If you've always wanted to use your Android phone as a hot spot, there's a new solution available to you.
ClockworkMod has created an app that makes your Android and computer work together to share Internet service. This is a great alternative to expensive carrier fees, or tethering apps from the Android Market that simply can't deliver. Tethering used to be a rather painless process, so here's how to bring back that simplicity:
Step 1: Turn your Android's USB debugging on and plug your phone into your computer.
This is found in Settings > Applications > Development. Just click the box next to USB debugging.
Step 2: Download the Tethering client for your operating system from ClockworkMod.
