Tethering not working on G2? I just replaced my N1 with this G2, I asummed that I would be able to tether just fine after installing CM 6.1.1 but both wireless tether apk and barnacle say they are broadcasting but my pc doesn't even show it on the list of available networks.
If I use the stock tethering app my pc picks it up but can't use the internet, same thing with wired tether!
It isn't the kernal because I have tried the stock kernal, the cm kernel, and pershoot's kernel...any help would be appreciated!

Anyone? This is a pretty big deal for me

Native tethering on CM6.1.1 works fine for me... Try clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing the ROM
NOTE: It takes a minute or two for the PC to get a internet connection from the phone, if that helps...
Thanks for the response, the problem isn't that the pc isn't getting a data connection, the problem is that it isn't picking up the fact that there is a network available

There's an issue with tethering on Mac OS X if you are using USB tethering
I'm on a pc...and to be honest, I care more about wireless than wired... I tried wiping the cache through Clockwork and it is still a no go, I have also tried 2 different roms.
Assuming all steps were done correctly, could it have an a manufacturing defect? That you exchange for a new one under warranty?
So I just switched from myn 2.2 to the new cm7 rc2 and now when I try to use wireless tether it gives me an error saying "wireless tether started with errors please check show log" can Somone help me with this please. When I check the log it says everything failed.

Don't the CMs come with the Sprint hotspot already hacked and ready to use?

Try Barnacle Tether. It's free in the market.
From my experience, Wireless Tether only really works well with Sense roms and Barnacle only really works well with AOSP. I usually keep both just in case.
Also, if you want to, try uninstalling and re-installing Wireless Tether. This will force the program to re-config itself for use on that particular software. Could help, I don't know.
Okay thanks ill try that

You can use the native hotspot. if you use the wireless tether it says error, and you just need to reboot to fix it, don't use wireless tether; barnacle is okay though.
Just tried that (unloading Wireless tether and reverting to the 2.0.5 pre8 version and still get the following errors - all 'failed":
Activating WIFI interface
Setting ad hoc mode
setting essid
setting channel
I am using RC 7 (final)
the native app doesn't work either - didn't try barnacle yet
Thanks
Same thing happened to me a while ago

Did you reboot and try built in like roxxorz said? Wireless tether is not going to work at all.

I rebooted and the native ap now works
I also downloaded Barnacle and that works as well (with a mention on the upgrade notes about an EVO patch)

Does anybody know what version of the Wireless Tether for root users works with the rooted stock ROM for the Inc2? Tried the latest 3.1 beta (3.1b6) but it doesn't work.
try this
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
Im using the 2.0.7 wireless tether and does not work on my dinc 2, im running tsm_gingerbangsense_2 this is the message. Cannot communicate with DNS server (#########) Network diagnostic pinged the remote host but did not receive a response.
In the network and sharing center i can see this (this computer-Android tether-----x-----)
works fantastic on inc2HD
I found that Open Garden app works just great.
Not being able to communicate with the dns server means your phone can't connect to the internet, so there is nothing to rebroadcast via wifi. are you within a good signal area for 3g, and does your data work in other apps?

Hi OP.
Enable mss clamping and routing fix in settings on the newest beta. You will be up and running in seconds.
I noticed that using power savers may disable tethering. Uninstall those as well.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried multiple tethering apps and none of them work and last time I tried using open garden it broke my 3G and I had to revert to a backup. I'm running MIUI 10.7.
This may be a dumb question, but can root users use the 3g hotspot found in wireless settings for free? Or do I need to download another app.

All depends on the ROM. If you're running the stock ROM but just rooted you'll need another app. Some ROM developers hack the built in app.
I use wireless teather 2.0.7 its from google and have no problems

I've tried installing two different wireless tethers and neither one wants to work. I'm rooted with stock rom. Any ideas/suggestions?

You sure its not working?? Its a adhoc connection and most tablets wont pick that up. My desktop sometimes wont either but to fix that i have to switch my wifi on the desktop off and on then it sees the connection

which rom are you using? i had that problem before when i was trying wifi tether hack apps but i download a rom that actually had the hotspot hack which allow to use the sprint hotspot and that worked like a charm.
i also suggest you to try using ( Hotspot hack ) posting on the development section.
i hope that helped
Thanks guys. I'm using stock rom. When I had my evo, it worked like a charm.

I am having the same kind of problem; wifi tether does not work. I was on rooted stock rom, then Calkulin 1.5a. On the client side, I tried Ubuntu 11.10, Window XP, both detected the ad-hoc device, but just could not establish connection. I am using the hotspot hack, which work without issue.
I'm on add ROM with sprint hot spot and it works perfectly.

Exact same problem for me to. It work on my EVO and now I have a ET4G rooted. The wifi tether stable and beta do not work.
Any ideas?
Thre developer is aware and hopefully going to fix this for our phone.

" Infrastructure mode, unlike ad-hoc mode, allows multiple devices and devices that don't support ad-hoc mode to connect to the Wi-Fi access point spawned by the app, so it's definitely something we want. I've also asked about getting infrastructure mode on the*Epic Touch 4G, which uses a newer Broadcom chipset, to which Harald replied "we will see." Fingers crossed here."

I use wireless tether from the market and works great. I know on a past phone I had to create a folder on my SD card called android.tether with a bin file in it. I don't know if that is why mine works or not.

Try enabling encryption, access control, and routing fix. That's what worked for me... Also I used an older version... I think I'm running 3.1 beta7... Oh and try reinstalling the binaries.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
There are several quirks to it. One thing you might try is making sure the phone screen is on when trying to connect. On mine if it goes out before its connected, it won't work...

I never got this to work on rooted-Stock EL29, so I went to a custom ROM with a hack for wifi tethering (Calkulin's).
If you watch this video, he explains some of the differences and things you can do regarding wifi tethering.
http://youtu.be/u_bEWS517nc
The built in native Sprint hotspot app is the best, and a lot of custom ROM's include the hack for that which allows you to use that app for free. The is also a mod for it for those with a stock/rooted phone I believe.
