Hey all,
Just rooted my Evo 2.2 with Unrevoked...installed Wireless Tether APK...when I click the app it comes up and I gave it superuser permissions...it will start tethering...when I try to connect to it with a laptop it can't identify network...and won't let me get on the internet...
is there something or some settings I need to change on the evo the laptops can connect? I see AndroidTether but it just keeps spinning and won't connect...THANK YOU!
In the Wireless Tether settings try changing the channel to one and see what happens. This fixed all my connectivity problems.
Didn't fix it yikes...the phone log doesn't even show things connecting...are you on 2.2 froyo?
Did you download it from the market? I've had trouble getting it to work that way. Try going to the developers website (link in market) and downloading the latest beta. That's always fixed my problems.

Using pre7 worked thanks
i have a droid incedible that is rooted but literally nothing is working as far as wireless tethering goes. i have tried wireless tether for root users and barnacle. Both broadcast the network but fail to connect me too them and provide internet. suggestions?
Have you tried the hot spot fix?

Yeah I've been unable to get tethering to work on my phone as well. The ##778 does nothing on my phone, perhaps they changed it in the newest ota update?

I noticed a problem with this the other day as well. My wireless tether (non-rooted) wasn't (and still isn't) working either. At first I couldn't get the ##778 to work, but I just did a soft reset and it at least accepted the ##778 command again.
Tether still doesn't work, though (argh).
same here, did the ##778 thing and i still have tethering issues even with the official app
A solution that worked for me was to create a folder in the root of the SD card named "android.tether" and place this file inside

(not allowed to post external links yet I guess, just google fw_bcm4329.bin and you'll find a modaco thread about it as the first result or if anyone can't find it I'll gladly send them a link via PM)
Once done uninstall wireless tether and reinstall it. After doing this I finally got the notification that clients were connecting to my phone, which I never got before and subsequently it didn't work.
Hope this helps
Some months ago I rooted my dad's dInc using the "unrevoked" tool, and I set him up with the Wireless Tethering app. Everything worked.
He tried to use it this past weekend for the first time in a while and it's no longer working. I tried Barnacle, and I have the same issue.
The network shows up, and a laptop can connect to it, but it says "no internet access", and it looks like it doesn't get an IP either.
The Wireless Tethering app never notifies that someone has connected either. Weird stuff...
I'm thinking one of the updates that HTC pushed to the phone broke something. Anyone have any suggestions?
Is it the newest version?

edit: Seems like I had to uninstall and reinstall newest version and now it's working =\. Fixed. Thanks..
I was having signal go in and out at work all day yesterday, and it turns out Sprint was replacing a bunch of hardware in my area (Atlanta). Now, I cannot get wifi tether to work. My computer will connect, but it will not get internet. Wired tether works fine. I've tried the Sprint Hotspot in Calkulin's 3.0, and also the Hotspot in the ICS Goodness. I've also tried Open Garden, Wifi Tether for Root, and Fox__* (I can't remember the exact name).
It will not connect. Tried different roms, 3g/4g, resetting network ##72382# or whatever that code is, did a complete reset, tried different roms, etc.
The only thing I can conclude is that whatever Sprint updated here locally fixed this loophole for the hacked hotspot. Atlanta is an "A" market, and typically one of the first to get updated, so if this is the case, maybe nobody else is seeing it
Any ideas on what else I can try?? I need this wifi tether desperately.
have you tried foxfi?

I am not a dev, nor do I know a lot about anything. I seriously doubt changing tower hardware would "fix" a software workaround in a phone for internet sharing. I don't have an answer as to why or why not, but it sounds highly unlikely. I am speculating the two are not related.

Had this same problem about a year or so ago. Download "Root Checker" from Google Play. I forgot why but sometimes Root will be lost but your phone will say you are rooted. I don't remember the details. All you have to do is Root again if this is the case.
Try going into superuser app and updating the su binary, when mine get outdated sometimes wifi tether quits working but other root apps will still work.

Yes, no go on that one as well. No matter the program, I get the issue with my computer "unable to connect" on Windows 7, and also limited/no connectivity with Windows XP..
How can I generate a log to find out what's going on? I'm starting to get the feeling it has something to do w/ wifi driver, although wifi works fine, 4g works fine, 3g works, and wired tether works fine, I cannot get wireless tether to work with 3g or 4g..
Tried Sprint Hotspot, Wireless Tether (for root), Open Garden, Foxfi..

I agree, however, I'm assuming there's also an upgrade in software to go along with hardware changes, and they may have rolled something out at the same time. It could be a coincidence, but I've never had a problem before.

Ok, this is interesting. Do you all know if Wifi tether has always been ad hoc? I thought it used to show up as an AP in Windows.
Also, once I updated SU, my XP would connect to Wifi Tether only, but then tried the Win 7 and gave me the same "unable to connect" box. Now, neither of them work again.
Ideas? How to log, etc?
Do you all know now LAN settings would affect connectivity?
It seems Wired Tether uses 172.20.xx.xxx/30 while I believe the others were using 192.168.2.0 or 192.168.1.1, etc.
I'm in the Atlanta area (North West - Kennesaw/Acworth). I use WiFi Tether (the open source app not the built in), just tested it, I was able to connect and use the internet from my Nexus 7.

Foxfi is broken on the SE4GT since the ICS update.
Installation instructions (for Sprint Users):
1. Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked in phone Settings (under Applications or Developer).
2. Tap on the following links to download the apk file for FoxFi.
3. From phone notifications select the downloaded file. This will install FoxFi.
FoxFi latest version: 1.91.3
*Support for the new Galaxy S3 and the new ICS update for Epic Touch are being worked on. Should be compatible soon in a future update.

I see people struggling with the all over this site
This works ,,NP at all

As far as I know, the built in sprint hotspot is the only way to get infrastructure mode. All others are adhoc. If there is a setting for it for a profile, I think I remember reading somewhere to pick the galaxy nexus profile.
I just tried Wifi Tether in netd mode and it worked as Infrastructure. Client was Win7 x64.
Good to know too that I have a backup internet source if the main goes out. Not great but better than nothing.
I know it's not wifi tethering, but hey this is a bandaid for me. Clockwork Mod Tether works perfect, regardless of if the play store says it's compatible.

Go nuts.
Have not tried the USB to PC side yet, but Easy Tether works for Bluetooth to my HP Touch pad running CM9. Used this on previous phones also but haven't had time to try on PC yet.
Sweet! Going to try this one later for sure!

I have to wait till I get home but there is an app in the play store called EasyTether and it will do usb tethering and bluetooth tethering to android tablets. I will try it when I get home.

I think I tried that one and got the usual error (in stock form). Give it a whirl and let us know though. I just started going down the list installing a bunch of tethering apps until I found one or a few that worked.
is this still working for you guys? reviews seems mixed on the play store
Mine connect and works fine.... But then it will randomly disconnect and I have to reconnect again.
Not sure what is going on. Did this with this and a separate usb tethering app.

Has anybody using this installed the ZV8 update on their phone?
If so any effect on USB tethering or still working as before?

I'm going to answer my own question and confirm that it still works post-update. I switched over to using the Wifi/USB Tether hack for a while, but am now back to using CWM Tether. In strong signal areas the hack works fantastic, but I find that out in the country with one bar it's very iffy. Perhaps this is an issue of the phone going in and out of data service and the connection not being restored gracefully when that happens? Whatever the case, CWM doesn't seem to have this same problem and maintains a fairly continuous connection without me having to restart my phone repeatedly.
