Did you buy full version? Worked fine for me. But rooted a few days after to run wireless tether for ipad. Oh you can check tether dot com I used them for BB. They have a beta for Android. Not sure if it has opened up.

what's the first thing you did with your Nexus S?

I just got my phone today. Still getting used to it. Not used to the keyboard at all!
First thing I did was get YouTube working then get stupid zombies
What did you do?
I came from HTC magic (sapphire) then to a Sony x10. So this is my 3rd generation device.
Is there any point to rooting this phone outside of customizing the ui or overclocking?

I got advanced task killer.

Rooting opens a lots of possibilities.
Like add or remove system apps
zip align
bootanimations
overclocking

Really? Why do people still use these? It is pointless.

The first thing I did with my Nexus S 4G was root it, install recovery, make a backup and start flashing Roms and Kernels.

Don't get me wrong. I understand there are benefits to rooting. But never have I seen a phone with less advantage of doing so. My x10 was loaded with garbage software that needed to have root access to remove. I shouldn't have too see boot animation often and am not a big believer in huge quadrant scores.
What exactly will zip align do for me?

fastboot oem unlock

Well, I left mine stock for like a few weeks. I then decided to root so that I could overclock it. Eventually I found myself flashing Cyanogenmod 7. I believe that half the fun of owning an android phone is flashing different ROMs.

I went right to the about screen in settings to my first android phone out the box with 2.3.4.. It took me three weeks to root the stock, flash a kernel and that reminds me I didn't create a back up smh. Okay time to power off and get to it.

unlock the bootloader, CWM, create a backup, then root the phone.

Smashed it against the wall.

I download all my apps and test how they work with the nexus s , then check all the apps working time like the camera apps, and I root a few weeks after (mainly for battery indicator )
I'll try cm7 and miui soon tho

Received and installed the OTA update to 2.3.4.

I rooted right away and restored my titanium backup from my old Desire, then I restored all my messages and call log, along with the alarms from MyBackup PRO. Then it felt "just like home".

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

Best non root tether

What's the best non rooted tether app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

[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.
