Hi guys!! I've just tried this app and it works great!
It can share your Defy's internet connection to your pc!
It's a real tethering not a simply MODEM Tethering, you will NOT pay extra cost to your Carrier!
I read about it here on xda:
Moto Tethering USB
See ya!
The default build-in USB tethering is working fine. Why would one need another 3rd party app to run?

As you can see from App description:
** Moto Tethering USB uses exactly the same data plan that is used for the on-phone Internet access like in the built-in browser or e-mail app or youtube application. No additional tethering fees.
The built-in function acts like a modem that can be intercepted by your Carrier to make you pay additional costs for your current connection!
cu,
I'm not sure if anything you say is correct. But I'm on unlimited data plan which also comes with voice, MMS, SMS and etc.. I've been using the build-in USB tethering as well and Wifi hotspot for over a year and none have any extra charges from my carrier.
I do USB tethering with my Laptop and Desktop. Share my Wifi Hotspot with my friend's phones and all working as it is..
I don't see the need of this 3rd party apps unless your phone doesn't have the default USB tethering and 3G Wifi Hotspot build-in.

Every Mobile Carrier reacts in different ways to Mobile Tethering,
Here in Europe, many Carriers apply different costs for Mobile Browsing and Pc Browsing,

hi...i usually connect my lg optimus 2x to PC with USB and use computer's internet connection (reverse USB teethering). but i want to know if its possible to force telephone that it thinks that it is connected to wi-fi, while using 3g data connection. i want use that especially when games want to download data over the wifi...
If your device is rooted, you could get a wireless hotspot app from the market, start the hotspot on your phone, then connect to it (connect your device to itself ).
I don't think you can connect to your own hotspot.

tried but its not working..i think that androids dont support wifi multitasking like iphones do,so they cant receiving and teethering connection at the same time..

you can just grad a wifi hotspot phone and load your sim in. share the network to your device and enjoy...
it is quite annoying when it doesnt let me use my data for gameloft game data download too.

Actually you can. I've said that before to other people who wanted to download gameloft data and for some other purposes which require wifi, and it worked.
I want to do this too.... but the Mobile Hotspot app on my phone turns off WiFi if it is one, and if I turn on Wifi while Mobile Hotpsot is on, it disables the Hotspot.
Any other solution ? An app maybe ? A tweak ?
what wifi hotspot app was used?.. and to the OP, how did you reverse tether via usb?

On my desire you can have activated only wirelles or only hotspot, i think the same wirelles adapter is used for it, so it wouldnt be possible.

How? I've been searching for a workaround to this for some time now.
Please tell me how...
I have a rooted Bionic, Eclipse ICS 4.0.4. I use FoxFi Full version for my hotspot. I need my phone to connect to the mobile hotspot it's currently transmitting. (I think that's what I need)
Why? I want an advanced ability to monitor who is using my mobile hotspot, using DroidSheep to monitor what they're using the connection for. Trouble is, DroidSheep (And al similar programs) only work if the phone (with the app) is actually connected to the wifi network. It won't work if it's the one transmitting the signal.

You just have one wifi Modul it can be a hot spot or it can be connected to a Router.
Both together isn't possible.
Else you could also use it as wifi repeater

Dear guys,
I am wonder if you guys can help me about Internet sharing from XPS to laptop via usb cable. Can I use the tethering function in setting or else?
Best regards
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
i never relied on inbuilt tether function. i always used this
its pretty easy to setup & no rooting is required. till now i used with almost every kind of android version & with tablets also.
Easiest method I've found is to set up a wifi hotspot with the phone and use that.. No cable required!

In option enable hot spot, connect your laptop wirelessly to phone and that is that.

Doesn't that suck battery like hell on both devices?
You can use the wifi tether to share the connection. It is really easy to set up and no cable is required.The drawback is that it causes heavy battery drain. USB tether is also working fine. You will need cable to do it but this way you can even charge your battery while browsing. See what works better for you and use it.
My network prohibits tethering, but branded .62 has the feature inbuilt. So the question is, can they detect it?
You might want to consider the huawei e586 wifi hotspot. It can support 5 devices on wifi. Just add your 3g data sim card.
i have the concept of wifi hotspot (sharing the mobile data via WiFi), but it is different from tethering. The only way to get WiFi tether is to use apps that require root access?
Thanks!

i am on vodafone italy,
for the "normal" internet usage from the smartphone i use this APN: mobile.vodafone.it
for the tethering i should use this APN: web.vodafone.it
using the smartphone as hotspot wi-fi it not goes to "web.vodafone.it" but through "mobile.vodafone.it" only sharing the smartphone’s normal network
i notice this since with mobile.vodafone.it i pay 0,30€/100mb
with web.vodafone.it i pay 1€/500mb
yesterday i used my Xperia S as hotspot wi-fi and after the 100mb of usage i received an sms from vodafone telling me i used all my data.
Maybe this is only an italian thing or italian-vodafone-thing

but maybe my provider has some problems: yesterday i did usb tethering via "easy tether" and i payed NOTHING using the apn: mobile.vodafone.it ...it is possible that the provider didn’t recognize my tethering activity neither the network access?

No.
I do not have a tethering plan and I know about creating a new APN with the epc, but when I go into my Mobile Hotspot to do the tethering to my iPad, it says Error under the words Mobile Hotspot after I turn it on (I can still connect to the Internet on my phone with this error message)
My iPad can see my phones tethering connection under the WiFi connection choices and my phone shows me as being a connected User under users. I just cannot actually get on the Internet on my ipad with the Mobile Hotspot tether. I can get in the Internet still on my phone using the new APN.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another work around or way to tether FREE to my iPad using my phones Internet?
(I also tried a third party app called FoxFi and same thing happens where my iPad sees it as a connection access point but I cannot actually get on the Internet at all)
(Also what is Bluetooth Tethering?)
TIA
okay i require some information in order to help you.. first question, what carrier are you using? and what type of data plan do you have? is your phone rooted (i'm assuming your using the amaze since your in the amaze Q&A section..? and if you are running a custom rom what rom are you running? or if your stock which app are you using for this wireless tethering ?
ES File Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd
The app I use is mainly for File browsing, but I've noticed with the new version is has the ability to turn on Tethering and by-pass the carrier check (on AT&T at least).
No system file modification needed.
Simply go to:
Menu -> Tools -> Net Manager
Downloaded and confirmed it works. This definitely a big plus!

No system wasnt a net manager in my settings options..... so I uninstalled the ES file explorer I had and then installed this one. I was able to turn on the tethering, and my computer recognized it and it appeared to be running, but I was never able to connect to any webpages.

Chances are low. Extremely low. I've never been notified once on Android. Even if they detect you they are obligated to send you a written warning before they charge you for extra features. I know this from unauthorized tethering on my iPhone.

You're definitely confused, so I'll help.... The ATT Hotspot app is to connect your phone to the wireless hotspot ATT provides for free at various locations so you don't use your data plan
Wireless tethering is to connect another device (laptop, WiFi tablet, another phone, etc) to use your data plan on your phone wirelessly, turning your phone into a router, receiving data and broadcasting an SSID like your WiFi at home / work does
Make sense?

your explanation does make sense. But, i use the att mobile hotspot app to connect (tether) my laptop to send out emails on my work email because comcast has blocked port 25, whereas i can still send them out tethering from my phone to laptop.

So seems like you must paying for service. This app you using ( stock Mobile Hotspot) dose not work for free with At&t phones if you do not paying for service. I just try and asking me to call 611 for activating tethering.

hrmmm, i guess i need to figure that out... im new to att, just switched when getting this phone. all i know is i am on their mobile share plan with unlimited talk & text, then we pay for the 4g data plan. so maybe the fee is built into the 4gb share data plan.
edit: yea just did some reading and because i am on a mobile share plan there is no fee. i guess that solves y i was confused to begin with on why the op posted this option for free tethering when i can use the built-in for free to tether.
I read that tethering is disabled if you have Tmos $30, 100 min, 5 Gb plan. Can you still tether if you are rooted and using an app like WiFi Tether?
I am with Sprint and have an HTC EVO 4G (questionable) LTE. I am considering switching to TMo and getting the HTC One, and use a VOIP app for calls. I only tether very occasionally, maybe once a month, for my Nexis 7. Typically, I work in various office buildings, and more often than not, they have WiFi. I only browse and email, never stream, so my usage is pretty low.

You can tether with the 4g data plan with out any extra charges. The plan they block free tethering is when you're on the truly unlimited 4g plan with out caps.

I have the Unlocked Edition on the $30 prepaid plan and I've tried everything to get native tethering to work, web pages are just constantly redirected to Tmobiles website. When you log in theres an option to add tethering for 15/month. So in my experience no, there is no way to tether natively without root or paying another fee.
I was hoping, as I have the unlocked edition that isnt tied to any specific carrier (as in, stock rom with no carrier interference) that tethering would be unaffected but it seems they're blocking it server side. I even changed the UA of my browser on my computer to various mobile devices and other browsers and it still wouldnt work.

Yup, AOSP native tethering works fine. I've USB tethered my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile's $30 plan several times with no issue, using the baked-in USB tethering option on CyanogenMod.

Get a browser-agent changer plugin for whatever browser you're using. And set it to some mobile browser.
What this basically does is, when the browser sends HTTP requests, it identifies itself as a mobile browser and so T-Mobile doesnt redirect the traffic to their advertisement.
Worked for me when I used to be on T-Mobile (bout a year ago)

I was wondering the same thing, other then maybe because I was using the stock ROM's built in tethering option, but again since I have the carrier-less unlocked edition I wasnt sure how that could be the problem either. At some point I'm going to try the non-root clockworkmod tether in the market and see if that works.
