I used Fixsters method to make my non-rooted Atrix into a hotspot. I am wondering if AT&T can see that you have done this since you are using their connection and address in the APN. Any thoughts? If you did a tether via rooted phone is it safer? I have used PDAnet USB to my PC and than shared with my router to create a hotspot, but using the phone itself as a hotspot is so much easier. Thanks
Just wondering if anyone has been able to tether using Barnacle since OTA? Prior to OTA was using Barnacle with no problems for internet connection on PC and G-tab. Now PC recognizes the wireless, connects, but not internet. G-tab recognizes the wireless but sits in "obtaining ip address".
Update: got this working on G-tab so must be in my pc settings and not the phone...
Hello i have a HD2 with Android 2.3.4 CM7 Hyperdroid.
Im having problems connecting wireless tether app, i notice that the Built-In Portable hotspot app opens when i turn on wireless tether app. When i try to connect with my computer it just says limited service. and when turn of wireless tether for root users and just use the built in service i encounter the same problems. I tried Barnacle wireless too. cant get wifi tethering to work
please help
My phone is rooted, Atrix 4G, and I have tried using barnacle tether and wifi tether and I cannot connect to my TF.
How do I do this?
I understand it uses an AD-Hoc connection the tablet can use so maybe bluetooth or a hack?

The TF will need to be rooted for this method.
I have no problem with wifi tether, its a true infrastructure network. Barnacle uses an ad-hoc network and the TF will not connect to that without the work above.
What kind of problem did you have with wifi tether?
I can easily connect to my rooted Nexus One running CM7. I just run the built in tethering and connect.
What ROM are you running? Try the built in tethering if you have it. I didn't have any luck running the market tethering apps.
I have a rooted Droid and am able to wireless tether via Bluetooth with no problem. I also understand that I can't wireless tether via wifi because the TF won't except ad hoc wifi, which is what Droid creates.
What I would like to know is if I can wire tether. I bought a 2.0 USB to micro USB with a 2.0 female to female adapter and using a wired tether app on my Droid. The TF doesn't see anything, doesn't even recognize it's connected to a USB.
Any thoughts?
I just set my HTC Desire to be a wireless hotspot and my TF connects to that just fine !?

I believe this is because your phone creates an infrastructure wifi whereas the Droid is only capable of creating an ad hoc Wifi. That's why I would like to know if wired tether is possible since it would be much faster than the Bluetooth tether.
Wifi Tether 3.0-pre 14 **Experimental**

This was my only solution. I'm using my rooted Cyanogen Nexus S 4g with my unrooted TF
Wondering if BT Tether will work?
I have an original Droid as well, rooted, using wifi tether. It creates an ad-hoc wifi connection. To enable the TF to connect to ad-hoc you have to follow the instructions in the thread I linked to above, this will allow the TF to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection. The TF will need to be rooted to accomplish this.
If your TF is not rooted, you will have to install Wifi Tether 3.0 pre-14 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) on your rooted phone and enable Bluetooth tether. Then go into your Bluetooth settings on the TF and Pair to your phone.
Anyone know a working tether app? I used to use wifi tether router before moving to this phone but i tried it and it seems to enable ok but the SSID never shows up on the PC. Currently stuck using the built in android tethering and while it works i worry that i will be throttled because tmobile only gives 2gb of tethering before its throttled.
