Enabling WiFi HotSpot in Google Nexus S I have a Google Nexus S with Android 2.3 in it. I want to tether/or enable Wifi HotSpot in it. 
Do I have to root my phone? 

How should I proceed? 

Thanks!
No, you don't need to have your phone rooted to enable a portable hotspot.

Not quite sure why it isn't working for you, but here are the reasons it hasn't worked for me at various times.


No cell data connection. I've tried using the hotspot as a relay to another wi-fi network without any success. The original wi-fi connection is shut down.
Misconfigured wi-fi security on the attaching devices.
