Tether Turns One Year Old!

1. On phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and check USB debugging.

Did you do this step? The black box is the command prompt and should say copying around 400k then goes away. After that go to settings/apps/manage apps. Tether should be in here as well as the app drawer.

Yeah...I did that step. It just shows the black box then it goes away, Doesn't do anything.

I've heard those with Verizon, you could be service charged out of the ass for doing this?

You may not have ADB installed. It uses it to push the file to your phone. Another way is to do this. Go to computer/c:/program files/tether/tether.apk is in there. Mount your phone by pulling down the notification bar and tapping on usb connected. You may get an autoplay window for the sdcard of the phone. Otherwise go to computer and look for removable drive. In the sdcard place the tether.apk in here. Make sure to go to settings/apps/ and have a check mark in Unknown sources. Last open a file manager like Astro and go to /sdcard where the tether.apk is at tap on it. Chose app launcher and install. You should now have it on your phone.

I went to the folder on my computer and emailed myself the apk file. Opened my email on the Droid and Downloaded it to the card. Used Astro viewer to get to the file and open/install it. If anyone runs into the same issue I had, this should work.

if you go crazy with it, maybe. but rule of thumb, use it for convenience, not to download the whole world.

Anyone tested speeds yet?

Now I can start Tether on both my PC and Droid, but the Droid says "Waiting for connection over USB." It's not connecting.
