Hotspot Android – Donut 1.6

Finally, I’ve successfully enabled web browsing over a 3G connection on Android (version 1.6, codenamed Donut). Achieving this required a series of steps:

1. Gain root access on your device.
2. Install the android-wifi-tether application, which can be found at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/.
3. Configure the application to work with either Bluetooth or wireless connections.
4. Upon configuration, you’ll see the hotspot’s SSID, allowing you to connect to it and access the internet on your other devices.

Please note that if you’re using a kernel without the netfilter module, you may encounter issues with NAT (Network Address Translation), causing DNS to function but HTTP/HTTPS to fail. To overcome this, you can follow these additional steps:

5. Install the Proxoid application.
6. Configure Proxoid as a proxy on your devices, enabling you to start browsing seamlessly.

By following these steps, you can make web browsing on your Android device through a 3G connection a reality.
