Because the name is rediculous.
EDIT: I just got this to work and it seems great! To get it to work you need to press menu while in the app and go to settings. At the top of setting press change device-profile and choose Samsung Fascinate from the list and you are good to go (atleast it was for me).

thats cause they use ad hoc tethering which stock android doesnt support. You need infrastructure tethering which this apparently does....although I forgot to test it last night.

Exactly, i've tried some tweaks and apps which did not work until i stumbled
on this version. Google search, best thing ever.
FYI - This works for wifi on the Kindle whereas the old tether didn't. Make sure you go to settings and select the "device profile" to Samsung Fascinate.

Works great.....good find.
Thanks for the tip! This works great! Been using the vzw hotspot hack but i would keep having data issues while using it. This is working flawless! Even played 2 hrs of Black ops on my ps3 with zero issues using this. I immediately uninstalled my old wireless tether v2.07 cuz although infrastructure was supposedly supported with it, I could never get it to work. Anyway, thanks a bunch for the find and sharing this with us.
Sweet, thank you OP! I was trying to get wireless tether to work for 3 days now.
Great find, man. This works so much better for me than barnacle. Thanks for sharing.
Won't launch the Hotspot for me. Keeps giving me "Started with errors" and then in the log say it can't load the firmware

Why not just use the Verizon 3g mobile hotspots with the help of qpst.

Only issue I've had with this, is that it will randomly shut my phone off. It's weird. No reboot. Just turned off.

Same here. After about an hour of tethering using this app, it will reboot randomly. Kind of annoying when im in the middle of something
But works well other than that.

Works but again as posted above doesn't work on Market. Is there a fix or did I miss a step?

You probably need Froyo
Anyway, there's a newer release of v3.0 out. You folks still getting random shutdowns with this?
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.

Patch on XDA:

Another possibility and probably the easiest fix is downloading the app "zt 180 ad hoc wifi switcher" from the play store.

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

Well I managed to get it working with pdanet on the touchpad and foxfi on my phone. But that's the only way it works. Weird. At least it works one way though.

Stock WebOS cannot see Adhoc networks. I'm not sure if the Droid X2 supports AP tethering.

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.
ArmyAg08-
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.

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.

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 want anybody that know how or trying to learn how getting bluetooth tethering working on the Galaxy gear to post their methods on how they got it to work. I tried every way possible with no success. Only way I haven't tried yet was flashing a international Rom.
So help is needed and please let's play nice with each other. I want this on my phone Asap. Don't post links to other threads because I read them all. Lol

Already a few threads for this. Either use a rom with Bluetooth tethering, or use pdanet with wifi turned on in network spoofer (xposed module)
(all require null_ rom as stock does not include tethering profile)
Bluetooth internet is slow in general regardless of device
