I'm currently on the Simple Choice North America 10GB Family plan and was wondering if there was any benefit to using WiFi Tether Router over the included Mobile Hotspot. Are there any software benefits and/or plan benefits to using the WiFi Tether Router app? I tried contacting the app's author on this, but apparently there's a loss in translation thing going on.

How do you guys do wireless tether with this phone? Whenever I try to use the Wireless Tether app, it creates an ad hoc network that I can't get my laptop to connect to. When my friend uses the same app with his evo, I have no problems connecting to it. Something about it having an infrastructure mode?
So, my question is, what do you guys use/do to successfully wirelessly tether to this phone?
Barnacle wifi tether if you insist on wifi tethering; or you could use Easy Tether for wired, but i believe it needs to be sideloaded
On a related note (sorry, don't mean to hijack), does the stock OTA 2.2 have the same tether tracking as the leaked version from earlier this year? I really don't want to pay the extra fee for something I'll use less than once a month.
I do not have a tethering plan and I know about creating a new APN with the epc, but when I go into my Mobile Hotspot to do the tethering to my iPad, it says Error under the words Mobile Hotspot after I turn it on (I can still connect to the Internet on my phone with this error message)
My iPad can see my phones tethering connection under the WiFi connection choices and my phone shows me as being a connected User under users. I just cannot actually get on the Internet on my ipad with the Mobile Hotspot tether. I can get in the Internet still on my phone using the new APN.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another work around or way to tether FREE to my iPad using my phones Internet?
(I also tried a third party app called FoxFi and same thing happens where my iPad sees it as a connection access point but I cannot actually get on the Internet at all)
(Also what is Bluetooth Tethering?)
TIA!
Don't mess with that worthless mobile-hotspot app...
Just install WiFi Tether for Root Users from the Play Store, use the APN settings listed below, and go with it....
I have been searching for this particular problem but I didn't find anywhere and seeking a solution here which I think is the most suitable place.
I want to tether Wi-Fi data and not the cellular data. Reason is that one can use Wi-Fi data freely from many other sources and like to use that in our laptop instead of the expensive cellular data.
I have figured out two methods, but that have their own limitations.
(i) One can use USB tether (easytether apps) to use wi-fi data. In this method the positive thing is that one can tether either of the data i.e. wi-fi data and cellular data. But the thing is that we need a cable always, once we use wifi hotspot then we only can use cellular data. In this method the disadnantage is we always need a cable and sometime it frequently gets disconnected.
(ii) Second method is using bluetooth one can tether the Wifi data. For example using Foxfi apps one can use Wi-fi data by activating Bluetooth DUN ( and there could be many more apps like Foxfi). But the disadvantage is internet is very slow even when the wifi data is high speed.
One obvious question is if I need wifi data then why do I need to tether through the phone. But there are situation when I can't connect the wifi directly due to some reason. Secondly, suppose the main wifi has got some proxy authentication but in my phone I could connect the same wifi but without the proxy authentication and if some how I tether that to laptop then I can connect internet directly without any proxy.
So I curious to know is there any way to tether the Wifi data (not the cellular data) using hotspot or any other way.
Hi Everyone,
Looking to upgrade to the G5 - I'm on Sprint - Before I make the leap, are there any mods out there to enable the native hotspot feature?
Same here. I have wifi tether from the play store and am happy to get foxfi if either work.
If anyone finds a way, they would save me from jumping ship when the new nexus drops
I need/want Wifi tethering
So, just my curiousity, there's no wifi tethering in G5 Sprint? I could share my 3G connection using the native H850 tethering function.
So I live in Scotland with Three mobile phone service, they have an all you can eat data plan which I currently use. Occasionally, when I travel to see family I need to have the ability to tether my phone as their rural broadband speed is only about 0.5mbps.
I've used PDAnet+ to tether, which masks when I go over my tether limit (8gb) but I always need to bring my latptop. I'd like to be able to connect my phone via USB to a travel router which allows USB tethering to share the connection but it still only allows me a tether limit of 8gb.
Will routing the phone and installing a rooting software allow me to mask my tethering via USB + Router or is this method only for phones where tethering menu option in settings has been disabled by the service provider?
