Tethering not working on G2? I just replaced my N1 with this G2, I asummed that I would be able to tether just fine after installing CM 6.1.1 but both wireless tether apk and barnacle say they are broadcasting but my pc doesn't even show it on the list of available networks.
If I use the stock tethering app my pc picks it up but can't use the internet, same thing with wired tether!
It isn't the kernal because I have tried the stock kernal, the cm kernel, and pershoot's kernel...any help would be appreciated!

Anyone? This is a pretty big deal for me

Native tethering on CM6.1.1 works fine for me... Try clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing the ROM
NOTE: It takes a minute or two for the PC to get a internet connection from the phone, if that helps...
Thanks for the response, the problem isn't that the pc isn't getting a data connection, the problem is that it isn't picking up the fact that there is a network available

There's an issue with tethering on Mac OS X if you are using USB tethering
I'm on a pc...and to be honest, I care more about wireless than wired... I tried wiping the cache through Clockwork and it is still a no go, I have also tried 2 different roms.
Assuming all steps were done correctly, could it have an a manufacturing defect? That you exchange for a new one under warranty?

I'm on a rooted 2.2 Froyo and tried installing wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.zip. It installs fine but I still can't connect to my PC or tether. Any tips?
What ROM are you running?

Also if you are using a wifi card that is intel you should update to the latest drivers. I had this issue with any roms even after I went pre7. But once I had ether updated drivers im good.
Also I cant seem to connect if I had wep enabled, but an open network vs no networ ok is ok. Since there is access control you can kick out unwanted leachers.

Hey everyone, i know nightly qquestions arent supposed to be asked, but i consider myself a pretty experienced user and still cant figure this out.
Whenever i install a relativly recent version of gbread on my phone it completely breaks tethering. Ive tried reinstalling the gb cm kernel and reinstalling wireless tether app...the last known working rom for me is build 45 of the pre- nightly gridlock builds

Have you tried the native wireless tethering hotspot, works for me on CM7.

Last I heard, there conflicts if you install a 3rd party tether app since tethering is already bundled into the build. Uninstall any 3rd party tether apps, reboot and try the native tethering app, it should work.

When you flash the new nightly, are you mounting /system first? I've found that if I don't mount /system before flashing, wifi and wifi tether sometimes don't like to work. (Wifi tether looks like it's working, but when you connect to it, you get a limited connection and no internet connectivity)
Hey, just tried reflashing after mounting system and still no luck..what kernel should i be using?

CM7 doesnt work with Wireless Tether use the native Hotspot that comes with CM7 found in menu/setting/wireless&network/tethering&portable hotspot. OriginalGabrial already said this:

Same here. I ended up downloading Barnacle from the market and that works well for me.
Iv'e been told Orange have disabled tether on the HTC Desire. I'm new to this, can anyone tell me how I can re-activate this facility?
Cheers
You could try barnacle from market, if you can't get native tethering to work. Barnacle allows for wifi tethering

Thanx..I'll check it out
Root and install custom rom. That's the way to go.
I'm on orange as well and nothing worked for me, none of the apps allowed tethering. It's something in oranges rom that prevents tethering.

tethering issues
was always able to usb tether until installin a non-sense rom
Had the same problem with every non-sense rom ive tried ?
is there something i need a driver or something maybe i might be missing?
Running old win xp if that matters
Im on the latest SPRINT LOVER ROM and using the latest WIRLESS TETHER APP. When I try to connect from any client, the evo does not show a notification that someone has connected and the client machine does not get an ip address. does anyone know why??
Thanks ...
Your EVO should vibrate when a client device tethers to it and when connected, the client should have an IP address.

Nope not working.. I have now tried my Laptop and an IPOD TOUCH.. neither work.. the network is shown and I can connect, but I dont get any notification on the phone and the laptop or IPOD do not get an IP ADDRESS....
BTW - Im running 2.0.8-PRE1 version of wifi tether on the evo4g. Also I notice that when I use the free wifi tether app and I start it up, I see 2 icons in the notification bar.. one of them is from the SPRINT HOTSPOT and says "0 users connected" .. Is that normal?
I've used the wireless tether app hundreds of times without issue, however, for some reason, I am unable to connect. Hopefully, it is because I'm using SalvageMod 1.2.1 AOSP Gingerbread rom. Normally, I use either Myn's RLS 5 or a rooted Stock ODEXED rom. I'm going to flash to one of the two momentarily and test it out again.

I have been using the wifi tether for months fine.. I had to reset my phone and install the latest sprint lovers ROM and thats when it started NOT working. I just uninstalled the WIFO TETHER I had installed and install the new 3.0 pre1 and STILL the same issue.. I can get my laptop to connect but no ip address and no notification on the EVO
Well, I flashed the stock rom and just finished tethering my MacBook to my EVO and it worked as it should. I'm not sure what the problem is with it not working with the "outstanding" SalvageMod 1.2.1 rom. I'm going to have to look into it. I can't understand why it is not working for you with the Sprint Lovers rom being that it is basically a rooted & deodexed stock rom. Have youvtried unistallung and reinstalling IR installing a previous version of the wireless tether app that you may have backed up somewhere?

Which version of the app did you use that worked?? Also Im not running the kernel that comes with the SPRINT LOVERS ROM. Im running a custom kernel for battery life....
UPDATE: EVEN the sprint mobile hotspot (which the sprint lovers rom has unlocked for 3G) doesnt work either.. I can connect but cant get an IP and no notification that I am connected to the phone
I'm using Wireless Tether version 2.0.7. Change kernels and see what happens. Try Netarchy 4.3.2 noHAvs noSBC noUV.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app
Does the kernel have anything to do with this??
If kernels can effect camera and video, and believe me, they can, then it is possible for them to have an effect, to some degree, on wireless performance. Of course, I have no proof, but I've been flashing long enough to know that it's possible.

OK so I just installed BARNACLE WIFI TETHER from the APP STORE. Guess what? It connected and worked..
Any ideas???
Wow! I have no explanation, whatsoever.

Did you try to go into manage applications and try clearing data and cache on those apps I have that problem all the time and that works for me...

tried that.. even uninstalled and reinstalled and even tried the new 3.0 version.. NADA.. but BARNACLE WIFI TETHER WORKED ALL DAY...... I dont get it...
I would completly uninstall wireless tether, I had a simikar problem, after upgrading versions, I then installed older version and it worksfine, I am running ver 2.05 rc 2, and newest netarchy kernel, on stock odex 3.7 rom

As i stated earlier, I nandroided back to the stock ODEXED rom and Wireless Tether v2.0.7 worked well with it. It did not initially work with SalvageMod 1.2.1, but I chalk that up to user error. There is a setting for wireless tethering that I was unaware of at the time. Anyway, I can't understand why the app wont work with the OP's Sprint Lovers rom which is basically a deodexed version of the stock rom, but Barnacle's wireless tether app works well for him.

Hey yall, I'm trying to unroot my phone because for some reason, Whenever I try a new rom, any and all tethering is broken. It works on my current rom (Froyo sense) but I wanna give some of the new ones a try.
Tethering is the biggest thing for me on my phone cause that is what I use as my internet connection on a daily basis.
So basically, I figure rerooting may help my issue, any help?
Rooting and unrooting won't change that. Have you looked for workarounds?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
What do you mean by workarounds? Take CM7 for example, Although it is known the Wireless Tether app doesn't work on CM7. I tried using the native tethering and barnacle with no results. This is after multiple restarts and wipes, etc.
I figure that a clean wipe and reroot may help. Sometimes reformatting a computer helps issues, why shouldn't this be the same?
Both wireless and USB tethering work for me with the built in options
