I'm using the one click root from VISIONary but the wireless tether isn't working? Known problem or am I doing something wrong? It seems like its working but my girlfriends iphone won't pick it up.
I noticed this today also.
Mine works fine.. I did not use an ap from the market..
Google search wireless tehther apk and install that app it will work like a charm

That's what I did. No luck, if you could upload the one you have that would be great.

I couldn't get it to work with Wifi-Encryption checked but it worked when the network was open. Enjoy!
Works just fine for me
Works great for me
Odd, I'm still not able to using the apk in this thread. It gets granted su, says it's starting, then errors out saying unable to start. Wifi also gets turned off when it errors out.

I don't always have the temp root on, but after seeing this post I fired it up along with wifi tether. Worked fine for me. http and https on Gmail.
My wireless tether app wasn't working either until I downloaded the 1 here and I re-installed it and its working fine now. Maybe u had a bad version?

It was a out-dated version, but the one I downloaded here works great.. thanks!
Mine didn't work before either until I just updated to the new version and now all is good.

Does anyone know if any progress had been made with wireless tether yet? I have a ipad and I really loved having this ability on my nexus one. Does barnacle work with the ipad?

I dl'ed the latest and it showed up in the tether list (but didnt connect) but I am assuming it works. Its farther than I got with the last build. so its headway. Thanks for the linky to the latest build

No problem, just the 2.0.8 versions say HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL so they could not be as stable.
I am using barnacle wifi Tether right from the market, is working good, only issue is for some reason i cannot get WEP to work, so i have to keep it "open" but i only use it once and awhile so its not as big of a deal as it would be to others that use it allot. there is a thread already about it, that tells you what settings to use to make it work within the app.
Using pre7 apk of the wireless tether and it works most of the time, had a once the phone totally frozen had to do the three finger salute to reboot it.
Wireless Tether works. Have it on mine (rooted)
I was unable to get it working today using pre 7. Even barnacle wouldn't work without turning off wep encryption.

Same thing happened to me. It wouldn't work at all with the NoLED application running at the same time for some reason.
When tethering, the SSID will show up on my netbook, but not connect. It won't show up at all on my wife's phone.
None of the releases ever worked for me either. I'm rooted, I tried the experimental releases too. 5 shows up, I connect, but have no connection. Anything over just freezes the phone and I have to pull the battery.
I rooted my Fascinate, mostly to be able to WiFi tether it for my laptop and the Kindle I'm getting soon.
I've tried WiFi Android Tether app, Barnacle, and Barnacle Legacy.
The Barnacle App would give me an error along the lines of "Can't find eth0", then Barnacle Legacy(previous version) app did not give me an error but the laptop will just say "Connecting" then never actually connect.
I have the same problem with the WiFi Android Tether App where it keeps "Connecting" but never connects.
I don't think it is my laptop because I never have a problem connecting to any other WiFi...
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any help!!

Almost sounds like you're not fully rooted. Do you see the Superuser app in your app list? Also, did these apps ever prompt you to allow root access?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes
yes to superuser app.
the ADB prog says i am rooted
other root progs like SETCPU work
and the root progs ask for superuser permissions and i can set them
Look in General forum and for confirmed working widow tether. I use widow tether daily on mine. Works great. Have a nice day
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ive tried that exact one, computer wont connect.ive even tried pre12
I've tried quite a few different apps to no avail, but tried pre9 tonight and it appears to be working nicely.
I must be missing something, cause I'm a noob, but what is widow tether & where can I get it? Tried 2 barnacles & 3 wifi tethers with no success.

You need to use the wireless tether 2.0.5 pre9, not the latest version.
That one works 100%.
Newest ones don't. This is already covered somewhere in the stickies.

i am using Pre9. Thats the one I was originally using when the problem occured.
I'm using wireless tether pre11 right not and so far so good. I kept getting an issue where wireless tether would work for a short time (about 1 to 2 MB of data) and then would hang. pre11 is working good so far without this issue. give it s shot. you can always drop back to an older version.
I'm having the same problem, my Vista laptop sees the network and won't connect, my wife's Windows 7 netbook will connect now problem, so I know the phone is working right, it has to be something with Vista 64

I've had no problems with pre11...I've only used it a few times, but I did stream an entire episode on Hulu on my desktop and it worked without a hitch. I am on OSX.
FWIW, I happened to root & installl barnacle last night on my Fascinate. Barnacle worked happily once I made sure that A)Superuser automatically allows barnacle permissions and B) Skip wpa_supplicant was checked. I've only had an hour or two of testing, but no glitches.
Info: SCH-I500[RKAVZW] - i500.04, 2.1-update1, 2.6.29
Barnacle: Encryption: Off Access Control: unchecked, Ch:1 Custom Wifi Ad-hoc: none, Skip wpa_supplicant: checked, pp0, eth0, DHCP: 1200s lease, NAT 32000, 300, 100, 30, 90
I use Easy Tether and it works flawlessly.
Not sure exactly what is going on with your issue...however FWIW:
Any build of Wireless Tether would cut out on me occasionally - it wouldn't drop connection permanently, but rather for several seconds.
I use tethering to play online games that require a constant stream of data. Barnacle Wifi Tether Legacy works flawlessly. Never lose connection.
Are we looking at a fluke kernel issue with the OP's question?
I have tried all of these options and can't get any to work. The only thing that does is the stock hotspot app I reprogrammed from a thread here. How are you getting this to work? Do I need to remove the vzw hotspot app first?

Barnacle (did not try legacy) is also more stable for me than wireless tether pre9/11/12
I rooted my buddies epic today and installed wifi tether and we couldn't get it to work. The app was granted su permission and turns on, but no PC or other wifi phones can find it. Any ideas? Trying to leave him on a stock rooted rom because he has no idea what's going on. Thanks.

Wireless Tether from the market doesn't work, you'll need a different version. Uninstall the one from the market and install the latest one from here (pre11 works for sure, but the newer ones should also): http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

also what did you root with z4 root or 1click.

Try turning on access control and add the computer to it. That's always worked for me.

I think your issue is that Wireless Tether creates an ad-hoc network, and most (if not all?) Android devices cannot connect to ad-hoc networks (at least without some work). It's working fine, just the Evo cannot connect to it. You would need a laptop or something else. As suggested, try MobileAP, since it works in infrastructure mode.
I pulled the .apk file from the syndicate rom and that one worked with no issues at all.
Attached are the files I used. I put them on my SD card and installed. Up and running with no issues.
This is what you gotta do.. get it all installed and open it... then hit "menu" followed by "access control" ...when that page pops up, at the top right corner there's a box that's unchecked... check that box... now trn on the tether, alow a minute for the computer to pick it up then try to connect... when it pops up it'll show "androidtether" as the name... connect to it... at this point it'll ask your phone for permission, so slide down the statusbar and click on the little image that pops up... it'll take you back to the "access control" page and beside where the computer just showed up, click the little box and it should start tethering at that point... hope that helps...
Note: these steps are for the apps listed in post #2 that you download from google.

To get wireless tether to work, you need to go to the WT Google code website and download the latest beta version.

The app wireless tether does not work for me anymore. It says wireless tether has started with errors. I check the log and many things failed such as setting channel, setting essid, setting ad-hoc mode, and activating wifi interface. How can I get this to work? Running CM7 with the HDMI kernel.
Same here. I tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. I'm using UD and Myn's.
doesn't work on cm7 with savage zen either
no errors but nothing will see it when scanning
The only thing I have got to work is Barnacle..and also the built in hot spot works well too.
I've been having the same issue. Barnacle works but that only does an adhoc network, so my PS3 and Kindle won't connect to it
Works fine on my stock 2.2 Evo. Just used it today.

I had the same problem, but I was able to get it working with version 2.08-pre1 ***Experimental***. The latest version did not work for me on CM7 nightly, and the native one didn't work either, but the version above works like a charm!
Native one works perfect for me on CM7 build 22.
Works great on ava z3 rom for 3g as for 4g I have to use the green tether or i get the you have not subscribed to this service call sprint like yea I'm gonna pay to use 4g and kill my battery

go into rom manager and choose fix permissions.. bingo!
if that doesnt work check wifi settings and make sure that you dont already have a preinstalled tethering app ( some newer roms like destroyer have this built in )
Try a different kernel

You can tether, however the 3G wireless hotspot no longer works, I do believe Wireless Tether still works however
Didnt work for me... Tried using code.android wifi tether for root users yesterday and it did not work.
Think the application has to be updated.

Contact the developer. I use usb tethering through easytether, and it works perfectly
I had two tether apps, both failed under .595...depressing.
Someone inboxed me that the older version of the tether app works under GB, but I haven't tried looking for it. I will probably take JMoney47's advice and use easytether since he says it works.

Are you talking about the paid built in 3G Hotspot? That's working fine for me. Also one thing I like is how Motorola actually kept the code in for USB tethering now as well. I like this because now I don't have to worry about VZAccess manager which never supported the X - I just use my Mobile Hotspot/USB Tether 2GB plan with the built in USB Tether.
If your talking about rooted wireless tether, my buddy said he had issues with it. But the "official" one works.
wifi tether
