Hello,
For those of us waiting for a root option on 5.1.1, I found a great app that works as hotspot for free.
FoxFi on playstore. Has a paid version as well.
Thought I'd share.

I recently changed from a tp2 to a mytouch..I wanted to know if there was an app that can do that when I connect it to the computer..any tips thanx
If I recall there were some tethering apps in the app store. Most probably require root.
Of course, if you're going to root the device, just go ahead and load Cyanogen's latest mod. It has tethering built in.

so in order to have the tethering app u would have to root it??
Dude, did you even bother to search the market? A quick search on the word "tether" returns multiple apps, some paid, some free, some require root, some don't. Take your pick.
I was just saying that if you DO go the root path and load an alternate ROM like Cyanogen's, tethering is built in.

Pdanet has an awesome tethering app. Theres also EasyTether which is 10 bucks but works great!
Im new to smartphones. I recently got a DroidX...now I'm hooked. But being new to the technology, I need some help. I don't want to pay Verizon any more money but could really use the 3G HotSpot for work. Ive done the research and want to root my phone...I hear z4root app is excellent!!! Its no longer available on the marketplace, so how do I download it from the web and get it onto my phone and functioning? Please all the info I can get will be usefull.
For the free hotspot, it depends on how u want it to run. (ad hoc or infrastructure mode). Infrastructure is the equivalent of a home wireless router. If you search google for "team black hat wireless hotspot hack" you should probably find what u are looking for.. This allows you to use the Verizon wireless hotspot app for free (disclaimer: this is theft and is technically stealing from verizon so I don't condone this. This is merely just info).
If u don't care about the original app, u can root the phone and search the market for wireless tether for root or barnacle tethering.
As for z4root, google the app, and then download it and use your computer to move it to your SD card. Then you can use a file explorer app (i use astro) to install the .apk file.

Thank you!!! My DroidX is now rooted! Thanks again for the help.
It looks like they (AT&T) removed the option to tether or use my phone as a hot spot! Can someone please help with finding another way around this. I need to use my phone as a modem. My Captivate has been rooted but I dont know wut to do now.
try EasyTether app. you can find it in the market
EasyTether is no longer on market!
I'm looking for the same thing for as close to free as possible. I tried downloading the file off google/android (i can't think if the exact file right nite) but for whatever reason it keeps saying I don't have permission when in reality I'm rooted and have rom manger but running stock everything . Any advise?!?

If you are rooted, most of the froyo roms have tethering and mobile internet access point with them
Maybe you could try market enabler from the market and make it think you have T-Mobile or something cause att blocks out mostly all tethering apps. I read that works although I have T-Mobile and haven't had anything blocked so I have not tested personally.

I have Andromeda 2.1 on my Captivate, and so far as I know, it doesn't have a tethering app preinstalled. I'm going to ask and find out, and a few other questions I have, as soon as I get to the 10 post limit! gah...
Anyway, before I installed Andromeda, I was running the stock ROM rooted with wifi tether from the google code page. The app would run, but I could not connect to it (though I was trying on my Tab). Comes to find out that the wifi tether app creates an ad-hoc network, with the Tab won't connect too. I need to get an AP app. Still working on that solution (though I haven't had much time to test it).
Paragon 5.1 ROM has tethering.

Well, as already said most custom roms have these options built in under Settings > Wireless & Network... But in lieu of flashing an entirely new ROM for one feature, you could simply download barnacle wifi from the market.
In the event that it's not in your market (hadn't heard of carriers being able to remove certain apps from the market) I'm sure you can find the apk (the extension of Android App Installers) via google.
So I'm looking for an app that allows free wireless tethering for android, on iOS I used to use an app called MyWi from Cydia, everything I've looked up so far for android either requires using a pc with n app like pdanet or doesn't work, I need an app that doesn't let my carrier see that I'm tethering. The way MyWi worked on iOS was, any device that connects would use the same IP address as the phone providing the hotspot and it worked great I used to be able to tether as much as I wanted w/o my hotspot data being used up please help.

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck
Can anyone tell me what tethering app actually works?. I've tried a few from the play store and none of them seem to work.
