Hello All,
I saw that someone was able to pull the tmo tv app out of the new Mytouch ROM. Has anyone tried to get the hotspot app out of it too? If not, is there an app that can use your data servivce as a router? I already have PDA Net but i'm looking for something that doesn't require me to keep my G2 connected via usb cable.

search for Wired Tether for Root Users. I havent fully tested it but I think it works for G2 with Temp-Root (Visionary app)
edited: oops if you're looking for wireless tether, you can also use "Wireless Tether for Root Users".
There's also a thread in the G2 forums that explains how to use the built-in Froyo wireless tethering if you use a custom launcher.
thanks for the tips......i will check it out.

Could you teather your phone to the Transformer so as to get 3g service?
Would you need the keyboard to do this, since it has a full size USB?

I currently have a iPad 2 WiFi, it can tether just fine with my rooted EVO. I suppose the same will happen with the Transformer (still waiting for it).
I do not think the keyboard is needed... why anyway? I mean tether via WiFi

you can definitely tether you phone to your transformer...seems like bluetooth tether seems to be the best bet right now.
Get em paired and let the data flow!

Without having it right here in front of me....
First, your phone needs to have the wireless tether app.which means you most likly will need to be rooted. Go to the settings and switch it to the bluetooth tether rather than the wireless one. Make the device discoverable. Then go on your transformer and go to wireless & networks>bluetooth settings> check turn on bluetooth then scan for devices. It should find you phone, so select it. Once the devices are connected there should be an option on the transformer in the bluetooth settings that say something about using bluetooth data tether or something along those lines. Select that and you should be all set!
If you are still having issues let me know and i can do a more detailed (and accurate) walkthrough tonight when I get home.
Yes, you can use your phone if it provides the right sort of hot spot (infrastructure). I've tested my LG Optimus with the Transformer and it works fine. There are other tethering options if your phone does not have a hotspot, a program like PDA.net, using bluetooth (if your phone has a BT modem driver). What will not work is a program that turns your phone into an Ad Hoc hotspot, unless someone gets Ad Hoc working on the TF (should be possible, they have to change the supplicants file).
Don't know about bluetooth tethering, but my transformer connects to my android 2.2 HTC Desire wifi hotspot with no problems.
Password is stored, and it connects automatically when unconnected to my home wifi.
Mines working perfect with my g2.
Having troubles connecting to my Optimus S...

I wonder what are the steps. I have an HTC Hero (Sprint) on CM7 and it works fine through Bluetooth connection to WiFi-Tether.
On the contrary, my Optimus S (Sprint), i rooted it and then installed WiFi-Tether. Then I tried to tether it to my Asus (with the same settings on both sides) but I can't find the option "Tether" in the Bluetooth Settings. It just disappeared. I tried everything . Un-pairing, Changing some of the settings, Restarting both devices, everything...
So, is there something I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something? Is the "LG" name not good for the connection?
My galaxy s phone functions as a wireless hotspot so can be used by any device that has wifi ability, im not sure if this feature is specific to gakaxy s or an android feature
Funnily enough ive connected all sorts to it xbox, laptop, ipad etc
I've used the wifi hotspot built in to CM7 (infrastructure) in my car for my passengers to use my transformer with the day i took it out of the box. Haven't tried BT yet but any infrastructure type will work. I've noticed that if the app doesn't have the option to switch between infrastructure and ad-hoc, "tether" will refer to ad-hoc while "hotspot" will mean infrastructure. Good luck!
Dear all,
I just got the Nexus S 4G phone from Sprint, and already updated it to 2.3.5 due to the weak signal issue. I noticed that USB tethering is not working since the beginning (2.3.4). I went through Setting, Wireless & network setting, Tethering and portable hotspot, and USB tethering, then enble it. The computer showed that it was connected with the phone, just no internet connection. Could anyone help? Thanks a lot
The 2.3.5 update blocked free tethering.

Bigtoysrock,
Thank you very much for your help. I still have two questions.
1) is it the 2.3.5 problem only, or USB tethering is never working with Andriod? I am new to Android, and I didn't get the USB tethering working with 2.3.4 either.
2) I know if I root it, I will get the mobile hot spot working with 3G only. Will the root also give me the USB tethering?
Thanks a lot,
As far as I know 2.3.4 worked and not sure on the second question as I don't use the native app for tethering. I do know however that pdanet works for usb tethering. When you root it comes with the one click root package to give you the correct drivers. I would try it for you but I am not on the stock rom.

If you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery Peter Alfonso created a flashable zip the fixes native tethering in 2.3.5
I tested it with the wireless native app not the wired but should work for both

Thank you, Bigtoysrock and Jackslim. I will root it with Peter's method. I will report whether it works with USB tethering. People reported that they have wireless tethering working. However, nobody talks about USB tething,
I remember there's a way to usb tether your phone without the need of rooting using proxydroid
I did this when my EVO was replaced with a new one that was unrootable at the time
You can find proxydroid in the market for a free app and use their wiki for details on getting your computer setup

Jackslim, thank you. That post has a straight-forward tutorial.

Hi

So how can I use my airtel internet connection as a Wifi hotspot.
Please help.

Mind you even when you get it working, it will only be an edge connection using that phone in india. There are several apps on the marketplace that can enable tethering; pdanet, easy tether etc etc. Would be your first line to try out, beyond that I would just root and put a custom rom on there that does not have the ATT limitations on the phone, as you are not using att out there. but like i said, best case scenario is going to be a slow connection
Try using wifi hotspot apps. But depending on your carrier you might get a slow connection. Rooting is a great recommendation. I rooted mine and works better than ever

I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
