Tethering?

I'm running a 2.3.3 stock, rooted deodyxed(sp) nexus one and I was would wondering what apps are out there that would let me tether?
Thanks in advance.

ummmmm the stock rom has this built-in.... I thought.

Settings>Wireless&Network>Tether&portable hotspot

Yeah stock android has tethering built into the OS. Up to 8 devices I believe, or close.

So that won't require me to pay through ATT? Could anyone elaborate?

Yes
yes you don't need to pay the carrier i got t-mo and I use tethering all the time. It works great or download barnacle for creating a wifi hotspot, thats better.

I think this isn't entirely true. The carriers have some control over this, and AT&T recently changed their tethering policy. That might mean you can't tether without the proper account.

The carriers can't control tethering. They can attempt to charge for it, though, using various methods of detecting you tethering.

That's what I'm thinking about; because I bought this phone from someone here and the line is still registered to a Capptivate, how could they know if I'm tethering or not?
I would have increased upload ans download usage but... other than that how could they know?

That, to me, is a form of control, and what I meant.
I don't know if they do this, but theoretically, it could be built into the system to know when packets are the result of tethering. More likely, is that it is built into the phone software by the carrier, and so the N1 wouldn't be subject to this because the carrier doesn't have control over that.

I see everyone is using the term "tethering" to mean your phone sharing its internet connection via Wi-Fi? I guess the definition has changed -- to me, tethering was always using your phone as a dial-up modem, i.e., using a dial-string to connect to the internet, no? For example, using BT DUN (which is advantages, as you can keep your phone in your pocket and initiate an internet connection right from the computer, although I have yet to see an implementation of this on Android). In this case, carriers can tell. For example, with Rogers, the dial string is *99# so they can tell if you are using data over that versus using data on device via the normal APN.

Yes, I believe the most of the reference for "tethering" is changed from "legacy" reference - it's either USB or WiFi tether, and in both you don't actually use the phone as a modem to establish a connection, but use its own connectivity and share the access to it.

I guess I need to catch up with the times! To me what your describing was internet connection sharing, not tethering... I guess my age is starting to show!

Bluetooth tethering ?

Hello all I'm new to the galaxy tab but not new to xda... I have searched but havent reallly found the answer to my question.
I have a blackberry with an app called tether. The blackberry phones don't support wifi tethering. But they do support Bluetooth tethering. Has anyone ever successfully been able to tether TO a galaxy tab via Bluetooth from a blackberry?
I would like to know so that I can know what my data plans should be

I have seen a thread about this before. I don't remember the answer. Instead of the pathetic xda search, try google. It will find that thread better.

I have searched both xda and Google and I'm mainly finding tethering FROM a galaxy tab via Bluetooth but not to. I figured that creating a thread would be more beneficial.

Bluetooth tethering is supported on the 10.1 Tab due to Honeycomb. I BT tethered my 10.1 to my Win Mobile Treo, easy as passing wind.
As for Froyo/Gingerbread, no such luck, the option is just not there on the Tab 7, at least not on mine.

Wow so I'm out of luck it seems atleast till we get a honeycomb port

Can a Verizon Tab be used as a HotSpot???

I am locked down with AT&T at the moment but would like to use Verizons data from time to time. I am looking to take advantage of the $20/Month 1GB Tablet Prepay data plan Verizon offers.
My question is, if I have a Samsung Tab can I root it and use it as a hot spot so my Laptop can tether off the Tab??
Thanks,

yes! if you're using the stock rom installed (froyo) there is an app preinstalled that comes with the tab that enables tethering. ive used it twice.

Thanks,
And can you confirm that it does not require a tethering plan to do this?
If this is the case I will pick up a Tab asap.
Thanks again.

Disregard that last request...
I did a chat with Verizon and it seems that HotSpot is included in all Tablet plans. So I am golden and off to shop Craiglist.
Thanks again,

I purchased my tab strictly for the tethering service for $49 the week before the new tabs came out and it works great.

Have any of you changed ROMs and still been able to use these features? I am having all sorts of issues with 3G dropping when using the stock 2.3.5 ROM but I can't find any other ROMs that have the Verizon Data Service menu required to activate the month to month verizon plans for the Tab.
