For the last month ive been having trouble with WIFI Tether. When my devices connect to it, they say they have limited connection. I email the app owner and he says I have to change the APN Protocol in IPv4. Ive tried that. When I click on IPv4 it doesnt do anything. Its greyed out, so clicking on it, isnt an option. He doesnt seem to understand this. And by the way, im stock rooted.
The only thing that fixes this problem is to re root my phone. This last time it only worked for 1 week. It was working sunday last time I used it, went to use it today and it wouldnt work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there another WIFI tether program that someone can recommend?

You can use FoxFi. Pretty simple, and free.

I don't think so. I don't usually tether, but I'm pretty sure I've used it over WiFi before.
I've been using FoxFi for a long time. Works great with wifi.

I run stock rooted and use Xposed with Moto Tether. Never had any issues at all, I watch tv at night via my slingbox at home. On the road all week.

Every time I use wired tether app , W7 always create new network.
And it will prompt me to select public/work/home network type.
This behavior doesn't happen with Wifi Tether.
Anyone know is this normal or it's just me ?

It's doing it on my Samsung Captivate too. VERY annoying. It takes longer before the internet is useable when it creates a new one instead of using an existing network profile.
I'm seeing it too but I'm using wifi tethering. Doesn't bother me too much, but it'd be nice if it was fixed some day

I do not THINK Barnacle is compatible with the Kernel in the Sense ROM, that they are using.
Try using the Google Code Wifi application. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_6.apk&can=2&q=
That one should work fairly well for you.
Never posted anything that made it into someones signature before. Thats awesome.
I've used all 3 "Stock", Barnacle and the Google.Code one and they all 3 worked fine. I have stuck with the stock one (TMO not charging me for it either) because I prefer the UI for it and it connects first try every time for me. activate app, power up netbook and by the time my netbook is done powering up it has already connected itself to my phone a ready to go for a romp on the inter-web. I have been using it since day I got the phone and haven't received the text telling me I had to add tethering to my account... but then I never get anywhere near the 5GB "cap", my heaviest month was 1.51GB

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?
Looking for a way to USB tether my Iconia tablet through my android phone..
before anyone gives me the "just use wifi" speech.. I cant due to where I work.. absolutely ZERO wifi allowed.. they have wifi sniffers. 3G is fine.. sooo need a way to tether via USB.
Both my devices are rooted.
I would love this as well. Could always use bluetooth dun though right?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
nope.. BT freq's are monitored too.. can really only use USB.
I just can't understand why this is such an obstacle.. figure something like this would be easy to do.
Very interested in finding a way to do this as well.
I haven't test it, but in the Thor ROM 14.2 there is under "Tethering & Mobil Hotspot" > USB-Tethering. Maybe you try that ROM.
Tried this with my DROIDX and the built in 3G hotspot app which has a USB tethering option. No go.
Pdanet is my usb tetherer of choice. Right now I don't think it's supported but they may get that together and it seems something more feasible as android becomes a legit OS.
pda-net
Search the market for this app.its what your looking for and I can confirm it does work and works well.there is a thread about it on here somewhere.
Out curiosity why not allowed to use wifi or Bluetooth.

Because where I work people are retards and paranoid..

I did find this page..
http://www.shadowsplace.net/923/android/tether-android-phone-desire-to-android-tablet-iconia-a500-via-usb-cable/
I tried it and unfortunatly it doesnt seem to work with whatever kernel Taboonay changed to when I loaded that ROM. Guess my only option right now is to do some trial and error on diffent kernels until I find one that works..
Maybe some help here...

Actually, PdaNet does have a beta version for tablets...

Unfortunately for you it is only through bluetooth.

I'm assuming you read this thread:
[Q] USB Tethering between A500 and Android phone
which leads to your quoted link. In that thread he specifically mentions the kernel which worked (Only thing needed (tested with 2.3 version of this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1170319):)
Sorry if you've already seen that and still no luck...
KICK ASS!! that kernel worked!!
I'm in airplane mode and able to surf the internet. only thing im seeing is that the box will pop up saying that there is no internet connection, but I just hit OK and it goes to whatever page I typed in.
Thanks again..

Glad that worked... I may be trying the same thing very soon.
I wish PDAnet would soften up and just do stuff for root. Their iphone app is only available to jailbreakers so you'd they wouldn't be so up tight.
Well after a few days of using tether this way.. Ive figured out that most apps wont recognize USB tethering.. I cant get Google Talk to sign in. Google Market seams to work fine though. Seems like some things will tell you that there is no internet connection but still work.. some just wont.
hey guys this is my first posting so be gentle...
i just wanna share something that might help people that has problems with tethering...
i have a rooted motorola photon 4g and i use it to tether wifi on my asus tf101 because i dont have internet at home... but after ICS ROMS came out, i usually switched roms coz i couldnt tether my wifi...i was using the regular wifi tether in the market at that time... but every time i try to connect to my tether i couldnt, it just says SAVED...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi... ....then after lots and lots of reading and trying to solve my problem i saw an app that works great but its a little bit tricky coz you wont find it in the market that instant...
.... you only need to install this on the phone your gonna use for tethering...
.... for sprint carriers it is blocked on the market but here are the steps to get it....
... for other carriers just search for FOXFI (blue colored wifi tether app)
---------------- OR YOU COULD JUST GO TO FOXFI WEBSITE http://foxfi.com/bin THANKS TO dca09 FOR THE INFO ------------
what i did and you should do is....
1. on your phone go to the market and search for PDANET TABLET...
2. click PDANET TABLET and scroll down up to DEVELOPER
3. click VISIT WEBPAGE (then the browser would open)
4. scroll down and click DOWNLOAD VERSION 3.50
5. after download is done open PDANET and click WIFI TETHER MODE then you will be prompted to install FOXFI
6. install FOXFI and enjoy
- you could even create a wpa2 password for your own protection on this app -
- you could use either WIFI TETHER or BLUETOOTH TETHER -
did anyone already tried what i did? please let me know if it worked for you and what ROM are you using on your tf101
Pdanet Works, but I really prefer native tether that exists in Cm9 and AOKP. Never had an issue with it.
yeah me too...
yeah i liked that too... but did u installed and used foxfi tether??the blue one? i think its better coz i tried it on every rom
I was/will be there for you
FYI
Just to let you know that you can also use your browser to go to the FOXFI web site and download it from there (http://foxfi.com/bin). You'll have to enable install "Unknown sources" to install the .apk file.
It's a little easier and you'll have the .apk file for backup.
I use Wifi Tether for Root on my phone to tether to my transformer. I've never had need to go the other way since my tf101 is wifi only.
thanks man hehehe

I agree. Native tethering with on/off button on power widget in notification tray. Once network is saved, all it takes is one toggle of the button and boom, you are connected.

I just got my tf101 and so far haven't been able to connect wifi or blue tooth to my htc evo.
I can find it and it shows up as a paired device but I can't connect to it.
I installed the pda net and the foxfi and it appears to be working, but still can't get a signal or a menu/connection to my phone.
Any ideas?

what rom are you using?
"i just ...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi."
How do you make the change to wpasupplicant2?
Damn....i was hoping the suplicant2 method would fix the adhoc issue in ics...i just picked up this tablet and havnt been able to get it tethered yet ....i have a tmobile vibrant rooted on froyo rom ... and still no dice.... even foxfi doesnt. So why would the suplicant2 tweak not work with your jobs wifi?...
Starting to look like i should downgrade to hc.... i really dont feel like messing with my phone with different roms...would rather tinker on the transformer
the app says it doesnt work with htc phones as they build some kind of security into it. and some moto phones wont work....
i also have a droid x and it works just not reliably.

thats because you need to undo what you did to the wpasupplicant2 in able to connect to normal wifi..thats my problem before...try FOXFI it wont mess up your wpasupplicant1 and 2 so you wouldnt bother to change anything..just reflash the rom you are using then use FOXFI..

if your using an htc phone thereis a lot of tethering apps out there that you could use.. or if you want to.. you could use PDANET for tethering via bluetooth or usb...
