I just got my brand spanking new HTC Hero and started filling it up with apps and games, but i fail to find a wifi tether option..
I know i read it was suppose to be done, but i fail to realise exactly how to achieve this..
Do you guys have any input?
i was hoping to be able to use the phone as a 3g modem when im away from home but the included usb drivers are windows only (using mac)..
the tethering built in is only USB tethering. is there nothing in the market?
now that the hero can be rooted, i am sure something must be out there....
The people at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether have a tethering app, but unfortunately it doesn't work for the Hero yet: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=122
hello I'm new to all the rooting and installing custom roms I am about to buy an htc rezound but was wondering if the roms that are posted on the rezound Android Development page already come with the wifi hack or will I have to do something else to get the free wifi tether THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Most come with a wifi tether app, ones i know of are Nils Business Sense and Rezrom( I think Scott's Cleanrom also). It takes a couple extra steps to get working-
Change device profile to Galaxy Nexus LTE & checkmark routing fix. Enable & disable, allowing root both times.
EDIT:
Oh btw, we just got s-off, you're joining up just at the right time.
If the rom don't have the wifi app you can always get the apk file off the internet and install it that way

Verizon Rezound Issues
So have there been any issues with the wifi tethering on the Rezound with Verizon?
Issues such as redirects or threats of charges...
Thanks,

No. The wifi Tether app allows the User to bypass verizons tether charge. but if you are on a capped plan, it will still use your Data.

I've ran into an issue with it. I am on Rezrom Ex 3.4 ICS.
My issue is: With galaxy nexus LTE selected, wifi tether starts without errors, however my wifi interface starts to have issues. I installed the latest version of wifi tether, 3.1 beta 14 and using the generic ICS device profile it seems like it is going to work, however then it gives the message "Device has taken back control of wifi interface" or something to that effect. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd really like to know what to do. Dont really want to have to load a new rom just to get this working so I can tether my new nexus 7.
Anyway it seems there aren't many people having this problem (that i have found anyway) if I find a solution ill post with info.
Found thread with fixes. If your having this issue or any others try the steps here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707
I just wonder why the "mobile hotspot" application is included in ROMs still. Guess its just a reminder of what your gettting for free with the wifi tehter.

It usually isn't an apk that can be taken out. It's buried deep in the framework.

Did you get it to work on the N7? I'm on Viper but trying to do the same thing (wifi tether) but not having any luck
Hi guys, like.my subject says I have a sensation 4g that used to run android GB and I used to transfer stuff wirelessly from and to my PC via Bluetooth, now that I upgraded to ICS I tryied to connect it again and doesn't work I even try to reinstall it in the pc, re-pair and nothing it says that my phone doesn't support that service/feature. Wtf?
Ice is supposed.to.add crap not to remove. I love being able to do that without fisically connecting my phone to the pc.
Ok so does any one knows if they are going though the same.thing? I looked around in settings and the options are not there anymore.
Does anyone knows how to enable this? Is there even a way to enable it?
Can anyone help? Cause I don't wanna be installing apps in order to.achieve this: example: by file transfer apps.
Thanks in advanced

SO today i received my promotional HTC Media link device. but to connect you need to create a peer to peer connection over wifi. but to do this you must have att hotspot enabled. basically without rooting att is forcing you to need a hotspot plan that in essence you will not be using, for a promotional device that does not utilize tethering.
i find this redic and bizarre.
OTA Update
Please check for an OTA Update

Hi,
I got a silly problem with my HTC. i am using it in India currently and my Data package allows me to Tether. but since the HTC goes through AT&T it wont let me tether. I was wondering if there is a work around for this or if there is any good tethering app that doesnt need Root or any software installed on the PC.
Thank you
