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...
What wireless tether app is everyone using? I am currently trying the 2.0.8 off their google code page, but it works very sporadically.
Anyone have a good method for this?
Thanks!
Barnacle works great get on the android market

Try "A WiFi Tether AP Mesh Client" by Open Garden, Open Source. It worked great for me.
I have 2.0.6 I haven't tried it on 4G yet but not sure if that matters. Worked perfectly.

Ya if you go into wireless settings there's a new option, just check it and its a wireless hotspot so you don't need the app

Barnacle is VERY slow... most I got on a speed test was 1.5mb on my desktop. The built in wireless tether just doesnt work. Never connects.
the built in wireless tether on cm7 did not work for me either but i didn't mess around with it much and i already a saved apk for wireless tether 2.0.6 which i have been using ever since i rooted months ago on all different roms i've tried. worked for me. i had to change the channel in the settings to get better connection since i also have a dinc running cm7 and also using wireless tether 2.0.6 on there too.
I am using 2.07. I have to start, then stop, then start again to get it going the first time I use tether after a reboot, but other than that works great. 3.1 beta 1 and CM7 tethers would not work for me. Also tethering with 4G.
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

Thanks for the replies!

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.

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.

Are you talking about using the stock Verizon WiFi hotspot?
I can work wireless tether perfectly on my (rooted) tbolt... but I don't use the stock Verizon app.

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.

What has changed that does not allow tethering? My friend said she was able to tether all the time and now she can't. Says she is on the same ROM (bamf) and has not made any changes,
I have no issues with my wireless tether.

For some reason I cannot wifi tether either. I am running Synergy. None of the wireless tethering apps I have tried have worked for about a week now. I used to use Wireless Tether with no issues. Now I have to go back to PDANet and USB. Any ideas anyone?????

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

Foxfi is a great program where you can use wifi tethering without root. I have used it before on other devices but with the Atrix HD when I open it and another computer connects to my Wifi signal then the phone reboots.
I have read on another website that 2 other people are having the same problem and was wondering if anyone else is. I sent an email to the developer of Foxfi but haven't received a response.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get this program working without it causing a reboot or if there is another program that works just as well?
No problems here. Why not use the native hotspot functionality. It works very well.

How do you use the native hotspot functionality? Will AT&T detect I'm using the tethering, if I use the native hotspot?

I'll have to give that a try. Have to use a tethering app until this device gets rooted. My 3gb data plan doesn't include mobile hotspot.
I still am wondering if anyone else is having problems with the phone rebooting while using foxfi?
Thanx

I tried foxfi and it also rebooted. when I turn on the native hotspot, it immediately turns it off and stated my plan does not include tethering.
Anyone tried using bluetooth tethering using Foxfi? I would like to use my iPad tethered through Atrix HD. However, if bluetooth tethering is not gonna work, I don't want to jailbreak my iPad.
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
Chris
Try toggling airplane mode on then off while tethering or just download foxfi free in the market works well

I agree. I am running Mavrom 4.5 with .906 base on Verizon and use Foxfi to bluetooth tether to my Asus Transformer tablet all the time. Give foxfi a try.

Yes I installed the fox fi app and had to toggle the airplane mode button, but works well.
