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.

I have recently installed SkyRaider 3.0 Vanilla on my phone, and I had read somewhere that the Wireless Tether application will still work, even though the stock 3G Hotspot does not.
I can start it up, and turn the tethering on, but I can't connect to it to anything..

Thank you for the quick reply. I thought I was the only one. I love skyraider
It's working great for me on uncommon sense. You'll probably get a better answer if you post in the skyraider thread.

What problem is there with the 3G Wireless Hotspot?
Og, I'm not using the same rom a you but I use hydrakernel v0.5.
This may help? Do a nandroid...
If your rom is based on cm6, then don't use my kernel, per the warning on hydrakernel.net
Try using the latest version from the developer's code site instead of the one from the marketplace.

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've been having problems with my wireless tether for root users app.
I have my g2 temp rooted by visionary and downloaded wireless tether 2_0_6 but when I activate wireless tether the download speed will only go to .4mbps and the upload speed will be worse. It says wired tethering seems to be running and I need to get rid of it but what does that mean? I have PDAnet installed also if that's got anything to do with it.

Did u uninstall pdanet? I read in the forum that having that installed breaks the wireless tether app.

I uninstalled it but it still did the same thing :/
Does wireless tethering come with cyanogen mod?
It's still broken in CM7. It's on the list of things to be done before RC

Really I don't think so. Currently running. Nightly #25 build in wireless tether works like a champ. But eats my batt really fast.

Try Barnacle Tether. It's free in the market.
From my experience, Wireless Tether only really works well with Sense roms and Barnacle only really works well with AOSP. I usually keep both just in case.
Also, if you want to, try uninstalling and re-installing Wireless Tether. This will force the program to re-config itself for use on that particular software. Could help, I don't know.
Okay thanks ill try that

You can use the native hotspot. if you use the wireless tether it says error, and you just need to reboot to fix it, don't use wireless tether; barnacle is okay though.
Just tried that (unloading Wireless tether and reverting to the 2.0.5 pre8 version and still get the following errors - all 'failed":
Activating WIFI interface
Setting ad hoc mode
setting essid
setting channel
I am using RC 7 (final)
the native app doesn't work either - didn't try barnacle yet
Thanks
Same thing happened to me a while ago

Did you reboot and try built in like roxxorz said? Wireless tether is not going to work at all.

I rebooted and the native ap now works
I also downloaded Barnacle and that works as well (with a mention on the upgrade notes about an EVO patch)

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?

Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.
Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.
I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.
