Hi I was just wondering what the best settings were for the WiFi tether app in my evo.

Have you actually gotten this to work? Are you using the one with the green wifi looking icon? I have gotten my laptop to connect, but not actually share the internet.
Ya i can connect but the internet is not working that's my problem also.

I read something, somewhere, that we may need to update or add a kernel. I'm not sure though.
I have had the same problem,all I done was download a different version of wifi tether,been working great

Thank you...not to be a pain, but once I download it to my computer, what do I do? I think it has something to do with pushing...but I am awful with loading things onto my phone.
If you Google wireless tether for Android from your phones browser,then click the downloads link for the project hosting on Google code,you can download straight to your phone.There are a bunch of different versions and not all will work with all kernels.After downloading,your phone will ask if you want to install.I'm using the pre8 version with netarchy's 4.1.8 kernel on fresh 3.1.0.1 and it works fine.

Anyone know what happened I switched from dj29 today I was running the hotspot all the time using it for wireless routing. Once I odined the dk17 modem(specifically the modem.bin) and quantum1.5 rom the hotspot no longer would activate without shutting off data. Any ideas why.

Anyone please help. Much better than adhoc wireless tether.

You might want to relax. You responded 3 hours after making the thread. You need people to have time to re create, test, and find a solution

Use Wireless Tether for Root Users from the market in the meantime. It's free and works good for me.
Ok mystery...have you seen anyone working on this issue at all thanks.

No and if someone was they would have posted something. Honestly this looks like an isolated problem. I suggest trying wireless tether like mentioned above or try reflashing the rom.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
i dont think this is an isolated problem, i have the same issue that the sprint hotspot shuts off data in the DK17 rom as many others do. I do believe in the Viper rom is has been fixed. hopefully someone will port that fix over to the other froyo roms we are using.
Thx iro

Are you talking about mobileAP or the hotspot app? I believe those are two separate things, someone correct me if I'm wrong. But if that's the case that maybe why people don't have an answer for you.

Not sure if this was resolved, but thought I would chime in since I had the same problem with Nebula ROM 1.0.6 (running DK17). I just got a Xoom wifi and was planning on being able to go full mobile via my Epic 4G but discovered that the Wifi hotspot isn't working on my ROM (I love everything else about it and wanted to keep it). Unfortunately the current version of wifi tether from the market failed also.
I downloaded this version of wifi tether, which supports Infrastructure Mode (the XOOM won't do Ad-Hoc yet, so I need this). Hope this helps someone...it works great for me with the new Xoom and Nebula ROM on DK17.

Has anyone been able to get the wireless tether for root users app to work with aosp? The stock tethering *works,* but has very limited functionality. I emailed the dev and he told me to try the latest version, available here. http://tinyurl.com/bj9lyv
This has a lot of new features including a profile for our device, but it still doesn't work for me.

what aosp are u using, i have all of them in the link in my sig and all the kernels. if you dl a wireless tether app on an aosp with built in free wifi tether then you will mess up the built in wifi tether and the app will not work or the built in will slow down. you would have to wipe everything and reflash it again. then try the built in wifi tether and it should work perfect. if you have any questions feel free to ask them in the link in my sig
The built in works, it just doesn't have the functionality of the wireless tether app. I really would like to have it working .. I haven't tried the above method actually, sorry haven't had time

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!
I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes
Thanks for confirming

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?
Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.
Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!
Sure it has something to do with post count.
Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

Not yet.
Work got real busy right after I made the post and I wasn't able to go through the apk's.
I have to go over to another house and do a few hours worth of work before I can really get in and mess with these.
It may be late this evening (for me) but I am still going to try and run through them.
Sorry about the delay.
I wasn't able to do anything with this until this morning.
I was unable to get any of the versions to work with JB.
Three different computers........three different os's, n one would see it.
Could possibly be that I am simply missing something.
Ver 1.81.3 wprks fine with the sprint version.

That is incorrect. On the newest wifi tether app in the market, you set it as Samsung galaxy s3 and it works great. On 3.1 beta 14, you have to select galaxy nexus cdma

FIRST thanks to TrevE > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
now how it works on the SPRINT NOTE 2
stock rooted w/ latest update PALJC
if not already then update Super-SU from the market
if not already then install busybox from the market *(open the busybox app and click install on lower left)
download the latest version of TrevE's wifi tether in the above link on the first post
open wifi tether, grant SU.....then turn on wifi tether as normal and it should be working.
edit: encryption now works with TrevE's 11-18 nightly found in above link
Thanks, I can confirm it's working on viper's test rom. I'm tethering my Transfomer Infinity, as I type this.
not works for me, says connection failed when trying to connect to the access point

WiFi tether works fine if you edit build.prop with for example ROM toolbox from market and edit it and add
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
Then save and reboot and built in WiFi tether should be working fine...
If your build.prop doesn't have that line to add then add it and you should have it working right...

Have you tried yet adding

I've been trying to get wifi tether working with no luck so far.
I tried adding the ro.ril.transmitpower=true
I tried downloading a beta build of the wifi tether app (3.2 pre2)
I tried it with mms clamping and routing fix on and off.
The best i can get is i see the hotspot show up on the available networks, but when i try to connect it either gets as far as getting an IP address and then just keeps re-trying that (the app shows a device connected) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't seem to get past authenticating.
Some of the combinations i tried the network doesn't even show up under the list of available networks.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to get the wifi tether working? I'm using a sprint evo 4lte, with the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
