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.

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.
Hello everybody. I recently installed FoxFI for a relatives phone so they could tether over wireless. I am rooted so I do not use FoxFI but I had a question about it's setup. I have searched and searched and for the life of me I cannot find one post that fully explains why I had to install a VPN certificate and add a PIN/lock to my relatives phone. Part of me wonders if this VPN they use isn't used for some nefarious purpose? Does anyone have a reliable source stating HOW foxfi uses this VPN to allow tether? I thought that the FoxFi site would explain it but they seem to have been swallowed up by PDAnet and their knowledgebase is less than perfect. Thanks in advance.
Android 4.3 I bielive has tighter security and foxfi cannot create a new virtual network host so it must create a fake vpn connection to run the traffic through the app where as below android 4.3 it can just make a virtual network

Well that would make sense but my family member was running 4.2.1 and still needed the certificate?
OK so I need to route my tethered data through a VPN, it's not to steal data I don't care about that it's for security purposes. Anyway is there any way to do this I've read multiple articles on reconfiguring the iptables but that doesn't work, I used to use Wi-Fi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso but that doesn't do that anymore either. If anyone has any ideas please...
Thank You
Try adguard.. it's adblocking app that creates a local vpn for filtering advt data. Now you can activate mobile tethering and see how it goes. Hope this helps.

I can't find it anywhere this adguard. Is it in the Play Store>
I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for though I'm trying to connect to my VPN through something like OpenVPN and have all the data coming from the tether routed through there...
Adguard is banned on Plays tired for obvious reasons. It is available on their site. Google it and you should have their link. No harm trying it.
