You can tether computers with bluetooth.

So, I was bored and sitting in class, when I decided I should add my D3 to my laptop as a bluetooth device (for file transfers down the road).
After I established a connection, I figured out you can tether through bluetooth.
Here's how (for Windows 7):
1) Press Start
2) Open "devices and printers"
3) Enable bluetooth on your phone
4) Click on "add a device" in the top-left of "devices and printers" on your computer
5) Establish a connection.
6) Find your D3 in the list of devices
7) Right click the phone's icon
8) Hover your mouse over "connect using" so that "access point" pops out to the right of the menu
9) "Click "access point"
10) INTERNET

just found this out too...
is there any way for verizon to figure out that youre doing this (other than the obvious 'if youre torrenting and pulling huge amounts of data they'll know')

I don't know if they can or not. I've pulled over 15gb of data this month (on my Incredible before I switched to D3 2 days ago) using the wireless tether app. I know they can't with that, so maybe this works the same way.

No offense, but it's people like you that caused Verizon to implement data caps and the new tiers in the first place.

They offered unlimited packages then get indignant when someone uses more than a couple hundred megs.
They put the new tiers in place PURELY to make money. They know as people start using netflix and spotify/pandora they will use more and more data. They could have beefed up the network, or charged people so much money that people won't be able to use the features they bought on said phones.
They went with option B.

I didn't see this post before, I've been trying to get Wifi Tethering to work on my SIM Based (3G) Droid 3 on Telstra (in Australia).
I tried everything, new ROM, wifi tether hack, tether market apps but nada. It would connect to Wifi, but either NAT doesn't work, or something like that is stopping data from passing "through" the phone.
This morning I thought maybe I can get Bluetooth tether to work with my Asus Transformer (unrooted).
After pairing, and selecting "Internet Access" in the pairing options on the tablet everything works! Awesome. I was so close to sending this phone back.
All I need to do now is work out how to fix the CRAPPY battery life! (and figure out wifi tether when I have more time).
Cheers

If you want more battery life, get the official extended battery. It gets me through a heavy day of usage with ~20% to spare.

This works with my Asus Transformer as well. I was using my Droid 3 bluetooth to tether my Transformer tonight. Worked great!

I'm in the same boat as you. All I've got left to deal with now is Verizon's radio lockout of the call forwarding/waiting options, and i'm set.
I haven't got around to testing the Chinese radio yet...

The technology has been around a while, its greedy carriers that have been blocking it. It makes no sense with metered data plans, x GB is still x GB whether consumed on the phone or on a tethered computer. We are surprised the Droid 3 and other Droid phones can bluetooth tether for free without root. Why would I pay for wifi tether when bluetooth is free. I'm not sure what the speed limit of bluetooth is but I get full 3G speeds.

Mine is extremely slow on my work laptop compared to when I use the mobile hotspot. Is this normal? It's a work laptop and they still force me to use windows XP could that have something to do with it?

Is this free without any rooting/hacking?

Easy Tether

Just curious to see if anyone has tried Easy tether or PDA net with the bionic.

Give it a shot and let us know

I ask because I am not completely sure the Bionic is for me... trying to make an informed decision before I drop the $$$...

The only tethered apps people were able to use without paying are the USB tethered apps.
None of the WiFi hotspot apps worked.
I ended up signing up for the service so I would be able to do both. I can USB tether with my laptop, but not with my Tablet. Now I can easily do both.

I just tried Easy Tether on my Bionic. Connects just fine, but not giving me internet access for some reason. Will have to troubleshoot it later.

Is PDA Net the one that is recommended or are there other ones that work as well over USB?

I purchased Easy tether from the Amazon AppStore for $5 and it works flawlessly.
I am curious as to if anyone has been able to get USB tethering going on their Xoom.

Thanks. Will try it out. Did some researching. PDA Net claims it can hide Tethering from being detected. Wondering how valid of a claim that is.

i downloaded easytether light for free from the market and it works easily and perfectly on my macbook. any questions or troubleshooting, let me know.

Works good, bought it from Amazon App store today, dowloaded drivers, works great. Didn't do a speedtest on tethered pc, but pages loaded quick, no video stutter from youtube or netflix with good 4g signal.

Are you wanting to tether the xoom to a pc/mac or the xoom to the Bionic? I am able to tether my xoom and Bionic via bluetooth.

I recieved my Bionic last week from Verizon. The ads touted mobile hotspot with 4g LTE.
It was not working on my phone so I called the subscription number and asked why.
With the Bionic (4gLTE) service your phone will allow it to be used as a hot dopt for up to 5 devices at a time. This is a no cost option (at this time). If yours is not working call them and ask for the service to be turned on for you.
The current sales literature tells you that this is included at no additional charge.

i was told in the store this was a 30$ a month add on. i will be calling them. what number did you call?

I'm using PDA Net as we speak!! Works fine for me.

So today there is a new update for EasyTether.
I go to the marketplace to try and update but on the top it says "This item is not available on your carrier". I still have the app on my phone and it still works flawlessly but this is something new that I've noticed.

I just called the number that pops up (800) 256-4646 and was told that it is $30 per month.

Send the folks over at EasyTether an email they will hook you right up

i just got off the phone with verizon about their add. claiming that it was false advertising. i told them that i had an unliminted plan, why should i have to pay for another internet plan. well no no avail it did not work. i asked to talk to the supervisor and she told me that if i use verizons wireless hotspot that i would have to pay. but what i found odd was that she divulged a very nice tidbit in not so many words. she literally said if i root my phone and was android savoy i could manage to get it to work. she told me to look on the market for apps that would benefit the cause i was looking for. now i have never found a verizon rep that would ever say something like that. but i took one step further and asked her if i went the market app way, would i get penalized? her response was no. she told me that there is no way for them to see how many devices were hooked up the the phone. nor do they look for that. its all computer run. she said if i use gigs upon gigs of internet it would throw up a red flag and they would look further to see what was the cause. but if your a casual tetherer here and there you would be fine. she also told me that she has worked there for 5 years and has never seen anyone get in trouble for tethering. now this is when i diall 611 on the phone. not in a verizon store. bottom line is, there is hope for us lol

Seriously? Seriously? lol

what do you guys think about this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmZveGZpIl0.
will verizon end up finding out and charging us?

just dont go too crazy with it and you should be fine... i have been tethering with several different methods for 2+ years now and have never gotten in any trouble from verizon...
but if your data usage jumps from 1gb to 100gb in one month, it might raise a flag with them.

Sprint has it blocked.

Plugin
There is a FoxFi plugin that enables/adds a proxy method to proxy your connections through the browser so it helps keeps things under the radar even more (since carriers use many different methods to detect if you are tethering or not)

i been using this app since the day it came out for my old stratosphere and it worked just fine (and i download 10-20gigs a months no torrents just PSN games and Steam games i buy)

verizon doesnt know if you are tethering or not. it is data either way. in this case, the data looks like it is coming from that application. they would have to go looking for that to find out if you were tethering or not. I have been tethering without a tethering plan for years. no grief. not a word.

THey won't be able to tell, it's just data either way to them.
We should be A-OK

Looking into this right now, can't wait to give this tether a try

FoxFi was rather buggy on the older Gingerbread builds for the D4, but I have been using it on the ICS builds with no problem at all. Works great.

I've been using PDA Net and FoxFi, no troubles.

With FoxFi there is no problem.

root: free tether: use 3g on same phone

Hi, Im interested in rooting my G note.
I rooted my HTC HD2 a long time ago and it was just alot better (custom roms). HOWEVER:
Im interested in this android tether application: Obviously you can tether you 3g you pay for monthly with the phones default settings. BUT
using root access, does this mean you can cancel your contract!, get a pay as you go contract, use the android tether to effectively steal the 3g data and then stream it to the same phone over wifi and browse for instance on Opera mini, mobile firefox, receive email over it?
or, is it the case that you can only tether to other devices such as ipod touch,,another wifi capable phone?
I can't really see the use in this otherwiseunless you carry around two phones all the time.
Can someone clear this up please because all the videos Ive watched they only prove it works on another device.
thanks very much, and I hope this works
by the way , I am based in the UK, have the standard european version and Im on a 3g network called 3. If this only works withother uk providers Id be happy to switch to orange/t-mobile , O2 etc

Forgive me as i dont really understand what you're looking for. Is there a link to the tethering app you're speaking of? Tethering apps are usually so you can use your phones 3g for your laptop/pc. If youre on 3, then youre unlimited bundle comes in handy. A friend of mine tethers his sgs2 t9 his laptop using unlimited 3g as his broadband connection and has done for some time now without being restricted.
I dont understand when you say "steal the 3g from a pay as you go phone" to your note? That seems pointless. Surely yiu could just stick the pay as you go sim into your note?
Also, there are a lot of tethering apps that dont require root access.

I thought one of the advantages of rooting your phone is to be able to not pay the monthly contract and use the tethering wifi from whichever network your on.

yeh I know this....so...
oh, so it is only when you have a data plan already, you get tethering for free. when rooted. Nothing special then. ''. ?
so you can't have no data plan and effectively steal free data? ? '',
oh wait: having said that i was thethering a few months ago and my bill was huge: so I dont get it for free..
so reverting my original question:: does this work on the 3 network in the uk? thx
also:
couldn't i just root like an old samsung galaxy, keep it in my left pocket, travel the world , lol and keep a galaxy note in the other pocket using the wifi from the old samsung?
Im a little confused too, couldn't you do this with no data plan, i.e pay as you go and when you connect to 'data 3g' they charge you as you go, but effectively just tether it to another phone for free? so basically you would just pay for calls and not internet?

Ok, what the guy is on about is thqt operators in us charge an extra bolt on for the priveledge of enabling tethering. O2 used to do it when tethering was first enabled on the iphone 3gs, it was 10 quid a month or something rediculous.
Im pretty sure that now its free to enable tethering in the uk. All it means is that you can pair your phone using existing data plan to your laptop or pc, and effectively use it as a mobile 3g modem.
So yes, tethering will work on any network or rom, you're just limited by your existing data plan as to how worthwhile it is. If you get a 3 all you can eat data plan, then its unlimited, but of course speeds are pretty crappy.
Im sure there is a way to hack an operators 3g networks and get data for free but would imagine thats a bit beyond xda's strict code of ethics
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I see, what I meant when I got charged alot was that I went over the 5GB limit.
If I was to tether for free, using the root access, would I basically 'eat up that data' whilst tethering to another device for free?
As you know, in the uk, the tethering access most commonly comes under the same data plan and isn't free in that regard.

Yes, tethering just uses your existing data plan. Try getting one of 3's all you can eats if possible, im sure theyd be willing to if you call them up.

To me it looks more like you have no idea about what rooting and tethering really is/does.... Since what you are asking is completely ridiculous...
You want to use your 3G data to send it over wifi, back to the same phone......
You can just cut out the tether part and use your 3G directly........
it's like getting into the car by entering into the trunk to get out by the back door to finally open the drivers door and sit in the drivers seat, instead of just open the drivers door right away like normal minded ppl would do.....

just come back to this thread after a few hours: no its not because you would be getting it for free.
It is more like buying a drivers door and not actually owning a boot door or side door
surely?!
Don't you understand?? In the uk you can have a pay as you go contract and then pay extra for 3g when you use it, so instinct would suggest you could effetcivel climb into your car through the boot and into the drivers seat!!! to use the pay as you go 3g (for free) through tethering(eg the metaphorical boot ) and use the wifi receiver of the phone to use it!!! (eg the metaphorical drivers seat )
...
.. .
But anyway I understood from before that the phone can't receive that own signal. Although now Im questioning either the other persons understanding or your ignorance So what Im now saying is 'yes its useful'. But does it work in the uk where the tethering is just the same usage of the data plan eg 5GB????
Im sure I could ask 3 for unlimted but tbh the people at their contact centre are umbelievably annoying. Id prefer to use this way of tethering as it'd give me an excuse to put effort into rooting my device anyway

Strange logic indeed... Pretty sure the car would have blown up and you'd be in hospital!

Tether uses data from the phone. If you have no data plan, you cant tether full stop.

suppose someone must do in the uk??? then it would work right? presuming the tethering is alos in the payg form and not monthly eg bolt on to a payg plan.

giffgaff allow tethering from payg but you wil lbe paying a hell of alot of money to tether on a non contract tarriff
you cannot tether if you do not have the creit on payg or a contract that gives you data each month
what exactly are you trying to achive ? internet on your laptop for free from a mobile connection and dropping a home broadband connection?

You cannot resend a tethered signal from a phone back to itself as the tethering itself uses the phone's WIFI module, and as such cannot connect to the WIFI hotspot since the phone has no additional WIFI modules. So what you're asking for is literally impossible under normal circumstances.
Also, am I right in understanding that what you're asking for is bordering on fraud/theft of services?

You should pay the additional $30 if you want to WiFi Tether. (or switch to Sprint). Don't be cheats. Rooting and installing custom ROMs isn't illegal, it just voids your ability to call in for phone support...WiFi Tethering without a plan is against the TOS. Nobody should be encouraging others, or instructing them on how to violate the TOS. XDA mods really need crack down on threads like this. If you pay for the feature it will work without you having to do any workarounds.

I use it in cases when there is no wifi and we need a real computer, people already pay upwards fo 100 dollars for one line. You pay for the data you should use it as you want. Plus the original android had wifi tether built in for free.

You got that right! I pay upwards of $350.00 a month for 3 lines with unlimited data. What part of "UNLIMITED DATA" does verizon not get? I will continue to hack my phone until it can no longer be done !

Thank you I pay out but for my phone I should be able to do what I want with it besides it's not like they aren't making a killing off me and now they want to make more I work very hard for the little bit of money I get after all my bills are paid I have 60 dollars a week to live off of and that is not including food and I get no food stamps or anything so believe me when I say

Paying for tethering is simply not possible on a ROM that doesn't have moto/vzw apps built in, either. Nobody would possibly pay for something that they can't use due to it not existing

Haha! You tell em.
I don't know about you but I'm tired of paying nearly 200 buck for 2 smart phones that I can't do anything I want with. If I have the capabilities and the know how, then I see no harm. I think you should save your opinion or start your own thread called the "Android Police." I'm personally here to give help where help is needed if I can.
I also personally see no problems using my phone as a wireless tether because the 4GB data plan I have that I pay 30 bucks for each line runs out so quick each month I feel I either have to be rich or be a drug dealer to be able to afford the plan I need to get the most out of my phone.
PS. I think this post is a great candidate for a dislike or thumbs down button.

You should pay the additional $30 if you want to WiFi Tether. (or switch to Sprint). Don't be cheats. Rooting and installing custom ROMs isn't illegal, it just voids your ability to call in for phone support...WiFi Tethering without a plan is against the TOS.

Haha I thumbs upped you.
I was personally with sprint for 10 years before switching to Verizon. I was tired of paying more than 2 grand a year with sprint and couldn't even get good data signal at home or work. Then they made me pay to get out even though I didn't get good service to begin with. Verizon's 3g and 4g run circles around sprint.

WiFi tethering is part of AOSP Android, bud. The carriers (at least in the US) remove this feature and include their own hotspot for a fee. Installing the SQL hack is technically against the TOS, since in that case you are using their service, they just don't know - but when you use an app that does *not* use their service, but rather Android's built-in capabilities, then you are doing nothing wrong.
