I found that the tethering app listed on here a while back doesn't work anymore with the newest update. Anyone have a suggestion what app does work with tethering on the new update?

Install hotspot shield vpn and run it with the tether app. By tether app i assume the treve mod tethering.

I don't run mods, I'm on stock, there was a post that had wifi tether. But what's the use to having a vpn block? I already have a vpn service on the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999
That treve app is in the play store. Its not really a mod just install that and run it with ur vpn service.
Can't find the treve app on store either?
I've got cyanogen mod the last nightly
No treve in app store, you have the apk?

Try foxfi
Yea use hotspot shield to avoid the redirect clockwork tether mod to connect to PC via USB or Trevor wifi mod or if or using 10.1 use the windows based hotspotshild as soon as u tether or phone through the settings in 10.1
I have hotspot shield, and I downloaded foxfi, foxfi works with no problem, however, my tethering app from tmo launches as soon as I launch foxfi. Will my provider see that I'm tethering with foxfi? I also run the hotspot shield in conjunction with foxfi, will that still allow reporting to the carrier? The other tethering app you all are talking about, it's not on the app store. Any other tips? Thanks for the help so far.:thumbup:

Are you guys using something other than Barnacle for a hotspot app in your Incredible 2's? If so, what?

Use WiFi tether it gives you infrastruce same as hotspot

I'm actually using the #778 hack on the hotspot. Also have Wifi Tether as a backup.
Just curious because I use my phone as a hotspot frequently but I use Barnacle wifi tether. It sounds like it's the same thing you guys are using, only you're using the built in Verizon wifi tether app right?
Will it show up on my bill if I use a third party tethering app?

No. It should just count as data usage so if you have unlimited, you're good to go.
Oh I see; thank you. I removed the Barnacle one and installed the one you sent the link for that was called wifi tether.
So now that the GSII is rooted. I was attempting to use Barnacle but it doesn't seem to function. Anyone else try this? I'm using Barnacle so I don't have to pay $15/month for the Tethering feature.
Why not use the standard hotspot software in the settings menu? That works with error of you remove the tethering manager app.

+1 if you freeze/uninstall the Tethering Manager app with Titanium Backup, tethering instantly works like it should.
Thanks I never knew that the Tethering Manager was what prevented tethering.
I’m trying to find the best app to tether my tablet. I’ve got an ASUS Transformer Prime and it’s WiFi only, no 3G/4G so I’m trying to find the best way to share my internets from my Samsung Galaxy SII. I found this great app called FoxFi but for some reason I can’t just turn my phone into a hotspot and use my Transformer to connect via WiFi. I have to use a companion app on my tablet called PdaNet Tablet and it connect via Bluetooth! I don’t understand how it works, but it is very cool. The only downside is I can only seem to browse the web with connection. If I try to use the mail app or even access the Google Play store, it won’t connect. The only thing it will let me do is surf the net. Long story short, there’s a ton of apps out there, and without wasting my money trying them all I was hoping I could get some feedback here from people who’ve used apps with better success. Any input is welcome, thanks!

Sprint hotspot on touchwiz, WIFI tether on AOSP.
FoxFi, but I am still using EL29
PdaNet "free version" will not let you go into secure sites, you need to pony up for that.

Wifi Tether or Barnacle Wifi tether. Bother work very well.Wifi tether shows up on our Market so thats the way to go! I will say if your tethering to a computer Get a older version of pda net 3.0 It is unrestricted. You can get the windows install file too. Google it. You charge phone while tethering.
Sprint HotSpot.
Android's native USB tethering from the settings.

Some wifi devices can't see adhoc hotspots. Many tethering or hotspot apps can only go into that mode because of the phones limitations. The hotspot app that comes with the phone usually is infrastructure mode. Everything can connect to that. In simple terms, adhoc is like internet connection sharing from a computer. Infrastructure mode is like a wireless router. You could look if someone has a modified wpa supplicant file for the tablet if it can't see the phone. Then it will work. I had to do that to my old galaxy tab in order to connect to the net through the phone.
Yeah I went into settings in my E4GT, and there's a Bluetooth tether option that works great for my tablet. A little slow, but better than nothing. Thanks for the input everyone!
Which wifi tether app from the market are you guys talking about? I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and want to tether it from my epic 4g touch. When i search the market, there are a couple of wifi tether apps but I don't know which one to use. I am not rooted by the way. I just want to tether 3g/4g when I'm at work on my break because I don't want to use company's wifi network.
Foxfi
I've used wifi tether and foxfi. Only difference is u have to pay for the full version of foxfi. But wifi tether doesn't work on some versions. Worked on fi27 but doesn't on fk23

I see a couple of "wifi tether" name in the app store but which one of those are you guys talking about? "wifi tether for root users" by muller? "wifi hotspot/wifi tether" by innodroapps? "wifi tether" by pontente mobile? Also, for foxfi full version, it says that i need the free version first but i can't find that in the google play store.
WiFi Tether version 3.2-beta2

I'm not rooted. Is there one where I don't have to root?
Also, if I do root, will my phone still be secured?
wondering if there is a better USB tether app for ICS,
The team that made the wife tether, had a USB tether that worked great for Ginger Bread, but was never ported to ICS :|

You can do it, but the only way I've found that works is to download the user-agent plugin for Chrome and set it to android.

I thought I read changing your DNS server usually works when trying to tether to a pc/laptop
I use the built-in wifi tether from CM10 but I only use it for Netflix from by BR player in my upstairs bedroom because my wifi doesn't reach up there and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a relay. For that it works but if I try to browse on my laptop with it, it gets the T-Mo message. You can use the original Wifi tether for root app and change your DNS settings to Verizon's network I think someone said once, but I don't really have a need so I've never tested it.
I will say it is VERY nice to have unlimited data though, no more throttle worries.
You should be able to tether after root, either through an app, a feature built into the ROM, or through other means...
I use wifi tether (hotspot) with my Android tablet and my Windows laptop.
Works great.

you might want to use one of the modified ROMs such as Jedi Mind Trick JB 1.1 or Infamous's . I dont think free tethering in stock ROM will work.

I tried the generic steps for tethering but I do not have the MSS Clamping option on the one that I downloaded on that page?

The stock roms generally want permission from the carrier to enable tethering. The custom ROMS generally have it enabled by default. One of the tricksy things T-Mobile is doing now though is checking the User-Agent of the browser requesting a page and, if it's not a mobile browser (i.e. you're wi-fi tethering a laptop and using a desktop browser), it redirect you to the "Buy Tethering" page. There are extension for Chrome and Firefox to change your User-Agent.
Non-web traffic seems to be completely unaffected by the new tethering test.
