Hey every one, I rooted my phone last night and so far so good, Some gliches here and there, but thats to be expected.
What I am having problems with is setting up my WIFI Tether. I downloaded the WIFI Tether app from the market (the one with the green broadcast signal on the main screen) and I cant get it to give me access to the internet.
I am not new to "networks"... I have 2 laptops, a PS3, 2 desktops, 2 PSPs, a DS and a SONY TV - all hooked up to my secure wireless network at my house...
But this has me stumped...
I am getting limited access and no internet connection through my broser... what I am doing wrong??
I dunno what info you would need to help me, but my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite... does not have bluetooth, only wifi...
EVO is rooted with unrevoked, flashed amon ra recovery... any help would be appriciated

Download the apk, install via ADB
1st. Download apk wireless tether, latest update, make sure the first wireless tether u've installed is removed completely from Manage Applications settings.
2nd. Run ADB prompt by adb remount, adb install file_name.apk
3rd. Reboot
4th. Test it

Okay the one I down loaded from the market was the one called..."wireless tether for root" by Muller,Lemons, Buxton
So that particular one is no good?
Okay - the only issues I have with your post is the whole adb stuff...lol.... sorry, im still new to all this and Im not sure what that is... Can't i just download it and install it the regular way? just curious...and if *NOT* then can you explain adb? is it an app or some thing like that?

How did you get it to work? I just uninstalled it and was going to try and set up the other suggestion... the one he told me about looks just like the one I just uninstalled...
ADB is like a program by SDK Tools.
Hold Shift + Right click on the folder C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools
Open command prompt on that
Type 'adb devices' while your plugged in with the usb plug to your PC
If it shows a line below that like your device 'HTC#####...' Name.
Type 'adb remount', then put the file of the apk in the tools folder.
Type 'adb install file_name.apk'
and type 'adb reboot'
Your phone should reboot and have the wireless tether apk installed and working...HOPEFULLY
AND READ THE GUIDE FOR ADB ON BEGINNERS ITS USEFUL BY THE SEARCH BUTTON

This **** is really confusing...lol... I wish there were"user manuals" for all the apps out there...
I know it seems simple once you get the hang of it all, but in the beginning, it really makes me feel like an idiot...lol
easy method
download the app from the link in the post a few above this one with your phone
make sure you have a check on non market app install in settings, applications
drop down the notification bar and touch the apk that was downloaded
it should install
done

Thanks for the input ZJ, how ever - I have already "installed" it twice, Getting it to install is not the problem at all.
The problem is getting it to work correctly. Any help on how to get it to connect to my laptop with out limited connectivity?? It works, it connects to the laptop, but it keeps saying limited connectivity... I cant actually get on the internet - say thru a browser or what ever...
I don't really think I need to go through adb to get it to work, cause it actually installs and works fine, as far as broadcasting wifi and being found by my laptop.
My computer recognizes it and every thing...when I connect to it though - It just says "connected with limited connectivity"
any help on this would be great... maybe the configurations every one is useing to get it to work?
There are several setting and what not and I guess cause I dont have a "user manual" its gonna take me messing around with the config to ...um fig...ure it out :/
::Frustrated::
When mine does that I go into settings, wireless, mobile data settings, uncheck all but top and always on, set provider(system?) to automatic. open a browser and surf or google maps, just to get the connection going and data transfers started, then open a webpage on laptop and it usually works, after it connects that first time then every time it just works, that first hump of connection is tough

In my opinion, JayStation3, I think you would like wireless tether built already into the Froyo ROMs we have here from XDA developers, maybe that can save your time a bit. Just a thought.
You can flash a new rom with wireless tether and a new kernel to make your phone ready to use. Just a thought once again, can't help you much a bit because I already am using it and it works fine.
Ok, here is a stupid question... Do I have to have to have "wifi" in the phone setting turned on when I use the tether app? I just assumed that the tether app turned it on automatically... I guess I could try it real quick to answer my question...

okay, that must have been it. I turned on my WIFI in phone settings and... well its working now... I figured that it used data connection like 3G and 4G...but i do have wifi here at my house - So I guess Im still kind of confused... Cause essentially - if I have wifi turn on through my phone - its like my phone is just acting like an access point, which would be pointless if I was trying to use my phone as a hotspot in my car or on a plane or some thing... Ill try it again tomorrow at my office where there is no wifi and see what happens. In the mean time Im gonna continue reading as much as I can here on all this stuff...
I do wanna try flashing another ROM here soon, I just want to learn as much about all this as I can. Im still kind of confused about flashing and restoring and making sure I have all my back up done right and what not... I look forward to trying out some of the awesome ROMs I have read and seen on the forums... but I want to be able to go back to the froyo2.2 incase I dont find any thing I really like...

*Edit* Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
It seems like the Wi-Fi goes to "sleep" on the DHD. I installed VLC Remote a little while ago, and after 1-2 minutes the controller will not work. I had to quit the app and reconnect for it to work.
I did a test by pinging the DHD from my computer while the VLC Remote was active, turned off the screen several times. It worked perfect!
I then stopped the pinging and after 1-2 minutes the VLC Remote stopped responding. I pressed the pause button several times, nothing happened.
Then I started the ping back up (the VLC Remote was still open) and after a 2-3 "Request canceled" (no ping reply back from the phone) it got a response from the ping and the VLC Remote worked again.
Is there any way to make the Wi-Fi not go to "sleep"? It's annoying me to stop/start the remote every time I want to pause the movie.
I tried turning Best Wi-Fi performance on, but that didn't help
Thanks!
select the wifi settings, then press the menu button and select advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to never and your laughing

Thanks for the reply fkofilee. It's already set to "never". Updated the original post and title with it.
I restarted the phone and did some more testing.
As long as the screen is on there are no problems (VLC Remote responds), but when I hit the on/off button on the top of the phone to turn the screen off and turn the screen back on after a couple of minutes, VLC Remote will not respond. I have to ping the phone for VLC Remote to respond again.
Any suggestions?
same here, have to disconnect/connect to wifi to get it going again. Really frustrating when my exchangesync fails. Work as a IT-administrator and have to get serverfails reported as soon as possible.

I also have this issue its so annoying. I could be connected to wifi and have bars and then go to download something from the market it will pause and when I go into network setting its says wifi is authenticating but it doesnt change so I have to turn off and back on to get it working again. I had a Iphone 3gs and never had wifi issues like this.

I don't think we have the same problem. Downloading seems fine. When I ping it (while running VLC Remote), it works fine. I can shut the screen off, turn it back on 10 min later and it works fine. It seems like it goes into a type of "sleep mode" when there is no active traffic to/from the phone.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about this problem. I'll keep you guys updated.
Dont know if you do or are into mods but if you root your phone and flash clockwork mod you could try and push a new wifi module using root explorer...or even flash a custom rom...Pretty sure this would fix it..
Depends how much you know about this stuff though..
I can help you through it if you want to...some people dont want to though and I cant blame them...

Thanks rixsta! I'm gonna do a custom ROM, but I'm gonna wait until Gingerbread is released and custom ROMs have been made for that.
Are you up for testing if this is a problem on your ROM? If so, is this fixed with a new wifi module?
*Edit* With LeeDroid 1.2 and Buzz 1,22Ghz v1.0.2 it fixed the problem! I also sent a mail to HTC and they have forwarded it to the programmers.

I'm using leedroid's Rom so can't test and I've just got it working great..but...why don't you just root with visionary and pay £2.50 for root explorer and move a new WiFi module...that's all you need..
Up to you really..you could use Apache oc kernel...you will need to s off with this method and buy setcpu from the market...if your going to be doing custom roms in the future then you will need to do this anyways...if you need help let me know...I can tell you where to get the WiFi file from...

My friend has the same problem and I don't want to install a custom ROM on her phone.
Any news regarding this issue?
Hello everyone, I cannot connect to my tether or mobile hotspot, The device or laptop picks up the tether and connects but no internet. On my evo it will show usage being active but On the device or laptop it keeps saying limited connectivity. Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it?
I have the same problem too on miui rom
I've never used hot spot, but in WiFi tether, check and see if access control is on or off. It you have it on and want it on, then make sure you give permission to the device accessing it.
If not try rebooting the phone. If that fails, clear the data from the WiFi tether app so it loads the binary files again the next time you open the app.
One of these always works for me.

Are you using the app or the built in hotspot?
When I open Tether, Hotspot comes on, on its own or at least the hotspot app opens up (but doesn't start up).

Ok, when you flashed Myn's rom, did you keep the stock kernel or did you flash another kernel after the rom? I think it comes with the stock HTC kernel which won't allow the wireless tether to work.
Hello Everyone.
I'm a new Evo 4G user and look forward to learning ALOT from this site. When I learn more about rooting, I'm sure I'll take the plunge. For now, I need internet access at my (rural) house. After reading many people say how wonderful PdaNet is, I can't get it to work. This is very important to me because my wife and I just seperated and she has my daughter (moved out of state). She won't let me call and talk to my daughter because I use her cell phone minutes (she has AT&T). I want to do skype, but need internet access. For now, I go to McD's or Dunkin Donuts to use their WiFi.
When I tried to tether earlier today, it connects to Network 3, but has no internet access.
I'm gettting error code 67 on my phone. I dismiss it.
It says Fail to Connect to the internet. Please make sure your phone has good data service and try again. I hit "Enable USB Tether and it just refreshed the same screen (I know that was already selected anyway)
I just tried it again here at DD. It said something like this application requires network access, so I connected to DD WiFi. I then get "PdaNet is on and running as a backgro0und service on your phone. Please click PdaNet tray icon from teh computer end to connect"
I do that, and it says "Please make sure your phone is attached to your computer and USB debugging is enabled on the phone"
Yes and yes.
Sorry for the rant here, Guys, but I really need to get internet at the house.
Thanks,
Bob
If your phone shows error 67 then the phone has no data connection, make sure it shows a 3G or 4G symbol to the left of your signal indicator, but with a quick root using unrevoked and a download of wireless tether you can connect and share wirelessly, don't hesitate at this point Evo rooting is down to a science and awesome devs have already done all the hard work for you, its not taking a plunge its like opening the shades and letting the light in. Read an Evo Root guide for noobs on xda and it walks you through every single step. This stuff is child's play

I've never tried tethering with pdanet while connected to wifi. Try it while connected to 3g or 4g and see what happens. I love the wireless tether app, so simple. And as the other guy said, error 67 means you have no data. Which is what leads me to believe it's got something to do with being on wifi.

Trouble with pdanet
I had the same problem. Try setting "charge only." It worked for me. Lew
Exactly, if your using pdanet the instructions say to select charge only when you connect the phone to your computer. The usb tethering selection is not used with PDAnet.
Thanks, everyone.
I had a 3G connection and had no problem accessing the internet from the phone. I didn't really understand why it was saying that I didn't have a data connection. When I would be using PdaNet at the house, I would not have a WiFi net to connect to, I just happened to be at DD to access the net with my computer and D/L the computer side s/w of PdaNet.
I will try the charge only option. I think I have the USB tether option selected.
I hope that works for me. I'll update and let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Bob
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled.
Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
You want to be in charge only mode when you plug the cable in.

One other thing if you can't get it to work, you might want to try Easy Tether instead of PDANet. I don't know if you bought the paid version of PDANet, but the paid version of Easy Tether is cheaper and it seems to work better for me.

I have an stock EVO that will not connect to the HTC Sync program no matter what version of Sync I install. The Sync program doesn't see My EVO, nor does the device manager display it as an Andriod Device.
I have installed and tried both 2.0.35 & 2.0.40, neither will see the phone when plugged into computer. I also have PdaNet (purchased version) installed and that program allows me to wire tether on the same pc and same phone. I have also tried this on another pc with the same results. I am baffled.
My reason for this help is simple, I want to ROOT this EVO but with the Sync program not seeing My EVO when wired tethered, well, need I say more?
Anyone out there in Techno World, help pls.....
Thanks in Advance Y'all.

On computer, try uninstalling the HTC Sync program via Programs and Features menu, leaving behind the HTC BMP USB Driver and the HTC Driver Installer on the computer . . .
ok, will give that a shot, brb.
@ SteveGrandRapids,
Ok, did as you suggested and now in my device manager i see:
Disc Drives>HTC-Android Phone USB Device
Will I now be able to have the ROOT program see my phone?
Are you running a sense rom? Sync will only work on sense, not aosp.
YUP, full stock atm.....
Thx Y'all, as you can see, My EVO is now rooted and lovin it. WiFi Tether working perfectly. Unrevoked3 worked flawlessly, sealessly and my hat is off to the Devs for their hard work. I did NOT loose any data nor did I have to reinstall any of my apps. Just follow the instructions and the video. Entire process took about 30 minutes. I recommend you watch the video and do the process along with it. VERY GOOD JOB!

An hour and 20 minutes after rooting, the EVO went completely dead sitting in its dock. I noticed it wasn't charging but it still had 42% left when I last checked it. Doubtful it could use that much juice in a 30 minute period. Now its completely dead and will not charge or boot. You'd think if something was to happen, it would have happened quickly and not wait. Its electric, its either on or off, no inbetween.
Strange because after I rooted it, I made calls with it, accessed the web and most important to me, wifi tethered my laptop and gtablet to it. It rebooted fine too..and all was working perfectly. I noticed that the root process used some power so I put it into its dock to charge it up and nothing. Tried to plug it directly into a USB2 and still nothing. Everything worked just minutes prior to it going dead.
I haven't a clue whats wrong except once I get home I'll put in a fully charged battery and see if it boots. If it does, next thing is to see if the battery will charge.
Any ideas?
Try the fresh battery and post back with update.

Will do, but that will be about 3 1/2 hours from now. Still at work.....
OK, it was the battery. Was so low it shut down phone. Plugged it into my home charger still in the phone and the charge light came on so I removed it, placed it in my dual charger and installed my spare battery and all is well.
Dohhhhhh!!
Sorry, had this in the wrong section before.
I pulled down the files and flashed in that were linked in jcase's links. Superuser works great. Busybox is good to go. Wireless tether comes on and shows root access but the computer can't connect to it at all. Connection error each time. And now the 3G Mobile Hotspot with the applied DUN hack doesn't work either for wireless tether.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
To be clear, i did flash in the inc2 zip referenced by jcase specifically for the wireless tether. Forgot to mention that.

It works for me. I downloaded Wireless Tether from the source.
Are you trying to connect on Windows, Mac, or Linux?
Trying to connect on a Windows 7 machine. I pulled the Wireless Tether app from the source also. Wonder if I grabbed the wrong version. Let me check your link.
Tried the Mac and Windows side of the computer and neither could hook into it. I made sure PDANet was uninstalled from before, then reinstalled the Wireless Tether from your link. Still no good.
This one has me scratching my head a little bit.
Wireless tether is buggy on most phones. The drivers on your computers end can complicate things too. Just keep turning on and off access controls in the tether app as well as cycling WiFi in your computer and it should eventually connect.
Carelessly swyped on my phone so there may be some weird words
Thanks, I'll give that a run. Knew it went to easy on my original Inc when I rooted. I was due for fun.
Looks like the issue for me was the new Wireless 3 Beta. Went back and found the old Wireless 2 apk, installed, and everything is working fine. Good to go.
Thanks again for all the help on here. Y'all rock.

All of the old versions are here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I tried several and still can't get it working.
I haven't seen the inc2 specific .zip referenced in the first post though, maybe that's my problem?
