Anybody got instant Tether working?
It quit working for me a few months ago and I haven't been able to get it going again.
Bluetooth on, enabled on phone, used to work great, I dunno what changed!
Hotspot works fine, but no Instant Tether.

I went through this process last night Rooting part 1 2 the whole jazz:

Everything appeared to go well. I installed Fresh rom. However now when I setup my Phone for Sprint wifi hotspot everything is perfect, until I actually connect to the wireless connection. I am able to connect, but it keeps trying to identify, seems like it never receives an IP address and as a result although I am connected to Sprint Wifi Hotspot (confirmed on the device) the computer is never able to connect to the internet.
Strangely, the Wireless Tether app (free tethering) works fine. I would use this but it seems like it lag spikes more often than the Sprint app.
Appreciate any advice you might have!!! Really miss my internet! haha
Hey Gang-
Current set up. Unrevoked, running Caulkin's ROM.
After exploring the great features of my ROM, I wanted to try out the Wireless Tether app. After trying again and again and playing with the settings, I was able to get my laptop to connect to the Evo but could not get a connection to any website.
This evening, I removed and re-loaded the app directly from the developer's website, still having the same problem. As far as I can tell, I can connect to the Evo via my laptop but I don't seem to be getting a connection to any websites. The data stream log shows some activity.
Any suggestions?
Hrm mine stopped working as well. Nothing will connect to it since Saturday. I've turned off encryption and access control (which both worked till saturday) and no dice. I've tried 3 versions of it and no go
I've not changed Anything else since then that would mess with tether. Im running Azreal 3.0 which seems to enable the official sprint hotspot and THAT connects just fine tho I'm worried I might get charged since my accounts not provisioned for it.
Anyone else have issues with the android tether lately?
I am running MikFroyo 4.4 rom and have had no issues with either Wireless Tether or Sprint Hotspot wireless tethering. On some other roms I have used I have had to turn Wireless tethering off and on a couple of times before my laptop fully connected with the internet. And as far as Sprint charging you, unless you are downloading a ton of crap constantly chances are you will go by unnoticed.
all you have to do is not use it.. mine did the same today
i just went to the market and downloaded barnicle wireless tether
its actually a bit fater and works the same.
I can get the wired usb tether to work fine but it seems to be slower. Using FoxFi but it seems to mess with my phone. I have NEVER gotten wifi tether to work, irregardless of my phone version or rom, so I was wondering what people have installed on both phone and comp that allows it to work. My wireless card enables ad-hoc so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I just want a simple wifi tether, not a hotspot because i don't want others to use it, that's what FoxFi is for when I have guests. I just want to get wifi tether to work to see if it works how I'm hoping it does. Any help is appreciated
Does your computer support Bluetooth? BLuetooth tethering sounds like it more like what you are looking for. I've honestly never heard of a "WiFi" tether outside of the hotspot usage.
I keep seeing some people saying that native bluetooth tethering works and then others saying it doesn't. So for those that it does work for, I'd like to know what your setup is. On my Gnexus it worked tethering to my Nexus 7 for about a week, then suddenly stopped working. However the wifi tethering works just fine. Bluetooth tethering will work through the pdanet & foxfi method although this causes my nexus 7 to run at full power all the time making for insane battery drain.
So please, any input into this matter would be appreciated. I do not want to have to use the pdanet & foxfi method. The native bluetooth tether works much nicer.
I am capable to send files between the devices via bluetooth as well, but not tether anymore. It was working up until couple weeks ago, and now, it won't. I have seen people on the same rom and kernel have the functionality work just fine.
Not one person has an opinion?
Has anyone else had issues with the WiFi hotspot that week or two? It worked fine on foxfi and then just stopped. It'll shows late for just a second and then no data. Has anyone that issue or know a work around? I mainly need it to tether via Bluetooth to my Galaxy Gear.
