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

Android Wifi Tether has a new build out, that now supports Motorola Droid Bionic & RAZR. We need confirmation that it works on Droid 3/Milestone 3...
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-pre104.apk
For Droid 3: Everything should be automatic and "just work". If not, let me know.
For Milestone 3: You should be able to get things working by selecting the Droid 3 profile in the settings screen. I would like to get everything working automatically for all the different Milestone 3 variants, so what I would need to do that is:
Model Name: example, Motorola Droid RAZR (you guys are like xt860, etc...)
ro.product.device from build.prop: example, cdma_spyder
Thanks
I used it, it allows tethering, but it pulls up the verizon screen to pay for the service.

Do you have the RadioComm edit? Looks like VZW did you Droid3 guys like Droid X with the GB update. It should properly work with the RadioComm edit, or a source built ROM like CM7, just like Droid X... It gives you a far more configurable interface than the built in tethering app. Thanks for testing!
Any non-VZW folks out there wanna give this a try?
Just tested on my Droid 3 tethered it to my tablet and it works great. Running .890 cm7 10/16 build.

I'll try this here soon. I'm getting the VZW screen even after the radio hack, so I might as well try this app. I'm also on the 5.7.894 leak and I wonder if the new kernel and baseband have anything to do with this screen appearing?

No luck here on rooted and debloated 5.7.894.

You have to redo the radiocomm edit after applying the leaked update because is flashes the new radio.

I haven't tested that it works or not but for my ME863 (Milestone 3 Hong Kong version) ro.product.device is umts_solana.
One question I have is, how do I remove its binaries? I noticed after I ran it that my device already includes a "Mobile hotspot" binary, which actually popped up when I turned on WiFi Tether, so I'm hoping they don't interfere with each other...
I see a "reinstall" button but no "uninstall" button. I assume it wouldn't have overwritten anything that was already installed, right?

Great I'll hopefully get that device info in for the next build, if not, should still be soon... for now the Droid 3, targa or razr profile should work for you.
Don't quote me 100% on this, as I am not the lead developer, just the guy focused on bringing Infrastructure mode to as many devices as possible... But, I believe both android wifi tether and the stock hotspot use the same prop entry to let the system know that tethering is on. So, when AWT fires up, the built in hotspot thinks you've turned it on. Tethering should still work properly.
I'm still new to the project, so hopefully I'll be able to help refine things... Hostapd support is somewhat new to android-wifi-tether... Harald and I first getting it functioning on DroidX around new years. I had to step back from nerding out on android for a bit. I'm back now, though... And ready to make a huge impact... When version 3 hits the market, it will be monumental!
Latest build... Sorry, should have put this link here in the first place.

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.
Original Source:
http://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
Patch on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755254
Another possibility and probably the easiest fix is downloading the app "zt 180 ad hoc wifi switcher" from the play store.
video link:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

I have a Droid 3 rooted running Mavrick rom 4.5 based on android version 2.3.4. On a Verizon unlimited contract.
I used to use the android tether app all the time, but when I tried to use it today it started but when i opened a browser, Verizon asked me to pay for tethering. I use the WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-beta2 version.
After doing some research I found that this is an old issue from 2011, but i'm positive i've used this app since then. I'm not sure . Is there some sort or fix for this? or is there a better app that creates a hotspot/ad-hoc network such as this one??
Please if this has been answered, excuse my ignorance, and point me in the correct direction.
Thanks so much

Try toggling airplane mode on then off while tethering or just download foxfi free in the market works well
