Try "android-wifi-tether", version 3.1 beta 7. Go into settings and set device profile to the S2.
Worked fine for me this a.m.
So it appears to be working with android-wifi-tether however I permanently have the "Security policy restricts use of Internet Sharing" showing on my screen (when I activate the tether) until I reboot the phone, can anyone else on Juggs 5.0 confirm they have tethering manager in titanium backup or can they get Wifi Tethering to work without the feature added to their account?

Did you enable wifi encryption? While in the app, click on the MENU KEY>SETTINGS>and select ENABLE WIFI ENCRYPTION...by default, the key is "abcdefghijklm" but you can set it to any 13 character string...I'd recommend just using the default 1st

Did you try enabling wifi encryption? I use it at work everyday when I set up the VPN client on users laptops. You can't hit the VPN gateway from w/in the network, so I use the wifi tether app to login from outside the firewall and it works great!
The wifi hack is nice since it is the stock wifi tether app being used.

I like it that way better so I can use my control widget to turn it on and off from my home screen.

It does not because the person(Necrosan) that is being given credit for the 3g hack states in his thread since he does not have 4g in his area to do testing. You can go on his thread and see if you can be a tester so that we may be able to get the hack going. But for now you would need a third party app to use 4g tethering unfortunately

Just an FYI. After I uninstalled the tethering manager and rebooted phone I no longer had mobile data or calling or any connecion via the radio.
I had to install it back from the stock back up. Once I did and rebooted it went back to being fine.
In case anyone else runs into this doing the above.
just a reminder, you don't have to uninstall. just freeze using TI Backup, works the same way, but safer.

I have the free version and freeze is not an option. But I am new to TI backup and just grabbed it from the market.

i'm currently tethered just fine. the only issue i see is that the only way to start tethering is through the settings menu (which is fine... i don't want to start it on accident anyway).

It's tethering manager if you're tethering via USB cable. It's wifi sharing/wifi manager if you're tethering via wifi hotspot. He's not wrong, and neither are you.

I just tested on digital warfare using wifi tethering with and without wifi sharing and wifi manager frozen. It works both ways. I do not know if this is the case universally because I know tdj took tethering manager out by default and I don't know if he made mods allowing to use wifi tethering without removing those apps. Bottom line: removing those does not compromise your ability to use wifi tethering. But to be safe, you should just freeze them instead of remove so if you do find they do something critical then you can restore them
i read a bunch of threads regarding this. deleted wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager (nandroided first obviously).
will report back if there are any problems. just tethered and watched some vids online. kies air also ran... dont see any issues yet.

What update do you need? Its simple just freeze the apk with titanium and tether your heart out. Oh ya and I never freeze it , I just delete it and never had any issues.
Tmobile was offering a free tethering promotion for awhile there. All you had to do was call and get it added(just like with the free wifi calling promotion). It feels weird to tether without circumventing something Lolol.

I've looked into this quite a bit... yes you have to install other tether apps -- also jamcar, make sure wifi is off before turning on tether, and it has to be open encryption, at this time, encryption is bugged. I'm still trying to find out what I can about how android-wifi-tether works to see where it's looking for files to get access contro/encryption, i'm waiting on a reply from the dev... good luck

I recommend using native tether. Others have had problems getting tethering to work with third-party apps. Even having a tethering app installed without using it can break tethering.
ok but the native tether doesnt work, like i can connect to it but i cant use the internet
Not sure. I used it with my TF300, and it worked fine. Do you have a firewall app installed or something similar? I could imagine something like Droidwall or Lookout or something blocking the connection.
