its been a while since i have been here. i dont even know if i still have root. i know this thing updates itself. and i know the gps still sux big time.
anyway, i use to br able to use wireless tether and tether to my laptop. it would work ok. sometimes it would disconnect though. now it wont connect at all.
what are my options?
google wifi tether....oh and i recomend flashing a ICS rom such as aokp and enjoy rock solid gps. if you need instructions and files look up section 4 of my guide here in the gen section.

The native tether works in AOKP and Gummy haven't checked cm9. Setting/more. Just set it to open security.

I want to use Android Wired Tether on my Droid X with the recent Verizon OTA stock Froyo 2.2 update. I want to USB tether to many different Windows PCs.
I loaded the 2.2 Update over the Verizon network yesterday as usual.
I downloaded Android Wired Tether from the google code depot (wired_tether_1_4.apk) and installed the application.
I rooted the Droid X OS.
Running "Wired Tether" on the Droid X results in the the error message "Unsupported Kernel!"
The error is what I expected ( but not what I had hoped for ). From what I can gather, some of the networking software was removed from the stock Froyo ROM, contrary to other devices like the HTC incredible.
So my question; is there a ROM which includes the missing software? The "FlyX - birdman" ROM available on the Wiki page looks promising. I'm hoping the experts here can confirm my suspicions before I begin experimenting.
Thanks!

I am looking for this also. There are a few good reasons to use wired tether. No speed loss, your phone is charging, and no problems with rogue intrusion/detection.
I have tried wired_tether_1.4.apk on the first leaked 2.2 with no luck.
There may be a need to edit your tethered NAI before using Wired_Tether_1.4.apk also. Any insights on this?

Im not sure, but wireless tether works fine, im sure the speed isnt that much of a difference, and plug it into ur comp still if ur battery is low

Is this on 2.2 OTA or Leak, etc?
Your sig still says 2.1 rooted.
I'm not able to get my WiFi tethering working with 2.2 Leak.
Looks like we need a custom kernel to use wired_tether(the stock kernel has the necessary files removed). BUT, as far as I know there is nothing but the stock kernel for Droid X, atm. Correct me if Im wrong please.
The AOSP project for the DroidX does look interesting though.
There are lots of other options for tether but if you want to use USB, Wired_tether is preferred over PDAnet and easytether since there is no need for a client install. ANY Windows 7 machine (has RNDIS natively) and most Linux boxes with a USB port can instantly tether to the wired_tether program with zero modification.
I'd love to see wired_tether working on the Droid X.
PleaseStirMe
I don't know about "wired-tether", but "Easy Tether" uses USB. It works on 2.2. I am using it now. The connection is very reliable but not very fast. It does NOT require root. There is a free and a paid version.
It is a bummer that wifi tether does not stay connected. But I can recommend Easy Tether.
hello all, i got this question: is wifi tether based on kernel capabilities? because am using dk28 and is just not working for me, apk installs fine, open and run but i cant find the connection on my laptop/evo4g. I want to know if the kernel has to support it, if so does the stock dk28(rooted) has support for it or do i have to use a different kernel?
Thank you in advance!
mine works fine..your evo cant see it because android cant see adhoc ..idk about your laptop
I'm not sure what the above poster said about Evo, but this is Epic forum.
So, I had Pre 9 running on 2.1 rooted, would not work on DK28. I read somewhere that Pre 11 was working. Downloaded, turned on and everything was great, so the version makes the difference.
Hope that helps.
To reiterate what was said earlier.
Android phones are not capable of seeing adhoc connections. Which in this case of using WifiTether is what you are creating.
Your laptop should be able to see the connection just fine. I would go back and check some settings in wifirouter and your laptop to make sure you are able to get things working correctly.
Any version of wifirouter after pre11 should work. All the way up to pre15.
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.

Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.
Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.
I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.
I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.
I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?
how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?
It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.
This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.
Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks
I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Have an epic and I'm running 3.0 pre11 and I can use encryption. Its under deprecated downloads in the google code page. See above link.
Don't forget to hit "Thanks" if I helped!
i am actually tethering thru my epic to post this. The wifi tether is screwy for our phones. I use SFR1.2 and geno1.1final. 3g works, 4g causes a instant reboot on the phone, but it works in infrastructer mode without issue.

Can you post those APK's or the instruction please, I have an Epic as well.
I use wifi tether to connect my thunderbolt to my gt10.1. With version 3 I have it set to softap (master) not ad hoc. Access control is on and I have the routing fix box checked for htc phones. I tethered well over 1gb this morning with no problems

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!
Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.
I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
Hello one and all, Great job on CM7, however i have not been able to use my wireless for anything. On CM7.0 RC1,3,4 it wouldn't even turn on. Now on CM7.1 RC1 / nightly's, it will turn on, but it will error out when it try's to activate the interface. I can get USB teather to work, but not the wireless. the radio work fine as it is, it is the stock radio, and im not fond of upgrading it. IF you want the log let me know
There are lots of bugs with every CynogenMod Roms. They try to reduce it with every update.
So try to get the latest release, hope it solve your problems.

To answer your question. There are several apps in the "app world" that will work with most, if not all, ROMs.
You can use Barnacle from the market.
[https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&hl=en]
Or you can use the Open Source .apk
[http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list]
The nice thing about the Google Code one is you can block MAC addresses so not everyone is tethering off of you in public places. I always like leaving my SSID shown as something like "mah android powered your iPod", but use the MAC filtering.
