Ok i am having trouble with getting the right tethering app for this rom.I have been searching since the 26th for a tethering app that works right,I have used barnicle,easy tethering(works but not wireless),Wireless Tethering(Saids starting but also logs error)Im needing a wireless tethering app that will actually work like its suppose to because my phone is the only way i can use my internet and me and my wife normally use it on both of our laptops at the same time.Im not A verizon customer.I personally flashed my Dinc 2 to Cricket.I do have a tethering plan but since i flashed from 2.3.3 rom my wireless tethering doesnt work..Barnicle works sometimes but connection speed is 11mbs when stock tethering was running 54mbs...The app is really slow and then when me and my wife gets on from our laptops at the same time it acts like it kicks me or her off to run on just one laptop at a time...Can someone please help???Does anyone know how i can fix this or is there a app that im not finding that actually works like system 3g Hotspot???Thank yall
No network
I flashed this ROM last night and lost any network connection, not sure why, could connect over wifi, I'm hoping thee is a fix for the tethering because I use the phone for internet at work and use Barnacle, which has always worked flawlessly.
Barnacle works fine as far as I can tell. Using it now.
I'm using barnacle as well, but you only get ad-hoc mode. Has anyone had luck with wifi tether or opengarden or any of the other apps? I need to get on my work VPN, but it doesn't connect through ad-hoc, so barnacle is no good for that.

Well.
Rooted/Rom'd/Kernel'd my phone earlier today, went just fine (netarchy 421more beta, ava v10).
Only problem is when i wifi tether, the 3rd party apps won't work. Sprint's hotspot works fine but when i try to connect with barnacle/a couple others it connects, then about 10 seconds after connected i lose internet access, but the wireless signal is still being recieved. I fiddled with settings etc and no luck.
Sprint's stock app works fine, and 3g tether is my primary connection source as i live in the middle of nowhere (good for everything but fps games, 200ping not cool). My connection shows 3 {+/-1} bars most of the time, speeds top out at 200kb/s dl. If i use sprint's hotspot app in my rooted phone do i still have to pay 30$/m for the hotspot service?
i don't recall any outside links in my post. (edit, declares all (at) symbols outside links.)
edit; lack of responses. easier question; Does a rooted phone using sprint's hotspot app still have to pay 30$/mo for use of it?

ok, so your using barnacle to do you tethering. Unless sprint hotspot is unlocked with calkuins hack, then yes you will have to pay for the tethering using, i believe it wont work if havent already paid for the feature. I suggest checking back with the Original Poster's ROM thread. Try using wireless tethering! the best out there, try this link
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Note: all the PRE-releases are EXPERIMENTAL, and can cause Fcs (force close) so if you dont feel comfortable with a pre-release, dl a stable set, ex: 2.02 (something like that) give me back results if this works for you bro.
ava v10 came with the latest version of that, i don't understand why it isn't working correctly.
I can connect/recognize but as soon as i try to load a page it goes using that.
That'd be with 100% signal strength + connected and "no internet access"

ava 10....haha, ok. The sprint hotspot it hacked. Whatcha do is:
1)activate wireless tethering, and sprint hotspot should activate too.
2)connect to your wireless tethering, not the hotspot,then turn off wireless tethering, and your pc will lose the connection.
3)try turning wireless tethering back on, and connect as fast as possible. It should go through this time. Happens to me and a few others that run roms with calkuin's tether hack.
Report back with result.
if you need more help, you can contact me via Talk. (gmail account)

yeah... that didn't work either, do you know of a way to unlock sprint 3g hotspot/wifi tether without changing to his rom?
otherwise i'll just load his up as i don't really have another option...

well lets fix this, you are new right? what kind of rom are you wanting so i can give you the link to a good rom.
Just look for MIUI 11.12 or 11.19
Virus base and Virus Anthrax series
also FRESH
Myn's WARM twopointwo
and another good rom is CM 6.1
last but not least Ultimate Droid
I'm picking up the Motorola Xoom Wifi when Sam's Club gets it this month (hopefully), and I'm playing around with my options for wifi tethering on my Evo. I'm running mikfroyo 4.5, and I feel that the hacked sprint hotspot offers the best battery life and internetspeeds, but it doesnt support 4g. Sometimes I'll be in an area where 4g speeds are in excess of 1 megabyte (yes byte) per second and want to take advantage of that. The wireless tether for root users seems to drain and heat up the battery quite a bit and it doesnt seem as fast as the sprint hotspot app. Short of paying sprint an extra 30 bucks a month (at which point I'd rather just activate the xoom under verizon) what do you recommend?
No preferance?
Unfortunately those are pretty much your only options. Easy Tether, Wireless Tether, or the hacked stock tether. There's no way around it, wifi tethering uses a lot of battery. Your phone is using both the 3g/4g radio and the wifi radio.
Now after using unrevoked does the hotspot work or do you have to flash a rom that has the hotspot hacked.
If you are rooted than you can just download wireless tether from the market.
Wireless tether is undoubtedly faster because it supports 4g. I found my phone only really gets too hot whem I download several gigs worth of data. Ive had my phone creep past the 140° f mark, at that point some internal safety thing kicked on and stopped the phone from charging. Phone survived without any notable longterm damage, but it was scary

If you stay on the stock rom, you will have to download Wireless Tether. The sprint hotspot only works for free with other custom roms.

It would help if you told us what method you are using to tether. Wireless Tether, stock tether, etc...
It seems to be wireless tether. Its broken for a lot of users on CM7 at this point; I'd recommend using the built in hotspot.
Took the leap 2 days ago and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch using Odin and the Zedomax v3 kernel. Root went fine and after a short minute I was rooted and installing Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro and Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Having (free) wifi tethering is a must for me as I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi version 32GB Grey) and need network access when out abroad and in the car. After installing the app from the market, I promptly opened it up and started tethering with all of the default settings (no encryption, ssid = AndroidTether, access control is disabled). The app shows that tethering is activated with no errors and broadcasting the signal. Now I switch to my SGT10.1 and open up network settings but there is no AndroidTether network seen. I refreshed multiple times and still nothing. So I grabbed a few other wifi devices (laptop, blackberry) and still, no AndroidTether network is seen.
I have checked the in-app Wireless Tether Log and there are no errors or failures. I have tried rebooting the SGSIIE4GT and still have same issues. I flashed back to stock kernel (rooted) and still have the same issues. Then removed root, rooted agin with Odin to Zedomax v3 and still same issues. Went to the distribution page for Wireless Tether and downloaded other beta and prior stable versions of the app and still same issues.
Soooo.... then I thought, maybe the hardware that broadcasts the wifi signal is busted. So I flash back to stock, unroot and go to sprint today. They activated my Sprint Hotspot service and BOOM! Pull out my SGT10.1 and the network is right there. Connect to it and it works just fine.
What is frustrating is my brother bought an SGSIIE4GT as well, we have the same hardware versions and running the same ROM and kernel and he can tether with no problems.
Not sure what could be causing the problems but hope I can get it sorted soon. Would very much appreciate any insight from anyone on new things to try. Anyone even having the same problems?

My guess it is because the Galaxy Tab doesn't support ad-hoc wifi tethering, which is what the wifi tethering app you're using broadcasts in. Had the same problem when I was trying to use it with my Touchpad. You will need a tethering app that supports infrastructure mode to be able to tether to your tablet.
Fortunately, Necrosan has been able to hack the built in Sprint Hotspot app (that uses infrastructure mode) to get free 3g tethering. That thread is here [HACK] [EG30] Hotspot Hack (3G Only for now)
You will need to be rooted and be using a deodexed EG30 rom, but there a quite a few of those around. I'm using [ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 and it is working great for me. Haven't even had LOS yet.
After you get all this done you should be able to use the Sprint Hotspot app and tether to your Galaxy Tab. Mine has been working great with my Touchpad so far. Hope this helps!
:-\
My brother (as stated above with the same hardware and software) tethers just fine to his SGT10.1 and his iMac....

To make sure its really broadcasting you should use a laptop or another computer with wifi to look for the SSID. If you see your device then the problem is probably the one stated above. If not, then there is definitely something else wrong
EDIT: just read that you already tried this. Sorry man, don't know what to tell you :/ If the Sprint Hotspot worked then I would just used the hacked version I mentioned previously to avoid paying monthly for it
Thanks for the responses, will give this a go sometime this week. Thanks for your help mate.

I've found that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" does not work for me on the ET. It acts like it is, but I can never see the SSID.
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether, it is working great for me.
Try this hopefully it works. I am getting my SGII today and this is main reason for rooting...
Does 4g work when you tether?

Barnacle did not work for 4g on my Evo so it may not work now. I believe it only handled 3g
Phone: Samsung Epic 4G Touch
v2.3.6 EL29 from HERE
I tried loading WIFI Tether from this website and no matter what version I load on the phone I can't get my computer to pick up the SSID and connect. I know it's not my computer since it running off WIFI Usb card and I am able to connect it to my neighbors WIFI as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I use that one on ics and have to select galaxy nexus cdma as my phone for it to work. Also foxfi works well on el29 and does not even require root.

As someguyatx said, use foxfi..... That's what i've used since I found that app

I have the same problem when trying to use wifi tether, my device cannot see the ssid when it is on. I tried several versions with no success.
Installed FoxFi and that works great, but I would still like to get WT to work to see which one is better on my battery.
I am still on a GB rom.

Never paid attention to battery, wifi tethering kills battery either way.....

i had the same exact issue i just flash one of cauklins roms with the sprint mobile hack, not sure if WT lets you tether 4g but the sprint one lets you
Yeah, I too use Foxfi, it doesn't even require root (although I'm rooted anyway). It works very nicely on Sprint, and allows you to create a mobile hotspot for other devices to connect to wirelessly. It also allows you to use WPA. It is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
Ive been using autoprime tether for months now but ever since last week when i try to use my laptop with it, the tmobile website shows up saying i used up my hotspot data. My tablet connects to and works just fine. I was on 10r...now im on 10c and reinstalled primetether but i have the same problem. Could it be tmobile found me?
I started using PDANet for Bluetooth tethering, and it shows as hotspot as well. Not sure why T-Mobile doesn't allow Bluetooth tethering seeing as though it appears they can still meter it.
Yes I am having the same problem. The tethering mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does anyone know what's up?
