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!

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.

Wifi hotspot

My phone is rooted but bootloader is unlock able as its a T-Mobile Sony xperia z. Is there anyway that I can use a wifi tether app to take advantage of my unlimited data? I haven't been able to find one with the right settings. Thanks

Do you want to use your mobile phone as an WiFi hotspot ?
Just open settings -> More... -> tethering & portable hotspot (german: Anbindung & mobiler Hotspot)

Yeah I know about that. The only thing is if I use it like that T-Mobile only gives me 2.5 gigs of lte. I wanted to know if there was a way I could take advantage of my unlimited data plan as a wifi hotspot.

Hmmm, think you'll have to talk to T-Mobile support. I thought if you ave LTE flat you also can use it with other devices via WiFi Tethering.

WiFi Hot Spot.

Since I didn't see a thread about this wanted to start it. Has anybody successfully gotten WiFi Hotspot after rooting? Found a thread in the Sprint S5 forums about it here, don't know if we could use this same method.

Install Xposed Framework and download a module named X Tether. It will allow the native wifi tether to function.

Works like a charm with att unlimited plan. Make sure you restart after installing x tether. THANKS!

So X Tether can provide a mobile Hotspot or is it for "tethering"? If it's for tethering I already use clockworkmod tether for that.
EDIT: Got it working, thanks for all the help everybody. Now I wonder if we can get a Mobile Hotspot indicator in the notifications bar. Guess I need to follow the thread I posted and I'll let you guys know how it goes. Leaving this thread open for now if anybody needs future help with this.

If you want a "cleaner" method that goes through the default Mobile Hotspot, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310850. Works for me and I'm on a non-AT&T SIM.

If anybody is interested in the wifi Hotspot toggle in their notifications menu, follow the link I posted.

LMY48I broken Hotspot?

Well prior to the new update, my Hotspot worked fine, now it no longer shows on devices or if it does it's a painful time to get it to connect and if it happens to connect, it doesn't work anymore. Anyone run into this or know of any solutions?

Who is you carrier? Is tethering in your plan? Have you tried adding this line to your build prop? net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Add that line to the end, save and reboot. Works well with vzw

Yup, you're right. I just checked. FWIW, AT&T with a family share plan which includes tethering. Unrooted 48I.
I did check USB tethering, and that does work.

Already been doing that since 5.0 with sql edits and all, this update broke it along with a few Bluetooth issues. Now I have sprint and it's weird, when I'm on b25 or b26 it works fine, but when I'm on b41,thats when it breaks

Just gonna give this a healthy bump, just to see if anyone has figured anything out, I've tried everything from erasing the tether add-ons to re-adding them but I still get nothing when it comes to b41 but b25 and 26 work okay.

Mod please close or leave for others benefit, a cache clear with twrp fixed the Hotspot and Bluetooth issues I was having
UPDATE
Still broken....

Same issue here- Hotspot no longer works on ATT, rooted and using net.tethering work around. Any ideas?
