Tethering Widget

My goal was to turn on tethering with out having to go deep into my setting. This app solved my problem and I like how the widgets look like the onboard android widgets.

WiFi hotspot works well, but usb tethering was what I was looking forward to, and it doesnt work the first time. You can use the usb tethering switch once you have first connected it manually, which is not much of a use. You have to connect manually again if you have disconnected the data cable.

Does it charge your Sprint bill? I have the HTC EVO and when I go to open the app it tells me I don't have sprint hotspot contact service provider. I quickly ended and called because its a 29.99 charge so I need to know before I use it if it does or doesn't charge... Please help(:

I wanted a simple button on my home screen to toggle WiFi tethering for my tablet and avoid multi-step process required even after setting it up. One has to chase down the widgets option with a long press on one of your home screens, then step through until the Tethering App shows up. Drag and drop to the screen of your choice. Nice feature is the active LED bar on the bottom edge that shows active or not.

The other apps have lots of requirements. This one just suddenly works. Its outrageous how much time i wasted with the other bs apps. Im using metropcs now as a free hotspot to watch netflix on my tv basically. Can be utilized many ways for those without cable or net subscription.

USB tethering is broken on MotoX, Android 4.4.2. Cannot turn on USB tethering when I just connected USB cable: have to do through menus and manually enable it. After that, I can use this app to turn tethering on and off (but what's a point?). If I disconnect and reconnect USB cable, I have to go through menus again. So, the widget is useless for me.

Worked well on Galaxy Nexus. Immediately crashes on Droid Mini. Numerous error reports sent with still no fix. Ongoing issue now for months. 5 stars had it worked on my new device.

Verizon has a new S4 phone update that will render this app useless. I have unlimited data and this app was 5 stars when working before the S4 update. Dont Update if you have unlimited data. It will not work.

The Play Store thinks this is "compatible with my device". It isn't ,as mine runs KitKat. This page says it "Requires Android 2.2 and up", but it should also say it can't possibly work with Android 4 and above. Maybe it only worked with 2.x - it would help if it said.

Unfortunately this widget doesn't work on my device. Clicking the USB tether button does nothing, although if I go the traditional route (through settings etc...) then it comes up green, but that's pointless considering the reason I tried this widget. And yes, my device definitely has tethering, and other apps work well on it.

Seems it would've been a good widget if it didn't require getting screwed by Internet provider..searching for a legitimate tether app such as fox if that will actually let me tether my unlimited data

After a call to V to find out they wanted to suck MORE money out of me to hotspot/tether... even though i already pay for unlimited data. What a screw job. I found this widget ..problem solved. Thank you. Razr maxx.y

This app was working fine but stopped the last few days. Also, I can't get it to work on my sisters jelly bean optimus g. I'm looking to upgrade myself soon so I hope there isn't an issue with jelly bean phones

Wifi hotspot turns on within 2 seconds :] Too bad it doesn't let me choose the bluetooth hotspot tethering option samsung added to my phone with ics :[

I used to tether to my laptop all the time to use my internet, but ever since my phone updated itself to the ice cream sandwich software it won't work!!! I'm so disappointed. I wouldn't have accepted the update had i known this app wouldn't work with it. I hope changes can be made so the two are compatible.

I have successfully downloaded this a pp but it's not visible on any screen except for the Application Manager screen. Sprint is blocking my tethering and hot spot on my phone. I hate their greed!! Even though I have Internet via Bright House Cable Co., Sprint "the Losers" have me blocked! Uninstalling!! Sprint SUCKS!!

Used this for years. Grandfathered into AT&T I still have unlmtd data for almost nothing. I could tether forever lol. Upgraded my androidware, asks for service upgrade to tether now. :-(

This is broken for the galaxy s3. You cannot turn on tethering, but you can turn it off. As of other comments it looks like this is common and because of the latest patch.

I have the S4 and this app has not been updated to accommodate the new FirmWare. This widget is now useless. Please fix!

Problems with galaxy s2 ics. Widget wont work until settings are arranged in the 'phone settings'. Wont connect or start thethering with single touch. Was excellent b4

Works on Galaxy W (android 2.3.6) beautifully. However I'd love a smaller icon. The 'small' icon is not small enuff for me. A bit smaller less obvious icon gets a full star from me ;)

I rooted my Galaxy Note 2, Kept the original rom-AND FINALLY FOUND AN APP(or Widget) THAT WORKS!!! One button to push and blazing fast! I thought I would never get around this AT&T block!I already have "grandfathered " unlimited data, and can finally use it! Great Widget! 5 stars all the way!

The USB tethering button remains red when I connect the USB cable. If I go through the old settings menu and enable tethering once manually, it turns green in the widget and I can then toggle USB tethering off and on via the widget, but it goes red again when the USB cable is removed and still does not recognise reinsertion. The WiFi tethering switch works fine.

Was working just fine on my S4, then out of the blue my phone would check for subscription status when using this widget to activate the hotspot. Uninstalled and reinstalled - same problem. Guess I'll have to uninstall for good.

After it working the first use, now it is coloured red and doesnt engage tethering as its supposed to. I have to go into the menu to activate it manually, then the widget turns green. Now its only usefull for switching tethering off which is not very handy

I go between this app and another app because 1 is secure the other one is not so take my advices and both, have fun and remember to say thank you to these guys too

The usb button wont activate tethering. All you people complaining about it not giving you free internet are you completely stupid. Nowhere in the description does it mention free tethering this is a shortcut only. Stop leaving poor reviews and find some common sense.

I had an issue with my unlocked phone from T Mobile on Wind Mobile network not able to tether but this app fixed the problem after calling multiple places for help!! Honestly, thank you so much for making this app!

Can't say it a problem with the android or the widget code. Most of the times the tethering fails. And once it fails it becomes impossible to tether with that mode(mainly with wifi). If the tethering with the widget fails the only option left is to usb tether without the widget. I would like to know why this is happening.

Installed, appears to be on phone, but I can't connect to hotspot on desktop or tablet because I don't know the network security key. Otherwise it would be a five star.

Htc desire with lolipop 5.1, didn't work. Ill be on the lookout for an update wich will probably be the solution. Looks nice though hah

This is a perfect shortcut to tethering options for phones that don't come with a shortcut app/widget out of the box. This is not intended to get around tethering subscription plans, but to offer an easy toggle. I would recommend an enhancement. If WiFi is on when you turn on mobile hotspot, the widget appropriately shuts WiFi off. However, it would be amazing if the widget took into account the status of WiFi before hotspot is toggled, so when you turn the hotspot off, WiFi will be turned back on.

USB tethering didn't work even the cable is plug to PC. WiFi Hotspot work very well. If this can be resolved then 5 star rating for you..

I'm using gs3 and I could npt get tethering to work. I used wifi hotspot but it notified my carrier and woulnt let me use the internet.... figures

This software has not been updated for a year but it works like a charm. Easy to install and use. It doesn't mess around with your phone settings. No wonder it still works without any software updates.

Work well in general with simple widget, this is good. However, turning on USB tethering doesn't work: it must turn it on in system setting menu first, although configured, then off from widget, then on, off work. Strange!

Tried twice, No app, No icon!!! Installed it and went to open it from the notice on the status bar and it took me back to the Google store and still no option to open, so I checked my apps screen and it wasn't their either. Found the app in my downloads but just like Google store, it only gives me option to uninstall.
