been using this usb tether app for a couple of days now, its pretty nice. Easy to setup, battery (3500) stays nice and cool no heat issues, actually charges instead of slowly dropping like with wifi tether (connected to comp for charge), and seems a lil snappier than PDA NET.
dose not require ROOT SU
available in market.
Modaco 2.0 green
GK .31 OC
But not 64bit compatable yet.
true. i might try it anyways on my 64 bit system
I run 2.1, and Mobile Network Sharing works on it, so I've just been using it.

have you been over to that thread today? toast got multi touch working and open gl last night!
I heard. Not too excited about either though. I mostly just use my phone for web browsing, calling, texting, tethering, and playing games.
Why couldn't have this been posted in the other thread about easytether?
my bad i searched "easy tether" not "easytether"
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!

Lame answer. Use Wireless Tether 3.1. Make sure to use the Samsung Galaxy S device profile under settings.

I recently discovered opengarden wifi tether. Search market for opengarden and its the first app you see. Works great on my nook, laptop and wii. Broadcasts in AP mode.

+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've used barnacle for almosta year on my D1 and it worked great. I even changed the ssid to virus hahaha lol never had anyone they to connect either lol. I am going to try to root this charge this weekend when I get home as I'm a trucker. So mad they stopped the free hotspot.
I use wireless tether for root 3.1 beta 1. For device profile I use Samsung fascinate for infrastructure mode.

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.

Hey guys. Found this the other day.. Download Hotspot Widget by Harold muller.. Add it to your home page.. This will turn on the official Verizon Hotspot even if you aren't subscribed to a tethering package. No root required... HAPPY TETHERING!!!
Will Verizon be able to tell that we are using tethering service?

Verizon is apparently "cracking down" on illegal tethering and automatically putting you on a 2gb plan. I think using their official app only makes it works.

Have heard substantial people say Verizon is cracking down, but few if any have actually had it happen to them. And as far as tracking, I believe there is something in GB that allows them to see if were tethering or not. By analyzing the packets or something

The problem with this is, if you lose that unlimited data plan you will never get it back.
I tether also (I use the free wireless tether) to tether my ipad2 occasionally, but I try to use as little data as possible when doing that. I would be seriously p!ssed if I lost my unlimited 4G dataplan.....(I was grandfathered in from my DroidX and old Windows phones)

ya i'd stay on the safe side and use something like pdanet. you can use it through usb or bluetooth on mac or pc, and it works great! definitely a lot safer option than using verizon's app

This did not work for me. Anyone else tested?
This did not work for me either. Running gummycharged GBE 2, latest one. It just kind of clicks and stays toggled off. This did work for the original ROM installed on the phone when I first got it but I believe they probably fixed it at some point with EE4 or later.
I use the free apps and the Verizon app because I have the unlimited tether plan that I got for $30 a month on top of my unlimited data plan

Just found out today the hard way, it only works with froyo..
Tested this option and it works. The bad news is that after about an hour of blazing fast 15+ mbps my speeds dropped suddenly. I believe this lead to being severely throttled. From that point on the past two days my data speeds have hovered at 2 mbps. Did tests form various locations with a strong signal, still seeing 2 mbps. The speed test app will ramp up past 10 mbps and then rapidly drop off like a dead signal and then bounce back to around 2 megs. Tried rebooting and removing the app but still have not experienced my previous 4G 15+ mbps speeds. So I have a feeling this is not a good option to use. Use at your own risk.
Use this Method On your Rooted Atrix 2 to get the built in wifi Hot spot Feature working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160452
line 148 it should say entitlement check On the Atrix 2
others have reported changing the entitlement_check line to 0 instead of " disabled " to get it working
For some reason, I could not get the internet connection? I will keep trying.
Works flawlessly.

Yes, I did many time. I also used wireless tether and still have a same problem. The client could not get an IP assigned from A2. Same with USB tether.

Hmm, same result here. What security did you have enabled? I had WPA2 or whatever the option was. I tried changing it to open, but it got stuck trying to disable. Playing with it now, will report back.
EDIT: Hmm, no joy. It connects but it won't give an IP address to a client. I tried, the builtin mobile hotspot, and Android Wireless Tether from the market with no luck. I did manage to get it to assign an IP to my macbook using Bluetooth PAN, but it wouldn't allow any browsing. Ipad won't get an IP either. There has to be a fix for it, but it's dinner time! I'll play with it more later.
i never used security i changed mine to open
i just connected my wifes htc status to my hotspot and it worked great
Just a heads up, PDA net will throw a flag up to AT&T and they can detect that you are tethering. Just a FYI in case u aren't paying for the tethering plan and if you're on a unlimited plan they have been threatening about taking your unlimited plan away and putting you automatically on a tethering plan.
They were doing this to a lot if the OG owners and I got my text and letter from them also while I was doing it on my OG
I have never used pda net or any other app to tether since froyo came out with it built in and i have never once been served by att for tethering i also dont go bananas when tethering either but i have unlimited data and i have been tethering over 2 years now and nothing so much as a peep from att
awesome! Working nicely for me! Thanks for making this phone kick more ass everyday.
Well when I got the text I quickly replied with a phone call. After 30 mins of arguing with them I just give up. I regularly use between 5-7 gb a month n don't want to take the risk of them dropping me to 4gb tethering plan and paying for every gb i go over 4.

Well, I search around and found 1 thread that mentioned about the conflict of dhcp and other apps. The conflict app that was mentioned is not in my list so I started to uninstall all apps that use wifi, reboot and it fixed my problem. Now I am in the process of reinstall the apps back starting from the safe one first (most popular)

I am going to retract my statement, mine does not work. My IPad just sits there and tries to connect to it. Mobile AP can connect the Ipad to my Atrix 2 but it does not direct it out to the internet.
HMM well i know in the system\apps there is a apk called entitlement.apk i have deleted it in mine ONLY AFTER MAKING A BACKUP OF IT and then the mobile ap would not even turn on it did nothing when i tried to activate it so i have restored it i am gonna try some more things tonight and see

You may want to look at my post above to @bimmer. There may be some conflict between your apps and the tether DHCP. I have the same problem of getting the IP (it should start with 192.168.). You should check to see which IP that you iPad gets. If it starts with 169 then DHCP is not working.

rooting a friends phone:
Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.
You've conflated a couple questions here.
"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"
Most, if not all, do.
"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"
Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.

Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.
For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.

that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it.

It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.
I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.
I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.
(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)
T-Mobile is on a roll!
Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.
They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.
So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.

So using just the VPN client still blocked you??
Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.

Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.

I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.
Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.
