Ok so I'm looking for a way to enable my xperia z native teather feature but without disabling wifi. I don't have service and use wifi for everything. In some roms I have seen this applied. I was able to wirelessly teather my wifi without it turning off my phones wifi or disableing airplane mode. I was wondering if i can do the same here?
anyone?...
I don't think it's possible!

Of course it's possible it's been done before, it's the matter of finding the tweak. But if not then I'll have to do it the hard way and decompile the apk responsible for tethering

I don't suppose anyone knows of an app that can automatically turn on tethering when specified wifi access points are not available?
Like many others I dont want a data plan on my xoom so I tether using my phone when I am not near an access point. I get damned good battery life on my nexus one, but I still don't want to leave tethering on all the time. I would be nice if I could have it automatically turn on tethering when my known wifi APs are not available.
You could probably use Tasker to do this - You'd have to configure it yourself, but it would work.

Don't know of an automated way but Hotspot Toggle in the market is a good widget you can place on your home screen. One touch on and off.
I was thinking that I could combine your answers to get a solution, but hotspot doesn't show up as an app in tasker.

Without rooting your phone and having an app require root, you won't find this capability. In one of the recent major android builds google removed the ability for applications to turn on and off wifi automatically.
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.
Hello,
I've installed on my X8 Froyo Pro v01 for X8 (Revised from FroyoBread) from XDA-RK. The rom works fine except that im having a problem with the wi-fi. In his features he says "Wi-Fi "n" Standard enabled" and when i tried to connect to my router after the installation of the rom the router actually crashed! No connection was warking even with ethernet. I've tried this a couple times (by restarting the router) but without luck. What i did in order to make it work and connect to wireless is that i change the wi-fi in the router to use mixed mode for B/G devices. I was wondering if there's a way to disable the N setting in X8 or do something else in order to make it work.
Thanks in advance.
It should work it work for me. Anyway try to change standard in settings of your router

That's what I did to make it work actually as I said. I had to change the wifi mode to work for Mixed Mode B/G devices only. Previously was on Mixed Mode (B/G/N devices).
When I used Froyobread 0.23b the wifi was working perfectly without changing anything in the router. I think it has to do with the "N standard" feauture that was added on Froyopro but im not sure. I've searched if there was an option to disable it but either i cant find or it doesnt exist (for now at least).
Search forum fie tweaks! There is a tweak for enabling n standard so you can disable it

never experienced it.. im using edimax btw... try deleting the remembered configure and make new configurations
did you make a full wipe after installing the Rom?
Yes I always do a full wipe when changing roms for these kind of problems. I'll check the tweak so i can disable N standard

You mean the configure on my X8? Cause I did and still nothing :/
Hi,
I`m also having WiFi issues with this Rom.
Beside that, I really like this one. Great battery life!
But I need to get WiFi working.
Any suggestions?
I have tried everithing, but the wifi continues the same, poor and intermittent connection.
Tried with home, work and public networks, the same.

Actually I managed to disable the N standard option of the WiFi and now it works fine with no issues. Search the thread how to enable N standard WiFi.

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

Try this...HERE it worked for me.
I've been trying to figure out if I can share WiFi that I have on my phone with Laptop/PC/Tab.
So far, I've only found out that Data Plan is the most common, or I must say, the defacto standard. I could find little to no reference of sharing a connection other than my data plan. I went through someone's post over another forum and found out that someone is doing just that. I asked how he did it and he posted screenshots to show how his S3 could route his home WiFi to his Laptop via USB Tethering.
I tried doing the same but at the moment I have no spare connection so I couldn't test this out, but, just for curiosity I tried looking into settings and found out that tethering is only possible for data plan So I installed all drivers (earlier they were giving a problem) then connected my Laptop to phone via USB cable and enabled tethering.
I thought I was done but then just to be sure, I disabled my SIM network. I turned on Airplane mode and then... tethering.disabled
Here, look how the option is grayed out
BTW my D410 is running on Stock ROM V10a-IND-XX, if it helps
Update
My bad, I didn't know about the Airplane Mode and assumed that it only disabled the carrier network. Turns out that one has to re-enable WiFi after turning on the airplane mode.
Here, find the screenshots attached. It clearly shows WiFi will be disabled and when after enabling airplane, I turn on WiFi, it works.
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a usb WiFi card from Amazon?

I already have a USB modem. That's not the problem.
Just wanted to know if it is even theoretically possible because, well, it is(possible), on an S3 ? Fact is, that, such a problem is non-existent. Usually, when you have a wireless adapter(Laptop) then you don't need your phone to handle that. Routers are easily available but phone can function like one (though kinda limited). I went through an ArchLinux forum thread where someone has modified his, wait... some old HTC phone ? to work exactly the same way. Then isn't our model capable of doing just that ?
I'm sure there must be a way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't airplane mode also disable WiFi?
Airplane mode usually disables 3G/network and WIFI and you have to enable WIFI back on to use it with no 3G.

Oh no, I think you both are right. My bad. This a total facepalm moment. Could be because I never fiddled with settings. I thought Airplane mode was about data network, and not, WiFi
I didn't enter the control panel, just toggled the switched on and off. It's only when you pointed it out that I decided to give that a try. Worked like a charm
Thank you both for pointing out the obvious Airplane Mode 101 :good:

HI archicorn27,
