tethering newbie

[lisalisa13]

Hi all. Never used tethering before and curious about it. I assume if i use the hot spot app already on the phone will cost me money. I've noticed some threads about foxfi , but wondering if its free before I try. I still have unlimited data plan and am on 232 ics leak if that makes any difference. Thanks

doesnt matter what app or hack you use..verizon cannot charge for using wifi hotspot they can only charge you for data that u use... foxfi is free.. the sql editor hack is the built in one.. and wifi tether seems to only work for ICS leaks .230 and earlier.. so since you have unlimited wifi tether away...http://www.zdnet.com/let-my-wi-fi-go-fcc-rules-verizon-cant-charge-for-wi-fi-tethering-7000001916/

editl... btw all the ones i mentioned are free

There are quite a few free tether apps in the market Lisa. Most popular are Foxfi, WiFi tether, Wireless tether & Barnacle.
Good luck!

Edit: my bad....I was confusing wireless tether with Wi-Fi tether. Wireless tether was what I used in my fassy.
Sorry for the confusion.

What's the difference between Wi-fi tether and wireless tether? Maybe it would be easier to explain what I want to use it for. Would like to be able to stream Netflix through my nook tablet when not at home

Foxfi would be easiest to setup since you dont have to root your phone and most stable but if you cant have it connecting just reboot the phone

I use it all the time to stream moves/shows on to my laptop/tablet

 

[lisalisa13]

Thanks all! I'll probably give foxfi a try

Actually they're two seperate apps. But made by the same developer and look and perform very similar. I actually get better performance with wireless tether.

lisa u ever try the sql hack.. it would give you one less app to deal with..

The SQL hack is great- the stock tethering app is super quick to connect and easy to use

No, not rooted. The 232 leak was the bravest I've ever got

If you are brave enough to do ics,then rooting is no problem. Just search for razrs edge and download that. Unzip the file and run the run.bat file. Just one click.
