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?

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

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

Thanks for the pre9 info. I was having issues connecting and it fixed things right up.

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

Anyone having issues with the Wireless Tether app? Whenever I try using it, my phone keeps constantly dropping its 3g data connection. I also discovered that my WiFi connection on the phone itself kept dropping connections. Couldn't even stream a full minute on any YouTube video without it cutting out. Uninstalled Wireless Tether, and my WiFi has worked fine ever since.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Or, is there another wireless tether app I can try?

i use Barnacle (the Legacy version). It works great with my Fascinate. I had wireless tether at first but my mac would never locate the signal. Barnacle hasnt failed me yet.

Ditto.. before you spend too much time trying to get to the bottom of this, give Barnacle Legacy a shot.
I had a similar problem with both Wireless Tether and Barnacle Tether, but once I used Barnacle Legacy, I'm able to tether my iPad!
Wow, you guys are awesome! I've got Barnacle Legacy installed, and it works great! No degradation in wifi performance that I can see. Looks like it uses a different approach than Wireless Tether, which makes it more compatible across different phones.
Only downside I see at the moment is that it can only use WEP encryption, which was rendered obsolete ages ago. WPA support would be a big plus. I don't necessarily have anything to hide, just don't like to make myself an easy target.

Were you using the experimental version? It's working well for me.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre9.apk
Yes, I was using the latest version, which btw is listed as experimental on the website. I don't see a non-experimental one available. In any case, Barnacle is my friend for the time being.

Huh... I could never get my computer to connect to Barnacle. It's got full bars and I have Windows 7. I can't figure out how to make it work for me.
I've tried several versions of wireless tether, barnacle and barnacle legacy and it gives them all root access, but nothing with WiFi is able to successfully connect.
Remember that wireless tethering uses ad-hoc connections, not infrastructure, like your wireless router does. If your wireless devices don't play nice with ad-hoc connections, that could be your issue. Check to see if there are driver updates for the wireless card in your computer.

I'm glad I stumbled across this post. I gave barnacle legacy a try because I was having issues with the latest wifi tether. Legacy works just fine. Thanks for the suggestion!

Anyone notice barnacle legacy dropping connections when trying to stream videos.
I setup the latest barnacle from the market (not the legacy version) and it works beautifully. Have WEP and the ACL up and running, and it works great.
And how do you set up barnacle

There is a good chance that Xbox live won't work with Barnacle since it uses an ad-hoc connection. I know the PS3 doesn't work with ad-hoc but not 100% sure on the Xbox.

All the updates are current, not sure about drivers. I am running pre11, but have tried 11 as well and get the same results, no connection to my laptop running Vista, connects just fine to the netbook running windows7.
The xbox sees the connection and connects to it, I just get NAT set to strict notice.

So, I managed to get my X rooted about an hour ago (using a script and the XDA-Dev package). I installed the wireless tether app (that worked on my little Eris) and I can connect to it with my laptop but there's no internet access. I feel like I'm so close but have to be missing something. I love the phone otherwise-- makes the Eris look like a slug.
Any ideas? I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Messing with these phones is a lot of fun.
Thanks!

Go to the wifi tether google code page and download the latest beta. Your netbook wont see ad-hoc, so you need wifi tether 3.0

I have a 1410 and it connects to Wifi Tether 3.0 release 10 without issues on stock EB13 rooted.
Thanks for the input. I have tried 3 different tethering programs, barnacle, wifi, etc and none of them work. I guess i will jsut have to be happy with PD Net for the time being. There is just something about this laptop. It sees the adhoc netowrk it just won't connect to it.
I have the 1810tz and it works great with Wifi tether 3.0.

when you tried Android-wifi-tether you probably tried the stable version..not the beta...download the beta here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11.apk&can=2&q=
it should work...
I used Odin to put the phone back to stock. then I flashed the ROM to 2.2.1. Then I used one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip to root the device. I then downloaded the file from the link above and installed WiFi Tether and it starts up. then I have both the WiFi Tether icon and an additional Hot Spot icon then the phone just freezes. Does it have to be ext4? I am a noob but learning.
Update: Went back ind rooted with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and converted to ext4 and changed the config to Samsung and it seems to be working.
Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?

Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ions-of-wifi-tether-app-for-evo-21-wont-work/
I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.
As of last night im no longer able to use barnacle, wireless tether, or open garden. I've been running EF 3.6 since its release and just a week ago barnacle worked fine. Now when I connect it continues to say nat down and restarts. The only thing I can of is maybe I updated barnacle and its glitchy but that wouldn't explain why the other two aren't working. Out of ideas, and Im wondering if a noob like me can get some answers.

Have you tried restarting your phone? It could be that the WiFi is in a screwed up state. Enabling and then disabling wifi in Settings might also be able to sort it out.
Yeah I've restarted and reset wifi multiple times to no resolve. I think ill just wait until there is another update for barnacle then see what happens. Like I said though it still doesn't explain the other two not working. Any more suggestions though? I hate it when something works then stops for unexplaniable reasons...

This is exactly what it says when I try barnacle. Nat:restart: network is down. Waiting for uplink interface....and when I try garden or wifi tether it lets me connect my laptop with win 7 (the only device I've been trying) and everything looks fine but no data is transferred. Soo weird.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Barnacle works fine for me, neither wifi tether nor open garden do. I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue, but it may hint that the issue isn't with the barnacle version.
Im thinking most of the success people have with OG/WT are on different phones or a previous version. I tried to install an earlier version of both and it told me that I had insufficient space which was complete bs. When I tried the latest version it locks up constantly and apparently hates it when you try to change a setting while the wifi is activated.
