[Q] Wireless Tethering Settings - HTC Inspire 4G

Greetings.
I have searched the forums, and have not found what I was looking for so I am going to ask nicely here.
1. I have just rooted a friends Inspire. Shipped with GB
2. In searching, I can not find any (or minimal) reference to the android wifi tethering app, and I am wondering
A)if anyone uses it, and
B) if so, what settings are used to make it work.
I appreciate your time in reading this post, and thank you in advance for your relevant answers.

thats because the wifi settings will be unique to each person ie channel, encryption, passkey etc.

The tethering needs to be activated and the PC with you want to tether has to be accepted in the cel. The app gives you a password you need to use in the PC...when you try to connect the phone will prompt that device is requering permission to connect. That simple. If you cannot make to work with the hot spot app, you can use Koush's Tether app in the market.

Thanks for the replies,
I was just curious as some devices require tweaking in the settings of google's wifi tether, and didn't know if the inspire worked on the default settings....

I actually had never tethered before yesterday....and it was just for curiosity, but worked great, and didn´t tweaked anything at all. By the way, I am using Coredroid V9.2 that has a default app.

I had to enable "routing fix" in the settings of the google tethering app.

Wifi Tether and Rooted Sprint Hero

Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing - Question...

Hello everyone,
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but after searching and searching thoroughly I was unable to find a solution.
I have the T Mobile HTC HD2, the phone is better than any iPhone I ever owned. (Just had to get that out... )
I have a question concerning the HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing. I installed the app, ran it without any issues. The signal was picked up by one of my laptops. I was able to connect and surf the web over 3G, pretty quick I must say...
The issue I am having is, since connecting that one time, I have not been able to see the phone as a router since. When I run the app and choose T-Mobile data, the 3G pops up. The wireless antenna icon pops up and the app says it is ready to receive incoming connections. BUT, I am unable to see this from any of my wireless devices.
My questions are, is there any specific procedure to get this to run correct? Do I have to disable wireless on the HD2? Is there some WinMo 6.5 firewall running? I know others have experienced this, but I am unable to track down a solution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
mcv50
Are you running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing? Or running the WifiRouter app?

I am running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing
After i installed the cab, this is the only place I could find a way to launch the app.
Why is there another way?
I downloaded a random wifi sharing app and had the same problem, then found XDA-Tom_Codom CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA. Worked like a charm. I would uninstall and try that one.
SxyCupcake, thanks for the suggestion.
I uninstalled, then installed the XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab you suggested. I get the same result. I am rebooting right now to see if that may help...
After rebooting, I get the same thing. It almost seems like something is blocking the WiFi Transmit antenna signal or maybe it is not activating correctly... Might be a registry setting or something.
I may have fudged up some setting using BsB Tweaks or XT Hack Beta2... I might wind up just doing a complete restore and start from scratch.
Still doesn't work. I will check back often and post a solution if I figure it out.
Thank you,

[Q] Initiate Cell Phone's hotspot feature from a tablet.

Hey guys,
I am not sure if this has been attempted before or if it even remotely possible.
The end result however would be neat.
In essence, I want to be able to unlock my tablet, finger a widget and have it tell my phone wirelessly to turn on the hotspot feature so that I magically have internet on my tablet. Needless to say, both are Android and rooted.
My initial idea was to use tasker and create a profile using "bluetooth connection" so that on my tablet I would have a widget (Extended Controls) and could talk to my phone using that, so that if I want the hotspot to be activated on the phone I simply turn on the BT on the tablet. However, I can pair the two devices but they never actually connect up. Therefore that plan won't work, and I am wondering if any of you have any ideas...
I know I can setup BT tethering, and that it would be better for battery life, but it is also a lot slower than Wifi, and at that point would wonder what the benefit of 4G would be!
Anyway, if you have an idea, feel free to let everybody know!
I've actually developed an app to do that; it's called AutoTether and is available on the market. If you care to give it a try, feel free to PM me with any problems you encounter while using it.
Shame on me...
...for not finding this little gem!
I am glad you went ahead and did this. Sadly, it doesn't seem to work for me.
When looking for other devices, it does find my phone, but when trying to initiate the tethering form the tablet, I get the messages "Sending Command..." followed by "Cannot find target device".
I am assuming you are using bluetooth as a communication channel between the two devices, and I am wondering if it could be the kernel on my phone missing some module (LeanKernel Normal from imoseyon). I will poke more into this shortly once I get adb shell hooked up.
Let me know in the mean time if you think there is something else I am missing.
Assuming I get it working, it will have been one of the best purchased made so far
Mea Culpa
Okay, not my day.
Really sorry. I think the app works fine and the problem was with my phone.
Reboot fixed it. Before reboot wifi was reporting "error" status for some reason or other...
Anyway, good job, well done and thanks again!
Enjoy it, and if you like it please don't hesitate to review it or send me any feedback or feature requests you have. You should really check out the screen monitor mode, too: it completely automates everything by only turning the hotspot on when the screen is on! I always find myself forgetting to turn off the hotspot manually, so this has saved my phone's battery more than once.
This is a must have app!!!!!!!
I have never posted to any of the forums. I have browsed every page of of every section of the the Asus Transformer section and of the 300 apps I have installed on my TF this one just moved to my all time favorite. My TF and my Evo now work seamlessly together. I love the simple 1x1 widget it does not draw attention to its purpose and adds an illusion of 3g built in connectivity. Hats off to you.
Just a quick thing, would it be possible to re-enable wifi when the hotspot is deactivated?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Doesn't seem to be working for me. I run a Droid 2, stock rooted, and TF 3.1.
I normally tether via bluetooth, but the app doesn't seem to offer bluetooth auto-tethering.
I'll keep the app purchased, as I'm getting a new phone soon and I'd like to be able to use this app in the future.
Thanks for the feedback folks! I'm going to look into the problem with your Droid 2 (please don't hesitate to PM me any details you can, since that'll help me get it working).
About automatically reenabling wifi: that's high on my list of priorities to add. It was originally part of the program, but I encountered a lot of bugs and had to take it out. It's good to know that you'd like the feature, and you can count on seeing it in the near future.
Wow
Auto Tether works great. Thanks. I have Samsung Vibrant and Transformer. I gave it 5 stars and a nice review.
Fantastic, Installing and testing now!
EDIT: Works perfectly
Greatest thing for Tablets so far!
This must go on the Required applications list!!
I'm interested in this, but my phone is an HTC Hero CDMA running aospCMod 2.3.4 and under Wireless & Networks it only lists Tethering, not hotspot. Under Tethering it only mentions USB tethering, no Wifi. Which leads me to my question...
Is it possible for this to work with the Wireless Tether app instead? I expect it won't, but it can't hurt to ask. Thanks!
Awesome, HTC Supersonic running CM7 and TF104 running Prime 1.4, works great.
Awesome App!!!
For anyone still following this thread, I've just released a small update for AutoTether that allows wifi to automatically re-enable itself when tethering is turned off (if it was previously enabled).
Everything should be quite seamless. Thank you for you ongoing feedback!
Will this work on sense phones? I have a mytouch 4g, and this is an awesome idea, but i could imagine sense getting in the way...
I can't guarantee it will work on a phone if the manufacturer has modified the hotspot function. If you have a Sense-enabled phone and you'd like to try the app out, you can PM me your name and I'll make sure you get a refund if things don't work (outside of the normal refund window).
I think the new 15 minute refund window is horribly unfair, especially for an app as complex as this one.
Tasker will easily do this.
Couple suggestions, not sure if possible...
Ability to enable/disable wifi on the client when enabling/disabling tether on the server
Ability to choose the connection on the server (mobile data/3g vs. 4g)

Care to elaborate?
I've started getting FCs from autotether randomly, what can I give you for logs to help diagnose the issue?
Also, can screen monitor be disabled when using the widget to enable Tethering? Maybe make it a configurable item in the settings?

Wifi Tether Option?

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.

Unlimited Tethering LG V10 Tmobile H901

So i've been a user of xda for quite sometime, however i never really contributed before so i'd like to share my latest discoveries and hopefully i can help someone in the future.
(Please note this is for intermediate users i will not be going into full details. Feel free to google any keywords here for further information)
Please note this will erase your device!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you do to your device ie: damages. Proceed at your own risk
This is a tutorial on how to get unlimited tethering on an LG V10 Tmobile
First you will need to unlock bootloader and get TWRP so you can flash SuperSU and get root.
I used a combination of these two guides. DOTtech i just used to get LGUP. I do not believe the .kdz (refurbish) step is necessary.
https://dottech.org/198032/how-to-root-lg-v10-t-mobile-h901-on-android-6-0-marshmallow/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
make sure you use this .tot file from xda (most updated, July) link
once you have flashed the tot file. make sure you download supersu and save it on your phone. Link Here .You will need to boot into recovery mode. The best way i found to boot into recovery mode is to use "adb reboot recovery" command via adb command terminal. For help on setting up adb, usb debugging, and oem unlock. follow the youtube video below. Do not follow his recovery flash steps. (That is Outdated!). once you have adb set up, phone on, open a terminal, navigate to your adb folder and run the "adb reboot recovery" command. Phone will boot into TWRP. Find your SuperSU file. Flash it. You are now rooted!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPLwFGxLQA4
once you have root....
you will need wifi tether router from fabio grasso. Buy it. best money ever spent.
next you will need to edit your build prop.
download es file explorer. build prop is just a text file. enable root explorer in es file explorer. navigate to your root folder/system.
under system you will find build.prop. open with es text editor. at the end of the text file insert
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
hit back. and it will ask you to save. save it!
This will allow our wifi tether router app to work properly.
reboot your phone.
open your wifi tether router app. The most important setting here is under method. Use Native! This will tell wifi tether router to port it's connection through your native hotspot app.
You should now be ready to go.
Now, how do we prevent Tmobile from noticing our traffic is being tethered?
We need to change a few settings on our computers. You will want to change your defaultTTL to 65 (decimal) on all your PCs.
For details on that follow this youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZOqm98kzIU
for windows 10 its a little bit different. Use this command in a terminal.
netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
This should prevent Tmobile from noticing and counting your hotspot data.
If i missed anything, please feel free to message me along with any other questions.
Cheers!
Hi,
What are your setup parameters for Wi-Fi Tether?
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Encryption wpa2-psk
wifi channel 1
interface wlan0
method 4 -native tether
auto disconnect wifi when start tethering (check)
wifi scanning autodisabler (check)
i also root disabled all tmobile apps especially com.tmobile.pr.adapt
Good Luck!
When was the last time you've checked your usage? I'm using a vpn (in addition to build.prop and settings.db "hacks") as well, so not sure how they see it now. I'll change my TTL on the pc as next precaution. Vpn used to be the bullet proof method, but they're getting sneakier.

My apologies to everyone, i guess my post was a little premature. I just got the text message today saying i've used 80% of my mobile hotspot. RussianBear, i am interested in your settings.db hack. What is the purpose of that hack, and also what vpn do you use?
The TTL was a game changer for me with my S5. The problem i am running into with the LG V10 is that in the wifi tether router app, the hostapd method would not work anymore. I "enable wifi router" and i can't see my hotspot.
Russianbear, how far along have you gotten with this. Maybe we can help each other. Can you see your hotspot via wifi tether router? What are your wifi tether router settings? The only way i was able to activate it was with the Native method, however i believe the native hotspot embedded with the phone sends packets to tmobile.
I was wondering also if a custom rom can help me in this situation. It seems as though the native hotspot does not allow third party apps like "wifi tether router" to activate the hotspot. Can anyone recommend a good stable custom rom that can help me accomplish this?
Cheers!

I'm using private internet access vpn. Not currently using any play store apps, just my native usb/wi-fi tether, but it looks like they upped their game this month, as I've already ran out of hotspot data lol
The settings db "hack" was forcing zero flag inside a settings database. In MM it was moved to this location:
/data/system/users/userid/settings_[system|global|secure].xml"
On V10 it's under global.xml - search for tether_dun and make sure that's 0.
You can also try using adb or terminal emulator and execute commands found here:

Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have to find a way to get wifi tether router working on this phone. Wifi tether plus DefaultTTL will fix this. If anybody tries wifi tether and gets it to work with LG V10 please let me know. Maybe its my phone. I did use the .tot file in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
I'm thinking maybe that might have corrupted something and is not letting me activate my hotspot via wifi tether router.
Looks like adjusting ttl has worked for now.

Can you please explain where and how you did this?
I'll try this, but dont think it will work. I've used Wifi Tether Router alot before, but that was before Tmo started cracking down on heavy tether users not too long ago. Now if I try to use it, they always notice quickly. I also did the no provisioning trick but same results. I created a new APN with a guide I found, same thing. I didnt change any values on my other devices' end. I've heard it helps if you use a different DNS server but dont know for sure. It may also help if you use a different user agent.
I do believe the days of unlimited tethering with Tmo are over, I've tried lots of tricks but didnt get far.

Invest into a good vpn service.
@RussianBear: I actually use a VPN on my phone most of the time. However, by default, Android wont direct tethering to a VPN. I found a guide awhile back that shows how to use terminal commands to forcibly route through a VPN, it worked for quite awhile, but Tmo caught on eventually. I made sure the VPN and my script were already running before activating tethering. A VPN is supposed to be encrypted, so how they detected ne is beyond me. I guess they saw the sheer amount of data I was using and suspected tethering (over 500GB in one month, at the highest point).

Can you not enable vpn on the clients instead? I have my asus router set up with my vpn settings, so anything connecting to it automatically gets passed thru the vpn ip instead. Lower your ttl on desktop/laptop, do the build.prop entry, set ipv to 4 in settings, and set tether dun to 0 in settings.xml (I made a script for that). You should be to go with your vpn then.
Honestly I see almost no point in having unlimited tethering since your data is slowed down around 26gbs. I'm fine with the 7gb I have rn. If I were to make use of unlimited tethering, I'd need truly unlimited since I do very heavy usage on any of my computer's. Usually 700-900 GB a month(and that's only download. Upload is around 200gb a month). Used to have an at&t business hotspot that I paid $125/month and used 300 or so GB a month for three months with no slow downs on it.

Gotta pay to play. They "prioritize" your after 26, so it's not like it'll be slow 24/7. Annoying, sure. However, I haven't had home internet going on two years now. Worth it to me, based on my usage. With this tmo one stuff, they offer unlimited tethering, but of course, your primary usage has to be from your phone...
The victory was only half-way declared... They somehow know when device(s) that connect to my router are tethered. Router is setup with an openvpn configuration and connects to the vpn server automatically. All IPs check out, as well as ttl values, but they're still able to tell. One thing that was strange was if I did not enable vpn thru the router, but instead thru the client, the speeds remained constant - undetected. This is fine and dandy, but I'd lose my chromecast functionality this way... If things get rough and I can't finger this one out, I might hop onto to their unlimited everything for $95/month instead of the simple choice one I got now.
