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.

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

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.
ok so im getting the nook this afternoon (if ups comes through) and ive been thinking one big compromise i made over the galaxy tab was 3g. I would love to use this in places other than the ones with wifi. I have an HTC heroC and the wireless card does not support being a wireless hotspot, so i am forced to use apps like barnacle wifi teather but the speeds are horrible. Now that we have BT working on the nook (thx devs!) could i use PDA net's "Bluetooth teather" option to tie my nook to my phones 3g?
The bluetooth isn't working on the nook. (the hacked roms have it barely working)
The only thing you can do is connect it thru wifi. I've got a Motorola Cliq and can turn my phone into a wifi hot spot that my nook can access.

Actually this is completely incorrect. CM7 roms have it working relatively well. I cann get about 6 feet of distance with it now so if your holding your nook and your phones in your pocket I dont see why it wouldn't work.

HI,
Sounds like some people have a non-user friendly method of getting Bluetooth
tethering running from Nook Color running CM7 to cell phone via bluetooth.
Haven't tried it myself yet. See these threads in developer section:

Not to mention that the absolute last way CyanogenMod should be referred to is "hacked."
I'm still on CM7 19 and bluetooth is working well! However, I have not gotten BT tethering working at all (haven't tried much, bcuz wifi works well for me). Wondering why you get such bad speeds via WiFi tether? I have an OG Droid and I get good speeds.
I suggest trying out Wifi tether first and see how it works.
I'm hoping someone can answer my related question here about my phone.
I currently have the Samsung Moment, and no matter what ROM I use for my NC, I can't get it to see my tethered connection in the Available Networks.
My NC can see my friend's tethered connection on his HTC Touch Pro 2, and Nexus One, so I have a feeling it's got something to do with my phone.
Anyone with experience with the Samsung Moment--do you have any input as to a ROM that might make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Most of the NC ROMS do not support Ad-hoc wifi networks right off the bat. If you're not sure if you have an ad-hoc network or not, try and tether your phone to your computer and you should be able to tell on there. If it is an ad-hoc issue, follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354
I too have a HTC HeroC and both it and my Nook are running CM7, AOSP build for the phone and Phiremods build for the nook. I have no problem using Wireless Tether to use my phone as a hotspot, I do so just about every day at work to brows the internet on lunch, speeds have been fine, can watch Youtube stuff and listen to internet radio just fine.
I use Wifi Tethering for Root Users on my Epic and it works great with my NC.
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?

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.
Hi all,
I have tried Barnacle, OpenGarden and Google (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) tethering apps, and nothing is working for me. My laptop and PC have either shown me connected with either limited connectivity (and no actual internet access) or today with Google's app my laptop said I was connected to a signal-less ad-hoc network...odd I know. Regardless, wifi tether is not working and I have no understanding why. Oddly enough, whenever any of these apps is started and tethering is initiated, the Moto tether icon pops up in the notification bar as if it's waiting to be activated, so that sort of tells me that something isn't right.
I've otherwise had no problems with rooting or the rom, as everything else root I've tried has worked just fine. I'm on .902, rooted, SU, and using the latest Eclipse Rom with safestrap and it's been a smooth ride up until this tether (or lack thereof) issue.
Anyone have any insights on this issue I'm having?
MANY thanks in advance!
Sorry, and just to clarify I have used these apps before on my rooted Eris with no issue. It's only now on the bionic I'm not getting and signal, despite the apps seemingly working (each says they are working).
Thanks!
