[Q] Wifi Tether, CyanogenMod,Froyo Rooting ?'s

Hi All,
First of all Wirless Tethering, I have One click Rooted my epic, and installed the wifi tether app but am not able to transmit signal (other devices cannot detect my wifi transition). In other words it’s not working. Do I have to install a specific kernel for this to work? and if so where would I get it?
Secondly, CyanogenMod and Froyo. Are they available for the Epic yet?, where, if not when?
Finally, Rooting, is there any way to tell that my device is perm-rooted? I want to make sure the rooting was successful even though it should be because my phone restarted like the directions said it would.
Thanks Much, p.s. I just left apple/att for epic/sprint so I don’t know all the terminology, please explain in detail Thanks!!

No cyangen mod 6 yet, or any roms yet, however roms will be coming real soon.
As for checking root try using an app that requires root like titanium backup.
For wifi tether, what version are u using?

for the Tether im using 2.0.5-pre8 istalled via tAttachAPkInstaller. I found this in the forums and people claimed to have success with it. The tether app in the marketplace said it needed a special kernel for it to work, any idea on where to get that and how to install new kernels?

To check root just type "su" in terminal and you should get "#" prompt.

Ur using the right wifi tether app, I use the same and it works fine for me. Idk why its not working for u.

Wifitether is probably working, it only broadcasts AD_HOC mode, which a lot of devices won't pick up. Make sure your Wifi drivers are updated and you are using a computer (not a p2p or DS).

I checked the root by installing titanium backup and it wen smoothly, but this damn tether app is driving me craZY! i have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole proccess and nothing works.... when i first start the tether app the download goes from 0 to .4 kb and the upload goes from 0 to .1 and then bot go back to 0 and thats it...... no other phones or computers have been able to see my signal... anything in the settings might be messing me up?? maybe diff chann?? im currently broadcasting on Chan 11.... even when i use bluetooth to connect it said paired but not connected....WHAT IN THE HELL BOBBY !!!!! i needs some helps

I had the same problem with wifi tether until I updated the wifi drivers on my PC. In my case I could see the network "androidtether" but attempting to connect caused the NIC to timeout requiring a disable/enable to get going again.

Still waiting for someone to get wifi tether working in access point mode. That's one thing I'm really going to miss from my Evo when I switch tonight.

I know its not wifi, but the pdanet tether application has been working great for me on the Epic. Its in the marketplace and can be installed without root. It does USB/Bluetooth, but not wifi.

OK i tried the PDAnet app but i cant seem to pair a friends iphone 4 with my device... i turn on blue tooth then pair then turn on the app and try to connect/repair but it keeps saying "paired but not connected" any settings i have to mess with on this app or the iphone 4 to make this work?
Thanks much for the helps.

I don't think the iPhone's bluetooth supports bluetooth DUN profile, that's why it didn't connect. iPhone's wifi supports ad-hoc wifi though.

I do not THINK Barnacle is compatible with the Kernel in the Sense ROM, that they are using.
Try using the Google Code Wifi application. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_6.apk&can=2&q=
That one should work fairly well for you.

Never posted anything that made it into someones signature before. Thats awesome.

I've used all 3 "Stock", Barnacle and the Google.Code one and they all 3 worked fine. I have stuck with the stock one (TMO not charging me for it either) because I prefer the UI for it and it connects first try every time for me. activate app, power up netbook and by the time my netbook is done powering up it has already connected itself to my phone a ready to go for a romp on the inter-web. I have been using it since day I got the phone and haven't received the text telling me I had to add tethering to my account... but then I never get anywhere near the 5GB "cap", my heaviest month was 1.51GB

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.

You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.

For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.

I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...

Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks

USB tethering?

Looking for a way to USB tether my Iconia tablet through my android phone..
before anyone gives me the "just use wifi" speech.. I cant due to where I work.. absolutely ZERO wifi allowed.. they have wifi sniffers. 3G is fine.. sooo need a way to tether via USB.
Both my devices are rooted.

I would love this as well. Could always use bluetooth dun though right?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

nope.. BT freq's are monitored too.. can really only use USB.
I just can't understand why this is such an obstacle.. figure something like this would be easy to do.

Very interested in finding a way to do this as well.

I haven't test it, but in the Thor ROM 14.2 there is under "Tethering & Mobil Hotspot" > USB-Tethering. Maybe you try that ROM.

Tried this with my DROIDX and the built in 3G hotspot app which has a USB tethering option. No go.

Pdanet is my usb tetherer of choice. Right now I don't think it's supported but they may get that together and it seems something more feasible as android becomes a legit OS.

Search the market for this app.its what your looking for and I can confirm it does work and works well.there is a thread about it on here somewhere.
Out curiosity why not allowed to use wifi or Bluetooth.

What do I put on the tablet side to make this work?? PdaNet only has windows and Mac options for the "computer" side...
Because where I work people are retards and paranoid..

You think adroid to android USB tethering internet would be the easiest think but its not? It should be built into the software I mean cmon google?

You would think right??
I did find this page..
http://www.shadowsplace.net/923/android/tether-android-phone-desire-to-android-tablet-iconia-a500-via-usb-cable/
I tried it and unfortunatly it doesnt seem to work with whatever kernel Taboonay changed to when I loaded that ROM. Guess my only option right now is to do some trial and error on diffent kernels until I find one that works..

Maybe some help here...

Actually, PdaNet does have a beta version for tablets...

Unfortunately for you it is only through bluetooth.

I'm assuming you read this thread:
[Q] USB Tethering between A500 and Android phone
which leads to your quoted link. In that thread he specifically mentions the kernel which worked (Only thing needed (tested with 2.3 version of this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1170319):)
Sorry if you've already seen that and still no luck...

KICK ASS!! that kernel worked!!
I'm in airplane mode and able to surf the internet. only thing im seeing is that the box will pop up saying that there is no internet connection, but I just hit OK and it goes to whatever page I typed in.
Thanks again..

Glad that worked... I may be trying the same thing very soon.

I wish PDAnet would soften up and just do stuff for root. Their iphone app is only available to jailbreakers so you'd they wouldn't be so up tight.

Well after a few days of using tether this way.. Ive figured out that most apps wont recognize USB tethering.. I cant get Google Talk to sign in. Google Market seams to work fine though. Seems like some things will tell you that there is no internet connection but still work.. some just wont.

just wanna help out people with problems at wifi tethering :)

hey guys this is my first posting so be gentle...
i just wanna share something that might help people that has problems with tethering...
i have a rooted motorola photon 4g and i use it to tether wifi on my asus tf101 because i dont have internet at home... but after ICS ROMS came out, i usually switched roms coz i couldnt tether my wifi...i was using the regular wifi tether in the market at that time... but every time i try to connect to my tether i couldnt, it just says SAVED...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi... ....then after lots and lots of reading and trying to solve my problem i saw an app that works great but its a little bit tricky coz you wont find it in the market that instant...
.... you only need to install this on the phone your gonna use for tethering...
.... for sprint carriers it is blocked on the market but here are the steps to get it....
... for other carriers just search for FOXFI (blue colored wifi tether app)
---------------- OR YOU COULD JUST GO TO FOXFI WEBSITE http://foxfi.com/bin THANKS TO dca09 FOR THE INFO ------------
what i did and you should do is....
1. on your phone go to the market and search for PDANET TABLET...
2. click PDANET TABLET and scroll down up to DEVELOPER
3. click VISIT WEBPAGE (then the browser would open)
4. scroll down and click DOWNLOAD VERSION 3.50
5. after download is done open PDANET and click WIFI TETHER MODE then you will be prompted to install FOXFI
6. install FOXFI and enjoy
- you could even create a wpa2 password for your own protection on this app -
- you could use either WIFI TETHER or BLUETOOTH TETHER -

did anyone already tried what i did? please let me know if it worked for you and what ROM are you using on your tf101

Pdanet Works, but I really prefer native tether that exists in Cm9 and AOKP. Never had an issue with it.

yeah me too...
yeah i liked that too... but did u installed and used foxfi tether??the blue one? i think its better coz i tried it on every rom

I was/will be there for you

FYI
Just to let you know that you can also use your browser to go to the FOXFI web site and download it from there (http://foxfi.com/bin). You'll have to enable install "Unknown sources" to install the .apk file.
It's a little easier and you'll have the .apk file for backup.

I use Wifi Tether for Root on my phone to tether to my transformer. I've never had need to go the other way since my tf101 is wifi only.

thanks man hehehe

I agree. Native tethering with on/off button on power widget in notification tray. Once network is saved, all it takes is one toggle of the button and boom, you are connected.

I just got my tf101 and so far haven't been able to connect wifi or blue tooth to my htc evo.
I can find it and it shows up as a paired device but I can't connect to it.
I installed the pda net and the foxfi and it appears to be working, but still can't get a signal or a menu/connection to my phone.
Any ideas?

what rom are you using?

"i just ...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi."
How do you make the change to wpasupplicant2?

Damn....i was hoping the suplicant2 method would fix the adhoc issue in ics...i just picked up this tablet and havnt been able to get it tethered yet ....i have a tmobile vibrant rooted on froyo rom ... and still no dice.... even foxfi doesnt. So why would the suplicant2 tweak not work with your jobs wifi?...
Starting to look like i should downgrade to hc.... i really dont feel like messing with my phone with different roms...would rather tinker on the transformer

the app says it doesnt work with htc phones as they build some kind of security into it. and some moto phones wont work....
i also have a droid x and it works just not reliably.

thats because you need to undo what you did to the wpasupplicant2 in able to connect to normal wifi..thats my problem before...try FOXFI it wont mess up your wpasupplicant1 and 2 so you wouldnt bother to change anything..just reflash the rom you are using then use FOXFI..

if your using an htc phone thereis a lot of tethering apps out there that you could use.. or if you want to.. you could use PDANET for tethering via bluetooth or usb...
