Has anyone experienced issues with Wireless Tether on Community Rom 1.2. I am able to start the app and get an IP address out of DHCP but I am unable to get access to the internet. I have tried several different versions of Wireless Tether but do not seem to be able to get internet access.
Some people have reported issues with running the OTB 1.4 kernel. Some have found that going back to OTB 1.3 corrected the problem. Might look into that.

Short answer is BARNACLE turned my fascination into a squid.... tanked. Hope you had a good nandroid.

I have had some small issues with 1.3, and I tether (didn't really put the two together until seeing this thread), but they're solved with a reboot, and I tethered for hours at a time for weeks with minimal problems with both Root Users and Barnacle. Probably just going to Odin back in order to get the newest radio and clean things up then.
I have not tried BARNACLE I have been using the android-wifi-tether http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. This has worked great all up to running community ROM. I will double check my kernel and mess with that a bit.
The issue is related to the wpa supplicant configuration. I can enable the supplicant and connect however the wireless app does not tunnel my connection. The reason BARNACLE works is because this app does not support wpa at all.
This is a huge issue because WEP is not secure and can be cracked in just a few minutes.
I gave up on OTB kernels with the com rom. Flashed JT's 4/15 voodoo and the 3.0-14 wifi tether test with infrastructure mode works flawlessly again.

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.
I rooted my Fascinate, mostly to be able to WiFi tether it for my laptop and the Kindle I'm getting soon.
I've tried WiFi Android Tether app, Barnacle, and Barnacle Legacy.
The Barnacle App would give me an error along the lines of "Can't find eth0", then Barnacle Legacy(previous version) app did not give me an error but the laptop will just say "Connecting" then never actually connect.
I have the same problem with the WiFi Android Tether App where it keeps "Connecting" but never connects.
I don't think it is my laptop because I never have a problem connecting to any other WiFi...
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any help!!

Almost sounds like you're not fully rooted. Do you see the Superuser app in your app list? Also, did these apps ever prompt you to allow root access?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes
yes to superuser app.
the ADB prog says i am rooted
other root progs like SETCPU work
and the root progs ask for superuser permissions and i can set them
Look in General forum and for confirmed working widow tether. I use widow tether daily on mine. Works great. Have a nice day
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ive tried that exact one, computer wont connect.ive even tried pre12
I've tried quite a few different apps to no avail, but tried pre9 tonight and it appears to be working nicely.
I must be missing something, cause I'm a noob, but what is widow tether & where can I get it? Tried 2 barnacles & 3 wifi tethers with no success.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You need to use the wireless tether 2.0.5 pre9, not the latest version.
That one works 100%.
Newest ones don't. This is already covered somewhere in the stickies.

i am using Pre9. Thats the one I was originally using when the problem occured.
I'm using wireless tether pre11 right not and so far so good. I kept getting an issue where wireless tether would work for a short time (about 1 to 2 MB of data) and then would hang. pre11 is working good so far without this issue. give it s shot. you can always drop back to an older version.
I'm having the same problem, my Vista laptop sees the network and won't connect, my wife's Windows 7 netbook will connect now problem, so I know the phone is working right, it has to be something with Vista 64

I've had no problems with pre11...I've only used it a few times, but I did stream an entire episode on Hulu on my desktop and it worked without a hitch. I am on OSX.
FWIW, I happened to root & installl barnacle last night on my Fascinate. Barnacle worked happily once I made sure that A)Superuser automatically allows barnacle permissions and B) Skip wpa_supplicant was checked. I've only had an hour or two of testing, but no glitches.
Info: SCH-I500[RKAVZW] - i500.04, 2.1-update1, 2.6.29
Barnacle: Encryption: Off Access Control: unchecked, Ch:1 Custom Wifi Ad-hoc: none, Skip wpa_supplicant: checked, pp0, eth0, DHCP: 1200s lease, NAT 32000, 300, 100, 30, 90
I use Easy Tether and it works flawlessly.
Not sure exactly what is going on with your issue...however FWIW:
Any build of Wireless Tether would cut out on me occasionally - it wouldn't drop connection permanently, but rather for several seconds.
I use tethering to play online games that require a constant stream of data. Barnacle Wifi Tether Legacy works flawlessly. Never lose connection.
Are we looking at a fluke kernel issue with the OP's question?
I have tried all of these options and can't get any to work. The only thing that does is the stock hotspot app I reprogrammed from a thread here. How are you getting this to work? Do I need to remove the vzw hotspot app first?

Barnacle (did not try legacy) is also more stable for me than wireless tether pre9/11/12
I have a rooted Epic running 2.2.1. I installed a wifi tether program and ran it. Everyone can see it and logon except for my Acer 1810t netbook. I have tried everything I know but cant get it to connet to the wifi. Any input would be appreciated

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.
I just got my 32 GB all rooted and stuff, trying to connect to my TBolt using Wifi tether but it never pulls a IP address. The stupid verizon wifi hotspot works fine, but not the wifi tether. Any ideas?
It keeps hanging at "Obtaining IP Address"
It's because Android doesn't by default support connecting to ad-hoc wi-fi connections (I know, it's irritating). There is a way to add ad-hoc support (or at least on phones there was, it may have changed for Honeycomb), though it requires root. I'll go see if I can find instructions for it.
ive tried replacing the wpa supplicant, no dice

Ill second that suggestion. That'd how I had it running at first. Then I got the latest version of android wifi tether (3.0) and it works great. I don't remember if you need root. I've been rooted for months so I don't pay attention to appear anymore

Im able to connect to my friends phone and he has the same wifi tether verdion, idk if its the ROM on my phone or my phone all together

Mine works fine. I changed the wpa supplicant file on my 10.1 and I broadcast in ad-hoc mode on my Thunderbolt.
Make sure once you change the wpa file that you set the permissions correctly too.
i had the same problem i had to go into settings in wifi tether and check routing fix. After that it works great.
actually my main problem I had today was that I still had a previous version installed of wireless tether alongside the 3.0 version. Check that and uninstall the old. It cleared it up
Hello, I have been a member of XDA for quite some time but always used it as a resource. I usually always found an answer to my issues and did not need to post...............until I got the fascinate. So I tried the various Tether methods and the only one that has seemed to work for me is the "Easy Tether" method. I am listing all methods and the results I had to keep others from having these issues:
ROM: CM7
Method 1: Barnacle
Mode: Adhoc (Using Samsung Facinate profile)
Result: no connection, being assigned private IP in the 169.254 subnet
Method 2: Built in wireless tether in CM7
mode: Infrastructure
Result: Getting connected but no Internet connection
Method 3: Easy Tether
mode: USB
Result: Success. Followed on screen instructions and worked flawlessly.
Method 4: Wi-Fi tether (from android market)
mode: infrastructure
Result: Getting connected but no Internet connection
Please provide your experiences and we can keep a proper log organized by ROM versions being used.

running JT's latest CM7 (no nightlies) I got barnacle to tether just fine.. EB01 radio, glitch kernel
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk
avoid the Market - This tethers infrastructure mode to Nook color, laptop, etc.
Need to change device profile and setup method in Settings to match the Fascinate. works great on Comrom 2.1 and DInc Pure Speed.

Just set this up on the wife's fassy running rooted stock. Works great to tether her Transformer. I'm not having as good of luck with it on CM7, but haven't mucked about in the newest version much yet.

Vanilla Gingerbread has it built in the rom no app needed . Both tethering and wifi hotspot.
good day.
have no problems running either Barnacle or Wireless Tether apps. Have used both apps on both 2.1 and 2.2, but running stock rom.
what chipset are you running on your computer that you are tethering with? I was unable to get a connection with anything other than wifi tether pre14.
I have the N6200 wifi chipset and can't get any adhoc connection to work.

N6200... Intel, according to a quick Google search. Try updating your wireless adapter's drivers, at least some of them had massive issues with adhoc mode. I ran into that issue when I first tried to tether, and even now I only have unreliable adhoc (Intel apparently didn't bother to test adhoc mode at all!).
Verizon is working hard to keep the fascinate (and other phones) from tethering using apps, instead making you tether through their built in, allowing them to charge you for it. In my experience however, once you've rooted your phone and flashed a new rom, barnacle usually works well. I've had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times, but other than that, it's cake.
