What's the best way to tether without getting "caught"? Is it safer to use an app (FoxFi for example) or can I do it right from the settings menu? https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2812516
I've read that it's hardest tell when your tethering through Bluetooth, is this true?

I didn't know whether to put this in the "Android Software Development" forum or this one but does anyone know of an app that can preform reverse tether (with the help of tweaking the computers network) via USB and at the same time tether via WiFi.
ie: The phone will use the computer's internet via USB and then allow other devices to connect to the phone via WiFi and use the original computers internet. Basically turning the phone into a mini-router.
I don't know if this would even be possible. Seems like there would be a lot of data clutter. But I have seen apps out there that can preform reverse tether via WiFi on an ad hoc network.
I assume that if I can get at least the USB reverse tethering to work. I'd be able to use Froyo's built in WiFi tethering also assuming it uses the computers network and not default to 3G.
And the reason for even needing this app?
Is because 20Mbs > 3Mbs.

A Wireless G Router can be had for less than $20.00 - You can probably find a friend with an old one to give to you.

Im running a Miui rom, and heres what i wanna accomplish. i have the hotspot option available built into my rom, but no pass through option. that is, the ability to tether my phone to my laptop via usb and use its internet connection. so my first question is, is there an app that has this ability? second, is it possible to tether to my pcs connection, then extend that connection with my hotspot option?
Download pdanet. Google June fabrics.

Hi guys, I have some tethering doubts that I'd like to share with you, since I'm about to get my ChaCha tomorrow.
Here in Brazil there are plans for unlimited data, but in a low speed, which is good for me because I'm not living in my home (I'm in a different city for a year) and I don't have internet here, so everyday I use tethering to access e-mail and other websites using my laptop.
Tethering is vital for me.
I know a few apps that do Wi-Fi Tethering (root needed) which ask for a kernel that has a specific functionality. Can ChaCha do Wi-Fi tethering normally?
What about USB Tethering? Anyone tried that and is it working properly? Which app do you use? And is it needed to be root to do USB Tethering? (because probably my ChaCha will be S-ON and it will take long for me to get a XTC Clip).
both function is build in & work well for me...
built-in you say that HTC ChaCha is already prepared to tether out of the box, without any external app and/or modifications?

HTC Sense has USB tethering included. I have used it when I bought the phone (as far as I can remember). When you'll connect the phone via USB cable a screen will show, just scroll at the bottom and you will see it.
I presume that WiFi also.
I use Wi-Fi tethering every day and its working great. No problems at all, no need for 3rd part apps.
if you do not like the stock app have a go of this:

in my opinion the best wifi tethering app out there (needs root!)
Thanks for the help, guys. I already got my ChaCha and I'm using the bult-in wi-fi tethering. Not complains at all

Hi Spiked,
Are you using a Wifi-only Xoom (MZ-604) and trying to connect it to the cell phone 4g network?
If so you need to enable tethering on the blaze (Wifi Hotspot). This is normally found in Settings > Wireless and Networks > More settings. After you set up the hotspot, and enable it, it should become available on the Xoom in the list of Wifi networks you can join.
Wifi hotspot has been a built in feature of Android since 2.2 Froyo, although it took a while for the hardware to catch up. Mobile Carriers tend to remove the functionality with their custom skins, so they can charge you for the feature.
If the above solution doesn't work maybe you can try this app?
WiFi Tether for Root Users, available from the Play Store. It won't let me post because I don't have 10 replies yet...sorry.
Hope this helps.
Okay, so, I have a DS lite and have just got a load of Pokémon games and I want to use the WiFi features on it... Problem is, I have a WPA router and I don't want to change it too a WEP state as I would rather my network be secure... So another way would be to tether my phone to my DS, but it requires a data plan, so does anyone know an app that allows you to use a rooted phone to tether from WiFi?
