I use Internet tethering on a daily basis. I've canceled my DSL because all I use is my phone now.
I've been trying to figure out a way to enable Internet tethering without having to do:
Menu -> settings -> wireless controls -> Internet tethering. A one click on and off button is what I need. I've looked everywhere for it. I can't be the only android user who needs or needed something like this. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to create something myself just for this purpose.
Just in case it matters my phone is rooted with the latest super d rom.

Easy solution...Just keep the 'internet tethering' box checked. The only time you'll have to uncheck it is when you mount your phone to your computer to transfer files.
yea i guess thats the only way thanks.

Hi!
First, I'm a total newbie regarding the Wildfire and Android. But since there are more people like me and there is no straight-forward answer in this forum, I thought I could ask the question.
How can I make my Wildfire emit a WiFi signal so that I can access the internet on my MacBook and my iPod Touch?
I have already rooted my Wildfire, following the steps explained in this link: h t t p :/ / rootmydroid. co. uk/guides/general/howto-root-your-htc-desire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/ using unrEVOked.
I guess my Wildfire is now rooted, because I have the Superuser app.
Then I started to download some apps with which tethering supposedly should be possible, but they're not working:
-Android WiFi Tether: ht tp://code .google .com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Aria
I can emit a WiFi signal, which is picked up by my iPod and my MacBook (running in OSX as well as in Windows XP). But when I try to access the internet it cannot get a network address (MacBook) and on the iPod you see that there is a connection, but internet does not work.
-Barnacle Wifi Tether (see the market)
When I try to establish a WiFi signal, I get the following errors:
Failed to set AP_SCAN
[1] Terminated ./dhcp
[2] Terminated ./nat
Stopped unexpectedly
I got USB tethering working using EasyTether. Install this on your computer ht tp://www .mobile-stream. com/easytether/drivers .html (Windows only) and download the app on your phone from the market ht tp ://www .mobile-stream. com/easytether/android. html.
But since I would like to have WiFi access to the internet and it's just for Windows, this is not an option.
I've heard about PDANet, but I cannot find it in the Market..
So... can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Why do Barnacle and WiFi Tether not work? And what can I do to make it work?
Thanks in advance!
PS The links don't work, remove the spaces. I'm a newbie so link posting is prohibited.
Am I the only one with this problem?
get pdanet from appbrain, just install it and also install fast web installer on phone, and go on the appbrain website and it will dl straight to your phone when your mobile net is on. you have to be signed into your gmail account.

Thanks for the input.
PDA Net is not what I want, because I want to get internet on my iPod Touch..
And, @Bluedragon, I'm a noob So what do you mean with Wildpuzzle and where do I get it?
But what I don't understand is, WHY does that Android tethering app not work? I just seems like my MacBook does not get a valid IP address to access the internet. The WiFi network itself is visible..
There must be a solution without installing another rom.
I found after a couple of hours of trying a few months ago the the following version of wifi tether works with the wildfire. 2.0.5-pre8. You also need to also need to put the file fw_bcm4329.bin into a folder you need to create called android.tether . I would not try to change the ssid name or passphrase either as both seem to corrupt the program. Hope this helps I use it to connect my IPad to my wildfire and it works great. All the files you need you can find via google.
Thank you very much! That works!
The app seems to use a lot of power, though. But that's probably normal?
I tuned down the transmitting power. See if that works.
And I can't even change the SSID. Every character I try seems to be "corrupt".
I have a stock HTC WIldfire ROM 2.1 rooted. Installed Wifi Tether pre9 release using a custom SSID and WEP key no problem.
I've used easy tether from the market place. Works great.
Easy tether won't work with an iPod though.
Seems there is not much information on wifi tethering on the wildfire.
Installing a custom rom looks to be difficult but maybe that's just me
It's not - just copy the file, root , boot into recovery , DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! and install the rom. If you hate the rom you can restore from the backup
Just to let you know that you can use this instead of changing apn settings, i tried that and seemed to freeze, used barnacle the first time this morning and its been working flawlessly all day.
Agreed... Barnacle works perfectly.
The APN route is cleaner, but unreliable.
I also agree, I am waiting to get on my home wireless before the market will allow me to download Barnacle thanks to AT&T market filtering, but I have been running a google tethering app for the time being and it is much easier and faster to use, just not as "clean" I guess.
My Phones:
Motorola MicroTAC Elite
Nokia 7160
Nokia 6340i
Nokia 6230
Nokia 6682
HTC Tilt
HTC Fuse
HTC Tilt2 (custom ROM)
Samsung Captivate (custom ROM,rooted)
Motorola Atrix (rooted)
I'm using "wireless tether for root". How is barnacle compared to that? wpa is the only difference i noticed in their features.

is barnacle on the market?
I don't see it listed on Android market anywhere.
You won't - ATT blocks it. Google search, they have a website to download the .apk. Have to be rooted of course to sideload it.
To get blocked Apps on in market, just turn your phone on without the sim. Download and install all you want without sim.

You do in fact need root access for this program and also if you use MarketAccess you can trick the market into thinking you are on T-Mobile and get Barnacle.
strange..
I rooted and tried it from app brain, but I keep getting the requested item could not be found. Is there another way i need to install it?
thanks
Of course it works, we have been talking about it since the 19th....

Search is your friend!
To get it to work you need root. Also you will need market enabler..which just tricks the market into thinking your phone runs on another service provider..as att blocks alot of apps

That actually works pretty well - though the program used is called MarketEnabler, not MarketAccess
will att switch your data plan to a tethering plan if you use barnacle?

Ahhh, no..... while I can't say I know this for an absolute fact, DG said he's been APN tethering the crap out of his Atrix for the past week and AT&T hasn't "caught on," or nothing. With Barnacle, I'd say it would be even harder to "catch" someone wirelessly tethering - they never caught me or anyone else I know when I was using my Captivate!

I've used barnacle for the last 5 months and no change in my plan.
I have my Atrix rooted and have installed Barnacle but I get "Permission Denied" from Barnacle and then "Stopped Unexpectedly". Then the ATT hot spot validation comes up in the task bar and says account not setup. Any idea what I may have missed here?

Updated 10/15
This version allows users to successfully change the SSID and add a passphrase. Compliments to "Italianguy"
http://socal.hanhuy.com/~pfnguyen/wifi-tether-gnex-4.2.2.apk
Download WiFi Tether for Root Users.
Go into Settings and make the following changes.
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
That's it. Go back and push to start tethering.
Note: this is only valuable to users with unlimited DATA if you have a certain amount of DATA then watch your usage and you should also be able to use native (Verizon) tethering.
Cheers!

Keep Alive connection.
That's it. Go back and push to start tethering. It will show up but I can't figure out how to change the SSID (Name) of WiFi Network and set up a Passphrase (password) in settings. For now it shows up as wlan0 and you can connect to it. If anyone can figure out how to make a password please post it.

Some carriers block and also depends on what plan you have... Verizon share plan has anything over 4 gig share you get free hotspot.
Any Idea why downloads are slow but uploads are blazing fast? Full signal. Speedtest on the phone is smoking but on the tablet is .55 mbs dl.

That's strange. My Speeds are accurate. Maybe try restarting the tether.

I don't think that was what he was replying to. It obviously allows you to specifically grant access to the devices that should be getting it and not allow access to anyone that can see the SSID. Towards the bottom of the first post, it was asked if anyone knew how to create a password, to please post it. I'm pretty sure that is all he was responding to.
Prior to the Moto X, I had a Gnex, so I haven't used this app in quite some time, but when I did use it, the encryption was WEP and did funny things. Access control is just fine for me, and I'm not sure why anyone would care THAT much about SSID.
Its the SSID and the password that can't be changed. I could see why someone would want to have a password on their network. Mac address control is not very secure at all.

I followed the instructions but when I try to connect my ipad to my phone it tells me "unable to join the network". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Played around with settings and this is what I did:
Device profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Set up Method: Auto
Wifi driver reload AND wifi driver reload 2: checked
Enable access control: check
Keep alive connection: check
Make sure MSS clamping and Routing fix are both checked. Now it runs buttery smooth and speeds are great!
This is one of the only reasons I root, I don't do roms just strictly tethering. Hope this helps someone that was in my situation as well.

It's secure enough for this purpose. Yes, they can be spoofed, and yes MAC's can be sniffed out from simple packet watching, however, an attacker would need knowledge of this to even try it, as well as the hotspot would need to be up long enough to care.
I would definitely *prefer* the ability to change SSID and password, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

its an app that comes commonly loaded if you're running custom ROMs, if you arent rooted / running a custom ROM, then this probably isnt the case for you.

nah that's not worth it.
Maybe try clearing app data? this appears to be more of an app issue than a note 3 specific issue. You might try to google that error for the show box app in general and see what people are saying fixed it. Some people said they fixed this by connecting / disconnect to wifi etc.
If all else fails try VideoMix. its a similar app. although the interface isn't as good
Are you trying thorugh wifi - some ISPs are blocking showbox. I know because Talktalk definately block it, try it either on data (make sure you have a decent data plan or that will cost you a bomb!) or another ISP.
It worked
