I just rooted the G2(vzw) and I tried 3 different tethering apps from the playstore and none work. It doesnt even broadcast a signal.
On barnacle it says "WIFI: Could not sed ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on trasnport endpoint"
I'm not a heavy data user, but I do need to tether since there is no ISP in my area (just 56k ('yes i said that) and satellite which is ridiculously expensive).
The Att version g had a built on tethering app did u freeze or uninstall that if you did unfreeze it..I just turned tethered on my g2

I have the verizon verison therefore if I try the built in app I get the pop-up saying I need the subscription. I'm grandfathered into the unlimited data.
Same here. No go just yet. Usb tethering works (Fox fi) but no wireless tether yet. (Verizon unlimited here)

Here is my situation.
I have 2.3.7, stock, rooted, using Pete's 2.6.35.14 kernel. I installed wireless tether 2.0.8 pre-1 and set it to use bluetooth tethering. It works great, even via 4G. My issue however, is that it only works great to 1 device. My laptop, or my Galaxy Tab 10.1, connect perfectly fine and there are no issues. If I try to connect the other device (whichever other, doesn't matter the order from what I've tried) it won't work.
If I have my laptop connected first, then on my Tab, it will say it is connected in the bluetooth settings menu, but there is no internet access and there is no bluetooth tethering icon down by the clock.
If I have the Tab connected first, then try my laptop it will also say connection successful but then down on the taskbar the internet icon will have the little exclamation point and it will say no internet access.
Soooo..... is there a way to connect multiple devices via bluetooth? I really really hope so, but perhaps this is just a limitation of the PAN profile in bluetooth, or maybe the phone is only using the DUN profile or something. But in all my searching I haven't found an answer and I just don't know myself. Any devs out there know?
Why not just use Wifi to tether multiple devices?

Because 4G tethering via wifi doesn't work (in infrastructure mode, anyway), unless you pay the $29.99 to Sprint, which I am currently doing. But in my opinion, it is BS that they charge this. And given I very rarely use tethering, I hate paying for it.

This only unlocks the 3G tethering though, not 4G. Right? Or did I miss where that was also fixed?

Nope, not true. When it first was out, 3G was.... but subsequent updates have stopped even that.
I think the max on Bluetooth tethering is something like 2 MB download so make sure your getting all you can.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
No other thoughts on this?
Yeah David279, it probably isn't fast enough to get full 4G speeds, but still plenty fast for the little bit I'd use it.... oh well, I guess I'll keep paying $29.99 a month until someone figures out how to do infrastructure in wifi tether on the Nexus S (or until I buy the prime if it ends up on Sprint).

Settings > Tethering & Mobile Hotspot > Mobile Hotspot
I have 5 people with smart phones so I went with the new family plan which includes Mobile Hotspot. Call verizon to see if you will be charged if you use it. The ads for the phone from verizon said 8 devices can connect with 4G and 5 devices with 3G. I think the carriers are beginning to realize that charging for tethering from a phone is a battle that they aren't going to win.

I have 3 smart phones and 2 regular phones and a tablet. 2 phones have unlimited data. I have a discount and I am only paying $20/month for the unlimited data per phone. I use 6+MB each month and the others barely use 2 combined.
I have asked VZW to review my account and the share everything plan will actually cost me money because of my discounts.

You can use the app "wifi hotspot and USB tether" by svtp. Go to settings and change the device profile to samsung Ics. After 2 days you have to pay for the app but it works with no root on the Razr M

It could be a feature not enabled in your plan. I would check there first
It's not part of my plan. I'm trying to do it "on the sly".
I was hoping I could get Wi-Fi tether to make the Nexus 4 appear as an access point, and not ad-hoc, but I haven't been able to get it to do that. Anyone else had luck?

Can anyone help?? I've looked everywhere. I can connect to the hotspot, just not to the internet. Same thing happens with the hotspot on my Galaxy Tab. Both are with ATT.

AT&T actively blocks teather if you don't pay for it. Not sure of a work around as they are blocking it from there end not the phones end. That said some of the thethering apps claim to be able to defeat this, the one Koush made, clockworkmod tether, comes to mind but it only has a 14 day free trial, $4.99 after that. It also requires a desktop client to be installed. Also is this plain AT&T or Straight Talk AT&T? Straight Talk limits you to 100 MB of data per day with a 2 GB cap. If you go over either they throttle you to 2G speeds for the rest of the month.
Regular ATT, not straight talk. Looks like the clockworkmod tether is usb only.....

He's trying to tether his phones connection like in a incognito mode so T-Mobile can't notice it. They will just think he's using regular data.

no. you can try playing with the user agent, but theyll probably still see you. sometimes they wont even try to stop you, other times they are very strict. as of lately, theyre pretty diigent about stopping tethering if you dont pay for it.
I was on Tmos Value Plan (no tethering) and received several text messages about needing to add mobile hotspot before they blocked access to Internet Explorer via tethering (although could do anything else on my Windows 7 laptop)
Called support and they switched me to simple Choice while keeping my current contract term intact to avoid a migration fee. I haven't hit the 500MB tethering mark (I'm on the unlimited data plan) accordingly to data usage stats in Android so well see if they can truly track my hotspot usage (T-mobile says they can but I know it's not possible on the Nexus 4)

this is not true. they can. you are using their network, they know all about you, and what you are doing on their network. all your data is going through their network. all the information about your device, what its doing, all its identifiers, are being watched by tmobile. otherwise, they wouldnt let you onto their network. what makes you think that they cant track a nexus 4??

On most current t-mobile branded phones tethering is done via a proprietary hotspot app that tells t-mobile you are tethering, checks to see if your account can do mobile hotspot, and how much tethering data is being used. Nexus devices do not do this and therefore t-mobile only knows about tethering via useragent strings.
Also I checked my account online and T-mobile has nothing set up there to tell unlimited data users how much of their 500mb hotspot data cap they've used. If the network was able to track that wouldn't they show it in usage stats?

Hey everyone, first of all thank you for taking the time to look at my post.
My question is this, what is the difference between the mobile free hotspot and the wifi tether app? Reason why I ask is, on older rooted phones the wifi tether app was the program you ran to get your phone to be a hotspot. Even if your phone was preloaded with a mobile hotspot option from your cell phone carrier. From what I thought, even if there was a hack to use the original mobile hotspot preloaded on your phone. The cell phone carrier could moniter your usage? So thats when wifi tether app was made available, to avoid this. Or am I waaaay off bases?

I believe you are correct, but from Sprint with unlimited data, all they would see is the data usage, so using the native hotspot shouldn't alert them to anything strange. In my experiance the wifi tether apps are not as reliable, with the native hotspot hack, I have no problems, and when using a tether app it seems to require much more configuration and was still not as reliable, I frequently got "limited or no connectivity" using a tether app.

To be honest I have not tested that, because hotspot works consistently and the tether app wouldn't always get internet access when connected, I went with what is easier. I would assume that it is based on your current network speed. I ran a speed test and got 2.18Mbps down and then connected my laptop to the hotspot and got 1.98Mbps down. So it is close, I don't currently have a working tether app since this works ok. I know the speed sucks but its only 3g in the 24th floor of an office in Denver, where LTE is not fully released yet.
