Wireless tether works now but Wired tether doesn't anymore..

the wired tether by the same people doesn't work now i get unsupported kernel

Hello, I'm new hear but im coming from IPHONE and just love the evo 4g, I rooted my evo and it seems to be working and everthing.. but i can't get sprint wifi hotspot working for some reason, it would help if someone could help me in the right direction..
Thank YOU... I'm using ava_froyo_v5
Don't hate me for using this one..
One quick note when i start sprint wifi hotspot it says user id and pass dosen't match.. do i need to use a different program or what..

I'm currently on Fresh 1.0.1 but I've tried Fresh 3.1.0.1 and Cyanmod6 RC-1 with and without nightly updates.
I've tried various combination of kernels too. That said, I've been unable to get wifi tethering to work 100% on any of them as well as wired.
1.0.1 was the only one I could constantly get EVERYTHING working on so I went back.
Not that this post really helps, just saying.

You have to pay to use sprints tether app.
Go use android wireless tether from the market.

Wireless tether to ipad

So just rooted, and downloaded the wireless tether. But for some reason I can't get the ipad to get full ip connection. It connects, just not completely. Anyone else have this issue before?

Guess android and apple don't like messing with each other, lol (just had to put that in)...
But down to your question, have you try connecting a different device to see if you can connect? With your wireless tether on try connecting, like a laptop or other wireless device to see if you can connect. This will give you a better idea Of what's going on.
Did you change any settings for wireless tether?

I had the same issue with my iPod touch. I rooted and tried tethering on the stock rom and had the problem you had. I'm not sure if it was after I flashed a new kernel or a kernel and Fresh 3.2, but the next time I tried it, it worked perfectly. Maybe think about trying a new rom? Not sure of the actual problem.

I've never been able to connect a mobile phone via tether. Never tried an iPad though.

I am running Fresh 3.3.0.1 and my friends Ipad connects to it and works fine. I am using version 2.0.5-pre9 of wireless tether.

i know version 8 wont work with my apple stuff. version 7 works with ipad iphone i know. apparelntly so does 9

I'm running the Fresh 3.3 ROM with wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9 and it works fine with my iPad.

I had a similar problem when I got Wireless Tether. It wouldn't fully connect to anything (win 7, ubuntu, droid 2.1, iphone or macbook) although the devices said they were at least partially connected (except the droid never could see it). Turns out the Wireless Tether app in the marketplace is old/doesn't work for the EVO/Froyo - or something.
Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
And download the latest version (pre9 at the top - after you've uninstalled the old version) and it should work. At least it did for me.

Im running Fresh 3.3.0.1 and the last Wifi Tether that I've downloaded and reinstalled I don't know how many times.
At some point the iPad was working great but all of the sudden it just stopped working.
My blackberry connects to the EVO without a problem.
The ipad connects and disconnects or it just spins while trying to connect even tho the phone says its connected.
Any ideas or any other wifi tethering apps suggestions?
Thanks.

I just rooted my stock EVO running Froyo, and installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9. Although it seems to run fine, and my iPad connects, it can't connect to the Internet. Seems to be a common problem, as there are several people complaining.

Hmm...
I asked my buddy with an iPhone 4 to try and connect the other day and it worked just fine.
Granted, iPhone and iPad are not the same thing, so take that for what it is. Just saying.

I have an iPad and I run CM6+Snap and if you use CM6 DO NOT use Wireless Tether, use it's built in hotspot ability. If you use fresh. I never had a problem using the included version of Wifi Tether.
On stock rooted. Hard to say. I only very briefly use stock rom's. I would guess fresh/etc. make other adjustments to fine tune but not sure.
I do know there is nothing hardware-related that prevent an ipad from seeing android tethering.

One tip I've read about, try using Channel 1.
It does seem to be the best for maintaining connection when experiencing repeated drops.
I've connected to my 2 grandkids' Touchs (or is that touches .. lmao) but best results on ch.1
cheers

i have rooted my phone earlier today using unrevoked 3 and i have install the new version of wireless tether - pre 10 and although it shows my htc evos connection as local or limited connection on my computer, i have yet to gain internet access. it shows limited connectivity and doesnt allow me to go online. i am confused and give up.

yes must agree about channel 1 on on wifi tether. I have iPad ios4.2 beta 2 running on my hook to my evo using standard stock rom 2.2 rooted. Using pre8 edition wifi tether, sometimes starting connection would not connect right away. I suggest toggle wifi-tether on and off about 2 times and give the iPad time to connect, one more thing could try on iPad is utilize forget this network if applicable and see if that helps! Hope all works out okay for you.

Is your pc setup for DHCP?

oh boy, this issue again huh??
i almost returned my evo cuz my ipod touch 3gs wouldnt connect to it. sometimes it saw the connection sometimes it didnt...also it varied whether i had a passcode or not. i just gave up.
also, no phones can connect to it but my computer/laptop can. WEIRD!! i always maintained the latest wireless tether. once i root my phone again ill try this. but i will not get my hopes up.
also,
it sucks so bad that i have stopped using the ipod due to no internet and have gotten in deep with the g/f since she bought it for me...lol

This suggestion seems to have done the trick (toggling). I tried to connect using my old HTC Fuze and had no luck with that either. So I guess that puts doubt that the issue is client side.
I then turned WT off and back on. Lo and behold my Fuze was able to surf. Did the same with my WiFi only iPad.
I'm using the Pre9 version on my HTC stock 2.2 (rooted).

I couldnt get my evo to wifi to my ipad until I install wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre7.
Tried pre11,pre9 and it wouldnt work. As soon as I launched this the ipad connected right away.

Ok.. please excuse the ignorance about anything tethering lol... but can I connect my rooted evo to the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy tab?... and, obviously access theyre hspa+ network?
Thank you.

[Q] Help - Portable Wifi Hotspot not working!

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!!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

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.

[NS4G][Q] Nexus S 4G 4.1.2 / 4.2.2 TETHERING [WORKING]

Im making another thread in the Development section since people with the Nexus S dont care to even try to help with the Nexus S 4G people..
Short and simple is there any Jellybean ROM for the NS4G that has 4G Tethering working?
Please Thank "cloud9utk" for finding this! Post #18
Code:
ok, so i have a NS4G running CM 10.1.2-crespo4G. i run the matrix kernel v25-CM and have gapps.20130812 installed.
i was able to get 4G tethering running with Wifi Tether v3.4experimental1
here are my settings:
Profile: Google Nexus S 4G
Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
"Max Client" - unchecked
"No-tether" - checked
No encryption
Default SSID on default channel (set to 01)
wifi reload 1 - unchecked
wifi reload 2 - checked
all other settings default. you can enable access control and just allow your own devices.
works in 4G just fine.
oddities: when i analyze the wifi signals, all other modes go through without errors on the log, but the wifi never shows up in the Wifi Analyzer graph. but with these settings it shows up, but at channel 06. curious, but it works.
i haven't tried to change the ssid, because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but i'm confident that won't mess it up.
cheers everyone! thanks for all the help! glad i could finally give something back!
PS: it works best when sprint isn't mucking around with their WIMAX network... also, i am on voyager mobile, not Sprint, but it is a sprint mvno. so $50/month unlimited tethering data. hmm..

In 4.1.2 most if not all rooms should be easy to tether off of with the standard wifi tether app I don't have the link handy but it's the common xda-developers one.
For 4.2.1/2 Google changed how tethering works... The only app I found that works is in the market for $. 99...It's called wifi tether router.. It eats most of the ram while running so one app like a music player or texting can be run at the same time but expect to reboot if you disable the tether and want to re-enable it... Also it bugs sometimes and has to be reinstalled... Wpa2 appears to work the best... I use it with slim bean 4.2.2 and it runs on wimax just fine. It does drain the battery at close to 1 percent per minute and beats out the charger in drain just be aware.

I am using the latest WiFi Tether I grabbed from Google and it has been working great. I have been tethering 2 laptops and my other phone on 4g and it hasn't disconnected once.

I could not get WIFI Tether to work with anything after 4.1.1 and the only way to get it to work was to go back to stock 4.1.1. What custom JB roms work with WIFI Tether?

What settings are you using with WiFi Tether? I too have not had any luck in getting it to work with a Jellybean Rom.

This is the only one that works for me currently wpa2 works fine

You were right. I was on 4.1.1 at the time and tethering 4g with no problems. I am going to try the link posted above and see if it works but WiMax is used so little now that tethering 4g might make me stay on 4.1.1 stock. I can customize the extended power menu and battery icons with Xposed mod so it may be OK if the above link doesn't work. I am trying them all on SlimROM 4.2.2 now

This worked for me...
Running stock, rooted 4.1.1 on Nexus S 4G. I've been running up against a wall trying to get tethering to work until I stumbled across this link...
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661
Of particular interest was post #197 and the link to wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk
Be sure to change the device profile to Nexus S 4G. Voila! Tethering works!
(you should uninstall any other tethering apps you may have installed.)

Do you mean this works on 4.2.2 or 4.3? I had Wifi Tether working on the last Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1 but not on anything after.

Yeah I've tried to get Wifi Tether working on 4.2 roms but unsuccessful so went back to stock rooted 4.1.1, as it's the only thing that would work with Wifi Tether. This thread is about trying to get tether to work on a 4.2 or 4.3 rom.

Same here. I tried at least six different 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ROMs and as soon as I activate a tether it errors out. I switched from the odexed stock 4.1.1 to OMJ's deodexed stock 4.1.1 so I can add in inverted gapps and re-odex. I don't know why data is not reconnecting once i turn on any tether app on 4.2.2 but I did get it to work twice which is driving me nuts

Well, on 4.1.1 I can tether on 4g and as soon as I posted my last post, I got the native 3g tether working on one of the newer CM builds... CM10.1.3 RC1 but only 3g as of now

Thanks for all the replies guys, I finally got internet in my house so im going to try and download a couple roms and give it a test for my self.. The only reason i wasnt doing it before was because i was terthering internet from my phone which was my main source of internet and it would have taken 2 hours just to download 1 rom

reviving this to see if anyone has gotten 4G tethering to work on at least 4.2.2

I just finished setting up my HTC One so I will go ahead and try and find a few newer 4.2.2,ROMs and try them. I already downloaded last night's CM nightly so we'll see. I mean it has worked before but I got frustrated toggling it 20 times to get it to lock.
Although I did add all of the 4.2.2 gapps to my 4.1.1 and I am fairly certain that it's all current...but what the hell, I have time today

Awesome, btw i was testing out Hellybean 4.2.2 because someone said they had tethering working in that (Seems to only be 3G Tethering tho)
But after flashing Hellybean 4.2.2, Native 3G Tethering works like a charm
After flashing gApps on top of that native 3G Tethering STOPPED working.(as in i can connect but no data gets sent to my computer)
Ive tried to replicate the problem 3 times so far and each time the same things happens so i believe i just linked the flashing of gApps to our tethering problem, at least the native tethering

[Q] Is WIFI Tether working?

I haven't been able to get my wifi tether working. I've searched for hours but most of the post aren't very recent. I've tried adjusting the settings to many different combinations as mentioned in three other posts. I'm on baseband MC2, JB 4.1.2 and have tried two roms...Swampmonster 2.2/2.3 and Macks Allstar 5.0, as well as using both my PC and laptop to connect. I've used the TrevE mods that come with both roms as well as a couple of apps from the play store.
The same thing happens with every attempt, I connect to the AP but don't get any connection to the internet...DNS server is not responding.
I've recently changed from big red over to sprint and have had my N2 for about a week now. Is this a Sprint thing or is it just my unfamiliarity with my Note 2?
Any help would be much appreciated. Dexter's on tonight.....
Also tried WolfRom and USB tethering, still no connectivity

It's been working for me, basically. I'm on a stock deoxided MC2 ROM with Perseus kernal. I get an error but I don't know what it is, since the log gives another error about no file existing. The error I had before trying to reinstall WiFi and BusyBox was a routing fix failed error.
I used this at work for at least six hours to connect a tablet and laptop. I figure I'm using around 2GB to 6GB each night.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to keep experimenting. I suggest trying with just the defaults settings. See what happens. If not, try changing Driver reloads or none. Unfortunately, it's just a lot of trial and error.

Thanks. I don't give up easily...I'll get it working if possible. I'm just wondering if Sprint is blocking the tether because I connect right away with no errors but the "DNS Server is not responding".

Sprint should be blocking you unless there is something off on your phone. My issue, I think, has to deal with the BusyBox Linux binary library that got loaded. I'm assuming maybe a phone wipe and reflash may fix it.
Yea, I'm near the wine valley, actually. Although, I prefer to be back in San Diego.

I installed Goodness Noteworthy v1.0.8 ROM and get good wifi tethering of 3G. I haven't tested 4G as I don't get it yet.

I'm just running stock rooted MC2 with updated CSC data (Garwyn's) and the separate TrevE version of the Wifi Tether APK works like a charm. My kids just used it on 3G and LTE all the way down I-95 in Florida. Sometimes it would boot them all off when switching from LTE to 3G, but they'd reconnect without issue.
Not sure if that helps you, other than I'm using the very latest MC2 OTA and maybe you're still using a ROM based on the leak? I'm not a dev, so if I'm talking out of my posterior just disregard!

Got it working
I'm still not sure why I had problems when nobody else did on the respective threads for the roms I mentioned above.
I did get it going though...For the touchwiz roms I had to run ISWAT tether unlocker while my tether was active (It's on the Play Store).
Right now I'm running LiquidSmooth's AOSP rom and the native tether works great. I've been bouncing back and forth between nandroid
backups; I like TW most of the time but when I want to tether or am looking for speed/responsiveness I switch over to AOSP.

Just to make sure, have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40234725
I flashed it on deodexed stock MC2 and it works great, even with tablets and an iPod Touch.

I got it working with Treve mod

I've got it working on deoxidized rooted stock rom. I'm using the latest beta from July 20, 2013 (TrevE Mod Wifi Tether. The only setting I needed to change was to Driver Reload 2.

wifi-tethering
Now, I'm also using the Wifi -Tethering . its still working now.
you can find info from rootnote2.com

Is the problem of wifi tether under AOSP rooms on this device totally insoluble?
I've never found an answer to it, only directions to fixing it under TouchWiz or vague changelog entries about having 'fixed wifi tether' on Carbon and such, which did no such thing.
Standard wifi tether app 3.3b2 fails to start an access point. TrevE mod claims to start fine in the app's log, but no access point shows up on a scan. The mobile hotspot function in system settings also starts up, and even let's devices connect, but there's no data transfer.
I understand that there's something bad going on with Samsung's release of wifi drivers, so I'm just hoping that someone somewhere has looked into this.
