You can configure the Droid X to share its cellular
data network connection with as many as eight other
devices. Those devices connect wirelessly with your
Droid, accessing a shared 3G network just like a
laptop computer or other mobile device accesses a
Wi-Fi network.
1. Touch the Launcher button on the Home
screen.
The Applications Tray opens.
2. From the Applications Tray, open the 3G Mobile
Hotspot icon.
You may see text describing the process. If so,
dismiss the text.
3. Touch the 3G Mobile Hotspot check box to
place a green check mark.
A warning message appears, recommending
that you plug your Droid X into a power source
because the 3G mobile hotspot feature sucks
down a lot of battery juice.
4. Touch the OK button to dismiss the warning.
If you've not yet set up a 3G mobile hotspot,
you need to supply some information.
5. Input a password for your Droid X hotspot.
The password must be applied, and it must be
at least eight characters long. Give this
password to the people you want to share your
cellular network with.
6. Touch the OK or Save button to save your
settings and set up the hotspot.
When the 3G hotspot is active, a Mobile
Hotspot Service status icon appears. You can
then access the hotspot using any computer or
mobile device that has Wi-Fi capabilities.
To turn off the 3G hotspot, open the 3G Mobile
Hotspot app and remove the green check mark. Also,
keep these points in mind:
Whether your Droid X allows for 3G data
sharing depends on your cellular carrier. Some
carriers may limit that ability, and others may
charge extra.
You cannot activate 3G network sharing and
use a Wi-Fi connection at the same time on the
Droid X.
To change the hotspot settings, press the
Menu soft button when using the 3G Mobile
Hotspot app. (You have to stop the service
first.) Choose Advanced and then choose Wifi
AP Mode. You can change the device name,
security, password, and channel. Touch the
Save button to confirm the new set
data network connection with as many as eight other
devices. Those devices connect wirelessly with your
Droid, accessing a shared 3G network just like a
laptop computer or other mobile device accesses a
