by Joe Baquilta on Jan 17, 2012 3 Comments">3
Nowadays, people on the go don’t tag along just one mobile device. It is typical for them to have multiple mobile devices in their bag. Smartphones, PDAs, tablets, and laptops are some of the usual gadgets they carry around. And, having to bring these gadgets along gave birth to Internet tethering, through which one can share the Internet connection from one’s phone to other gadgets. The sad part about Internet tethering, though, is the fact that most wireless providers would charge you extra even if you are already subscribed to an unlimited data plan. This is an issue that has …

If you own a smartphone, you have probably become accustomed to having a wireless internet connection where ever you go. On the other hand, unless you picked up a MiFi (personal hotspot) or have a 3G plan for your tablet, that same internet connection for your tablet or computer is restricted to your house, or in some cases, your neighbors house. But what if all you had to do was push a button on your phone and you could share your smartphone’s data with with your tablet(s)? Well, you can.

by Christine T on Jan 03, 2012 0 Comments">0
Admit it, who doesn’t want free data connectivity on their smartphones? The ability to surf and open different websites without any charge is a huge deal for everyone. Unfortunately, mobile carriers have amped up their game and have added extra costs for these. They also see to it that any app that provides a provision of this service is struck down at all costs. But until today, this only seemed like a faraway dream. Thanks to one of the most popular hacker/developer known as Koushik Dutta, or rather Koush, the ability to use data connectivity on your smartphone for free …

How to Connect Your Desktop to the Internet Using an Android Phone
by Carl Parker on Nov 13, 2011 3 Comments">3
Perhaps you don’t know it yet, especially if you’re new to Android: you can use your Android phone to hook up your desktop or laptop to the Web. In this scenario, your Android phone essentially becomes a modem/router of some sort, which you can use to bring Internet connectivity to your desktop or laptop. This can only work if you are subscribed to a data plan with your mobile carrier. If you are subscribed only to a call-only plan, this solution might not work. Also, before attempting to hook up your desktop to the Internet in the method described here, …
Sprint Starts blocking Tethering Apps in the Market
by Alexander Maxham on Oct 31, 2011 6 Comments">6
In another move that’s sure to irritate at least a few folks, Sprint has effectively blocked the downloading of any tethering apps from the Android Market, in what seems to be a move to keep people from abusing their unlimited data plans. This follows in the footsteps of the other major US Carriers, who have also blocked tethering apps in the Android Market. The apps are still working, in case you think that your WiFi tether app that you downloaded last month will no longer work, as it will. But these tethering apps are still available to download via sideloading. …

Android 2.2 FroYo to support USB tethering and Wi-Fi sharing
by Michael Oryl on May 13, 2010 0 Comments">0
Tech Crunch has turned up some screen shots from the upcoming Android 2.2 OS (code named Froyo) that show built-in support for USB tethering and the use of the Android device as a Wi-Fi hotspot for the sharing of its data connectivity. I think it is quite likely that we will see some carriers disabling this functionality in shipping phones, but surely some will allow it. Google’s I/O event is only days away, so we’re very likely going to see the the official Android 2.2 unveiling at that time, and maybe even on a new device.
Google to allow tethering apps for non T-Mobile users
by James Tromans on Apr 02, 2009 4 Comments">4
Earlier in the week we reported that Google had cut tethering applications from the application store. Tethering applications allow users to hook their G1 up to another device such as a laptop, and use the data connection provided by the G1 as a modem for the laptop, thus providing it with the Internet. This has a few implications, not least of which is due to the fact that T-Mobile also provide wireless Internet based on a monthly subscription for laptops in markets such as the UK and USA. Allowing G1 owners to use their G1′s ‘unlimited web browsing’ for their …
Google removing tethering apps from Android Market
by Michael Oryl on Mar 31, 2009 2 Comments">2
While not entirely unexpected, it appears that Google has started removing tethering applications from the Android Market. For those of you unfamiliar with the term tethering, it refers to using a cell phone as a modem for a personal computer or similar device. It gets its name from the cable that often links the two, which acts as a tether of sorts (though Bluetooth can also be used in lieu of a cable). My friend Chris Davies of Android Community has written up a nice explanation of what appears to be going on at the Android Market, so I recommend …

This program allows users to use their mobile internet on their G1 as a modem for their laptop. First and foremost, this little application does not require root access to work. Second, it is free.

How to tether your G1 for use as a laptop modem – kinda
by Nicholas Ahn on Feb 14, 2009 3 Comments">3
Gizmodo has just published an article that explains how to connect your G1 to a computer for data tethering. The process requires a USB cable, the Tetherbot App, the Android SDK, a little use of either Run (on Windows) or Terminal (on Mac), and it can only be used with Firefox. Carriers haven’t been too supportive of tethering, and you may want to either check with your own carrier for charges, or use this sparingly. You can take a look at the step-by-step process here.
