So I currently own a Thunderbolt on Verizon as well as a wifi only galaxy tab and a wifi only xoom.
I also have a G2X on a 2 week trial. I was going to transfer me and my gf's phones over from Verizon.
I have my G2X rooted already and I have wireless tether installed. It works but my Xoom and my Galaxy tab won't recognize it. I'm assuming this is because it's running in ad-hoc mode and not infrastructure.
If this something that can be changed with kernal upgrade or custom roms or will this phone forever broadcast ad-hoc? This is pretty important to me as it's one of my primary purposes for switching to tmobile. (4g in my area vs none for verizon as well as battery life.)
all the 3 version is infrastructure mode the 2 version is in ad hoc. try it out should work not sure yet tho. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I feel like a tard now actually. I'm so used to having verizon I didn't realize that T-Mobile didn't take out the stock android mobile hotspot app.
Does anyone know if t-mobile makes you sign up for a tethering plan to use it? I was able to fire it up and connect both my Xoom and my galaxy tab just fine.. just don't want a suprise in my bill.

Just use it.
If you got error page, you simply add tethering option or just change browser agent (but I don't think you'll get in trouble if you tether with Android tablets).
As long as you have an unlimited data package youll be fine...they have a 2gig & 5gig. Once you go over those limits it will still work, just not as fast as before you went over the data cap. No issues with mine tho, my hotspot works fine with various devices

It's not an app, it's in the wireless network settings. Same place as wifi-bluetooth and all that. Just a check box to turn it on.
Funny story about the wireless tether for root users app.
So when I posted this that it will only work in ad-hoc mode, I found a workaround for my xoom to connect before I realized there was built in hotspot. The built in hotspot works great and it's infrastructure mode, but like my thunderbolt and droid x before it, won't stay connected in my office for some reason.
I tried the wireless tether program and low and behold it stays connected firmly in my office. Must be something about it being ad-hoc because all the infrastructure mode tethering methods I've tried will not stay connected in my office.. must be some intereference or something.
Have droid 2 rooted wireless tether will not connect to the internet. All other wireless tether aps barnnacle open garden and pda net connect but shoot me to the verizon pay site. Worked before gingerbread and I rerooted my phone please help.
i've been using the stock wireless tethering setting to use phone as a hotspot (without the tethering plan) for my Iconia and PS3 for when i have to pull a 24hr duty at work. was working ok this morning, but i had to reboot my phone and my Iconia cause they were both acting slow. after that when i try to tether it will connect but cant do anything that requires internet. anyone know what might be the problem (besides not having the tethering plan, although never had it in the past). thanks for the help.

You may have gone over your 2 or 5 gig cap and are being throttled.
You've probably been throttled. When you go over your limit, it's practically unusable.
Hey, I just gota Nexus 5 phone yesterday, and I was planning on using wifi tether to connect my old phone and my ps3 to the internet. I'm able to create a mobile hotspot using the Nexus 5 settings, however I get no internet traffic. My PS3 tells me the connection times out. And my phone fails to log in.
Does anyone know if MetroPCS allows wifi tether? And if they don't, is there any way to bypass it. I'm on the $50 plan right now.
So I bought the $5 Mobile Hotspot service. It worked for a bit, But my wifi tether still did not consistently work. I eventually disabled it because of the issues.
Does anyone know what you have to do to get Wifi Tether up and running fully on Nexus 5 with MetroPCS service?
I am using a Galaxy Grand Prime, Rooted on stock rom. Running Win 7 64bit
I am able to usb tether without being metered on METROPCS Unlimited data plan.
However I have tried to enable ICS for Xbox 360 and have had no success at all. I have also tried this using NAT32 and can never get it to connect to live.
I am downloading at 3mb/s so its def not my speed. HELP PLZZZZZ
