Anyone got their hotspot working w/o paying for tethering?

After rooting my phone I figured i would give the hotspot a shot. But when i try to browse on my ipad it brings me to the VZW self provision broadband page.
I normally use wifi tether, but i would rather be able to use the built in because its an infasture netowork vs the ad-hoc wifi tether gives me.

Not the case

actually your right and your wrong at the same time sadly; your right about the infrastructure network vs ad-hoc, but wrong about the 3g hotspot app vs. tethering & portable hotspot not an app.
The 3g hotspot app is a verizon product not googles in the sense your looking at.
The tethering & portable hotspot should have been activated in wireless & networks section, right between "Bluetooth setting & VPN settings" from a froyo(2.2) google standpoint but in our case its not even there.
Hope this clears up the mistakes about froyo tethering & portable hotspot and verizon 3g mobile hotspot app.

Yes it does thanks! I have a nexus one So i know what your talking about.

he stated in the post that he was rooted, he just wanted to use the native tethering application.

Does this mean that if we can get a vanilla Froyo or a custom ROM compiled from source that we'll have the true Android hotspot?

That's all fine and well except that the wifi tether app runs in adhoc mode not infrastructure.

why do not you just use pdanet from market?

There was a new experimental Wifi Tether build that was released dismorning bringing it up to Pre9. I was unable to find a change log, still adhoc?

Pdanet creates an ad hoc network just like every other third party app.

If its just the one computer you are logging on with use the BT method very easy and works quite well for free and even on non-rooted phone

Wireless tethering doesn't work

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

Is it true no wireless tether with gb build

Anyone able to confirm this? If that's the case ill probably stick to my rooted froyo...the tether is just too convenient at times...

You can tether, however the 3G wireless hotspot no longer works, I do believe Wireless Tether still works however

Didnt work for me... Tried using code.android wifi tether for root users yesterday and it did not work.
Think the application has to be updated.

Contact the developer. I use usb tethering through easytether, and it works perfectly

I had two tether apps, both failed under .595...depressing.
Someone inboxed me that the older version of the tether app works under GB, but I haven't tried looking for it. I will probably take JMoney47's advice and use easytether since he says it works.

Are you talking about the paid built in 3G Hotspot? That's working fine for me. Also one thing I like is how Motorola actually kept the code in for USB tethering now as well. I like this because now I don't have to worry about VZAccess manager which never supported the X - I just use my Mobile Hotspot/USB Tether 2GB plan with the built in USB Tether.
If your talking about rooted wireless tether, my buddy said he had issues with it. But the "official" one works.

wifi tether
I found this download and i am using my wifi tether as we speak. The rom on my droid x is ginger ale //code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk&can=2&q=[/url] you can find it here. One thing is i cant download anything on my tab maybe there is a fix for this .

What version of gingerbread are you running with this apk?

tether apps that work with kindle

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

ok im on stock romk plus root, it says im not rooted. the app says that i mean.......do i havr to flash a rom for this to work?

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
By SVTP
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.

WiFi tether help

Need help running WiFi tether on rooted galaxy nexus stock jb and I can connect at times but nexus 7 won't actually get connectivity helppp

Have you tried using the native tethering mod? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860817
Just flash from recovery and you can just use the stock wifi tethering in the settings menu.
EDIT: I suppose I didn't really answer your question... I know WiFi Tether can be quirky like that (at least back when I used it) but native tethering works great. If you really want to make WiFi Tether work... well I guess I'm no help!
