Default Wifi Hotspot app for Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I thought this wifi hotspot app may be useful - it doesn't require root or a monthly subscription, and it has a hotspot widget too. It works with ICS Galaxy Nexus.

Search android market for "Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether" by SVTP or use these links:

Paid version $9.99 - 5 day money back guarantee
market.android.com/details?id=com.svtechpartners.wifihotspot

Free trial -2 days

Default thanks

Thanks, this is a great stop-gap till a good stable rom with fixed wifi tether comes out!

worked Gnex 4.0.2 12/20/11
(mine and my gf's)

Just like all wifi tether it will pop up and say limited connectivity (no IP) but if you give it a few min and dont mess with it, it will refresh and share a valid IP.

Does this app work for 4G connection? It seems to turn off the radio for LTE and only enable 3G.

I'm on Verizon CDMA and it works fine for me.

I pay for the feature though.

It works for me. You just need tethering on your account.

Anyone who's hesitating to root their phone should try this app. Works flawlessly for me over the Xmas weekend away from home!!!

I can confirm that Wifi tether 3.1 beta 9 works on kejar's Gummy Nexus 3.0.

And for those wondering - No, I do not subscribe to VZ's Hotspot service.
