The stock one that comes with your phone. Or you can use clock work mod tether but you need a USB cable for that.

Pdanet works great for usb tethering. Free too. But you need paid version to access secure sites. I used it for a long time before I rooted and setup my wifi hotspot.

Crap I really don't wont to root

PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, ClockworkMod Tether, Proxoid, AziLink
As stated above, there's PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, and ClockworkMod Tether. You have to pay for the full version of all three, but none of them require rooting.
The two free ones that I know of are Proxoid and AziLink. Proxoid's easier to install, but I think AziLink works better (at least that was the case when I tried it a long time ago). It looks like development for both of them ended a couple years ago. Here's Proxoid's page:
code.google.com/p/proxoid/
As the name says, it works like a proxy, so I'm guessing that some things wouldn't work well on it.
And AziLink's page:
code.google.com/p/azilink/
Windows 7 instructions (probably works for Vista and XP too):

Linux (Fedora) instructions:

Linux (Ubuntu) instructions:
pullmonkey.com/2011/11/15/azilink-is-working-again/
blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=238
I'll admit it, installing AziLink is pretty intimidating; it's all through Terminal (or Command Prompt in Windows). But I managed to do it back in my early Linux days (not that long ago, actually ). The worst thing you can do is kill your phone and computer. If that happens, I always like to resort to duct tape.
I tried for a while to stay away from rooting my phone because I was afraid I was going to brick it. But then I finally rooted it, and I've never once regretted it.

what type of phone do you have? It should be already installed on your phone. On the Nexus it is in the more section. Or a custom ROM could give you a toggle. On my Bionic, Epic 4 G Touch, and Rezound they all had built in apps also, no root required.

Help on tether and root?

Hey everyone. I'm from the EVO forums, so please bear with me. My uncle has a charge and wants the tether app free. Can someone point me in the direction of how I would do this? Thanks.

Alright, so apperently you guys don't have root and you flash everything through odin, is that right?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Oh we have Root, we flash CWM through Odin and use CWM itself to flash our kernels/ROMs. There are plenty of wireless and wired tethering methods. For wired you can use EasyTether(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mstream.easytether_polyclef&feature=related_apps) although it's a little pricy. For wireless you can use Open Garden(https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether&feature=search_result) it's pretty much a clone of Wireless Tether for Root Users, but that got removed.
As for rooting your phone, I can guarantee you if you follow this (noob-proofed) guide you will have your phone rooted, overclocked, lagfixed, ROMd, modded and whatever you may want to do very easily! After all it's what helped me get root on the first day of owning my Charge(and I've never owned a smartphone before it)

Thank you so much. Odin threw me off because we don't use it on the EVO. I will thank when I get home.

Lol if you're going to thank anyone be sure to thank chadness for the incredibly easy to follow guide!
Ok, so I got him setup. Now what if he goes to a Verizon store and needs some help. How do I get him back to a stock setup?
You're just going to flash the stock ED2 file(http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?481-LEAK-STOCK-ED2-Droid-Charge-FULL-ODIN!) then boot the phone up. It will say an OTA update is available and that will automatically update you back to stock EE4, that's all there is to it!
edit: Make sure to disable lagfix before doing so.
Barnacle used to work on my Charge but now I get an error message on startup:
NAT:Could not set MTU of pdpbr1:
Invalid argument
I deleted/reinstalled it. I even cleared the data but it won't work anymore. Is Wifi Tether a better app?
Never tried barnacle but I guess for wireless Open Garden works, I'm not too sure because I can't connect to the dam app with my Wii/PSP/NDS. My computer connected to it fine(with pages going quite slow)but it took a while for it to connect, longer then it does to connect to my router. It's weird that it's so slow when we have 4g that is faster then most of our home connections.
Well Barnicle used to work before the free tethering was over July 7. But now it's not working and giving me that message. Maybe it has to do with the free tethering permissions. I have no idea.

LG MyTouch Q

I know this is a brand new phone and this isn't the correct forum, but one doesn't exist for this specific model.
So I realize no customized roms, but I'm looking for a way to enable WiFi tethering.
My wife has this phone. I have the Galaxy S 4g (no CM for me sadly). My stock image allows Mobile WIFI tethering.
Hers Does also, but it brings me to a T-Mobile screen on the device tethered asking to pay $15/month for it, whereas with mine it just works.
Is there another application I can get for this to work?
Do a search in the market for wifi tethering; barnacle seems to run well (for all android phones).

A google or meta search engine search wouldn't hurt as well.
Off hand pda net should work as well. I bought the pro version for my g1 worked like a charm.

Don't those apps require root?

you can also change your user agent string on your computer to match the one on your phone. That is what I had to do, and then it will take you to some mobile versions of websites, but that is no big deal for most. At the bottom of most websites you can choose mobile or classic view.

It does require paying and a driver installed on each computer you're tethering to. It uses USB.
or you could just change your user agent string like I have said.
i helped my friend set hers up and i tried the quick fix by downloading quick settings in the market.... and then you can check the settings and unlock the hidden mobile tethering option. I wasnt able to get a solid connection at the time, but i didnt reboot the phone or toggle airplane. it showed up and my computer saw the connection, but no go. Im purchasing the phones in a few days and i will try to do the onetouch root, and i'll let you know how that goes

Use native tethering - all third-party tethering uses adhoc mode which doesn't play nice with a lot of devices.
You may need to freeze/uninstall TetheringManager2.apk - I forget if this was needed on Infuse. It was needed on the I777.
FoxFi is free on Android Market. I was using it for wifi tethering, until I realized it is just using the native tether feature in settings. It's a good app, though, and not just adhoc like the others.
For native tethering in uclb3, I now just go to settings / wireless and network / tethering and portable hotspot / mobile AP settings.
Delete the tethering manager apk in /system/app, or freeze it using Titanium Backup. I don't think native tethering works without doing that, and that apk is the quickest, and easiest way for at&t to pick up on tether usage (in case you aren't paying for a tethering plan).

Sorry new to this so bear with me please. I went into titanium backup and there was no tethering manager apk or anything like it. Am I doing something wrong? i have firmwar 2.3.6 baseband I997uclb3 and kernal 2.6.35.7-I997ruxkg3-cl366622
If there was no tethering manager then it was probably already deleted in whatever rom you are running.
Do this..
Settings>Wireless> Tethering and Portable Hot Spot (or something like that... on ICS... can't remember exactly for gb. Then you pretty much just start tethering. And remember, if you are not on a plan then you risk getting caught.. so don't do it too much or it will be taking away.
Good luck.

[Q] How to tether without extra charges or root?

Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.
Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?
More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.
Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.
Foxfi from the market.

I have not. Does that need root? I assume it is a paid app. As long as the price is reasonable I don't mind. I'd prefer a free app though.

I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.
neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.

Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.
Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.
I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.

Yeah I realize FoxFi doesn't need root, but it won't connect with the tablet. I read somewhere it doesn't work well with Jelly Bean...
Not sure about JB but it works great on ICS and my VZW GSlll.

Yeah works fine on the phone itself, but the nexus 10 is on JB so there is my problem I think.
Also - I have proxy disabled.

Don't think that should matter. Let me test later and see if I can connect to my Galaxy Nexus on JB.
