I think this app has a problem specifically with Samsung Epic 4G for some reason. I remember I used it on HTC Evo 4G and it worked like a charm, but it doesn't work with my Epic 4G. They even blogged it on a developer's site. Do you know if there are any other good tethering apps that might work on Epic 4G? . I'm on rooted (thanks to you!) Epic 4G, gingerbread 2.3.6. Thank you.

TechZpert commented on 19 Mar 2012

@CheeseSwaqq Sorry for the delay. It was a weird error that was occurring that was happening with yours and you can try one of two options: 1) Uninstall the APK and reinstall it with the same method in the video 2) OR Try using these two other programs (they can be downloaded straight from the market) Barnacle or OpenGarden. Please let me know if that works. Thanks!

Shipwright1918 commented on 25 Mar 2013

Excuse me, but do you know how I could tether a Kyocera Hydro? I'd like to be buy one soon, and I need to have a boost phone that I can tether to my computer to act as a modem, and I'm not sure this would work for it. I'm on a budget, so I can't afford a really fancy phone, and I'd like to stick with boost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TechZpert commented on 10 Mar 2012

@CheeseSwaqq I would be happy to help. There is just a few questions that I need to ask so I can help: 1) What phone are you using? 2) Are you using Wireless Tether and then connecting your laptop (or other device) to your phone, or are you using a program that came with the phone? Thanks!

TechZpert commented on 13 Apr 2012

Yes you do need to root your phone for THIS method to work. If you try it without rooting I think it will just tell you to pay $15 or not work at all. If you don't want to root download FoxFi from the Play Store, its free and doesn't require rooting for wifi tether.

TechZpert commented on 16 Apr 2012

Hmm that is interesting but try using FoxFi or Barnacle. Those are great programs, I use Barnacle on my Epic 4G Touch and it works like a charm but I have heard great things about FoxFi. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps :)

Omar Suarez commented on 10 Mar 2012

@chivasjorge90 I have installed everything correctly, but when I want to connect a device it will not let me. It sends the device to a website about purchasing a hotspot plan from Verizon. Please get back to me.

Bellthandian commented on 08 Jul 2013

This would be great. I'm moving in a few months to a place where there is no internet services available, so if I were to buy a new phone and do this, that would be awesome so I could use my laptop :)

TechZpert commented on 14 Apr 2012

If you have unlimited data that you're paying for then you are okay. If you have a limit then be careful with how much data you use while tethering. And thanks for the sub :)

my droid is giving me a message saying error check show log, but when I go to show log it states "Unable to open log-file. File does not exist"

Do the APN settings matter? I can't get tethering working with my nexus 5 on a tethering plan. Any help would be greatly appreciated

+Jamie Wagner Lollipop 5.0.1

Jamie Wagner commented on 14 Mar 2015

+Snipick7 what version of android are you using?

JohnnyGification commented on 27 Apr 2014

I believe Sprint won't charge me for this? I've heard only Nexus 5 can do this without being charged for tethering with Sprint? Correct if I'm wrong. Ty!

Jamie Wagner commented on 28 Apr 2014

I'm pretty sure your correct. It basically just turns the Nexus 5 into a wireless router. So you would just need to keep a close eye on your data usage with sprint.

Jamie Wagner commented on 26 Apr 2014

This video will show you how you can get free wifi tethering/wireless hotspot on the Google Nexus 7 2013 using the Google Nexus 5 acting as a wireless router.

Wifi Tethering for Rooted Android Devices

@nathanielisaboss a lot of times its about putting apps onto your device that the android market does not allow. Most recently old skool emulators like Tiger GBA and wifi tethering apps were taken away. With a Rooted phone you can install these apps as well as custom ROMS. For example the Atrix I have a custom ROM or "theme" called Gingerblur. the look and interface is completely different than the stock motoblur. Custom ROM are a bit advanced and should be well researched first.

Johnny Phung commented on 12 Dec 2011

@the3rdknuckles Are you trying to have wifi on and wifi tethering on at the same time? If that is the case then no, it will not work. You need to make sure you turn of wifi tethering before trying to connect to your wifi again. Wifi tethering is meant to share your mobile broadband using the wifi radio built into your phone. It does not share the standard 802.11 wifi signal.

Johnny Phung commented on 12 Jun 2012

I don't know if the carriers would know that you are using a third party tethering app like this one. The wifi hotspot you are using from your carrier reports to them that you are tethering so you are following what ever terms and conditions included into your plan. I would say just try it. Thanks for watching!

Javier Stephens Sr commented on 21 Nov 2011

Johnny No i am doing it wireless like the video, fallowed the video all the way threw with no issues unless im missing something ? And you dont need the wireless tethering packing on your AT&T account correct?

the3rdknuckles commented on 13 Dec 2011

@johnnythegeek1 maybe it has something to do with the binary codes it changed/installed? I think I remember it doing something to the binary code. I don't really remember it was really early this morning.

omfgursodumb commented on 12 Jun 2012

i have the unlimited plan but i hear with the wifi hotspot it only gets 4gigs then they start chargeing you xtra does this still happen after you root? im using the wifi hotspot that came with my razr

Javier Stephens Sr commented on 21 Nov 2011

Johnny When i press the WIFI on the Atrix the Tethering starts download 0.4kB and upload is 0.1kB and thats it. On my conputer i can find the device but it gives me no network access.

the3rdknuckles commented on 12 Dec 2011

Yo Jonny I just did the wireless wifi tethering for root users and my phone can't detect my wifi anymore. Can you help me out? If it helps I have a rooted samsung exhibit.

the3rdknuckles commented on 13 Dec 2011

I turned the wifi tethering off. I still can't connect. When I go to wifi settings it scans then says connecting then it disconnects and does the same thing over and over.

Javier Stephens Sr commented on 21 Nov 2011

Hey Johnny Every thing down loaded correct to my Artrix4g but when i try to launch my Tethering to my computer is says unidentified network no network access?

Javier Stephens Sr commented on 21 Nov 2011
