I'm currently on mattc 1.5 and everytime I turn on portable wifi hotspot, the system restarts itself.
So anyone has tried out this feature on other builds?
I hear it doesn't work on any. It. Also hear that some of the tethering apps wor.

yeah, i think NONE of the builds are having it working now..
yes, thats the only thing which isn't working. all other features are working very well.
i hope the wlan router will work in future by an update
thx for the developers!!!
I have other tethering applications working, such as WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS.
Then again, other in-market applications exist that serve the same or similar purpose. Also, the wired, USB-tethering works quite nicely...
Hopefully the Wi-Fi Hotspot issues are worked out soon!
WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS should also not be working. It uses the same data tables as the built in hotspot. I've tested wireless tether on my two builds and it does not work.
wifi tethering its working !!!
step 1
install pdanet on pc
(cant put link cos im new-google it)
step 2
install pdanet from google market and istall it on pda.
now connect the usb to pc and Complete the Installation.
Just got and rooted the Evo. Currently trying out Fresh Evo with the Netarchy kernel. I achieved a 1.2Ghz overclock and the higher refresh rate did wonders for the performance!
Now unfortunately the 1 real feature I got the Evo for doesn't work on these stock-ish roms. I am on the go these days and have a laptop, a desktop, and a phone I'd like to connect to the mobile hotspot feature. I know "tether" apps exist such as PDANet but I'd rather use the built in hot-spot feature to connect multiple devices.
Does any hack, rom or kernel exist to unlock this feature built into Froyo 2.2?
P.S I did use the search button just nothing recent or relevant.
--------------------------------------------
*** Solution #1 ***
--------------------------------------------
1.) Put bcm4329.ko in /sdcard/android.tether/ (I'm on rooted vanilla)
2.) Download the newest version of Wireless Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The newest version supports WPA2-PSK whereas the one on the android market only supports WEP. Pre8 also seems to have better support for the Evo on 2.2
--------------------------------------------
*** Solution #2 ***
--------------------------------------------
1.) Install Cyanogen 6, which is based on the original AOSP Google code. Froyo 2.2 by Google original code included the hotspot feature and it was modified in the Sprint release. The built in hot spotting feature of 2.2 will work without a tethering application in Cyanogen 6.
Yes the hotspot works on stock Rom. What you are looking for is wireless tether in the market. You know the market has a search feature right? Don't use hotspot it cost money. 30 bucks a month.. you want to pay that? Figured not.
The so called hack is just being root so you can install the wireless tether since with security on Sprint won't let you use the "free hotspot app" since they charge. That's it.

I'm running fresh as well and just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I'm posting this from the wifi tethering that he included with the rom. It seems to work just fine.
Yeah that's the one from market.. free to use. Use sprints WiFi and you have to pay $30 a month..

Well I know how to use the search function, but apparently you don't know how to read.
"I know "tether" apps exist such as PDANet but I'd rather use the built in hot-spot feature to connect multiple devices."
I also know it costs money through Sprint that's why I'm here asking if a hack or rom exists that enables it. Was I really that vague?
PDANet only works to connect 1 device at a time. Not going to work as its a USB tether. I was hoping to just use the 2.2 Froyo settings to enable tethering but I guess wireless tether isnt that big of a deal to use.
Thanks.

Is the sprint wireless hotspot feature different than wireless tethering? Because I don't think it is. Both turn your phone into a WAP.
edit: I just connected 2 laptops and my daughter's ipod to my wireless tethering, so I'm not sure why that wont do what you're looking for.
No what you have not done is any searching at all.
I am not trying to be an ass but he told you what to do and you fell back on your lack of any researching at all and said something silly.
You did not search for tether or wireless tether, had you, you would have found wireless tether for root users, and if you would have searched here you would have found two things, wireless tether and usb tether.
I would suggest trying the market search again and not stopping with basic apps like pda net and looking at the most obvious search results.
If you search for hotspot you will get crap... if you search for what you are trying to do which is wireless tether, you will quickly find the app you need

To add my two cents to this post....I'm using fresh rom as well and it comes with wireless tether PREINSTALLED! To clarify things for you. The wireless tether app does the SAME thing that sprint hotspot does including connecting more than one device at a time. The only difference its that its free. If for some reason your fresh rom doesn't have the app. Do a search for it on the market or use the link posted on the post before mine. Use wireless tether for root users vers 2.0.5 pre 7 or pre 8. Those two work best for the evo on fresh.

And again, no one is listening. I know what Wireless Tether is. That's why I was knocking on all of you for not reading my post. I know what android market is. I'm not that retarded. I wanted to know if any ROMS can use the AOSP 2.2 built in feature? If not I wanted to know if a hack existed to enable it.
I cant enable WEP/WPA with wireless tether. Apparently people in this Airport are happy to use my phone since its open access.
I found the option to enable encryption but it only allowed WEP which is lame. I downloaded a new version off the developers website and it allows WPA2. I'll just use this app if no ROMS have the built in feature working.

In addition I said the built in feature to Froyo 2.2 not the stuff in Android market. I wanted to know if a ROM has a working STOCK HOTSPOT feature working so I dont have to use a tether app. The android operating system has this built in, I'd like ot use that one... Does Cyanogen have this feature working or am I SOL and have to use an unsecured Wireless Tether?

What? Wireless tether supports WPA encryption... meaning that they need a password in order to access your wifi spot... look on settings.

I just edited my last post. The version I had only supported WEP which doesnt fly with me... I downloaded the developers version and it supports WPA2.
I'd still like to know if any of the AOSP builds support the built in froyo 2.2 feature for hotspotting.
I believe Wifi Tether is Wireless Adhoc connection (may not work on some devices) and Sprint Hot Spot is a WiFi connection (access point)
I have not seen a hack for the Sprint Hot Spot. It sounds like it looks for your Phone mac to verify you are paying them before it allows you to use it.
As far as I know, roms don't have this 'hack' for the built in mobile hotspot feature. I'm a Hero user, so I'm not familiar with Evo roms. As stated before, just use Wireless Tether. In my opinion, it has everything someone could want.

I'm closing this thread. Everyone who helped thanks and have a nice weekend!
The only custom ROM that you can install that uses the Froyo built-in hotspot feature is Cyanogenmod 6. It works great.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!! Schwweeet! So if I install Cyanogen 6 I can just use the built in code developed by Google to enable hotspotting? Not a tether app?
I knew it!!!!
Can you please confirm this works as I expect? I assume it works because it is built off of AOSP which is not modified by Sprint or other carriers, which means the built in code from Google just works right?
You lose 4g and hdmi with cyanogen 6. But the built in froyo hot spot works.

Sorry for the dumb question, I searched, but cant find it... Where do I download bcm4329.ko?
I have a G2 with Tmobile and use a lot of data on it. A tab would be much better and I'd like to pick up the wifi version of the Xoom. Now seeing as Verizon has tiered pricing for their mobile broadband/tablet data plans I'd be much better off tethering my G2 to the Xoom, but which methods would work? I tried using Barnacle as an experiment but with a bit of reading found out that devices that aren't ad-hoc wouldn't connect (my PSP and CR-48 notebook wouldn't work, and reading the wiki the PS3 doesn't either) which leaves USB tethering. I know you have to install additional software with PDAnet tethering, so would USB tethering be possible android to android?
The Wireless Tether app works fine between my rooted Droid X and my CR-48, so I imagine it would work with a Xoom as well.
It should work with Wireless Tether. I'm hoping for that, if not, bluetooth tethering should work. And if that doesn't work, I'll have to use Connectify on my laptop to create a wifi hotspot of my tethered data connection from my little Eris! Hopefully, that won't be the case though, it'd be burden when not at home.
Yea.. simply just download the Wifi-Tether app. It works with everything, if you're rooted of course.
Or just use 2.2's built in tethering ability. Works just as good ~.~
Thanks, for some reason I forgot about the built in tether/hotspot, I think because when I bought my G2 the rep tried to sell me tethering for $15 a month or something. The wifi tether and barnacle tether apps don't work but the built in one does.
Hi everybody,
1st
I just want to say that I love this forum. I learned a lott.
2nd
USB and WIFI thethering works like a charm. But I would like a way to tether internet via bluetooth to extend the battery life of my phone. Also WIFI tethering is fine when connecting several devices, but I just want to connect my new Asus Transformer.
I have tried to find the awnser on this forum and via google but I only find guides about USB of WIFI tethering.
I hope there is a way. If there is please let me know.
Thanks,
Henkyie
Ps. Replies about my search capabilities are also welcom but please include the link where I could have found the information
I have used "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app on my previous Android phone, it has Bluetooth tether mode which worked perfectly for me. Not sure if it will work well with SGSII but may worth a shot.
Wireless tether for root doesn't work in bluetooth mode on the sgs2 (yet)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
As per the description in the market 'Wireless Tether for Root Users' requires Netfilter-enabled kernel for its working. I don't know if it is added in any of the kernels for S2.
Yes, bluetooth tethering would be helpful. Any other way to achieve it?
My phone is an HTC Hero cdma(sprint) that I rooted with z4root and cm7. 1. I tried almost every single version of the wifi tether app on the code Google website and none of them work.
My cm7. 1 has usb tether but not portable wifi hotshot. If anybody knows a way I would be really grateful.
The Hero only has Ad-Hoc wireless tether so your device may not be able to connect to Ad-Hoc networks and only infrastructure networks.

I'm running Wireless Tether v 2.0.7 on my CM6 Hero without problems.
Let me know if you can't find that version.
Doesn't CM7 have the native tether app in the CM config screens? I don't tether with my Hero but I will have to take a look at it when I get home. I know that I used to use wireless tether app routinely so the Hero will def tether just fine.
Cyanogen mod 7.1 has tethering via usb but not portable wifi hotspot. I may have to flash to cm6 see if it becomes available. Thank you for the responses ill post back after my attempt.
