I swear at one point in time I had a version of Android Wifi Tether that allowed me to use WPA2. Can I still find the apk for this or am I just thinking crazy thoughts?
i have such in CM6 on Desire. would like to get in on TAB...
i've installed WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.0-pre11 which is experimental and includes WPA2, but it doesn't have TAB on the list of devices profiles.
so tethering starts with errors and it doesn't show up in the networks list, i think something's wrong or missing for TAB
the link for the tool is

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.

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..

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.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta3.apk
speedtest.net 10.25Mbps down
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.
Using Revolt 1.5.
whether i am using the wireless hotspot that is on the phone or trying to tether it will not connect.
it goes as far as Obtaining IP Address from my phone via the tether. but it never goes further.
both devices are rooted...
anyone have any suggestions on how to get my nook color to connect to my phone...
Well I havent tried hotspot from my EVO yet, but I just tried tether from my phone to my nook and it worked. I am using tether version 3.1-pre108. I cant remember where I got this version from, but I think sprint is blocking tether apks from the market now, so I found it in a thread in the EVO section.
Here are my settings within wifi:
device profile auto
setup method auto
wifi encryption unchecked
change ssid AndroidTether
hide ssid unchecked
change channel 01
dont disable bluetooth unchecked
wifi driver reload checked
Nothing else is checked throughout settings except for disable wake-lock under miscellaneous, that is checked. I can also connect to my latop as well. I hope this helps.
i got it to work, but it looks like it only works when i have 4g. can i not connect to my phone via 3g?
Mine was connected 3g......I dont have 4g in my area.
cool, thanks. i think i figured it out.
appreciate it.
I see alot of people talking about the Wifi Tether some working and some not. So is there any way to get this working I have tried all setup that people have offered with no luck. Are there any working ROMs with the build in hot spot working...
There was a zip file I use to get it working on my htc evo lte
Wifi Tether works just fine. It works as an ad-hoc connection so you have to set up the laptop, tablet, or other phone to use an ad-hoc connection.
EDIT: there are vids on youtube that will show you how.
wifi teather work great.. no hotspot is not hacked like on samaung devices,, i running Tranquil rom.. in the app i have device profile set to generic ISC/JB (wlan0) checked.. then wifi driver reload checked...MSS clamping checked.. Routing fix checked.. and all is well
You just have to set it up properly and it will work.
Guys, and OP, I had wifi tether working, then it stopped working at random. Had to wipe everything and not restore to fix it. Not sure if there's a better way, but something somewhere got messed up.

Ok I have a Note 2 running rooted 4.4.2 and when I'm connected to wifi I can't enable Bluetooth share. I've looked all over and I can't figure out how to enable this while connected to wifi.
I figured it out I just have to use pdanet while I'm on wifi with phone. If phone isn't on wifi I can use built in tether

I've posted about this in other forums and was hoping to find an Xposed module to fix this. Seems to be a restriction added to Android as of 4.3. Previous versions of Android allowed native bluetooth tether while on wifi. As of 4.3, it seems native bluetooth is no longer allowed........no idea why and was a little stunned to find that no one else really has complained about this.
