Hey guys. I just sucsusfully downloaded and tested the wireless tether app for android. I am not talking about the hotspot app that comes stock with the inspire. Im talking about this app (I cant post links untill i make 8 post lol, so copy and paste the url below)
Code:
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I downloaded the 2.0.7 version and it works flawlessly with the stock rooted rom.
Just wanted to share that.

An alternative is you can put the phone in airplane mode, turn on wifi, and download the app from the market.
What is the difference between this and the wifi hotspot?

wifi hotspot is application that comes stock on the inspire. It checks your account to see if you are paying for tethering. The other application (which requires rooting) does not require you to have tethering enabled on your account; hence free tethering !

But if one has to be rooted, isn't that kinda a moot point? If one has to be rooted to use this workaround to the stock app, but rooting in itself alleviates the need to avoid the stock app, then....

I have no idea what your trying to get at? The wireless tethering is not a "work around" its a separate application that does the same thing as wifi hotspot.

Understood, but as several others have pointed out, the built in hotspot works perfect when rooted, so if one has to root to get this app, then what advantages does it have over the native tethering app to cause someone to want to have to add yet another app?

hmm weird. My hotspot app still checks my account and I have a rooted device. I figured it was because im using the stock rom. So i posted this thread to give others out there information about the wireless tethering app.
So yea, if your wifi hotspot app works fine then dont download this app. I was just trying to be helpful.

Ack! yep read that to fast! ~.~
However on a non rooted phone if you change the AP listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960058 it is not seen as an teathered laptop or other item. I have tested this and talked to ATT about it. unless its software in the system that makes that decision. i dont think its the app that reports back. i think ATT sends a code over their network to the sim to unlock teathering via their network. by changing the ap to what is listed above it looks like the phone is just hitting off of another service that may be needed for it. I guess ill find out when i get my bill for next month but this is what att told me that its just the phone requesting information from a different ap and no additional charges would be applied. *shrugs* hope their right

Yeah I think it has to do with which ROM the user is using when rooted... some say it still prompts, others not. Mine is enabled regardless of rooted or not, because I use a different APN which bypasses the wall.
I can't seem to get barnacle or wifitether to work on this phone. Has anyone else been successful in tethering with the infuse?

I've never had an issue. On the iPhone (not jailbroken) you have to call AT&T to activate. On this one, you get an information tag above the activate checkbox saying:
A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please go to att.com/myWireless or dial 611 if you do not already have this service provisioned.

I've been using that on my Captivate for 7 or 8 months now, AT&T has never billed me. I'm not extravagant in my usage. The highest net data I've used is 4.5GB, but that's for both normal and tethered use. I've never been dinged.
I think if it becomes obvious, torrent or otherwise, then they may try to do something. But as far as I know, there is no way to distinguish the traffic of your phone from that of the connected devices.
My suggestion is try it for a small burst of data, note the time. Reboot your phone after. Then check your account online after a day or two and see whats listed under your data use.
You guys should try a custom apn similar to the captivate and atrix.

Ok... I tried this again after I posted the message. Something seems to have changed in my account. Now I get a "Verifying" message and then a note that says tethering is not available. My guess is that we'll have to replace the IP/Stack to not request verification information from AT&T.
So, sorry, no go yet.

I notice you said ATT, but your profile shows the Canadian flag. So are you in Canada or US with ATT.
I know some Canadian carriers have some tether included in the 3G for free at no extra charge.

Did just that It needed a 13 character wpa key... ilovekeineken worked jussst fine!
Searched for "wifi tether" on google code. Slider earned a thanks
EDIT: Now confirmed to work, see next post!

guys MOBILE AP in settings! that's native wifi teather ap stands for access point. there is an apk you need to delete or freaze to do it without the tethering plan. ill get details from captivate section and report back.
I can now confirm that Android-Wifi-Tether works.
I used Tether for Root Users 2.0.8-pre1 Wireless
I agree with Dani897, this will ultimately be a matter of replacing the AT&T Modded Wifi AP with the google stock version.

in titaniumbackp if you are rooted freeze ir uninstall "tetheringmanager0326.apk" should unlock it. you can also delete it from adb, rootexplorer, other root file managers as long as you mount read write in terminal emulator, or you can use terminal emulator.
i have a linux machine and use sshdroid to ssh into the phone. that's another way to do it if you get a windows application that handles ssh.

I was hoping of a way around it without root. I know the Atrix had one.
Thanks anyways.
I just checked my t-mobile account and noticed I used 220mb of data since yesterday afternoon. How in the world is this possible if I was on wifi 90% of the time?
This sucks because I lose 4g speeds after 2GB of data.
are you sure that's only since yesterday & not from the start of your billing cycle?

Might be the T-Mobile app thing. There was somebody else complaining of high data usage and traced it back to this app.

I'll see if I can find the thread for you
Couldn't find the specific post/thread I was quoting, but I did find this, on Android Police:
Update: Don’t install this app until it gets an update – it will turn your GPS on every 10 seconds to update your location info, and won’t stop unless you Force Stop it from the Manage Applications screen. It was at 68% on my phone’s battery usage menu after 6 hours of doing little with my phone aside from checking e-mail sporadically. Yuck.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it's using GPS to update your location every 10 seconds, that needs data. So I suspect, if you have this app installed, this could be your problem.
Get a data usage app that tells you what app is using how much data. If it shows that it is indeed this new T-Mobile app, there's your problem

Just downloaded it. I'm not concerned with data (tho still want to read that post), I'm more concerned with why a lot of apps that I don't even use seem to always be on.
I think it's because they're stock apps and the default is always on. Once we have root, we should be able to get rid of them, and once we can flash ROMs, we can install stock HTC software, or Android Revolution HD
Just another reason to have s-off and root
Ok, after downloading traffic counter, it looks like it IS my fault for the excessive data usage.
It's showing the speed test app as using 130mb of data (since last reboot, which was yesterday). I admit I went a little crazy on the speedtest app yesterday and today (I've never had 4g speeds before switching to tmobile), but why does it use SO much data? I did quite a few tests, but still.
I tried that traffic counter app. XDA is killing my data 27mb. I spend to much time at this place.

As I'm on an unlimited data plan, I don't really care about data usage. I can go up to something like 5gb and my network (giffgaff, easily the best network in the UK) doesn't really care! The only thing I can't do is tether, but I can create a wifi hotspot for when I need to get on the internet on a bigger screen
If you're in the UK, I strongly implore you to take a look at giffgaff. Link in my sig

if you have a fast connection it needs to send/receiver bigger files to get an accurate account of what your speed it. if it only used like a 512KB file then it'd show your speed as 1028238234978234978MBps.

Just found this on Droid-Life. No one else has seemed to mention this occurring. Does anyone else have an ongoing ("Turn on WiFi") notification on their Verizon GS3?
Not only do I have this, but when I'm at home with my wifi turned off on my phone, but available throughout the house, I keep getting asked to turn on my wifi on my phone. It says:
Known Wi-Fi network available. Connect?
OK
Always auto connect
Not now, remind me later
Excuse me Verizon and your mucking around with my phone. I have unlimited data so I use it instead of wifi. Deal with it. Quit asking me to use wifi. I have it turned off for a reason.

You can, though.
I have root right now. There are guides on how to do it in the Verizon Development subforum.
It's basically just flashing a (large) pre-rooted system.img file in ODIN.
This also doesn't appear to set off the flash counter either and seems to be safe for all of us who have done it.
Okay, since I don't have my phone yet, I'm a little confused....
Does the notification just sit in the notification pull down or does it actually notify you every time you run an app to switch to WiFi? You know, like a notification sound and message flashing in the notification area?
If it's just sitting there, whatever. If it comes up every time you do anything regarding data and tries to tell you to go on WiFi, well, that's f**king annoying.

Not to be too much of a ****, but HLMGTFY (wifi tethering fcc) - first link: <from CNET, but I can't embed links yet>. But anyway, while the rulling dosen't say anything about Sprint, it does show how the wind blows. Although I wasn't trying to be too serious with that statement, that's the genesis of it.
So no one still uses TrevE's WIFI tether, or are there just too few that have root so far?

Well, I know it might not be common, but I did. The stuff in the Play Store mostly seems like a wrapper for the installed tether app.
Here's what I've done so far that is pertenant- obtained my device. installed and removed several free Play Store apps dealing with tethering via wifi, backed up then rooted my phone, changed settings to accept unauth sources for installs, then went to my standby and installed TrevE's wifi tether from apk. Similar to initial issues with the G4 and G3 it craps out, reported error says log generated, but no log available (maybe just a perms issue?). Googled around a bunch and searched around xda-devs with no direct help found. Decided to post on my favorite Android development forum for the first time since the G3 came out.
I haven't tried looking at the TrevE source yet, mainly due to lazyness and my inate hatred of duplicating others' good work. That is the plan for the weak - along with looking at the wifi-LTE aggregation issue - but I mainly wanted to know if others had gotten that far with wifi tethering before I started donating my time hacking together something that might have already been hacked.
Clear as mud?

Sooner or later I'm SURE a flashable will be made (as well as come native in custom ROMS). Just be patient brotha!
I remember hearing about the fcc. As i recall, it applied to plans with data caps. If you have unlimited data, then it wouldn't apply.

FCC and alike are out there to make money for the 1%. Forget them!
As for the Tether, It doens't work with newer phones yet. I haven't seen any updates for a long time. If you can find another program that works it'll be cool. Else, just wait for a Rom with a native tether to be available.

Actually I did get Fabio's WiFi Tether Router working (thx went to musclehead84 for the first suggestion) on mine - somewhat. I still have an issue with it not completely unloading, and have to reboot the phone after I'm done with it, but haven't tried to tweak it yet either. Well worth the $2.5 IMO.
After re-finding TrevE's thread I came to the same conclusion as others - not in active development anymore. Too bad, I'm a real fan of lightweight apps that do what they claim and are free!

Also folks seem to be having good luck talking with Fabio the developer. INstructions to contact are on that page also.
Yea i used the same settings. I disconnected from my wifi and then turned on wifi. Then when i enable wifi it turns it off and i have to manually change again to wifi. Cant get it to work
