Hy,
On the Defy, the USB tethering doesn't work. (seems not active)
What's the process to do it ?
thanks

note: wireless tethering - for root users only - works great for me
You should use PdaNet for USB tethering.
Hi I'm actually using easytether (free app from the market) to access internet from my debian box and it's working pretty well.
Simply install the program and follow the wizard.

Great question for the app section... To my knowledge Barnacle works for some but can be 'finicky'. Otherwise, no.
Yea I couldn't get barnacle to work

here is the the one I'm using for TeamFenix 1.7.1 which is based off of one of the CM nightlies, and I haven't had any problems at all, just downloaded, installed using Astro File Manager and was up an running on my netbook. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk
barnacle ususally works. just disable wpa_supplicant. go to barnacle's settings and check skip wpa_supplicant. ran it for a few hours on windows. works well.
Barnacle is the only one that people claims works. I haven't been able to get any Ad-hoc to work with Linux, but Windows works with Barnacle.
Not related to wireless, but there is built-in USB tethering which I prefer if I can get signal at my laptop. Just plug in the USB, go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering and check 'USB Tethering'. If it prompts for drivers tell Windows to manually use 'Remote NDIS Device for Internet Sharing' by 'Microsoft Incorporated'.
I'm trying to find a working wifi tether app for cm 6.0 as well. Ive tried Barnacle and it doesnt work even when I disable wpa supplicant. The computer sees it and connects but no webpages will load.
I also tried a few different wifi tether apk's from googles site and everyone makes my phone crash and reboot.
wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. Thanks
I recently installed cyanogen 6.1.1 and installed wireless tether for root (the newest version, 2.06 I think.) . When I start tethering windows will find the network but it won't connect to the internet and the program is showing no data activity. The same thing happens if I try using the hotspot option in settings. I've already tried changing the network id, channel and I even reinstalled the app and no luck. PDAnet usb tethering is working fine but the built in usb tethering isn't (it makes a noise like a driver failed to install). Thanks for any input on getting any of them working correctly.

you may need to install the vision/dz drivers to get the official usb tether to work but I haven't dicked with the wifi in a while and don't really remember a lot about it.

I seem to remember there being conflicts when you have Wireless Tether installed since CM already has the hotspot. Try uninstalling Wireless Tether, rebooting and using hotspot

Where Can I find these drivers? And are they self installing? If not where do I put them?

I'm pretty sure I tried to use this before I installed Wireless Tether for Root.
Got it working, thanks. I uninstalled everything, rebooted my phone and computer. Some driver installed and both tethering options in settings are working now.
I'm having this problem as well. What do you mean by you uninstalled everything?
I'm having the same issue. Did you just uninstall the app and reboot?

Just fixed the issue. I uninstalled Wireless tether for root and rebooted phone. Opened up hotspot and it now works. Thanks!
When you use the inbuilt tether, did you get charged.

You need to have the proper drivers installed on your computer for it to work. If you're on Windows, download HTC Sync and it will give you the proper drivers. If you're on OSX, you'll have to follow one of the several guides out there to trick your system into doing a USB net connection.
I'm personally on OSX and its just too annoying. I just set up a WPA secured wireless network and set it right next to my laptop. Plenty fast and no hassle with a cable.
Hi,
I searched the forum but i couldnt find an answer to my question.
My laptop just got hackintoshed and im waiting for a compatible wifi card, so it doesnt have wifi at all.
So I'm looking for an app that could make my tether my home wifi network to my laptop via USB (on OSX Lion and Win7 if possible) .
All the apps that i found lets you tether you cellular network or tether via wifi..
If someone could help
Take a look at the tethering options ... I have a USB option (it might be ROM specific (I'm using Revolution HD 4.1.5)
You can try Wired Tether (Google search, not in Market) or the new tethering app by Koush..
I just tested USB tethering to my windows 7 machine. The built in USB tether used my wifi connection to stream netflix to my computer
Unfortunately, it will not work on mac as far as I know...
Koush's tether app!

I can't find Tethering Manager in Titanium Backup... Is it under another name? I only ask because I have found a Wi-Fi sharing manager but don't know if it's the same thing or not. Is it?

It's not called Tethering Manager. It's called Wi-Fi sharing and Wi-Fi sharing manager. Freeze them both and you should be able to tether like you used to.
Good Luck..

That's for you to share files via wifi... Lol

Sorry. I assumed that the question was about wireless tethering, when the OP didn't state that.
Tethering is the ability to connect your phone to your computer via a USB port and share the phone's internet connection with your computer. I assume Tethering manager is the T-Mobile app that manages that connection, although I'm running Juggernaut 5.0 and there is no Tethering manager on my phone. I notice if I connect my USB cable to my phone, the USB tethering option is available in Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot.
Wi-Fi sharing, (and manager), provides the same functionality, but instead of connecting the phone to your computer via the USB port, you connect via Wi-Fi, (turning the phone into what T-Mobile calls a portable "Hotspot"). This is often times called wifi tethering, which is why I answered incorrectly. The sharing part is because you can connect up to 8 computers through the phone at the same time.
Wi-Fi sharing doesn't have anything to do with sharing files.
To the OP, if you are trying to do USB tethering, and like me, you don't have the Tethering manager app installed, just connect the USB cable between your phone and computer, and then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot. and see if you can enable the USB tethering option. If so, then you should be able to USB tether without issue. If you've already done this, and it won't work, then you may want to consider installing a ROM which provides this functionality.
You shouldn't freeze, (or need to freeze), Wi-Fi sharing, and Wi-Fi sharing manager, (unless you want to do wireless tethering with an app like this one).
Good Luck..
Barnacle WIFI Tether has always been my trusty go-to. Just install and go with no freezing or unfreezing needed, and it's full of features and options for your tether network.

I'm a quick learner, teach me something.
Wireless and USB tethers
For Wifi Tether [using your phone as a WiFi router to the internet: Barnacle WiFi is the best IMHO [free but phone MUST be rooted].
For USB tether: ClockworkMod Tether: Free AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT though you will need to download an exe and install to your computer [install Cloclworkmod Tehter open app and click ? icon and tap Download Tether For PC this will download exe to your SD connect to computer via USB cable and enable USB Drive copy file to computer, run it allow it to install and then after it is running on your computer disconnect your phone, reconnect open clockwork tether and hit the BIG icon above the USB Tether is not running text and you should see it picked up on the computer side.
If you attempt to use any form of WiFi tether app included by Tmo there is a fee for that and oh if you call tech support and try to ask about tethering they will tell you it is not allowed and they dont support it. Really, they dont want you doing for free what they can charge for, and there have been some cases of folks getting called by Tmo and asked to stop [I never have had that happen, but I don't try to use my phone as my only internet connection either so it most likely depends on how you use the tether and all.
Also, keep in mind sometimes you can install an app on your phone that kinda goes nuts and uses tons of data for no reason [could be coding issue, the way you use or set it up, etc] be sure to check to be sure it is not an app abusing your phone's connection and causing all that data usage if Tmo ever call is what I fall back on. You know how stupid us users are ;-)

sorry but wifi sharing has nothing to do with wifi tethering... I actually remove it. Tethering manager is what prevents you from using wifi tethering freely. This has been discovered like the first month the phone was released... That is why roms do not include it..
You can try it for yourself.
