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?

does having the phone rooted prevent t mobile from blocking the built in tethering feature and allow us to use it without paying the 15$ a month fee and use it for free?
a friend of mines has a unrooted mytouch 4g and t mobile blocked off his built in tethering feature so he won't tether without paying the 15$ a month fee, so im just curious about this!
Use at your own risk. Worst I've heard happen is that tethering gets blocked until you add it to your plan. I've used it sparingly and had no issues or warnings.

I use it a lot...for browsing/email/attachments...no streaming/torrents or home use. Never a problem in the past 1.5 years
From my experience, root doesn't really matter. I have used my G2x to tether since I got it and before I rooted it without a problem. They didn't seem to hard code any checks for a tethering plan into the OS on this phone.
I use the feature all the time, but of course I have unlimited data. All you have to worry about is going over 5gb of data, or they'll throttle you, but you know... theres a quick FIX for that as well. ;D
so tethering is allowed on our device?
To be safe I installed the same WiFi tether I had on my old rooted Evo found here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?q=label:NexusOne
It says NexusOne but it works for any Android device. It's an APK for rooted devices. Enjoy!

I've used my NexusOne numerous times on business trips instead of paying for wifi access at hotels and airports. Never had a problem.
Now that I've got my G2x, the first thing I did was connected it to my laptop to test tethering. It worked fine. I used the built in feature, not an app. No block, no msg explaining I have to add a service. My advice, just hook it up and do it, in home, no traveling and it'll prove itself.

I've swapped out the build.prop file, but haven't gone over yet, so I can't confirm it works yet. From those that have, the popular consensus is, add the fix before going over, otherwise it won't work.

I've been using that on my Captivate for 7 or 8 months now, AT&T has never billed me. I'm not extravagant in my usage. The highest net data I've used is 4.5GB, but that's for both normal and tethered use. I've never been dinged.
I think if it becomes obvious, torrent or otherwise, then they may try to do something. But as far as I know, there is no way to distinguish the traffic of your phone from that of the connected devices.
My suggestion is try it for a small burst of data, note the time. Reboot your phone after. Then check your account online after a day or two and see whats listed under your data use.
You guys should try a custom apn similar to the captivate and atrix.

So, sorry, no go yet.

in titaniumbackp if you are rooted freeze ir uninstall "tetheringmanager0326.apk" should unlock it. you can also delete it from adb, rootexplorer, other root file managers as long as you mount read write in terminal emulator, or you can use terminal emulator.
i have a linux machine and use sshdroid to ssh into the phone. that's another way to do it if you get a windows application that handles ssh.

Have you tried to forget the connection on your laptop and then re-establish the connection with your phone?
I have been using wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk go into your settings and Change Device-Profile to "HTC Evo 4G" and also click the checkbox for "Routing fix" using those settings is what I have set for it to allow you to use Wifi Tether using an infrastructure connection instead of the ad-hoc connection it defaults to so it shows up to your computer just like any other access point would or the default wifi tether app on the phone that will cost money soon.
After installing the MR2 planejane ROM I was doing the de-bloat and came across an app called TetheringGuard2.1.0 or something like that. I think Verizon is really trying to screw people over. There are various articles around also stating that the Gingerbread update will have safeguards built in order to prevent people from using tethering applications. I simply removed this stupid app using Titanium Backup and Wireless Tether seems to be working just fine for now...

All,
Not sure if this has been discussed previously or not but if you would like to get wifi tethering working in infrastructure mode on the Charge follow the steps below. Some people are claiming that Verizon is monitoring 3rd party wifi tethering and will bill you for that usage. So use at your own risk.
1. Follow the steps here to root your Stock EE4 image to root. I chose not to install one of the ROMs yet and I am using imnut's PBJT non-OC voodoo kernel.
2. Once you have root (verified by the Superuser app appearing in your Applications). Install android-wifi-tether 3.1-beta2. This app can be found here (need to allow external sources).
3. Once installed open the Wireless Tether application and go to Settings. Change the device profile to "Samsung Fascinate" and you should be good to go from that point.
Happy tethering.
One thing I am uncertain of is this "hotspot_event_monitor" driver that is loaded. djp592 discusses a kernel mod here that removes this driver but I could not find an explanation of what it does exactly. Anyone know?

What is your source that VZ is NOT using their DPI boxes?
Oh wait, they do already, otherwise they would have the near-real-time data usage up on their website.
I would presume it's more the actual packet, as it would look much different between a DC and your laptop. There are many other methods that a DPI can use to figure it out. Also most wifi tethers are using nat, so mac address based makes no sense.

ok, then more to the point, has anyone actually had their data throttled or received charges on their bill?
No, and I Wi-Fi tethered moderately on my Droid 1 since its release date (first with wifi-tether and then Barnacle when it came out because I like Barnacle better), on Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread.
And now I still tether on my Droid Charge with Barnacle and we don't see any extra fees. Of course, I just switched to the Gingerbread leak, so we'll see what happens.

I would like to add that after step 3 I had to change the setup-method to softap for samsung (master) i think this step is important to tether with infrastructure. It works fine on GB 2.3.4 running humble 2.1
That must be a Gingerbread thing. I am running stock EE4 ROM and "Auto" worked just fine.
One thing I did run into is that after turning off tethering you need to may need to cycle the wifi adapter to be able to associate to a wifi network.

Can you elaborate why you think 2.0.7 works better? On the Charge 2.0.7 seems to only support ad-hoc tethering.
The reason I went down this path is not for tethering per-se but just to be able to create a WPA network between my phone and laptop. Ad-hoc networking only supports WEP.
I wonder how verizon is conducting the monitoring? Are they just looking for your wifi adapter going into master mode? Or actually looking for evidence of tethering (i.e. iptables, dnsmasq)?

I doubt this. It is highly unlikely the tethering app rebroadcasts PHY-layer information. Far more likely is it retransmits L7 information. It is acting as a router, after all.

I will just say what's in the public realm. Try somewhere like dslreports and see what people are saying. There are a lot of posts from people that sound like they are absolutely sure it's sandvine.
If that is true, and you know what they are capable of, you know that it's not anything "on the phone".
Thanks for this, was wondering what I had to do to get it running in infrastructure.
If Verizon slows me down or tries to charge me for tethering, I'm just going to sell the phone and pay the ETF. I got the phone new for REALLY cheap, so I could probably make enough from it to not only pay the ETF and cover the cost of the phone, but come out on top by 20 bucks or so.
i know that on my iphone which im usuing for sh*** and giggles, i have a hack that makes apn adjustments that mask the tethered usage so Verizon cant tell that im using the phone to tether. to them it just looks like normal browsing. is there not an adjustment like that for android?
i for one have been tether for free on my droids for years and never had any issues. but on the flip side i never used more than 5gb tethering either....

i know that on my iphone which im usuing for sh*** and giggles, i have a hack that makes apn adjustments that mask the tethered usage so Verizon cant tell that im using the phone to tether. to them it just looks like normal browsing. is there not an adjustment like that for android?

I would like to know this as well!
I recently updated from 2.0.1 which was reasonably reliable on my Charge to 3.1 beta6 and have had no issues. Connecting via the setup as described in this post and connecting via infrastructure with WPA2 encryption. Can't beat it.
I dont plan on rooting my phone. (If I dont have to)
My last Motorola and with Sprints standard dataplan worked just fine. (W\O tethering )
I am pretty sure tethering worked out of box, until the last update.
Any suggestions? Foxfi and pdanet not available from Amazon apps anymore. Is it blocked by Sprint?
Thanx

ClockworkMod Tether should work. The link to the apk is in the app description and the in-app purchase for the full version still works even if it is side-loaded.

your phone never worked out of the box as far as tethering unless you signed up for a tethering plan, there are multiple ways to aleviate this but I dont think you know or even want to try and attempt to do this I wont help you bwcaue theyre are multiple threads to do this, try some research instead of just wanting the answer dropped on your lap Ive had more complicated answers than this that i found help for just by reading thru all th random threads keep l
\ooking youll find the answer your looking for
Yes, Sprint blocked our ability to fownload PDANet and Foxfi from the Play Store etc, HOWEVER, you can still download them directly from the developer's websites, and you can still buy the Foxfi full version key from the Play Store.

I have never had success with either of these working on the Photon Q. FoxFi worked on the Epic 4G, but not this device., even when downloaded from their site and installed.

When I was on the stock ROM, I used a 'wifi tether' app from the Play Store....
I think it did require root, however, there's a ton of apps on the Play Store you can try out.
Good luck.

Same experience here, however PDANet does work on the Q when you tether with a USB cable. I've yet to get the WiFi tether to work either.

Strange, I'm rooted on stock and purchased the FoxFi key...doesn't seem to work. Guess I'll mess around with it a bit...then again, I'm running a whacked system, system.img is ASA 36-86 first release and ALL the rest is ASA 14-15. Whacked...!

Clockworkmod tether does work and for those who dont know the usb tether speeds are faster than wifi tether, I purchased the full version and have been very happy also rooted and unlocked for the wifi tether I will say that the wifi tether is more stable/ consistent than the usb tether as the usb tether tends to cut out sporadically
PDAnet does work with this phone, I used to use it all the time.
