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!

Wireless Hotspot

Has anyone got Wireless hotspot working on the Vivid? I've tried a few wireless tether apps and nothing works. The best I can get is to start tethering, but the connected device can't actually access the internet.
I am trying to tether an iPad so USB tether is not an option.
I am running stock ROM, rooted. I am open to other ROMs if that's what it takes.

Do not think the wireless tethering works on the stock rom. You will need a custom rom IIRC.

Thought so...can you reccomend one?

I used the stock Wireless Hotspot app in HoliRaider and it works perfectly. The only thing is you won't get LTE speeds unless you tether via usb.

Lost wireless tether

I am on mav rom 3.5 and have used the wireless tethering from day one with this rom. I just tried to tether and much to my surprise I got the Verizon screen about not being setup to tether. I have since flashed back to stock and reflashed my Rom but still no luck tethering. Has anyone else had this happen?
Have not defined the radio hack yet but it was working without the hack before.

I discovered the same thing recently. Verizion redirects connection.

Did the radio hack back to having wireless tethering.

Untraceable Unlimited LTE Tethering

Hello guys,
I just want to share with you guys or at least to the people that Tether mobile data to other devices like tablet, pc, laptop and/or other mobiles there is an app that works like charm. After weeks trying to successfully tether from my data plan I was getting all negative results. I even paid for the premium app Tether from CMW and that didnt worked for me at all until finally find FoxFi app. Works so great that I bought the keys to unlock the free version to premium and is amazing. I get speed on my PC from 13mb to 16mb download and 10-12mb upload.

I was able to get tethering to work on my current rom last weekend. It was the first time I used it, but it worked just fine from the AHD to my Nexus 10. The biggest problem was that it sucked the data like crazy. I suppose I should have turned off background data on the nexus while doing this, but I didn't think it would make a big difference.
What is the benefit of this app if your tethering already works?

I have unlimited lte/4g data with tmo but this plan doesn't include tethering. Is something great for me because they can't trace me sucking their data from my PC something that I have sucked over 20gigs of data from my PC. I can tether from most of the ROMs but only to phone and tablets not PC or laptops.

PSA 4.3 OTA breaks wifi tether

Wifi tether will no longer start up if you apply the 4.3 OTA. If anyone relies on wifi tether just be warned
I have tried the other tether options available and so far no luck with any of them. If you have tethering as part of your plan or use a custom rom you are most likely ok but stock rooted 4.3 seems to be broken at the moment
any ideas?

You have tethering on your plan?

People still do this?

no, per my previous post if you have tethering as part of your plan you should be fine, I usually tether about twice a year and used the wifi tether app in the past but its not working with 4.3 as of yet

well I supposed I could just pretend my laptop was on the internet when away from a network.. but that wouldn't do much good would it?

Uh. Oh well.....Sound like they fixed that loophole.

I just figured with the advancements in smartphones, there's less of a need to carry a laptop with you away from a network.
And there's WiFi just about everywhere now.

Dude there's an app for that. I'd never pay to tether my crap 3G. ROOOOOT home slice!

This includes using the wireless tether app?

Wifi tether only works if you are rooted. So if you took the OTA 4.3 update, you are not rooted anymore and Wifi tether will not work.

I can confirm that this is accurate. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app and it doesn't work; it stalls starting up. Other rooted apps that I have are working. I guess I'll just wait for an update.

It's only a matter of time before somebody has it working again. They keep trying though.

I am running stock with goodies 2.01 and tethering is borked and yes it's a custom app not the built in one

Has anyone tried the various versions of Wifi Tether?
3.4 experimental 1
3.3 b2
1.6

I tried a few other device profiles and I am able to get Ad-hoc mode but not Infrastructure-mode. My laptop will connect but my tablet doesn't find it.

WiFi and USB theter do not work
Hello
WiFi and USB theter do not work any longer.
My stock device had WiFi and USB theter working before with the onboard tools out of the box.
After this update both stop working.
I can connect to the device but it will not pass me throug to the internet.
PDAnet (which I still own from the past) is working as USB theter.
Hope there will be a fix out soon as this looks like an error.

I still can't do my school work from my phone. I'm about to take a 12 hour drive so WiFi isn't an option. In comes the tether option. So yes...people still do this. There are still reasons for tether.
