Rooted HTC EVO 4g seems to give off a connection. My DS works with it but my computer will not. It will say "Connected" in the list of connections, but once it 'connects' it won't display web pages and it shows this:
Identifying... (AndroidTether)
No Internet Access
My question is what kinds of things can i do to fix it? I've tested the device profile for generic, generic ins, and htc evo 4g. Routing fix was enabled and nothing seems to work. I've even tried the built in tethering in the rom Lewa OS.
Help needed, much appreciated.
What version are you using? It was either 2.0.1 or 2.0.7 that was the only one that worked right on the EVO

Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.
If it's a 2.1 ROM, the suggestion above should work.
Make sure you have the android.tether fold on the root of your sd card. I am running skyraider 2.5.2 and wireless tether is working for me.

This isn't needed for the newer Pre versions however.
I've practically given up on this WiFi Tether.. it's worked for me once before, now I can't seem to get it working.
I'm running SR3.0 RC3, King #1 and S-OFF.
I've used both 3G Hot Spot on the SR 3.0 RC2 & 3, and the one from the app market... I modified the ##778 settings and still nothing... I don't see the folder mentioned above and not sure where to obtain it to try that out in my troubleshooting, but any help would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure it's because the tethering comes standard with 2.2 and all its data usage will be connected to a plan now... I tried to use it last night to connect an iPod touch and the iPod was redirected to a page about billing information.
Well that sucks.
The ##778 method works on stock 2.2 DIncs too. I just upgraded last night, did the wifi hotspot hack and it works like a charm.
I've noticed since upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2, the Wireless Tether app has changed to ad-hoc and doesn't seem to work quite as well.
I've seen some suggestions to updating to "pre 8" and using codes such as this:
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible
How do you get the pre 8 version, and what do you do with the code above? I'd love to get the tether app back up to speed.

Thanks I didn't . I'll have to check it out
Ok, I rooted my EVO in hopes of tethering it for free. I downloaded the wireless tether app and then proceeded. It seems to find the connection from my computer or other computers but when it connects I get the little yellow triangle in windows by the WiFi notification and it says identifying and never finds a connection. Any help is appreciated.

Same here. But I did get it to work once. I was trying everything and messing with the Enable Security via Setting, and then Access Controll configureations. I was flying along just fine, but once I went back in and "checked" the Enable Seecurity feature, it wouldnt' connect again, yellow triangle like you.

Please give us more info. What rom are you using? What kernel? Which version of wireless tether are you using?
Uninstall whatever wireless tether app you are using and try this one. It should work.

Not necessarily. If he flashed a rom that has the stock HTC kernel, no version of wireless tether will work.
I used caulkins USB tether fix for stock rom a week or 2 ago. Don't think it fixes wireless though
I hope I'm in the correct forum...
I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

I have my EVO rooted and installed wireless tether. My G Tab I can see the (*)android tether but it wont obtain an IP address.
which version of wireless tether? pre8 and pre14 are working depending on phone hw version/sw version
mine wont work either, it last did on tuesday when i was using it, now has not today yet, i did upgrade from pre13 to pre14 to see if that would help, but to no avail, then i tried to upgrade further to pre15 and still nothing, having a feeling the flash update may have blocked whatever it was that allowed us to tether, but that is pure speculation, lol, wtf.
Just tried again to go from the evo to my tablet, and no go, tried to go from evo to laptop, no go, but device's detect but will not connect, on the evo it show's in wireless tether .4k down and .3k up, that is extremely lame, lol, someone please help figure this out.

it's not on the tab's side though, it's something to do with my evo, the evo itself is not working right.
Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!
Wireless tether 2.0.7 works on pretty much anything. Does not work on evo 3d

So are you on an ICS rom still? A lot of things still aren't working with the ICS roms, including tethering.

Actually not the case. Jaredthegreat says that his betas include native tethering. I haven't tried it out myself but he says it works.

Sorry, I meant Gingerbread.
I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025
Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.
Wireless tether for root connects to anysite you want I use it everyday on 2 devices works just fine connecting to anything I need

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.
I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.
Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.
