My gt 540 not sharing wi-fi connection! What App works?
MY ANDROIDSKY
I had issues getting apps to tether over wifi myself. It wasn't until I flashed Cyanogen 7 and started using the one built in to the mod, that I finally found one that worked. I hear a lot of people have success with barnacle wifi tether too.

I don't quite understand, are you saying you have tried barnacle and it doesn't work? Also have you tried to use the included wifi tether in cm7?

mhm isnt there any app that works?
Barnacle ftw
Tethering don't work because kernel .29 not support this function. In new version SwiftDroid (and new kernel) Mur4ik add tether... so wait for new version
Read my mind 4 question! Cheers :-d

Anyone using barnacle wifi on mytouch and able to actually tether? I know about wifi tether built into the phone or the wireless tether app. Those work fine, I want to use barnacle because of its open NAT. So no critics please. I just need someone that got it to work because my device can see it, but barnacle won't show me its connected or that its a client

I have it installed and configured, but can't get anything to connect to it. The SSID broadcasts, but it shows up as an available "device" vs. a wifi network. I try to connect by with and without WEP (Barnacle says it failed to parse WEP if security enabled), and it appears to connect, but Barnacle shows no client connections and no access from the other device.
Just using the android wifi tether app instead...

Hope it's not a (too) stupid question - with a rooted device, can I use the Wi-Fi Tether bundled app w/o the tethering option in my plan (read: for free)?
Thanks
Hi there
I use Wifi tether for root users, looks and works better than Barnacle
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Which version have are you using?
None of them specify MT4G.
I have a rooted Mytouch 4g running 2.2 and was able to get "Android-wifi-tether" working using the version for the Samsung Fascinate 2.x. Its the last option at the link h4xdaplanet provided.
I cant provide a direct link since I have a new account, sorry.
Thanks
I actually got this one to work a while ago but forgot to update

I am using to built in hot spot with no issues at all, before and after root. Not a stupid question. As long as you have the data plan, afaik, there is no current extra cost for using wired or wireless tethering. Hope this helps.
The app wireless tether does not work for me anymore. It says wireless tether has started with errors. I check the log and many things failed such as setting channel, setting essid, setting ad-hoc mode, and activating wifi interface. How can I get this to work? Running CM7 with the HDMI kernel.
Same here. I tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. I'm using UD and Myn's.
doesn't work on cm7 with savage zen either
no errors but nothing will see it when scanning
The only thing I have got to work is Barnacle..and also the built in hot spot works well too.
I've been having the same issue. Barnacle works but that only does an adhoc network, so my PS3 and Kindle won't connect to it
Works fine on my stock 2.2 Evo. Just used it today.

I had the same problem, but I was able to get it working with version 2.08-pre1 ***Experimental***. The latest version did not work for me on CM7 nightly, and the native one didn't work either, but the version above works like a charm!
Native one works perfect for me on CM7 build 22.
Works great on ava z3 rom for 3g as for 4g I have to use the green tether or i get the you have not subscribed to this service call sprint like yea I'm gonna pay to use 4g and kill my battery

go into rom manager and choose fix permissions.. bingo!
if that doesnt work check wifi settings and make sure that you dont already have a preinstalled tethering app ( some newer roms like destroyer have this built in )
Try a different kernel

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.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?
I got the native tether to work thanx guys

^^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.
Okay, im super tired of having to reinstall the rom,apps,lwp, everything...
so every time i try to use the wireless tether app my phone reboots and does not pass the boot logo "acs" circle thing. please help.
I'm running 1.2Ghz syndicate rom 1.1.0 and honeycomb theme.
Same here. Wireless tether corrupted my data after reboot and i had to reinstall. It's probably a known bug...
are u using wifi tether 3.0.0 pres?
if so u cant start wifi tether with 4g on, u have to start in 3g then turn 4g on.
This build is also experimental and can be very touchy if u dont want to deal with it get the stable 2.0.7 build in the market or on the the code google wireless tether site.

I just wanna say thank you for the help bro.
Here my known corrupts I'm on srf 1.1.0 first don't start tether with 4g active.. fail.. second don't let phone die with tether active.. fail.. and the third time I'm unsure cause I've avoided it but it ruined everything when I answered a call while plugged in charging during tethering, when the call ended crashed and rebooted corrupt data. Other that that the 3.0 pre 11 that came on srf has been good

I was having trouble with my, WiFi Tether 3.0-pre11 app as well. It will allow my Window 7 laptop to connect without any issues but my iPad (1st gen) would not connect for some reason.
I searched the forums and found some people were having trouble with the WiFi Tether app and they suggested to try Barnicle WiFi Tether. It is a free app in the Android market place but it requires root access on your phone (Duh).
After installing and running Barnicle WiFi Tether I had no problems connecting my iPad. It may help in your situation as well.

Guys as started this is an experimental app. I use WIRELESS tether from app market, it is free and I can game online, talk on the phone and text all at the same time never having any issues. Check it out

Same here using wireless tether . It comes pre installed with the acs syndicate rom. Never had an issue always workd fine and I'm able too text and sure the web while its runing. Id suggest wiping evrything install acs . The no worries
Also have u tried geting rid of the theme? I'm thinking that could very well be your problem.
Hey all, just updated to cm7 (jt, you are my hero). I was wondering what I need to download for tethering. I tried using the old wifi_tether app I had from froyo and what not but it does not seem to be working. Any ideas?

Barnacle works if all you need is ad hoc (tethering a windows machine), but I haven't found anything that will do access point.
You don't need to download anything... it's built in. Go to: Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Tethering and portable hotspot

Yes, it's there, but doesn't work on my phone. Have you successfully tethered with it?
I use barnacle as well and it works great on my laptop running windows 7 and I have never had any issues with wireless devices and ad-hoc I let friends from work pull from my wifi all the time, maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones

I can verify that my computer at least recognizes the portable hotspot but I did not try to connect to it. Will try tomorrow and will report back.

The issue arises if you're trying to tether an android tablet. They won't use ad hoc out of the box.

Android WIFI Tether should works great for me. I am able to do the wpasuplicant authentication again as well. This app is no longer in the android market so you will have to download direct from the source. There is an updated beta version which does work in CM7 7/17 release.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk&can=2&q=
No offense, but I feel Barnacle is crap. It is one of the only WIFI tether apps that is unable to do WPA authentication. WEP can be cracked in under 5 minutes with open source tools which leaves you vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. The CM7 hotspot even does WPA.
