Derekl Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Can anyone help please? I have an HTC Sensation and an IPAD. The Sensation is connected to UK Orange and I have a databundle on that contract. I can connect the two together but I can't access the data. I have done a bit of digging around and it seems that Orange are now the only ones who don't allow tethering. All otheres including Vodaphone now allow. If this is the case surely rooting and adding tethering software is the way to go? Can anyone confirm? I assume I will need to Root and put on some tethering software. The question I am asking is what is the minimum I can do to achieve this. I am not bothered about adding new ROM's etc. Unless there is a good reason. So what are the minimum steps and what software/instructions would anyone reccomend Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 All you would need to do is root your phone and then find a tethering program and you should be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekl Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Great that's what I hoped. Thanks for confirming that Can you reccomend the easiest way to root a Sensation. Not the XE or 4G, Just the basic model Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This page might help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137323 XDA is a good place to ask questions about your specific phone. I do not own a Sensation so I cannot tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FU3L Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Or...perhaps you don't need to go that far even. Ever tried this? https://market.andro...hikdutta.tether edit: Although that may not help for the iPad since its physically tethered...my bad. Great app for non-root users otherwise though.

Derekl Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi, Am I correct in saying that that Clockwork Mod Tether is just for USB? Do you know of one for Wireless? Also in order to use tethering software do I just need to change s-Off or will I need a full root Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I believe S-Off is Full Root. What you want to be able to do is allow your phone to give you access to Superuser. You can download the app I think it is free. Wireless Tether needs Superuser access in order for the application to run. My WiFi Tether Program is just called Wireless Tether. The huge benefit of rooting your phone and installing a ROM is that "normally" the ROM you put on your phone will have Wireless Tether App built right in.
