lost tether app.. gone for good?

when i did a hard restart i stayed rooted with fresh 1.1 (wired) but the apps were gone except superuser. i found them all again except tether.. and i cant seem to find that anywhere.
any ideas how to get it again? can i tether without it? is it safe to flash fresh 1.1 on top of 1.1?

just reflash if you cant find it

Google android WiFi tether. First result that comes up. Make sure you get the HTC 1.7 pre

You have a rooted HTC Hero? Try downloading and installing this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi..._1_61-pre1_htc.apk&can=2&q=label:Experimental
Hope that helps. It worked fine for me.

ya i think thats the one i ended up getting =)

crap.. i think i got this one
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ss_tether_1_70-pre1_htc.apk&can=2&q=HTC+Donut
so when you tether i guess you are doing it over bluetooth and not the usb link?

It generates a WiFi signal. You don't need to have it plugged into the USB cable. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

in a way yes.. at their web site they also have instructions to use bluetooth, in which case you could run on either mobile or wifi depending on what your using your phone on at the time.
wonder whats faster to link via wifi or bluetooth.
i did a serch for a tether walkthrough/ howto and didnt find much, not even on youtube

Bluetooth is slow as molasses compared to WiFi. I have no idea if you can do BT tether with our phones or not, though.

I think it works, but your BT Adpater has to be setup for it. I don't know much about BT other than pairing lol. Ad-Hoc = Easy&Fast.

they have the youtube vid linked.. i think it would work, but i have to install my laptop bt drivers to test.

[Q] Wireless Tether

Hello,
I am brand new to the forums. I have done some poking around but I want to have a threat dedicated to this as Im going to assume a lot of people are going to have this problem.
I just bought my gtablet about 2 hours ago. I havent been able to root it or install any roms yet because I bought it in chicago and I am on my way back home to michigan right now as I type this.
I am trying to see if anyone knows how to get wireless tether to work on the gtablet. I have a rooted incredible running cyanogen 6.0.2 w/ wireless tether. I am connected to my phone right now as I type this on my netbook. I cant get my gtab to see my wireless tether...any ideas or things to try. I cant be the only one thats run into issues.
Secondly, maybe this needs its own thread. I was going to try doing it via bluetooth with the bluetooth sync. Both devices see eachother.....both devices request a pair confirmation wiht the same key...but both are saying paired not connected. Any ideas why this is? I sync with other BT devices from my INC just fine.
So, wireless tether...wont work....works from other devices but not my gtab to my incredible...bluetooth wont connect.
I plan on rooting my gtab tonight when i get home and settled in. Any ideas would be awesome.
Thanks!

i use wireless tether for my gtablet from my rooted incredible but i have heard others say they cannot get it to work. i am using the wireless tether that is installed on redemptive revolution 2.1.2

Your problem is what i ran into, ad-hoc networks vs infastructure. I am able to switch my gtablet back and forth using the information i found here: h ttp://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital-novel-android-tablet-discussion/4505-i-have-infrastructure-adhoc-working-same-time-do-you-want-look-here.html
Its not just layed out perfectly for you but the main idea is to edit wpa_supplicant.conf to look for ad-hoc. The link has a apk that lets you go from your current settings to a tethered setting then back again. The link is the only reason I figured it out and is the easiest way i found so far. Sorry I dont have time to lay out a straight forward guide for the gtablet right now but being I novice I was able to get it using the link.

hmm, mine works with no modifications.

Not mine, but I will hold off with any more mods until a new TnT rom is released. Even with Titanium, getting the device back to par is getting old. Not even fooling with the openGL patch, since my luck will be boot loops and a forced reset of the rom.

Some phones can tether using infrastructure setup but mine (droid1) and many others can only create ad-hoc networks to tether. From what I have read android can only connect to wireless infrastructure not ad-hoc without going through the steps in the link. I may be way off on this and would love to be wrong since the hack is kind of a pain to implement but its the only thing that has worked for me.

Wifi tether working for me now!
Apparently the version I had and the one in the market are not a fit for my device. A kind soul from a "rival" land pointed me to a version that does work.
Thanks!
I appreciate wifi tether (faster than expected), but we would save some serious battery power for both devices if USB tether was available

Phone is the Incredible.
UPDATE:
The wifitether app worked fine with TNT 1.03, but does not work with Tnt 2.0- device not seen, just like BEFORE I got this app. This issue is getting old quickly.
UPDATE 2:
Now it works... not understanding this at all. I need beer.

I have searched these forums and the net but can not find an easy solution to get the adhoc wifi of the Droid 1 to be seen by the Gtablet. In my searching I found where file wpa_supplicant.conf was to be edited and it fixed the problem (it was very involved). But I remember reading some place that had the file edited that you could just back up the original and copy the new over. Does anyone know where this updated file might be or a fix for someone like me that does not feel comfortable editing files?
I'll admit it... I'm looking for a noob way to fix this problem.

Hey there need help. I have a friend that just rooted his phone and is using wireless tether, but His computer won't recognise the phone as WiFi. What should he check for or fix?

I have tried everything I have read, and I still can not get my G Tablet to see my Droid 1. I have tried both Barnacle WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether. Both my G Tablet and my Droid 1 are rooted. My iPod Touch works with my Droid 1, so I don't think the Droid is the problem.

There has to be a way to do it. I thought I read somewhere how to do it but I just can't find it. I have had my Gtablet from the day they went on sale at Sears and have looked at 1000's of post then I decided it was time to root both devices to use the wifi... only to find out the adhoc from the Droid 1 wouldn't work. BAH!

It does work, but not sure it does on all flavors of firmware as I had it set up just not sure which firmware I was testing on at the time... I did have problems with Original TNT stock firmware... same files I was trying worked on not sure whether early CM or Ztab... but on original TNT it looked like a wpa_supplicant bug as was definitiely seeing the conf file but wouldn't find anything with the scan... so came back with error like the original tablet I had to return did for any Infrastructure scan... I'm bouncing between both my Gtabs running diff firmware on each so easy to get confused at times... What version are you running and I'll try to give it a go tomorrow...

Stock GTab, rooted with market....
Flashed with clockworkmod from one of the threads here a file called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip and it worked.
Tethered to my Droid 1 to test...
I see my infrastructure AP and my adhoc "AP" but with a (*) in front of the name.

I am also running the original G Tablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.
UPDATE: I realized last night that my files were not being overwritten with the modified ones, even though I was telling Root Explorer to replace the existing ones. I will delete the old wpa_supplicant.conf file before copying the modified version next time, to see if it makes a difference. Right now I am restoring everything that I had on the GTab little by little after frying my wifi settings last night. I couldn't get it working, so I did a factory reset and lost everything.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Yep. That was my problem. My modified wpa_supplicant.conf file was not replacing the original one. Once I deleted the old one manually, and copied the modified one in its place, it worked. I can now tether to my original Motorola Droid. I am using a program called AdhocAble to switch easily between two different wpa_supplicant.conf files (one for adhoc, and another for infrastructure).
MORE INFO: The problem I am having now is that my wireless quits working after each reboot. I have to change the file permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf to allow read-write for Other. Once I do this, the wireless starts working again. I even tried changing onwership of the wpa_supplicant.conf file to system.wifi, but that stopped AdhocAble from being able to change between adhoc and normal modes. I will probably try that patched supplicant binary soon.
FINAL UPDATE: Wow. wpa_adhoc-signed.zip worked for me, too. My Droid 1 is showing up with an asterisk beside it in my wifi list. This is the best fix yet. Yahoo! Thanks tcrews for posting this one.

THANX... I'll give this a try as after having gone through this on multiple tablets multiple times this smelled of a wpa_supplicant bug on TNT!

Rooted stock Gtablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.
I have not tried any different ROMs.

+1 for this post. major thanks to the poster. i was having problems with my gtab seeing my droid1 when running wireless tether, and this did the trick. for reference, currently using tnt 2.0.2 (supplemental applied to tnt 2.0.0). now ill be able to take this thing with me on the road this weekend and enjoy it. thanks again!

[Q] PS3 Wireless Tether issue (Wierd...already looked at other threads)

Hey, yes, I know there are already several threads about this but I am a bit confused. My Set up: CDMA Hero CM 6.1 stable. Me being a newb for the most part to all of this...I just found out the other day...after have a rooted phone for about 6 months...that my hero can do wireless tether. So I installed the app and bam...works like a charm, immediately after installing and running for the first time, my ps3 DID detect and connect to my phone wirelessly. I even played a round of free-for-all on Black Ops to test it out and it worked great. Now today I had some down time so I figured I'd play some COD...but now my ps3 is NOT detecting or connecting with my phone. WTF!? I should also mention that after installing wireless tether on my wife's rooted EVO(froyo), I was also able to connect through her EVO on the PS3. Haven't tried using the Evo again as it's currently not in front of me. Just curious why it worked then and not now, or why it even worked at all if the PS3 supposedly doesn't pick up ad-hoc?(From what I've gathered, Wireless Tether uses AdHoc) I do have full EasyTether, which I was using before I discovered WT, so I'm not SOL, but I was hoping to finally be able to eliminate the cords and wires and what not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
Wife just got back home, grabbed her evo, and what do you know...ps3 connects with no issues...so now I have to figure out what happened or what I did to my phone to "F" it up. I am running DroidWall...the firewall is disabled, wireless tether is checked on whitelist, but this was the case when my phone was connected to the ps3 before, but I'm thinking that perhaps this or some other app is interfering. Anything I should make sure is allowed or denied data access? I'm at a loss.

^Bump^ Please...any ideas

[Q] Can't Tether or connect via bluetooth with HTC EVO

Hi,
I have the wifi-only XOOM (nonrooted) and a rooted HTC EVO. I can pair and connect each device with another blue-tooth device, so I know that both have blue-tooth working.
I can't get the Xoom and EVO to connect via blue-tooth. It says "paired but not connected" and when I try to click on it to connect it, nothing will happen (on other items it will search...then connect). The only options available to me are rename device and unpair.
I've rebooted, nothing works. I've tried the instructions for tethering, and just trying to get the blue-tooth connection to work.
1. Has anyone successfully paired the wifi only xoom with the evo?
2. Any ideas or suggestions for me?
Thanks. This is really frustrating because the tethering is the reason I bought the wifi only xoom.
Edit: I thought I typed this, but it is not showing. Somewhere on XDA are the instructions for wireless tethering, (sorry don't have link handy) and I have followed them. Doesn't work.

I rooted my EVO with CM7 and the Hotspot software came pre-installed. I just tether to my xoom with that, no problems. It's pretty fast on 3G.

My EVO has Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] which has the wireless tether built in. Is your xoom rooted or non? Mine is not.

yeah, it would be great if someone could figure out how to tether via bluetooth with an EVO to the Xoom; my wife has a non rooted evo, and a wifi only xoom, and wishes she could tether..
My rooted EVO does wifi tether easily to the xoom, but, it wont tether via bluetooth either; it shows "paired", but never connected..
Anyone figured this out yet?
thanks

same here. I have rooted Evo with vaelpak 3.2 on it and the wifi tether app works great but I can't get Bluetooth to tether at all. I hear that is a faster connection so I want to try it but the is no option to tether after clicking the wrench

I have the same problem running a rooted evo with MYN 2.2 RLS5. Paired but not connected is the only thing I can get. I download the newest wireless tether app and could not get it to work.
I can can tether using Wireless tether using an open connection but when I try to encrypt I cannot get it to work. I sure would like a fix before my trial runs out on the xoom.

I do not have an EVO, I have a droid OG , but ran into a similar problem. I made a video on the subject. I apologize if this does not work for you but try it out. I recommend unpairing your devices first and start where the video starts. I had to unpair to get mine working. Since your rooted it shouldn't be a problem and take a minute to try it out.

if your phone is rooted, its super easy to tether via wifi; hundreds of posts all over this board and the internet about it.
its tethering via bluetooth that doesnt seem to work on an evo..

Thanks, I find all of the tether wifi posts, and I can do that. I thought I had seen that some evo users were able to tether by bluetooth, but maybe not. Maybe when the sd card slot patch comes out it will fix it.

Xoom Wifi...Issues connecting to WiFi Tether (Evo)

Hi All...
So after much wait, I decided to jump on the Tablet band wagon.
I opted to get a WiFi only tablet as I had all intentions to Tether my Evo (Rooted).
I am now aware of the Ad-Hoc WiFi issue with the Xoom after doing some research and all i can say is W T F!?.
Is there ANYWAY to get this thing to connect to my WiFi Tether Evo ?
I've downloaded the experimental 3.0 WiFi Tether app from Google code...The Xoom now picks up AndroidTether..but will not connect. Stuck at "Obtaining IP Address"...
I'm close to returning this thing...I was going to wait for the Acer Iconia to drop in a few weeks but got impatient...I might stick to the original plan...
Any Ideas ?
Does the Xoom need to be rooted to get it to connect?
WHATS THE DEAL WITH THIS?!
Thanks.

I don't have any issues tethering my wifi only zoom to my evo. I am using the hacked sprint hotspot app that comes in Calkulin's Evio2 rom. I think you can download just the hotspot app and install it on any deodexed rom.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271

I'm running CM7 on my evo, and I use the built in wifi hotspot on that. I dont think the Evo hacks can tether 4g, but the 3g tether is great. Browsing speeds are fast and reliable, but I wouldnt use it for youtube or anything like that.

The Sprint HotSpot app doesnt tether 4G, right? Or does it?
I'm on CM7 RC4.

Turn on Bluetooth and use the bluetooth feature in Wireless Tether and not WiFi.

I literally JUST fixed my problem...
Just flashed over to a Sense rom from CM7 RC4..
The Normal WiFi Tether app (non-experimental) works just fine.
I'd love to stay on CM7....

if it werent for the quick tether i'd be on MikZ i think. It's stupid ammounts of fast and HTC has some of the best apps IMO

I had this exact problem last week. Neither the latest version of Tether, or the Experimental 3.0 worked.
I finally installed one of the fixed Vaelpak versions and it worked great. Let me know if you need the file and I can get it to you.

My rooted Evo running myn 2.2 RLS 5 works fine running unencrypted using wireless tether and 3g or 4g. A no go with bluetooth.
Encrypted tether is a no go also.

I am running Sprint Lovers ROM on my EVO and have no issues with tethering the Xoom. I have done it with both the modded Sprint Hotspot app and the WiFi Tether app.

Will the WIFI Tether work with a temporary root ?
