My dad's getting his droid razr in a couple of weeks off of amazon. He really wants to be able to tether his phone to his laptop for internet and whatnot. So I saw that there was an app on the amazon appstore called Easytether, which lets you tether without getting nailed by the verizon tether fee. Can anyone confirm that a droid razr can use this app without additional charges? Thanks.
Have not tried easy tether but I have rooted and used wifi tether.
Yeah, I do the same thing on DINC 2. However, he doesn't want to risk rooting. Thats why I wanted to use easytether since you dont need root.
Could also try pdanet. I've used both Easytether and pdanet with an Incredable2. I rooted the phone and now use either androidtether or barnacle which are wireless tethering. Seems that the wireless tethering gives me faster connections on my phone.

x2 for the OP's question. Any success from those that haven't rooted? I need to know for my father-in-law's phone, and he definitely won't want me rooting it.
Although not a direct answer to the OP's question, I do know that you can use Bluetooth to tether your Razr to a laptop or iPad without rooting and without incurring extra Verizon charges. I have done so with my Razr.

You know what, there is a free version of Easytether that you can view non secure sites. It is there to make sure the app works on your phone. I gots my Razr and my laptop right here. And I am not rooted. Why don't I just download the thing and see if it works. I am curious as well. Hang on ....

Well, hot dog!! It works. I am now sending this from my laptop plugged into my Razr, using Easytether Lite. My WiFi is definitely turned off on my laptop and the Razr is on 3g network. Razr is not rooted. (I've never rooted my phones.)

I'll have to wait till I get home to try using it with the 4g network. I work in a hospital and it's like a concrete bunker down here so no 4g signal where I am right now.
[A] EasyTether Pro works on un-rooted Droid Razr
See for yourself. I just upgraded to EasyTether Pro. $10 is a great deal, especially since I'm grandfathered in with unlimited 4g data on my Razr. This is good since I was having problems getting a decent connection on WiFi in the cafeteria.
And yes there is a significant difference in speeds between 3g and 4g. According to speedtest.net I got about 2 Mbps download on 3g and 7 - 9 Mbps download on 4g. The only problem I can see is that the USB charge is insufficient to actually charge the phone while tethering it. It slows the battery drain but cannot counter it completely.
You dont get charged for usb tether. I use easytether all the time. You do get charged for wifi tether tho. You can use easytether with any phone not just the razr. There is also another app called pdanet. I havent tried that one tho.

Just saw this a few minutes ago.. thought I would share it since I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.
Update: I just tested with my laptop and it is indeed working.
this is the first version that has worked for me at least. besides Barnacle.
Update 2: [BUG] It starts fine and functions for me. But when Disabled and then re-enabled the program says unknown state.
After rebooting it works again.. so if you turn it off you have to reboot to use it again. minor inconvenience , but better than no tethering at all.
Update 3: New version is out and available here
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre5.apk Good eye dabezt1
This fixes the unknown state issue. I had to reboot after installing to get normal operation from it.
I noticed on code.google.com that this version has been deprecated but it seems to be working fine on the vibrant.
Update 4 From Zephik
Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8-TEST1 *** HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL ***
New version of Wireless Tether available: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Update 5
From the following link you will find all available versions. Check them periodically
for updated apk's
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount
Again, Thanks for the heads up Zephik
Mine seems to get stuck at the Start Tethering: Please wait while starting.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got errors initially (that should get fixed in later versions) but restarted it and I can see the WiFi broadcasting!
Love Android WiFi tether! I will be donating again shortly.
Worked for me on Edge to my iPad. I will test the 3G tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Edit: I had the unknown state thing too. A restarted fixed it up.
mine works tested with my friends Iphone 4, i was running on Edge, however when i stop it i still have the Tether Icon in the Icon bar..and it says that its still running any ideas? im going to power cycle and post the results
This works so much better than Barnacle for some reason, just going on speed alone.
Well I am sure the bugs will get worked out. But we have something viable for now.
Also not a fan of barnacle..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Worked great on edge. Faster than barnacle. I also got the error after closing it and had to restart to use again. Will try out with 3G later today, but seems awesome so far.
Works great so far. Pulled +3mbps on 3g on a speed test via a tethered ipad. It does result in the "unknown state" error on disconnect however... but all that matters is that it works!

Works great. Seems faster than Barnacle.
The app does get messed up upon shutting down and says unknown state. Reboot seems to be the only way to fix it. I was able to get it to work once by ending the task and retrying. I was only able to do that once though. WiFi adapter gets stuck.
We're so close!!

I deleted the one I did while tethered with WiFi Tether, but here is one result directly from the phone in the same place.
i've come up with a fix for the roaming issue on CM7 and CM9 for Electrify users. download the file attachment below. extract the file from the zip and then replace it with the current one in the /system/lib directory. then reboot. you can select between automatic and home only now! no need to restore the stock rom to fix it. this replacement file fixes it completely
there is no force roaming with this fix.
may have to test this out on sprint, see if it will allow us to connect as normal.. if it does i see no reason why not to include it as official so that electrify owners dont have to bother with extra flashes
That's very kind of you!

@shabbypenguin Let me know how this works out for you! I'm very curious if it will work on the Photon.
@roundeye1987 you only need to do it once! then you're good to go! although if you change to a new update of either rom you will need to replace the file again.
well im pleased to say that it works fine enough for what i can test for...
unfortunatly no matter what setting i change etc etc i cant get 3g in cm9 so idk if that works with it... but i know 1x and voice/sms works fine
however there may be a time that the bootloader/4g issue gets fixed, and if so then we are gunna be working non stop to get 4g working in cm. if we can pull that off then it may come to ifnd out that this ril (gunna guess is from the electrify) may not work with 4g. if thats the case then it will have to be a seperate downloadable flash again. but for now ill swap it out in my hatif i compile anything electrify owners with have this fix baked in
Excellent.. Thanks very much.

there could be a problem with 3g for photon users. glad to see it at least works for you! i do get 1x and 3g along with everything else being fully functional in terms of the radio. thanks for testing it!
Stock doesnt show 1x it pretends its 3g. To know what you really have on stock you have to look on the about phone then status. Some people are just noticing they have been on 1x and not 3g. I think it was a crappy move by sprint to lie this way.

the prl does matter. i'm assuming it's your location and the location of the roaming cell site that's making you have a 1X signal.
check out jokers results with this running on the photon.

Would it be possible to get this working on the Electrify? I am using it right now to allow roaming but I can not get it to force roaming when set to automatic. Automatic actually works as automatic and stays non roaming until I leave US Cellular towers. If there was a simple way to force roaming I would be sooo happy.
Thanks!
Im a little confused because I can go between Home and Automatic just fine on CM9 already

This feature is/has been implemented in CM9 Alpha Builds since Alpha 11. So using "adding" this to CM9(assuming your on a relatively new verison..) is a waste of time. And i think that Sprint will limit you to 1x roaming by default PRL, youll need to flash a business PRL to get 3g roaming in certain areas. For me in North Florida atleast I was unable to roam with 3g until I flashed a business PRL that allowed it.
Nope I get roaming 3g

Alright I have a att branded note, but it is on tmobile. I traded for my sg2 about 4 months ago and all was well then got 4g and for the most part never freezes or hangs up or reboots, I do have a hard time getting 3g it either goes 4g or edge in my area. Now this is my dilimea since moving back to college (In the danm woods) I get horrible service if any, most of the time roaming always on edge and 2 bars or less. But what I am missing most now is wifi calling!
My questions is how can I go about just adding it to this phone, I think it has been rooted(Don't really know how to tell) It does have CWM gui installed on it
Could I do what is mentioned in this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674592
If not is thier a stable rom out there that still has amazing battery life, and sip calling?
Honestly just looking for a bit of help do not know where to really start

Your link is from the international Note forum. Don't know if you can do this to the i717 Note. How about using google voice and either talkatone or groove IP with your google voice number? That lets you do wifi calling using a google voice number. All free. You just have to set it up. Only thing is you have 2 numbers. Your carrier number and your google voice number. Unless you port your cell number to google voice ($20). Only thing is mms still does not work over google voice, but talkatone have a work around. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply I did do google voice for a bit but found it to be a bit slow on the push from calls and text messages and to have 2 numbers gets a bit confusing at times and I missed some calls I shouldn't ect....Just thought there might be a way just to bring back this feature.

If you go into the tmobile note forum, look at tomin's thread. Think it's called Goodies. He has instructions on how to flash the tmobile rom to your ATT note. It is a little complicated, but I was able to do it.
Pay attention to the root part. I lost root flashing the tmobile modem. It was a stock flash with no root. Had to re-root. Wasn't that hard, just annoying.
Check that out. I had the tmobile rom running on the blaze modem and it worked fine. The tmobile modem made my phone run hot. Worth a try. Good luck.
Was able to reflash custom roms without problems. Just read alot and understand what it is you are doing.
I think mine is already rooted are you saying to root it again?

Yeah- that's the thread. When I did it a couple months ago, I flashed the tmo stock rom, but it wasn't rooted cause it was stock. I still had my custom recovery I think? So I rooted the stock rom and was able to restore via Tit. BU. Don't remember what steps I took- it was awhile ago. But I followed all the steps outlined. The tmo modem ran hot, so I switched back to blaze and that combination worked fine. If you are not sure, read all you can. On that thread, and on the t-mo threads within the att note sections. Just search the threads. Good luck!
Is there any rom I can just flash to alleviate most of this? Just looking for it to do the wifi calling or SIP i think its called. And still be able to use my att branded phone on tmobile...Anyone have any ideas?

No rom will fix the basic issue of hardware incompatability -- all the suggestions just get you a less than optimal, but working, phone experience.
Well anyone have something more useful or experience? While I appreciate the comment above I have read other got it working just want to know how...

What adapter did you use? What do you mean that the cable doesn't have anything on it, other than the MHL? Is it a powered adapter? I don't believe that you can run MHL to HDMI without an adapter and most people say it needs to be powered (though in my experience the PNY adapter works without power). Thanks a lot for your help.
This cable plugs into my phone, then has the hdmi insert at the other end. On the side it has the option to plug a charger to it. I never have. It works just fine. I tried googling the cable. Nothing comes up. So I don't know who its made by.
I just looked at the pny adapter. It looks the same. Only mine doesn't have pny on it. Just mhl

mine works as good when accessing it directly with gogle apps. add 3rd party apps to the mix that need the gps locstion for search rather than locating me on the map and you start having intermittent issues.
fandango, alfred, beautiful widget weather, golauncher weather display. it is intermittent too.
never had such issue with htc devices such as mt4g, mt4g slide, amaze,....
i also believe is in samsung code because these apps are suppose to be able to pull off mobile and wireless networks and my cousin had similar gps irregularities on a few flavors of the original S and s2.

Not sure what's wrong with your gps on your s3. My s3 locked and pulled this within seconds
I hope my htc one is as good as my s3 with gps

I have a tablet in dash as my radio, navigation and all so my smartphone choice is 90% based on tethering ability.
is there anybody tethering yet?
i need to move from my GS3 (great experience btw for my first samsung phone but i really hate the GPS performance. Apps simply cannot get location half the time)
if you have tethering, pleae, what app did you use? what was required?

I'm using the stock app, but I'm on T-Mobile stock ROM.
WiFi tethering worked great on the Stock ROM from T-Mobile. I recently upgraded to ARHD 8.0 and have not tried it yet, but I imagine it should work the same. I have the 2.5GB high-speed data cap though -- I hear the Stock WiFi tether does not play nice if you have unlimited High Speed data.
