Wifi Tether 3.1, pre110 is working but I had to mess with settings a few times. WPA is working too. Man these Dev's are working fast..Much thanks to them!!
What exactly did you have to do in the settings? I just downloaded this build.

Glad I stumbled across this while figuring which phone Im getting next. I just got this for my Charge and it could not have been easier. I was kind of leaning towards the Rezound due to volume and signal issues on the GN but this will keep me on the sideline a little longer to see if updates fix the signal issues. This app doesnt work on the rezound and i dont have an internet line at the house so this could sway me to the GN.
Anyone else having issues with this app dropping data? If I use it for a while on my MacBook Pro, it'll stop working sometimes and I have to turn tethering off and back on. Yet even when it has the issues, my iPad connects to the Internet just fine. So I'm not sure if it's the app or my MBP.
At first WPA kept it from working. I turned it off and was then able to connect. I also had to check the "Routing Fix" box. I again tried WPA and got it to work the second time around.
I googled Google Wifi Tether to get to the website. I went to downloads and side loaded the app.
Ok ....bare with me on this. I am NOT tech at all.
Why would you need this or WIFI when you have 4G?
Especially the person that is going to Vegas. Wouldn't it be perfect 4G there?
I'm here to learn so take it easy on me.
Tethering is using your Phone as your Wifi provider.
I use Tethering a lot. I have an EyeFi card for my DSLR that requires Wifi to transmit. This way my vids and pics are uploaded immediately without having to upload to camera and then upload to net. There will be Wifi avail to the attendees, but using my own 4G will prob be faster than the shared network being used by 1000+ media types.
I was able to use this Tether App with my Xoom and at least 6 comuters attached today. Worked great. Much faster than I was able to ever get with my Droid X.
Well apparently this app has been in the market for quite a while so if Verizon was going to block it, I think we'd know by now.
I don't think so. I think this just bypasses Verizon's block on native tethering to non-paying users. If I turn tethering on and go into the built in hotspot's settings, the box is checked and I can turn it off there. I just can't turn it back on without this app or its widget.
I'm tethering right now to the ics wifi tether, with no hotspot plan. Just an unlocked bootloader and no root. 25 mb down, 14 mb up. I'm a happy camper.
I have tried this however when I go to use my laptop it goes to the Verizon wifi page wanting me to purchase through them??? any suggestions what I did wrong?
