My question is not related to any bike 3 or 2 wheel. But,
I have a htc thunderbolt phone.(droid).. and I would like to find a program that will
provide the phone to be a hot spot ( wifi ) or would provide the ability to connect to my Samsung Tab 2 ( droid ) so that I may use the phone internet service as my connection from the Tab2 to the HTC.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

thank you

Maybe setting it on fire would work. It would sure make it hot.

There are some out there, but most of the time you have to root your phone (unlock it) procedures vary from phone to phone. After that, there are some on the market that will work, as some that can be downloaded elsewhere. I seem to recall using one called Barnacle. I do not recall if it requires rooting your phone or not.

Rooting is usually a very simple procedure, especially if the phone has been around any length of time, there are usually programs that wil do it for you in 1 click.

Barnacle requires root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&hl=en

As does this one: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I'd recommend the second. It's an unofficial app from the developers who made android (the operating system on your phone) and supports infrastructure wifi mode. Some devices don't play nice using ad hoc mode, which is the only mode barnacle supports.

Here is some info from a google search on how to root your phone

If I could understand your problem I'd get a heap of pleasure helping you fix it. Yup, I sure would. pps:

For some reason I am not surprised you would be able to help

Do I really come off as that big of a geek?

 

[Bob Denman]

You actually come across as a big help! :2thumbs:

 

[Blue Star]

Do I really come off as that big of a geek?

No, you told me when we went to STIR. Remember?

 

[Arr MiHardies]

No, you told me when we went to STIR. Remember?

No.

 

[Blue Star]

No.

As for being able to help. On the way you talked about linking your phone to your headset for your GPS, and whenever there was talk about directions you pulled out your phone. This told me you knew more than I about phones (really mini computers).

I have very much enjoyed reading this thread. It's nice to be able to read something that you have no idea what they are all talking about, but still feel smart that you can read every word. Thank you so much for this!!

Seriously, just glad there are those who can help!!

Forrest, enable bluetooth on both the tab and the phone. pair them and let them connect. You now have unlimited internet for your tab using your phones service. No charges from Verizon either. Been doing this for over 2 years now with the Xoom, Ipad, Asus and my Mac. Another option would be to get rid of the HTC and get another Android phone, then use FoxFi. But, watch out since Verizon is eliminating those of us who have the old plans with unlimited data.

I was agreeing with Kris right up until the last post... :shocked:

Not saying if you should do it or not do it, but rooting you phone will likely void your warranty.
