Anyone know where I can get a working WiFi Tether apk for CM7? The one I have from CM6 isn't working.
The stock tethering app works fine for me
Why wouldn't you use the built in hotspot? It works great.
You just need to use the built in hotspot, under wireless settings. You have the same features, can change the ssid, and password encrypt it. I'm using it right now.

use the built-in tether app. To make it really easy add it to a PowerControl widget (add widget to screen, select "Portable WiFi Hotspot" from the list of options).
If you don't want to use it, the other best one (in my experience) is called something like "Wireless Tether for Root Users"
Just use the built-in option under wireless settings...
Or check THIS page
Lol poor rickballer

I don't know if this has been mentioned but the stock hotspot iis pretty nasty. I suggest that
When I try and enable the built in Portable Hotspot it immediately deselects and says "Error." Any ideas?

Happens to me from time to time, just reboot your phone and should fix it.

This. Thanks for the help guys and putting up with a lame thread.
Not lame for asking a question. You could have posted this in the development section.
Sweet, looks like restarting helped, my 4G speeds still sucks though in this area, i restarted and threw 4G and tethering on and tested my speed on my ipod touch and got .32Mbps/.21Mpbs and my battery was draining 1% per minute, lol.
Running CM7-n#14
I love the built in tether, but is there a way to make a widget for it? I'm just lazy and don't like having to jump through menus haha.
Its built into the power control widget.

Will I get charged by Sprint when using the stock CM7 tether capabilities?

Able to wifi tether to apple devices, but no luck with laptops or android devices. " does support ad hoc network" What wifi tether programs are others using? Thanks
wifi tether works. i used it this past weekend for 2 days.
if youre already rooted, you can just use native tethering. just delete tethermanager from /system/app no need for barnacle of wifi tether for root.

What does this mean? I downloaded wifi tether and then uninstalled it, but would like to be able to tether my tablet when we are on vacation. I am rooted.
android has the ability to tether out of the box.
carriers disable that and charge like $20 extra if you wanna be able to tether.
if you use titanium backup and freeze tethermanager.apk (or whatever it is called) you get the ability to wifi tether again without messing with any other third party apps.
look for it in /system/app and once you freeze it delete it or whatever you want to do with it, go to settings > wireless and network > mobile ap. if tether manager is gone you are able to use this native mode already on your phone to tether all you like. i would steer clear of apps like pdanet and tether for root, as usage of these apps appears to be sent back to att by tethermanager.
Is the built in tethering part of AT&Ts "bloatware"? I may have deleted it using Titanium Backup.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks in advance.
Thx it worked for me . I installed busy box as root user , then installed titaniumbackup . i went to backup restore tab. Froze tether manager then uninstalled tether manager and it works flawlessly now . Thx forums
Samsung infuse 4G
Yes!
It's these kinds threads that make me want to buy you guys a beer! As a new android user, I know very little, but when I ignore the haters/trolls/ignorant people, and smart asses, I find gems like this. To think I almost paid for it because of the salesman insisting that tethering through AT&T was the ONLY way. Thanks a bunch to all you guys who give back.
Thanks! Worked like charm. AT&T go kick rocks!
Mobile AP warning message
I am running Infused 1.5 on my phone. So from what I am reading in several tethering threads, I am able to use the native app for tethering. When I use MobileAP, the original warning message is still there "A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required...."
Sorry if this is a noob question, but is this message not supposed to be there anymore? or did I do something wrong?
yes you should not be getting that message. check to see if tethermanager is still in /system/app.

I was just about to post a similar question Im also on infused 1.5 and just tried the tethering, the message your talking about is the one at the top of the screen that doesn't go away that says "Tethering/Mobile hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please ect...." the one I was getting before I installed. The infused 1.5 I would click on the mobile AP box to turn on the tethering and a message saying I didn't have the service would pop up and turn off the tethering but that doesn't happen anymore I also just checked my plan features and tethering does not show up. I remember reading one of the features of the infused 1.5 was tethering but I didn't know how it worked until I read this thread. Thank you guys
But if I'm running Infused, why woukd that file still exist?
So you think I would be ok ignoring the message?

Hot spots? Isn't this ment for connecting your phone to your labtop/computer to share your phone's internet?

Yes, also called wifi tethering or mobile access point. You can enable this in wireless settings if you pay extra for a tethering plan or remove tether manager.

Okay wait, so just freezing tethermanager wont work. I'd have to uninstall it to tether? I'm running stock rooted btw
i still dont know what freezing means, but it doesnt sound very guaranteed. tethermanager is malicious at best so i just completely delete it, theres no advantage to keeping it around.
Im running an ICS CM9 Kang on my Nexus S 4G. It doesnt have a baked in hotspot hack, im looking for a ROM with a native hotspot hack.
Or even just an app that will let me use my hotspot with S.U. access. The regular apps im used too dont appear on the market/play store when i search for them, i guess they dont exist anymore.
(FWIW The Nexus isnt my phone, I use a Epic Touch 4G and i dont even know what a kang is (lol) )
About none of the tethering apps showing when you search for them. I think sprint blocks market searches for things they don't want us using. Try searching for them from your computer on the play store and I bet you'll see them. There used to be a app called market enabler that you could install to get around this but I haven't used it in a long time.

I"m trying to find out what files are chagned to make this work, i'm pretty sure it was working on CNA 1.6, but I'm on 2.0 and its not working now and the dev is focused more on Gnex i think.
I know in 2.3.7 it was system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so per Peter Alfonso's fix, i dropped the one from his ICS bugless beast in my phone and still no go. computer connects but does not have internet access. the signal icon loses the 3g and turns gray as well. really want to get this working.
On the ICS leak, it still has the entitlement check for hotspot feature
Normally, you would freeze or delete the tethering manager apk in titanium, or use MYSQLite app to disable the entitlement check in the settings apk...but neither of those things are present in the ICS leak
Anybody know how to do this?
You got me excited for a moment. It looked like a how to guide.

lol, yes it sort of does. Sorry.
This should be easy, probably just a change in the filename for the manager apk
I tried freezing the wifi sharing manager and the TetheringProvision, but it either crashed the settings apk or didnt have an effect.

I got the hotspot working by installing the 14 Toggle Quick Panel mod and then enabling/disabling using the Wifi Hotspot toggle. Flashed the zip here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=82 in CWM.

There is still an apk present in the /system/app folder called tetheringmanager.apk, saw it when I was deodexing, maybe it just has a new name.
Nevermind, freezing it doesn't help the situation.

Hrm, strange....usually titanium picks up on this kind of thing.
I'm going to try the 14 panel someone suggested.
It seems to me that where before it used tetheringmanager.apk to check for the lack of provision if it was NOT available, something in the framework is now saying its not available unless tethering manager says so.

mobile hotspot worked for me
In the UltraCfg app i tried setting it to Tethering Always ON. It asked for a restart for the change to take effect, but it locked up my phone. After pulling the battery and starting up the phone i tried to turn on the mobile hotspot. While it was trying to verify the tethering plan the blue hot spot symbol came on, so i just hit cancel. I was able to connect a device with no problems. USB tethering worked the same way, just cancel when it tried to do its verification. I'm currently tethering right now.

No need to hit cancel. Just hit home. This absolutely works. I got wifi tethering for root users working too, but I like working with stock features.
Follow this guide, bottom of page 3. Even though UltraCfg already appears to have set tethering always on, you need to set it again. Reboot.

I flashed this and it's great but claims to have free tethering but when I turn it on it connects but doesn't let Internet pass through. Should I use a downloaded tether app like open garden or does the htc hotspot work for anyone else?
Thanks ahead of time.
No mine does not work but its a known issue with ordroidn but I'm tethering again thanks to a wonderful app called WiFi tether. At first I thought it doesn't work but found out it was my settings that were incorrect. Once I got the settings correct I was up and tethering in no time! It's a great App! If you need help with settings just let me know and I'll help! But this application really works! I'm finally tethering again! I'm so happy! You might want to try this app if you want to tether, remember get the settings right and you will be tethering also in no time!

I tried that app, didn't work for me.
What setting did you use?
I tried what was mentioned in the app description off the market.
Hey Guys, just rooted the Photon Q, was wondering how i could set up the wifi tether? What have you guys been using?
I want wifi tether not usb, and no switching roms
also, is there a specific version of the wifi tether for root users app youre using, with specific settings?
I'm on 4.0.4 Build Number: 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14
Thanks!
I used to use this one on stock rooted.
Edit - I haven't tried it on the Q, but this app is old school but always got the job done in the past.

Ya using the app now but not working, it sends out infrastructure wifi, but nothing seems to actually get internet from it...
Using these settings
Change Device-Profile" and choose "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" then choose "Change Setup-Method" and hit "Netd (master)". And also MSS Clamping and Routing fix checked. Nothing gets internet from it
Hm, I can't remember the particular settings I was using... I did have to make some changes to get it to work infrastructure mode, I do remember that. It would always provide internet access, but the default settings would only send out an ad-hoc network. I didn't have to make any changes per se to get the internet tether to work, I only had to make changes (similar to the ones you made) which enabled infrastructure mode.
This is assuming we are talking about the Play Store app. I haven't used the other app I linked on my Q, give it a shot.
