Barnacle wifi

Every time i turn it on it connects to my laptop then disconnects after a few seconds. It keeps on saying that it timed out. Any ideas why? Or maybe of a better app thatll let me jump on the phones 3g?

No better apps, but there are now ways to access mobileAP if you dont mind modding your phone... Several posts in the developers section.

He speaks the truth, MobleAP is way better. Barnacle and other wifi tethering apps make your phone a ad-hoc network that not all computers/phones can see but MobileAP actually makes your phone a wireless router.

LG MyTouch Q

I know this is a brand new phone and this isn't the correct forum, but one doesn't exist for this specific model.
So I realize no customized roms, but I'm looking for a way to enable WiFi tethering.
My wife has this phone. I have the Galaxy S 4g (no CM for me sadly). My stock image allows Mobile WIFI tethering.
Hers Does also, but it brings me to a T-Mobile screen on the device tethered asking to pay $15/month for it, whereas with mine it just works.
Is there another application I can get for this to work?

Do a search in the market for wifi tethering; barnacle seems to run well (for all android phones).

A google or meta search engine search wouldn't hurt as well.
Off hand pda net should work as well. I bought the pro version for my g1 worked like a charm.

Don't those apps require root?

you can also change your user agent string on your computer to match the one on your phone. That is what I had to do, and then it will take you to some mobile versions of websites, but that is no big deal for most. At the bottom of most websites you can choose mobile or classic view.

Pda net does not require root.

It does require paying and a driver installed on each computer you're tethering to. It uses USB.

or you could just change your user agent string like I have said.

i helped my friend set hers up and i tried the quick fix by downloading quick settings in the market.... and then you can check the settings and unlock the hidden mobile tethering option. I wasnt able to get a solid connection at the time, but i didnt reboot the phone or toggle airplane. it showed up and my computer saw the connection, but no go. Im purchasing the phones in a few days and i will try to do the onetouch root, and i'll let you know how that goes

[Q] Xoom not tethering

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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

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.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

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.

[Q] any solution to tether with ICS?

Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason

Have you tried open garden ? On the market
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections

Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

I do that and it connects, but I get no internet. The bars never change colors showing there is an active internet connection...

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).

Noob mobile hotspots issue

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

Not sure if i'm any help at all, but every time ive used wifi tethering, i need to load something on my phone after enabling tethering in order for the inernet to work on the computer. it never seems to work correctly until i use data on the phone after turning it on and connecting.

Freeze tether app in titbu. Done.

So I installed open garden tether and it works fine that way. Except for the fact that my wife's infuse stock doesn't see the ssid from a foot away.??? My computers and other friends cell's can connect, weird...

Need I repeat.. and slightly mod..
ROOT as you said that you had done. You can root stock. Then freeze or uninstall tethering manager in titanium backup. Done. Make sure you have a visible SSID
