Not sure if this has been asked yet, looked around, but didn't see this particular app mentioned.
Would EasyTether work on on the Vivid? Has anyone tried it?
See a lot of people saying they aren't rooted and using it, any truth to it?
Thanks
I downloaded easy tether and its working fine...

It does!! At least when i had to use it, it did. Works by installing "helper" software onto your computer and instead of checking "USB Tether" you just leave it in Charge mode and the software links your phone connection to your PC. Never had any issues with it!

Wifi tethering. If you need to charge too, you can use USB for that and still use wifi for the data.
My desktop doesn't have wireless. So I need to use usb tethering

Well... a driver is a peice of software that lets any device and computer communicate... im gonna go out on a limb and say that you proabably need drivers to tether.

Ya you do cuase I tried to tether to a computer and on xp I had to get drivers to tether.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
You have to have a rom that has tethering enabled. On fusion I went to wireless network. There is a selection for Tethering select that and you should see a check box. You need to check that.
As long as you have the usb drivers installed for the captivate windows will see the phone as a network connection in the network connections section of control panel. Select the android connection and you should be on the internet.
BTW this is all on Windows 7 64bit pro. I would hazard a guess that all flavors of Win 7 will be the same and Vista would be similar. As for XP not sure its pretty old.
Thanks for the help everyone, I actually got it working with the Captivate drivers yesterday thanks to studacris' link. It's really irritating trying to find stuff like that from mobile haha. Thanks for the help though
(Not to hijack, but just because it relates to drivers and tethering.) A few months ago, I was able to tether to a wifi router over a usb cable through the captivate using a right-out-of-the-gate ubuntu 10.10 install (diagram that sentence - I dare you). In other words, ubuntu pc-usb-captivate tethering-wifi.
So if you have an ubuntu install with no wifi access, the captivate should be able to do it for you. I realize this isn't the op's situation, but it might be a good thing for someone to keep in kind if they don't have a wireless card yet.
drivers
I just got a new Win7 64bit laptop, had to install Both the Samsung USB Drivers, AND Kies Mini to get tethering to work.
Just the Samsung USB drivers were not enough.
What i did i went to walmart and bought bluetooth chip for 20$ installed the solfware and simply paired them it work fine it was slightly slow for you tube but none the less it was like carring a modum in my pocket

just wanting to know if anyone with legit wifi hotspot is having issues with staying connected. it seems i can only stay on a couple mins. then i have to manually restart the hotspot. plus, half the time, when i turn off the wifi hotpsot my phone reboots. the only success i have had is using usb tethering. flawless and fast. just not happy with other issues. anyone having the same things happening? Edit. Verizon said to try a couple things and if they don't work wee will try a new phone.
Anyone have this issue?
Was your phone previously rooted?

I had rebooting issues only when being rooted.
i'm having issues
I always have with wifi and the marektplace only. Don't know if that helps but I downloaded the superuser update from the marketplace and fixed my wifi for about half a day. It works on the internet fine so i don't think i've having the same issues as you mine only doesn't use wifi on the marketplace. Must be some binary thing.

Had the issue before rooting. Had issue after rooting too.
I had this issue when I unrooted my phone.
There were a few apps not working right and causing me problems after unrooting.
I backed up my apks, then did a factory reset selecting to format my internal media area.
I lost all my settings, but I never had that problem again.

The Klink app works great with the HTC one for tethering without root.
It does require you to set it up on the computer you're tethering with, and the phone.
Long time lurker and I haven't hit the post requirement for link posting, just search Klink in the play store.
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, if so please let the post sink and disregard it.
I just purchased based on your opinion..it's Pretty good ..thanks

It appears you can usb tether with sense too, just need to install HTC sync manager and enable usb sync in the phone settings.
I didn't bother installing HTC sync manager, so couldn't confirm yet. But information seems that it'll work.

I am glad USB tethering works. I have been using EasyTether on my Moto Photon for about 1.5 years without a single problem. very stable.
It's my first time hearing of Klink.... is it stable?

Hi pals. It's been 3 years I'm buying HTC and have had awesome time with them. I'm THE ONLY ONE in my family and friends with HTC and all others buy Samsung.
WiFi Direct didn't work on my One X and I'm really VERY disappointing to know that it doesn't work on One too. All Samsung phones around me have built-in WIFI DIRECT option when they try to share a pic or a video. We don't have anything in our 'share' menu.
I tried using FAST FILE TRANSFER app on my phone. It works like a charm on any phone and transfer 1gig of data within 5 minutes. BUT it's not for me AGAIN! I ran the app and the error came up saying, "wifi hotspot not working on your device. This is how it is implemented in the OS and don't rate the app bad."
I got outta app and turned hotspot on manually and guess what! NO OTHER MOBILE PHONE is able to connect to my HTC One's wifi hotspot. They find the network and get stuck on getting IP ADDRESS.
Wifi hotspot worked in previous devices. Instead of making other stuff work we now have a not-working-hotspot.
I really am a die hard HTC fan but how will HTC get users when they won't care for this petty issue. All samsung around me NEVER use BT unless they're to deal with me.
Is there any way I can use WiFi Direct and WiFi Hotspot on my One?
WiFi Hotspot, if works, will do the job for me because FAST FILE TRANSFER will solve WiFi Direct issue.

WiFi hotspot uses default hotspot and that doesn't work. I was able to transfer data with LAN but both devices should've ES EXPLORER right? I already use ES so this is convenient for me as long as I'm at home because we all use ES as a file manager. But the transfer speed is only ~2MBps.
As a work around at home I use SOFTWARE DATA CABLE app and that gives me around 5-7MBps speed. Still it needs to be on both devices.
So any of this isn't practically possible when I'm trying to transfer data to my colleague or friend.

wifi hotspot works on both my one x and one, I tried superbeam, I could send a file from my one to my one x but not from my one x to my one
also think a 600 eur phone should have a working wifi direct. Shame HTC

I'm having a very similar problem. I've used my HTC One to tether its 3G to my laptop several times, but it suddenly stopped working. My MacBook can recognize the network and even connect to it (sort of) but it says "no internet connection". Furthermore, the WiFi direct apps also have stopped working (I'm guessing the issue might be related). I used to use an app called "Flash Transfer". I've tried several different apps from the Play store, none of them work. It just says "Connecting" and the finally gives up and fails.
This is really very frustrating, especially since I got it to work before. I don't know what changed!

See that's the point. Now if I'm sitting in a cafe and need to transfer 200MB video I shot last night at a party I'll be forced to take my laptop out and transfer the video to laptop and then connect friend's phone to laptop.
Samsung users will select 'share' > 'WiFi Direct' > 'Send'
I can't make anyone else install the app in order to make WD work. Infact why should even I install it. It should work out of the box.
Never bought Samsung and never will but this thing is really pissing me off that only I use BT and no on else around me.

The hotspot on this phone works just fine. It's something on your phone. Could be a hardware issue, you need to do a factory reset or reflash with your RUU. I have had no problems with my hotspot on my One, or on my One X.
Also, if you're running a stock rom thats from a carrier, they like to mess with the hotspot functionality.

Hotspot stopped working on One X when it came to 4.1.1. I don't have that phone any longer so not an issue. How could this be a HW issue?

I'm having an issue connecting other devices to my hotspot via wireless tether on my HTC One M8. I'm currently on ViperOne 1.3.1 ROM, stock kernel. The devices I try to share my network with (ps3, 360, iPhone, M7) will pair with my phone with no problem but it won't let any device connect to my network. Can someone please help me?
I also have an htc one M7, also ViperOne ROM but have no issues tethering other devices to that device.
have you done this with any other device? as far as i know hotspot is just an internet bridge and doesn't create a lan, basically it treats all devices conected as one... i might be wrong though, but even when i had legal hotspot on my old verizon contract i wouldnt get a lan just Internet
