[Q] Rooted 2.2 and wireless tether on the Dinc

I'm trying to run wireless tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) on a Droid Incredible which has been updated to stock 2.2 and then rooted. I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 9 and everyting seems to work and I can connect to the phone from my laptop (running Win XP), but then I can maybe sometimes load a single web page and then I get timed out connections. It seems that DNS resolution is working as I get answers from nslookup in a command window.
Is anyone else having problems getting wireless tethering working? The web pages I've found on the subject seem to be from before Froyo came to the Dinc, even the Google project page doesn't mention 2.2.

Have not tried Wireless Tether with 2.2 since I can use the 3G Wirelecc Hotspot that comes with 2.2. All you need to do is this:
1. On your phone, bring up the dialer and dial ##778. This will load EPST.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Enter 000000 for the password.
4. Select SECURITY.
5. Select the username that has [email protected].
6. Edit the username to read [email protected] (delete "dun.").
7. Click the back button to return to the list.
8. Select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
10. Click on MENU and select COMMIT.
You will not be charged for its use.

Thanks, I just tried that and got it working, but I thought that using the Google code was a little safer that it would never be accidentally switched back to paid mode.
I also noticed that when I tried to change the ssid or password that whenever I left the config screen and came back they were back to default values. Have you been able to change the 3g hotspot ssid/password?

Yu have to have a computer link first and then it will keep the settings. Do not know why they set it up this way.

Thanks, got it changed now - in fact I'm using that connection now.
Does this mean the wireless tether project is totally obsolete?

No, for those who do not have 2.2 yet, it is still an option (and a good one). Some people just like using it over the 3g Wireless Hotspot. I have used both and prefer the 3G Wireless Hotspot. I have no issues with it and get easy connects.

Is the equivalent procedure for the Droid X known yet? I've got a friend who just got his X updated to Froyo.

I do not know. Do a search for ESPT for the Droid X and see if it has a simular setup. If it does, the same changes should work for it.

Any updates on this? I'm on a rooted 2.2 incredible and wifi tether will not play with my ipad. Based upon what I've read, the issue surrounds the fact that the mac address refreshes on the app while the ipad does not like this and most ad hoc connections. I've heard that activaiton hack for the stock mobile wifi is no longer valid. Anyone else tethering?
Thanks,
Tremont

The stock 3g hack still works also wireless tether pre15 works perfect for me

[Q] how to get Wi-Fi tethering to work

Well I have read through the development thread of ktoonsez and task's kernel and rom and even used yes search in the thread and have come up with no answers. When I was on ICS I had no issue with Wi-Fi tethering but since I have moved to this rom I can create the hotspots however there is no internet connection. I found a couple posts in the thread using the search but they seem to be gone from the actual thread since after I click the link it's not on the page that pops up.
I am currently running both the ktoonsez & task rom and kernel (latest versions) on a bell I747m with MVLDLK4 modems on MTS . I don't have a tethering plan but when I was on ICS it didn't seem to matter. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

If you are talking about using the WIFI Tether app Jelly Bean essentially broke it. The devs are working on a fix. XDA member Treve has a mod that will get it to work though. His OP is posted in the Verizon forums but I can assure you it works on our AT&T phones. I used it last night. There is an issue worth noting that once you tether and untether your WIFI won't work again until you clear cache and reboot. It is a minor annoyance IMO but I threw it out there so no one freaks out.
If you are talking about straight stock tethering I haven't run into the issue myself. My stock tether/WIFI hotspot works flawlessly. After updating to 4.1.1 did you do a full data wipe? If not I would recommend it. I ran into all kinds of bugs after doing the Kies update. Battery drain, Google Now had a learning disability, etc.
Do a google search for Treve WIFI Tether mod for the link and give it a go. In the OP he says that secure tethering doesn't work. It does. Used it last night as a test.

Also if you have a rooted phone already download mobile odin. You can have the app reflash the stock .tar and inject everoot and SuperSU. That's what I generally do when a new OTA is released. Hasn't failed me yet. Any questions shoot me a PM.

Wifi Tether works. The old version stopped working for me after upgrading to JB, but I downloaded a different beta. You have to download the TrevE Mod, wifi_tether_v3_3-pre2.apk.
Also I had to change some settings.
Device profile is set to GS3.
Fallback tether is enabled.
Send Netd Max Client Cmd is enabled.
Both Wifi-driver reload options are enabled.
MSS clamping is enabled.
Routing fix is enabled.
This works for me. Sometimes no data will come through but restarting my phone fixes the problem. I'm rooted on stock JB.

Can't get Foxfi/Mobile Hotspot to work stock, will root definitively make it work?

Hey guys, I just bought myself a HTC One V to upgrade from an Optimus V on VMs Beyond Talk plan. The Optimus severed me well for a while but the internal storage limitation and general sluggishness of the phone prompted me to update. One thing it handled very well though was running Foxfi so I could tether my iPad to it, which actually became my main reason for using the phone other then internet radio and talking. However, this is something that is not working out-of-the-box on my HTC One V, even using Apex Launcher to reveal the hidden "Mobile Hotspot" application on the phone will not work and does the same thing (allows hotspot to be created, lets devices connect, but does NOT allow internet access to the devices) So before I send this back and return to the safety of my Optimus V I'd just like to know for sure if one of the many root-needed tether apps out there will allow an iPad to connect to a mobile Wifi hotspot created by this phone (not USB or bluetooth DUN) because I see many posts out there that state rooting did not help the issue. Thanks in advance guys, keep up the good work.

Do restore factory it may work.
hit thanks if I helped u!!!

If not, one of the many gurus around here can help you to safely unlock the bootloader and root your phone... believe me, once you jump in the pool, you don't wanna get out. For any general assistance in that area, feel free to also message me as I am more than happy to help you out.

I rooted my gf's virgin mobile htc one v and absolutely no tethering apps work. Also there are no responses to the tethering threads on the forum. So much for the gurus

I've been trying to get wifi tethering working on stock roms and it hasn't been going well, however, I'm on PACman rom right now with wifi tethering working like a charm

I'm running the rooted stock rom and the standard yellow wifi tether app works fine for me. Sometimes it will randomly go down and have to be restarted but not more than once a day. Also I've never been able to get FoxFi to work on this phone yet.
Settings I use if this helps you guys who can't get it working:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
WiFi-driver reload: on
Routingf fix: on

what is the "standard yellow wifi tether app" ?

The app he is referring to is: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Use the settings he mentioned in his post. Your device does need to be rooted but I can confirm that it will allow tethering with no problem on stock ROM.

Thank you!!!! I had rooted my One V today and tried a few tether apps but none of them worked. Remembered I made this thread a while back asking about it and figured I should check it out. This was the first app I tried and of course it didn't work, but I applied the settings you suggested and now works like a charm!! Will still probably flash to something else but just knowing it works on stock is reassuring. Much appreciated!

I'm in the same boat, I posted here long time ago and decided to check again today and it looks that there is a fix now. So how do you like the phone over the LG Optimus V? I bought the HTC ONE V a couple of months ago but didn't activate it because I need the tethering once in a while. How did you root it?

Wifi hotspot only works on JB roms it seems.

[Q] WiFi Tether Settings Help

So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.
I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.

I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.

Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.

My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd ndc master
Send Netd max client cmd checked
wifidriver reload checked
Router fix checked
Wifi fix checked
I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.

I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.
I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.

Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.

BUMP!

This one works for me with these settings:
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd max client cmd - checked
Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked
WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked
Enable Access-Control - checked (If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)​Routing fix - checked
Hope this helps

something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.
Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.

These settings worked for me using the Stock Odex JB 4.1 rom. and the TrevE mod version below. I had to reboot first after installing the apk, and reload the binaries.

throttling
Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.

May I suggest jellybeer? Tethering is built in!

I've searched the Q&A for threads but don't see an answer. Is there a ROM that allows unlimited wifi tether/hotspot on TMO?

I used to use the Wifi Tether app but that joint been messing up

Any cm rom as far as i know.

u should be able to on stock, i am able to with AT&T

As far as I can tell you don't even need to be rooted or modded to get this to work. Seems to work for me using an adb shell and typing:
PHP:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0

I have done this, TMO still knows when I'm tethering. Anything else we know if?

Since getting my OP3, no matter what tethering app came with the rom, TMO always knew I was tethering, even with the usual tweaks like provisioning set to 0, etc. So I retried the Wifi Tether Router app, and it was a pain to set up. I ended up emailing the developer, and he got back to me within a few hours with some things to try and now it works well. So far TMO isn't seeing the tethering, but of course it's showing up as data. And I'm not using a VPN or a user agent changer, just straight up Wifi Tether Router. There is always going to be a little data that will show up as tethering in my experience with pretty much every hotspot tweak, and it's the same here. But it's a small amount that's never over 1gb in a month in my experience.
Here are my settings for the app that work flawlessly on Sultan's CM13 rom and even allow me to play xbox live with no lag if my signal's good: **NOTE: Haven't tried this on any other rom, so can't help you if it's not an OP3 running Sultan's CM 13**
Encryption type: wpa2-psk
Wifi Channel: 1
Interface: Auto (after using app, it sets itself to wlan0 - but selecting auto got it working)
Method: Auto (same thing as interface - will set itself to 2-Android Version 4.2 or higher - at least on my rom)
No Firmware Reload: Unchecked (important one!)
Prevents Standby: Checked
MTU Adjust: Checked
TTL Increment: Checked
Wifi Scanning AutoDisabler: Checked
Remove Background Image: Checked (not important - personal preference)
If it's not written above, it's either something you need to fill in yourself like SSID or password or it's standard and wasn't changed by me --> the default settings of the installed app. I'm attaching screen shots of checked/unchecked boxes as a reference. And definitely contact the developer if you need help, the guy is very helpful and knows what he's doing. Good luck, hope it works for you.

You are my hero. My lte kept dropping my hotspot

That's awesome, I'm glad to hear it! This little app was the best $2 or whatever it was I spent. It just consistently works. I also found another one awhile ago that is outstanding in its own right. It's called EasyTether Pro. Again, the paid version, but it's a simple decision on whether hassle free tethering is worth a tiny investment. EasyTether Pro is not wireless, but it's also truly undetectable I've found across every rom I've used it. And since it's primarily a USB tethering based app (although it offers bluetooth as well), it's blazing fast. It's a good one to throw in the mix or have as a backup I no longer use the hotspots that are baked into the roms unless I know the dev has modded it themself. Because as long as making money off of tethering data is worthwhile for these companies, it's going to be a constant cat and mouse game. Ain't nobody got time for that! These third party apps take very different approaches that are consistently effective.
And to anyone reading, I'm not a shill for either of these apps. I could care less if you buy them. I'm just passing along useful info that was passed on to me or I discovered myself. Happy tethering!

you can simply use an app to change the ttl, that's how they see if the phone is tethering or not
