ok, so im in jacksonville this week for a golf tournament and i wanted to see what the big deal is with 4g. so, i swapped from cm6.1 over to virusrom anthraX. ok, i can connect to 4g no problems and it works great/fast on the phone but everytime i try to tether either wirelessly with wireless tether my comp will not connect but if i turn off 4g, it will connect. anyone have any suggestions for this?
naitive wireless tether with caulkin's hack simply will not work over 4g. try an app.
umm yea, i know this. i was using wireless_tether_2.0.2 but i fixed it upped to 2.0.5 and its good
I have previously used the Haxpresso ROM to make wifi calls because i get absolutely zero service where i live. I noticed the cm7 has wifi calling. But cm7's wifi still doesnt work for me even after RC4 and flashing the new radio. Bascially, i want a cyanogen rom with wifi calling. if you can help me install it in cm6 or get a permanent wifi fix for cm7, i will worship the ground you walk on. Please, i hate stock espresso. i want some CM goodness!
I haven't heard any news of people getting Wifi Calling to work with CM6.
Maybe you wanna just keep trying different Nightly's? Also, I didn't think my wifi was working either, but I restarted my phone with wifi on and after... well I think a while it started to pick up on networks.
do the wifi .lib files adapt over time? like, with multiple reboots, would the wifi problem eventually fix itself?
Just downloaded the lateset Synergy ROM, very nice. However I tried using the Hotspot app in conjunction with 4G and it just sends my 4G into a scanning loop. Hotspot does work on 3G though. Anyone else have this issue?
I've never seen the app (or the non-sprint one) work on any rom with 4G.
The "hacked" hotspot feature on custom roms is does not work with 4G, however, the paid hotspot feature does. To get around that limitation, either pay Sprint to use the feature or download and install the Wireless Tether app which works just as well as the hotspot feature and works very well with 4G.
Took the leap 2 days ago and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch using Odin and the Zedomax v3 kernel. Root went fine and after a short minute I was rooted and installing Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro and Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Having (free) wifi tethering is a must for me as I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi version 32GB Grey) and need network access when out abroad and in the car. After installing the app from the market, I promptly opened it up and started tethering with all of the default settings (no encryption, ssid = AndroidTether, access control is disabled). The app shows that tethering is activated with no errors and broadcasting the signal. Now I switch to my SGT10.1 and open up network settings but there is no AndroidTether network seen. I refreshed multiple times and still nothing. So I grabbed a few other wifi devices (laptop, blackberry) and still, no AndroidTether network is seen.
I have checked the in-app Wireless Tether Log and there are no errors or failures. I have tried rebooting the SGSIIE4GT and still have same issues. I flashed back to stock kernel (rooted) and still have the same issues. Then removed root, rooted agin with Odin to Zedomax v3 and still same issues. Went to the distribution page for Wireless Tether and downloaded other beta and prior stable versions of the app and still same issues.
Soooo.... then I thought, maybe the hardware that broadcasts the wifi signal is busted. So I flash back to stock, unroot and go to sprint today. They activated my Sprint Hotspot service and BOOM! Pull out my SGT10.1 and the network is right there. Connect to it and it works just fine.
What is frustrating is my brother bought an SGSIIE4GT as well, we have the same hardware versions and running the same ROM and kernel and he can tether with no problems.
Not sure what could be causing the problems but hope I can get it sorted soon. Would very much appreciate any insight from anyone on new things to try. Anyone even having the same problems?

My guess it is because the Galaxy Tab doesn't support ad-hoc wifi tethering, which is what the wifi tethering app you're using broadcasts in. Had the same problem when I was trying to use it with my Touchpad. You will need a tethering app that supports infrastructure mode to be able to tether to your tablet.
Fortunately, Necrosan has been able to hack the built in Sprint Hotspot app (that uses infrastructure mode) to get free 3g tethering. That thread is here [HACK] [EG30] Hotspot Hack (3G Only for now)
You will need to be rooted and be using a deodexed EG30 rom, but there a quite a few of those around. I'm using [ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 and it is working great for me. Haven't even had LOS yet.
After you get all this done you should be able to use the Sprint Hotspot app and tether to your Galaxy Tab. Mine has been working great with my Touchpad so far. Hope this helps!
:-\
My brother (as stated above with the same hardware and software) tethers just fine to his SGT10.1 and his iMac....

To make sure its really broadcasting you should use a laptop or another computer with wifi to look for the SSID. If you see your device then the problem is probably the one stated above. If not, then there is definitely something else wrong
EDIT: just read that you already tried this. Sorry man, don't know what to tell you :/ If the Sprint Hotspot worked then I would just used the hacked version I mentioned previously to avoid paying monthly for it
Thanks for the responses, will give this a go sometime this week. Thanks for your help mate.

I've found that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" does not work for me on the ET. It acts like it is, but I can never see the SSID.
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether, it is working great for me.
Try this hopefully it works. I am getting my SGII today and this is main reason for rooting...
Does 4g work when you tether?

Barnacle did not work for 4g on my Evo so it may not work now. I believe it only handled 3g
Hi All,
I'm at my In-Laws place and trying to in-law's phone working with wifi tether. Phone is rootedi have tried both the normal wifi tether apk as well as the TrevE mod with auto, generic, ICS (both settings) and the Epic 4G Touch settings and have not been able to get it to work.
Could someone please tell me what settings I should use to get wifi tether to work on this phone? I've been scouring the web like crazy and can't find anything.
All help is graciously appreciated!
Thanks!
Salil
