The original WiFi Hotspot feature, known as FoxFi, is still available as a separate app in the Play Store. However, it no longer functions on many newer phone models due to carrier updates.
USB mode works on all Android phones except for some ZTE/Alcatel models. Additionally, Bluetooth mode can be used to connect to Windows, although WiFi Direct mode is preferred.
The PdaNet software has been around since 2003 and has over 30 million downloads. It's primarily useful for people whose data plans don't allow them to turn on the mobile hotspot feature on their phone or whose hotspot usage is metered. The free version has timed usage limits, but it is otherwise the same as the full version.
