There's a few, try pdanet. Google "june fabrics".
I use Barnacle, it works great
Why don't you use the stock htc app with the fixed APN (wap.cingular....) ?

If you are already rooted you can use a wifi tether app like Wireless Tether, you don't have to mess with PDA net (PDAnet is great if you are not rooted). I tried Barnacle but had trouble getting my Mac to join the adhoc network it creates. Rather than mess with it too much I put on Wireless Tether and it worked Great.

I can second Barnacle WiFi and also use the stock Mobile Hotspot.
If you are rooted you do not need any program for tether.

Use the referenced APN and you will have tethering available......
I second the wireless tether especially if you have your unlimited data still. Its stupid to pay for it twice

If rooted it also works to remove all entitlement apns from the APN database in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Do you think there will ever be a wifi app that does not require rooting. I had to downgrade back to pda.net. It works but I already miss the wifi app I used for years on WM 6.5.
I believe most custom roms allow tethering without adding it to your plan.
I asked about coredroid in another thread, and I got conflicting reports though.
If you are already rooted, just flash a custom ROM. then you don't need an app and you will also have a hotspot. My favorite is Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 but if you want to keep Sense UI, try Android Revolution HD or CoreDroid or some other Sense based ROM. And Congrats on your escape from under Steve Jobs's thumb =D

The APN method someone mentioned allows wifi tethering without root.
yes by changing the APN you can enable wifi tethering without root , ive done it many times on un-rooted phones ,just dont use it to much or it will be noticed and good ole at&t will add the package (not sure about other carriers)

why not use wifi to tether?
i would rather use tether because its a faster and doesn't eat through the battery as fast
Same here, I havent been able to get USB tethering to work but am able to wireless tether. I have all LG drivers installed but still no luck. If anyone knows how to USB tether let me know.
I would like to know this as well.
My g2x gets popup warnings that it's dangerously hot while wifi tethering for long periods of time.

Download the LG desktop app:
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/produc...=documents&targetPage=support-product-profile
It installs the proprietary USB drivers. I have them installed and my phone tethers via USB. If you check for updates in the LG app it'll display the drivers as a stand-alone download so you won't have to use the full app on multiple computers. The version of the USB drivers on the UK site are newer than the US which is why I used that link. The app is universal and will recognize your country, phone model, and S/W version.

]1) Make sure the LG proprietary windows drivers are loaded by installing the LG desktop app.
2) Plug your phone in to the PC via USB. About seven drivers should install on the PC.
3) On the phone screen, when the android asks "turn on USB storage," don't. Hit the home button.
3) Go to Settings>Wireless & network>Tethering
4) Select USB tethering (which will be greyed out if something above didn't work).
Good luck.

I got the LG desktop app as stated in the post above and it works flawlessly with USB tethering...thanks again for getting the link for the application

did you recently change plans? Does anyone know the answer to this question? T-Mobile switched me over to the 4G unlimited but I have been in the unlimited loyalty plan for 3 years. Do I now have a 2 gig cap since they switched me over to 4G?
Hey guys,
Now that Verizon's Mobile Hotspot promotion is done, what are you using to tether with your rooted Droid Charge? I am trying to use Barnacle but it keeps giving me errors.
Thanks!
Simple, Pay for the native app.

I currently don't tether, I was planning on using this; https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
but whenever I search for it on my Charge I can't seem to find it on the market place, and clicking the direct link just gives me an error. Hope someone has found a good wireless tether, going away for the weekend and could really use one!

+1for OpenGarden. I have been using it on my Thunderbolt for a weeks now and haven't seen any issues.
I loaded Barnacle and rooted my phone last night, so far so good. But I am going to also try Open Garden to see it it meets my need (see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158476 )
so just to clarify guys, if use this tethering program, it can help me save a few bucks comparedd to paing for verizon's optional tethering service? ;-)
I've tried both the tethering programs in this thread and neither are detected on my PSP/NDS, the app also doesn't ask or tell me the SSID or passphrase, anyone know a REAL wireless tethering app where you can make it act pretty much like a router..?

I have never found one, PSP/NDS probably have the same issue with connecting to Ad Hoc networks. I had to root tablet and edit a file to make it work with A500.
Open Garden seems to have a better pass through for speed, used Wireless Tether for quite some time with no issues.
I pay enough to Vz since I never go over 5G a month even with tethering I don't feel bad at all.

I hope this is an easy one, but it's puzzling me to no end on this phone.
Samsung Infuse- Rooted (of course) Running Bionix and the factory kernel.
I currently use either Barnacle or Wifi tether to tether to a laptop which has gone without a hitch in most cases (sometimes wifi manager gets in the way) but I am running into issues with other devices that I would like to connect with on the day to day basis with the same type of approach.
The problem is that my Infuse creates an Adhoc network instead of a normalish router gateway setup for the tether. This works just fine on a laptop, but when I try to apply this to other phones or tablets when I'm working in the field or just need a data connection really quick, I can't use my Infuse to do so as these devices usually do not support Adhoc networks.
The touchpad I have is my main concern at this time because in the case where I need to set up a phone without carrier data, I'm typically close to a Wifi spot of some kind. I can always use my personal phone, but because AT&T's network is a little faster in my area, I'd prefer to use it instead.
Does anyone know how to get a normal hotspot out of the infuse instead of an AdHoc?

Settings->Wireless and Networks-> Mobile AP.
If stock rooted, you need to freeze/remove tethermanager.apk
If running ANY custom ROM, these have already been removed. For Froyo, ignore the warnings in the Settings menu about tethering plans and just go ahead. For GB, it should have worked immediately if you weren't running a Hellraiser ROM.

Dense? How? I know information you don't. You clearly haven't even bothered to try the built-in tethering, otherwise you'd know that it does operate in AP mode. My Tab 10.1 does not support adhoc without hacks (which I have not performed as I have not needed to do so), yet it still has always happily connected to my Infuse whether the Infuse was running Infused 1.x, Infused 2.x, Cyanogenmod 7.1, and Mosaic VI (installed using Hellraiser Beta6)
See the attached screenshot from my laptop. Note the mode - MANAGED, not adhoc. And next time, think more and try doing some research before calling a kernel developer an idiot.

Rooted using stock wifi
I just rooted using super one click, too easy. I was frustrated because it looked Like I wasnt able to use my Infuse as a wifi hotspot even though I was able to download App Freezer and render the stock tether manager inert. If I had not read this thread I wouldn't have known to ignore the AT&T warning about having to pay extra money for the data I have already bought. Ignored that bull and am using my iPad now with the Infuse as a hotspot. Life is good again and THANK ALL the helpful posters here.

Mine tells me that I need a tethering plan and auto-disconnects itself. Anyway around this besides paying for one? I'll use maybe a few times a month to get emails is all. Not downloading etc.
UPDATE: I bought Bloatfreeze and froze the tether.apk file. Now it did connect, I renamed network and chose my own password etc. and it worked perfectly. SO, the question is...since I FROZE the tether.apk will that hide my usage and thus ATT will not be able to detect that I used any tethering and not charge me $$$ for doing so.? Sorry if this is so noob, but I am a noobie to all this, but hey in 2 hours I've rooted, froze apps etc. so not TOO bad ;-) and just double checking.....
Thanks all!
Please confirm my beliefs..just so I can be safe.

Could you detail the exact steps you took to remove tetheringmanager?
Root, open a root-enabled file explorer, and remove /system/app/tetheringmanager.apk. It doesn't hurt to reboot afterwards.

OR turn it off or "FREEZE" it with Bloatfreezer works too if you have it.
WIFI tethering works awesome!
Or do what nearly everyone who came here came to do - run an alternate ROM that removes the carrier bloatware and bigbrotherware for you.
Would not have needed to buy anything to take care of AT&T's bigbrotherware, easy enough to remount system as read/write and delete the APK manually.
and if you absolutely need something that will try and simulate Netd or Softap, use Wireless tether for root users. It's been around since before native tethering and is as good if not better in some circumstances (has MAC address control). Plus it is a good workaround for my current kernel as I'm working on updating. (using it right now as a matter of fact.)
