I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Probably so, is there anyway someone can gain access to a "hacked" sprint hotspot for the Shift?

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Has anybody tried deleting their spint hotspot? I'm going to try that and check back later tonight.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Well deleting the spint hotspot made no difference. Now a few days later I can't even tether on 4G. Quite frustrating, this. Any suggestions?

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

My 4G tethering came back oddly enough. Maybe it was my area.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Mine is back working now too...that's really weird.
NYC here.
Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh
If any geniuses out there know what's causing this, or could help me determine what it is, I'd be eternally grateful.
I changed ro.product.model=SPH-D700 to Nexus S to get Netflix working. Netflix worked, but the email app would crash constantly.. I've since reverted my build.prop file and that fixed it. Is there anything anyone can think of that may be causing this?
A device authentication requirement inside of exchange. Any edits to that might permanently break exchange functionality. Because as I'm aware, it would be both on device and server.

Turns out either A. Netflix works without a build.prop mod, or B. just needed to be installed with it modded. Either way, I restored my old build.prop, netflix AND exchange work.
Huzzah.
Did you install netflix without authentication? The one without "device check"
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Netflix works without the build.prop mod, the mod is only needed to be able to download the netflix app from the market (because it isn't officially available for the Epic, because the Epic doesn't officially have GB yet)
Edit: the post above mind brings up a calif point that I neglected - you need the modified .apk for it to work without the build.prop mod

Yes, true. I did find the modified netflix app (a new one was just released today). I no longer want to throw my phone out the window
I'm having this problem for awhile, tried different things all end up when tethering my phone shuts off about 45min to 1h of tethering.
Currently on EC05, stock rom and wifi tether 3.0 pre 12 but tried them all and going down in version for more stable one.

Settings, choose device build and select the Epic.
Also, make sure 4G radio is OFF before starting it.
I have all that selected still no luck.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
this happened to me on ef02 it only worked when plugged in to a power source.
I'd suggest uninstalling that one and switching to Barnacle Tether. I recall the WiFi Tether app having technical issues that the dev couldn't get around.

Geez that made my phone unbootable (had back up) but made me more searching around that post so thank u. Since I'm on EC05 that didn't work but found patch that modified framework and now pure hot spot working without wifi tether, thanks again. The download is in the beginning of that original post call framework something read how to install.

I I just installed CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RCO-Epic last night. I have to say this is the first modded ROM that I am running and I love it.
But I cannot get Wifi Tether to work. I tried the Google version and also Barnacle. They both will run, ask for superuser, and they appear to start. But the SSID is not visible anywhere?
Is there anything out there that can fix this? Wifi Tether was working for me on the Stock Froyo (Rooted) but now wont work.....
Any help would be appreciated.

flash the latest nightly build
Check to see if your apps are saved to sd card, then move to sys memory(512MB), they should then be visible in your app drawer.......this is one possibility w/ your issue.
Also, as was suggested: reflash, could be a bad dl or bad flash.

Apps are not installed on the SD Card. Apps are visible in the app drawer.
The apps start fine and say they are running. I remember before I flashed with this ROM and using just the rooted Froyo I would get "Hotspot activated" and sort of a bullseye icon on the top. That does not happen, i only get the wifi tether icon on the top.
The build that I installed says on the first page the wifi drivers and such were fixed.
I am new to MOD'd Roms, if i install a nightly and it messes up, can i just re-install the original Modded ROM (both MTD), i konw that is a really basic question, but dont want to brick my phone.
You could also try the wifi tether that Flastnoles11 posted in the CM7 Discussin and tip sharing thread. It was about the 10th page so roughly just under post 100.

Why not use the wifi tether built into settings? That works perfectly fine for me.

I just got the lg g2 im on Verizon and have put the full root on it only to find out that sadly that it wont run any Wifi teathering apps even for rooted users. I have searched the forums and have found no soultion for this. I did find the hotspot provisions overide and was sure that would be a fix but couldnt get that to take. This phone is usless to me if i cannot wifi teather with it. Does ananyone know a way around this?

I'm having the same issue. I've read where Scott's CleanROM has working wifi tether, but I haven't tried it yet. If you give it a go, let me know if it works for you.

Can confirm. Running CleanROM on ATT and it wifi/bluetooth tethering works great.
Can any post a link to this rom?

It is awesome, I have not had any problems. It retains all the stock features like knock on without much bloat, which is the only reason I don't switch to CM or AOKP. A++++ Would recommend.

I use TWRP, but you could also install it using Clockwork. You will need to get the carrier-specific ROM for your version of the G2.
