I've read that hotspot or wireless tethering was built in to CM7.20, but I'm using that rom and can't find it under any of the settings. Is the wireless hotspot feature not built in to the heroc build?

As far as I can tell it's not merged into the heroc branch. It seems quite a few don't have it, including the droid x and others. It's been around since cm 7.0 but more devices have been added with the last round of updates. Looks like we're stuck with just using wireless tether for root users.
I don't believe wireless is included but there used to be the wireless tether app on the market. That's what I used before it was included

Anyone using NC to tether to a android phone?
So I only have luck with Nexus One, but HTC phones are not working.
It's connected to the wifi hotspot of my desire HD, but the wifi is white in color (connecting to my home wifi, it's green). I guess white means it is not connected to the internet.
I have searched around, threads talk about NC not able to see adhoc networks, and I tried, but it didn't work.
Anyone else facing the same problem and managed to solve it?
ROM: CM7-RC4
Most modern smart-phones can do an infrastructure tether, instead of adhoc.
What tethering app are you using on the phone? is it secured?
If your phone only supports adhoc, it was perm disabled in one of the recent nightlies but you can re-enable it. Try searching the development fourm for "Adhoc enable"
I'm sending you this with my Nook via wifi-tether on my Droid Eris. Both are running CM7...makes things easy peasy.

My Nook is running CM7-RC4. My Desire HD isn't rooted, still running its stock wireless hotspot application. Everything else can connect to my desire HD's wireless hotspot, except my nook.
@deadbot1
Maybe that's why it works on my friend's nexus1, it is running CM7-RC4 as well.

I do not know for sure, but you may want to look into rooting your phone and trying different Wifi tethering apps. My phone is by no means high-end (LG Vortex) and I'm using the WiFi hotspot widget, from the market, to tether to my nook.
Running Droid X with Teamblackhat 3g Hotspot patch. (easily findable on google) Tethering laptops, Nook Color, even a colleague's Iphone has worked flawlessly. Not sure if it's verizon exclusive though.
my htc hero is tethering just fine to my nook color. Im using the wireless tether app from market, might as well just root your phone.
No problems tethering to a Droid 2 Global running Fission ROM and using wireless-tether for root.
NC is running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks testing rom (latest plus customizations.)
No problems tethering my nook with my inspire

I tether all the time using MobileAP. Built in tether function on froyo and up. SGS Captivate here. Won't work with apps like android tether. They use adhoc.
I tether off my evo as my nooks only source of Internet.
Sz rc2d.
Oh well, still unsuccessful in finding a non-intrusive solution for this.
I'm using a Nokia E72 with the JoikuSpot application which creates an ad-hoc network and getting mixed results. It was working on the train earlier but now it's failing to find the network. I'm using CM7 RC4.
Pretty seamless with google nexus s to tether wirelessly. That is sure to change when gayTT takes over.

I figured with all the people who managed to tether, it could be a problem with the wifi hotspot app that HTC has bundled with their stock rom.
The weird thing is while clearly browsers, market don't work, gtalk & gmail still works.
I am unable to get my nook connect to an adhoc network broadcast from Ubuntu. It used to work fine under Windows but now that has stopped working as well. What settings are we supposed to use? Ive looked around and all people say is "create an adhoc network and connect to it"
Im running Honeycomb v4 on the emmc of my Nook Color
I am running tether from my droid 1 which only does ad hoc. The original wpa_supplicant on the nook can only read infrastructure. Don't remember where I found the one I have, but it works pretty well.

I'm interested in getting my wife's Nook Color to work with my HTC Hero. What version of wi-fi tether are you using? Have you done anything to the Nook to get it to work?
Thanks.

Has anyone sucessfully tethered their NC running CM 7.02 with an android phone? I can not get them to connect.
Yes I have tethered my tmobile vibrant running a non stock rom. What phone do you have?

Yes. If your Android phone is rooted, you can use wireless tether (free in the market). Depending on your phone, you may be able to tether via bluetooth as well. I use my Hero CDMA as a tether daily for internet as well as navigation and data transfer.
I'll second wireless tether, I have my Thunderbolt running wireless tether & my CM7 Nook connects without a hitch. I've heard Verizon is blocking wireless tether though, so you might have issues downloading it from the market if that's your carrier.

I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

I want to use my BB as modem for DS7 since I carry unlimited plan for BB. When pairing BB with DS7, my DS7 shows 'pair but not connected'. I click on the wrench icon and could not find any option to connect.
Anyone knows how to tether BB with DS7?
Thanks in advance.
Blackberries do not allow for internet tethering as far as I know. I just got rid of a Torch 2 a couple of weeks ago and there was no option for data tethering

Moving to General
It works with my XP laptop via USB after installing BB Desktop application. Maybe there's no app for tethering BB/DS7.
Does your specific BB explicity state it supports BT/wifi tethering?
If it supports wifi tethering, it must also be in infrastructure mode, android doesnt really support ad-hoc without additional modifications.
Generally those are the only methods for tethering one (non-pc) device to another, as wired ones generally require additional software. (iOS and apparently bbos like you stated does, android doesnt)
According to Blackberry support website tethering is possible with both USB and Bluetooth. It seems to be an issue with Android. My DS7 is TMO 4G model. I recently upgraded to Honeycomb 3.2 thanks to The Manii.
I also tried PDAnet tether but it didn't help.

What Blackberry are you using?
BB Bold 9650 from Sprint
On T-Mobile, their phones' built in tethering switches you to a different APN to inform the carrier that you're tethering.
I've heard rumors that Verizon uses deep packet inspection to guess whether you're tethering or not. A Verizon salesperson told me that they can guess only based on the amount of data you use.
Which brings me to my question:
Does the Droid 4 switch you to a different APN when you tether? Does Verizon use DPI? Or do they make a scientific wild-ass guess based on the amount of data you use?
Thanks, guys.

While I have no idea, I have done light tethering on my D4 and haven't had an issue. I've also used my OG Droid as my main source of internet for a week while my cable was down.
At the moment, tethering w/out a tether plan is a bit of a risk, although I've never heard of anyone on VZW getting in trouble for it. Anyone heard anything different?

Same. I haven't heard of anyone on VZW getting in trouble for tethering without a tethering plan.
Okay. Thanks for the input. Light tethering is all I want.

When you tether does the Verizon screen pop up? On my D2G stock tethering was impossible without Verizon knowing. I'm looking at a D4 and no tethering is a dealbreaker. It's for occasional data (light usage) while on long trips.

USB tethering works without any hassle. Wifi tethering does an entitlement check, but if you're rooted you can disable the check.
If you use the wifi tethering app, there's no check either.

I got it working on Rogers, on the leak. Had to add my tethering APN though SQLite, please read more details here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27099169&postcount=2
I had to change my MTU to get USB tethering to work reliably. After that, I had no issues.
I haven't changed the MTU, and USB tethering seems to work fine. Verizon didn't even try to upsell me when I launched my laptop's web browser.

How do you actually do USB tethering? Do you select PC mode?
I rooted my D4 and installed the 'Wifi Tether" app and it works great. Used it to connect an iPad2 and a win7 laptop. Using this lets you have more than one device connect through it. Using USB would only have that one computer connected.

To use USB Tethering you obviously need a USB cable connected to your computer, then go to Tethering & Mobile Hotspot, and click on USB tethering.
Also note you also need to have WiFi disabled to use USB tethering. If WiFi is on the USB Tethering option will be disabled.
well not with a Droid 4 but with my Samsung stratosphere which is a 4G phone for verizon, i would use PDAnet and connect it by USB. i use about 15-25gigs a month and i have never had any problems. i don't torrent with my phone but i use it to download my PSN games that i buy from the store and also use it for online games like Swtor and WoW as my home internet is very very slow compared to my 4G speeds i get.
but also i do all my heavy tether use during late night (12AM-6AM) i never got throttled or anything before.
i used Fox Fi for my wireless tether app but lately i been having problems with it and it kicks me off 4G and i have to restart my phone but that is only for wireless tether
