Im not sure how long the trial period lasts but I have only had it installed for a couple weeks..doesnt seem to operate as well as I would like. A few cruicial sites I need to access are very slow and or glitchy


theres another way to use wifi tethering, works on rooted and non rooted phones, and runs pretty quick. uses proxoid, allows access to secure sites also.
if you want to try it PM me and ill send you the info on it. it DOES require you install the SDK tools on your computer however.


works on 1.5 and 2.1 and is free btw.

I suggest easytether. It has the same restriction in that https sites will eventually be blocked. It costs $9.99 if you want the paid version. If you are on Android version 1.5, you can root your phone and turn it into a wifi access point.

I saw your post and gave proxoid a try installation was easy and fast, testmy.net showed a .5Mb/s Speed.

Done on my Eris 1,5 with no hacks/root

were you able to set it up all the way, setting up the path through the proxy yadda yadda yadda?

and .5Mb/s......is that fast? i dont pay attention to speed unless im not getting enough of it.
for me ive never had a problem with it, its just slightly slower than my normal wifi, which is pretty damn fast to begin with

Yea I followed all the steps took less then 10 mins from beginning to end .5MB/s is pretty slow, about 500Kb/s connection standard high speed connection is 5.0MB/s and up But definately usable
