I just got my Inc 2. GB 2.3.3. S-OFF'd and rooted.
I loaded up android-wired-tether (its what i used on my eris) and it wont work. WinXP sits and attempts to acquire IP for quite a while, eventually gets an IP but then cannot connect to the internet.
Anyone else have success with this app? or is there another USB tether app out there that is good?
is there a fix?
PdaNet is a good wired app. Or, you could try WiFi tether, excellent wirelesstether app. You'll have to Google it, its not available in the market

^^ what he said.
Do you have HTC sync installed ? I wanna say you have to have that installed on your computer for wired tether because it has drivers you need. Not 100% sure but its worth a try if you don't have it installed.
some dude hacked/fixed the wired tether app

so it works now. just a bummer the maintainers aren't maintaining it.

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

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

Does anybody know what version of the Wireless Tether for root users works with the rooted stock ROM for the Inc2? Tried the latest 3.1 beta (3.1b6) but it doesn't work.
try this
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
Im using the 2.0.7 wireless tether and does not work on my dinc 2, im running tsm_gingerbangsense_2 this is the message. Cannot communicate with DNS server (#########) Network diagnostic pinged the remote host but did not receive a response.
In the network and sharing center i can see this (this computer-Android tether-----x-----)
works fantastic on inc2HD
I found that Open Garden app works just great.
Not being able to communicate with the dns server means your phone can't connect to the internet, so there is nothing to rebroadcast via wifi. are you within a good signal area for 3g, and does your data work in other apps?

Hi OP.
Enable mss clamping and routing fix in settings on the newest beta. You will be up and running in seconds.
I noticed that using power savers may disable tethering. Uninstall those as well.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried multiple tethering apps and none of them work and last time I tried using open garden it broke my 3G and I had to revert to a backup. I'm running MIUI 10.7.
This may be a dumb question, but can root users use the 3g hotspot found in wireless settings for free? Or do I need to download another app.

All depends on the ROM. If you're running the stock ROM but just rooted you'll need another app. Some ROM developers hack the built in app.

I’m trying to find the best app to tether my tablet. I’ve got an ASUS Transformer Prime and it’s WiFi only, no 3G/4G so I’m trying to find the best way to share my internets from my Samsung Galaxy SII. I found this great app called FoxFi but for some reason I can’t just turn my phone into a hotspot and use my Transformer to connect via WiFi. I have to use a companion app on my tablet called PdaNet Tablet and it connect via Bluetooth! I don’t understand how it works, but it is very cool. The only downside is I can only seem to browse the web with connection. If I try to use the mail app or even access the Google Play store, it won’t connect. The only thing it will let me do is surf the net. Long story short, there’s a ton of apps out there, and without wasting my money trying them all I was hoping I could get some feedback here from people who’ve used apps with better success. Any input is welcome, thanks!

Wifi Tether or Barnacle Wifi tether. Bother work very well.Wifi tether shows up on our Market so thats the way to go! I will say if your tethering to a computer Get a older version of pda net 3.0 It is unrestricted. You can get the windows install file too. Google it. You charge phone while tethering.

Some wifi devices can't see adhoc hotspots. Many tethering or hotspot apps can only go into that mode because of the phones limitations. The hotspot app that comes with the phone usually is infrastructure mode. Everything can connect to that. In simple terms, adhoc is like internet connection sharing from a computer. Infrastructure mode is like a wireless router. You could look if someone has a modified wpa supplicant file for the tablet if it can't see the phone. Then it will work. I had to do that to my old galaxy tab in order to connect to the net through the phone.
Yeah I went into settings in my E4GT, and there's a Bluetooth tether option that works great for my tablet. A little slow, but better than nothing. Thanks for the input everyone!
Which wifi tether app from the market are you guys talking about? I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and want to tether it from my epic 4g touch. When i search the market, there are a couple of wifi tether apps but I don't know which one to use. I am not rooted by the way. I just want to tether 3g/4g when I'm at work on my break because I don't want to use company's wifi network.
Foxfi
I've used wifi tether and foxfi. Only difference is u have to pay for the full version of foxfi. But wifi tether doesn't work on some versions. Worked on fi27 but doesn't on fk23

I'm not rooted. Is there one where I don't have to root?
Also, if I do root, will my phone still be secured?
wondering if there is a better USB tether app for ICS,
The team that made the wife tether, had a USB tether that worked great for Ginger Bread, but was never ported to ICS :|

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
I used to use Barnacle on my old Photon, and had no issues with it. Now I'm running it on Lifeless ROM for our phones, and while it doesn't spit out any errors, it certainly isn't functioning the way it should.
Barnacle starts and runs perfectly, even shows " sharing your connection" with no errors at all, but still, no device is able to see or connect to the network. When searching for the Wi-Fi network on any other phone, laptop, etc, it's just not even there, like it doesn't exist.
If anyone is familiar with this app, or knows a way to get it functioning, I'd greatly appreciate any info.

Look up WIFI Tether on google play, there will be one called "WiFi Tether for Root Users" made by "Müller, Lemons, Buxton"
I've been using it for a while no issues so far.

I've used this on my Optimus S Galaxy Nexus and Optimus G and they all work great. This is the best app for tethering. They even have older version to where a certain version works.

yep just got wifi tether for root, barnacle didn't work, and this one i see actually supports WPA as opposed to being limited to WEP, which caused issues with my linux box connecting to it.
Hopefully this is fixed with WPA, we'll find out

I took the advice and tried Wi-Fi tether from the market. Basically does exactly what barnacle did, with a slight change. Now, other devices will see and connect to the Wi-Fi network, but will still not get internet access. Almost like the data service was blocked.
