jeffro Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 check out this app. its called pdanet. its a free app that lets you connect to the internet on your desktop/laptop via your phones internet connection. im currently browsing the web on it and averaging 2.4Mbp/s. this would be really convenient if i had a laptop. best part: ITS FREE. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl1647545488 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I've been using that little program on the last 3 Windows Mobile phones I owned. Great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 If your phone is rooted, you could get "wireless tether for root users" as well. It's actually created by the android team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend uses his G1 as a access point. Its pretty fucking cool. For using pdanet, firefox+adblock+adblock definitions=must have for quicker browsing.

unfunnyryan Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 18M download? what service plan do you have? I like how it also shows his carrier in the picture its self . Still gets shitty upload speed. Why can't roadrunner get with the game already? I used pdanet today when I was playing with DNS settings/setting up a local domain and had no internet temporarily. Its nice knowing I don't have to steal the neighbors wifi anymore in such situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
