I don't think so, but I am going to try and work with the developers to get it working. They helped do the same for the Captivate and Vibrant.

It opens and starts but I can't see the access point.

It's entirely possible that I'm posessed and having this effect on the phones, but Wireless Tether works for me on a Captivate and Epic with root only.

which version and where did you download? As an access point? Have you actually been able to connect and use internet?

remounted my system as r/w
downloaded SuperUser by ChainsDD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Menu >> check for newer SU >> yes install
Downloaded and installed this wifi-tether: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi..._tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk&can=2&q=Samsung+Galaxy
I also have busybox installed.
wifi tether shows up as an Adhoc, but not as an access point....

Download is good but upload seems like plain EVDO and not RevA.

Tried the latest from Wifi Tether and it seems to work but only in ad-hoc mode. And it is kind of slow..

VERY slow is more like it.

After trying the latest wifi-tether, it appears to have broken my wifi. I cannot connect to my wifi network, even though wifi is turned on. AHHHH
EDIT: OMG I think I actually seriously broke my wifi. I have root enabled using the 1-click method described in the other thread. I installed busy box w/ Titanium Backup, and the latest wifi tether. I pressed tether once to try it and then disabled it. Now my WIFI DOESNT WORKKKK. It sees my wifi but when I connect... it won't connect, it just shows it's available again.

Tuna put down ur epic better yet pm me when all the kinks are ironed out so i can buy an epic lol. Til then my tether works AWESOME on my Evo lol. J/k have fun

it seems to be an app removed by carriers from the Galaxy S line (not sure, looking for someone that has an idea if it would work or not?)

Wifi tether works fine with me with the pre08 version installed. I just used the base installer to install the apk...

siriusxm app

i dont know if anyone knows about sirius xm app being released so i am letting one know it works great on my nexus with dock so i am posting a linkhttp://www.siriusxm.com/app-download/android/siriusxm.apk
and if it comes up as a zip just rename it .apk for the file extension
Took me a little while to find it after install since the App name in the drawer was "Online", but other than that its been working great for me this morning over WiFi
they only give you a free 7 day trial, then you must subscribe.
Damnit, damnit .. no Howard.
Thanks. I had signed up to be notified of this but they didn't send anything.
Sucks we can't get Howard, but NFL Radio should tide me over.
This app Siriusly sucks balls. How are you going to release an app and block your flagship station? Total fail!!!!
Awesome, thanks!
Does this only work over wifi?
Works great with my already active Sirius account.

froyo, holmes.
I'm using Froyo and on 3g it connects to give station listings and let.gr log in, but when I attempt to listen to something complains that I need a data connection.
Worked on EVDO on my Girlfriend's new Samsung Moment I got her today, did not work on T-Mobile 3g on my Nexus one, however I didn't have the greatest reception. Worked great on Wifi though.
I'm on froyo, with cyans root, (needed busybox) and it worked fine over 3g with me.
Do you need to pay extra for the mobile service if you already have an active account with them or is that all you need?

Q&A thread for ICS roms

Forum to discuss the different roms available for the Xoom since we have more than one now.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned was support for adhoc phone to tablet tethering. I'm using the Eos rom, is there something I can do to make it work or does tthis require drivers that are currently unavailable?
Thanks in advance!
looking for home icon on ics browser
Does anyone know if there is a homepage icon in the new ics browser. It's not in favorites where it used to be nor on the new browser menu.

The Honeycomb Tiamat build has ad-hoc support built in. It basically involves modifying the wpa_supplicant. I didn't test it on build 6 and haven't flashed build 8 yet so I am not sure if they have modified this yet. I am sure they will eventually if they have not yet.
Regarding Zone-ICS-12.19.11-v2.1 and exchange
Howdy,
Just flashed this after wiping Dalvoc an Cache, all apps still available, as expected no cam. or 3g/4g. Question is does anybody have exchange calendar available? Syncs to gmail calendar, exchange contacts and mail sync up, but exchange calendar doesn't show in lost of available calendars. Just wondering if it' a common thing and if there is a fix yet.
Otherwise I'm going to keep running it. Calendar isn't a deal breaker for me and once a cam and mobile data works this will totally kick butt. Thanks Mike for a super build.
Post 3=7 more to fo for the dev forums..... WooHoo
Will we see the camera and mic working soon?

Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
My phone is a bit old (motorolla cliq), but I have tried with the wifi tether included with my rom/kernel by adlxmod and also with barnacle. Both of these worked with tiamat/morray I had previously on my Xoom. I really like the ICS builds by EOS, and if my tether would work I will never return to HC!

Wireless Tether on CM10 vzw

Does anyone know a way to get wifi tether to work on CM 10 for vzw gs3? I'm running the Aug 16th CM10 build. Unlocked bootloader. Can't seem to find a wireless tether app that works. I saw that the native wifi hotspot should work in CM10 on other carriers, but it's not working for me. Anyone have a solution? Thanks.
AOSP has tethering built in. It's working for me on austen dickens latest release Just turn it on in the settings
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If the native hotspot isn't working try turning security off. Worked for most on older builds. Don't know if 8-16 should work with security enabled but give it a go without security.

I'm also running that unofficial alpha (plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/QvVGczHD5TF) and the wifi tether seems to work for me. I was able to connect via my wifi-only Kindle and use the web browser. But I've been running this rom for less than a day, so only did a quick check.

Wireless Tether for Root Users

I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you
I use trev e mod. So far works flawless.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.
Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.

Hi Guys,

Next, a bunch of apps on the playstore for wifi tether have not been workings and it was driving me nuts, but the "Wifi Tether Router" from the Playstore by Fabio Grasso worked like a charm!
Question on this tethering for rooted devices. Is your cell phone carrier able to know whether you're tether without there tethering plan..does this like hide data usage...reason I asked is because I have the unlimited data for AT&T n don't want it changed I'd they suddenly see an outstanding amount of data being used

my suggestion to this would be that use it in moderation. i would not go all out tether on you unlimited plan. because in excess, att will find out. i dont know of any app that works to mask your tethering. foxfi or pdanet claimed to do this, but i think that all show.
I've heard it said that pdanet wifi tethering hides terther usage to some extent - clearly it doesn't judging by browser/OS identifier -

Download ES FILE EXPLORER. When you open up the app
click the world/phone icon
Scroll down and click net manager.
Then click create a hotspot network when you click that press the home button immediately after. It will say something like a network connection is not able or something if you don't have tethering but it works.

Here's a better, safe method for rooting MK2.
And here's a non-app method of getting stock tethering to work (though it requires a root explorer like ES File Explorer anyway lol).
