i installed cyanogen 6.1.0 RC1 after which i am unable to using wifi tethering. someone suggested me to use the wifi tethering app for root . but that also hasnt worked.
my laptop connects but i can browse any websites.
Me too... Same problem (no data transfer showing in phone)
I wonder if T-Mo have disabled some how?

There is no reason to use WiFi tether for root, when it's implemented much better in the OS itself.
As I wrote before in another thread, there might be another APN that needs to be used to allow tethering and full internet access.
In T-Mo case - I don't know what might be the reason.
I'm only using the native tether, or at least trying, but it doesn't seem to be working as of this morning...

well for some odd reason i tried to connect using my office laptop and it worked . there wasnt any problem with wifi tethering. so my personal laptop wifi driver might have an issue. cant think of anything else.
I have an Ipod, and want to use my WiFi tether using my phone for the internet on my Ipod. It reads my Phone when it scans for wifi networks, but does not have a connection. But when I try using it for my computer, it works. Does the settings need to be changed? Thanks.

nvm, seem to got it working, although a harder method. I tried using barnacles wifi, but keep giving me shell init error, and wouldnt broadcast. Then used WiFi Tether, but in order for me to use that, I always have to go into terminal and type in
su
cd /data/data/android.tether/bin
./tether start 1
otherwise it will not give internet access, even though it broadcast.
any other methods to fix this?
When using barnacle u have to go to settings and custom adhoc and select hero that's why I just use wireless tether from google lol

Jezzz, thanks for making me look like an idiot, haha, thanks alot. Had to update my barnacles to see that in settings.
I agree. Wireless tether is so much easier. Even changing settings, barnacle has never worked for me.
Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?
haven't gotten it to work for me either.
I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?
You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.
Little Buddy Sr.
I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.
actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.
Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.
wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom
I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.
update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi
under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?
Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!
If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).
Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.

also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM
drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.

Anyone having issues using any wi-fi tether apps from your phone with this tablet? I get "connecting" and "obtaining ip address" when trying to tether with my nexus s 4g (rooted) but i can't get them to work. The same tether apps from my phone work for my laptop but not this tablet? I can use the bluetooth tether with these same apps but the wi-fi tether doesnt' connect. I guess my questions are:
1. anyone else having this issue
2. if so, is connecting bluetooth from the tether app slower than connecting using the 'wi-fi' option
THanks in advance for this!

Go check your nexus s 4g's tethering mode. Some phones only work in the ad-hoc mode instead of the infrastructure mode, and most of the tablets don't support ad-hoc mode. PC normally supports both modes.
I am having issues. I create a hotspot using my s3 but my nex7 can't connect with a password or not. I got the Bluetooth tether to work instead. Using the FoxFi app and I'm not rooted for either devices.

Works fine with my I9000
Try changing the wifi hotspot name in Foxfi. I could never get Foxfi to work with my S3 and Windows 7 laptop using a password. Without a password it worked fine.
I ended up getting SVTP Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether for my S3 and now I can connect with a password to my laptop.
Will be getting the Nexus 7 tomorrow so I'll check out how the SVTP works with that.
Nexus 7 doesnt see my phone's wifi broadcast
Using a rooted HTC Rezound to offer up the 4G...my iPads find the broadcast in seconds, laptops as well. Nexus 7 has yet to find it. Tried different channels, different settings, different wifi tether pgms, still nothing. My phone apparently cant seem to connect via bluetooth properly either, tried foxfi/pdanet. I dont care about the iPad having network access, its a paperweight after my nexus arrived, but I would like to be able to use my nexus on the road/at work/etc. Any help would by spectacular...
I had absolutely no issue using FoxFi off of my droid bionic to my nexus 7. It initiated and connected within seconds.

This happened on prime for a few firmware versions where ad hoc tethering connections wouldn't work. The solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438297. It should work for nexus 7 also. Make sure to follow instructions and set permissions correctly. It should work instantly. No reboot required.
Edit: might need some adjusting. Since i just looked and saw nexus 7 only has one wpa supplicant file in /system/bin , a complete swap might do the job. Of course rename and backup the original wpa supplicant file. Set permissions correctly on new file according to op of that thread. Post back of it works or not.

The iPad can connect to an ad hoc network, the Nexus 7 can't. Most wifi tether apps are ad hoc so that's why it won't see the network. You need to be able to tether with infrastructure mode to get the N7 to see the wifi network. If there is a hack to make your Rezound's stock hotspot app work, that would be the best way to tether to your N7, because it would be infrastructure.
using Foxfix here from galaxy s3 to nexus7 without issue, blazing faster than my WiFi connection at home..4g LTE rocks, hope the next nexus smartphone will support LTE speed

have you consider tethering throught Bluetooth? I used that with no issue with my rooted Nexus Galaxy to my Nexus 7.
Just so you know, my wifi tethering work too.

My phone doesnt support the bluetooth PAN...I think I need to follow the other instructions. Im really new to this, so hopefully someone can hold my hand.
I'd be surprised if the N7 didn't recognize adhoc networks. When Asus put out the TF101 it initially didn't recognize adhoc, but the first software upgrade fixed that. As far as I know all of the Asus tablets now support adhoc. Doesn't make sense that the N7 would not have that capability. - sheureka
Just got my N7 today at work and luckily I can tether with the stock WiFi hotspot app on my HTC wildfire s. For some reason no one can connect to the WiFi at work so tethering is all I have at lunchtime.
I'm able to connect to my rooted e4gt using wireless tehter with no problems. N7 is 100% stock.

Then or also paying $20 to use the internet u already pay for? Not knocking u just asking because if your on Verizon no WiFi or Bluetooth tethering will work without paying the fee
My GNex tethers just fine with the N7. Bluetooth tether sucks however. Connects and stays connected but does not work with anything except the browser.
I managed to tether through wi-fi and bluetooth. Try using a CM7 RCA rom, or something off of here if you like. The built in features for 2.3 and up are great for tethering over wi-fi. Just make sure the rom supports it now since Im using CM10 and for right now wi-fi tethering does not work. Best of luck to you.
This always worked great on my D4 before. Not sure what I've done to break it.
D4
Rooted
Eclipse 1.5.2 clean install via safestrap
wifi tether 3.2 beta 2 with device profile set to generic ics wlan0
When I start wifi tether it starts with no errors. About 50% of the time other devices can see the SSID from my phone and 50% of the time they can't and I have to stop and restart wifi tether. Then, when they try to connect, they authenticate just fine but then freeze up at "obtaining IP address..." and never actually obtain an IP and connect.
I've been playing around with all the settings (routing fix, keep alive, wifi driver reload...) but nothing seems to be helping.
Anyone know what I should check? Thanks in advance.
in wifi-teather try setting the device profile to droid bionic and also check routing fix
see if that works for ya
Well hey, that actually worked. Thanks!
(How did you know that would work?)
