This is for a family member, not for me, so it's simpler to find a non-root (free) solution. I tried fox-fi, but it doesn't seem to work on the rezound. It creates a hotspot but with no connectivity.
Are there any other methods, or do I have to go and root?

No, there is no working tether option for a stock, non-rooted Rezound other than the paid Verizon tethering.
OK. Thanks!
I used ClockworkMod Tether for a while before rooting my Rezound. It requires a USB cable and a program installed on your computer, but it is free.

I use Klink daily on my phone - it's a wired tether. It claims to work without root. I am rooted, so I don't know for certain that it works without root, but I can't recall it ever asking for root privileges. There is a free version that only lets you visit 3 or 4 pre-selected web sites, but that's all you need to test if it works for you.

Has anyone tried to tether the cpu using pdanet, then creating a hotspot on the cpu using its built in wireless adapter? Wireless Wifi apps arent working for me so I'd thought I try thinking outside of the box. But I haven't gotten it to work yet
The whole point of tethering is to send a wifi signal without using your computer.
Noone wants to carry their computer around all the time, but sometimes you need internet on your devices that dont have a usb port.
Yea its mostly so I can create a wireless hotspot at home so I can use my ipod touch

Why not just use one of the many temp root methods and tether like that if you want WiFi for your iTouch?
Temp Root + Wireless Tether for Root Users
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It initially tells you that you aren't root, but then it works fine when you enable it (at least for me on the newest beta).
Yea I have that. It doesn't work consistently but ima try re-rooting my phone

Use PdaNet to tether to your laptop. Use Connectify on your laptop to create Wifi Hotspot.
I'll try that and report back if it works

Does anyone have a working hack, tweak, mod, or app for the Galaxy S2 without paying for the tethering feature from the carrier. Something that does not require root will be preferred but rooting is an option i'll take if necessary

PDANet
Not sure if it works on GSII or not.....
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether from Market... but you need Root for this...

PDA Net does work on the SGSII without root, I'm using it right now.
is PDAnet fairly quick? I used it awhile back on an iphone 3gs but mywi was always quicker so I stopped using pdanet
I did the same thing on my iPhone 4. However, I was told PDANET is more secure than MyWi. Supposedly it's easier for AT&T to track that you are tethering without a policy when using MyWi. Of course that doesn't matter anymore now that we are on Android devices.
PDANet is pretty decent. I just did a speed test through my browser and it got 7mbps.
Edit, just did a speed test on the phone. Also got 7mbps, so PDANet is full speed from the phone to the PC.

Have a question re Wi-Fi tethering. I am rooted running Eclipse V1.3 I am looking to tether my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet and my Droid X2. The problem is when I start the tether with the phone and tablet I get a webpage from Verizon wanting me to purchase the tether for $20.00 a month. I thought one of the benefits of being rooted allowed you to be able to connect without any restrictions? Any help would be appreciated.
You will need to use either this...
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or an app from the market.. I recommend Barnacle as I have used it before.
That being said, so far these apps only support ad-hoc mode and not master or access point mode so some devices and clients may not connect.
Your mileage may vary..
There is also a thread here.. somewhere about using radiocom to tag data packets differently to utilize the stock hotspot, but i beleive that method no longer works.
Barnacle is very simple and easy to use. Can be set with wep password too. I recommend it as well

Thank you both for your quick reply, will give it a shot.
i 3rd, the use of the Barnacle app. my friends that have iphones ask to use my wifi.. and this little app has never failed.
I've heard of an app called face sniff. Supposedly like fire sheep where it van gain access to accounts on a network. I wonder if A) it works, and B) it works with barnacle haha
Anyone ever try the app before?

I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?
To use the mobile hot spot you have to pay for it

I'm using this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre113.apk&can=2&q= and I have "Routing Fix" checked under settings. Works good for me (CleanROM 1.1 and Ziggy's Kernel).
Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market. Don't change any settings. Just have an open connection and use access control. Like I said. Long story short, the issue lies within encryption. Leave it open and use access control. Hope this helps.

+1. Its the only way I got it to work with my device so far.
So what paid/free apps are currently working?
Is anyone tethering a Touchpad running CM7 successfully? or an iPad? Currently posting for hotspot, but might cancel if I can still successfully tether those two over Adhoc. I can't get the Touchpad to work using wifi tether yet and don't have an iPad right now.

I've successfully tethered my IPad2 to my Rezound with Wireless Tether 2.0.7.
I also tether my Ipad2 without any problems. I'm using Open Garden.
Hi everyone,
I would like to add wifi tether back to my phone, since I'm currently running 4.4 unrooted on my DNA.
My Droid DNA *isn't rooted* and I currently don't have any interest any ROMs or anything involving a full root. I very happy with stock at the moment and only miss the occasional WIFI tether. I have used FoxFi in the past and it currently doesn't support the droid DNA.
So what I'm thinking is just giving my phone temp root with weaksauce, and use a root access app like "WiFi Tether for Root Users" by Müller, Lemons, Buxton
* Install weaksauce + Super SU for root
* Install wifi tether app and use that
* Set wifi app to Generic WLAN 0 and check routing fix so it would tether correctly
* Use temp root and root app until foxfi comes out with DNA support
* uninstall super SU and weaksauce for it to be completely stock again
So would this work? Would root be removed if i just uninstall Super SU, then Weaksause? Has anyone used Weaksause on the Droid DNA? Is there something unstable with Weaksause, that makes it not practical for this? Is there a better wifi tether app for 4.4?
I can live without WIFI tether, but I thought this could be a handy trick to bring it back. If anyone has tried this or any of these steps, please let me know. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
I used weaksauce to root/s-off my DNA. I can say that it was easy, and it is simple to reverse, I think it'd be safe to try!
Weak sauce work for me for temp root as well. Not sure about the rest of your strategy though.

The WiFi teather for root users app doesn't work on kit Kat as far as I know. They may have updated it but it wasn't working last month.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
O wow, I wasn't aware of that.Thanks for that tip. I looked around on the market today, and didn't see any apps with 4.4 support... So I believe that is still the case.
-Now I know Weaksauce, is a solid way to get some temp root for apps only (no ROMs, and flashing)
-Weaksauce is super easy to install and remove
-And currently there is still no app (rooted or non-rooted) supporting WiFi tether on the Droid DNA running 4.4
I think I'll wait for FoxFi to come out with a fix for the Droid DNA. I don't think it should be that much longer because, they seem to have a fix on Samsung phones. I may use Weaksauce for some root access apps in the future, so thanks on that info.
Thanks Everyone
FoxFi now works on 4.4 for the DNA
FoxFi now has it working,so give it a try.

It does work on Kit Kat. I've used it on stock, without root, and it seems to work. It redirects you to the stock wifi tether, while its opening a free tether port, so you can manually turn it on there. It has trouble turning on sometimes, Do NOT hit the call Verizon for subscription button. It takes a little patience, so keep trying to launch and it'll go eventually. Turning off the tether works best when I turn it off through the stock wifi, rather than FoxFi. Hope this helps and let me know if you decide to try with root access or another ROM.
