I know this is a dumb question, but can someone please tell me how I achieve tethering. I know it is set up to work on this rom but I don't know how to make it actually happen!
Thanks so much
Edit: I have the 'free tether' option selected in wireless settings
You could just download the "Wireless Tether" from Google Code. It works perfectly even on the Atrix as long as you're rooted. Should work on all the GingerBlur/Adeo mods too.
Which version do you use?
Also, does this need to use wifi, I'm trying to tether with just data connex

think about this for a minute. if you have wifi, why would you need tether?
of course tethering works on data only, it uses your wifi ON THE PHONE to create its own wifi network
you dont have to download any app, just open Settings, Wireless and Networks, MOBILE HOTSPOT, and turn it on.....
well thanks pirateghost...for the somewhat sarcastic reply. lol .
yes, sure that does make sense, duh! ...i guess it hadn't occured to me bc i assumed tethering was done thru a usb cable as i had done on WM before. something was wrong with my settings to make the wifi hotspot connect. i had to open the apn and save it (without making changes to it). this allowed it to connect and now have it working thru the hotspot.

Haha nice catch I didnt notice that. Let me power up my delorean and get 6.5 for all us. I think that is the last version before Motorola unlocked the bootloader. Wireless tether is what is recommended since there are many guides for it and works with all operating systems whereas usb would not. You could try pdanet which I paid for but not on my current device. That supports both however $30 might be more than you are willing to pay for usb support
I was hoping to use pdanet to connect my Flyer to Evo phone for internet access when wifi is not available. I installed it on both devices, followed all directions, and they both said they were paired and connected. But Flyer can't get online.
Has anyone else tried this? Or know what I'm doing wrong?

Why should someone? Both devices have all functions for a direct connection and didn't need old tools like pdanet?!
On the EVO phone:
-> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot ...
On the Flyer:
- Connect to the WiFi which you set up above
PS. Some providers didn't aloud to make a WiFi-Hotspot on their 3G connections.

Yes, I know this, but sorry to say I don't want to pay $30 every month for occasional internet access for Flyer to access the very same stuff I could do on the phone. So I don't understand the extra charge. Data is data, and if I go over what I pay for, I am happy to pay for additional. Why should the device matter? Hence, a tethering app.
Ah ok. Your not rooted?

Right. Not rooted.
I thought pdanet was a wired tether app? Hate to sound like a cliche xda user but root might be your best bet.

Pdanet has a bluetooth connection option, and also now has a beta tablet version. I think Easy Tether is wired only. After following directions to configure, it appears they are connected to each other, bluetooth pairing, etc, but no data will flow through phone to tab.
I've had my Evo for quite a while, and it's exactly the way I want it. I hate the thought of rooting and risking really screwing things up. I'd like to make it work without root.
I wonder if there are any integral differences between Flyer and View that would cause problems in connecting to phone hotspot. Is phone hotspot any different from computer wifi?
Now I have a rooted Wifi Flyer with support for Ad-Hoc networks. Just replace the wpa_supplicant file under system/bin with the one you can download on this forum.
The file is located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
No need to flash the zip. Just open it, copy the wpa_supplicant file to your Flyer and reboot.
Now I can use wireless tether with my rooted D1.
hi...i usually connect my lg optimus 2x to PC with USB and use computer's internet connection (reverse USB teethering). but i want to know if its possible to force telephone that it thinks that it is connected to wi-fi, while using 3g data connection. i want use that especially when games want to download data over the wifi...
If your device is rooted, you could get a wireless hotspot app from the market, start the hotspot on your phone, then connect to it (connect your device to itself ).
I don't think you can connect to your own hotspot.

tried but its not working..i think that androids dont support wifi multitasking like iphones do,so they cant receiving and teethering connection at the same time..

iphone doesnt support wifi tether lol...
you can just grad a wifi hotspot phone and load your sim in. share the network to your device and enjoy...
it is quite annoying when it doesnt let me use my data for gameloft game data download too.

The iPhone does support wifi tethering (not trying to defend it though ).

Actually you can. I've said that before to other people who wanted to download gameloft data and for some other purposes which require wifi, and it worked.
I want to do this too.... but the Mobile Hotspot app on my phone turns off WiFi if it is one, and if I turn on Wifi while Mobile Hotpsot is on, it disables the Hotspot.
Any other solution ? An app maybe ? A tweak ?
what wifi hotspot app was used?.. and to the OP, how did you reverse tether via usb?

You can use this to reverse tether: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345.
On my desire you can have activated only wirelles or only hotspot, i think the same wirelles adapter is used for it, so it wouldnt be possible.

How? I've been searching for a workaround to this for some time now.
Please tell me how...
I have a rooted Bionic, Eclipse ICS 4.0.4. I use FoxFi Full version for my hotspot. I need my phone to connect to the mobile hotspot it's currently transmitting. (I think that's what I need)
Why? I want an advanced ability to monitor who is using my mobile hotspot, using DroidSheep to monitor what they're using the connection for. Trouble is, DroidSheep (And al similar programs) only work if the phone (with the app) is actually connected to the wifi network. It won't work if it's the one transmitting the signal.

I would like to know the same thing. Which tether on the market doesn't shut down WiFi when it's cut on?

You just have one wifi Modul it can be a hot spot or it can be connected to a Router.
Both together isn't possible.
Else you could also use it as wifi repeater

Ok maybe its just me not finding this out till right now but you can Pair your Phone to your Tablet, then in Settings hit Internet access via tether and Bam !!
Internet Access !! Not rooted
Figure I pass this along to those that dont know.. Free interwebs !!
Yup. 10char
Paired my galaxy s II to my tablet through bluetooth. I enabled bluetooth tethering but still can't get an internet connection. Under bluetooth settings it says next to the galaxy s II - Paired but not connected
you have to hit the little wrench next to it and go to enable internet access
hmm the wrench gives me -
xxxxx options
Rename Device
Unpair
Pofiles
xxxxx being the name of my phone and nothing underneath profiles
if able to, use wifi tethering instead. BT slowestof tethering methods. but if wifi won't work, BT is better than no connection at all. Barnacle or Wifi Tether are good apps to use. phone with internet connection needs root for it to work. so o guess if your phone not rooted and BT tether works, its better than nothing. lol

its decent. if you do a speedtest.net comparison of the 2 tethering methods, wifi always alot faster. BT is good though. as long as you able to tether, that's all that matters, no matter the method used.

I have a galaxy s2 with juggernaut rom but it doesnt work. maybe it's not for all phones
i can pair it as you said but I can't get on the internet. It takes me to the Verizon tether page telling me I have to pay for tethering. I have a rooted Droid X but don't have any tethering apps installed. I thought for a minute you found a way around this.

Doesn't Work with my revolution but I don think bluetooth works properly on that either lol
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Doesn't work on my Evo 3D as well
Wow that sucks its not working for any of you..
My Droid X is rooted but I am not using any of those and nothing asked for Superuser access
Not sure why it works for me. I have Wifi off and Just Bluetooth on
I connect both of them and it says they Paired but not connected, Then I click the wrench next to them and choose Use for internet access..it says connected
then I go right to google.com and it just works
I have the latest updates from Asus also
Works with my droid 2!
I had to press the wrench next to it and turn internet access off and back on again before it kicked in.
Now I want to upgrade to a 4G phone even more...
You have to be rooted and have a kernel that supports wifi tether. Thenn you have to run a .zip patch through the recovery screen just Google your device and include wifi tether and/or patch. There are hundreds of how to writeups.

Or use Bluetooth for the lucky few that it works for, no need for rooting or patching etc etc

easy solution then. if u rooted already, just Google the wireless tethering apk and Barnacle apk. and you should be able to tether over wifi without having to pay for the plan. as long as you have a data connection and don't go overboard on the tethering like doing huge downloads n such.
Yeah I know I can install the apk's and make it work but I am a little afraid of getting caught and losing my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I read once where they can see that you are tethering since the MAC address of the device using the data is embedded in the transmission or something like that.
Any Verizon phones successfully connected?
If you have a Verizon phone and can bluetooth tether please say which model you have. I unfortunately bricked my HTC Incredible trying to follow some convoluted process for downgrading and then rooting.
So, yeah, I have to get a new phone and would like to know which one I should get that will allow me to bluetooth tether without rooting.
BTW, I am getting really frustrated with Android and the tweaking, hacking, and manipulating just to get functions to work. I don't have an Apple bone in my body, but I envy them for ease of use.
I've tried searching xbox tether on Rezound forum and can't find any.. I'm on stock rooted s-on rebooted and want to know if anyone has successfully tethered the Rezound to their xbox and what apps work best.. I've read that Clean Rom has it but can I simply put it in myself?
Thanks for any help.

There are two ways you can go about this. If you want to tether via USB then I would go with easy tether from the play store. It costs ten bucks but it works flawlessly.
Since you are rooted you can get wireless tether straight from google. If you get the latest version, which I believe is beta 14, you should be able to connect your Xbox. If you choose this route make sure you pick Samsung galaxy CDMA in the device profile and click the routing fix box in settings or it won't work.
Thanks dabomb ill test out the beta14 tonight
you can try this app (Attatched). this tether app is the one the comes pre-installed on most Roms. i just extracted a copy of it from my phone to share it.
I've enabled routing fix and set to nexus cdma but my xbox doesn't seem to find it. Can I enable wifi encryption? Or should I unchecked? How close do I have to be for it to pick up? This is my first time tethering thanks
Wifi tether works great if you're rooted. I highly recommend that one.

There's a thread in the dev section here that tells you how to get it working. You need a patched tethering app and if you're on GB you need to flash a zip in recovery
Or you can use "Connectify" to turn your PC into a Router. when you turn on Connectify, you can go into another room or downstairs and connect through wifi to your PC from any Wifi Device.
you can probably Tether From your phone to your PC, then use Connectify to start a Hotspot on your PC which would be using the Internet from your phone and your Xbox could Pickup the Hotspot from your PC.
Did I hear wrong or is it true that wireless online gameplay has more lag than a wired connection?
