Has anyone else recently had a problem with their wifi tethering? I have a rooted Nexus S 4G on a stock rom. I used to be able to wifi tether flawlessly, with speeds downloading at around 1MB/s... but as of late its down to around 10KB/s. But tethering with USB, it works normally. Can anyone help me with some suggestions as to why this is happening?
try to use barnacle wifi tether app
tried that. same problem. I've tried every wifi tethering app I can find. all the same result.
I use http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list and it works pretty well. Cant say i've ever tested its speed on my laptop tho.

Hey all, I can't seem to get my Xoom to connect to my incredible that is running the wifi hotspot app. I am guessing that is because it is an ad-hoc network. Anybody know of a work around?
I was having the same problem with my Droid. I ended up using the Bluetooth option and connected my Xoom to that. Works great.
i had the same issue with my d2g. i reinstalled from the market and changed the channel to ch. 8. now i'm tethering in high gear.
hey everyone, I LOVE cm7 and stock android, but I use my phone to tether more than anything else and I need a solid tethering solution. My problem is that Wireless Tether app doesn't work with CM7 (at least last time I tried it) and the built in tether doesn't seem to work for me, (broadcasts but I don't get any internet connection)
Does anyone know of a way to Fix wireless tether app or why the built in one isn't working for me?
use barnacle tether, its free. but if the default settings arent working then go into the barnacle settings and click the "skip-wpa supplicant" or something like that. if it didnt work the first time it should work then
Thanks! I'll try that
I use the built in tether quite often on CM7. I am running rc3 right now and haven't had a chance to test it out but it has worked on the last 4 nightlies I've run.

the reason why the built in tether does not work for you is because you either used a wireless tether app or you have one installed. what you have to do is you must uninstall all wireless tether apps you have and then you must reflash your mod and obviously reboot once you do that it will be working for you. trust i just had this problem and i did a lot of research on it and i actually figured this out today and it worked. so give it a try and let me know how it goes. ^_^
would love to say this is the problem but it isnt
has something to do with dhcp, i can connect wirelessly to the phone np but wont get an internet connection because the phone decides to flake out and not assign an ip address for my laptop.
I tried to connect it earlier and it didnt work but i left it connected. I walked away, came back 10 minutes later and finally got an ip address and internet on my laptop. so either it just takes its sweet time assigning an ip or its tempermental
all good here
hi,
of no real help, but I am using CM7 stable and mine works without issue.
CM7 Final here and it works fine for me. Like others suggested, try wiping and reflashing.

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?

Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?
I got the native tether to work thanx guys

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me

I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.
I got Wireless Tether 2.0.7 because I need infastructure mode to work for my wifi Xoom.
It's not working at all in Gingerbread...takes forever to start, and if it does, always starts with "errors." And it won't show up on my Xoom.
In Froyo, it worked...mostly. After using it once, the phone has to be rebooted, or the wifi tether will cause the phone to freeze.
It had been working fine uptil 2.0.6, but that doesn't have infastructure mode.
Has anyone been successful to get this to work?
Btw I am running Geo's Gingerbread ROM.
I actually just solved this problem on my phone. Goto there Google page and get the newest one. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre13.apk&can=2&q=

hey did you get this to work?
I tried all the versions here
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
and from version 2.0.7 up to beta version WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6 *** BETA ***
I cannot get a good transmission from my HTC EVO 4G. When I turn the app on it indicates that the speeds are 10megs but when I use speednet to test the speed I only get less than a meg. Now I turn off wifi tether and speednet takes off superfast. I also tried wired tether and I get awesome speeds. My problems is wifi tethering
Any help please
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.
