I'm not sure what is going on.
Tether to the iPad = Success
Tether to another smartphone = Success
Tether to my Laptop = Fail
Tether to random computers at Bestbuy = Fail
This seems to have came up all of a sudden. I don't see why I am able to tether to some devices but not all of them. I thought it may be a problem with my computer but when I came from Bestbuy earlier today, their computers could not connect to my Wifi (Normally they do).

My brother has a G2 with a rooted stock rom and I can get his phone to tether to my laptop either but it will tether to the two devices I was successful with.

I have tried multiple versions of Wireless Tether for Root Users and they all have the same result. I also have Encryption disabled and have the Channel Set on 1 (I tried multiple channels as well)
Thank you very much in advance for any responses
I use Android WIFI tether. In fact a friend needed to use it today. No problems at all! He was on a laptop.

First post. So, I have a Evo but I won a iPad (wifi only) online the other day and i'm thinking about keeping it or selling it. I know Sprint has a Hotspot option that you can use on the phone but I don't want to pay $30/month for it which is crazy in my opinion. I downloaded EasyTether off the appstore so I can tether for free which is great on my laptop, but if I keep the iPad and take it around with me i want to be able to get online with it, so it would be great to have the Hotspot functionality on my phone. I know you can activate hotspot functionality by rooting the Evo, but I just updated to 2.2 and as far as I am aware there is no 2.2 root option yet.
So in the meantime I guess I was just wondering if anyone who has a iPad uses the Evo's hotspot functionality. I was also curious in general how it performs over 3G with wifi devices and if there is any option like Easy Tether so you can use hotspot functionality for free until there is a root for 2.2 on Evo?
Thanks for any input/answers and I look forward to contributing to the forums.

We took a trip to the mountains a week ago. I used the EVO hotspot utility to connect my laptop and my wife's ipad and my son's ipod touch to the internet all at the same time! Worked like a charm! just remember to change the default setting at set a new SSID and password.
I believe that if you can connect with your laptop you should be able to connect with your iPad. I've always been able to connect with my iPad whether it was adhoc or AP mode.
Well i started paying for the 30 bucks option becuase the free wifi cap my speeds real bad and i was rooted back then but now im stock with rooted icons wierd but dont work but works awsome the hotspot for me i have 3 360 coneected amd 2 ps3 and my msi netbook connected and works bad ass i love it yea some lag but it ok for me

Well, I can connect my Laptop to my Evo via USB using EasyTether Lite so I can get online with my laptop for free but I need free Hotspot functionality so I can use it with my iPad, but idk what I could do since I updated my Evo to 2.2.
I don't know if this will help you but there is a chance you can downgrade your Evo and then root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
hold your ipad differently, or buy a case.

I find people that type with caps on the first letter of every word to be very annoying. And there's no point.

I know that iPods (3rd gen) aren't able to connect to AP networks, since I've hosted from my laptop before and it couldn't see it.

If you want the iPad, keep it. It sound like the iPad can connect to even AP infrastructure networks. Although I'm pretty sure the Hotspot app, and wireless tether, both aren't AP network (although I don't know what it hosts, that's not my area ).
Basically, Hotspot would work if you felt like $30. Otherwise I'd wait for 2.2 to get rooted.
I honestly don't know what I'm saying anymore cause I'm watching tv and writing this. And there's models...
Oops I wasn't aware that EasyTether was done through USB. In that case, since you don't have root and upgraded to 2.2, you can either set up internet sharing on your laptop and connect using adhoc mode, or pay the $30 for the official tethering.

or you can pay $0 to root your phone, install any 2.2 ROM, and use android wifi tether.
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Either 1: Open up your Apps page and look for the widget "Wi-Fi Hotspot" (on my Desire it is placed just before the YouTube widget"
or 2: open Settings, Wireless & networks and select "Portable Wi-fi Hotspot"
This has allowed me to connect my iPad via my Desire's data connection.
the desire on official froyo unrooted has a hotspot widget preinstalled as mentioned above.
my friends iphone and laptop spotted it fine. so no reason why an ipad wouldnt find it.
i note that evo can connect to many devices as can be seen from other posts here, but the htc desire has a max limit of 2 devices via the wifi hotspot at a time, although i dont know if you could connect more devices by using usb tether and bluetooth tether at the same time too. you dont need apps from anywhere for wifi or usb tether on 2.2 official version. i dont know if 2.2 allows bluetooth tether but if satnav devices can piggy back to net connection on phones i dont see why tethering cant be done but might be slow. there are apps on cnet for wifi and blueetooth tethering (cnet editor reviewed apps).
I believe the Sprint approved version of Froyo has Android WiFi removed and replaced by their own app.
Now that it's possible to root, I installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9.
My iPad connects, but no Internet access!
Ipad works fine
I use the Wireless Tether with my IPAD all the time works great I am using Fresh 3.3.0.1
Hotspot and wireless tether are both AP, zune hd doesn't do adhoc and i was able to connect to my evo with it
Hey Gang-
Current set up. Unrevoked, running Caulkin's ROM.
After exploring the great features of my ROM, I wanted to try out the Wireless Tether app. After trying again and again and playing with the settings, I was able to get my laptop to connect to the Evo but could not get a connection to any website.
This evening, I removed and re-loaded the app directly from the developer's website, still having the same problem. As far as I can tell, I can connect to the Evo via my laptop but I don't seem to be getting a connection to any websites. The data stream log shows some activity.
Any suggestions?
Hrm mine stopped working as well. Nothing will connect to it since Saturday. I've turned off encryption and access control (which both worked till saturday) and no dice. I've tried 3 versions of it and no go
I've not changed Anything else since then that would mess with tether. Im running Azreal 3.0 which seems to enable the official sprint hotspot and THAT connects just fine tho I'm worried I might get charged since my accounts not provisioned for it.
Anyone else have issues with the android tether lately?
I am running MikFroyo 4.4 rom and have had no issues with either Wireless Tether or Sprint Hotspot wireless tethering. On some other roms I have used I have had to turn Wireless tethering off and on a couple of times before my laptop fully connected with the internet. And as far as Sprint charging you, unless you are downloading a ton of crap constantly chances are you will go by unnoticed.
all you have to do is not use it.. mine did the same today
i just went to the market and downloaded barnicle wireless tether
its actually a bit fater and works the same.
Hey guys,
since i'm moving often, workwise, and don't have the luxury of great DATA speeds via my Phone often, and neither the Option to pair my Wifi with local hotspots or Routers in Companys.. i'd love a solution for the play.
So far i've tried
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-793102.html - Failed
I'm currently running CM7 (FXP Edition release 41 i believe) and it does NOT come with that option, though i've read that CM7 doas come with it on some devices.
Any help appreciated!
(BTW - a PORTABLE solution would be preferable, since it's Client PCs i'm sitting on mostly.)
My answer would be Yes, on whatever is possible. I guess any rooted rom could get that feature.

I have the same issue... I'm considering connecting my netbook with an ethernet cable and using the wifi to connect to my phone.
I haven't seen anyone successfully use ICS on Windows 7 to reverse tether to an Android phone through USB. (we use Windows 7 at work)
I think you need to enable RNDIS in kernel, for example to compile it as module.
Ive used connectify while i was on vacation.
You can turn your wifi adapter into a hotspot and put a password on it so you can connect your phone to your laptop while your laptop is connected to another wireless network (get it ?)
see http://www.connectify.me/
Well the thing is, I am usually connected via cable. So wifi is not an option.

I am a noob so take it easy on me. I owned a stock G2 for 2 years and never had an issue with T-Mobile's wifi hotspot tethering. A few weeks ago I upgraded to a Note 2 and ran into immediate issues. I rooted the phone (still running stock JB) downloaded Titanium Backup Pro and I have SuperSu. I downloaded TrevE's modified wifi tether app and was able to get it to work after freezing the tethering provision and tinkering with my ASN, the problem is that I am only able to wifi tether to Android tablets or ipads, I am having issues tethering to my laptop and my Xbox. I get the T-Mobile upsell page when I connect to my laptop and my Xbox finds the hotspot and connects but is unable to download any updates or access the marketplace (I have already tried assigning the Xbox the same mac address as my tablet, no dice). I was wondering if there was an easy work around so I can tether to my Xbox and laptop or an idea I had was is it possible to tether to my Asus Transformer to my wifi hotspot (which does work with the tablet) and then run an Ethernet cable from my tablet (I saw usb Ethernet adapters are available for my Transformer) to my Xbox or laptop to get past the block. I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks. Also I am on the T-Mobile unlimited data plan.
I have an Optimus G on Sprint with the following software versions:
Android 4.1.2, kernel 3.4.0, Build JZO54K, Software LS970ZVB
My previous phone was an HTC Evo 4G that was trouble-free with root and wifi tether used daily for two and a half years until it fell in a toilet.
This Optimus is rooted (all stock, just root) and the TrevE Mod version of WiFi tether is installed. The tether SSID is visible and it will connect and give an IP address but there is no internet connection. I have tried various settings of device profile, routing fix, mss clamping and driver reload, it simply doesn't work. The Wifi tether requires the phone to be restarted if it is stopped. I could live with that, but it is useless without internet connectivity.
Giving up on the WiFi tether, I tried the simplest USB tether that I am aware of, easytether. I have used easytether on other phones without any problems. On my Optimus G, easytether establishes a connection and internet works for a minute or two, then stops and my computer network icon gets the yellow triangle with "no internet access" message. This can be repeated over and over. Disconnect, reconnect, two minutes of internet, then stop.
This is very frustrating. I would absolutely love this phone if some form of tether would function.
If anyone has any suggestions or prior experience with this issue, your help is appreciated.

I read up on this issue a few times.. Here's what I gathered if you haven't found the solution yet...
Use WiFi Tether for Root Users
Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
MMS Clamping: Check
Routing Fix: Check
Let me know if that works.. If not I can post the rest of my settings.
Good Luck!
B
Did the following:
Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
MMS Clamping: Check
Routing Fix: Check
Still not working for me. Other rooted apps do work
Sprint Optimus G here
Try this profile it works
