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 just used the integrated wifi hotspot.
"Settings>>Wireless and network>>Mobile AP"
And have at it. Worked great.

You don't have to have the tethering plan? Can't att ttell?

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.

I dont see those apps in the marketplace. I take it you have to root?
I used EasyTether Pro. Works on my Mac fine. I have rooted the phone already, any way of getting a WiFi one now that it's rooted?
Ya you have to be rooted. Go to 4shared.com and search for barnacle.apk.

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.
Hey guys,
Now that Verizon's Mobile Hotspot promotion is done, what are you using to tether with your rooted Droid Charge? I am trying to use Barnacle but it keeps giving me errors.
Thanks!
Simple, Pay for the native app.

I currently don't tether, I was planning on using this; https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
but whenever I search for it on my Charge I can't seem to find it on the market place, and clicking the direct link just gives me an error. Hope someone has found a good wireless tether, going away for the weekend and could really use one!

+1for OpenGarden. I have been using it on my Thunderbolt for a weeks now and haven't seen any issues.
I loaded Barnacle and rooted my phone last night, so far so good. But I am going to also try Open Garden to see it it meets my need (see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158476 )
so just to clarify guys, if use this tethering program, it can help me save a few bucks comparedd to paing for verizon's optional tethering service? ;-)
I've tried both the tethering programs in this thread and neither are detected on my PSP/NDS, the app also doesn't ask or tell me the SSID or passphrase, anyone know a REAL wireless tethering app where you can make it act pretty much like a router..?

I have never found one, PSP/NDS probably have the same issue with connecting to Ad Hoc networks. I had to root tablet and edit a file to make it work with A500.
Open Garden seems to have a better pass through for speed, used Wireless Tether for quite some time with no issues.
I pay enough to Vz since I never go over 5G a month even with tethering I don't feel bad at all.

All,
Not sure if this has been discussed previously or not but if you would like to get wifi tethering working in infrastructure mode on the Charge follow the steps below. Some people are claiming that Verizon is monitoring 3rd party wifi tethering and will bill you for that usage. So use at your own risk.
1. Follow the steps here to root your Stock EE4 image to root. I chose not to install one of the ROMs yet and I am using imnut's PBJT non-OC voodoo kernel.
2. Once you have root (verified by the Superuser app appearing in your Applications). Install android-wifi-tether 3.1-beta2. This app can be found here (need to allow external sources).
3. Once installed open the Wireless Tether application and go to Settings. Change the device profile to "Samsung Fascinate" and you should be good to go from that point.
Happy tethering.
One thing I am uncertain of is this "hotspot_event_monitor" driver that is loaded. djp592 discusses a kernel mod here that removes this driver but I could not find an explanation of what it does exactly. Anyone know?

2.0.7 works much better

Verizon is tracking all mac addresses with none paid tethering activity that are using wifi tether and barnacle. They will throttle you down and charge the data back to you on your bill. Fyi

What is your source that VZ is NOT using their DPI boxes?
Oh wait, they do already, otherwise they would have the near-real-time data usage up on their website.
I would presume it's more the actual packet, as it would look much different between a DC and your laptop. There are many other methods that a DPI can use to figure it out. Also most wifi tethers are using nat, so mac address based makes no sense.

ok, then more to the point, has anyone actually had their data throttled or received charges on their bill?
No, and I Wi-Fi tethered moderately on my Droid 1 since its release date (first with wifi-tether and then Barnacle when it came out because I like Barnacle better), on Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread.
And now I still tether on my Droid Charge with Barnacle and we don't see any extra fees. Of course, I just switched to the Gingerbread leak, so we'll see what happens.

I would like to add that after step 3 I had to change the setup-method to softap for samsung (master) i think this step is important to tether with infrastructure. It works fine on GB 2.3.4 running humble 2.1
That must be a Gingerbread thing. I am running stock EE4 ROM and "Auto" worked just fine.
One thing I did run into is that after turning off tethering you need to may need to cycle the wifi adapter to be able to associate to a wifi network.

Can you elaborate why you think 2.0.7 works better? On the Charge 2.0.7 seems to only support ad-hoc tethering.
The reason I went down this path is not for tethering per-se but just to be able to create a WPA network between my phone and laptop. Ad-hoc networking only supports WEP.
I wonder how verizon is conducting the monitoring? Are they just looking for your wifi adapter going into master mode? Or actually looking for evidence of tethering (i.e. iptables, dnsmasq)?

I doubt this. It is highly unlikely the tethering app rebroadcasts PHY-layer information. Far more likely is it retransmits L7 information. It is acting as a router, after all.

I will just say what's in the public realm. Try somewhere like dslreports and see what people are saying. There are a lot of posts from people that sound like they are absolutely sure it's sandvine.
If that is true, and you know what they are capable of, you know that it's not anything "on the phone".
Thanks for this, was wondering what I had to do to get it running in infrastructure.
If Verizon slows me down or tries to charge me for tethering, I'm just going to sell the phone and pay the ETF. I got the phone new for REALLY cheap, so I could probably make enough from it to not only pay the ETF and cover the cost of the phone, but come out on top by 20 bucks or so.
i know that on my iphone which im usuing for sh*** and giggles, i have a hack that makes apn adjustments that mask the tethered usage so Verizon cant tell that im using the phone to tether. to them it just looks like normal browsing. is there not an adjustment like that for android?
i for one have been tether for free on my droids for years and never had any issues. but on the flip side i never used more than 5gb tethering either....

Verizon=/=T-Mobile.
Mobile Hotspot functionality was included for free as a promo when Verizon's 4G phones first launched, but that promo has ended.
Frankly, I can understand why: Verizon's 4G network is as fast or faster than many people's home connections (substantially faster, in many cases), so there would be no reason most people wouldn't just use their phone as their primary ISP. That kinda load would lead to one thing: bye-bye 4G speed!
my 4G connection on my cell phone = 12mb/s
my home connection = 2mb/s
WHAT.
I believe that you are also capped with how much data you can use when you activate that service.
Not capped but bandwidth will be throttled depending on usage.

Not true. I used 73 gb in my last cycle and 20gb + the cycle before that with no throttling or bandwith reduction. I get consistent speeds all the time, 30+ down 6+ up : ) I also signed up for the tethering package.

Download the latest wireless tether beta, open it and go into settings and click change device profile and scroll down to samsung fascinate and select it, then click on change setup method and select "Softap for Samsung (master)". That should give you infrastructure mode.
Not to take this too far off topic...but does anyone know the exact name of the .apk for Verizon Hotspot. I am rooted, and my phone shows the app available in the apps section, but I can not find it with either root explorer or Titanium Backup to either freeze it or remove it. The name is just not logical...
Anyone know the exact name.apk for it.

You can no longer remove the hotspot app. It is tied into the framework on samsung froyo and gb builds. You could hide the launcher for it but that is it. When it gets removed you end up breaking wireless.

While I could not get Foxfi to work, I was able to get the bluetooth DUN with PDAnet+ to work on a registered copy, this is as of 12:01 am EDT on 8/30/2013. My phone currently reads 4.2.2 for version. I have not tested the USB connection. Wifi Tether appears to be locked down tight. PDANet+ appears to support using the Bluetooth DUN and the wifi on the host computer to form a wifi hotspot anyway, so perhaps that's a work-around for other devices (stupid that it requires a computer to be the intermediary).
yep USB tether works fine. just have to install motorola ADB interface correctly first. but i thought this thread was about wifi tether so didn't mention earlier

Doesn't Verizon have a mandate from the FCC to allow 3rd party apps to enable wifi tethering? It will really suck if it is impossible to enable this.
I also got PDANet USB tethering to work...doesn't help for my iPad, though.
I saw a report that someone had FoxFi working on a Verizon moto x. Odd that it would work on that but not the droids.

That only applies to tiered data plans, not unlimited.

If that were true how are they offering the 6GB EDGE data tier that doesn't allow tethering? The ruling simply prevented them from blocking access to tether apps (eg going out of their way to make sure you couldn't even download the tethering apps to try like Foxfi), it didn't require that they make the phones WORK with the tether apps from my understanding.
Hey everyone there is root for all 4 new moto devices. Entitlement check hack works. Search moto x root you will find the thread on xda.

So is rooting really the only option still for tethering? All I want is to be able to tether my Droid Maxx to my Nexus 7 in my car and was hoping not to have to go through so much trouble.
It really isn't any trouble to root. Download the app. Install and run it. Let it reboot 3 times, takes about 2-3 minutes. Then download an sqlite editor and change the one value and reboot. Takes less than 5 minutes from beginning to end.

Oh I see. I didn't realize it was that simple. In that case I will definitely do that this weekend. Thanks!

No problem. That's what this community is for. Easiest root I've ever seen. Read jcase thread in original android development on root. Super easy.

Ok I've rooted the phone as instructed in that thread. Now what? I have SuperSu and SQLite installed. What database I'm I editing to enable me to use my phone as a mobile hotspot?

Follow the steps. Quite easy, takes like 2 minutes including rebooting when done.

Awesome! Worked like a charm!
No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.
I don't have a settings one.
Does anyone know why whenever I try to do the entitlement check that there is no settings part. I have done it before and recently reset my phone and now it isn't there help me please I have to have a hotspot
