Now that the Droid 3 has been rooted, has anyone tried any wifi tether apps?
I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether but neither will work. Anyone having any luck?
Are you sure Wifi Tether app isnt working? I just rooted my droid 3, and installed wifi tether, and it seems to be working.
There IS a hotspot hack out there that i read in this forum...maybe start a topic asking for Hotspot Hack Droid 3 because i know theres a couple guys that know about it on thisa forum, and a few say that its even better of an app than wifi tether or barnacle and really cool. good luck
I think the stock hotspot app is causing issues, mine keeps saying it loses 3G connectivity.. But then again I am overseas right now, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Wish I could easily remove Mobile Hotspot and try again.. But it appears that it's integrated into Blur, so it's not as easy as freezing the APK.
Neither Barnacle or Wifi Tethering are working on my D3. Pretty sure they did not work for me prior to the recent OTA update and they still do not work. Has anyone had any luck with wifi tether on a rooted D3?
from what ive been reading, you need to do the TBH radio hack. it works no prob
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182940
I can second, the TBH hack works sweet and is easy to do.
Neither Barnacle or WiFi Tether should work without modding the phone's radio. With the radio hack, all data used looks like mobile data whereas it does not, and thus is blocked, when using Barnacle or WiFi Tether.
I'm looking to do the wifi hack with tbh however before i got changing anything i tried to just launch the mobile hotspot on the phone to see the message that comes up and when i go to check the box to turn it on it errors out with a process.com.android error message or something like that and i havent touched any files yet.anyone have any ideas?
figured it out, guess when i restored all my settings last time, it never changed something back to the way it should have been, oh well got it going now, now to try this hack.

Once you do the TBH hack, head over to the Dev area of the D3 forum (IIRC) and get the tethering app. It's more configurable than the stock Mobile Hotspot app.

First off, I have tried searching for this issue, but haven't had any luck, so I thought I would give this new thread a go.
I am trying to connect via my G1's (ok Rogers Dream to be more specific) wifi internet connection but having no luck. It was working once upon a time, I guess a few variables have changed, mainly my flashing between many different ROMs. Either case I have noticed this issue only recently, on a HERO Rom, and Cyan 4.0.1.
I am able to tether through my Phone Data Plan (3G), no issues. But for Wifi, as soon as I click "Start", my phone turns off my wifi and auto. turns on 3G.
Anyone have any ideas? My last resort is to due a full restore on my phone, I was hoping there is a more simple solution. Also, I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app.
Thanks

Did you restart the phone? This happens every now and then, and a restart will fix it.
Hey, I had to apk's fo rthis the signed_andtether_1_52-pre2.apk did not work. The file labeled Signed_andtetehr_1_52.apk works everytime.

Wait, wait, wait.
You have a Wireless Connection available, why are you tethering your G1? Can't your laptop just pick up the wireless connection? I am confused.

Exactly. lol. Well what the program does is disable your wifi so you can tether using your data connection. Thats the purpose of the program. So from the way you presented your information, you want to tether using your phones wifi connection to access the wifi router from your laptop?
Well, if your laptop (or other device) only has bluetooth, you can use Wireless Tethering for Root Users to share the phone's WIFI connection over the bluetooth connection. If that is what you are trying to accomplish.... not sure.

Haha, busted. Ok, well I don't necessarily need to go through my Wifi of my phone, because yes I have it on my laptop. I just know it used to work, now it doesn't.
Secondly, to the suggestion of rebooting my phone, well I would assume that installing a new ROM would constitute a reboot. Also reinstalling the apk would probably do the same, still though, nothing fixed it.
Sometimes my depending where I am in my house I put my phone halfway between my router and my laptop to strengthen my laptop signal, so, using it as an access point.
I'm rooted and trying to tether thru Open garden wifi, bluetooth and also barnacle.
None of them are working (connect to the network but no internet).
The phone still has internet but when I open the browser it takes me to the VZW tethering plans webpage
How about EasyTether, can't try it now

Same thing happened to me. I tried using the Wireless Tether for Root Users app and after running it and trying to tether a laptop, I got the VZW tethering redirect page even on the Droids browser. Had to reboot the phone to get 3G internet access back.
I think it may be something with the fact that the wireless hotspot still exists on the phone. and I'd also speculate that this may be why it's so tough to eliminate it once root was acquired. Just a thought

EasyTether seems to work, not really wifi tether (it's USB) - but it's better then nothing.

Wait until Custom Roms
Wifi tether won't work because of the motorola tethering software they have installed on that stock rom I'd imagine. Until SPRecovery is ported and Custom Roms are available to keep the Droid 3 from receiving that Verizon notice in the browser I'd think we'll have to wait for tethering unless other apps exist to circumvent that notice.
SPrecovery is ancient history from D1 days and is not likely to be ported to anything.
Koush's Clockworkmod. Bootstrap recovery is the one that will almost certainly be ported to the D3 as it has been for almost all recent Motorola devices with locked bootloaders.
This has been done, root is irrelevant but its a bit more complicated than an app download.

This hack doesn't seem to work any longer. I can connect maybe for a minute or two but then VZW shuts off 3G data. I believe that they have closed this exploit.

Something else screwy must be goin on with your device. Signal issue maybe? I am writing this post tethered on the stock hotspot app with the modified radio code. This mod also works great on my Droid X2, although that one is rooted and rommed.
Stock Droid 3
No Root
Mine shows the VZW hotspot active when i run any tether apps. Odd.

Yes, PDAnet still seems to work... But I guess PDAnet just looks like any old application running on the phone?

I have a very strange problem with my Droid 3 XT862. I've owned it for about a month and right after purchase I rooted and did the TBH radio hack, which worked like a charm. As of last week, though, my wireless tether no longer works. I have tried the built in Mobile Hotspot, Wireless Tether for Root Users, and Barnacle. The only thing that happens is that my computer connects to an unidentified network and will not truly connect to the internet. After this began to happen, I reapplied the TBH hack, but it is still not working. I read around the forums a little bit and heard about CM7 not requiring the hack, so I safestrapped and flashed to it, but the wireless tether still does the same thing. Is there anything I can do to fix this? PDANet still works, but it drains my battery insanely fast.
My XT862's cdma network is not working.
3g and 1x are all wrong.
I can't use them.
but the wifi works correctly.
I flash some roms which downloaded from internet, but 3g and 1x still not work
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

it worked. read below.
did you did something? like trying androidtether?
well i dont know how tethering works. but usually i have seen that tether shares a adhoc network. in the case of the droid 3, it makes an infraestructure network, like having a router.
well while trying the androidtether app in Gingerbread, (which i imported from ICS build, dumb me i know) (in ICS creates i think an adhoc because kerner dont allow native tether) well when i tried that it BROKE my tethering capabilities. i think it switched an internal chip and is not solved by reloading the software software.
summarizing. after 2 SBF and seeing it didint corrected the issue, i installed varios market alternatives including the official ANDROIDTETHER en market, setup and loaded each one of them (barnacle too). the last one was ANDROIDtether. i think this one did the trick, as after not working i uninstalled everything and retried the native one. and it worked.
now i can tether
hope it helps.
Hello,
I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.
Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.
I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod
I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others
Enable WiFi Encryption is off
WiFi-driver reload is turned on
With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.
Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?
I also tried the fix described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2266268
Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Pretty frustrating. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I haven't tried the other tether apps. If you fix it, please post here with your settings and hopefully it will work for me.
Try and install a custom Rom the stock Rom might have disabled WiFi tethering via 3rd party apps

Try this...HERE it worked for me.
Now that we have root back, I tried using Wifi Tether but it wont start correctly. all the other apps out there keep triggering the AT&T checker which then kicks it back off. Miss the old days when the tether widget trick worked. Anyway, does anyone know what settings to change to make WiFi tether work? Or if there is a particular version we need for our phones?
Aww, meant to post this in the questions forum. Can an admin move it please?

Have you tried freezing the system app called "tetheringprovision"?
Yep. Froze it using Titanium and now it gets a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" when I try turning tethering on.
Tried FoxFi as well. It was able to start without any errors but it's not broadcasting anything.
Nevermind. Got it to work using another app. Luckly I only need it once in a while so the pain to turn it on and off doesnt bother me.
Do wish AT&T didnt make such a fuss about tethering with the unlimited plan (yay grandfathered plan!)
