EasyTether for Android and BlackBerry, the latest updates add Bluetooth tethering

Last week we released several updates for EasyTether components, both on Android and BlackBerry platforms.

The computer-side software for Windows was completely rewritten to improve performance (both in latency and throughput) and increase compatibility with the latest Android devices.

EasyTether now supports Bluetooth tethering for Windows (Linux support will follow shortly).

Responding to heavy demand, next weeks we will extend the range of supported architectures for Linux and *BSD platforms (ARM and PowerPC for sure, others may follow).

EasyTether for Android is available at Google Play Store and on our website

EasyTether for BlackBerry 10, USB support will be released next week.

We have uploaded a new release of the EasyTether computer-side software for Windows.

The main change is the preparation for the USB tethering support for BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

The correspondingly updated version of the smartphone-side app is scheduled for release next week.

It will allow you to tether your BlackBerry 10 to Windows computers/notebooks.

EasyTether: Tether BlackBerry 10 to Android tablets

EasyTether now allows you to share Internet connection from your BlackBerry 10 smartphone with Android 4.x tablets. Currently it works via Bluetooth. USB tethering will follow later.

Please note that BlackBerry World appstore does not allow us to mention the word "Android" in the app description, so again, please note that BB10 tethering works with Android 4.x tablets only. 

The following BlackBerry 10 devices are supported: BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Q5, BlackBerry Z10, BlackBerry Z30.

EasyTether for BlackBerry 10 can be downloaded from BlackBerry World.

Note that you need to install EasyTether Tablet on your Android tablet as well. This is a free app for Android tablets. EasyTether Tablet can be downloaded from Google Play Store. If you have a Kindle Fire tablet, then download EasyTether Tablet from Amazon.

Email our support team if you have any difficulties. 

Email us if you need Mac OS X or Windows tethering for BlackBerry 10.

EasyTether and Verizon

First and foremost, Verizon does not block EasyTether. Please do not listen to some ignorant bloggers.

EasyTether still works fine on all Verizon phones because it is a complete tethering re-implementation and it does not depend on any Verizon tethering features.

The only real problem is that EasyTether is now invisible in the Android Market for Verizon phone users.

However, carriers cannot prevent you from using third-party tethering apps because of the latest FCC tether rulings.

If you are an existing EasyTether customer who wants to re-download the application to your Verizon phone, please tell us your order number (see here on how to restore it) or just forward your purchase receipt to us. We'll arrange an alternative download link for you. Our support email is support(at)mobile-stream(dot)com

If you use the Lite version and want to purchase the full app, please go to our EasyTether purchase page.
