pre 8 has been working for me

Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.
If it's a 2.1 ROM, the suggestion above should work.

Make sure you have the android.tether fold on the root of your sd card. I am running skyraider 2.5.2 and wireless tether is working for me.

This isn't needed for the newer Pre versions however.

I've practically given up on this WiFi Tether.. it's worked for me once before, now I can't seem to get it working.
I'm running SR3.0 RC3, King #1 and S-OFF.
I've used both 3G Hot Spot on the SR 3.0 RC2 & 3, and the one from the app market... I modified the ##778 settings and still nothing... I don't see the folder mentioned above and not sure where to obtain it to try that out in my troubleshooting, but any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure it's because the tethering comes standard with 2.2 and all its data usage will be connected to a plan now... I tried to use it last night to connect an iPod touch and the iPod was redirected to a page about billing information.

Well that sucks.

The ##778 method works on stock 2.2 DIncs too. I just upgraded last night, did the wifi hotspot hack and it works like a charm.

I've noticed since upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2, the Wireless Tether app has changed to ad-hoc and doesn't seem to work quite as well.
I've seen some suggestions to updating to "pre 8" and using codes such as this:
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible
How do you get the pre 8 version, and what do you do with the code above? I'd love to get the tether app back up to speed.

[Q] Wifi tether not working on evo 2.2

I am not certain on how many people share the same situation but here's what's going on. I rooted my evo with unrevoked 3 and flashed unrevoked forever, I'm not that new to modifying my evo but when I try to use any wifi tether they seem not to work in any way. The wifi appears on the computer but no connection as in to loading a webpage is possible, the sale happens when attempting to make a connection with my iPad from the evo NO CONNECTION. I gave a visit to the wifi tether app web pages and they only seem to support 2.1 well known as eclair. Can someone help? What is the real glory in turning s off and rooting if your main mission as of obtaining free wifi tether cannot be obtained? XDA DEVELOPERS you guys are awesome when it comes to mobile solutions and even more with android, please lend me a hand ( not literally ) to be able to go on with my normal life and use free wifi tether.

download "wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk" and see if that works for you. it works for me. YOu can google that with the quotes and you should find it

Thank you sir!

I have a stock EVO that I ran unrevoked on last night, it rooted fine. I downloaded wireless tether for root users and on mac it shows the ssid but when I connect I get no internet, it says, "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.". The IP I get is 169.254.20.214
Is anyone else able to connect to their Android Hotspot with a Mac?

Where did you get the wireless tether app? From the market? If so, uninstall it and try one of the later versions from the google code page (pre7 or pre8). I'm running the 2.0.5-pre7 version and have no problem connecting a mac (well, hacintosh to be completely accurate) to it but I never could get the market version (2.0.2) to work.

They're up to pre11 already???
I just installed pre9 less than two weeks ago and that was the newest at the time!
I have trouble too. What I do is run it and turn it off. Repeate two or three times and finally it will let me surf using my iPad.
Will have to try pre11!

[Q] Rooted 2.2 and wireless tether on the Dinc

I'm trying to run wireless tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) on a Droid Incredible which has been updated to stock 2.2 and then rooted. I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 9 and everyting seems to work and I can connect to the phone from my laptop (running Win XP), but then I can maybe sometimes load a single web page and then I get timed out connections. It seems that DNS resolution is working as I get answers from nslookup in a command window.
Is anyone else having problems getting wireless tethering working? The web pages I've found on the subject seem to be from before Froyo came to the Dinc, even the Google project page doesn't mention 2.2.

Have not tried Wireless Tether with 2.2 since I can use the 3G Wirelecc Hotspot that comes with 2.2. All you need to do is this:
1. On your phone, bring up the dialer and dial ##778. This will load EPST.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Enter 000000 for the password.
4. Select SECURITY.
5. Select the username that has [email protected].
6. Edit the username to read [email protected] (delete "dun.").
7. Click the back button to return to the list.
8. Select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
10. Click on MENU and select COMMIT.
You will not be charged for its use.

Thanks, I just tried that and got it working, but I thought that using the Google code was a little safer that it would never be accidentally switched back to paid mode.
I also noticed that when I tried to change the ssid or password that whenever I left the config screen and came back they were back to default values. Have you been able to change the 3g hotspot ssid/password?

Yu have to have a computer link first and then it will keep the settings. Do not know why they set it up this way.

Thanks, got it changed now - in fact I'm using that connection now.
Does this mean the wireless tether project is totally obsolete?

No, for those who do not have 2.2 yet, it is still an option (and a good one). Some people just like using it over the 3g Wireless Hotspot. I have used both and prefer the 3G Wireless Hotspot. I have no issues with it and get easy connects.

Is the equivalent procedure for the Droid X known yet? I've got a friend who just got his X updated to Froyo.

I do not know. Do a search for ESPT for the Droid X and see if it has a simular setup. If it does, the same changes should work for it.

Any updates on this? I'm on a rooted 2.2 incredible and wifi tether will not play with my ipad. Based upon what I've read, the issue surrounds the fact that the mac address refreshes on the app while the ipad does not like this and most ad hoc connections. I've heard that activaiton hack for the stock mobile wifi is no longer valid. Anyone else tethering?
Thanks,
Tremont

The stock 3g hack still works also wireless tether pre15 works perfect for me

3g Hot spot
I just got my DINC and installed PDAnet to thether and have found that the hotspot works, but doesn`t allow me to go to secure sites, when I do this it brings up the Verizon page for subscribing for $20. I have done nothing other than install
PDAnet( the free version).

Zexel, follow the instructions on comment #2 of this thread and you'll be all better.

Does Defy support WiFi tethering?

If not is there an app that will enable it?
Thanks

not officially since atm it is running 2.1 but you can wifi teather if you root your phone then install and ap such as barnicle wi fi teather works well for me

Installed Barnicle and it appears to be running but niether my Vista laptop or my Win7 netbook see it.

I bought mine from Germany, and it too had the "3G mobile hotspot"-app. I´ve tried it, but can´t make it work properly. Not that I put that much effort into it...
The USB-tethering is working just fine though, I´m using it right now.

My Defy from Austria has given me no trouble using wifi tethering.
Though WPA2 encryption didn't work for some reason, it worked flawlessly with WEP.

Is there any chance you can upload it here?

Downloaded and tried to install but for some reason it won't. It is the 3G mobile hotspot app though. Guess it's only for European Defys.
Edit: After further research I found an app called Wireless Tether 2.0.5. Works great. There is supposed to be a newer version(2.0.6) but I can't find it on the market.

Thank you for posting that link! I am new to Android and "rooting" cell phones. after rooting my Defy I was spinning my wheels finding a teather program that worked. That program is awesome!!!!!
Thanks again. I now have the perfect phone - beach resistant, work resistant, email, apps and it now has tethering. Now i get to use my iPhone and Blackberry Bold for door stops!

I've been using the stock wifi tethering app since got the phone - works sweet for me

There is no stock wifi tethering app for the US T-Mobile Defy.

Tethering via motorola's 3g mobile hotspot application works fine, same for the usb tethering (without any changes, rooting etc.).
But one thing I found was that the data traffic via tethering is not counted. It neither shows up in the internal traffic counter nor in applications like 3G watchdog. I couldn't really figure out any reason for this! Anyone else a clue?

Happy to report that the 3G Mobile Hotspot app comes standard with the T-Mobile 2.2.1 ROM and works great.

Where can I get this ROM.

Just confirming what JamesDax mentioned. Android-Wifi-Tether 2.0.6 works well with my Defy (rooted stock ROM) and Windows 7 laptop as a client so far without issue. I had skipped over it until his post because I could find no evidence of the Defy having 'netfilter' support as required by the application. Based on JamesDax's postI figured I would give it a shot. (Thanks James!). Note: the only encryption it offers is WEP 64 which is very weak. App is worthy of a donation.
I also tried Barnacle Wifi Tether previously and it would behave as if it were working but the SSID could not be detected by any client I tried. I tested various settings in an attempt to get it working to no avail. I do believe it's something to do with it's interaction with the Defy as it seems to work on various other devices properly from reading reviews and discussions on the app.

Barnacle working mighty fine here (jboogie's Froyo Beta 2).

Worked fine for me over GPRS, WCDMA and HSDPA. Of course it's slow on GPRS. I think it depends on your provider / signal /data plan whether this is a viable option for you.

Just tried the app that was previosly posted and it works great connected really fast to my laptop

Can't get Foxfi/Mobile Hotspot to work stock, will root definitively make it work?

Hey guys, I just bought myself a HTC One V to upgrade from an Optimus V on VMs Beyond Talk plan. The Optimus severed me well for a while but the internal storage limitation and general sluggishness of the phone prompted me to update. One thing it handled very well though was running Foxfi so I could tether my iPad to it, which actually became my main reason for using the phone other then internet radio and talking. However, this is something that is not working out-of-the-box on my HTC One V, even using Apex Launcher to reveal the hidden "Mobile Hotspot" application on the phone will not work and does the same thing (allows hotspot to be created, lets devices connect, but does NOT allow internet access to the devices) So before I send this back and return to the safety of my Optimus V I'd just like to know for sure if one of the many root-needed tether apps out there will allow an iPad to connect to a mobile Wifi hotspot created by this phone (not USB or bluetooth DUN) because I see many posts out there that state rooting did not help the issue. Thanks in advance guys, keep up the good work.

Do restore factory it may work.
hit thanks if I helped u!!!

If not, one of the many gurus around here can help you to safely unlock the bootloader and root your phone... believe me, once you jump in the pool, you don't wanna get out. For any general assistance in that area, feel free to also message me as I am more than happy to help you out.

I rooted my gf's virgin mobile htc one v and absolutely no tethering apps work. Also there are no responses to the tethering threads on the forum. So much for the gurus

I've been trying to get wifi tethering working on stock roms and it hasn't been going well, however, I'm on PACman rom right now with wifi tethering working like a charm

I'm running the rooted stock rom and the standard yellow wifi tether app works fine for me. Sometimes it will randomly go down and have to be restarted but not more than once a day. Also I've never been able to get FoxFi to work on this phone yet.
Settings I use if this helps you guys who can't get it working:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
WiFi-driver reload: on
Routingf fix: on

what is the "standard yellow wifi tether app" ?

The app he is referring to is: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Use the settings he mentioned in his post. Your device does need to be rooted but I can confirm that it will allow tethering with no problem on stock ROM.

Thank you!!!! I had rooted my One V today and tried a few tether apps but none of them worked. Remembered I made this thread a while back asking about it and figured I should check it out. This was the first app I tried and of course it didn't work, but I applied the settings you suggested and now works like a charm!! Will still probably flash to something else but just knowing it works on stock is reassuring. Much appreciated!

I'm in the same boat, I posted here long time ago and decided to check again today and it looks that there is a fix now. So how do you like the phone over the LG Optimus V? I bought the HTC ONE V a couple of months ago but didn't activate it because I need the tethering once in a while. How did you root it?

Wifi hotspot only works on JB roms it seems.
