Going to have to root and use Android Tether
as it has no limit. If You are not rooted then you will not be able to change anything about the native app anyway.
Well the native app can be made workable by a work around for it I don't have to pay extra.also the max is set at 5

Does anyone know if there's a way to use Easy Tether with an Android phone and the Elocity A7?
I know the file that needs installing on the input device is for Windows, not Android.
I'd love to use the A7 in place of my laptop on trips where there's no wifi available.
I'm not interested in rooting my phone etc., that's all way over my non-techie head and I'd no doubt ruin my phone.
Thanks for any help.
electric_alice,
The only way I know of tethering is by rooting your phone. Google z4root by RyanZa and find the apk. It seems to be gone from the Market. It's literally 1-click and that's it. I rooted my Droid X with this a while back and can now tether my laptop and the A7 without any problems. Once you have it rooted, grab Wireless Tether from the market and you should be all set.
Thanks for the information. I still don't want to root the phone.
I did email the developer of Easytether, as they have added support for other things, and am hoping they'll update it for android-android as well.
I haven't heard back but if I get a reply I'll share it. I'm thinking it might not work with the A7 anyway?
I just read in another thread, that the USB port can't be used for sharing files.
BTW, what phone do u have?
I just got the new LG Optimus V from VM and no rooting necessary. WIFI hotspot can be enabled with Quick Setting.
And it's real easy to connect as it's a AP. And VM gives unlimited Internet on their BEYOND TALK Plan. This is the best way to connect via WIFI hotspot for your A7.
Hi rogconnect,
I have an HTC incredible. I do have a setting to turn on a wifi hotspot but I'm afraid to change a setting and get a bigger bill from Verizon. I don't know all the ins and outs of how it works or what they know.
I've been using EasyTether away from home without problems. I have the paid version so I can pay bills etc.
Anyone know a solution for Blackberry?
Just an update, I heard back from EasyTether, in case anyone else is interested in same.

Too bad, loved that idea!
Sorry but I haven't seen this question asked anywhere else. Is it possible to simply root the phone and use all of the wonders of root access (ie free tether and the removal of bloat ware) without having to flash a custom rom that may or may not allow my 4g, wifi, and gps to work.
um last i knew u could just root it and use free tether. like opengarden or sumthing from the market. as far a bloatware idk maybe search around the forums for sumthing to flash to it. these guys prolly have sumthing lol
You could root the phone and install a wireless tether app and then use titanium backup pro to freeze bloatware

That is what I originally did. After a few months though I did install a new ROM.

Ok I rooted my phone using unrevoked3 with no problems. I was and am able to use the WiFi hotspot for share my internet with other devices over WiFi (no wires) . Now my cousin just got the evo and want to have free WiFi like me and not have to pay Sprint 30 bucks a month for it. His phone is 2.3.3 so unrevoked3 won't work so I tried for the first time revolutionary. I have the Superuser and it is in s-off,,, but when i go to try the sprint WiFi hotspot I get the message that I don't have that on my plan so it doesn't work. It seem to me that it is rooted, so why doesn't this work like it does for me? Do I need to flash a ROM to get it to work or did I goof something up? Please help me out, I spent four hours playing around with this today and reading different threads on rooting the new way,, all for family but feel like I let my cousin down by not getting him what I said I was able to do. So i need to help of some of the brightest techies on the best forum ever!

The reason it doesn't work is your trying to use the sprint hotspot you HAVE to flash a Rom to.get the hacked sprint hotspot or you can use a wireless tether app

yes you have to download a rom that has it integrated or find a wireless tethering app to download.

I answered your question already

Think you've been reading the wrong stuff. It sounds like you haven't fully rooted your phone or rooted it with one of the latest ROMs. I know some ROMs don't include wifi sharing - also known as tethering.

You need a hacked hotspot or simply get wifi tether from the market. Iirc, using unrevoked comes with a rooted stock rom with hotspot being an included app. But I'm not sure since I used unrevoked only once a long time ago. Using revolutionary doesn't flash a rom. So everything about the rom is stock...but you have an unlocked boot loader. Flash a rom with unlocked hotspot, most of them have it

You can also use Caulkins mod to unlock the hotspot/usb tethering
Check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271&highlight=caulkins+wireless+tether
Download and flash using the recovery of your choice. Note this will only work over 3g. If you want to tether 4g you will need an app like wifi tether.
Hi,
how many simultaneous connections are possible when using the mobile-hotspot-feature in the phone?
I can't find anything in the settings....
Thanks for your help.
at Google support they say: 8 simultaneous connections
But it can be more or less when u dont use the standard app i think
I mostly think only 5 possible connection can be made.
My friend sets his up in the bar regularly as towards the back you get no internet connection so they just bunny his phone, but I think he gets a good 6+ without an issue. He has a Samsung gs2 and a HTC titan though.

Hi Guys, i'm planning on getting a Note 2 on Verizon as soon as it comes out. I have been using the Droid Bionic and love the wifi tether app that allows me to share data with other devices without having to pay the extra $30 that Verizon asks for. I was wondering if i can do the same on the Note 2? i tried looking around for an answer but couldn't find one anywhere.

yes. just install one of many tethering apps and you'll be able to. wifi will need root permissions most likely. but usb tethering will probably be fine.
depending how VZW does makes the built in app, you could use it. if they don't track it. which some companies do..
U already have an integrated tether app found in your settings. Just customize as u like, turn it on, and there u go

Not sure how Verizon is going to setup their hotspot on the Note 2, but to get around it, why not use this?
FoxFi - Google Play
No rooting required.

I bought T-mobile Note 2 and FOXFI doesn't work. and my phone is rooted so i installed Wifitether, on my phone it show that tethering is enabled but i don't see the ssid on my laptop or other android device. i thought the ssid was hidden but no it is was not hidden. so i am going to flash N7100 rom into my Tmobile Note 2. and use stock tethering app.
you cant use foxfi because its isnt real designed for jb expect the nexus its a ics app an wifitether app even with rooted phone wont word its not a app end problem its a os problem theres a apn block on the phone that wont let rooted apps push data threw that has to be delt with first all versions are having this problem tmob,verzion,sprint,[email protected],iternal,
