Hi,
Is there a way to turn on the wireless tether without paying the $30 a month? If so do I have to root my phone? and will this void my warranty?
Thanks
Oh, I'm all set. Thanks!
What did u do?

Root your phone and use this app on Google play called "WiFi Tether for Root".

Get foxfi and buy the key for it. If you don't want to root it.

I rooted my phone recently to use wifi tethering with my new transformer. Haven't had much luck finding a stable tethering app. One I tried was open garden but it isn't very stable. What's the best one?

I use Wireless Tether stable release
Just google search "wireless tether"
First result, go to the downloads tab
use bluetooth tether
just pair the droid 2 to your transformer and use the bluetooth tether option in the Asus transformer.
it's faster and uses sooo much less battery then than wifi tether and u dont need to root!!
i do it all the time works like a charm
Whoa really? Ill try it out sounds cool

I downloaded wireless tether and it does seem to work very well. Maybe its because I'm running it on CM7

I'm using Barnacle, free from the market. You can rename your network and secure it. It runs ad-hoc. I get 11mbps consistantly.

11mbps? What is your zipcode? You are on verizons 3G network?

10302 Staten Island, NYC. However I get the same speed all over NJ, where I work.
And yes, Verizon 3g.

How is that even possible? I am jealous, but still skeptical...

I'm not permitted to post the link, but I have been using Wifi Tether for Root Users v3.1beta2 and it seems to be working better than ever. Make sure you select DroidX as your device profile.

It's not, I just speedtested it, I feel stupid now for going over the mouseover link in the systray. Sorry for misleading. It's actually 1mbps and .56mpbs upload. Still, faster than my sprint 4g aircard that work has me using.
Ok great I can finally go to sleep!

Thanks, man! FINALLY got a wireless tether app to work on my D2 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried a bunch of others and none of them actually connected out to the internet.
Like derezzer says, select DroidX as your device profile. In addition, i also selected Change Setup-Method to Hostapd (master). So far, so good.
Pdanet works for wired tether. Wifi does not. If u are looking for a tether that works for, lets say, tablets or gaming systems, and not a computer, i haven't found one that works. If its just for a pc, use with tether for root users

If you want to pay for it. The apps you can download like wirelesstether require root.

Root your dang phone! Don't be scared.
There is a way without root! It's called pay Verizon more $$$
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Even after you root your phone, there is still currently no way to turn the X2 into a wireless access point for free. You CAN set up an ad-hoc connection if your other device supports that. Most do not, except for a laptop running Windows 7.
However, there are MANY other advantages to rooting your phone, and it's not that hard to do.
I am rooted running eclipse.2 rom and tether using wireless tether to my windows xp laptop. Works great no issues. Google wirelesstether.apk for the app.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I will agree. Rooting your phone is key. If for nothing else but to delete the bloat apps with titanium backup. You can also create backups, tweak memory, run scripts. But mostly tether for free.

Root to unlock the full potential of your X2.
I know the advantages of rooting, I've had a og DROID, DROID 2 and DROID x all rooted and flashed, I just haven't really felt the need to root atm

Not an ad-hoc connection, huh? Is it the Eclipse ROM that's enabling you to do that?

PDA Net And EasyTether Are Both Free And Paid Apps For Non-Rooted Users.
It is an add hock connection, but works fine on xp. I even use my work vpn login with no issues.

Clockwork Mod tether works without root as well. I used CWM tether first hand, and works great

Why is anyone concerned about tethering off the sprint 2g network anyways. Just saying anything you tether to will be pointless can't stream video media on sprint data is to slow.. Unless you just aim to use the Net..

Where do I check "unknown sources" and "USB debugger". I can't find them on this phone.
Tethering a tablet without data for gps in your car. Letting your psp/vita/ipod touch/laptop get connection. You decide. They are all viable reasons to tether 3g.

Go into your PHONES SETTINGS, on mine I go into SECURITY to check the "UNKNOWN SOURCES & then I go into the DEVELOPER OPTIONS to check the "DEBUGGING"

Not true cuz FoxFi works gr8 4 me & I watch videos on my laptop. The 3G on this fone is BETTER than the 3G on older phones because our 3G works like the 4G on the OG Evo

I've been looking for weeks now asked every forum I know and no one can seem to help me? All I want is to know how I can get the stock hotspot app to work on my Verizon gs3! Most likely using the sqlite editor app. Please help me out I'm losing hope!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
What do you mean stock hotspot app? Doesnt verizon come with its own?
Yes but there is a way to remove the entitlement check so I can use it with out paying more dang money to Verizon

What's wrong with rooting (it's simple enough on SG3) and then using an app like Wifi tether?
Foxfi works well no root and it's free in the market

1) Rooting i not for everyone...
2) They may be like me and waiting for the bugs to be irons out. (Maybe its perfect but I am personally in no rush.)
I do think there are some apps on the play store that allow you to tether without the standard carrier one correct? I thought I was reading that some where...Again I could be wrong! (They may only work VIA USB though.)
get widgetoids from app store and create a hot spot shortcut. It will turn on the stock app without having to pay.

Those apps didn't work

Any other hot spot tethers that will work with the JB update?
Foxfi was only ICS. My girls phone is non root (didn't want to root with foxfi) and took the update.

I use clockwork mod via USB and it still works. I'll check foxfi.
