Wireless tether on cm7

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

wifi tethering without rooting the transfomer.

Using the above app and having root on the phone, you can wifi tether asus transformer that is not rooted. There are a few errors, but all and all it does work.

It depends on the phone's hotspot. When I first got my TF and non root, I tether to my N1 jsut fine. The TF just see my N1's hot spot as another wifi AP.

curious.. why would you want to tether your ASUS TF101?
the TF101 only has WIFI unless yuo habve the TF101G with the simcard slot.
the only time i could see you tethering your TF101 is if you had a mobile data service plan on it and you coudl share that with other devices and laptops.
if you just have the standard TF101 with wifi only and you tether it that seems like waste sharing the Wifi connection that other devices could easily just connect to anyways with out connecting through the TF101.
now since i have a samsung vibrant from Tmobile i do enable tethering on my phone and thne i connect my TF101 to my Samsung vibrant so that i can use it on the road but i jst dont see why anyone would want to enable tethering on a wifi only device.
i do notice that in wireless setup it has the option to enable hotspot but that makes no sense. why would i want to enable people to connect to my wifi only device that i am already getting wifi from somewhere else?
seems like an option that was meant to be on the TF101G but they left it enabled on the standard TF101

If I recall correctly, tethering is built in to Froyo and later as long as your carrier hasn't disabled it in their build for your phone. Or are you talking about something different?

I have a Nexus 1 also, tethering is not a problem with it because it simply acts as a regular wifi hotspot, the problem is if you have a phone that will only send out an adhoc wifi spot (like a symbian phone for example). The non-rooted transformer and other Android devices can not pick up an adhoc connection, unlike laptops and iOS devices which have no problem with them.

Add me to the don't understand list. I tether all sorts of device including unrooted transformer, iPad2, etc. to my rooted Evo.

my nexus tethers without root

This is an issue? My TF works perfectly with my Vision/DesireZ/G2 no problem.
What I'd REALLY like to see is a working USB tether. It seems dumb that I have to setup a Wifi hotspot then plug my phone into my TF in order to charge (since using the hotspot gobbles battery)

[HOW TO] TETHER in INFASTRUCTURE Via 4G

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.

Thanks! I don't get 4g that often, but this is nice to know for when I do!

This setup has always given me reboots and this is over several nexus phones not just one.

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

LOL!!!! YOU TOOK MY GLORY!! JK!! I WILL up date my page to show this!! IDK WHY no one ever took the time to post there lil findings?? Not singling you out!! BUT I WAS DOING BACK FLIPS. =This was the reason why i sold this phone. Luckily i can up on one again..I realized IVE BEEN MISSING A LOT!!!!
Also i think im getting better Download performance this set up - Ive never hit 11.5 mbps and i just did..Good looking OUT!!

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
Thanks for the great guide!!!
oh, btw...setting the app to epic 4g touch works on NS4G, as well

Note the setup above your post seemed to actually have worked better for me. This setup obviously works best for the people who need this in 4g areas who need infrastructure..

Yeah, after I posted yesterday I saw the one above, and I'm running n1 settings now works great!

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!

[Q] How can I do USB tethering, Wifi Tethering and Bluetooth Tethering?

My S4 is on it's way and the one thing I think that's better on my old phone is the tethering options. I have an inspire 4G with AOKP 4.2.2 and I use bluetooth tethering for my nexus 7, I also use USB tethering for my laptop. Very rarely do I use Wifi. But I want to know how can I do bluetooth and USB. It's very important that I'm able to do this because I work online and sometimes my internet is less then reliable and have to rely on my phone occasionally. Once I root this mofo, How can I do this? What works what won't work. I'm tempted to do the alteration to wifi tether I saw in another forum using the S4's stock wifi tethering but I'm not sure if I can revert the phone back to normal. I mean if I **** it up can I just flash a stock rom in odin or what?
