tethering market apps on ATT ? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a tethering app i sideloaded and have been using for a while nicely. Out of curiosity though i look again through the market to see what tethering apps are out and about. now EVERY one of them says not compatible with my "att" nexus s.
Does anyone know if they are TRULY not compatible or is it more a disclaimer they are putting on the app since att doesnt allow tethering?
I am on stock rooted 2.3.4

At&t got google to block tethering app for they're networks phones.side load

If your rooted, market enabler and spoof a provider that does allow tethering.

Remove sim and connect via wifi. Then it will show up in market

How can I install APK apps without rooting?

I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and bought a Samsung Infuse.
It seems AT&T removed the option of non-market APK apps install even if T-Mobile still allow to install it.
Can anybody tell me how to install non-market APK apps into Samsung Infuse without rooting?
Settings > applications > check unknown sources
What apk is that for T-Mobile apk only, I want that T-Mobile app that you can call 5 number without spending your minutes, share it wahahaha. I know its not an app lol

the infuse is the first att branded phone that has the ability to sideload apps out of the box. you can install your apk no problem. you may need astro, to get to the apk or to enable browser downloading of it.

It's called "A-list" should be included in your plan. Depending on your plan

A-list is pointless now. My plan allows for unlimited mobile to any mobile on any network. So basically my plan minutes are only for landlines and of course they rollover.
But about T-Mobile, it would be nice to have a WIFI calling app on AT&T.

How can I make my phone think it's on a specific WiFi network?

I want to be able to use the verizon fios mobile remote while I'm not at home. To use it, you have to be on the same wifi network as the tv. I want to mess with the tv while I'm not at home. Would there be any way to make my phone think I'm in the wifi network at home while I'm actually on mobile data?

You could probably setup a VPN to connect your phone to the home network from anywhere you have internet access

What would i need to setup a VPN?

Afaik if your router can run ddwrt you can setup openvpn on it. You would also need to install openvpn on your phone though which requires root

Yeah my phone is rooted, but how hard would it be to install openVPN on the router?

[Q] Wifi Tethering?

Well, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile UNrooted. And I was wondering, do I have to root to wifi tether? I heard that you need to root for a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S, but what about:
Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile (Not Rooted)
wifi tether as in mobile hotspot? nope, you should be able to do it without root ^_^
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Alright, I'll try it.
T-mobile can add wireless hotspot to your phone for an extra $15/month. You could also tether with USB cable via pdanet. Those options would not require root.

A program that you may want to look into is open garden. Its fee in the market. It will turn you're phone into a wireless hotspot. You're phone does need to be rooted in order to use the program

Unlimited 4g workaround

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?

Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.

I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract

so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.
