where are the settings for wifi tether stored? i think i managed to make my ssid invalid characters and i cannot change the ssid unless wifi tether is active, and i get an error every time i try to turn on tethering.
i just want to delete the wifi settings, so that it will go back to default.
thank you
i have the same problem.

I am trying to connect to a wifi network that isnt broadcasted but cant. I dont see any option that allows me to do this.
Ideas? Options?
It's under wireless settings, wifi, add wifi network. Put in the ssid, security setting, and the password and you should be good to go.
wifi buddy makes everything a bit easier.
Has anyone figured out a reliable way to get wifi thether working?
If it's via Barnacle.. please share the settings that work for you
if it's the Wifi Tether app, please share which one and how you got it working.
I'm using Barnacle as we speak, and I actually just set it up ~5 minutes ago. I'm on CM6.1. I have the "skip wpa_supplicant" setting checked. When you click start to begin the tethering, you need to click "associate" then immediately (on your pc) search for and connect to the Ad-Hoc network that pops up.
It keeps telling me that my tethering has been started but with errors. Just installed the Salvage 1.1 mod and it works pretty good - but I really need the wireless tethering app. Of course before I installed this new ROM it worked but now it does not. What can I do to fix this??

Oh, and also the Portable Wi-FI hotspot option under my Wireless & Networks settings also says error
Wireless tether won't work with the gingerbread roms. You need to use barnacle tether or the native hotspot. And to fix your wifi, just reboot and it'll be fine. Anytime you run the wireless tether app it'll mess up your wifi, and you have to reboot to fix it.
I happily used wireless tethering on my rooted Desire, so figured it wouldn't be too different doing exactly the same with my new One X.
I originally tried to use the stock tethering option - new phone, new firmware. I wasn't surprised when it didn't work. So I waited until I had routed my phone to try the app I used on my Desire - Wireless Tether. It didn't work. So I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users (the update of Wireless Tether). And FoxFi. And ClockworkMod Tether. And WiFi HotSpot/WiFi Tether. And Barnacle Wifi Tether...
When I activate Wireless Tether (or WiFi Tether), it begins tethering "with errors, check log". I open the log and find it's failed: Setting ad-hoc mode, Setting essid, Setting channel and (if active) Activating encryption (iwconfig). The rest did not fail, but of course I can't see it in the network list due to the essid failing.
I can only assume the other apps encounter similar errors. FoxFi simply says "WiFi mode has failed on your phone. Please use Bluetooth mode instead.". When I try Bluetooth mode: "Fail to activate. Internet not detected.", although there is definite data up and down stream.
I'm connected to the 'EE' network, formerly Orange (they've changed names), though that didn't affect my Desire when I tried it last week, it still worked. I'm running Android Revolution HD 9.7.2. I've tried creating a new APN with the same settings, but that didn't change anything.

I tried the other day to wifi tether my hox and couldn't but my old legend could, which is weird. I did mange to get it working by turning auto connect off on laptop and manually inputting the key. I ended up using usb tether in the end though, but only due to phone needing charging
USB tethering doesn't connect either...
Ive searched the web and read about countless issues about lollipop wifi. but im looking for something specific which i cannot find elsewhere:
on KitKat when connecting to a hotspot (or any wifi for that matter) it would instantly connect to wifi and switch to that connection, regardless if the connection gave internet access or not.
on LP it seems to remain connected to mobile data and wifi does not give an IP address until a hotspot is logged in (using the sign in to wifi notification)
the problem is it doesnt always show, is there a way to switch the wifi policy to not perform a soft handover? or does this need to be baked into a rom?
I have an app that auto-logs into wifi hotspots for me, but because it does not get an IP address and apps are not able to use that connection, it does not work as intended.
FYI i am NOT talking about wifi to mobile data handover, its the other way around
