I'm running Humble 4.22 and got wifi V 3.1 Beta 6 working on my Charge. To make this work, I had to change the device profile to the Samsung Fascinate and also change the setup method to Softap for Samsung (master). After these two changes, it works like a champ. I'm sure many people already knew this, but in case you didn't and want wifi tether to work on the latest GB rom, here you go.

This allows for 4G tethering or just 3G?

3 or 4G. What ever your phone is connected to. I was on 4G myself and was just as fast as my home internet.
might want to try wifi tether 3.0 pre 12.
worked much better then 3.1. wifi tether would lock up after every use on 3.1. you couldn't turn it on, off, back on and still work right. only would get fixed by rebooting. 3.0 pre 12 doesnt have this issue. you can turn on,off,on,off, etc with no reboots.
This was discussed in several previous threads but if you have issues like explained above try 3.0 pre 12.

I'm going to give 3.0pre12 a try but I've been using 3.1 for a while now. In most cases, a quick wifi toggle would let enable and disable tethering multiple times without reboot.
Edit: not that I use humble, just my experience with any rom so far.

Looking to get wifi tethering to work on your Tablet, PS3, Network Bluray, or other android phones with your Droid Charge 4G? Look no further than this thread.
Samsung Galaxy Phones: Droid Charge 4g, Captivate, Fascinate, Epic 4g
1. Download Wifi tether 3.1-beta6 http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
2. Go to options>Settings>change device-profile= choose your phone: Droid Charge works with Epic 4G
3. Go to options>Settings>change setup-method = "Softap for samsung (master)
4. Enable wifi-encryption
5. Reboot your phone (VERY IMPORTANT)
6. Start android tether and away you go
I am getting 25Mbps down and 7Mbps up on my hp touchpad!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT##
Also, each time you start and stop tethering it requires a reboot for tethering to work Again.
I have a GTab, not a Touchpad. Like a boss.
Also, can't wait to see people get v&ed for using too much data.
PS: using your Charge for xbox Live or psn is a bad idea because the ping times are awful for gaming.

4g speeds though?
Yeah 3.1 is insanely buggy, first try and it kicked me off my 4g(had to airplane toggle). Second try it froze my phone up, wouldn't turn on and required me to press home and wait about 2 minutes for the black screen to disappear so I could close the damned app.
So it's confirmed the older ones work with 4g??
Ive been using it for a couple months now and have no issues.

The 3.0 pre 14 works fine also, that's what I've been using and it works perfectly.
I wasn't sure what version I was using so I just checked and that's what it is. I tether my iPad 2 and a couple PC laptops using that and never had a problem.
I don't go crazy with the tethering like some posters do however, I really don't want to risk messing up my unlimited VZ data plan........

I was on 3.1 beta 6 which provided the 4g LTE speeds. I uninstalled 3.1 beta 6 (cleared the data) and then rebooted. I installed 3.0 pre 12, set it as the Samsung Fascinate profile and then rebooted. I was able to achieve 22Mbits down and 6 up via the speakeasy speed test and stop/start the app WITHOUT rebooting The key tip is to REBOOT the app after you configure the settings. If you do not reboot, you will be stuck at some weird slow speeds (4mbits down and 9 up).
I am running the Humble 1.51 ROM with the EP1Q modem.

Will the newest version like you activate and deactivate tether multiple times or do you need to reboot between tether sessions?
Wifi Tether pre-12 let's you do it, but none of the newer versions did.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned was support for adhoc phone to tablet tethering. I'm using the Eos rom, is there something I can do to make it work or does tthis require drivers that are currently unavailable?
Thanks in advance!

The Honeycomb Tiamat build has ad-hoc support built in. It basically involves modifying the wpa_supplicant. I didn't test it on build 6 and haven't flashed build 8 yet so I am not sure if they have modified this yet. I am sure they will eventually if they have not yet.
Regarding Zone-ICS-12.19.11-v2.1 and exchange
Howdy,
Just flashed this after wiping Dalvoc an Cache, all apps still available, as expected no cam. or 3g/4g. Question is does anybody have exchange calendar available? Syncs to gmail calendar, exchange contacts and mail sync up, but exchange calendar doesn't show in lost of available calendars. Just wondering if it' a common thing and if there is a fix yet.
Otherwise I'm going to keep running it. Calendar isn't a deal breaker for me and once a cam and mobile data works this will totally kick butt. Thanks Mike for a super build.
Post 3=7 more to fo for the dev forums..... WooHoo
Will we see the camera and mic working soon?

My phone is a bit old (motorolla cliq), but I have tried with the wifi tether included with my rom/kernel by adlxmod and also with barnacle. Both of these worked with tiamat/morray I had previously on my Xoom. I really like the ICS builds by EOS, and if my tether would work I will never return to HC!

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?
Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.
