[Q] Fascinate WiFi tether

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

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?

Wireless tether on cm7

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

Phone to Tablet Internet

Just found an awesome APP in the market called Pdanet Tablet you install it on your phone then on your tablet and use bluetooth to get internet to your tablet via your android phone!!!!
It works pretty well on my Epic to my Transformer!
No Root needed (This will be for those of us who have not hacked our phones to send off Wifi already.)

Not working on my tab :\
Edit: I fixed it. reboot helped.

Awesome find, thanks! It's not quite working consistently for me, but I was hoping the PdaNet dev would make a version just like this. I'm sure he'll get it working reliably soon enough...

tethering off my nexus s, 2.3 hotspot w00t.

Anyone get this to work on Droid X, 2.3?

An update: after I installed this app, my TF Internet connectivity was completely hosed. It might be coincidental, although I doubt it. Essentially, I lost the ability to connect to a number of services via wifi, even after I uninstalled the app. Couldn't connect to Google properties, Tapatalk couldn't connect, etc. Absolutely miserable.
Only way to fix it was to do a factory reset. Multiple reboots and reconfigs of wifi settings did nothing.
Moral: be careful with this app.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I have not installed it yet in my tablet.
But I just read it from the market and they said you should remove the proxy setting after using it, otherwise the internet will not work anymore.
Not sure if they meant you will have to remove the proxy setting everytime you finished using it. That will be a hassle if we need to switch between wifi and BT every time.

works for me bluetooth tethering to my Droid Incredible. Havent tried it longer than 30 mins so I havent experienced any disconnects yet.
You do have to reset the proxy every time you use the app (set it to use it, disable it when your done). If you dont, wifi wont connect anymore (at least for me).
It is a little bit of a hassle, but i can live with it. At least the app gives you a shortcut to quickly change the setting.

Are you getting 4G speed off your Epic? I'm using wifi tether right now and only getting 3G speeds even if 4G is enabled, what kind of speeds are you getting?

Not sure why you need an app. I wifi tether with my Nexus S and it works fine. Just have 2gb package from ATT. They don't seem to care.

I got it installed, and everything went smoothly except I have no internet access via browser, or gmail.
Otherwise, this looks like a good app, easy to use.

I tried this PDANet for Tablet. The first beta release was buggy and there was a lot of disconnects with some debugging prompts.
Then I saw they updated it several days ago.
After updating it, its still not a smooth experience.
Got it connected to the phone, launch the browser and I could browse the web, but after 2-3 web pages, then it will stop working.
Email does not seem to work for me. Both GMail client and the native Email client, none works for me. Google Map seems to work.
But again, the connection dropped very frequently.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for the TF101 when the phone you want to tether to is not an android device. I am still using my trusty HTC HD2, and it's WiFi hotspot is "ad hoc" and not seen by the TF, and its bluetooth creates a PAN, and rudely tells me that the TF needs a NAP.
Maybe I can use the "windows mobile version of PdaNet on the phone with the android tablet PdaNet client on the TF??

Wifi hot spot on G2x works perfect and I get 4g speed will post screen shot when I figure out how..

Got Wireless tethering to work But....

Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.

Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.

I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.

I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.

I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?

how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?

It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.

This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.

Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks

I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

I use wifi tether to connect my thunderbolt to my gt10.1. With version 3 I have it set to softap (master) not ad hoc. Access control is on and I have the routing fix box checked for htc phones. I tethered well over 1gb this morning with no problems

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!

Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.

I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!

[HOW TO] TETHER in INFASTRUCTURE Via 4G

Hello all this question has been raised Countless times!! Well I just Figured something out that has worked FOR ME!!
HOW CAN YOU TETHER IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE in 4G? No more tethering with 3g only with android ap or 4g in AD-HOC with wifi tether for root users..
What does this mean?
You can now connect to your devices that cannot connect to the AD-HOC (PEER) signal!!
EXAMPLE TABLETS, PS3 and anything else that cannot pick up the peer to peer Signal.
Also Allows Much faster tether speeds Via 4g as compared to AD-HOC
currently us users are only able to connect to 3g via The Native Tether AP you are not able to tether via 4g IN Via Infrastructure!!
My current set up if it matters ICS ROM and Mathkids most recent kernel!! And WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS Exactly..
1. Assuming Your set up is similar (as i have not verified it works any other way) Install WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
2. Open up the tether program - select device profile - Chose Galaxy nexus CDMA
3.Change Setup Method - Select Netd (Master)
4. Change Device Profile - Select Samsung Epic 4g
5 - Start to tether as you would normally AND OBSERVE!! MAGIC IT NOW IS TETHERING IN INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
Hopefully Wifi tether for root users can now be updated to allow the NS4g TO TETHER!! This is important and I know the few people that understand what I am talking about will surely appreciate this!!

Thanks a lot i will definitely give this a try.

I can confirm it causes reboots but only after heavy usage, for instance I have multiple devices connected and I get a phone call while I have an app already open. I notice my battery temperature goes up to around 104 or higher when it happens. Most time its fine though.

I'm getting really slow internet this way. Normally I get about 1.5MB/sec with 4G usb tether, and now I get about 300KB/sec with wifi tether. The 4G icon shows, but I'm just not getting proper speeds. Also, speedtest showed I was getting about 60KB/sec with 4G wifi tether
Oh, and I can't get any ap passwords to work, either. The wifi app accepts them just fine, but windows says it's wrong.

This setup works perfect (FOR ME) FOR 4G in Infrastructure, as far as 3g just use android AP - Native tether - i used it for 5 and a half hours last-night plugged in not 1 reboot - make sure your set up is similar maybe the kernel or something.
IT IS DEFINITELY FASTER as i was averaging 6 Mbps down. I live in a 4g area - so this may only apply to certain individuals!!
IM USING IT AS I POST
ALSO I WAS USING HEAVY NETFLIX VIA PS3 and my computer connected downloading...
I would look into a combination of kernels - ALSO NOTE MY PHONE SETUP -

Nice! Works well with this set up connecting to my tablet in infrastructure with 4g. Battery temp isn't getting that high either.

this is working great, thank you. im currently connected to 3 devices. my pc,tv and tablet. my tv is currently streaming netflix in hd and im surfing the web and typing this message with my pc. getting 4g tether speeds between 7-10 mbs. i am running bigxie rom with latest mathkid kernal. those who are having troubles make sure you follow the instructions and not just install the apk and run it

I finally got this working better. I had to change my rom from CM9 3.0 to aokp 25, then I changed to channel 11...now I get about 1600KB down. I tried streaming some video, but it's choppy. I don't know how some people are doing it, but it's just not smooth enough for me. So if I want to watch TV, I can switch to usb...but at least I can browse, download, etc with wifi and not have to leave my phone all the way across the living room
Thanks for the great guide!!!
oh, btw...setting the app to epic 4g touch works on NS4G, as well

Note the setup above your post seemed to actually have worked better for me. This setup obviously works best for the people who need this in 4g areas who need infrastructure..

Yeah, after I posted yesterday I saw the one above, and I'm running n1 settings now works great!
