is there any way to get my evo to tether to my Zune HD, I'm currently fully rooted and running baked snack v .8, planning on upgrading to v .9 when I get time. I just want to download songs on the go with my Zune, but when I use wirelesstether, no wifi hotspot is detected from my zune, yet it works with my laptop? Is this because the evo is being an ad-hoc network or something? or is it in AP-mode? Idk how to get my zune to see the evo at all...
Yeah i would like that too
Have you tried using the latest beta of Wireless Tether? It works differently than the one on the stable version
how/where do I get the beta version?

Also just checked it with my Zune HD and seems to work fine.
Yup, works here too! Thanks!
Zune marketplace mobile FTW!
Requires root I suppose.
Glad I could help And yeah, root required for Wireless Tether
Did not work for me
I ran into this same problem, part of the problem is the way wireless tether works (stable) and the way the Zune Works. Zunes do not connect to Ad-hoc networks, which is created when you use Wireless tether. Since im paying for wireless tether through sprint hotspot, i use that tool it creates a AP Network which the Zune will connect to. I did read that Wireless Tether will now have the ability to create an AP network, which will fix those issues.
The newest Wireless Tether works in infrastructure mode. My zune paired with my EVO just fine. I'm not rooted now though.
Also Wireless Tether is available in the market now too.
Updated my stock 2.1 DX today with new 2.2, rooted, loaded titanium backup, cleaned up some bloat and loaded wireless tether. All is good, the phone works great! Went to use wifi tether and hooks up great to laptop with full signal, but here the kicker, tether doesnt connect to 3g, so no internet. Any idea's?
Are you using the 3G mobile hotspot or a Tethering App from the market or something
I'm running Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre9.
I'm having the same problem. running the same version of wireless tether. I didn't remove any bloatware or anything, I just have the apps hidden using launcher pro, so basically stock. Worked fine before update.

I didn't know they had a DX working version, it doesn't show in their website. Is it ad-hoc or real wifi hotspot?
2.2 messes withe the settings. Try Barnacle. There is a extra setting it has for 2.2.

do you have access control enabled?
Yep I changed the access setting and no go. Then I removed it and loaded barnacle and had the same issue.
Barnacle worked for me on 2.1 but not on 2.2. What is this "setting for 2.2" that makes barnacle work?
Wireless Tether for Root (by Muller) works for me on 2.2. But the connection is very much hit and miss. I end up using Easy Tether (usb) 90% of the time. I wish I could find a way to keep the connection more stable. Bc wireless is just easier.
I seem to remember having to do something with my connection settings on my computer a long time ago to enable ad-hoc connections when I first started tethering on WinMo with the HTC tether. Sorry I can't remember now.
Having the same issue here with Barnacle after 2.2 update. =(
I just rooted my DX 2.2 and I'm using Wireless tether version 2.0.2 I downloaded this morning from the market and I'm using my iPad and laptop off of it right now. But barnacle isn't working for me tho.
I notice a lot of people are having issues. I'm not (on leaked 2.3.15) but I am on an older version... 2.0.2
I should be more clear, I'm on the ota release of 2.2 with the 2.0.2 version of wireless tether.
DL OTA, rooted with Droid 2, installed Koush Clockwork and Recovery, then installed Free Wifi Tether. Ran Speedtest at 1.1 M download. I'd say NPs here. Just my 2 cents
Used Barnacle with 2.1... up'd to the leaked 2.2 and Barnacle stopped working. Wireless Tether (from the market) works fine, but not if I'm using Access Controls (which seems to be the general state of that app right now).
I know I'm awfully late to the game, but if I root and tether like you guys are, Verizon can't tell? I won't get the extra charge for tether service? Sorry for the noob question.
My Droid X is rooted and I regularly use Wireless Tether for Root app. I purposely bought the Xoom Wi/fi instead of the 3g for this wonderful advantage. I've review steps for the Xoom 3G tether, but I'm thinking this is a little different for the Wi/Fi model. When i am tethering from my Droid X, my Xoom does not recognize my network? Dont know if anyone has had some success on this yet.
Forgot to add, my xoom is unlocked and rooted as well.
Make sure you are using Infrastructure mode on the Droid X.
EDIT: I can't seem to find that option at the moment...
Well i couldnt figure it out using the Wireless Tether for Root app, but it worked flawlessly using the 3G Hotspot app by verizon, using Team Blackhat's hack.
I don't know how it is on the Droid X, but my Wi-Fi Xoom tethers to my Captivate just fine.
miui on evo 4g tether works fine. set up my first boot in the parking lot with it.
I use the stock tethering app on MT4G and GS4G and it works great. When i try wifi tether i cant see the network either. I had this same problem on my ZuneHD.
Using an Eris right now and I'm having no luck with bluetooth or normal tether. Eris is rooted, Xoom WiFi model is not.
EDIT: Just found out that the Eris uses Ad-Hoc for tethering not AP. Looks like I may be screwed.
Just a followup, I setup the Wireless Tether for Root on my Droid X and my xoom connects to it no problem.
Ive been able to connect to both TBH hotspot hack and wireless tether with no issues.

Download Fission ROM Manager, install Fission ROM for DX, install tether patch and 3G Hotspot app. Tethering to Xoom should work...
Tether patch will modify NVRAM on DX and the 3G Hotspot is just a modified Verizon Hotspot app. Get all the tethering you want without having a tethering package
Fwiw : my Dinc running CM7 teathers fine with my Wifi Xoom just using the native teather feature. No downloads or setup required.

My N1 tethers to my Xoom just peachy, no root or anything needed.
It appears that AdHoc mode on Droid X and Samsung Epic work fine with the Xoom? Maybe im nuts, but I thought Android wouldn't connect to ad hoc....im probably nuts.
I'm having no luck tethering my recently purchased wifi xoom. I am using a mytouch 3g with all variants of wireless tether.... i know my tether works because my rooted nook with CM7 can see it and LOGIN with no problems. I added the wpa variant that helped my nook see ad hoc wireless.
Please if someone has a solution i will be externally grateful.
Yeah my xoom wasn't reading my phones tether since its adhoc(Using WirelessTether from market), on their website they have a new thing called "wifi tether" and it works perfectly.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
"WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.0-pre12 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***"
Then in setup method change it from adhoc to softap, so far so good..
phone: epic 4g (galaxy s)

Thanks but unfortunately my phone (mytouch magic) doesn't give me that option. I tried nexus one device and selected softap, but still no good.
Looks like I need to somehow tweak my wifi xoom to recognize ad hoc wireless router. I have just 6 months till my phone contract ends, but that's too long to wait.... if this doesn't work i may have to return my xoom
Anyone know how to unlock the ad hoc wireless on the zoom?

Has ANYONE found out ANYTHING about tethering w/ the ERIS? I can connect via bluetooth BUT then my Eris reboots and I lose the connection.
This is the only issue that probably will have me returning if I can't connect to internet on my phone when I'm away from wifi.

Sounds like we need to tweak the wpa file in system>app to make it accept ad hoc.
I have Samsung Captivate with mobile AP enabled. However i am not able to get good tethering speed on my xoom. I ran a speedtest on the captivate which has HSUPA enabled and i get 1.5MB download speed and 2MB upload but my xoom barely gets 100KB download. Any ideas?

That's interesting, i tested HTC DHD stock hotspot app yesterday with my laptop (i don't have a Xoom yet). If i run a speed test on my phone, i get about 4,5mbit download speed but if i do a speed test on my laptop i only get about 2mbit. Why is that?
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.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?
I got the native tether to work thanx guys

^^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.
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.
