Just got an HTC Rezound and was just wondering if I could tether my Kindle Fire with my phone and use it's 4G connection when I'm not at home or near WIFI? I apologize if this has been covered but I couldn't find any updated threads on this.
If I'm able to can someone please tell me a working tether application that I can use and how to use it properly. I haven't tethered since my OG.
Thanks everyone.
if your phone is able to operate as hotspot then you need nothing at the kf
i'm using zt-180 adhoc switcher from the market to tether with pc (connectify)
this has also been reported to work with phones which only support adhoc mode

Yes, my Rezound has a hotspot app if that is what you mean, its the official Verizon mobile hotspot app? It came preinstalled on the phone. Verizon charges to use the app though.
I was just curious if I could install an app on my phone and kindle fire so my kindle fire could use the 4G from my phone to access the internet, etc.? So if I'm in a car I can just turn my phone on and my KF will have internet. How do I do that with the app your talking about?
If you want to use Mobil hotspots from Verizon that will work but it will cost you monthly to use. If you don't want to spend any lotr than you have to, you will need to root your phone and install Wireless Tether from Google marketplace and you should be fine.

My friend has a phone but its not turned on i have a rooted hero running cm6 i got the wireless tether app can he get on if i turn on the wireless tether app from my hero

You will be able to get a wifi connection on the phone - you wont be able to call or text - so basically its like an ipod touch -
and he can only connect to your hero if he's using one of the last few nightlies when they turned on the ability to connect to ad-hoc. Normally, an android device cannot connect to an ad hoc network.

Have you heard of punctuation? I'd love to help but I have no idea what you're asking.
EDIT: It appears you're asking if another person can connect to your Hero using their phone. That's only possible if their phone supports connecting to Ad Hoc wireless points.

Along those lines, does a kernel exist that supports WiFi tether in AP mode on the Hero200?
no drivers to allow that. If your friend is running froyo or eclair (doesn't work on all phones), he can use the wpa_supplicant from this thread. Then he can connect to ad-hoc
I am not home i will try it thanks

Anyone using barnacle wifi on mytouch and able to actually tether? I know about wifi tether built into the phone or the wireless tether app. Those work fine, I want to use barnacle because of its open NAT. So no critics please. I just need someone that got it to work because my device can see it, but barnacle won't show me its connected or that its a client

I have it installed and configured, but can't get anything to connect to it. The SSID broadcasts, but it shows up as an available "device" vs. a wifi network. I try to connect by with and without WEP (Barnacle says it failed to parse WEP if security enabled), and it appears to connect, but Barnacle shows no client connections and no access from the other device.
Just using the android wifi tether app instead...

Hope it's not a (too) stupid question - with a rooted device, can I use the Wi-Fi Tether bundled app w/o the tethering option in my plan (read: for free)?
Thanks
Hi there
I use Wifi tether for root users, looks and works better than Barnacle
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Which version have are you using?
None of them specify MT4G.
I have a rooted Mytouch 4g running 2.2 and was able to get "Android-wifi-tether" working using the version for the Samsung Fascinate 2.x. Its the last option at the link h4xdaplanet provided.
I cant provide a direct link since I have a new account, sorry.
Thanks
I actually got this one to work a while ago but forgot to update

I am using to built in hot spot with no issues at all, before and after root. Not a stupid question. As long as you have the data plan, afaik, there is no current extra cost for using wired or wireless tethering. Hope this helps.
I recently rooted my EVO 4G and downloaded the wifi tethering app. So, a couple questions. 1. Is this an ad hoc network? 2. I dont think ps3 supports ad hoc networks, so is there a way to connect my laptop to my phone and have the laptop act as the AP (non ad hoc).
Nevermind, figured it out. I guess the android wireless tether app is not ad hoc. As my ps3 was able to connect. Worked extremely good by the way.
How did you do it? I need to test it with my G2 but with my slide the ps3 didn't even see the signal from my phone - or if it did, it didn't up on the connection list after scanning.

And how would you change the NAT settings to open using WiFi tether? Call of Duty black ops is on strict when using wifi tether, no lag or anything just hard to connected to friends???

Ok, so I am using ZT180 Adhoc Switcher to connect to my Galaxy S II's (Epic 4G Touch) 4G webs via Wireless Tether.
I am able to use facebook, Words with Friends, Google Reader (not perfect), the Market and many other apps' web capabilities without a problem. i.e. Facebook works as it would on a wifi network.
However, many of my apps don't recognize my internet connection even though it is there. So, is there anything I can do to make all of my apps recognize my wireless tether connection or am I stuck using the select few that work?
Search search search search. This tells you how to set up a infrastructure network.

I'm using ZT180 to switch from Infrastructure to Adhoc so I can tether. That part is taken care of. I have internet on my Kindle from my phone.
The problem is that some apps recognize it and some apps don't.
The point is, you don't NEED to use adhoc at all. Setting up the phone as I already explained in the other thread and it will be set up in infrastructure mode, and the Kindle will connect with no issue.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Should have read more into it.
Well I finally got Wireless Tether beta working, but I'm having the same problem where apps such as Dolphin Browser will not work, but Facebook will.
I'm using an Infrastructure connection, but many apps will not recognize it anyway...
Do I need to uninstall the ZT180 switcher in order to remove files from system/etc/wifi??
My wifi icon still has the small 'x' in the right hand corner.
I would try to remove it. I tether to my phone all the time and have no issues with Dolphin or any other apps.

I uninstalled the app and deleted the "tiwlan.ini_ZTO..." that came with it, but I still see the ZT180 Adhoc Switcher and Warning AdHoc_Mode as wireless networks that i can connect to...
Epic Touch 4g has various issues with infrastructure mode. Best answer I can give you is to install a recovery and flash blazer rom. Its Sprint hotspot fully supports 4G infrastructure mode.

Wow, I can't believe I overlooked this. I'm running Blazer 3.2 and previously i had looked in the Wireless and Network settings for the Hotspot settings, but since it was not there I had just assumed PhantomHacker left it out of the build.
long story short - i activated the Sprint Hotspot app that was in my app drawer and it's working flawlessly!
Thanks so much! Surely I won't be charged from Sprint for this? I'll post in the Blazer forum as well.
Sorry for the late reply, but ive been running the hotspot for a whole wig no ill effects

i have no internetz at my house, so im forced to tether. i have am epic 4g and the hacked sprint hotspot works ok, but wifi tether for root users wont show up on my kindle.
does anyone know of any other apps so i can tether my kindle to my phone??
im rooted with market, no recovery or rom yet, but ill flash a rom if it will help this.
i like the stock rom bc of the lockscreens that change every time... i like that.
You need an app called zt-180 ad-hoc switcher. Download it on your fire and follow the on screen instructions

I installed wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk on my Rezound and my Kindle Fire works fine, I didn't have do anything special.
WiFi Tether version 3.1-pre110. It works flawlessly when tethering with my Galaxy Nexus, I don't have to adjust any settings.
i have wifi ver 2.0.7 as well, is there something on my epic i need to do? this is killing me, bc i want to put cm7 on my phone but 4g doesnt work with sprints hotspot but does with wifi for root users. and i have plenty of 4g here so i wanna use it
You shouldn't have to flash a Rom for it to work. You have to leave it named androidtether. Try updating your su binaries

I'm using wireless tether for root users on my 3d to get Internet and it works fine. I did have to change some under the hood stuff to get 4g to work so that might be why my Fire works with it.

Wifi tether will work, you just have to get the settings right. Open the app, hit Menu, then hit the checkboxes next to "Enable MSS clamping" and "Enable Routing-fix". After that you should be good to go.
I have wireless tether for root users ver 2.0.7
I don't see any settings like that in my app... what app are you talking about?
Maybe someone post a fresh wifi tether for root users 2.0.7
Or any app that works.

maybe my experience is helping:
is the network in infrastructure mode (normal hotspot) -> don't need any software
is it a adhoc network -> use zt-180 adhoc switcher (make correct settings - ssid - wep key if needed)
Wifi hotspot and usb tether

Works fine.
What I use is a Rom on my phone, android has wifi tether built in, the carriers just disable. Flash a Rom and use androids native tether, free and simple

Barnacle wireless tether works well for me. Use it on my Droid x2. Verizon hasn't blocked it on the market yet.

Cant post links yet because I havent reached the magical 8 post number yet but just go to google and type wireless tether, the first site that comes up in search takes you to the place to download the different wifi apps.
