Tried the most recent version of wifi tether for evo...
No go. Seems to create a network, but my computer fails to connect even after letting it sit for a while. It does ask for an receive root permission and doesn't seem to throw any errors.
look at logcat see if you can find the errors
From twitter:
wesgarner: @localmuaythai yup will have wifi tether working *crosses fingers*
SWEEEEET.
- faylix / local
i posted up a thread in the app section seeing if anyone has any root apps working and whats wrong with their current root apps..
Uhhh.... I can connect all 3 of my computers to wifi tether 2.0.2 or something like that. First thing I did when I rooted.

Are you sure they are surfing?? are your on slidemetoot2 or on the tmo rom
just a tip I still havent rooted but I did miss my tether so I looked into EasyTether and it lets you tether without root. The lite version lets you surf any site except https so basically you can surf anything except secure sites you have to log into. If you like to the lite version though you can always buy the full version. This is what I am using until I root.

Sorry, I jumped the gun a bit. My computer would connect to the device, but that was all. I couldn't do any kind of data transfer.

This is true but you can log into sites that have a login as long as they are not HTTPS.
But i downloaded it and installed it in less then 15 minutes and it works great!
**** root.
Multi touch, tether, flash, and sick widgets? Why does one need root?
2.2 Will bring Aps2sd and all will be fine.

Honestly, the only real reason I want root at all is hopes of a Sense rom that mirrors HTC sense. HTC took a plain, boring GUI and turned it into something beautiful, something elegant. Not that Espresso isn't nice looking, but compared to Sense it's nothing.
Also, I want to remove all of the **** that HTC and Tmo insisted we needed, such as Peep, Stocks, Amazon MP3 (google, but still), and all the MyFaves junk.

Yeah its great. The one reason I really cared for root was for tether and now with EasyTether it doesnt seem worth the hassle. At least not with this phone, if I still had my G1 I would think different. You say 2.2 will bring apps2sd, is that a definite? Have we heard when we will see 2.2 on the Slide?
But Easytether is only via usb right?
question: do you have to pay for sprint's mobile hotspot to use mobileap? I flashed the dk17 viper rom to my epic last night and it keeps saying something under the lines of my sprint pcs username and pw couldn't be authorized...

MobileAP is notorious for having issues unless it is perfectly integrated into the ROM. Try using Wireless Tether, it is available for free just do a search for it on here. IMO it works much better than Sprint Hotspot, and there is no need to pay for it. If you still have problems (I can never get neither MobileAP nor Wireless Tether working properly on my phone), try using a wired tether app such as PdaNet or Wired Tether. These require the usb cable to be plugged in, but there are far fewer compatiblity issues. Hope this helps!

Nope, it is a free solution to tether your existing 3G or 4G data connection wirelessly. You just need to have it baked into whichever ROM you are using, as it is not a standalone .apk.

I'm not sure about speed, wired tether would surely be the fastest as there is no loss of speed from wireless data transfer. PdaNet is very slow IMO, I don't use it anymore due to this. MobileAP shouldn't be too much faster than WifiTether, as they are both using essentially the same protocol to do the same thing, just different ways of going about it. Keep following the ViperROM thread, I'm sure BT will get a fully functional MobileAP mod working shortly
yeah the sprint hotspot is a sprint app (obviously, lol) that you will have to pay for to use. the MobileAP in the vipeROM is in Settings > Wireless > Mobile AP. Its not going to be any faster than wireless tether, the benefit is that the above are both infrastructure mode while wireless tether is ad hoc. some devices cannot connect to ad hoc connections.
i tested the vipeROM mobile AP and my lappy could connect successfully and cant connect to ad hoc. it looks like he swiped it from the captivate since there was att related text in it, lol. but it works, data worked, i jsut got messages every few seconds about not being able to register me or something like that, but it continued to work, lol. hope this helps
I have Froyo on my Epic 4G with Epic Experience 2.0.0.5 instaled and I want to use Wired Tether, as for some reason on Wireless tether, if i have my phone plugged into my computer and wireless tether on... the battery drains faster than it charges and my phone dies... idk what causes this, anyway back on topic. Is there anyway i can use wired tether on froyo at this point? I get kernal issues when i try to use it. Also, im on the DK28 version of froyo.
you can use easytether or PdaNet

This should not be the case..is your phone hot when wireless tethering? if so it may not be charging due to the heat and I suggest placing it on a metal platform..

They're trials. Well, pdanet is a 10day trial or something and easytether blocks https websites
Or it might be the other way around lol
But I made a thread like this and basically, simple wired tether isn't available on froyo yet, but it works in 2.1 with some kernals

I bought easytether used it on 2.1 and reinstalled on 2.2 aka dk28 and still works with no issue.
I think it was $10, which is nothing since you have a pretty much a $400 phone 8)
To get access to htts sites you do need the paid version.
Sigh
I've done many searches on here for help
dk28 no matter what rom drops randomly my easy tether (paid) connection. It did not do this with DI18. I'm happy with the nebula ROM except for this. I know it's a dk28 issue of some sort, because I've seen others complain of this in another thread I cannot now find.
I hope someone can help me fix this without a reload, it is my ONLY issue, but it's a huge issue since my phone is my main internet source.
Thanks!
I ended up with the same issue on easytether, so eventually I gave up and had to use wireless tether
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
check your wireless and networks, on my device with dk28 it says tethering, just turn that on and it works, thats how im using it right now... see if that works for you
Thanks for the reply, but that causes the usual error67 that the hotspot gves you as well. Guess I have to go back to eclair.

yea or try turning on wireless tether and leave access control on so it does not kick you off, i had that issue when i went from tethering to wifi last night, or maybe it was turn off access control, it was a lil late sorry lol
I use PDANet because it works while your computer has an active wifi up. EasyTether does not work with an active wifi. I have licenses for both.

USB tether easytether pdanet Wireless which is faster?
When I first used PDANET I was getting 5mb down! I get 1mb with easytether...I switched due to driver issues with PDANET. I dont know for sure but maybe there is a limitation on the legacy usb driver easytether uses? Maybe sprint can see and has capped my data? I am using a rooted stock Samsung eb13 2.2 Hmmm...Dunno for sure but think the rom I had it on when it was 5mb was epic experience 1.5 which totally freaked out on me after I installed AVG antivirus and I kept getting popups speed is nice but at a price? Can anyone explain why initially it was 5mb now its not?

Iv searched and searched but can't find anything specifically answering my question in layman terms.....ok here goes, before I had my phone rooted I paid 30 for one month for the sprint hotspot on my epic and used it on my ps3 to play call of duty and it worked perfect. Then a co worker told me about the rooting and free tethering so I had it done and the phone works fine, its a little faster and all that jazz but the tether feature only works on certain devices (ipod touch and 1 of my laptops) but will not work on my ps3 at all. My question is why and how can I fix it.....
I can't say I've tried this, but here's a thread with some knowledgeable input that might help you along:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834373
Ok I'm lost. It has 2 downloads for epic and neither zip from doing the 3finger start up and zip from sd
It is because it is an adhoc signal. Some devices won't connect or even see an adhoc signal I believe the ps3 is a device that won't cnnect to an adhoc signal. You might have to contact sony on the specs though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i understand the logic behind that but why does sprints stock "hotspot" work fine on ps3 but all "aftermarket" tethers do not
I've never used the sprint hotspot, but it probably transmits in infrastructure mode (like a wireless router), and not ad hoc mode (like wirelssly conncting two computers together without a router). The truth is, no ones been able to get infrastructure mode working on di18 (which is android 2.1, and you are probably running it if you didn't go to dk28, which is android 2.2).
Now, you could try going to dk28, but it can be buggy, and I don't think the wireless tether in infrastucture mode works perfectly either. So in otherwords, it might get complicated for you.
I have an xbox360, which also doesn't connect to ad hoc networks. So instead, I use a wired tether program, pdaNet (the free version). My setup is epic wired tethered to my laptop, then an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to my xbox. If you have a laptop that you can use for this setup, I highly recommend it. There's also probably less lag than with wireless tether since wireless has more latency than a usb cable.

If your Epic is running Eclair 2.1 and you're already rooted, then you're in business.
You need to flash the modified hotspot app that was ripped from the Vibrant (and modified for each of the Galaxy S series), and you're golden. After doing this, use the Sprint Hotspot app like usual with no need to pay the $30 fee, plus it's working in infrastructure mode (everything wifi friendly), not ad-hoc (some wifi friendly).

Had a similar issue trying to tether to my nook, luckily there are some pretty smart people over in that forum too and they figured out a way to swap over the nook to see ad hoc networks, makes me wonder if you trolled some ps3 forums and saw if some other people have found a solution to their systems not being ad hoc friendly, because if you ever decide to go to 2.2 that hacked hot spot option wont work

If your going to go back to stock anyway (2.1, not 2.2), just root/cwm and flash the existing MobileAP for 2.1, as that will work without having to pay the extra $30/month. The trouble you were having is that the way the hotspot feature works got changed in 2.2, so the zip for 2.1 that you flashed wont work correctly.
If indeed you are going back to 2.1, this will only work on an odexed rom, in other words, a stock rom (custom kernel is fine) or possibly a custom rom after running the odexer tool in the dev section before you install/use MobileAP.

I thought that one of the benefits of Froyo was that we'd have Wifi tethering, but it doesn't seem to be an option.
My question is; How do I enable Wifi tethering? Do I need to root and install Barnacle, or is there another non-rooting way?
If I need to root, is there a new one click root that I should use?

I think the guy thought you were trying to produce the WiFi signal from your tab, not have your phone produce the signal and have your tab receive it.
I suspect it's because the tether app you have only works in adhoc mode, and not infrastructure mode.There's a thread in the Themes and Apps forum where someone got infrastructure mode working, install that version.
