Using my EVO 4g as a modem HELP
 
I upgraded to a Sprint EVO 4g with unlimited data package, from a Palm Treo Pro. On my Palm I could use my phone as a modem with the internet sharing app. On my EVO I dont see an app to use the phone as a modem. Does The EVO have the capability to be used as a modem? I know it has the tethering. But it says I have to add this function to my plan. The cost of my plan is high enough. I am not trying to pay for anymore services. So I was wondering if there is a way to do this without paying for an additional service on my plan. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Try pdanet 3.02 on the market. It allows you to hookup your phone with a usb cable for internet.

Or if you want to take it a step farther you can root that bad boy and throw either a rooted stock rom on it or a custom rom that has all the goodies baked in already. My favorite 2.3.3 rom is Synergy, and for sense 3.0 would be R3charged by EvolvedRom, can provide links if you are interested.

yes, if you root you can also use Wireless Android Tether.

hey, I really appreciate it. I have not used it yet, but I know it will work or you wouldn't have suggested it. Thanks again.

pdanet is great, EasyTether Pro is even better for me since it works with Ubuntu Linux.

If you dont want to root, then PDAnet can do it. But I hate anything install on my computer.

You can root and use the WIFI wireless. Better this way.

pdanet works, but you can't access any secured websites (ie https:// ) with the free version. You can try klink. It is the cheapest option and can add the purchase to your bill.

I use the hotspot that is built in, but I just would like to point out a tethered PDANET advantage...and that is CONSTANT charging.
