It's not working because you have to root the phone. You can use the Visionary app in the Market (thanks MoDaCo) to do a temp root, and then run tethering app. I haven't found the temp root to be damaging, but you're doing this at your own risk.
Official tmo WiFi tether is free till the 14th when they add the option for thether... 14. 99

I am rooted... or it would have said it can't gain super user rights.
Anyone else had any luck with this? I can get it to run, start the network, see the SSID, etc. But I never get an IP address on my client device. Worked fine on my G2, but doesn't work on the myTouch 4G.
Nevermind, I downloaded the newest version and it works perfectly:

This thread is talking about apples and oranges.
I'd like to see the "official" froyo tether work. The Google code one will work with or without the tethering plan, as will PDANet and other apps.
Once we see the "hotspot" feature working, we can reverse the setting that enables it without T-Mo's permission.

BTW, where did you get this info? When I launch the built-in app, I see the SSID but dhcp doesn't seem to work. There's no agreement (like most other trial-ware junk like Tmo TV) - so what gives? If it's free, it certainly isn't working so far.
You guys are aware of the native wifi hotspot app already installed on the phone?

Anyone know whether the MobileAP from the Samsung phones, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804, works on this phone or the G2, or is it only for the Samsung phones?
I know there is 'Wireless Tether,' but I need infrastructure vs. ad-hoc.

wifi tether
i can't get preinstalled wifi hotspot on my mytouch to work. can anyone help?
Just to let you know that you can use this instead of changing apn settings, i tried that and seemed to freeze, used barnacle the first time this morning and its been working flawlessly all day.
Agreed... Barnacle works perfectly.
The APN route is cleaner, but unreliable.
I also agree, I am waiting to get on my home wireless before the market will allow me to download Barnacle thanks to AT&T market filtering, but I have been running a google tethering app for the time being and it is much easier and faster to use, just not as "clean" I guess.
My Phones:
Motorola MicroTAC Elite
Nokia 7160
Nokia 6340i
Nokia 6230
Nokia 6682
HTC Tilt
HTC Fuse
HTC Tilt2 (custom ROM)
Samsung Captivate (custom ROM,rooted)
Motorola Atrix (rooted)
I'm using "wireless tether for root". How is barnacle compared to that? wpa is the only difference i noticed in their features.

is barnacle on the market?
I don't see it listed on Android market anywhere.
You won't - ATT blocks it. Google search, they have a website to download the .apk. Have to be rooted of course to sideload it.
To get blocked Apps on in market, just turn your phone on without the sim. Download and install all you want without sim.

You do in fact need root access for this program and also if you use MarketAccess you can trick the market into thinking you are on T-Mobile and get Barnacle.
strange..
I rooted and tried it from app brain, but I keep getting the requested item could not be found. Is there another way i need to install it?
thanks
Of course it works, we have been talking about it since the 19th....

Search is your friend!
To get it to work you need root. Also you will need market enabler..which just tricks the market into thinking your phone runs on another service provider..as att blocks alot of apps

Ahhh, no..... while I can't say I know this for an absolute fact, DG said he's been APN tethering the crap out of his Atrix for the past week and AT&T hasn't "caught on," or nothing. With Barnacle, I'd say it would be even harder to "catch" someone wirelessly tethering - they never caught me or anyone else I know when I was using my Captivate!

I've used barnacle for the last 5 months and no change in my plan.
I have my Atrix rooted and have installed Barnacle but I get "Permission Denied" from Barnacle and then "Stopped Unexpectedly". Then the ATT hot spot validation comes up in the task bar and says account not setup. Any idea what I may have missed here?

First, we don't provide illegal apk's here. If you want pdanet, buy it.
Second, if you are rooted, you can get Wireless Tether from the market for free, or flash a rom that has built in wifi tethering or usb tethering.
If wireless tether doesn't show up in the market (doesn't for me) a google search will being you to the project page.

As a current PDANet user I can tell you that validation is done on the computer side not on the phone side, i.e. the apk is just a conduit it does not perform any kind of validation/key checks on its own.

And pdanet isn't an illegal Apk there is a free and a paid version just because sprints being a bunch of *****es and blocked it from download doesn't mean its illegal they also blocked wireless tether for root users and barnacles wifi on my end both free apps so are you saying because sprint blocked em they are now illegal? Even tho I can still go get wireless tethers source straight from Google a bypass sprints retarded rules?
sent from my ics'd out EViL4G
I've tried installing the apk a few times using both App Brain and ES File Explorer but they both fail to install. ES says the install has completed, but no icon shows up in the app tray. Can Sprint actually block the app from being sideloaded, or is this some other kind of issue. My wife's Evo isn't rooted and she needs USB tethering.
Easy, download the official Pdanet.exe from your evo, then transfer it to your desktop and run it. The exe installs the apk. Job done.
I tried that, actually, but I get a "Fail to install" error on her macbook and nothing loads on the phone. I tried searching June Fabrics site for the error, but no info.
Just go to 4shared.com and search pdanet.apk most paid apps are available for free download.
We gotta help eachother, not police a site... Like that asshole earlier!

So, what is the difference between using an alternative android market to download free apps and rooting your phone to use a paid service (tether) for free? Seems like the same thing to me. Or am I missing something?
Hi,
I was setting up this phone for my brother. Was surprised to see no root, roms, or unlocking as this is a really nice phone for the price.
I'm not a super gung ho android dev, but I have some reverse engineering experience so I'm gonna see if I can make some shellcode run on an apk or library with root perms and get a root shell running. No promises.
Anyway: If you want tethering, the Power Toggles app will turn on the hotspot without checking to see if you have hotspot account permissions on Boost. Set it up in the More Settings part of Android's Settings, it is the built-in Android tethering code.

You can use Power Toggles, or if hot spot is all you want you can use HotSpot Toggle. You have to add them as widgets.

On 305SH, if you setup "Nova" Launcher and you create a shortcut, you select "Activities" and go in the list and select "Settings", and Inside "Thetering & Hotspot" :
You will have a menu to allow you tethering Bluetooth or Wifi.
It works great with 305SH (I tryed bluetooth).
Yes, with some programs tethering is active but teams are not conecting to the internet, is blockage for the operator in the case of 306 is boost mobile or sprint, someone will know how to disable this block

foxfi works
Paid app called foxfi works for WiFi/USB tethering. Bluetooth tethering untested. Runs around $5 has a trail version with data caps for tethering. PDA net reqired on PC for USB tethering. No root required.
---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------
I use my aquos as a WiFi dongle for my laptop router>(WiFi)>aquos>(USB thether)>PC
I've used it spairingly as a WiFi hotspot so if boost sends you messages quarrying into how your using hotspot and why your not paying for it and any possible consequences that may occur is on you, I'm not responsible.
---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
Would also like to clarify 306sh on boost mobile. Only tested on that network (obviously that model). So results may vary. Just use the Fofxi sprint app, you purchase a key to unlock paid version for regular and sprint I.e. one time buy for both versions on 1 google account=possible no root solution to free hotspot on multiple devices down the road . (I'm assuming it works with sprints but they charge overages so unless your somehow still grandfathered in to an unlimited plan I'd recommend against it) that works with boost, Straighttalk (Walmarts Tracphone plan), and virgin mobile, that I've tested, but is a hit or miss on phone models, so far only phone I've seen it work on KitKat so yay sharp for not caring about blocking app permission to hotspot toggle, don't update you might lose feature from app and have to wait till root.
Another's person can confirm that with boost Mobile and how I can do

Is that a free app and does it work after latest update, foxfi (part of pdanet) works as well. My guess is the same reason but is a paid app so this seems much more promising since its free. Someone was saying it wasn't working for them but its worked fine for me, but I have yet to get the new update that came out (only update so far), does yours work after update, if so IMA update and test my luck with foxfi. Either way thanks for the heads up. And yes I was a little shocked at the lack of development for this phone as well, sharps got it on lock down.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.
Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
