Hello everyone I have a question for you. My roommate is talking about getting an Iphone with At&T and though I have tried as hard as I can to convince him to get a droid instead he is determined. But he does want to know if the Iphone can make a wireless hotspot after its been rooted like the android phones can. I believe it can do Tethering but I'm unsure about hotspot. any help you can give me would be wonderful! thank you
Yeah you can jailbreak it and then download an app to get free wireless hotspot. Tell him you can't though so he buys an Android phone.

O.k., let me apologize if this is a repeated post. I really did not want to do this, but I am desperate!
I know that the forum mods frown upon repeated posts.
But, I have searched everywhere on this forum and on Google!
I recently grew a set of grapefruits rooted my Cricket Sanyo Zio (running 2.2) and my ViewSonic G Tablet (also running 2.2 rooted with 4349)
I downloaded Wireless Tether to the Zio; didn't work!
I downloaded Barnacle to the Zio. Seems to give a WiFi signal. The PC's seem to detect it, but the G Tablet doesn't!
I then looked at a couple of youtube videos and downloaded all the necessary stuff (nvflash and gtab.Century.Eyes.rar) on the G Tab, risking turning this machine into a $300+ paper weight!
Still doesn't do it!
Then, I noticed there isn't an custom ad-hoc for Zio on Barnacle.
Could that be the problem or did I just didn't do something right on the G Tab part?
Help much appreciated.
I don't know about the G tab but barnacle has worked flawlessly for me with everything I've tried to use it with.

With wireless tether go into settings and change to wpa-supplicant instead of ad-hoc and set a 13 character wpa key. Also set an SSID name. Connect to Wi-Fi on whatever you want to tether.

Nope. Didn't work.
FORGET IT!
Once again, let me apologize!
I did not realize this was a forum for people that are already born with the knowledge of Android hacking and tricks and that speaks this constant techno babble!
I think I will cancel my account and go else where...Better yet, I'll just get rid of the G Tablet and stick with this big clunky Windows laptop!
It is obvious in this everyone-for-them-self society, you cannot help with one simple little task!
DON'T WORRY! I WILL NOT LET THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE ASS!
BTW: TELL YOUR SPONSORS TO QUIT SENDING ME SPAM E MAILS!
Well good bye! I offered a solution. My tether works perfectly with wpa.

Wireless tether is basically stealing. Full props to verizon for finally blocking it. And gnesoid was taken down by he developer it is not being blocked by verizon.

Explain this to me. How is this stealing?
Is using Google Navigator stealing because VZW has VZ Navigator which they charge a monthly fee to use?
We pay $30+ for our data package, we shouldn't have to pay additional fees to use that same data.

Sigh. They [verizon] never blocked it, the developer pulled it on request of sega. Verizon might piss you off at times, but they don't care about a video game emulator to a 20+ year old system, lol. However...the former console company that hasn't really done much since they retired the said system might want to complain...
So why was Gensoid taken down? According to the developer, it was at the request of Sega. They must have contacted Google and gotten the emulator taken off the market. What exactly Sega claimed in order to take it down isn't know as Google usually isn't forthcoming with details, just general overviews, when asked. The next question is, why now?

It's also obvious if you search the market on your computer (not your phone). Wireless tether is still there if you use a browser, gensoid is not.

Stealing
Charging customer more money to tether to another device is stealing. Way I look at it, we already pay for 5gb of data (some unlimited). Wireless carriers should let us tether to any device we want to our data limit. I pay for my data plan and should be able to use any way I want to up to the carriers limit.
Barnacle Wifi Tether is still in there at least, i always liked that better anyways.
Just put your phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on and go to the market you will then be able to see all tether apps.

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to connect my phone to my laptop and use the internet, when I plug it in I see the option for "internet connection" but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the help
Search "tether" and you will find what you are looking for.
There's 2 options. You could use wifi tether. Wich u have to search Google for. Or u can use easy tether which is on the market

But if I use wifi tether. Won't I need to.be connected to a wifi network? I want to use my 3g/4g connection. If there is wifi connectivity, I could just connect my laptop to that, I wouldn't need my phone?
Thanks for the clarification

No you need wifi tether it creates a hot spot but requires root

Wifi Tether will be included in the next GingerVolt also. I am trying to find a way to get it to have certain settings automatically, but no luck so far.
With ur USB tether share switcher works really well for me. Just add the widget and click on the usb

Ouch!! I just slapped my forehead really hard.
Good answers gentlemen, as always.
In our themes and apps section, there is a thread "wifi tether, not mine" there is an app that works perfect for me. I have thought about dropping ATT for net, and just using Verizon for surfing at home. That would save me 50 dollars a month. Downfall: I have an awesome phone that can do that, my wife does not. So I would have to retire, and live at home and write best selling books so my phone could always be here to make a connection to the net for my wife. Boy.. that would be... terrible.

Yeah that app used to be in the market but was quickly pulled, so now Google just posts it there.

Your provider may require you to pay a fee. There are likely folks that can get around paying.
I did try "easy tether" when I found that the rooting process damaged my tethering setup. It did work well for an hour to two, until my provider found me and throttled me down to dial-up speed. "Their support guy enjoyed my story and admitted the same thing happened to him once too.
Is it possible to do wifi hotspot tethering on a t-mobile Galaxy Exhibit? What is the easiest way of doing this without paying a crap load extra to t-mobile?? Trying to help an out of town family member out so we can do facetime over 4G on an iPad (I don't own an Exhibit, I have an S3).
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Try looking in the Market foxfi is good, they charge a small price for there app

You know what I found funny? They were supposed to support the EVO 4G LTE at some point, and never did. I could never get it to show up in a search from the Market. But now, I searched for it with the HTC One, and there it is. And I can download it, but can't use it. It says it's unsupported. I really wish I could have this back.
I'd like to play with this, but I'll probably never actually use it. I don't know other Sprint users with or who would have direct connect. It's unfortunate Sprint has made this feature so exclusive that it's basically killed the feature.
It's made it exclusive to the **** phones they sell. Should be available for the high-end phones as well.
