How to Tether Motorola Droid

Droid will be able to do much more than Verizon is telling you. For example: free tethering, iPhone-like multitouch and CPU overclocking.

Just like the jailbreak community on the iPhone, there’s a group of Android developers determined to grant any Google-powered phone free access to every feature imaginable. And they’re able to accomplish this task more legitimately than underground iPhone hackers, since Android’s source code is completely open to developers.and to add to it, Android 2.0 is now Open Source, so it becomes prevalently much more easier.

However, it’s possible to Tether your Motorola Droid even today. All you need to do is follow the steps carefully.

What you’ll need:

1. USB Driver – Found here > http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/ind ... 06b00aRCRD" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
2. Tethering Software – Found here > http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(Full version costs $29, onetime)

It's my understanding that
With the free version of PDAnet after the free 30 day trail it will still work
BUT,it will only make 5 connections at a time.
What that means is going to roninhoodsplayground only has 1 connection.That is because its all coming from the 1 server
but
if you go to a site like ebay it can have as many as 40 connection at once.Most of that is all the ads and crap that has to load from other servers not just there main server.
It will take much longer to load a site like that doing it with only 5 connection at a time.




Step 1. First, Install PDANet software on your desktop and Phone. (You can find it in the market.Just search PDAnet)
The moment you install it on desktop, it will automatically install the USB driver for you, if it doesn’t, you can use the USB driver above to install.

Step 2. Make sure you have USB Debugging still enabled on your phone.You enable usb deDugging by
setting > Applications > Development > usb debugging and make sure it has a green check in the box.

Connect your Droid to the USB and on phone, launch the PDANet software. Click on “Turn PdaNet On“.

Step 3. Once it is turned on, you can then go to your PC and “Connect” on the PDANet software on your taskbar. You are done, You have Tethered Droid successfully, enjoy the High speed wireless Internet.

I have not tried the Bluetooth

How to Tether Motorola Droid by Bluetooth

Step 4. (Optional, only for Bluetooth) If you need Bluetooth Tethering, first thing you need to do is pair your phone with your PC via bluetooth connection.

Step 5. Once successful, create a Dial-up Networking Connection (DUN). When asked what modem to use, select the Bluetooth Modem Driver. It will ask you for a username and password, select you won’t need to use one. It will ask you to for a phone number to use to dial out. Use “123″ as the phone number.
