I've installed CM7 RC1 on my Defy. Everything seems to be working OK. It used to have an app called "3G Hotspot" for wifi tethering, but that's no longer presence. Looking at the CM wiki, it says to go to Wireless * network settings » Tethering & portable hotspot, but what I see on my device is Wireless & Networks >> Tethering >> USB Tethering. There does not seem to be any option for wireless tethering. Googling lead me to an app in the market called 'Wireless Tether for Root Users', is that the right way to go? I thought it was supposed to be built-in to CM7.
The app you mentioned works best with cm7

+1 for the Wireless Tether app.
Thanks, I installed the app and it works well. Except it does not have WPA2, but no biggie.
Any ideas why the CM7 built-in support doesn't show up on the Defy?
I have no copy of the old 3G Hotspot. Anyway to get it?
3G Hotspot would be not installed.
I have old 3G Hotsop backup one. but I can not install it. Maybe It works only under Froyo.

How did you back it up and restore? Did you use Titanium Backup or just copy the Mynet.apk? I would like to give it a try too. Thanks.
tethering on x10 mini
hello there,
I got the same problem. I installed CyanogenMod7 on my SE X10 mini and tried to get tethering work. I don´t have the option of wireless tetering too, only USB ethering.
Wireless Tethering for roo Users does not work, too. Something about the Kernel, so this wonderful app won´t work.
Samsung Galaxy S with stock rom an tethering opion already worked to tether 3G to my Asus Transformer. I am jealous and want my X10 mini to do so, too.
Can anyone help me please? I tried several different apps, none worked
Got the same problem
Got the same problem on MIUI.
The 3G hotspot app (Mynet.apk system app) seems does notr work under MIUI, and I thing the same on CM7.
I've deodex Mynet.apk and installed in system/app but nothing.
The WI-FI tether for root users works, but just in ad-hoc mode. No way to use it in infreastucture mode. The strange is that the same app in Eclair and Froyo works in infreastucture mode.
I hope we will have a good infreastucture mode wi-fi tether for 2.3, CM7 and MIUI ...
If so let us know!!!
See you.

Seems since upgrading to cm7, I hafta run wireless tether twice to get it to work...the first time I run it I get the limited or no connectivity on XP, but if I stop then restart tethering it works fine from there.
Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a way to fix it?
same problem here. never works the first time, always works the second time.
but the built in tether app never works and i would like a fix for that as well so i can access it from the toggle menu.
Built in tether app seems to work for me, but I prefer wireless tether for the data counter and access control...
Anyone ever figure this out? I saw a few ppl mention it in the nightlies discussion but didn't see a solution...
Up top again...
I can't go 10 minutes using wifi tether without my phone doing a soft restart or without the app just not working tried beta8-11 all the same, any help would be greatly appreciated...
*also i haven't been getting any 3g although 4g works fine, when i switch to 3g only it give me the blank signal triangle*
(rooted on stock 4.0.2)
Anybody have any idea why this happens or other alternative beside pda net, would prefer something wireless, or should i just flash a custom rom with tethering hack already in it?
Mine has the same issue.

Not sure which are updated for ICS, but have you tried any of the other WiFi Tethering apps? And the built-in Hotspot feature?
Try flashing a new kernel maybe? Could be something in there that doesn't like your stock kernel settings?
my guess its that the gnext actually have some telephony related bugs while you are on a 4g network..and google is aware of this..probably it will be solved soon with the 4.0.4/5 update
For wired I use the built in tethering in the settings. For wireless I use this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
I've used both for over an hour with no problems. LTE, GummyNex ROM, Franco kernel.

I didn't realize that there was a new Beta out. Thanks for the link! The v3_1-pre110 version would drop my connection on a pretty regular basis.
Yes I used the Search feature, still no satisfactory resoultion...
I have rooted several phones over the past few weeks (with different bootloaders), Evo 4Gs, one tethers, one doesn't, Droid RAZRs, both tether, Droid 3s, neither tether (I read the TBH thread, so...), E4GT neither tether (mine included but am running Phantom's Rom so no worries there).
I am at my wits end. The apk(s) used to work before, but as of late I am not having any success at all. Android Tether lists in my networks, my pc and laptop will connect, internet access is detected, they connect but NONE of my browsers are able to connect.
I never had this problem, never had to change any settings in the apk(s), and never had to change my pc(s) configuration. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know what is going on?
HELP ME OBI-WAN KENOBI!
Try FoxFi, free at Google Play. I had issues tethering E4GT. This app works great for Samsung & Motorola. All others, maybe Bluetooth.

Wifi Tether (Im using 3.1 beta11 pulled from Calk's ICS roms) works if you change the device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)". I always enable the access control and allow the pc accessing.
The hacked sprint hotspot has always worked for me on gingerbread as well i prefer it but use the other atm on ICS.
Wifi Tether wont work properly until you change it to thet CDMA/LTE Nexus it gives the same issue you describe without the change.

Ok but what are you running ICS or GB because there is an answer to both.... If you are rooted the stock wifi tether works fine so can we have a little more info although the answers you have gotten so far a pretty damn good.
Thanks
I switched to my Nexus S 4G to give the ICS ROMS a spin and really loved it but missed my E4GT so I recently switched back. I am currently on Phantom's EL26 (Gingerbread) from way back when. I found that the EL 26 modem gives me the best battery life by far and I like the debloated stock because I am running SPB SHELL 3D launcher (cracked-pm me).
I have so many Google Wifi Tether apks on my pc and dug up the wifi_tether_v3_1-pre101.apk and changed the channel to 6. It works now.
The Sprint Hotspot comes fully functional on the ROM that I am on but it was really bugging me that I couldn't get the google wifi tether to work on friends' and family's phones. There must be a bug in the newest release or something.
FIFOX said that HTC has a block on wifi tether when I tried to install it on my friend's Evo 4G.
I am going to use the TBH thread to change the radio strings on my friend's Droid 3 so he can tether. We'll see how that goes later today.
-worked like a charm; rewrote the strings with RadioCom and changed the entitleent with sqlite editor, using the most recent google wifi tether apk on chanel 6.
Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna hit the thanks button for you all.
PEACE!
My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
Hello all, I have been trying to find a working wifi tether for my Optimus G. I have tried the Wifi tether app, and it works, but once I turn it off, I can't enable it again until I restart my phone. It also corrupts my wifi driver until I restart my phone.
I have also used the built in wifi tether mod used within cyanogenmod(and it's modded roms), and it works beautifully, but I just don't like using the roms it's built into.
I have also tried Barnacle with no luck.
So, is there any other solutions to Wifi tethering applications(Not usb or bluetooth)? Is it possible to flash or remove the wifi tether part of cyanogenmod for use with the stock(or lifeless) rom?
Anyways, thanks guys
For stock ZVB, that's a flaw we have to live with still. Nobody has fixed it yet that i know of. WiFi OR Tether per reboot.
As for cm, i don't know. So i can't help you there.
