Flashed the Synergy rom about a week ago and it runs smoothly aside from a couple of issues. The internet app crashes constantly so I dl'ed Mozilla instead. But the main issue is the Wifi Tether. The one built in reboots my phone every time and the Wireless Tether I had installed prior to this rom crashes every time I open it. A fix is highly necessary considering my only source of internet is through my phone. Thanks in advance!!!
This is not a rom issue but a app issue. Try contacting the dev of the app.
Fyi: ( taken from the syndicate files ) you must select epic4g in settings of wifi teather before procasting your signal. If your trying to teather with 4g you must connect with 3g then switch to 4g

I do not believe there has been a solution yet.

if you want FroYo and working wifi tether, I would highly recommend the TeamFenix 1.7.1. I have been using it since it came out, it is very stable. with me being a trucker i use the tether almost everyday. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749312
thanks, great info, are you also using gthe dopio kernel or as is?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
am using the newest of the Dopio 806 kernels
i have tried both the regular release of wi-fi teather (2.0.1 I believe) as well as the pre build that has worked with all the other roms released for the slide, the one reference in the developers section. Both will install and run set-up the first time I open them, but as soon as I click to start tethering my phone reboots.
I do remember that I had to install a different SU from one of eugenes releases to get wi-fi tether working for one of the other roms....but for the life of me I can't remember how I installed just that SU without installing the whole rom. I'm not a developer or even a decently smart guy if you can't tell
Barnacle is an open source wifi tether app in the market that works on windows and Ubuntu. When you start the app, you'll need to hit menu>settings and then check "Skip wpa_supplicant" for it to work. It may take a couple of tries to get it to work. But it works.
Thanks to Hellraz0r for the suggestion in the CM6 thread!
I have not tried CM6 yet, but was having problems with stock.
I installed wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre6.apk and all is well for the stock android at least.
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk will say no internet, but wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre6.apk connects just fine. Could be a similar thing with CM6?
Well barnacle connects I did wat yu said but still doesn't load up the web page see

It's working for me. But, like I said, it may take a couple tries. This does seem to be a pretty "finicky" app. For instance, I fired up Windows and tried to connect to barnacle and the pc said it failed to connect and barnacle disappeared from the list. I hit the "Associate" button in the app tried to connect again after it came back on the list, then it worked. I'm using it right now.
Maybe try turning off your firewall for a minute? Or make it a trusted network?
Edit: I just tested my bandwidth and got this:

I'm not sure why it happens, but whenever I tether, wifi or USB with CM, within 5-10 minutes my Inc loses its data connection. Texts and calls still work though. I've had this issue with every version of CM I've tried. I've tried using Wireless Tether but it still happens. The only tethering app that doesn't cause this to happen is pdaNet, but I don't want to pay for https access. Any ideas as to why this happens?

You might try the cyanogenmod.com forums with this question. I have heard of problems with incredible,CM6.0.2, and wireless tether for root. You might try a different security method.

try the latest version from this page. This is what I'm using and it works fine.
Tested this on 9-11 and 9-13 nightly builds.

Kernel?
I read elsewhere in this forum and others that a kernel can make the tethering wonky. To be fair, I've not had any issue with mine - yet - but the day is still young...
Im on the virus rom (senseless) its amazing other than when I try using the sprint hotspots app that was suppose to be hacked to work. Now the only thing that works is the 3g not the 4g. I want to be able to use hotspots to connect my xbox360 to live.
Thank you in advanced.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
the stock sprint hotspot (yes, even hacked) can't be hacktivated to work on 4g. only 3g. for some reason 4g tethering is more complex and cant be hacked.
THE ALTERNATIVE: download android wifi tether (green wifi symbol) from the market. i use (or used when i was on sense) the stock sprint hotspot for 3g tethering and android wifi tether app when on 4g.
I use that aswell but I get these strange occurances where my phone stops sending data packets, then I have to re-start the wifi app. Is there a data governer that might be stopping my data transfers?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no idea... the stock cm7 and miui hotspots both work perfectly on 3g or 4g htough.
Mmmm....well I don't know what to do, wait did you just say that muiu has 4g power?!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
my bad. cm7 works on 3g and 4g. miui works on 3g.
You made me very happy for a second. I wish miui had 4g. Ill just re-install the android tether app.
Thank you very much.

I had this same problem... android wifi tether app wasn't working with CM7 RC2, and I couldn't get a connection to work in 4G using the built-in tethering... Turns out, it's a bit of a bug, not sure if it's an issue with Sprint, or with CM7, or what, but the fix was this:
Turn on 4G, start up my tether, and then open the browser on the phone, THEN connect to the hotspot. It's mildly annoying, but now works every time
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.

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.

I've tried Barnacle, Sprint Hotspot & WiFi Tether. Sprint Hotspot keeps giving me an Error message. The other 2 can't be detected by my PS3 scans. I've tried with & without password encryption & made sure my SSID was visible. Any suggestions?

Ive had the same problems with wifi tether not being recognized. The hotspot hack does work though but without 4G its like waiting for paint to dry

Funny, this has popped up in the forums for every phone I have owned. Why would someone want to game through a high latency, inconsistant cellphone connection? Trying to play in the motorhome on vacation?
If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.
Not gaming although I did play the Uncharted 3 Beta thru my Vibrant & it wasn't a problem. I just moved and have to wait for Comcast for like 2 weeks. Just want to watch some Netflix

I think what I read on Google says I need to be in Infrastructure mode or something. Idk... But the native wifi tether worked with my Vibrant so I can't imagine why it wouldn't work here.
Thanks for the help fellas. Happy Thanksgiving & all that
