Is there is a working wireless tether app that works and doesn't trigger the built in one?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
Sorry it took so long for someone to get back to you. I recently tried to tether after having not tethered for a couple weeks, just to find everything being redirected to Verizon's site. I try a few different tethering apps and I even re-install my ROM (liberty). Eventually, I get EasyTether. Worked great. Search it in the app store and pay for it if it works for you. It's quite fast and the most stable tethering app I've ever used. The only problem is you have to connect your phone to the computer via usb, but I was then able to create an ad hoc network for my brother to use through my laptop.
PDAnet should still be working. Look for it in the market.
I know verizon is messing w/a lot of the tethering apps. Theres a good article here CNN Tethering w/verizon
Barnacle has been working well for me. I don't have the stock tethering app any more because I'm running CM7 and not blur, so I can't make that assumption. The free version works, the only thing the donate version gives you is a nifty toggle widget. I bought because this dev did a great job.
I'm still using Wireless Tether for Root Users. I was on a GB leak for awhile, Apex I think, before I tried to tether again and could not get it to work, seemed I was at a crossroads. Netflix via GB, or tethering via Froyo. I weighed the options and decided I just needed tether more so I went back to a Fission Froyo. I was surprised to find out that the Netflix app actually worked, guess they fixed that. All and all a Froyo Rom was just better for me. Too many bugs on the various GB roms, and tether doesn't seem to work, believe it was something that was built into the leaked releases that could tell when you try to tether, that's not there on Froyo. So if you're desperate, roll it back, should work for you.
I used Barnacle today and it works perfectly.

I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Probably so, is there anyway someone can gain access to a "hacked" sprint hotspot for the Shift?

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Well deleting the spint hotspot made no difference. Now a few days later I can't even tether on 4G. Quite frustrating, this. Any suggestions?

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

NYC here.
Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh
I have tried multiple roms on my phone, both if tiamats kernals on the XOOM and can't for the life of me get the xoom to see my wifi connection being broadcast by my droid incredible. I have verified that it is working by connecting my laptop to my d-inc so for some reason the Xoom won't see it. Anyone get this working, how? I ahve also tried BT pan and that won't work either.
Cyanogen 6.1 stable with my Inc and I have tethered WiFi fine. I set up with WPA2 security. Nothing special.
RE:
I have used tethering with IHFTP69's Skyraider rom and it works just fine.
Thats the main reason that I didn't get a data plan with my xoom is cuz I got the D-INC.
LOVE IT =D
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll change roms and give it a shot. Are you using the Wifi-Tether app pre11?
i have been able to use the wifi tether, however, I have not been able to get a Bluetooth tether going. My work shouts down rogue APs, so indeed to be able to use the Bluetooth coonection... anyone been able get this going as well?

Your issue is the Wireless Tether App, not your ROM. The Wireless Tether App from the Market uses Ad-Hoc mode, not infrastructure mode. Use the built in android tether or the newest Wireless Tether Beta, which I think uses the proper WiFi mode.
Cyanogen 7 stable stock tether works great. Bluetooth is another story, I would also love to get BT tether working with the dinc
the latest wireless tether has infrastructure so give it a try

So you are saying that Pre11 works with your Incredible and CM7? Is your Xoom rooted? Does it have the stock kernel?

What phone do you have and what rom. Also is your XOOM rooted? If so what kernel is it running, stock, tiamet, brushdog?
I am using my unrooted Dinc to wifi-tether my Xoom just fine, and I am not paying for the tethering fee. I am using the stock tethering app that came out with froyo.
I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.
Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO
From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.
I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.
Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.
I successfully rooted my wife's Droid 2 on Gingerbread and now when I run the wireless tether app, I get a notification that i'm using the hot spot feature, takes me to a website showing me the cost to adding the hot spot feature and not allowing me to tether unless I pay.
Is there a way to bypass this so that she can use her wireless tether without this nonsense?

There is 'wireless tether for root users' in the market and it is free. It allows for wifi tethering.

That's the app i've been using. Never had a problem on froyo but now with gingerbread, it recognizes that a hotspot has been activated when I turn on the wireless tether for root app.

I can confirm that beta 6 works 100%.
Just finally got success on gingerbread rooted Droid 2.
When we opened the settings, 'Droid X (CDMA)' was already selected.
I could have tried it before and selected that option in the past (and this maybe was reading those settings)
but with everything normal except Droid X (CDMA) chosen it works. Try it!

Wireless tether app v. 3 beta11 does not work for me even when set on DroidX (CDMA). Is free wireless tether with root a thing of the past? I've seen the TBH hack, but I don't run windows and I don't know if I trust myself messing with the phone that much...
Works fine for me on the 1/21 build of cm7

You need to get a hold of the team blackhat zip file that's the wifi hotspot hack, then you will flash it in clockwork mod recovery. After that download the latest wifi tether apk file and it will work.

Anybody get wifi tethering to work on rooted ginger 596?
Yeah Verizon added some code into the stock gingerbread build that lets them detect when an app is attempting to create a wifi network. So it high jacks you to their website. You can either use team black hats wifi tether fix, or use a custom rom that doesn't have that ****ty code in it. I'm currently using MIUI 2.2.10 and its basically a gingerbread rom with ICS features. You can run wifi tether no problem on it, it also has its own built in wifi tethering feature.
If you're gonna stick with gingerbread stock though, team black hats zip fix is most likely gonna be you're only solution.
Hello
I have a Droid X on 2.3 It's rooted and everything and recently I tried tethering. Every time I connect to my phone with my iPad it sends me to Verizon's page to subscribe to tethering plan. I was using Wireless Tether..but that stopped working..so now I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether. That was working great until I updated to 2.3 I saw in the market WIFI Tethering but that wouldn't even download. Anyway for me to tether without verizon sending me to the subscribe to a tethering plan page?
Thank you

I am very curious now, because I am still on Froyo, and I just checked and my DroidX does indeed have the DataManager .apk and the database files! (by the way, the database has 50,000 records!) Does this mean that big red is also tracking tethering on Froyo??? The reason I kept refusing to switch to GB is because of that issue. Hmm..
Tried the patch above twice
Back to the drawing board I guess... I'm not really sure how to figure out this adhoc thing... With the beta app above, open garden, and barnacle I can see the SSID but it will not connect, and when I'm on my Xoom it says adhoc not supported. But the thing is, I could tether before, and I could connect with the xoom; before I installed MIUI 1.10.7 android version 2.3.5 gb
Before I flashed this rom I never heard of this adhoc... I am reading that there may be no fix for this right now, is that correct???
The link above installed okay, but when I go to open the app it installs I get a force close =/

Check your permissions on root explorer.
And example is
Use root explorer
Go too app data
Click on wifi tether
Check to make sure under owner execute is checked.
make sure if you got the wugfresh patch you select droid x under profile in settings. Common mistake.
Also with a custom rom you may want to go back to stock and try the wugfresh process again. I can assure you it works on a droid x. I've done it many times not with a custom rom though.
