Pre 15 works fine for me too and I have tried a lot of wireless tether APKS!
quantum 2.5 rom with ext4 support! FTW GPS AND EVERYTHING WORKING PHONE IS FLYING!
I assume your talking about "wireless tether for root users", only because you said you were using pre 15. If this is the case, i would recommend using the newly released market version 2.0.5, fully working on the epic.
If you are still unable to use it on windows 7, I would recommend updating the wifi drivers on your PC to the newest version, as this resolved a connection issue on my sony laptop.
Peace!

ok im having some troubles with wifi tethering. i have tried barnacle and i cant even get my laptops to detect the network im broadcasting with my phone. when i use wireless tether for root i can get a connection but its not a good connection at all. i cant even get google to load. im using damage control 2.09.01 on a sprint hero... thanks in advance for any help... also i need this working hopefully before Saturday as i go on vacation and my hero was going to be the internet for my laptop
Probably belongs in the Q&A section, no?
Yes, should go in q&a, but, barnacle is a no go for heros, and make sure you use wireless tether 1.6 (do not get from market, get from google code website)

I haven't tried 2.02, although I believe it was made for evo specifically, but may work fine. Before, though, only 1.6 worked for heros

It was only happening to me on the OC Roms. I tried without the OC Rom and it works as it should.

What ROM are you using. I think it only locks on the .29 kernel, more so for the DC based ROMs.

I'm having problems with my wifi-tethering can anyone help me? I went ahead and installed wifi tether 2.0.2 on top of the stock 1.6 that came and since this thing has gone crap. I have found 1.06 but even after installing it, it won't work. Any suggestions? Rom I have is PureHero 2.1 Maps/Overclocked.

Using purehero 2.1 I always get unable to start tether with every version of wifi tether except 1.6. However with 1.6 it overheats the phone, even when underclocking, and when I try to shut it off it freezes the phone and reboots. If I try to end tether in autokiller the icon goes away but the phone is still tethering. Ended up tethering all night one night and my son was on watching anime on his ipod touch. When I got up in the morning and grabbed my phone I thought it was on fire.
So which ROMs does 2.0.2 or 2.0.5 work on? I really need to fix the overheating issue as I live in Arizona and at this time of the year it is difficult to keep things from over heating on their own lol.
Thanks

Any Rom that isn't OC'd for sure. and I think any Rom that isn't the DC .29 kernel. Havent been able to actually confirm that though just my theory.
Edit: actually my statement was for 1.6. 2. 0. 2 is still in experimental stage for the hero

The option to uninstall wasn't there for pure hero 2.0.9 or whatever I have. Anyway, I just deleted the APK, then installed 2.0.2 and it still didn't work. However I was then able to properly uninstall 2.0.2 so when I installed 2.0.5 it worked. Works good now, only thing I have noticed is that I changed the SSID but it doesn't actually change.
Thanx for the help but I just went back to rom that's not oc

I just rooted a phone on .5 stock firmware. Wireless tether from the market and pre 9 both install fine and start fine... but on other devices i dont see the network showing up. Is there a modified version or one that works good with stock? Thanks

it shares the network in ad-hoc mode. Android phones by default can't see that unless they have a modified wpa supplicant. Iphone's and pc's can use it, buy game systems can't either. And apparently, neither can chrome os, damnit...
First off, Noob to D3. Since root has not been achieved, I'm using easy tether on my ancient IBM Thinkpad with XP. Problem I'm having is me and my wife both have Droid 3 and it won't let us change phones for tethering. I was rocking it with mine after the initial install but after installing it on my wifes, the computer wouldn't recognize hers as a connection. So I uninstalled both the app and computer program, used hers to reinstall, now hers works and the computer won't recognize mine. Any ideas?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
would it be due to the fact that both phones have different device ID's, MAC address's? might have to make a quick link to your windows registry location for easy tether to swap ID's or MAC addys... just an idea
I'll give out a try, thanks!

Anyone have problems getting their touchpad to find a mobile hotspot from your android phone? If not, what app do you use? I'm rooted and have tried open garden and one other that I forgot the name of. Both didn't show up on my touchpad when scanning for a wifi connection.

Ok, I'm bringing this back up because I still havent really found a way to wifi tether with my Droid X2. I have done some research since posting this thread and found out that my Droid X2 only puts out an ad hoc connection which the TouchPad doesnt recognize. I have came across a couple possibilities though.
One is a patch that modifies wpa_supplicant. Not really sure what or where that is since I just found it and havent been able to play around with my TouchPad yet. But I think that patch is device specific and needs to be modifies IF it is to work for the TouchPad. Not sure. Here is a couple links.

Patch on XDA:

Another possibility and probably the easiest fix is downloading the app "zt 180 ad hoc wifi switcher" from the play store.

I will try the app when I get around to messing with my TouchPad which might not even be until tomorrow. But if anyone else tries either of these methods (or any other that works) and has success, please let me know.
Try Wifi tether for root, they have in the Google store. I have not used the latest one but if you have problems with it go to there web site and find the 3.0-pre12. I use that on my Droid Charge and have not had any problems.

I've tried a bunch of wifi hotspots apps, including wifi tether. The problem is my phone only puts out an ad hoc network which doesn't show up on the touchpad. I don't know what the Droid charge puts out.

I use foxfi and use the wifi and bluetooth options
You need an app to access the hotspot from your phone? I always just turn my phone's hotspot on and connect to it, never knew you needed an app. Interesting. Done this on gingerbread and ICS roms for my Inspire 4g.
Dunno what to tell ya... I have an SGS 2, a Dell Streak 5 and a 7 and A Galaxy Note... on all of those the only thing I use is the native hotspot tether with no issues with them putting out a signal to any other device I have
Maybe you oughta look at some type of wpa_supplicant tweak for the Droid X2, not the TouchPad, that you may need to implement to get tethering functioning correctly

Well I managed to get it working with pdanet on the touchpad and foxfi on my phone. But that's the only way it works. Weird. At least it works one way though.

Hello,
My TB is not rooted. What do you think is the best app for doing wireless tethering? Setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot, I guess.... I'm using a windows 7 PC.
Just do a search for "tether" in the Google Play Store.. I'm rooted.. but the free "clockworkmod (no root)".. looked like it might do the trick, it uses Usb instead of WiFi.
I found the stock app from Verizon to work well before they axed the ability to use it without paying for the service. It was very easy to set up the SSID and password and even monitor the connected devices IIRC.
Root ur phone ur missing out on so much

I tried out clockworkmod's Tether. It works pretty well, although it does disconnect every once in a while, and it's USB, so my bandwidth is limited by that. Also, it's not as convenient as WiFi.
ArmyAg08-
Yes, this is kind of the type of thing I'm looking for. Not Verizon though.

I'm not quite ready to root this phone yet. But when I do, what would you recommend for a WiFi tether?
Have you tried 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root?
If you go to the play store and search no root tether, it should be the second option down.
I know several people who use this and are satisfied with it.
If you do root your phone in the future, I recommend either WiFi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle WiFi Tether.

I usually use the default one on the custom ROM or wireless tether which both work very nicely and run smoothly.

1-Click Wifi Tether No Root apparently does not work on HTC phones. If anyone knows a workaround to this, please let me know, as 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root seems to be a great app.
And thanks for the info about the rooted apps -- I may try them in the future
I forgot about that. Lol. They don't have HTC phones.
Anyways, just search no root tether in play store and try what's available.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, there seems to be NO way to utilize the WiFi Hotspot Tether on HTC Thunderbolt anymore, rooted or not.
All of the existing WIFI tether apps do not do anything on HTC Thunderbolt. I've tried them all, on multiple ROMs.
The ONLY things I've found that still work are the PRO versions of EasyTether and PdaNet, via USB cord.
I'm still trying to get the bluetooth tether for PdaNet to work, but so far without much success.
I can't wait until next year to get a new phone that I can actually root and wifi-hotspot again.
According to the Foxfi app it's an HTC block not TB specific. That being said I blue tooth tether with no issues at all both CM7 and with Sense roms. I don't even use a special app with CM7 just make devices discoverable and pair, BAM! some native Bluetooth tether automatically kicks in on CM7 and with Sense I use the Foxfi app and follow the blutooth tether instructions. Make sure your devices have tun.ko installed (use tun.ko installer app in the play store). My tablet didn't (asus transformer tf101) so I had to and root is required to do it.

Just checked and Open garden teather works fine on my rooted Tbolt.
It had tried a number of others in the past and they had issues tethering my Asus tablet. Open Garden was about the only one that worked.

Same here, I'm at 60gigs and counting. I think the most I've use back in Jan was 145 gigs. My wireless tether works just fine without an issue. Something must be wrong with script on those peoples phones that can't use wireless tether on rooted Tbolt.

Hi there guys,
Which ROMS are you running on your TBolts? I am running Synergy, and like I say it was working up until a couple of weeks back, and now no go. Perhaps I need to switch ROMS or something. I find it strange that several of us are having issue. At any rate, it is very interesting indeed.
Thanks in advance,
Stat
