Tethering with your phone
« on: June 17, 2010, 09:11:50 AM »
Anyone ever do this...specifically with an HTC Hero?  How did it work and is it super hard to set up?  TIA.

If it's rooted do this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
(it will turn it into a wifi hotspot)

If it's not rooted do this:
http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/
here are the installation instructions:

If you want a very easy non-rooted application (and can pay $30) do this:
