Droid 3 and easy tether

[pistacio]

Just got easy tether working with my D3, had to install some drivers on my PC. This makes my itch for root go away for a little while.

If anyone has trouble connecting, the easy tether website FAQ has a link to motorola's website for the drivers. Also, make sure USB is in mass storage mode, and debugging enabled.

Tried the built in tether app for the D3 and my browser pops up with a verizon page wanting me to pay monthly for service. Is there a free way to do this or is feeding verizon another 20 bucks a month the only way?

Easy tether is $9.99, one time fee.

Will easy tether work for tethering my Xoom to my D3??

I might be wrong about this but using easy tether requires a USB cable. So for the Xoom you need a micro to micro USB cable as the Xoom does not have a full-size USB port. PDANet has bluetooth tether capabilities if I am not mistaken.

Ok cool thanks, I'll give that a try.

Easy Tether is working extremely well with the D3. I was using it up in Montana and getting pretty decent load times, then again I was in a small town where reception was crap at best.
Overall I would say get Easy Tether, its the best one I have used.

I live out here in MT, and there are no big towns...
