Has anyone found or established and working wifi or usb tether on stock rooted rom? This is single handly the most important function that I require on my phone. I will probably be trading it in on the Nexus 5 this week, it doesn't look like we will see working hotspot anytime soon. If anyone has a working tether please share.

Clockworkmod tether works just fine with that the USB. I take it you're with T-Mobile?

Clockworkmod Tether connects and works for me but it randomly disconnects on both my PC and laptop. Can't figure out what's causing it.

Yes I agree it does it to me too... And you tried pda+/foxfi?

i got it to work on tmobile by using sqleditor and changing a value.... but it doesnt stick after a reboot. luckily it just takes a few seconds to change. and pdanet worked perfect for usb tethering

Are there any devs working on this?
Would be much appreciated!
I don't want to hijack your thread, but I was going to make a thread and I wondered if this was better suited to go with your post. Maybe you guys have encountered this and figured it out. Part of our problem is that no one really wants usb usally. They want wifi. But right now I'd be thrilled to have a good, stable usb tether for when I need it. The only way I've been able to keep it stable is by constant download, like setting something going in the background on Netflix, but that's not a real solution!
I have a few issues. This is USB tether and not WiFi.
I need to set up for occasional tethering and just planned on using USB tethering. I went to clockworkmod tethering and installed it on a Sprint variant LG G2(LS980). I am trying to get that working on two different computers. Computer 1 is an older laptop running Vista. Computer 2 is a new laptop running win8.
Computer 1 has the app installed and works. The issue is, if I stop downloading anything for just a few moments, it quits working. I then have to close out the app on the phone and then reopen it and it takes off just fine. I’d like to know how to make that a stable connection.
Computer 2 is more of the issue. First, the Win8 driver signature enforcement setting was disabled. The app was installed on the computer and there was tethering for a little bit. Long enough to try a page or two and then point the computer to speedtest, which was 16mbps down, which is great for where we are in the country. After the test there was a gap in downloading any information. It quit tethering and would never work again. It was believed it might be due to the wrong driver. The first one was taken directly from the LG page a week or two ago, LGMobileDriver_S50xxxx, so the app was relaunched and attempted to use the driver found on triple double u clockworkmod dot com/tether/drivers and is LGMobileDriver_S498xxx and that didn’t work.
In short, what do I do to get this to work? I’m at a bit of a loss. It should be easy.
Thanks.

Hi All,
First of all Wirless Tethering, I have One click Rooted my epic, and installed the wifi tether app but am not able to transmit signal (other devices cannot detect my wifi transition). In other words it’s not working. Do I have to install a specific kernel for this to work? and if so where would I get it?
Secondly, CyanogenMod and Froyo. Are they available for the Epic yet?, where, if not when?
Finally, Rooting, is there any way to tell that my device is perm-rooted? I want to make sure the rooting was successful even though it should be because my phone restarted like the directions said it would.
Thanks Much, p.s. I just left apple/att for epic/sprint so I don’t know all the terminology, please explain in detail Thanks!!
No cyangen mod 6 yet, or any roms yet, however roms will be coming real soon.
As for checking root try using an app that requires root like titanium backup.
For wifi tether, what version are u using?
Sent from my Epic 4G
for the Tether im using 2.0.5-pre8 istalled via tAttachAPkInstaller. I found this in the forums and people claimed to have success with it. The tether app in the marketplace said it needed a special kernel for it to work, any idea on where to get that and how to install new kernels?
To check root just type "su" in terminal and you should get "#" prompt.

Ur using the right wifi tether app, I use the same and it works fine for me. Idk why its not working for u.

Wifitether is probably working, it only broadcasts AD_HOC mode, which a lot of devices won't pick up. Make sure your Wifi drivers are updated and you are using a computer (not a p2p or DS).
I checked the root by installing titanium backup and it wen smoothly, but this damn tether app is driving me craZY! i have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole proccess and nothing works.... when i first start the tether app the download goes from 0 to .4 kb and the upload goes from 0 to .1 and then bot go back to 0 and thats it...... no other phones or computers have been able to see my signal... anything in the settings might be messing me up?? maybe diff chann?? im currently broadcasting on Chan 11.... even when i use bluetooth to connect it said paired but not connected....WHAT IN THE HELL BOBBY !!!!! i needs some helps
I had the same problem with wifi tether until I updated the wifi drivers on my PC. In my case I could see the network "androidtether" but attempting to connect caused the NIC to timeout requiring a disable/enable to get going again.
Still waiting for someone to get wifi tether working in access point mode. That's one thing I'm really going to miss from my Evo when I switch tonight.
I know its not wifi, but the pdanet tether application has been working great for me on the Epic. Its in the marketplace and can be installed without root. It does USB/Bluetooth, but not wifi.
OK i tried the PDAnet app but i cant seem to pair a friends iphone 4 with my device... i turn on blue tooth then pair then turn on the app and try to connect/repair but it keeps saying "paired but not connected" any settings i have to mess with on this app or the iphone 4 to make this work?
Thanks much for the helps.

I don't think the iPhone's bluetooth supports bluetooth DUN profile, that's why it didn't connect. iPhone's wifi supports ad-hoc wifi though.
I rooted my Fascinate, mostly to be able to WiFi tether it for my laptop and the Kindle I'm getting soon.
I've tried WiFi Android Tether app, Barnacle, and Barnacle Legacy.
The Barnacle App would give me an error along the lines of "Can't find eth0", then Barnacle Legacy(previous version) app did not give me an error but the laptop will just say "Connecting" then never actually connect.
I have the same problem with the WiFi Android Tether App where it keeps "Connecting" but never connects.
I don't think it is my laptop because I never have a problem connecting to any other WiFi...
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any help!!

Almost sounds like you're not fully rooted. Do you see the Superuser app in your app list? Also, did these apps ever prompt you to allow root access?

yes
yes to superuser app.
the ADB prog says i am rooted

Look in General forum and for confirmed working widow tether. I use widow tether daily on mine. Works great. Have a nice day

Ive tried that exact one, computer wont connect.ive even tried pre12
I've tried quite a few different apps to no avail, but tried pre9 tonight and it appears to be working nicely.
I must be missing something, cause I'm a noob, but what is widow tether & where can I get it? Tried 2 barnacles & 3 wifi tethers with no success.

You need to use the wireless tether 2.0.5 pre9, not the latest version.
That one works 100%.
Newest ones don't. This is already covered somewhere in the stickies.

i am using Pre9. Thats the one I was originally using when the problem occured.
I'm using wireless tether pre11 right not and so far so good. I kept getting an issue where wireless tether would work for a short time (about 1 to 2 MB of data) and then would hang. pre11 is working good so far without this issue. give it s shot. you can always drop back to an older version.
I'm having the same problem, my Vista laptop sees the network and won't connect, my wife's Windows 7 netbook will connect now problem, so I know the phone is working right, it has to be something with Vista 64

I've had no problems with pre11...I've only used it a few times, but I did stream an entire episode on Hulu on my desktop and it worked without a hitch. I am on OSX.
FWIW, I happened to root & installl barnacle last night on my Fascinate. Barnacle worked happily once I made sure that A)Superuser automatically allows barnacle permissions and B) Skip wpa_supplicant was checked. I've only had an hour or two of testing, but no glitches.
Info: SCH-I500[RKAVZW] - i500.04, 2.1-update1, 2.6.29
Barnacle: Encryption: Off Access Control: unchecked, Ch:1 Custom Wifi Ad-hoc: none, Skip wpa_supplicant: checked, pp0, eth0, DHCP: 1200s lease, NAT 32000, 300, 100, 30, 90
I use Easy Tether and it works flawlessly.
Not sure exactly what is going on with your issue...however FWIW:
Any build of Wireless Tether would cut out on me occasionally - it wouldn't drop connection permanently, but rather for several seconds.
I use tethering to play online games that require a constant stream of data. Barnacle Wifi Tether Legacy works flawlessly. Never lose connection.
Are we looking at a fluke kernel issue with the OP's question?
I have tried all of these options and can't get any to work. The only thing that does is the stock hotspot app I reprogrammed from a thread here. How are you getting this to work? Do I need to remove the vzw hotspot app first?

Barnacle (did not try legacy) is also more stable for me than wireless tether pre9/11/12
Everything else works great for me in this build. No color change, no battery discharge.....The only issue i have with this build is that i cannot connect any other device with Wireless Tethering, or USB Tethering. 2.3.2 worked fine for me with either but today i tested and tried to connect and was unsucessful with both. How is everything holding up for you guys? If you had the problem how did you solve it. Thanks.

Testing now. Will report back in just a moment.
Okay, so I was able to get USB tethering to work immediately (surprisingly my Google Cr-48 didn't need any configuration) but I'm having a little trouble with WiFi tether. I'm going to test a few more things and then get back to you (just FYI this was posted via USB tethering!)
And got it figured out. Apparently just had no data connection where I was sitting. Odd. So again I was able to get it to find the network and am posting this edit from the wireless hotspot. (Its slow because I'm on edge but w/e)
And one last update: I was able to get wireless tether to work first try on my MacBook Pro however when I tried USB tethering, it was a different story. I plugged in the phone, turned on USB tethering and watched it cycle on then immediately off. I can't seem to figure out how to get this to change and my wife probably won't let me do much more testing on it since I have my Cr-48 to play around on lol

Interesting. It sounds like your USB tethering issue is similar to the one I was having on Mac OSX (see edited post above) but not quite the same since I did not get an error, it merely turned off. I wish I knew more about tethering but this is the first phone I've ever gotten it to work successfully at all so I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to troubleshooting.
Just for posterity though you should identify what operating system your computer is running so we can figure out if this is a Mac issue or if it applies to Windows as well. Also, just to make sure, your signature says you're running 2.3.3 stock, is that correct? (I ask because my signature is not accurate; it says I'm on CM7rc1 which is not true: I'm on stock 2.3.3 with Netarchy's 1.2.5 CFS kernel)
I'm on vista right now. And my signature is accurate

Okay, later tonight or tomorrow I'll test wireless and USB tethering on my Win7 partition.
Alright, I was able to test Windows 7 and here is what happened. I had a lot of issues at first getting it to work. It got stuck on identifying and I had to reboot my phone to get it to actually recognize the network. I did however eventually get it to work for both hotspot and USB tether. Also, I had a similar issue for the USB tether that I was having on MacOSX but it was solved when Windows unsuccessfully installed the drivers (you know the popup it gives when you plug it in). Which I find odd because until it FAILED the option would say "Connecting", "Connected" then "Disconnected".
Interestingly enough I randomly decided to test it on my Cr-48 again and no longer am able to get USB tethering to work. It connects but is unable to actually get internet. Odd.
No problems at all. Tested the hotspot on a Windows 7 machine as well as one running XP. Upgraded to 2.3.3 the manual route. Cheers!
it won't really affect me none because I barely use it. Just tested it to see if it worked. I also noticed that some of my albums are split in two. These are the only two problems I am having.

I am using an Evo 4g rooted with CM7. I use the wireless tether to browse the internet and whatnot. Now it was working just fine yesterday, but today for some reason its a pain in the ass getting a page to come up. My data seems fine on the phone, not slowed down anymore than usual. I continually get "Server not found" errors. The only page I can load with any consistency seems to be Facebook (85% of the time) and Bing (loads everytime) I tried accessing Google Voice and it only works maybe one out of ten loads. Everything in device is working fine and nothing has been changed. The only repair error windows has given me is the "windows can't find the usual server microsoft.com" thing and that was once.
I couldn't find anything searching that was really relevant... anyone have this happen?
I've also reset both the phone and laptop pulling batteries in both. Reset my data connection... reset my wireless card.
This sucks.

Wifi didnt work for me on my laptop with CM7. it could not connect at all, but it could connect to everything else(kindle, psp, xbox) and no body seems to know how to solve the issue. AOSP builds can be unstable apparently so I chose to stick to optimized Evo-Sense ROMs and their stability, wifi tether etc works fine on these.
Its a problem in the way the aosp roms are built. Sense works fine tho. Are you using the wireless tether app or using the tether baked into the rom? Because if your using the app then there is a fix for it. You will have to give me a second to find the thread tho as I am on my evo...

Weird, this has been happening to me today as well. WORKED PERFECTLY yesterday, data & everything is fine on the phone, but tethering has issues.
Just found an awesome APP in the market called Pdanet Tablet you install it on your phone then on your tablet and use bluetooth to get internet to your tablet via your android phone!!!!
It works pretty well on my Epic to my Transformer!
No Root needed (This will be for those of us who have not hacked our phones to send off Wifi already.)
Not working on my tab :\
Edit: I fixed it. reboot helped.
Awesome find, thanks! It's not quite working consistently for me, but I was hoping the PdaNet dev would make a version just like this. I'm sure he'll get it working reliably soon enough...
tethering off my nexus s, 2.3 hotspot w00t.
Anyone get this to work on Droid X, 2.3?
An update: after I installed this app, my TF Internet connectivity was completely hosed. It might be coincidental, although I doubt it. Essentially, I lost the ability to connect to a number of services via wifi, even after I uninstalled the app. Couldn't connect to Google properties, Tapatalk couldn't connect, etc. Absolutely miserable.
Only way to fix it was to do a factory reset. Multiple reboots and reconfigs of wifi settings did nothing.
Moral: be careful with this app.

I have not installed it yet in my tablet.
But I just read it from the market and they said you should remove the proxy setting after using it, otherwise the internet will not work anymore.
Not sure if they meant you will have to remove the proxy setting everytime you finished using it. That will be a hassle if we need to switch between wifi and BT every time.
works for me bluetooth tethering to my Droid Incredible. Havent tried it longer than 30 mins so I havent experienced any disconnects yet.
You do have to reset the proxy every time you use the app (set it to use it, disable it when your done). If you dont, wifi wont connect anymore (at least for me).
It is a little bit of a hassle, but i can live with it. At least the app gives you a shortcut to quickly change the setting.

Not sure why you need an app. I wifi tether with my Nexus S and it works fine. Just have 2gb package from ATT. They don't seem to care.
I got it installed, and everything went smoothly except I have no internet access via browser, or gmail.
Otherwise, this looks like a good app, easy to use.
I tried this PDANet for Tablet. The first beta release was buggy and there was a lot of disconnects with some debugging prompts.
Then I saw they updated it several days ago.
After updating it, its still not a smooth experience.
Got it connected to the phone, launch the browser and I could browse the web, but after 2-3 web pages, then it will stop working.
Email does not seem to work for me. Both GMail client and the native Email client, none works for me. Google Map seems to work.
But again, the connection dropped very frequently.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for the TF101 when the phone you want to tether to is not an android device. I am still using my trusty HTC HD2, and it's WiFi hotspot is "ad hoc" and not seen by the TF, and its bluetooth creates a PAN, and rudely tells me that the TF needs a NAP.
Maybe I can use the "windows mobile version of PdaNet on the phone with the android tablet PdaNet client on the TF??
Wifi hot spot on G2x works perfect and I get 4g speed will post screen shot when I figure out how..
