I watched a video review on pre release 2.1 shown a feature to allow the phone to act as a mobile Hotspot, the reviewer wasn't sure this feature would be avalible on other releases.
So I want to know if it avalible or not?
Thanks

If you have the o2 (2.1) Rom you can install universal root and barnacle wifi and you can create a wifi hotspot.

I'm on the 2.1, and i can't find barnacle in the market place. i used to be able to find it on the older beta 2.1 builds, but not the official one.
Put your phone in airplane mode, then use your wifi.. while on wifi, search for barnacle. It should show up then. That's what I had to do anyway...

I have a vibrant that is unable to find a wifi network broadcasted by my rooted Eris with xtrSense 3.1. I have used the latest wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk and the one from market. Nothing works.
Also tried barnacle wifi tether. Any of you experiencing such issue ?
I have tried an iphone 3gs, which works fine on Eris' wifi.

Android by default cant use adhoc networks, so its not gonna work until someone modifies the kernel
that's a bummer, so will I never be able to use wifi on vibrant from my eris ? or can the wifi tether app be updated to get it to work ?
I am using my nexus one with cyanogen rc1 2.2 froyo rom using built in wifi tethering to tether to captivate and it works perfectly.

hmm, what is different in vibrant then ?
the wifi tether in your eris is adhoc and the one from froyo is infrastruture (mobile Hotspot).

i see. So if I get one of the froyo ROMs, then the vibrant will probably work.
I have 2.2 rooted with the wifi tether... I can attach computers , ipods, iphones fine but I can't find the network with an android phone...
I have tried
Galaxy s on tmobile
My touch slide
Another incredible
Any idea why only android devices won't find my tether network?

Are you using the latest version of Wifi Tether that supports setting up a true AP or still using an older version that only supports ad-hoc? Last I heard Android cannot see ad-hoc networks.
You are using adhoc. Android phones can't see that

They can see that. My Droidx sees it just fine.
Has anyone had any luck getting Barnacle or Google's wifi-tether going on the i400?
Goods question. I'm curious for the answer.

That works if you root download the latest beta
Easy tether also works without root, but it's not a wireless tether.
Trailblazer101, I'll give the latest beta a shot. Thanks.

Worked fine!
Update (about 3 days late)
After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).
The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.
Trying to root my Continuum. Tried the one click but it just locked up my phone. Pulled battery, do I do it again?
I'm totally new on the androids.
suggestions?

Yes that is what I was referring to :-/
As of right now, you cannot root... I was previously rooted, but the update made it go away T_T. Bubby323 is getting a continuum for a little bit and should have it updated soon
I bought my Continuum yesterday, the 22nd. An update was immediately applied. Spent hours trying to root. Z4root (my go-to) wouldn't work after countless attempts. Gave up on an update.zip recovery. SUPERONECLICK is exactly how I was finally able to root...

anyone get wifi tether to work with froyo update?
ive been using wireless tether 3.0 beta without a problem just select sasmsung fascinate then enable softap mode.
works thanks
I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.
The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.

Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!
The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.
I'm having this problem for awhile, tried different things all end up when tethering my phone shuts off about 45min to 1h of tethering.
Currently on EC05, stock rom and wifi tether 3.0 pre 12 but tried them all and going down in version for more stable one.

Settings, choose device build and select the Epic.
Also, make sure 4G radio is OFF before starting it.
I have all that selected still no luck.

this happened to me on ef02 it only worked when plugged in to a power source.
I'd suggest uninstalling that one and switching to Barnacle Tether. I recall the WiFi Tether app having technical issues that the dev couldn't get around.

Since I'm on EC05 that didn't work but found patch that modified framework and now pure hot spot working without wifi tether, thanks again.

Hello
I have a Droid X on 2.3 It's rooted and everything and recently I tried tethering. Every time I connect to my phone with my iPad it sends me to Verizon's page to subscribe to tethering plan. I was using Wireless Tether..but that stopped working..so now I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether. That was working great until I updated to 2.3 I saw in the market WIFI Tethering but that wouldn't even download. Anyway for me to tether without verizon sending me to the subscribe to a tethering plan page?
Thank you

I am very curious now, because I am still on Froyo, and I just checked and my DroidX does indeed have the DataManager .apk and the database files! (by the way, the database has 50,000 records!) Does this mean that big red is also tracking tethering on Froyo??? The reason I kept refusing to switch to GB is because of that issue. Hmm..
Tried the patch above twice
Back to the drawing board I guess... I'm not really sure how to figure out this adhoc thing... With the beta app above, open garden, and barnacle I can see the SSID but it will not connect, and when I'm on my Xoom it says adhoc not supported. But the thing is, I could tether before, and I could connect with the xoom; before I installed MIUI 1.10.7 android version 2.3.5 gb
Before I flashed this rom I never heard of this adhoc... I am reading that there may be no fix for this right now, is that correct???
The link above installed okay, but when I go to open the app it installs I get a force close =/

Check your permissions on root explorer.
And example is
Use root explorer
Go too app data
Click on wifi tether
Check to make sure under owner execute is checked.
make sure if you got the wugfresh patch you select droid x under profile in settings. Common mistake.
Also with a custom rom you may want to go back to stock and try the wugfresh process again. I can assure you it works on a droid x. I've done it many times not with a custom rom though.
