Froyo Wifi Tethering?

I'm running the 8/30 stock 2.2 Froyo XAndroid build. I was under the impression that Froyo had built-in Wifi Tethering capabilities, but I can't seem to find that under any of the menu options.
Is this present somewhere and I'm just blind or was it removed from the build for some reason?

Cool, thanks. I will try that app out.
Is this the native Froyo one or is this a 3rd party apk?
Is there any reason it was removed from the stock Froyo build?

I think the 'built-in' tethering was for USB, not wifi...
I have an option in the default settings app that has tethering, but only for USB. Since USB is relatively useless to us, the only way to tether is wifi.
I'm not sure who built that tether app, I want to say stinebd. Not positive tho. That app is provided by an XDA dev tho, not Google or HTC...

It seems like Froyo is supposed to have another built-in tethering over wifi option. You can see screenshots of it around the net:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...wifi-access-pointmobile-hotspot-capabilities/
But on our Froyo when I go to that screen I only have USB.

Meh, devs probably just disabled it... not sure. That APK should work flawlessly tho... always did for me, even if my phone did heat up like a fireball. I also found that it would discharge the battery faster than my USB port could charge it... Beware.

[APP][Wireless tether for root users] Now with more Infrastructure!!!

I had nothing to do with creating this. Just thought you guys would want to know that the lastest Wifi tether has been uploaded and it's supports Infrasructure Mode on 2.2 ROMs (Including CM6)
Major props to Harald Mueller for this! Don't hesitate to donate for all this guy's hard work!

Question is the sprint hotspot suppose to activate with this??
Cause it did then i clicked activate sprint thingy and it reboot my phone. lol

Yep the app starts the sprint tether I think.
What did you hit to make it reboot? It did reboot once when I turned the tether off but I don't know if it's done that consistently.

It's definitely just as fast or faster than mobile AP was.

do we still require a kernel that supports this? or has anyone gotten it to actually work. i know its an experimental build, but it didnt work for me. my lappy could see it, which is good because it cant even see ad hoc, but it failed connecting.
edit: hmmm, ya i see now its working for you. i still have old wifi tether installed, maybe thats it?

ok last time i mess with that, For heads up dont mess with any of the sprint stuff, it makes your phone reboot then makes it pop up an error when trying to connect, if you do just clear the app data and start over and it seems to work now

Worked perfectly to me and connected to my ipod touch no problem first try, and i had the old one installed, and then i uninstalled and still work,
Just a note dont mess with the sprint hotspot that pops up with it, it will just **** it up and you will have to clear data on the app or uninstall and reinstall again.

No. The app "talks" directly to the kernel. There is "something" implemented in the framework which detects that necessary kernel-setup-steps were performed.
It's not using the official hotspot-app/feature at all - only kernel-stuff (that's why it even works on CM6).

Probaly faster considering this is the sprint hotspot its activating. too bad i can't use all those sprint settings lol, oh well as long as its fast works on 4g and infrastructure. YAY

Should be able to set all of the same settings in the tether APP

So this is the same as MobileAP(works on ps3)?
Is there any advantage MobileAp have over this?

Well i guess if i could unistall the sprint hotspot some how i could, avoid that, the only reason it pops up is because this app uses the official sprint hotspot stuff, as seen in the mobile ap thread, someone bought the subscription and helped this guy make this work.

You could try ... but I think that notivication is triggered by the "system-framework" and not by the hotspot-app. The key were some dmesg-dumps to see which parameters are passed to kernel. Since I know the bcm4329-driver a little bit it was not that hard ... but it took some time and around 70 mails to/from "formula84" (the guy who was very helpful with testing/logs).

[Q] Mobile Hot spot - doesn't work

I've recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S, and the hot spot worked just fine, I'd connect with my laptop, and get internet access. ( Stock ROM )
This time around, on my Galaxy S II, I can get my laptop to connect, but I can't get internet access...
My plan hasn't changed, just the phone.
I'm tempted to try a custom ROM to see if that will help... has anyone else seen anything like this? Thanks!

I tether everyday brother works great.First off are you rooted.If so go in to t.b and freez tether manager.golden after that my friend
From a glaxay better than yours.

Its not rooted, but neither was my regular galaxy S.

You gotta be rooted on this phone to tether for free. They blocked it on this one.

Good to know. I find it odd that I can connect still, it seems like if it were a block, you wouldn't be able to get as far as connecting a device to it. It's also odd that the older galaxy S isn't blocking it.
I'll try it rooted, thanks.

I work at T-Mobile and customers tell me all the time that tethering and hotspot work for them without a plan. Usually it will let them access it for a while and then stop. I think they let you use it at first to see the advantage of using the service and get you hooked so you will add the paid feature.

I just found this but you have to be on the 5 or 10 gb plan www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mobile-qu...ith-free-mobile-hotspot-from-Jan-25th_id26064

Just a quick question..
On a stock / light tweaked (Mr X's ROM) I was able to tether..
However, when I update to other ROm's like Zombie's I am unable to use Tether or Hotspot. (Giving me invalid sim/mobile data not available)
My Telus plan includes tether and would like to use it .. however it seems like I must be on a TELUS only rom to be able to use it??

So long as you freeze tether manager with Titanium you should be fine. Perhaps you aren't able to do it on Zombie's because they didn't remove it from the ROM.

I mean it will launch the service, its technically an ad-hoc hotspot but it blocks certain ports that denies you acces to the WWW. I think all the new phones you have to pay for it or root, which is why the Vibrant didn't need to be rooted for you to use the tether service for free.

[Q] Any low cost or free 4G Tethering Options?

Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!

Wireless tether 2.0.7 works on pretty much anything. Does not work on evo 3d

So are you on an ICS rom still? A lot of things still aren't working with the ICS roms, including tethering.

Sorry, I meant Gingerbread.
I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025

Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.

Wireless tether for root connects to anysite you want I use it everyday on 2 devices works just fine connecting to anything I need

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.

I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.

Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.

WiFi Tethering Still A Problem For This Device...WHY?

I know this is probably not the section for this topic but there have been several posts on it with no definitive answers....I use FoxFi WiFi Tether on all my devices without a glitch, even the new Nexus 5, but not this phone " WHY ????? ", it doesn't make sense. With this device it shows a connection to the computer but it wont allow the internet connection....I can use the USB function of the FoxFi but have to install PDAnet to work. I know TrevE WiFi Tether app is installed with most Roms and works to a certain degree but not copletely with ZVC. From what I can deduce, it has something to do with the WPA (WPA2) settings for the phone. This is obviously a Dev issue so will someone with the know-how fix this problem for everyone....Personally, I will be happy to donate to someone to get it done.....so "Brains", get a project going on it and help us out....Thanks...

I never had a problem with Treve Wifi tether, although I don't use it for long at a time I just set device to galaxy nexus cdma/lte and it works. I do wish we had the native option enabled like my wifes S3 and our old Evo's, the native option is by far the best.

Thank you for your response. I've tried every setting possible that I know of for TrevE wifi, and like I said, I can connect but it does not let me download torrents and any tracked downloads.

It may be something with your phone then if you cant get tether on any aosp rom. Did you use Freegee to flash recovery? I only ask because the newer aosp roms some require a special recovery for them to flash correctly but if you use Freegee either recovery works just fine.

Im kinda confused now because I've download torrents on my phone and my nexus 7 using utorrent and wifi tether, I just downloaded the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack on my nexus 7 so I know it works. I will try Foxfi and see what happens but I would guess Treve wifi would be the better option. Have you tried Treve wifi using the settings I mentioned above, I've been using treve wifi since evo3d days and never had a problem once I got it setup properly.

if we can get through entitlement checks for the tether all the others will work after that i bet. i suck at smali but there are lots of devs that done in here. any takers?

So basically you are saying it is possible to make the wifi tethering issues better for this device, just finding a Dev to work out the problems is the issue..
Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

i was looking at another source for the sprint gs4 it is missing all the entitlement smali code in services.jar so even if you delete the entitlement code you have to sift through the other files to delete any other code that defines the entitlement code. ill pull both of them up on a diff viewer.
and see how different they really are....

I flashef back to dev edition 5.0 and used Treve wifi tether to download a torrent on my wifes S3. The only thing I did was change device profile to generic wlan0 and check send netd max client cmd.

OK I thought you were trying to download on your phone. On your computer you have to make sure the correct ports are open. Im not sure but I think the ports that need to be open for torrents start around 6881 and if its not open the program will try to use the next available port that can be used for torrents. Vuze makes setup easy and is much faster than bittorrent or utorrent and its not constantly downloading background stuff like bittorrent and utorrent.
