Found this tethering app

[Umass021]

I found this tethering app but haven't tried it yet. It sounds like a different way to tether by doing a wifi direct feature. Has anyone used it? I haven't tried it yet because I just got my replacement rezound and haven't activated it. If anyone has or does let me know.

I was using this the other day, so far it seems just like using Foxfi via bluetooth. I tethered my Nexus7 and was able to surf the web and Play store but some Apps like speedtest would not work.
It seems like anyone can hop on your account though doesn't it? Is it secure or can anyone in range with the OpenGarden App just start tethering away? I don't quite understand the whole concept yet.

Can you only run thru Bluetooth and would you say its better or worse than foxfi?

Yeah only through Bluetooth. It seems almost exactly the same performance wise.
I still have yet to test out whether anyone in range with the OpenGarden App can just jump on my tethering bandwagon...

If you are trying to get a tethering app for wireless then I highly suggest WiFi Tether as I was using it yesterday for the first time and it was simple and allowed excellent speeds.

Mine is free but must be rooted.. which you might as well really do.. it doesn't hurt the phone

I was worried about the same thing that you were but it is very easy. Now with that being your work phone I understand
