The app wireless tether does not work for me anymore. It says wireless tether has started with errors. I check the log and many things failed such as setting channel, setting essid, setting ad-hoc mode, and activating wifi interface. How can I get this to work? Running CM7 with the HDMI kernel.
Same here. I tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. I'm using UD and Myn's.
doesn't work on cm7 with savage zen either
no errors but nothing will see it when scanning
The only thing I have got to work is Barnacle..and also the built in hot spot works well too.
I've been having the same issue. Barnacle works but that only does an adhoc network, so my PS3 and Kindle won't connect to it
Works fine on my stock 2.2 Evo. Just used it today.

I had the same problem, but I was able to get it working with version 2.08-pre1 ***Experimental***. The latest version did not work for me on CM7 nightly, and the native one didn't work either, but the version above works like a charm!
Native one works perfect for me on CM7 build 22.
Works great on ava z3 rom for 3g as for 4g I have to use the green tether or i get the you have not subscribed to this service call sprint like yea I'm gonna pay to use 4g and kill my battery

go into rom manager and choose fix permissions.. bingo!
if that doesnt work check wifi settings and make sure that you dont already have a preinstalled tethering app ( some newer roms like destroyer have this built in )
Try a different kernel

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
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ions-of-wifi-tether-app-for-evo-21-wont-work/
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.
The Nexus S 4G will allow you to tether 3G or 4G using most of the apps in the market such as Wireless Tether or the built in hotspot app (3G only), but these methods turn your NS4G into an Ad-Hoc network. Some devices, my notebook computer for instance won't accept an Ad-Hoc connection so I found another (Simple IMO) method.
Some background:
My brother has an Evo 4G and he has never had any issues tethering to my notebook computer using 4G so I wanted to find out why. Turns out Evo's use a different method of tethering. They do not broadcast as an Ad-Hoc network they use a completely different method of tethering called "SoftAP". This essentially makes Evo's think they are actual Access Points, which any wi-fi enabled device can connect to.
I found a way to make my NS4G work in this manner using the WiFi Tether app, very similar to the Wireless Tether app in the market.
Prerequisites:
MUST be rooted.
Make a nandroid backup ( better safe than sorry)
Have some time to toy with the settings if the ones listed below don't work (which they should)
Download and Install attached file "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6" on your NS4G and grant SU permissions.
Open app and go to Settings-> and change to the following below:
Change Device-Profile: Samsung Galaxy S
Change Setup-Method: Netd (Master)
Once you change those settings you will be able to tether as an Access Point and not as an Ad-Hoc connection allowing you to connect and tether your 4G with pretty much any wifi device.
You may have to play around with the different variations of the options but the ones I have given above should work just fine.
**One thing I should note, the only issue I've had with this is set up is when you stop the connection. The app might "Force Close" and on occasion reboot the device. But that is a small price that I pay to tether my 4G connection.
Let me know if this method works for you just so I can confirm it wasn't a fluke on my end!
Hope this helps anyone with similar tethering issues.
the latest version from the market allows you to choose softAP mode

Wireless Tether is blocked for us 4G users on the market. The last version that I was able to download from the market was 2.0.7 and it didn't include the softAP option. While I never have had a problem running in ad-hoc mode it's good to know the app has been updated since 2.0.7, thanks joesloco for the heads-up.
btw your instructions worked for me I was able to connect with 4G through an actual AP instead of an ad-hoc network.
Shuts my 4g and 3g down waaaaah!!!
sent from my Touchwiz'd Nexus S 4g
My Nexus S 4G is running on latest stable version of Cyanogenmod.
As far I know, the 4G switch/widget is broken in this version.
When I turn it on from settings, 4G scans for a while and then it says disconnected. Does 4G work with Cyanogenmod? Any patch required? Or should I replace with a different ROM?
I'm in a major city that has Sprint 4G coverage.
How could I get 4G tethering working?
Thank you.
Great guide. I forgot all about this when I used it on my optimus.
I heard that this is faster than the native one. Is that true?

Wifi tether and wifi toggle is working fine in this build
I can confirm this.
so will this see it's way into the official soon? I use wifi pretty heavily mon-fri so it's important that it works well for me.
Thanks.

It's been pushed into source so yes, he just wants validation that all is fine with it on a more widespread basis.
Downloading this now (over 3g...) I tried the official plus the latest nightly and neither got wifi trying all the tricks mentioned. Hopefully this will do it. Considered going back to clean gb to download with wifi by I think the restore would take just about as long.

Confirmed
I just installed it and can confirm wifi working. Setting Wifi from the settings didn't work the first time (it waited and asked me if I want to force close or wait), but second time it worked. Toggle from status bar is also working for me.
Wifi had worked for me with previous CM7 build also..

What about tether?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
This worked like a champ. Turned on in the wifi settings so I could see if there was an error and immediately a list of access points popped up. That never happened on this before. Connected first try using wpa2 encryption on my router.
Great job!
Edit: just tethered with portable wifi hotspots to my ipad. Worked great!

Go into settings<Wireless networks and settings and it should say portable hotspots. And then enable it within there.

I may have wrong build installed because I don't have the portable hotspot section in wireless & network settings. I only have following sections in wireless & network settings - Airplane mode, Wi-Fi checkbox, Wi-Fi settings, Bluetooth checkbox, Bluetooth settings, VPN settings, Mobile networks

Hello all this question has been raised Countless times!! Well I just Figured something out that has worked FOR ME!!
HOW CAN YOU TETHER IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE in 4G? No more tethering with 3g only with android ap or 4g in AD-HOC with wifi tether for root users..
What does this mean?
You can now connect to your devices that cannot connect to the AD-HOC (PEER) signal!!
EXAMPLE TABLETS, PS3 and anything else that cannot pick up the peer to peer Signal.
Also Allows Much faster tether speeds Via 4g as compared to AD-HOC
currently us users are only able to connect to 3g via The Native Tether AP you are not able to tether via 4g IN Via Infrastructure!!
My current set up if it matters ICS ROM and Mathkids most recent kernel!! And WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS Exactly..
1. Assuming Your set up is similar (as i have not verified it works any other way) Install WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
2. Open up the tether program - select device profile - Chose Galaxy nexus CDMA
3.Change Setup Method - Select Netd (Master)
4. Change Device Profile - Select Samsung Epic 4g
5 - Start to tether as you would normally AND OBSERVE!! MAGIC IT NOW IS TETHERING IN INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
Hopefully Wifi tether for root users can now be updated to allow the NS4g TO TETHER!! This is important and I know the few people that understand what I am talking about will surely appreciate this!!
Thanks a lot i will definitely give this a try.

I can confirm it causes reboots but only after heavy usage, for instance I have multiple devices connected and I get a phone call while I have an app already open. I notice my battery temperature goes up to around 104 or higher when it happens. Most time its fine though.

I'm getting really slow internet this way. Normally I get about 1.5MB/sec with 4G usb tether, and now I get about 300KB/sec with wifi tether. The 4G icon shows, but I'm just not getting proper speeds. Also, speedtest showed I was getting about 60KB/sec with 4G wifi tether
Oh, and I can't get any ap passwords to work, either. The wifi app accepts them just fine, but windows says it's wrong.
This setup works perfect (FOR ME) FOR 4G in Infrastructure, as far as 3g just use android AP - Native tether - i used it for 5 and a half hours last-night plugged in not 1 reboot - make sure your set up is similar maybe the kernel or something.
IT IS DEFINITELY FASTER as i was averaging 6 Mbps down. I live in a 4g area - so this may only apply to certain individuals!!
IM USING IT AS I POST
ALSO I WAS USING HEAVY NETFLIX VIA PS3 and my computer connected downloading...
I would look into a combination of kernels - ALSO NOTE MY PHONE SETUP -
Nice! Works well with this set up connecting to my tablet in infrastructure with 4g. Battery temp isn't getting that high either.
this is working great, thank you. im currently connected to 3 devices. my pc,tv and tablet. my tv is currently streaming netflix in hd and im surfing the web and typing this message with my pc. getting 4g tether speeds between 7-10 mbs. i am running bigxie rom with latest mathkid kernal. those who are having troubles make sure you follow the instructions and not just install the apk and run it

I finally got this working better. I had to change my rom from CM9 3.0 to aokp 25, then I changed to channel 11...now I get about 1600KB down. I tried streaming some video, but it's choppy. I don't know how some people are doing it, but it's just not smooth enough for me. So if I want to watch TV, I can switch to usb...but at least I can browse, download, etc with wifi and not have to leave my phone all the way across the living room
