Is there a way to tether the Amaze without buying the plan?
I wonder the same thing. There's been lots of discussion of USB tethering, and the hotspot, but I wonder whether it's possible to tether via Bluetooth Dial-Up-Networking? Does the Amaze support that particular Bluetooth profile?
If so, does tethering that way invoke the TMobile upsell screens, or does the browsing work without problems.
The easiest way to activate DUN would be to use PDAnet, and connect via bluetooth from a DUN-client device.
I can do this easily from my TMo N1, but I'm curious to know whether this is a way around the tethering problems people are having.

Is it possible to create an application similar to Verizon Hot Spot, then Archos can connected and work fine?
Its not an app issue that you can solve on your phone, its a hardware issue. Verizon hotspot app works in "Infrastructure mode" (ie Routers, real accesspoints) because the phone wifi hardware allows it. Most phones and laptops with wifi don't have that, and will only work in Peer to peer mode known as Ad-Hoc mode. Unfortunately the wifi scanner on Android was coded to ignore Ad-Hoc signals.
If you can't use Wireless Tether for Root Users, try tethering over Bluetooth by changing its options.
I have tried Barnacle and Rooter for LG Ally(SUperOneClick) from this forum. But as I uderstood right Adroid Archos 70 would not see it becuase didn't have capability to see Ad-hoc.
So I was thinking here a lot a very talant programmers, so if Verizon creat Hot Spot, that works as wifi rooter, so someone be able create similar to it for rooted users.
Thanks
Not true. If you have the hotspot app it will work. Depending on the phone you have you can download ROMs that have this app built in/hacked in that will work to tether.

Wireless Tether has been updated to work in infrastructure mode. I tether my Archos with my Droid X. Made this thing so much better for me.

Wireless Tether for root doesn't provide "infrastructure mode" on the Fascinate. Also, Bluetooth tether does not work on the Fascinate. (keep getting "unknown state")...
Obviously the phone is capable of infrastructure, because of the "hot spot" app, which does work with the Archos....
Gotta get the Wireless Tether for Root guys to fix it for the Fascinate.....
Wireless Tether supported hardware...

I just want some confirmation here (after reading every possible thread on it)
Is there a fix/solution or way around the tethering and wifi hotspot.
Before I go and upgrade my line for this phone I want to make sure that I can use Wifi Hotspot.
I am currently on the MT4G and can't live without hotspot.
I am not the only one who connects to my phone for internet.
I definitely need to know that it will work without me having to pay extra for tethering AND wifi hotspot.
Please let me know if you can personally confirm that you got both tethering AND wifi hotspot working.
Thanks a lot guys.

It works for most people but not all, a definite solution for everyone is being worked on

Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
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)?

Hi,
Just a question that I can't find an answer to anywhere, does anyone else experience the following.
When I enable tethering or wireless hotspot the other device/s that connect get internet access, but my phone has no internet access itself, so I don't get email and can't use internet reliant apps at the same time. As soon as I enable tethering/wireless hotspot the phone has no internet access.
The main reason I ask this and don't think it is meant to happen is because a friend of mine has a Galaxy SII and he can use the internet on his device whilst other devices are tethered.
Does anyone else experience this, does anyone know of a solution if it is not support to do this.
Cheers
Jon
It works on my device. What rom are you using?
If you're using CM10 or a kang of CM10 tethering doesn't work buddy....

I have heard of T-mobile charging extras for thetering but your situation seems different. Hopefully someone will help you otherwise try searching "T-mobile thetering" or such on your device's forum and try to make an idea of what's going on. good luck.
edited...i didn't read "UK" and directed you to the US T-mobile forum....
