It works!! Thank you so much ! Wohoo. Another point for Android. With Bluetooth that'll be it for me. No reason to boot into WinMo anymore. I still love the old girl but it's time to put her to rest.

If you want to be able to tether through Wi-Fi, your best bet ATM is using the HTC program in Windows.

sucks for you man, i easily get 6+hrs out of Android..and ive done nothing special... and why cant you be charging while Wifi Tethering??

Thanks 123 and thanked.

The problem Im having is that the Internet is slow with android tethering.

I was using skype with a video call and it was very pixelated and choppy video. I switched to windows and it was more clear.

Is there anyway I can speed up the tethering connection on android?

I've noticed my data connection in Android is slower than in WinMo - so I would say that's the choke point, not the actual tether cxn.

Nope... I don't know if they have an 'app' for it but so long as you use the built-in OS methods (like the xda apk or the HTC tether in WinMo) you won't get charged. Supposedly if you 'abuse' it Sprint will cut you off... I use it pretty frequently, never had an issue or upcharge for it on my bill.

has anyone been able to secure their wireless hotspot using the app? I can share it when its wide open, but if i had a WEP, it doesnt work, it just tries to connect and doesnt ask for a Password

I think it goes back to the no WEP support in Android for our devices. I haven't done it in a while, but the app doesn't have an option for WPA/WPA2?

Nope, only option is WEP encryption.
