The 2.3.3 update provides the following that are fully functional:
USB Tethering - allows you to attach a single device via USB to allow it to access the Internet through your X10's WiFi or 3G data connection
Portable WiFi Hotspot - allows other WiFi-enabled devices to attach to your X10 via WiFi to allow them to access the Internet through your X10's 3G data connection
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot to get to and set up those features.
For USB tethering, you'll need either a WiFi or 3G data connection available. For the portable WiFi hotspot, you need a 3G data connection available and the WiFi hardware must be on as well (since your X10 will become a WiFi router).
They work quite well, and they easily replace what we used to need 3rd-party apps for in the past.

WIFI tethering / Hotspot comes with limited acesses?

I have been trying to connect my SGS2 internet to the PC using wirless hotspot, but all the time it shows limited accesses on my PC and no way i can connect to internet? If anyone know the solution, Please let me know?
I am on stock ROM rooted with CF root!
I have a similar problem with limited access. Usually I manually switch (I have a wifi on/off switch) my laptops wifi off and on again and it usually fixes the problem.
The wifi hotspot does give me problems when trying to connect to all versions of Windows and Linux. Am hoping to find a solution by searching through these forums.

[Q] phone not connecting to laptops hotspot

hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.

[Q] wifi tethering via usb

i hope i can explain myself good enough please let me know if you have any questions..
my android phone (galaxy s3 i9300) is connected to my router's wifi, just like anybody else if they have a router that supports wifi.. all other smartphones i have are connected to it.
now i have a computer but i can't run a cable to it from the router.
i just want to know if there's any way i share the wifi connection i'm connected to on my phone to the computer using USB cable
it's just like using regular tethering but instead of using the mobile's network to tether a wifi connection, i want to use the wifi connection to tether my pc?
i have a rooted device, all ready to go, is there an app or something i need to install on my pc..anything please help
