I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?
Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.
same here
I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon
I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.
first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.
second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.
im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -
maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?
does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?
this is in wrong section but I used version 2_0_5-pre4 and it works fine. right now on Stock Froyo rooted but switching to Fresh 3.0 beta 2 in a few min
cyanogenmod's rom has working tethering. doesn't have 4g or sense, but wifi tether works, as does everything else.
werid
weird, still not working for me, I am going back to 2.1 OMJ for now, I need my free 4G WIFI TETHER DEVS!
I don't really care about tethering, but can you get any of the fps "fixed" kernels to work on any of the 2.2 roms?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.
Need some time?
The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out.
Oh,

Didn't try that but does that work with 4G too? (if you didn't sign up for 4G?)

Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.
Thanks.

Me too.. yes sir.. it no work
he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.
Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.
i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time . Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.
Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?

the wired tether by the same people doesn't work now i get unsupported kernel
Hello, I'm new hear but im coming from IPHONE and just love the evo 4g, I rooted my evo and it seems to be working and everthing.. but i can't get sprint wifi hotspot working for some reason, it would help if someone could help me in the right direction..
Thank YOU... I'm using ava_froyo_v5
Don't hate me for using this one..
One quick note when i start sprint wifi hotspot it says user id and pass dosen't match.. do i need to use a different program or what..
I'm currently on Fresh 1.0.1 but I've tried Fresh 3.1.0.1 and Cyanmod6 RC-1 with and without nightly updates.
I've tried various combination of kernels too. That said, I've been unable to get wifi tethering to work 100% on any of them as well as wired.
1.0.1 was the only one I could constantly get EVERYTHING working on so I went back.
Not that this post really helps, just saying.
You have to pay to use sprints tether app.
Go use android wireless tether from the market.

Amazing Program https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwNzM2ODk
I'm using a rooted copy of 3.70 ROM and am stumped as to how to get tethering working right. It will work, slowly, with 4G but when connected with 3G it will not allow internet access. Does anyone know what I am missing or maybe point me in the right direction? The only fix I could find was downgrading back to 2.29 and with an older kernel. :\
I've tried older version of wireless tether, barnacle, etc, all with the same results.
Bump......
So no one on this site knows what is needed for tethering to work properly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Hey haus. 3G is working for me. I tether with both often.
Seeing as you tried with older versions, maybe it could be the kernel you are using.
What kernel/rom are you using? I'll try to see if I can replicate the results.
Also as I'm sure you know, texts/phone will disrupt 3G so if you get a text in the middle of your tether, it will disable 3G.
Well I just found something very interesting...
I tethered today and found my connection to be extremely slow for some reason (3G). I went to speedtest.net and it said the closest test server to me was in the UK....
I'm not sure why it's doing that considering I'm in NY but thats rather fishy. I'll do some more testing and let you know.
BTW I'm using the stock #15 kernel and Myn's Warm 2.2

This happens to me all the time in Cincinnati, OH on 4G. It thinks I am in Whales or some random place. I get good speed results but it is weird.
As for the OP, wireless tether doesn't work well in all roms. There are even some roms where it doesn't work with 4G at all...

Almost all the ROMs I have flashed had wireless tether working for both 3G and 4G. It just took a bit to find the right build version to use lol. Pain in the ass I swear. -.-

Well I was more thinking of the CM6 w/ WiMax. I still don't think it supports tether on 4G.

I used the alpha 2 for quite a while (upgraded to the CM7 WiMAX one today) and I used the pre9 version of wireless tether on both 3G and 4G all the time without problems.

Well CM6 had no 4G for a bit. The Alpha for WIMAX for CM just came out and thats still in its infancy so I doubt tethering works at all let alone for 4G. Not too sure on this since I don't flash CM cause I use 4G a lot.
Edit: I stand corrected. lol Maybe I'll try CM.
I have similar problem as the OP of this thread. I am using MikFroyo 4.5 with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs_SBC_Havs_more kernel, wireless tethering works fine in 4G but with 3G, my laptop connects to the EVO but there is no Internet access. It seem as if either the EVO is forwarding the traffic or the DNS on EVO is not resolving names.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks
I've had problems with wireless tether lately, but I started using the wireless hotspot that comes included in my rom. Currently using CM7 Nightlies and CM7 with WiMax.
I've read a couple of people say they can connect to the internet for a couple of seconds and then there's no/limited access. Has anyone figured how to get by this? My hacked hotspot works, but I've tethered 4g on 4.4, and I prefer the wireless tether app.
Try different builds.
Try a different build of the app, an earlier one. Also, the laptop normally goes through the "limited access/no connection" for about a minute cuz it has to connect, but then it works fine.
Yeah, I actually went back to 4.4 after getting mad that my app wasn't working, I should've mentioned that I tried previous builds of the app, but it was a no go. I like 4.5 over 4.4 since it's faster and the 4g connections are better, but if I can't wifi it...well it defeats the purpose. I rather be on 4.5, so does anyone have a fix?

i would address this in Mik's thread.
I was able to get wired, wireless, and the wireless hot spot (sprint) working on Mik v4.5, but only in 4G. I couldn't get any working while on 3G. I used the latest version of each. I didn't do anything special to get them to work. But because I wasn't able to get 3G working this weekend I backed it out.
No flashing new ROMs for me for a couple weeks, on call .
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.

Thanks, that version is working great for me now!
Yes I used the Search feature, still no satisfactory resoultion...
I have rooted several phones over the past few weeks (with different bootloaders), Evo 4Gs, one tethers, one doesn't, Droid RAZRs, both tether, Droid 3s, neither tether (I read the TBH thread, so...), E4GT neither tether (mine included but am running Phantom's Rom so no worries there).
I am at my wits end. The apk(s) used to work before, but as of late I am not having any success at all. Android Tether lists in my networks, my pc and laptop will connect, internet access is detected, they connect but NONE of my browsers are able to connect.
I never had this problem, never had to change any settings in the apk(s), and never had to change my pc(s) configuration. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know what is going on?
HELP ME OBI-WAN KENOBI!
Try FoxFi, free at Google Play. I had issues tethering E4GT. This app works great for Samsung & Motorola. All others, maybe Bluetooth.

Wifi Tether (Im using 3.1 beta11 pulled from Calk's ICS roms) works if you change the device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)". I always enable the access control and allow the pc accessing.
The hacked sprint hotspot has always worked for me on gingerbread as well i prefer it but use the other atm on ICS.
Wifi Tether wont work properly until you change it to thet CDMA/LTE Nexus it gives the same issue you describe without the change.

Ok but what are you running ICS or GB because there is an answer to both.... If you are rooted the stock wifi tether works fine so can we have a little more info although the answers you have gotten so far a pretty damn good.
Thanks
I switched to my Nexus S 4G to give the ICS ROMS a spin and really loved it but missed my E4GT so I recently switched back. I am currently on Phantom's EL26 (Gingerbread) from way back when. I found that the EL 26 modem gives me the best battery life by far and I like the debloated stock because I am running SPB SHELL 3D launcher (cracked-pm me).
I have so many Google Wifi Tether apks on my pc and dug up the wifi_tether_v3_1-pre101.apk and changed the channel to 6. It works now.
The Sprint Hotspot comes fully functional on the ROM that I am on but it was really bugging me that I couldn't get the google wifi tether to work on friends' and family's phones. There must be a bug in the newest release or something.
FIFOX said that HTC has a block on wifi tether when I tried to install it on my friend's Evo 4G.
I am going to use the TBH thread to change the radio strings on my friend's Droid 3 so he can tether. We'll see how that goes later today.
-worked like a charm; rewrote the strings with RadioCom and changed the entitleent with sqlite editor, using the most recent google wifi tether apk on chanel 6.
Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna hit the thanks button for you all.
PEACE!
Asked in the official thread on the development forums, but so far no replies after several days. I am wanting to get some form of tether working on this ROM, but so far nothing works. From trying the built-in tethering function to using Android-Wifi-Tether, nothing is working. I know there are some tether issues with JB ROMs on this phone, but usually they are easy to overcome with a patch from the ROM devs themselves.
Has anyone gotten tether to work on this specific ROM, and how did you go about doing it.
Thanks

I used to use CM 10.1. I dont think I ever went to 10.1.2 but I dont think it makes a difference. I just remember going to 10.2. But every CM ROM I was on, the native tethering worked fine for me. I'm on Verizon though. I dont know if that makes a difference either.
EDIT: Saw you were on Verizon. It should work unless I'm forgetting something
So far I have tried CM 10.2 nightly 9/15 and 9/17 and the 10.1.2 stable release and the native tethering doesn't work on any of them. I can connect using it, but the connection is limited and no data is transferred at all. I was using a custom ROM from MWalt and I had to use his native tethering patch to get it to work on JB roms.

I dont know whats going on with your phone then. I've never had an issue with tethering and I've never used a patch. What are you trying to tether to? Some devices may have issues with the type of signal the Galaxy Nexus puts out. For example, there is a thread around here about tethering issues with the Xbox.
Have tried my laptop, a tablet and a 3DS. None of them work. I can see the network and connect, but no data is ever transferred. On ICS roms I didn't have to do anything to get tether to work right out of the box. But starting with JB, I have had to use either patches or workarounds to get the native tethering to work on any ROM I try.

Sorry man. I have no idea whats wrong. The only thing I can recommend is maybe try flashing the stock image and see if it fixes anything. I know thats not what people want to hear. But unless someone else says they are having the same problem, it would seem to be only happening with your device. Another possibility, I guess, could be your radios. Did you flash any other radios on your device?
I am using this radio from 3/5. What radio are you using, and is it safe to back down to a prior one?

I'm pretty sure those are the ones I am using too. I wouldn't revert to older ones until someone with more experience says its ok. I dont want to say yes and have your phone break. I dont know what to tel you though. If you have the time, I'd say just start from scratch and see if it fixes it.
Start fresh as in going back to stock 4.2.2 or whatever the latest is? I tried that between flashing the different CM versions but with JB roms I have to apply a patch before native tethering works for some reason. I will try different radios when someone confirms you can back down to an earlier set without issue.

Alright. Sorry I couldnt be more help.
Your help is appreciated. At least I know that I can tether, just depends on if I want to move to certain ROMs or not. Hopefully I can get CM to tether as its one of the best running ROMs I have used for this phone.
The only time I had an issue tethering on CM is when I ran AK kernel. Stock cm kernel and Franco kernel always worked fine however. I'm not sure what the difference was....
