sorry if this question is getting a pain
but can i use my phones wifi tether with the KF? if yes, how?
I use mine all the time simply just connect to your phones network. If your asking how to get your phone to do this ask in the proper forum for your phone. My phone is rooted running wifi tether beta. Here is the apk to install on the phone http://db.tt/3yYWK0pQ .
i am tethering my phone but the kindle doesn't see the network. my laptop can though. i tried these ahoc switchers but with no luck.

I had a couple of questions. First off, I'm running 2.2 and I'm rooted so I was wondering if I did a factory reset on my phone would I need to re-root the device? As for the second question, I'm trying to figure out why I can't get Barnacle WiFi Tether or Wireless Tethering for Root Users to work with my Inc, I've searched several forums and people say it's 2.2, they say it works fine, they say make sure you don't have WEP enabled, but strangely the D2 that I own works just fine with Barnacle. Any advice from anyone who's gotten these apps to work? I messed around with the duns to try the 3G Mobile Hotspot, and decided I liked the others better because they say how much data I've been using so I (think) I changed them back properly. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the wall of text!
I have rooted my EVO and I have WiFi tethering working great, but it is slow eats battery. What is the easiest way to get free USB tethering with the stock ROM and root?
P.S. I know about the apps in the market, I have yet to find a free one that allows HTTPS and works but I have not tried all of them so if you know one works tell me
I know you asked for free... but if you can't find what you're looking for, I have Easy Tether and it works just fine over USB. 3G or 4G, and never drops the connection.
Yes I used the Search feature, still no satisfactory resoultion...
I have rooted several phones over the past few weeks (with different bootloaders), Evo 4Gs, one tethers, one doesn't, Droid RAZRs, both tether, Droid 3s, neither tether (I read the TBH thread, so...), E4GT neither tether (mine included but am running Phantom's Rom so no worries there).
I am at my wits end. The apk(s) used to work before, but as of late I am not having any success at all. Android Tether lists in my networks, my pc and laptop will connect, internet access is detected, they connect but NONE of my browsers are able to connect.
I never had this problem, never had to change any settings in the apk(s), and never had to change my pc(s) configuration. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know what is going on?

Try FoxFi, free at Google Play. I had issues tethering E4GT. This app works great for Samsung & Motorola. All others, maybe Bluetooth.

Wifi Tether (Im using 3.1 beta11 pulled from Calk's ICS roms) works if you change the device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)". I always enable the access control and allow the pc accessing.
The hacked sprint hotspot has always worked for me on gingerbread as well i prefer it but use the other atm on ICS.
Wifi Tether wont work properly until you change it to thet CDMA/LTE Nexus it gives the same issue you describe without the change.

Ok but what are you running ICS or GB because there is an answer to both.... If you are rooted the stock wifi tether works fine so can we have a little more info although the answers you have gotten so far a pretty damn good.
Thanks
I switched to my Nexus S 4G to give the ICS ROMS a spin and really loved it but missed my E4GT so I recently switched back. I am currently on Phantom's EL26 (Gingerbread) from way back when. I found that the EL 26 modem gives me the best battery life by far and I like the debloated stock because I am running SPB SHELL 3D launcher (cracked-pm me).
I have so many Google Wifi Tether apks on my pc and dug up the wifi_tether_v3_1-pre101.apk and changed the channel to 6. It works now.
The Sprint Hotspot comes fully functional on the ROM that I am on but it was really bugging me that I couldn't get the google wifi tether to work on friends' and family's phones. There must be a bug in the newest release or something.
FIFOX said that HTC has a block on wifi tether when I tried to install it on my friend's Evo 4G.
I am going to use the TBH thread to change the radio strings on my friend's Droid 3 so he can tether. We'll see how that goes later today.
-worked like a charm; rewrote the strings with RadioCom and changed the entitleent with sqlite editor, using the most recent google wifi tether apk on chanel 6.
Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna hit the thanks button for you all.
PEACE!
Hello all, I just recently purchased a Unlocked T-mobile galaxy s3 that im currently using on straight talk. I have it rooted on the 4.1.2 jb version and cant find anything to help me get tethering working whatsoever. Any insight on what I can do to resolve this would be very much appreciated as im about to tear my hair out! Thanks
Try the tether apps from play store. If they can't help then see if your straighttalk plan prohibits you from tethering. As a last resort, you can switch to a AOSP Rom. All of these roms do have built in Tether that works the first time.
I don't do tether and don't use stock Rom, so can't help that well.
some time ago, i used an app called easytether. check it out.
easy tether and wifi tether
I've tried both easy tether and wifi tether, both to no avail, I can connect my computer to both but I don't receive data. Don't have this problem with my old galaxy s blaze. Even tried pdanet, same issue, does upload but no download for any of these. IM completely stumped at this point.

have you tried using a different computer, just to eliminate it being a windows\mac issue?
computers
I have tried a different computer, same thing.
I asked this back in August and received no reply, so I guess I will try again. With the stock amazon fire OS I cannot get the hotspot to work, it turns on, says it's enabled, I then try to connect any device (have tried many pcs and tablets) windows says it's taking longer than usual to connect, then eventually connects. But then it will not get me internet access, just local only.
Now here's what makes me believe this is a fire OS issue, if I put on CM11 it works fine, no issue at all, but honestly CM11 is too buggy for me and despite what is said here, I get a better signal with the Fire OS. I am using Straight Talk, and using the apn provided by the sim/phone. I can get on the internet fine on the phone, just nothing for a hotspot. Anyone have any ideas?
