Hey everyone,
I used VisionARY to temp root my G2 and I'm trying to use Barnacle for hot spot tethering. It has super user access and says its running but my network doesn't show up in my iPad or anywhere else. I'm using a 5 key WEP. I've tried using different channels. Any ideas why?

I tried several configurations on Barnacle connecting from Win7 and never had any luck. I finally downloaded Wifi Tether from here (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk):

Initially that didn't work either until I turned on WPA on Wifi Tether and then Win7 connected to it without any complaints.
Hope that helps.
Kevin
That worked. Its running perfect even without WPA. Thank you!

Have a new problem now. My iPad picks up and drops my network over and over every second or two. A friend of mine has a Hero using the same tethering app with no issues. Any ideas why?

Hey everyone. I'm from the EVO forums, so please bear with me. My uncle has a charge and wants the tether app free. Can someone point me in the direction of how I would do this? Thanks.

Alright, so apperently you guys don't have root and you flash everything through odin, is that right?

Oh we have Root, we flash CWM through Odin and use CWM itself to flash our kernels/ROMs. There are plenty of wireless and wired tethering methods. For wired you can use EasyTether(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mstream.easytether_polyclef&feature=related_apps) although it's a little pricy. For wireless you can use Open Garden(https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether&feature=search_result) it's pretty much a clone of Wireless Tether for Root Users, but that got removed.
As for rooting your phone, I can guarantee you if you follow this (noob-proofed) guide you will have your phone rooted, overclocked, lagfixed, ROMd, modded and whatever you may want to do very easily! After all it's what helped me get root on the first day of owning my Charge(and I've never owned a smartphone before it)

Thank you so much. Odin threw me off because we don't use it on the EVO. I will thank when I get home.

Lol if you're going to thank anyone be sure to thank chadness for the incredibly easy to follow guide!
Ok, so I got him setup. Now what if he goes to a Verizon store and needs some help. How do I get him back to a stock setup?
You're just going to flash the stock ED2 file(http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?481-LEAK-STOCK-ED2-Droid-Charge-FULL-ODIN!) then boot the phone up. It will say an OTA update is available and that will automatically update you back to stock EE4, that's all there is to it!
edit: Make sure to disable lagfix before doing so.
Barnacle used to work on my Charge but now I get an error message on startup:
NAT:Could not set MTU of pdpbr1:
Invalid argument
I deleted/reinstalled it. I even cleared the data but it won't work anymore. Is Wifi Tether a better app?
Never tried barnacle but I guess for wireless Open Garden works, I'm not too sure because I can't connect to the dam app with my Wii/PSP/NDS. My computer connected to it fine(with pages going quite slow)but it took a while for it to connect, longer then it does to connect to my router. It's weird that it's so slow when we have 4g that is faster then most of our home connections.
Well Barnicle used to work before the free tethering was over July 7. But now it's not working and giving me that message. Maybe it has to do with the free tethering permissions. I have no idea.

Hey here's the lowdown.
4g xoom w/tiamats 3.2.4 lte rom. Same kernal packaged with the rom.
I've searched around looking for a wireless tether app to work with the xoom.
Wireless tether 3.1-beta, wireless tether 2.0.7, barnical, etc.
None work. Trying to tether laptop to xoom. Thanks.

Are you just NOT paying attention to the initial post for that ROM? It clearly states tethering, at least 4G, does not work with that ROM. You have to disable LTE. It is a bug with the Kernel/ROM and it should be fixed soon.
Luckily I'm not as much of a nob as yu think. I did read the op of his thread and saw that. Even when in 3g (toggled via settings), it won't tether.
For some reason the apps won't complete the process of setting up the tether. IDK if its something to do with the roms settings or the app. I use wireless tether personally on my x2 and it works great.
Guess I should say it fail at "starting softap" and "activating wifi interface".
Hope this helps with diagnosis.

Try removing any security and see if it works?

Security removed and still no joy. What is everyone else using to tether their xooms 4/3g?
Side note, hotspot notification from rom (blue tether hotspot notification) shows up when wifi tether is running.
Updated to beta8 and still doesn't work.

I don't use any special application, I just use the Wifi AP ability that is already native to Android.... it works fine with the XOOM.
That's funny cause everything that I have used, even the ap android tethering, doesn't work. Idk. Maybe I just have bad luck. Thx for yur guys help.

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.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.
I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!
my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?
Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

I don't know if you have found a fix for this or not but here is a link to the version that I have and I have never had any problems from it.

If the play store doesn't work just click the "here" and it will dwnload directly to you phone.

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.

I'm still waiting for my Nexus to arrive in the mail so can't verify it personally, but others have stated that FoxFi seems to work on Sprint Nexus 5 devices and you doesn't require root afaik...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi2
bump i still need to kno this also... need to tether bad.. i seen some way that looked hard so im hoping theres a easier way then the way i saw
Foxfi doesn't work without root, at this point no wifi tethering app will work without root.
Even pdanet's Bluetooth tethering doesn't even work anymore.
open garden might still work, but it forces you to share your data with anyone else using the app.
