Now I'm sad to get rid of Wireless Tether for Root Users. It got me though so many months of unauthorized tethering, but it doesn't have a toggle in Extended Controls.
Edit: Is there any way to make it remember my SSID and security? Every time I turn it on it resets to null and open.
Which built-in hotspot?
Are you referring to the built-in hotspot in CM6 or the official hotspot provided by Sprint? I just used started using the official hotspot today because so far wireless tether for rooted users app is not working in 2.2
I must say it feels comfy knowing now if my internet goes out I can just call up Sprint. Plus I think it opens up more COM ports over 3G.
Is anyone successfully using 3g mobile hotspot (hacked) to tether their ps3? Im getting constant 3g drops... i can undestand not being able to game online with this, but even watching netflix or just web browsing is tough. With hotspot not on, my 3g icon never goes away, only when i start using the hotspot. Ive redid the settings through qpst twice so i know theyre right... any suggestions?

Having the same problem trying to share my connection with my 360. I've managed to play cod online without too much too much lag but I do lose connection completely on occasion for no apparent reason. I live less than 2 miles from my tower.

PS3 and Rooted hotspot
You guys are talking about your phone dropping your connection I cant even get mine to connect I use BARNACEL and OPEND GARDEN I even tried using EASY TETHER to my laptop and sharing my wifi with my built in INTEL. How did you guys get connected?
While I haven't done much tethering with the fascinate, I did use the "wifi tether" app on my incredible to share my connection with a PS3 successfully. Also, I seem to remember the built-in tethering working as well (if you're on CM7/MIUI). Actually, I just saw something the other day about needing to do a fix for the stock android tethering to work, so I don't know if that's a good option. Try wifi tether.
so, I am running 100% stock mtg4 on tmo. I just acquired a 1st refurb iPad yesterday that has work flawlessly with the mtg4 hotspot. However, my building at work only let's me have edge. when I enabled hotspot while on edge, the ssid won't show on my iPad nor other devices around the office. but as soon as I walk outside and get hpsa, my phone broadcasts the ssid and all is well.
is there any reason why hotspot would disable itself if all that is available is edge? I have been using PDA Net tethering my laptop occasionally over edge, and other than being slow it worked.
so, I am infer in the native hotspot code most be disabling itself if the phone is on edge...
any other people notice this behavior?
I can't speak for stock, but ...
Should you elect to root your phone and use a custom ROM, I can confirm that CM7's WiFi tethering works fine while on an EDGE connection. Where I work, EDGE is the only possible service, and I have the phone toggled 2G only when there to save battery.
So I'm a newb to phones but I have two HTC EVO 4gs and rooted both. The only difference between the two being that my phone has the ChopSuey kernel and my wifi tether works and my wife's does not have a kernel and her wifi tether does not work. The issue at hand is that her phone will open the wifi tether app and will allow computers to connect to it but once you try to use the internet it says no connection exists. Any help?
Anyone else experiencing this? My Verizon 7.7 has unreliable tethering on FoxFi, Wifi Tether, and the native tethering app. They all start up fine, but after about 10 min. the tablet's data connection starts to go in and out. Once I turn off tethering, the data connection becomes stable again. My Thunderbolt has no issues on Wifi Tether using the same SIM card.

My tablet is perfect on stock ics wifi tether, purchased in antwerp belgium, used in united kingdom.
CM9 port is nice but no wifi tether option, so using stock rom which I think is a nice job from samsung, transformed this device.

Hmmm...maybe it's just an issue with the Verizon version.

Bad luck, they probably added something in to make the experience poor and deter you from sharing the connection, in my experience best to steer clear of large controlling american companies if possible,

Just curious, what is the advantages of using external tethering apps over stock tethering option in Galaxy tab?
BTW i use stock bluetooth tethering and found no issue.

After upgraded to official ICS, i cant do a tethering anymore. My gtab is bought from malaysia. Anyone experiencing this also?
Similar problem with rooted 6800 after a clean ICS install. Tethering is working fine, but only until the screen shuts off. After that the stock tethering shuts also off.
Tried other apps like Wifi Tether and Barnacle, but have the same problem. After switching on, Barnacle says that it is interfering with Wifi Manager, whatever it means.
I have no task killer
I use usb tether on my gt-6800 running HC.
I sometimes get losses of Internet connectivity but I'm not sure if it is down to the signal where I use the tether. Eg. I was getting it a lot a few weeks ago but recently it's been pretty stable.
The lease on the IP seems to need renewing every hour and it's often around then that problems can happen.
