So, I've looked, yet have been unable to answer this. Please help asap...
I just purchased a user MT3g Slide (red), and it is currently NOT rooted and on 2.1-Update1. I have had many Android phones, all rooted, including a MT3G non-slide, but on this one I don't care about root. I have an Asus Transformer, and all I need from this phone is wifi tether for the tablet.
So, can I wifi tether without root, and if so, how?
If not, how should I go about rooting AND getting tether? Rooting on this phone looks like a pain in the a**, so I'd like to avoid it... :hs:
Thanks
if you don't want to root and have wifi tether, get the official froyo update from htc, that will get you the wifi tether.

Just did it, thanks! Any good widgets you might know of to switch it on/off without going through the settings menu?
you might want to try widgetsoid 2.x, it allows you to tag a whole bunch of widgets on one bar, and also put a shortcut of an app to the widget. the wifi tethering widget won't work (not sure why, but tried it before), so you can link a shortcut of the wifi tethering app and gain access to that.
or just put a shortcut of the app on your screen =P

Awesome, thanks
I'm confused. You just switched to an AOSP rom yet you refuse to root?
Do you realize that that would void any warranty you possibly had?
Also, root and run the thing at 800mhz. My phone is smoother then most stock 1ghz phones.

It's not working because you have to root the phone. You can use the Visionary app in the Market (thanks MoDaCo) to do a temp root, and then run tethering app. I haven't found the temp root to be damaging, but you're doing this at your own risk.
Official tmo WiFi tether is free till the 14th when they add the option for thether... 14. 99

I am rooted... or it would have said it can't gain super user rights.
Anyone else had any luck with this? I can get it to run, start the network, see the SSID, etc. But I never get an IP address on my client device. Worked fine on my G2, but doesn't work on the myTouch 4G.
Nevermind, I downloaded the newest version and it works perfectly:

This thread is talking about apples and oranges.
I'd like to see the "official" froyo tether work. The Google code one will work with or without the tethering plan, as will PDANet and other apps.
Once we see the "hotspot" feature working, we can reverse the setting that enables it without T-Mo's permission.

BTW, where did you get this info? When I launch the built-in app, I see the SSID but dhcp doesn't seem to work. There's no agreement (like most other trial-ware junk like Tmo TV) - so what gives? If it's free, it certainly isn't working so far.
You guys are aware of the native wifi hotspot app already installed on the phone?

Anyone know whether the MobileAP from the Samsung phones, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804, works on this phone or the G2, or is it only for the Samsung phones?
I know there is 'Wireless Tether,' but I need infrastructure vs. ad-hoc.
had somebody any experience with download speeds after the 5gb limit has been reached?

Cant find Barnacle in market wtf? and im rooted already
no
first root
then get barnacle from market or google barnacle tether.apk
then install it
then go to its settings and in the LAN part put athwlan0
now it should work
I never had to specify any LAN/WAN interfaces for Barnacle to work. Weird that some have to that.

In 1.6 firmware, I had to change the interface. In 2.1 firmware, I didn't.
Excellent, that there is a thread regarding barnacle, right now!
I have installed barnacle yesterday and it was running nearly wo. problems (sometimes it does not want to connect, but another try will do it ;-) ).
But the connection I have with my notebook is very bad. Tested on speedtest.net said 200kbit/s down and 30kbit/s up...thats good in emergency case, but too slow for smooth surfing I would say!
How is the connection when you use barnacle?!?!
Btw: I use Wifi Tether! Also tried Wifi Legacy, but no difference spotted...

Now im really confused can i downgrade back to 1.6 and update to a a diff version of 2.1 i cant find or access alot of things help
I'm also using Banacle. Unlike 1.6, you don't need to assign interface name in Android 2.1, just left it blank.
Before press the start botton, ensure that wifi is turn-off and you have connection to 3G (or EDGE)
does barnacle tether offer bluetooth dial up networking like PDANet?

yes.
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

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?

I didnt want to remove it , as I do not know if it will screw the phone up. I figure I would see if anyone has an idea before I delete system apps
try removing the native app. do a backup just in case it dosent work and then remove the app.......worst case is you have to restore and your back at square one.
Not sure personally, but I'd there a way to freeze it in Titanium Backup

ya there is but im thinking that his native hotspot is taking over when he activates tethering so even if he freezes it in tibu it may still conflict.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?
Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.
Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
