Anybody Wireless Tether?

[adleyh2000]

Just thought i would put how cool i think it is that i finally rooted my phone and can wireless tether for my laptop. I basically have internet connection wherever i get a phone wireless signal. Whoever thought of this should be rich...

--end rant... lol

Yeah, it's definitely one of the best perks for going root. If only I had this when I was still in school and good access the net whenever I needed to. lol

Agreed. If only I would of had an Android phone a few years ago. A had a BB 83xx and a Sprint wireless card. Together over $150/month. Even using PDAnet i still would only manage 120/30Kbps. And it wouldnt always work either. Anything over a 3Mb download would cause the BB to freak out and lockup, requiring a battery pull. Very annoying to say the least

Now my bill is almost half what it was and I have two Heros on my account both able to wireless tether to notebooks.

Most of the time when traveling, I have the phone in my bag and my iPod touch in my hands.

it'd certainly be a heck of a lot nicer than using my crappy satellite internet...but my even crappier cell phone signal at home means i've got to use crappy satellite internet instead lol

I agree, wireless tether is awesome and I actually managed to get a solid 600k-800k connection with it.

Since internet everything is blocked in work i use this ALOT. im there all night long all by myself so why not? Only problem is the phone gets redhot. thats why i started tethering with the wire. now the phone stays charged and its not so hot.

Yeah, wireless tether kills my battery. Dead. Quickly. Even when charging it drains, but I still use it.

If you don't have a mac, you should try WiredTether. I was going to make this app, but this developer beat me. I'm not a skilled Java programmer :/

 

[flipfone]

or gscript lite with the script that was posted. and that WILL work on a mac.

 

[adleyh2000]

just searched the market for WiredTether and no results, i spaced it out and searched as one word...

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

probably not in the market, google search it, I got it from a link in the Evo forum.

 

[adleyh2000]

does it work better in your opinion?

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

Well, I've run the script on my phone, and got over 3Mb download as seen here

I Ran the app and didn't get anywhere near that. Reasons? I dunno. I was trying to make the same app, using essentially the same idea. Its using the same script as running the script, so I don't know why my speeds were so much slower

 

[okwow]

yeah wireless tether only reason i want to root my phone
