Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been using the ClearDroid ROM v1.2.2 Stable with the Mod and its great. The only problem I have is the usb tethering will not work without using something like "Easy Tether lite". When I connect my Inspire 4G to my laptop and select the usb tethering option i get an error that i need to "contact AT&T to enable tethering on this device". My provider is Telstra (Australia) and prior to rooting the phone this worked ok. Is this how it should work since it has been rooted and flashed the Cleardroid rom?
I have also noticed that my Inspire has AT&T Hot Spots still running, but using ClearDroid AT&T bloatware should have been removed. Has something not worked or is this normal?

Without the AT&T hotspot app present on the device, I am not sure that users would gain access to the free AT&T wifi across the country, so I left that in there purposely. The purpose is to only add to the device's functionality, while not taking anything away that might be useful.
As for the tethering issue, you are using the stock tethering app. When AT&T updated the device to gingerbread, they locked it down hard. I am still working on how to unlock the stock app for that.
There is a second tethering app in the app drawer that has been there for many builds now, and it is guaranteed to work as it should. Use that one instead of the stock one and you will be just fine. Many users even report that they like it better to begin with. I hope this helps until I can get a real fix on the hotspot.

Sorry to revive an old thread. I was hoping there was an update on getting the stock tethering hotspot app working in Gingerbread. I've recently starting using an unlocked Inspire 4G on Ting (GSM/T-Mobile network), which allows tethering, but the stock app complains I need to call AT&T to enable tethering.
I was hoping there was a setting in the setting.db I could change, like I see described for other devices, and worked for my Nexus 5.

OK i did this with the samsung captivate. I used titanium backup and uninstalled the TehterManager that AT&T puts on the phone to let them know if you paid for the service or not. It gave free wifi to my cousins phone.
Now I just bought the HTC Inspire 4G today and I rooted it and tried to delete the same TetherManager. I thought it was on all android devices but its not. So is there another way to disable the AT&T tether notice. I have downloaded the tethering app from the android wifi tether site, but i don't like it. I would have the built in wifi tether to work instead.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
Install a custom rom to use android built in tether app.
is there a rom that uses HTC sense.
I found a way. Follow the steps on this site. At the end restart your HTC Inspire 4G and your good to go.

Good day,
I'm having problems with my Nexus S i9020T wifi tether feature. I can enable it but connected device doesn't have internet connection. I've tried using wifi tether apps from the market but the issue with them is that the hotspot they produce cannot be detected by other devices
I'm using another carrier and not T-mobile. It isn't my carrier since I've tried my sim on a desire hd and it was able to tether fine.
I'm currently on SuperAosp ROM and trinity kernel. I've also tried it on stock 2.3.4 but problem persisted.
My nexus s is currently rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Is it a hardware or software problem? Any idea on how to fix this?
Thank you.
Dear all,
I just got the Nexus S 4G phone from Sprint, and already updated it to 2.3.5 due to the weak signal issue. I noticed that USB tethering is not working since the beginning (2.3.4). I went through Setting, Wireless & network setting, Tethering and portable hotspot, and USB tethering, then enble it. The computer showed that it was connected with the phone, just no internet connection. Could anyone help? Thanks a lot
The 2.3.5 update blocked free tethering.

Bigtoysrock,
Thank you very much for your help. I still have two questions.
1) is it the 2.3.5 problem only, or USB tethering is never working with Andriod? I am new to Android, and I didn't get the USB tethering working with 2.3.4 either.
2) I know if I root it, I will get the mobile hot spot working with 3G only. Will the root also give me the USB tethering?
Thanks a lot,
As far as I know 2.3.4 worked and not sure on the second question as I don't use the native app for tethering. I do know however that pdanet works for usb tethering. When you root it comes with the one click root package to give you the correct drivers. I would try it for you but I am not on the stock rom.

If you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery Peter Alfonso created a flashable zip the fixes native tethering in 2.3.5
I tested it with the wireless native app not the wired but should work for both

Thank you, Bigtoysrock and Jackslim. I will root it with Peter's method. I will report whether it works with USB tethering. People reported that they have wireless tethering working. However, nobody talks about USB tething,
I remember there's a way to usb tether your phone without the need of rooting using proxydroid
I did this when my EVO was replaced with a new one that was unrootable at the time
You can find proxydroid in the market for a free app and use their wiki for details on getting your computer setup

Jackslim, thank you. That post has a straight-forward tutorial.
usb tethering
guys im using
NEXUS S (i9023)
cyanogenmod 10
any tips how to use usb tethering in best way....
Hey guys,
This morning Google released the 2.3.6 update for my I9020T Nexus S over Mobilicity's network and I was wondering if this 2.3.6 update was affected by not being able to tether. This is currently my major concern as I tether a lot.
Does anyone know if that 2.3.6 tethering bug that was reported on the I9020A when they first got it also affects the I9020T phones too or Google has pulled the update on I9020A and I9020T and re-released it?
Right now my phone wants me to update to 2.3.6 but I want to make sure that I still have tethering if i do so.
Thanks,
deltatux
Its not a bug. Carriers want to charge for that feature. I'm sure someone will make a tethering fix just like bugless Pete did for the 2.3.5 update. That one might even work already.

I have the I9029T on t-mobile and I updated to 2.3.6 today. My wifi tethering wasn't working right away and I almost freaked out because I use this feature all the time. Thankfully it was easily fixed...
I have the security enabled for the wifi tethering and for some reason after the update the password in my phone changed by itself. I just changed it back to what it was and it worked again. If for some reason you cant remember your password and your computer is automatically set to connect to the tethering.. Right click on Android AP in the comp, click properties and change the network security key (password) from there as well... Now all is good in the world of tethering.

My carrier doesn't do that, they allow tethering without extra charge.

Really eh? I guess for Mobilicity it's even better, I just updated to 2.3.6 after scouring upon heaps of irrelevant results on Google and found some relevant from Android Central and Android Police where people reported that it works. So I tried it, flashed it to 2.3.6 and instantly, tethering works with no workarounds required. I noticed that AWS signal with my carrier improved a bit.
Thanks guys,

I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
