I'm kind of a noob to all this stuff so please go easy on me. Anyways, my phone wouldn't root on my laptop because the laptop wouldn't recognize it even after installing drivers and trying a million times so I couldn't root through that. So I turned to z4root which was a one click app root on the market...since then everythings worked good like superuser titanium backup etc. But for some reason my wifi tetherin won't work...any ideas?
It comes up as a network on my computer with good strength but when I go to connect it never does...
Thanks

No actually I have 2 laptops...one is running windows vista 64 bit which I was thinking might be a reason...and my other one is the Google chrome os cr-48 notebook...neither can connect :/...any other ideas?
Could it be a sucky root or something?
Thanks again...

Really? I haven't had any trouble connecting Windows 7 to my wifi tether.
To the OP, do you have access control on? If so, you may have to grant the computer access. Press menu, access control and select your computer on that screen, then apply changes. Hope this helps.

Why.don't u try mobileap? What wifi tether are you using? It wouldn't be your root. That has nothing to do with it. Your either rooted or your not.

I just rooted my phone and installed the Wifi Tether app thats so popular, off the market. Unfortunately, when I run it, and enable tethering, I can't find it on my laptop,or my other phone. Any ideas? Anyone else having issues?

i used barnacle wifi tether and it worked flawless for me!
Even barnacle doesn't work for me!

So it seems that the droid x is just picky with what can connect to it. Fitting as I have issues with my droid staying connected to my wifi when saturating the bandwidth on the wifi (downloading from another computer on the lan). Anyway, its working fine right now between the dx and my hp netbook.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Just a heads up guys... it seems that after rebooting my phone, I'm able to tether again... I also noted that I havent ended any apps or anything. I also haven't enabled my wifi yet.

Exact same problem, Barnacle works sometimes, Android Wifi tether doesn't show up in Windows.
Works fine from my MT3G but not from my DroidX.
Barnacle is actually working pretty good right now. 1900Kb/s down just now with a solid connection for the past 10 minutes.
Just bought a rooted Evo on Craigslist which has fresh Rom but for some reason I can't tether it. I installed several WiFi tendering apps but when I try to connect to it using my pc, it says no internet access. Tried on Vista and win7.
any ideas why its doing this? Thanks

Lol, tendering, sorry, had to do it. But try pre8.

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.
Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing
I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.
actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc
I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.
I've seen a little about this - but couldn't find the answer.
Sorry if I'm repeating on someone else's thread.
I've got a Rooted (EC07) Continuum right now & just came from a Droid 1 (which I loved).
I can't find a way to remove the 3G Mobile Hotspot app from Verizon.
On my D1, I previously used Wireless Tether 2 & it was so awesome.
No when I open up the 3G otspot, it takes the device that is hooking up to my hotspot to a Verizon web page that requests a subscription.
I just want to use it free again, like on my D1.
Any suggestions on how I could do this?
I have already tried downloading other Wireless Teher apps apps & none of them seems to work properly.
Thanks.
I suppose you could remove the app with an explorer or Titanium Backup. I doubt it would get rid of it in the settings menu. I use open garden, and it works fine (assuming you aren't trying to connect with something that can't use ad-hoc)

Why not you guys check out wireless tether beta 7 or whatever they are onto now, and go to settings, and set it as a fascinate xD then you can actually use it as a regular network, not adhoc xP
Also, I think 3g hotspot is a part of settings.apk if I remember correctly xP so you can't really get rid of it :l

thats funny... I googled wireless tether beta7, and this post is the first hit that comes up...

The app is built into the framework of the ROM I believe, or is tied into another piece of the ROM that can't be removed. The only way to really "remove" it is to use a launcher that allows you to hide app icons and just remove it from view.
Barnacle wi fi tether works
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Thanks guys.
I appreciate the info. Just got wifi tether 6.
Also you can "freeze" 3g hotspot, and anything else that's annoying you, using "Bloat Freezer", found in the market for $1.99. Or with Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) which is worth its weight in gold anyway.
that literaly does nothing except prevent the app from running and the app dosnt run in the background when your not using it. the bloat freezer is ment for apps using gps and updating weather that drains your battery.
