I recently installed Orbot and tried USB tethering with it on my Mac. It worked great, but now when I turned it off to tether without connecting to the TOR network using Orbot, web pages are stuck forver loading and my network monitor is measuring the speed in a few bits. Almost like it is stuck or there's a chokepoint somewhere. Wifi works fine on the handset. How can I fix this? Orbot seems to have fried my tethering. I tried rebooting my phone and plugging the usb back in and out and turning tethering on and off but no luck. It works fine when I use TOR.

I have no experience with orbot but typically to use tor you redirect uour traffic to it voa a proxy setting. It sounds like youre stuck using tor proxy settings when you want direct connect.
See if orbot has any proxy setting options you use to revert back.. or see if there are apps available to check or mod uour peoxy settings (there must be)..

Does anyone have a working version of that app yet?

Great question for the app section... To my knowledge Barnacle works for some but can be 'finicky'. Otherwise, no.
Yea I couldn't get barnacle to work

here is the the one I'm using for TeamFenix 1.7.1 which is based off of one of the CM nightlies, and I haven't had any problems at all, just downloaded, installed using Astro File Manager and was up an running on my netbook. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk
barnacle ususally works. just disable wpa_supplicant. go to barnacle's settings and check skip wpa_supplicant. ran it for a few hours on windows. works well.
Barnacle is the only one that people claims works. I haven't been able to get any Ad-hoc to work with Linux, but Windows works with Barnacle.
Not related to wireless, but there is built-in USB tethering which I prefer if I can get signal at my laptop. Just plug in the USB, go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering and check 'USB Tethering'. If it prompts for drivers tell Windows to manually use 'Remote NDIS Device for Internet Sharing' by 'Microsoft Incorporated'.
I'm trying to find a working wifi tether app for cm 6.0 as well. Ive tried Barnacle and it doesnt work even when I disable wpa supplicant. The computer sees it and connects but no webpages will load.
I also tried a few different wifi tether apk's from googles site and everyone makes my phone crash and reboot.
wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. Thanks
I recently installed cyanogen 6.1.1 and installed wireless tether for root (the newest version, 2.06 I think.) . When I start tethering windows will find the network but it won't connect to the internet and the program is showing no data activity. The same thing happens if I try using the hotspot option in settings. I've already tried changing the network id, channel and I even reinstalled the app and no luck. PDAnet usb tethering is working fine but the built in usb tethering isn't (it makes a noise like a driver failed to install). Thanks for any input on getting any of them working correctly.

you may need to install the vision/dz drivers to get the official usb tether to work but I haven't dicked with the wifi in a while and don't really remember a lot about it.

I seem to remember there being conflicts when you have Wireless Tether installed since CM already has the hotspot. Try uninstalling Wireless Tether, rebooting and using hotspot

Now I can't get the phone to USB mount the sd card...

Where Can I find these drivers? And are they self installing? If not where do I put them?

I'm pretty sure I tried to use this before I installed Wireless Tether for Root.
Got it working, thanks. I uninstalled everything, rebooted my phone and computer. Some driver installed and both tethering options in settings are working now.
I'm having this problem as well. What do you mean by you uninstalled everything?
I'm having the same issue. Did you just uninstall the app and reboot?

Just fixed the issue. I uninstalled Wireless tether for root and rebooted phone. Opened up hotspot and it now works. Thanks!
When you use the inbuilt tether, did you get charged.
I am still on a grandfathered plan and would like to keep it.
When I connect to my work network, it routes all traffic... Vpn and random Internet traffic through the vpn tunnel..
If i tether while I'm connected to my vpn, can att detect it? I would think not since it's encrypted?? Or is there something I'm missing?
I'm worried that tethering would force it to use atts gateway/ip instead of the vpn.
Does anybody know?
Thank you!

guess i'll find out...
couldn't get wifi tethering working.. anytime i enabled it 'settings' would FC (maybe because i froze tethering provision apk?
so i tried foxfi - and that wifi tether would turn on - but it would change the routing tables of my vpn.. and use normal 4g/att internet
but i have bluetooth on my laptop!
connected to vpn on phone, enabled bluetooth DUN on foxfi - and on my pc when i check my ip on third party websites (i.e nwtools.com) , it shows the IP of my VPN....
so far so good, i hope they can't see this traffic.
please search before posting new threads. there's multiple threads about this topic.
I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the S3s wifi connection for a laptop. Not tethering using 3g
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean like this:
Wifi Hotspot > S3 > Laptop
?
If you do, you could use CWM tether (its usb tethering) or Wifi tether for root users (works if your phone is connected to Wifi but some people have had issues with that, I have not)
Kinda like ad-hoc but having it emit from the phone
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Let me see....
You have someone Wi-Fi key stored in your phone, and want to share it to your laptop?
Try with Bluetooth, or in Play "Wi-Fi key recovery"
Also you can clone your phone mac address.

Tethering is using 3G. There's no other way to share data. Are you rooted?
Yeah...what he said...because if its wifi to phone to laptop then you might as well connect to the wifi directly right? Idk, I still dont really understand what you're trying to do
One of my laptops doesn't have a 5Ghz network card and since my phone can connect to that band, I was wondering if there was an ad-hoc like thing for android.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'm still not understanding what you want to do. Why don't you just connect to the network from your laptop and leave the phone out of the process?
This phone can not emit WiFi and use WiFi at the same time. Does that answer your question?
Alright it answers my question
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Ahh ok, I've done that before on an OG evo AND evo shift, so it is possible...now whether it would work on this phone, I' don't know, some people have had issues but look around and try all the apps you can find to see if they will do the trick
I used wifi tether for root users v2.2/v2.1 (can't remember which one it was) and it worked flawlessly, just a lot of battery drain but thats to be expected
You can use your WiFi and tether at the same time?
I can USB Tether WiFi (like a network adapter), but I've never been able to tether my WiFi connection.
I'm currently having issue with my Wifi Tethering with the TrevEMod. it keeps saying "What the hell...." i've searched thru the forums and tried all the fixes and it still disconnects. Any word on this?

I'm using a stock non rooted Tmobile Note 3. Before using PIA VPN app, with the native hotspot all data went over the secure VPN connection. Recently I just noticed that all phone data goes over the vpn, but tethered data does not. When checking the ip address from my tethered tablet it comes up as a t mobile ip address. Phone browser show a completely different ip address.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticedor has this problem as well? Maybe something just got corrupted on my phone?

While tethering now I'm getting the tmobile up sell page. Using a VPN, or agent switcher used to work fine for me in the past, but not anymore. Are there any not root tethering methods, are still available that work? That will by pass the up sell page, or not count against your mobile hotspot?
