Motorola Droid X :: Enable Froyo's Built-in WiFi/USB Tethering
Aug 23, 2010
Can it be done? Obviously Verizon and Motorola have disabled it because they want us to pay $20/month for the Verizon app. Yeah, sure Verizon. Anyways, if it requires a custom ROM to enable, then we're SOL until someone breaks the bootloader encryption or we have to use the free WiFi Tether for Root Users app which only supports Ad-hoc mode and WEP encryption, which basically is the same as no encryption really.

I am rooted running froyo. I cannot figure out how to enable the wifi tethering. Can someone run me through this step by step. I have the wifi widget loaded onto my phone but cannot figure it out from there. Is there something I have to do to my laptop. Please run the step as if you were teaching a 3 year old.

As you've heard, Verizon confirmed they will not support the wifi hotspot nor the tethering features on the original Droid. They claimed it's for technical reasons.Since everyone on the technical community agrees that it is not true, is there something we can do to catch the attention of Verizon and convince them to enable those features?A mass email? A petition?

I figuered out how to tether with the phone. Pair the phone via Bluetooth and go to "Show Bluetooth Devices" and "connect using" and then "access point. Now you have tethered with Bluetooth.

I have PIPO M8 3G tablet running on Android 4.1.1, the problem is that Tethering and Portable hotspot are missing from the menu.
Is there any way to enable tethering if it's not in the ROM?
The device is ROOTED.It also cannot make phone calls and send SMS is there a way to enable them too?

Is there a way to enable or disable tethering (USB or wifi) on an android phone programmatically? Perhaps an API in android SDK or NDK or any even non-UI command to do that.

I am wanting to programmaticaly set the state of the enable flag for WiFi Hotspot Tethering in Froyo. Something like this:
boolean isEnabled = Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG, 0) == 1;
// toggle HOTSPOT mode
Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);
// Post an intent to reload
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Is there a programmatic flag for turning off wifi hotspot mode in 2.2 from Settings.System class?

I know Motorola loaded Nuance's VAD application since they decided to launch with 2.1 vs 2.2, however, how that 2.2 is out, how do we get rid of it? The Nuance app is barely functional at best, and is far surpassed by the quality/features of the Froyo voice app, which from what I remember, supports Bluetooth now. So how do we get it off of there?

Just upgraded from DInc to X this week. Rooted - all that fun stuff. Had AP tethering on DInc, I'm still getting adHoc with X even with version 2.0.5-pre 7. Is anyone else getting AP tethering or do we need to wait for the froyo kernal? I had originally thought any phone with the VZW wifi hotspot app had AP tethering capabilities in its kernal already.

I am running the smoked glass 4.5 and its not stable at all anymore plus I have heard good things about the 2.1 update. So I am pondering the idea of checking it out. Now if I do this, will I be able to get WiFi tethering on there at all? For free of course.

1. Can I password protect my droid like i could with a normal router? (WEP or something to that affect?) and
2. will verizon notice extreme usage of bandwith on my data plan from tethering too much? Supposedly our data plans are limited to 5gb a month even though they say its 'unlimited'. I don't think I'll use it all that much because i'll only use it in the event that I really need it and have no wifi access.

I am rooted on the Droid 1 with a stock FRG22D kernel and ROM.I downloaded WiFi Tether from the Market.I tried it out on several different laptops using different Windows OS.It appears to work great as long as Access Control (MAC Filtering) and WEP are turned off.If either is activated, all data transfer ceases. Other posts have also noted this issue which appears to be associated with the stock FRG22D kernel.My question is has anyone flashed a Froyo P3 or other kernal that will allow Access Control or WEP to work as intended with the stock FRG22D ROM. I am happy with the stock kernel and ROM but will consider switching if I can find a compatable kernel or other configuration.Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I've just installed Bugless Beast 0.7.5 yesterday (loving it so far, OC'd to 800mhz), but the wifi tether is running very slow. I'm using the Wireless Tether for Root Users app, and I'm getting terrible speeds.Speeds I'm getting are: 634kbps down, 106kbps up. Is this normal or is something wrong with my setup?

I rooted my phone about a month ago using BB v1.0 and loving it.The major reason I rooted was for the wifi tether.My situation might be a bit different than other people that are using wifi tether, since I'm connecting to my car (www.mp3car.com).Using the app wifi tether, I can easily connect to a network manually, but everytime I turn off my car, it obviously looses connection.When I turn my car back on,I have to MANUALLY reconnect.I am using Windows 7 and have created the profile that's supposed to reconnect automatically, but it never does.I believe that since this isn't a real wifi hotspot and just an adhoc network, that this automatic connection isn't possible with just Windows 7 networking settings.Has anyone had any success getting your wifi tether to automatically connect to their laptop when you turn it on?

My first droid died recently (RIP), and thankfully the insurance did have droid 1's to replace it (refurb). My original had the raised keyboard, this one doesn't. Otherwise seems the same--except: under Settings-->Wifi and Networks is a tab called "Tethering." So I plugged it into my computer, turned on USB Tether, and yet I couldn't seem to get internet from the phone's data service. Is this a weird, non-working foyo feature?

I am running Ultimatedroid 5.x which is the ere25 base. Does anyone know or have WiFi tethering capabilities running a rom with the ere25 base? It will open and start it just wont actually draw data from your phone. Also I have ChevyNo1's 1.2 kernel and its says + WiFi module but maybe I am doing something wrong.

I searched other WiFi tethering posts and couldn't find the answer. If I get a droid 2 rooted, will the WiFi tethering be free? And will it be unlimited? Or does Verizon stop me or add charges for going over a certain number of gigs?

As far as roms and all are concerned I've managed to get my droid rooted and working. I'm running LFY 1.7 with a P3droid 1000 kernel. My question is, I have tried barnacle, WiFi tether, and every other WiFi tethering app that anyone has suggested and they all start up and say that they are now running. My problem is that no other device will see this WiFi connection, and truthfully I don't believe it's really working. I have been told that slayher's kernels were very good for tethering but whenever I flash one of them, my phone starts, up and gets warm, then reboots. Keep in mind that I am running the kernels at the same speeds. If anyone has any input as to why my WiFi tethering is not working?

There is quite a few out there. What is best? i.e. Do they all require something installed on the PC to make it work like easy tether and using USB or can someone just search and add connection and surf internet?
