Wireless Tether

Hey guys,
I previously owned an htc hero and had a fantastic wireless tether app on the phone. I can't seem to find the app in the market and am wondering if i can find it somewhere on xda. I've tried everything i can find on the market but nothing seems to help. Barnacle Legacy tether works but then gives me a NAT error.
Thanks for your help.

You need to be rooted.

Seems to work great. I was able to tether and watch netflix in the car on a laptop.

Has anyone tried this on froyo? I was hoping we'd finally get infrastructure mode but I still show up as ad hoc to my laptop.

It won't be infrastructure...for it to be infrastructure it has to be configured for it by the author specifically for each device. There are plenty asking for it from Droid X to etc so we are in a long line...just wait for Official Froyo so we can get MobileAP..

[Q] Wireless Tether app

My girlfriend recently got a MyTouch 3G, and I was thinking about rooting it for her. I have a couple questions. I've read about some of the Roms and the rooting process.
1. Does the Wireless Tether for root users app work? I saw that some Roms have USB tethering unlocked, which will also work, I just hoping to use Wireless Tether.
2. What ROM would you recommend? I want to be on a Sense based ROM. I haven't figured out if its A or B but it has the headphone jack.

There is no sense rom for the headphone jack, but however there are rom that have root+wireless tether. Go to www.theunlockr.com and there are how to's to root. and there are also all roms for your phone that are linked to xda

You can go here instead to root. There are Sense UI ROM's that you can flash on that phone from the G1 Development Section.
You need to read over this thread and you'll learn a good bit about your myTouch.

wireless tether
I recently rooted my tmobile mytouc 3g and have attempted to download wireless tether for root users from the market place but it doesn't come up. It comes up on the market with my Acer a500 and I even attempted to send it via bluetoothto my phone but it still doesn't allow me to install. It mentioned something about my provider not allowing me to have it. My phone is using clockwork mod with cyanogen 5.0.8-dp. If anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks

You might try cyanogen 6.1 stable so you can have the 2.2 android that may be the reason its not showing in the market. There are other wifi tether apps as well

Thanks, I'll give it a try

5.0.8 cyanogen on my phone allows teathering. Right in the wifi and network settings.

They are talking about wifi tethering not usb tethering

Xtacy if that doesn't work pm me you email I will send you a wifi tether app that I know works with our phones
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA Premium App

The built in wifi/Bluetooth tether doesn't work. I think its because of my a500 tab and android 3.0. You think it would be easier because they are both android, oh well. I didn't attempt the update to 6.1 yet.

Well I have a apk that will run on cm6.1 for sure so let me know

Sprint Hotspot Hack

I came from the evo and I remember there being a hack that would let you use the sprint hotspot for free instead of wireless tether, is there a way or a fix in the making for this, cuz I prefer that app over the wireless tether app. Thanks!

You can't use 4g on the Sprint HotSpot App? Why do you prefer it? (I've never used it..)

Speaking of Wireless Tether... I notice the setting in there for security (wireless encryption) but I can only turn it on or off, not select the type (i.e. WPA2) Am I missing something or is it just automatic selection?

Its like that and you can't change it..I'm not sure if the updated experimental version has it or not..its on their website if ya wanna check it out

So, was anyone ever successful in modding the sprint hotspot app on a rooted stock rom?

It only allows you to use WPA/WPA2-PSK as the encryption method. Personally I think the wireless tether is a pretty good app, In addition to the encryption it gives you the option of using Access control, to deny or allow connections to the phone.

4g wifi tether not working

Hello I have a rooted shift with Supreme Sense. I love the wifi tether feature, and it is my only source of internet for my PC right now. My 3g tether works fine, and I'm getting consistent slow speeds with it. However, when I have 4g enabled and then turn on Sprint Hotspot, my 4g bars go away and are replaced with 3g. When I don't enable Sprint Hotspot, my phone gets 1 to 2 bars of 4g and works very well. However, as soon as I turn the hotspot on I get nothing. Did something go wrong when I rooted my phone? Is there any way for me to tether with 4g?
Thanks for your help

No you didn't do anything wrong, and nothing is wrong. The Hotspot Tether Hack/Mod only works in 3G. But you can try THIS to improve your 3G speeds.

I don't run sense roms at all but on all of the AOSP roms you can tether on both usb and wifi hotspot no problem. It's built into the roms so you don't need any hacks or anything. Some examples are Cyanogenmod, Kush Deck, and MIUI.

Yes you can on all of the above listed roms besides MIUI. Sorry forgot for a sec that doesn't have 4g lol. And none of the ICS roms have 4g yet either. Cyanogenmod is the best rom for 4g tethering i.m.o

The WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether is built into the Roms on Sense also. But by definition it is a mod / hack. Because it is something not normally allowed without paying for it.

Cool going to have to check that out. Koush actually put out a new Tether App that requires no Root. Still in the testing phases, but looks promising for those just looking to Tether.

I never said I needed to wifi tether. I don't even use 4G as I have wifi. My tethering works perfectly on cyanogenmod without the use of a market app.

Keep in mind wifi tether uses the wifi radio. You can tether over 4g wifi on aosp for sure. Not sure about sense. Will test.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

works fine for me on ss8 and ss9 using wireless tether (but i think you have to find the app from other sources, i think it was pulled from market)

Hey guy's, that open garden app is excellent. Now I am tethering with 4G. Thanks so much for that tip . Would you still recommend I do the change to make 3G faster? or could it mess up my phone?

You can still make the changes to speed up 3G upload / download speeds. It will not mess anything up. Just make sure to pay attention to what your doing. But if I remember correctly you said your running Supreme Sense. The changes for faster 3G are already made. Just double check to make sure, but I do believe the changes are already implemented. So you might just be in a bad area for 3G .

Hmmm... Market is telling me "This app is incompatible with your Sprint HTC PG06100." & "This item is not available on your carrier." Any other way to get the app (or other options for 4G wifi tether on a Sense based ROM)? I'm running a Synergy and would really like to keep it.
Update - N/m, downloaded APK from Open Garden's site> download and place on (I put on the root of) sd card > open Astro File Manage (free from Market) > find .apk file, select, install (make sure you allow third party apps to be installed) > Nice

Yeah with Tethering Apps and Sprint you'll run into that a lot. Most of them still work, but if you look on the Market it says imcompatiable. Reason is Sprint doesn't officially want you using them.
