If you can get 3G you can get a mobile broadband card. So yes, you’re cheap.

why root it for this when you can just get wifi hotspot and usb tether from svtp in the market, it works very well.

How are you doing it this way. I used SQL Lite editor on my RAZR to achieve this.

Wired tethering is where you only have 1 machine physically connected to your phone, as a portable wifi hotspot your phone may allow multiple machines to connect at 1 time.

Just installed on my gnex and it works great! I was getting speeds of 5.9mb download on my tablet tethered to my nexus.

I wouldn’t call it flawless either… mine works fine but then when you turn the tethering off the phone won’t go back to using the current wifi spot I’m on (I’m not tethering because I need the wifi but just to test out the application) and sometimes it shuts down the phone and re-boots the phone, anyone know of a better tethering option?

to the people who say that people who use wifi- tether for home internet are downloading huge files and ruining tethering for everybody else. i must say that i use wifi-tether for home internet not because im cheap and dont want to pay for cable or dsl it is because i have no other options. it is either wifi-tether or dial-up and i choose wifi-tethering

I’d rather see the native app unlocked vs using 3rd party.

Installed flawlessly. Back in the day people used to tether their XBoxes from their phone and have all night game playing session so you can imagine how much data that would use – I’m sure many of you have done that too. VZW will notice if you go from using 3 Gb/month of data to 50 Gb/month and you’ll be screwed. Tether carefully.

Ok, just do this in my office, up on the 8th floor, and I’m now getting the positive result from my netbook. I’ll probably get my tablet into the office to try it out later.

Mind you, when I was doing this last night, with Wifi itself turn off, I was not getting any internet connection via 3g/4g. that seemed to have been cleared in the office.

I think everyone should just use common sense when using wifi tether….I have an unlimited plan, but im not gonna be d/l bittorrents or even doing tons of streaming.I just use it when travelling, so at an airport, at the hotel, occasionally when at a coffee shop without wifi….but bottom line, Im rooting because Im already paying Verizon for data and they shouldnt be able to tell me how I distribute my data once its accessed by my phone. But i do understand they want to deter people from using 4G as their main data connection.
