked it up to the LCD TV?
-If I turn on Wifi, will I be able to browse the internet? If not, what will I need to enable this?
-Assuming I don't have Wifi, I will need a hack to enable tethering. Which method do you folks recommend?
Many thanks for all of the help and I apologize for any stupidity in advance .
Use WiFi and you won't need to worry about tethering. If you tether without a tethering plan there is always a chance they will catch you.
How will they find out that I'm tethering though if it was disabled right off the bat? Are you referring to hacking/excess data usage?
Is it true that if I use the built in Android browser and not Firefox, i will still be able to access the internet (without relying on Wifi)?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to gain some general knowledge about the current state of tethering on android in general but more specifically for my situation on a unlimited data plan on Verizon on a Samsung S4 i545. I'm currently at Android 5.0.1 on OF1.
From what I have gathered so far there are two basic ways of doing wifi tethering these days.
1) Mod the built in tethering application so not to check with Verizon for the tethering plan.
2) Install an app that uses it's own or iptables type of network routing to do the tethering.
3) tethering apps that don't need root (ie FoxFi)
First off if there are more options that I'm not aware of please let me know.
I would like to "fly under the radar" as much as possible being that I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan. This leads me to believe that using a app that does routing would be a better option. I have tried many of the free apps in the app store and most do not work with my setup.
I believe the following apps are apps that actually do routing.
"WiFi Tether Router", "WiFi Tethering by OpenGarden", "Barnacle WiFi Tether", "WiFi tether" (also known as Wireless tether for Root Users or android-wifi-tether)
I have root but I can't get any of these to work. (with the exception of WiFi Tether Router as I haven't actually tried that app because it's a pay app)
Other options are installing mods that modify the built in app tether app like
I545_OF1_tetherAddOn.zip
And last the option of running an app like FoxFi that doesn't require root. and looks like it is using some kind of VPN to get around tethering? not sure how this works or where it stands but I think it's also using the built in tethering app and just somehow bypassing the Verizon server that checks for a tethering subscription.
if anyone could help shed some light on how these apps are working I could then decide at what level of exposure I was comfortable with. As of right now and my limited knowledge of how they work I think an app like WiFi Tether Router (if it works would be worth the purchase)
Thanks,
Chris

You should look for the WiFi Tether Router paid app apk online, i have the same problem with WiFi Tether, and also flashed the I545_OF1_tetherAddOn.zip and still no result, so I'm going to look for the app's downloadable apk link and share it with you, I'm also going to try it ☺☺

I'm wondering what can help us with WiFi Tethering too, so I tried a lot of apps and methods and nothing worked, the only tethering I was able to get was USB with FoxFi, tbh works really nice, even better than my home internet, I'm foreign so I cannot enjoy 4g on this phone but still got a pretty much decent speed, it's not WiFi tether but it doesn't bother me because works really nice. Still will try to find any other alternative to get WiFi tether but for now FoxFi USB tether seems to be our best option
thanks for getting back to me on this.
Again I'm not just looking for a solution to my specific situation but rather trying to gather information on how the different methods and approaches work. I feel as if I only have a slight understanding of how each approach works. I'm pretty curious to what all the VPN stuff is about that some of the non root apps are doing.
WiFi tether router by Fabio works also for USB tethering KLINK works with option "mimic mobile device" set to on both paid for apps.
A little feedback about Foxfi:
I didn't wanted to connect my galaxy to the pc so I decided to try WiFi tethering and it worked! just follow the instructions it gives you and it will work, if you wanna change WiFi name or password do it from Foxfi, default tether manager just turn off tether and doesn't change anything
Thanks mahn
