[Q] Issue with tethering after update to 2.2

Updated my stock 2.1 DX today with new 2.2, rooted, loaded titanium backup, cleaned up some bloat and loaded wireless tether. All is good, the phone works great! Went to use wifi tether and hooks up great to laptop with full signal, but here the kicker, tether doesnt connect to 3g, so no internet. Any idea's?

Are you using the 3G mobile hotspot or a Tethering App from the market or something

I'm running Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre9.

I'm having the same problem. running the same version of wireless tether. I didn't remove any bloatware or anything, I just have the apps hidden using launcher pro, so basically stock. Worked fine before update.

I didn't know they had a DX working version, it doesn't show in their website. Is it ad-hoc or real wifi hotspot?

2.2 messes withe the settings. Try Barnacle. There is a extra setting it has for 2.2.

do you have access control enabled?

Yep I changed the access setting and no go. Then I removed it and loaded barnacle and had the same issue.

Barnacle worked for me on 2.1 but not on 2.2. What is this "setting for 2.2" that makes barnacle work?
Wireless Tether for Root (by Muller) works for me on 2.2. But the connection is very much hit and miss. I end up using Easy Tether (usb) 90% of the time. I wish I could find a way to keep the connection more stable. Bc wireless is just easier.
I seem to remember having to do something with my connection settings on my computer a long time ago to enable ad-hoc connections when I first started tethering on WinMo with the HTC tether. Sorry I can't remember now.

Having the same issue here with Barnacle after 2.2 update. =(

I just rooted my DX 2.2 and I'm using Wireless tether version 2.0.2 I downloaded this morning from the market and I'm using my iPad and laptop off of it right now. But barnacle isn't working for me tho.

I notice a lot of people are having issues. I'm not (on leaked 2.3.15) but I am on an older version... 2.0.2

I should be more clear, I'm on the ota release of 2.2 with the 2.0.2 version of wireless tether.

DL OTA, rooted with Droid 2, installed Koush Clockwork and Recovery, then installed Free Wifi Tether. Ran Speedtest at 1.1 M download. I'd say NPs here. Just my 2 cents

Used Barnacle with 2.1... up'd to the leaked 2.2 and Barnacle stopped working. Wireless Tether (from the market) works fine, but not if I'm using Access Controls (which seems to be the general state of that app right now).

I know I'm awfully late to the game, but if I root and tether like you guys are, Verizon can't tell? I won't get the extra charge for tether service? Sorry for the noob question.

Go to the wifi tether google code page and download the latest beta. Your netbook wont see ad-hoc, so you need wifi tether 3.0

I have a 1410 and it connects to Wifi Tether 3.0 release 10 without issues on stock EB13 rooted.

Thanks for the input. I have tried 3 different tethering programs, barnacle, wifi, etc and none of them work. I guess i will jsut have to be happy with PD Net for the time being. There is just something about this laptop. It sees the adhoc netowrk it just won't connect to it.

I have the 1810tz and it works great with Wifi tether 3.0.

when you tried Android-wifi-tether you probably tried the stable version..not the beta...download the beta here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11.apk&can=2&q=
it should work...

I used Odin to put the phone back to stock. then I flashed the ROM to 2.2.1. Then I used one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip to root the device. I then downloaded the file from the link above and installed WiFi Tether and it starts up. then I have both the WiFi Tether icon and an additional Hot Spot icon then the phone just freezes. Does it have to be ext4? I am a noob but learning.
Update: Went back ind rooted with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and converted to ext4 and changed the config to Samsung and it seems to be working.

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.

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.

[Q] Barnacle?

I'm wondering if anyone has had luck boosting their speed on Barnacle. I'm trying not to get used to the built in 3g wifi sharing built into my thunderbolt because Verizon has said it will eventually start charging.
I ran a speed test from my laptop connected with barnacle. I get approx 1.5Mbps down. I ran the same test connected to the built in one and I get 16.8Mbps.
Has anyone been able to get better speeds out of Barnacle on their android?
Info:
Running Bamf Remix 2.0.5 (Gingerbread)
Barnacle 0.6.7

I used barnacle and it worked OK. But it would not connect my laptop consistently. Then I tried Open garden wifi tether which was a little better. Finally I just downloaded wireless tether and it works incredibly. I was able to get up to 50mbs according to the app. Albeit it did take a few minutes to fully throttle up to that speed. I would suggest wireless tether ftw!

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.

Have an epic and I'm running 3.0 pre11 and I can use encryption. Its under deprecated downloads in the google code page. See above link.
Don't forget to hit "Thanks" if I helped!

i am actually tethering thru my epic to post this. The wifi tether is screwy for our phones. I use SFR1.2 and geno1.1final. 3g works, 4g causes a instant reboot on the phone, but it works in infrastructer mode without issue.

Can you post those APK's or the instruction please, I have an Epic as well.

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!
