Wireless teathering?

[nobodyukno]

I saw someone post about elixir widget allowing this without a subscription prompt. Thought they were probably mistaken but I downloaded and was shocked they were correct. Created a hot spot toggle widget and wala it worked perfectly. No root no prompt to subscribe just worked. I use it rarely so its OK for me

Could you explain how you use this app to get wifi tethering? Thanks

Doesn't work on GNEX. Laptop connects to phone but never to the internet. Also screws up the wifi on the phone, wouldn't work at all until I uninstalled the widget.

I just put the widget on my screen set as a hotspot toggle and it worked. i configured encryption on the hotspot. tested it with my galaxy tab 10.1 and couldnt believe it worked. i dont subscribe and i got no prompt to do so. i tried turning on hotspot on release day and was prompted which i declined. with this it worked though

Confirmed. "wifi hotspot and tether" works. One time $9.99. No carrier portal to go through. No root needed.

Yeah, it's a WIGET. It works everyday on my Galaxy Nexus. Did you go into SETTINGS>MORE>TETHERING & PORTABLE HOTSPOT>CONFIGURE WiFi HOTSPOT and set up the configuration? That's all it takes. Then the computer can get to the internet and you don't have to spend any money. It WILL turn off your WiFi, I guess it assumes if you have WiFi available you really don't need to tether to your 3g or 4g connection.


Update: Wait a minute, I just turned it on, and something turned it off. Checking to see if SetCpu or JuiceDefender is interfering with the wiget. But is was working great before I installed them. I'll get back to the thread when I figure it out.


Another Update: Worked with it today when I had some time. SetCPU does something to turn the Wiget off. Don't know what or why. It works fine when SetCPU is disabled, even with JuiceDefender running. I also noticed that the wiget turns on the phones hotspot feature, (I checked in the settings) but if I try to turn that on manually the phone tries to check with BIG RED. I don't know how the wiget get around that....

I downloaded elixir ... Now what? I don't see anything to click to set my phone to tether. Do I need elixir add on or elixirn2?

Anyone figured a way to teather without paing the extra $30 a month?
