i'm a noobe and it was easy. i have my inc rooted and downloaded wireless tether for root users. i set up my ssid, set up the encrition. On the tab i diabled 3G, turned on wireless and saw my network id. very simple.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk&can=2&q=

Will the wifi tether from code.google work on the tab itself. Currently im using my EVO to tether but would be great to tether from my tab itself.

At&t WiFi hotspot on custom roms

Hi,
I would like to know how to get at&t WiFi hotspot working on custom roms. Specifically the cm10 JB Rom.
Thanks

I thought CM10 had wifi tether baked in? If not, get wifi tether from the play store.
EDIT: Or did you mean the apk that picks up when you are in AT&T Hotspot areas and you get free wifi?

Not WiFi tether. I mean picking up the free atnt WiFi like in Starbucks..
Thanks

Not sure if you can sorry :/.
I can't stand that feature though, because my music will cut in and out as I drive home from connecting/disconnect to the million AT&T wifi hotspots in Southern California.

That is the exact reason I have disabled it on mine (or, more specifically, never enabled it in CR). That drives me bananas.

I want this feature also but I am on MIUI.

i dont know why anyone wants this feature on. if you are near a mcdonalds or starbucks check for hotspots in wifi settings and there it is.
you could add the lines back into
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
}

Don't you just need to connect to the att hotspot once, and it will reconnect when you are in range?
I don't leave Wi-Fi on when not at home, or in use, so I liked that feature too on the several phones I had. But on custom ROMs I just had to connect the first time, each subsequent time it was automatic.

I tried this at the hotel I am staying at and it didn't work. It wanted me to pay for access.

AT&T hotspots will only work when you are in range of one of their hotspots. Its not like a nationwide available network. Mostly its McDonalds and Starbucks. If you can't see a "attwifi" ssid in your wireless settings nothing you change in system files will let you connect.

Edit: Try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.android.attsmartwifi
It has a AT&T hotspot locator. It didn't find the one in my town though, so I don't how successful it will be for you.
Edit 2: the myAT&T app also has a locator that found several hotspots in my town I didn't know about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.myWireless
After you log in, more, AT&T Wi-Fi, AT&T Wi-Fi locator, and search by zip code.

Okay it shows you the available WiFi networks but it doesn't log you into the attwifi ones. On att ROMs it has that feature

But only when in range of one of them ...
Once you remember one it will do it automatically from then on.

I am in range of it. I think there is a special app on att ROMs for this capability. I will try a McDonalds to see see if it asks for login info.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

I'm able to connect to the att hotspots with my TouchPad just fine.
Do you mean the notification that "you may need to sign in" after you connect? I get that, and I just have to open the browser and check the agree to terms box, and click continue. It does that to me every time at McDonald's but it doesn't ask for user name or password. Even when the network was remembered it makes me agree again the next time.
Now that I am talking about it I do I remember an app on Eclair on the Captivate that would bypass the agreement part, but it was not there on the stock FroYo, or on the GS II. Is that the app you mean? When I turned on Wi-Fi at McDonalds it would show an orange notification icon and connect. But, I haven't seen that in another phone since.

That is the way it shows on ATT roms on the one x. Thats why I think its a special app in the rom not just a saved wifi connection

If there is a zip version of the stock ROM somewhere its probably in /system/app/ if there is an actual app. I can only find the exe version, and don't know how to extract files from an exe.
Anyone with a stock rooted version could check in /system/app/ for an apk with hotspot or Wi-Fi or ATT in the title.

I got this to work by adding the attwifi to the WPA supplement and putting the att hotspot apk in /system/apps folder.

ATT Hotspot Link
Make sure to copy the permissions from another APK from within that apps folder.
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
}
Reboot once you have done all this and it should auto connect.

Does anyone know how to enable the functionality if using a non-AT&T ROM?

Hi sorry to bump this up but so far I haven't got anywhere with trying to figure out whether this is doable or not
I'm on Task650 and before that Paranoid. Neither of which allow me to get onto AT&T Wifi hotspots
My office building has a dedicated AT&T router which I would like to use because the cellular signal in the building is usually terrible. If I can't get this to work, I'll probably have to fall back on a Touchwiz ROM or stock. Prefer not too
Anyway, the dropbox link no longer works
And I'm unclear if the code above specifically addresses this issue or addresses something else? I'm able to see the hotspots. And I can get an IP. The problem is that it won't let me on the network. I just get a webpage where it expects me to fill in my wifi account info which never happens on stock

Is Wifi Hotspot/Tethering free on CM10?

I don't want to get charged up the asshole! I get crappy wifi signal at home and I just rooted/flashed cm10 on my One S.

If you're question is in regards to T-mobile US. Then the answer is yes it is free and you won't be changed.

Seems too good to be true because my internet is so fast. Are you sure?

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.

Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?

where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot

Thanks, found the wifi tether....any way to place a shortcut to that somehow? Still don't see a way to get the voicemails downloaded like the sprint voicemail used to do and then notify me when a new one came in...please help on this one.
Thanks

What do you mean voicemail downloaded and to notify you? Whenever I get a vm I receive a notification for it..
And with cm10 I don't think there is a shortcut or widget for the hotspot

Google voice will transcribe your voicemails for you , also you can use foxfi for tethering.

Rogers Razr HD cant tether

There has to be a way to tether with this thing... From what I have read around they say... The latest update to JB blocked the tether option... I have it unlocked and using it with Telus... This is going to be a real pain in the rear... I used to use my S2X to tether when I was in the usa on Tmobile daily plans....
Anything I can do ?

You need to add a Dun profile for your provider, if it is prevented by regular way of adding apns, you'll have to use my method to hack it in. No other options that I know of, sorry.

Oh great, then just add dun to the profile that mms resides on. You can add multiple services for each APN. Try making the apn type in this apn like the following :
default,mms,supl,fota,agps,hipri,dun

My tethering want working either gave an error. When I went into the apn I saw there was a FIDO tethering apn pre installed. When I clicked it the first time it still did not let me use it but I clicked on it once our twice more and it seemed to work. Tested it out and tethering was fine once again.
I didn't have to input anything just clicked on it

On my Razr, tethering would disable the internet on the phone. Eventually I solved it by adding the "old-style" APN (for rogers) instead of using the "LTE" apn that by default was in the phone.
So my suggestion is either search the internet for new APN information for telus, or, find someone who has successful tethering on their telus phone and copy the APN they use.

I am using inbuilt tethering app to create wifi access point from my phone. Try that it should work. Not sure why you need 3rd party app for wifi tethering.

You just setup the hotspot, it is pretty straight forward. Just give it a try.
I am on T Mobile USA so wifi tethering is part of my plan. You will have to keep it on or can try some hacks on the net. I haven't tried them though.
