Android 2.2 (Froyo) Wireless and Wired Tethering

[ForDoverUSA]

yeah and that's the biggest misconception, for Verizon it's $20/month. F that.

[mvorules]

Could you do this using the HTC Inspire running 2.2.1 Froyo I tried to do the same thing and it said that I need to call ATT (611) or go online to this certain webpage! I thought it was free and I didnt have to pay for it!

[johnndreu]

Hey I just got the samsung indulge for metro pcs with android 2.2. I tried to find the tethering and hotspot option in the settings and its not there. How can i make my phone a hotspot?

[noname4422]

@johnndreu Carriers make custom versions of Android. They can disable it if they want. You could root your device and install vanilla Android if you want.

[prisspross32]

lg optimus on the one plan from three.....perfect for tethering.one problem, is i cant find it this simpl,e to connect.

[1130g1]

Does It Come On G2

[eternallimi7]

@1130g1 yes any phone with froyo has that ability even the mytouch :)

[SpideRx21O]

@eternallimi7 are you talking about the myTouch 3G? cause my bro has one and it doesn't do it, even with the 2.2 upgrade. Can the myTouch 3G Slide do it?

[chris323]

i heard t mobile is gonna charge 15 a month for this will they still charge you got this app from a rooted phone

[Kristhablack]

whats froyo a new type of mayo? lmao

[MizTubeFreak]

I have the HTC H2 with Android 2.2 installed. How come my portable wifi option gives me an error code. Won't let me click into it. Do u have any advice for me?

[hankhill2]

No tethering options on my new G2 from T-mobile. Looks like they have it disabled. :( What a bunch of crap. On their site it says it's possible with the G2. What a lie.

[ryanroflcopter]

does it cost extra, for tethering and mobile hotspot? I know it will use your bandwidth, but is it an extra feature? How are the data plans on this? For unlimited etc. And can that unlimited bandwidth be used with tethering/hotspot? Who carries this product?

[rockb922]

what's the name of the other wireless tethering program you keep referring to?

[soofunnny]

does this work with macbooks?

[jvrcb17]

@soofunnny it has to. at least the wifi hotspot.

[GoMotionAnimation]

@soofunnny yes it does

[RichColours]

I love ASUS laptops.

[leakimiW]

I can't see form the video but is the wifi network os type adhoc or infrastructure? AP's are always in infrastructure mode. adhoc networks are in general not to great.

[ghuegel]

I've heard they want to charge extra for tethering... how would they know that you're tethering vs. connecting directly on your phone?

[BmoreFinest410]

So damnn--- its free tethering wit at&t and tmobile cause its not "official" yet??

I wonder when they start rolling out devices with 2.2

will they start charging for it??

I mad like hell right now,, i got to pay to do it

once i get my EVO on sprint. Aint that bout a bitch!! UGHHH!!

[tudorbmw]

you couldn't get an ipod touch or an iphone, yo had to get an ipad.....

[stopthepolicestate]

I have been wanting to see how fast tethering was for a while. Thanks for bringing us a hands on look at what it is like. Awesome video and great idea to cover...Thanks

[funnyent]

So on Froyo tethering is free? Then it better be when the new iPhone comes out!!

[kswannabe]

AT&T hasn't started to charge for tethering with froyo yet?

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

lol that used to be faster than my internet, til i got comcast that is now i get 21 mb/s down, its freakin awesome. i <3 N1

[ultraret]

3M DL on ATT???? ... I dont fraking believe it!! thats like sprint 4G speeds... could you do a few more speed tests?

[victorinoxs]

@ultraret really? that's what fast sprint 4G is? I get like 5~6mpbs here in Canada on hspa

[ozzytonygeezerbill]

does this work on at&t

[SimX9000]

at&t sucks

[knottsknocks]

@SimX9000 Call quality, yes. Internet quality, no.

[XxK1LLx3RxX]

can u tether a psp or ds? or is it an ad hoc conneciton?

[TechoPL]

pls answer me. Dos the wi-fi hotspots, makes you have wi-fi wherever you are for FREE?

[999kav]

@TechoPL I think it uses the 3g and will depend on your contract :)

[TheBigboySid]

@TechoPL

yup :)

[4N0NYM0U557]

your camera losing focus makes my eyes pop °-°

[AppleGenius0921]

Great video! I hope that the iPhone will perform as easily as Android, and have nice fast speeds. Well done

[sn95chico]

i love my nexous one with 2.2 it works great

[starwarsandpie]

The problem is that these companies, as soon as they get their greedy hands on froyo, they'll make it to where you have to PAY to get that option, if it's already built into the phone why would we pay extra to use it? Can't wait until XDA get's a handle on this.

[mota411]

damn thats allot faster than my internet connection at home

[vandam500]

I got 5MB download and 3MB upload on my Nexus via AT&T :)

[aigalaxy]

@vandam500 really? is it possible to get that speed ? cause mine is just like brandon's speed about 3MB

[ErwinTheAfrican]

Hahaha!My download speed was 400kb/s and upload was 150kb/s !

[cardcrash2444]

lol 2:34 why would you need a wireless hotspot in a starbucks?

[Viking2575]

@cardcrash2444 Just to prove to everyone there that you are better then them!

[ErwinTheAfrican]

I still love it when he says his name!Its so confusing!lol

[CYNFELYN23]

Great Video Brandon!

[JoeyandLindsay]

Thanks, Brandon. Have you by chance heard of the EVO 4G possibly getting 2.2?

[nickbu1]

@JoeyandLindsay Yea it will be getting it. I heard that the majority of HTC phones will be getting 2.2 especially the quite new ones (this year)

[bobfreeman814]

@JoeyandLindsay Im pretty sure it will
