Any way to change Default Tethering app? Im trying to use this app called remote viewfinder for a Samsung Digital camera(App enables you to see what your camera sees and you can take a picture etc...) and when I run the app it tries to use the Sprint Hotspot App which currently doesn't work in my Rom at this moment.... But my Wifi tethering app seems to work... I wanted to change the default so that it uses WIFI tethering and Not sprint Hotspot.
Currently using Calukin Rom latest version

I have a rooted Droid Incredible running Cyanogen 7. I have never been able to get the built in wireless hotspot functioning even when I was running Cyanogen 6. Here is what is happening:
I can turn on the wireless hotspot feature and my laptop is able to see the SSID. When I try to connect the connection is unsuccessful. It looks like it it hanging at obtaining an IP address.
I was able to get the Wireless Tether app from the market to work but when I use it I have to turn it on once then turn it off then turn it on once again in order to be able to connect to the SSID. The other issue is that when I activate it my notification bar shows the Wireless Tether connection active as well as an icon for the built in wireless tethering. Its not a big deal but it clutters my notification bar and it annoys me.
Can someone give me some help getting my build in wireless tethering working?
The problem with the built in tether is once you go over a certain limit verizon will start charging you, so I would recommend using the free tether app man.

What would be the difference between wireless tether app and the wireless tether built in to cm7? Why would Verizon charge for one but not the other?

Because Verizon gets notified when you use the built-in tether, if you use the one on the market they will beverages know.
I stopped using cm7 because of that same tether issue, but for me the internet wouldn't work at all, my pc would connect to the "android tether" just fine, but no internet feed.

As I understand it the only way you would be charged is if you're using Verizon's tethering app, which is separate from the built in tethering in CM7.
Yes, this is true, but even with that my pc and 360 would connect with it, but still no internet. But with any other Rom (stock included) it would work beautifully!!!!!

I noticed this for the first time today with CM7 which I installed on Friday. Will have yo try the new final to see if the wireless tether works. Would be very disappointed if it doesn't work! I don't want to go back to Virtuous.

I don't really use it but I tested it and it works fine for me.
I guess I don't really mind using the wireless tether app from the market but there are issues.
1. How do you stop both icons from showing in the notification tray?
2. How do you stop the app from showing updates with the new market? The newest versions don't work on the incredible.
Last night I updated my Tablet S to release 5 and saw that it came with a new app Xperia Link. This app allows the tablet to link to certain Xperia phones and use the phones connection. I first tried to download from Play Store and got the message that I couldn't download from either my area or provider. Did a bit of searching and found the apk in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895345
I installed the apk and it installed a new Wi-Fi Hotspot. This hotspot works through bluetooth so I paired my phone to my Win 7 computer and then from the bluetooth device screen selected the Connect Using -> Access Point.
Works great with one exception. I can't use my corp VPN desktop software seems ports are blocked. Will try phone VPN setup next. With the 4G connection the download speed is faster than my TW home connection.
are you on international ics? i tried installing and running and it said device unsupported for tethering?
It didn't work for me either, I am using the AT&T stock rom rooted.

I've been using ParanoidAndroid on my Note II and recently I realized that wifi tethering does not work. The service indicates it is active but it does not transmit a wireless network name, so no device can connect to it by wifi. Bluetooth tethering works. I have tried 3rd party rooted apps and they indicate that the cannot run because ad-hoc mode cannot be entered. Is there anything I can do like change the kernel or some other mod or app that is able to run tethering? Or do I need to just wait for the developer to provide an updated rom that fixes this?
wifi tethering doesn't work
that's exactly what i'm getting too, error starting ad-hoc mode... hope this gets fixed :crying:
I'm using Task650's ROM and it has the feature to set the phone as a hotspot but it will switch the wifi off on my phone. I'd like to be able to use wifi when needed. Is that possible?
Does anyone have a working method that will allow to use WIFI tether on the Tmo network?
Unlike most carriers Tmobile and Metro PCS don't block hotspot however they do limit you to 5/8 GB after that they slow you down.
Im using Android N 7.0 and I've spent countless hours trying to bypass the T-Mobile tether throttle but most guides I've found are from like 2014 that no longer work.
What works:
- PdaNet+ APP
Download it from the play store and using it through USB with "Hide tether usage" is the fastest way to enable tether, HOWEVER its through USB PC only.
- TetherVPN APP
First download the app from the play store.
Second get any VPN provider (paid or free app like opera VPN, turbo VPN or Open VPN)
Third connect to the VPN network -> tun on your default hotspot from setting -> open TetherVPN app and click "Wifi Tether" -> Profit Side Note: this option works with iPhone latest IOS update but you need jailbreak PMme)
Although this second method is wireless the speed limits are significantly slow some as slow as 3mbps compared to 40+Mbps I regularly get.
Hope this helps!
There no "Wifi Tether" optiion in TetherVPN for me, any ideas?
I found a way to do it, email me [email protected]
Just wanted to say thanks for this:
