Hi to everyone.
I would like to know how to tether with this phone. I have the phone rooted already and tried a couple of third party apps but none seem to work. Tried PDA(Foxfi) when not rooted did not worked and then rooted the phone and tries Wifi Tether and none of the profiles or combinations of options seem to work for this phone. I really spent quite some time fooling a round with different options to no avail. I haven't tried flashing any roms because their seems not to be to much development going on for this unit. The other reason is I need this phone to work 100% percent because this is my work's phone. I have an unlimited data account with AT&T and use to have a Sony experia TL and everything worked great until they changed my phone at work. Now I am stuck with this phone with no tethering. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
I got tethering to work with this app codegooglecom/p/android-wifi-tether/ which I think you mentioned above. You just have to go to Settings>change device profile> and scroll down until you see HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/gsm). Restart the app and it should work. Edit:I forgot to mention that I am on JMZTotemC2 v3 ROM so it might not work for you on stock, but I don't see why it wouldn't
If that doest here is a universal method that works for all devices

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!
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!
My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
I'm trying to use my vzw gnex to tether my nexus 10 but it's not working. Both devices are rooted. I've tried a few apps but nothing seems to work. I have tethered a Xoom and other Android phones in the past but that doesn't seem to be working any more either. Does anyone have a way to make this work, maybe a screen shot of the settings screen so I can compare mine to one that's working.? I appreciate any help I can get.
When it come to rooting and bootloader unlocking I'm quite savvy, however, recently I found myself going in circles. Recently I started new service with Metro PCS and my tether is blocked. I have tried just about everything and cant get it to work. Here is what I have done so far:
1- Added the line "tether_dun_required" to Setting.db
2- Made changes to to APN (changed APN Protocol to IPV4) for
3- I have 3 different wifi tether app including Wifi Tether Router
4- I have installed 2 different custom ROM one of them was AOKP CM11
At this time I no longer know what to do. I know that I could use user agent changer for chrome, but I cant use for my school homework. I need the full Chromebook & Tablet tether.
For the past 3 day I have been reading threads, articles, and anything related to this issue.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
My device is a Nexus 5 running AOKP CM11
Update 1: I tried Hotspot shield and it did dot work. Tried with the native tether and wifi tether router.
Hello! I've ran into the same issue recently with MetroPCS, I've tried almost exactly the same fixes you have but to no avail.
Does anyone out there know of a for sure fix for this? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
