my evo 4g is fully rooted with superuser permissions, i allowed all settings, and wifi tethering seems to be fully functional on my phone, it is available on my list of wifi networks on my computer but it can only connect with limited connevtivity, if anyone has a solution i'd be grateful

I hope I am posting this correctly. If not please forgive me in advance. My Evo (3.7 update) is rooted with Unrevoked and all Superuser permissions are intact. All my "root required" apps work correctly. My problem is that tethering will not stay connected, wired or wirelessly. I can connect and have internet access for about 5 minutes, then I lose internet connectivity although the phone shows still app running. I did not flash any specific roms, only rooted the phone because I'm okay with everything else on the phone. I have tried pdanet, easy tether, barnacle wi fi tether, and plain wifi tether. I have tried tethering different devices and still can stay connected for no more than 5 minutes. I then have to close the tethering app and restart to get another 5 minutes. Did Sprint enable something in 3.7 update that's causing this? I never had this issue on my rooted Hero. And finally, I am not in a 4g area so I'm doing this all 3g. Can anyone please assist me. I was almost tempted to pay the 30 bucks until I came to my senses!
Took the leap 2 days ago and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch using Odin and the Zedomax v3 kernel. Root went fine and after a short minute I was rooted and installing Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro and Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Having (free) wifi tethering is a must for me as I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi version 32GB Grey) and need network access when out abroad and in the car. After installing the app from the market, I promptly opened it up and started tethering with all of the default settings (no encryption, ssid = AndroidTether, access control is disabled). The app shows that tethering is activated with no errors and broadcasting the signal. Now I switch to my SGT10.1 and open up network settings but there is no AndroidTether network seen. I refreshed multiple times and still nothing. So I grabbed a few other wifi devices (laptop, blackberry) and still, no AndroidTether network is seen.
I have checked the in-app Wireless Tether Log and there are no errors or failures. I have tried rebooting the SGSIIE4GT and still have same issues. I flashed back to stock kernel (rooted) and still have the same issues. Then removed root, rooted agin with Odin to Zedomax v3 and still same issues. Went to the distribution page for Wireless Tether and downloaded other beta and prior stable versions of the app and still same issues.
Soooo.... then I thought, maybe the hardware that broadcasts the wifi signal is busted. So I flash back to stock, unroot and go to sprint today. They activated my Sprint Hotspot service and BOOM! Pull out my SGT10.1 and the network is right there. Connect to it and it works just fine.
What is frustrating is my brother bought an SGSIIE4GT as well, we have the same hardware versions and running the same ROM and kernel and he can tether with no problems.
Not sure what could be causing the problems but hope I can get it sorted soon. Would very much appreciate any insight from anyone on new things to try. Anyone even having the same problems?

My guess it is because the Galaxy Tab doesn't support ad-hoc wifi tethering, which is what the wifi tethering app you're using broadcasts in. Had the same problem when I was trying to use it with my Touchpad. You will need a tethering app that supports infrastructure mode to be able to tether to your tablet.
Fortunately, Necrosan has been able to hack the built in Sprint Hotspot app (that uses infrastructure mode) to get free 3g tethering. That thread is here [HACK] [EG30] Hotspot Hack (3G Only for now)
You will need to be rooted and be using a deodexed EG30 rom, but there a quite a few of those around. I'm using [ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 and it is working great for me. Haven't even had LOS yet.
After you get all this done you should be able to use the Sprint Hotspot app and tether to your Galaxy Tab. Mine has been working great with my Touchpad so far. Hope this helps!

My brother (as stated above with the same hardware and software) tethers just fine to his SGT10.1 and his iMac....

To make sure its really broadcasting you should use a laptop or another computer with wifi to look for the SSID. If you see your device then the problem is probably the one stated above. If not, then there is definitely something else wrong
EDIT: just read that you already tried this. Sorry man, don't know what to tell you :/ If the Sprint Hotspot worked then I would just used the hacked version I mentioned previously to avoid paying monthly for it
Thanks for the responses, will give this a go sometime this week. Thanks for your help mate.

I've found that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" does not work for me on the ET. It acts like it is, but I can never see the SSID.
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether, it is working great for me.
Try this hopefully it works. I am getting my SGII today and this is main reason for rooting...
Does 4g work when you tether?

Barnacle did not work for 4g on my Evo so it may not work now. I believe it only handled 3g
Ok i am having trouble with getting the right tethering app for this rom.I have been searching since the 26th for a tethering app that works right,I have used barnicle,easy tethering(works but not wireless),Wireless Tethering(Saids starting but also logs error)Im needing a wireless tethering app that will actually work like its suppose to because my phone is the only way i can use my internet and me and my wife normally use it on both of our laptops at the same time.Im not A verizon customer.I personally flashed my Dinc 2 to Cricket.I do have a tethering plan but since i flashed from 2.3.3 rom my wireless tethering doesnt work..Barnicle works sometimes but connection speed is 11mbs when stock tethering was running 54mbs...The app is really slow and then when me and my wife gets on from our laptops at the same time it acts like it kicks me or her off to run on just one laptop at a time...Can someone please help???Does anyone know how i can fix this or is there a app that im not finding that actually works like system 3g Hotspot???Thank yall
No network
I flashed this ROM last night and lost any network connection, not sure why, could connect over wifi, I'm hoping thee is a fix for the tethering because I use the phone for internet at work and use Barnacle, which has always worked flawlessly.
Barnacle works fine as far as I can tell. Using it now.
I'm using barnacle as well, but you only get ad-hoc mode. Has anyone had luck with wifi tether or opengarden or any of the other apps? I need to get on my work VPN, but it doesn't connect through ad-hoc, so barnacle is no good for that.
I've been using the stock rooted jellybean as my daily driver (FL16, great battery life) and I can't get any of the popular WiFi tether apps to work. The sprint hotspot app doesn't work either, obviously.
With 'Wifi Tether for Root Users', I'm unable to connect to the network even though I can see it. (tested on multiple PCs)
With FoxFi, I can connect to the network but it shuts off my 4g (some sort of sprint protection).
With sprint hotspot, it shuts off my 4g as well.
Does anyone know of a fix or a certain version of one of these apps that will work for me? I did a bit of perusing and couldn't find any good information on it.

Unfortunately, we don't have native 4g tethering yet as far as I know.

You are welcome.
Ive been using autoprime tether for months now but ever since last week when i try to use my laptop with it, the tmobile website shows up saying i used up my hotspot data. My tablet connects to and works just fine. I was on 10r...now im on 10c and reinstalled primetether but i have the same problem. Could it be tmobile found me?
I started using PDANet for Bluetooth tethering, and it shows as hotspot as well. Not sure why T-Mobile doesn't allow Bluetooth tethering seeing as though it appears they can still meter it.
Yes I am having the same problem. The tethering mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does anyone know what's up?
