Hello,
I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.
Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.
I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod
I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others
Enable WiFi Encryption is off
WiFi-driver reload is turned on
With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.
Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?
I also tried the fix described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2266268
Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Pretty frustrating. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I haven't tried the other tether apps. If you fix it, please post here with your settings and hopefully it will work for me.
Try and install a custom Rom the stock Rom might have disabled WiFi tethering via 3rd party apps

Now that the Droid 3 has been rooted, has anyone tried any wifi tether apps?
I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether but neither will work. Anyone having any luck?
Are you sure Wifi Tether app isnt working? I just rooted my droid 3, and installed wifi tether, and it seems to be working.
There IS a hotspot hack out there that i read in this forum...maybe start a topic asking for Hotspot Hack Droid 3 because i know theres a couple guys that know about it on thisa forum, and a few say that its even better of an app than wifi tether or barnacle and really cool. good luck
I think the stock hotspot app is causing issues, mine keeps saying it loses 3G connectivity.. But then again I am overseas right now, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Wish I could easily remove Mobile Hotspot and try again.. But it appears that it's integrated into Blur, so it's not as easy as freezing the APK.
Neither Barnacle or Wifi Tethering are working on my D3. Pretty sure they did not work for me prior to the recent OTA update and they still do not work. Has anyone had any luck with wifi tether on a rooted D3?
from what ive been reading, you need to do the TBH radio hack. it works no prob
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182940
I can second, the TBH hack works sweet and is easy to do.
Neither Barnacle or WiFi Tether should work without modding the phone's radio. With the radio hack, all data used looks like mobile data whereas it does not, and thus is blocked, when using Barnacle or WiFi Tether.
I'm looking to do the wifi hack with tbh however before i got changing anything i tried to just launch the mobile hotspot on the phone to see the message that comes up and when i go to check the box to turn it on it errors out with a process.com.android error message or something like that and i havent touched any files yet.anyone have any ideas?
figured it out, guess when i restored all my settings last time, it never changed something back to the way it should have been, oh well got it going now, now to try this hack.

Once you do the TBH hack, head over to the Dev area of the D3 forum (IIRC) and get the tethering app. It's more configurable than the stock Mobile Hotspot app.
I'm using my Galaxy S i9000 to tether internet to my desktop. It works fine until the screen turns off. After the screen turns off, the connection becomes laggy, skype etc disconnects constantly, speedtest shows ping of 300-500 to nearest server (10-20 by default). I hope someone could help me out here. What to do, what is the problem, how do I fix this?
This happens on Cyanogenmod, I've tried 7.1 stable, nightly and CM9 ICS builds, also on Onecosmics ICS. Wifi Sleep policy set to always on. Stock ROMs working fine.
Thanks
I never experience this bug on CM7.1. Are you using Juicedefender or that kind of app, maybe they can kill the data connection?
not using anything, all of them were clean and freshly installed ROMs.
Have you tried to set sceen timeout to "off"?
Does it work then?
I didn't experience that bug either tho..
I've tried to set timeout to 30min, and if I not turn it off manually, the connection is working fine for the 30 min, after the screen shuts down, it becomes laggy as hell.
Should I try setting it to off, and if yes, how do I do that?
Also, I'm not sure if it's a tethering issue and not a Wifi one. Can't think of a way to test it without tethering. Any ideas?
Have you tested any tethering apps from market? Like Barnacle Wifi tether.
Have you tested USB tether? There are apps for that on the market also if CM's own usb tethering doesn't work.
Just now I flashed CM7.1 stable just to try out different usb tethering apps. Nothing works, everything is the same. I've tried easytether, quick usb and PdaNet. PdaNet came with some windows drivers for the phone which were different from what I've had before. I've tried to install those, no change. I should probably test wifi tethering just to see if it works.
I tested to wifi tether my 3g connection, everything works fine screen lock on and off. Tried to usb tether my home wifi connection to another computer, had the same problem. Any more suggestions? Thanks in advance

I don't actually know what are you trying to do? You have wifi in your house?

Yes I have a Wifi at my house. Also I have an old desktop, which doesn't have wifi. I'm trying to share my internet connection through my phone by wifi to my desktop. I connect to home wifi with my phone and tether the connection to the desktop.

apparently it's a known issue...
Tether Issues:
I was having problems with the tethering. I uninstalled and installed about 5 times. I did a fix permission step and still had problems.
I went ahead and used these settings and it works.
WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod
generic (wlan0)
enable wi-fi encryption
wi-fi driver reload 1 enabled
wi-fi driver reload 2 disabled
MSS clamping enable
routing fix enable
thanks for posting. the same settings work for me.
I am not trying to be mean in saying this but those are the settings you need to use for WiFi teather with the HTC One, nothing new and not specific to ViperRom.

Before I was using it with wi-fi driver reload 1 disabled.
My previous settings were:
generic (wlan0)
enable wi-fi encryption
MSS clamping enable
routing fix enable
Now:
generic (wlan0)
enable wi-fi encryption
wi-fi driver reload 1 enabled
wi-fi driver reload 2 disabled
MSS clamping enable
routing fix enable
Without touching the wifi driver setting.

If that's the case then why does mine work without those settings? I've never had to configure my wifi tether app. So maybe it is specific to ViperRom at this time.
Mine is set to Auto... encryption never worked and it's from my understanding that it never will with HTC, but maybe I'm wrong and misread what I found.
EDIT: Hmmm, guess I was wrong. However mine did work without these settings, I would just get a message saying that there was an error, but it still worked. Encryption didn't work with my previous settings, but now it does with these.

Way to resurrect a 2 month old thread. Yes the OP was correct you do need those settings.
Thanks for this post!
Worked For Me!
I just had to log in and say thank you for posting this! I'm running TrickDroid 1.0.0 GE on an AT&T HTC One and this got my wifi tethering working again! I normally name the SSID "HTC One" but the space presented a problem. Changing it to just "HTC" ended up getting it to work. My iPad still wouldn't recognize it automatically so I manually joined and it connected just fine. My other settings were the same as previously listed. Thanks again!
worked on my sprint HTC one rooted and using viperROM v1.1.0
Thanks!
Settings worked perfectly for me.
I also froze tetheringguard, and hotspot stuff.
Where are these settings??
I have tried a few things, but I can't get tethering to work on LTE. It works on cdma, but not any other band. I tried searching for GSM network to try it on, but my m7 said there were no GSM networks found. Yet my old t-mobile phone has full service.
Unlocked and rooted XT1053 running a custom ROM and kernel. Running same ROM and kernel for months and was using wifi tether daily.
Wifi tether stopped working today, I just used it last Thursday without issue. No changes made to ROM or kernel in between that time. The only thing I've done since is clear dalvik/cache last night but I don't see how that could cause problems.
I usually just turn on Wifi hotspot via the quick settings tile and it enables. Now when I hit the quick setting nothing happens. When I go into settings menu to enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot", it gets stuck on "Turning hotspot on..."
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: actually - unless I'm missing something I can't even find the native tethering app anymore...somehow it got deleted? Anyone know how it can be restored?
Now that we have root back, I tried using Wifi Tether but it wont start correctly. all the other apps out there keep triggering the AT&T checker which then kicks it back off. Miss the old days when the tether widget trick worked. Anyway, does anyone know what settings to change to make WiFi tether work? Or if there is a particular version we need for our phones?
Aww, meant to post this in the questions forum. Can an admin move it please?

Have you tried freezing the system app called "tetheringprovision"?
Yep. Froze it using Titanium and now it gets a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" when I try turning tethering on.
Tried FoxFi as well. It was able to start without any errors but it's not broadcasting anything.
Nevermind. Got it to work using another app. Luckly I only need it once in a while so the pain to turn it on and off doesnt bother me.
Do wish AT&T didnt make such a fuss about tethering with the unlimited plan (yay grandfathered plan!)
