I don't seem to be able to access the Web on my gt+ if I wifi tether to my galaxy s2. Does it work for anyone here?

I tether to my Verizon SGS1 by using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" on market. If you are using an actual tether plan but it isn't working then I hope someone answers you as I think I'll run into a similar issue inside of 6 months.
Wireless tether for root doesn't work with wifi or Bluetooth on the s2 with standard rom or with hyperdroid ( the rom I use and arguably the best) I think it does on cm7 though
However I missed the built in wifi AP option on my s2 and through that I CAN connect!
I'm just about to put cm9 on my s2 to see what works with that

in wireless tether for root app u need to enable the access control in setting
It looks like wireless tether is discontinued now and replaced with wifi tether 3
That seems to work on my s2 but whats the point when the phone has wifi AP built in anyway?

I think the idea behind it is to do tethering where the manufacturer or carrier has REALLY crippled tethering on the device. Pointless on any S2 - worst case you need to nuke AT&T's bigbrotherware on I777s.
Native tethering is superior to nearly all of the apps - it actually puts the device into access point mode, most other solutions use adhoc mode, which few Android devices support without hacks. Unfortunately, after talking to garyd9, it sounds like the Tab Plus has some weird Atheros customizations to wpa_supplicant, which means the adhoc-support-modified variants will probably fail on the 7 Plus.
tethering
Have you removed the tethering app from your S2? If not you need to remove that app using root file explorer from system, if you are rooted this will enable you to tether. I know it sounds too easy but it works. If it works for you please thank me.

I have never ran a stock ROM on my phone, could be why I've never had problems tethering. Been running miui on my mt4g pretty much the whole time I've had it. If you want native tethering in AP mode, flash either a cm or miui ROM

Works very well with sgs and sgss2 and my gt6210, all with root, but I dont remenber if I ma de the test before or after I root the tab
Anyway I use stock software to do it on each device, and no problème, it is like bluetooth, very easy and simple
Tethering works perfectly on any i9100 (as long as the user has a data plan)
Tethering on US iterations of the i9100 are completely carrier dependent.

Just got my Nexus S 4G, running it 100% stock and not sure if I will ever root/ROM it yet. I can tether fine using built-in Wifi hotspot. As we know, the tether kills 4G and forces 3G when active.
I only actually have 3G at my house, so I can't test any other methods, but I am wondering if any other tethering tools will allow 4G tether? For example, Barnacle wifi or PDAnet USB... tools I've used in the past on rooted phones. And if either of these methods does work for 4G tethering... is root required? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 4G available nearby and has tested these methods on rooted/unrooted phones.
Thanks!

Wifi tether for root users works, but it creates an ad-hoc network, so you can't connect with another android device. A laptop will be able to connect though

Thanks... this might be the one thing that will drive me to root this phone eventually. Other than that I am fine with a 100% stock experience so far...

You can root and leave everything else stock. Rooting on this phone is trivial.
Non-root tether apps like Pdanet and EasyTether all run as regular apps on the phone. If running a normal app like Pandora preserves 4g status, then the 4g status should remain with those as well.
As for speed, you can look at a comparison that someone ran a few days ago across the popular USB tether apps:

Using the same wireless tether app or using the hotspot functionality built into the evo?

using the same wireless tether app, but don't worry i figured out the answer. Most androids tether thru adhoc but for some reason the evo is different and uses infrastructure mode, thats why my xoom can't pick up the nexus s signal but it can from the evo.

That's not entirely correct. Most newer phones have the capability to create an infrastructure network. It was more hit or miss on older phones.
The built in hotspot app does create an infrastructure network on the Nexus S. The 3rd party wifi tethering app creates an ad-hoc network though on the Nexus S for some reason. Unfortunately the built in tethering doesn't utilize the wimax radio currently.
The hardware on the nexus s does support creating an infrastructure network though, so I don't know why the wifi tethering app is creating an ad-hoc network if it has the capability to do infrastructure.

Why can't you watch movies rooted? I'd never watch a movie on a phone anyway, but the problem does make me curious.

Maybe shoot the dev an email. The hardware supports infrastructure and the AP can clearly do it. It may be a simple error in logic preventing the Nexus s from being detected as a device capable of infrastructure.

The movies app won't work on rooted devices. This is problematic if you use your tablet and the.movies app for renting movies.

Use native tethering - all third-party tethering uses adhoc mode which doesn't play nice with a lot of devices.
You may need to freeze/uninstall TetheringManager2.apk - I forget if this was needed on Infuse. It was needed on the I777.
FoxFi is free on Android Market. I was using it for wifi tethering, until I realized it is just using the native tether feature in settings. It's a good app, though, and not just adhoc like the others.
For native tethering in uclb3, I now just go to settings / wireless and network / tethering and portable hotspot / mobile AP settings.
Delete the tethering manager apk in /system/app, or freeze it using Titanium Backup. I don't think native tethering works without doing that, and that apk is the quickest, and easiest way for at&t to pick up on tether usage (in case you aren't paying for a tethering plan).

Sorry new to this so bear with me please. I went into titanium backup and there was no tethering manager apk or anything like it. Am I doing something wrong? i have firmwar 2.3.6 baseband I997uclb3 and kernal 2.6.35.7-I997ruxkg3-cl366622
If there was no tethering manager then it was probably already deleted in whatever rom you are running.
Do this..
Settings>Wireless> Tethering and Portable Hot Spot (or something like that... on ICS... can't remember exactly for gb. Then you pretty much just start tethering. And remember, if you are not on a plan then you risk getting caught.. so don't do it too much or it will be taking away.
Good luck.

Hey all!
I rooted my rooted Samsung Galaxy SII T989 for T-Mobile yesterday, and went to install wifi tethering with barnacle today. I was about to install when I saw the button "Wifi Hotspot" in the notifications bar. I clicked it, and used my wifi tethering. So my question is, what is the point in using barnacle? I can apparently now use T-Mobile's hotspot service for free, so it seems pointless to use a third party application. So my question would be: what is the point in freezing the wifi tethering process, or installing a new one when you can just use the normal tethering app?
Additional note: I'm using the Darkside Evolution Rom
It's all the same, same with HTC portable hotspot it does the same as WiFi tether or barnacle from the market

With just root can we use the wifi tether apk on the verizon SG3? If so, are there any special things that need done to make it work?
yeap, you should be able to. you just need to enable unknown sources under settings/security

what app are you using? i used to use Wugfresh on my droidx.
I just posted in the General form about this. My recommendation is to use a 3rd party app such as Wifi Widget, that will turn on the built in wifi tethering app without checking for account status. Verizon might change this in the future but it is work much better for me than 3rd party wifi tether apps.
Has anyone seen a way to enable tethering via Bluetooth (bypassing the check for subscription)?
When I'm out and about I like to have my tablet connected to my phone over bluetooth. However, with my new S3 it asks me to subscribe to a tethering plan when I try checking the box to share my phones internet connection over bluetooth.
I'm stock, rooted and on a Verizon capped data plan (not the share everything plan)
Anyone?

Eric, can you provide a link to a Wifi Widget app that will turn on the built in tethering capability on my VZW SGS3? I tried a couple and they didn't seem to work.

bond32, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don't really like the Fattin widgets icon. Tethering Widget also seems to work and I like it's 1x1 icon better. I had forgotten that I was using it on my Samsung Fascinate running CM10 while my SGS3 was getting fixed.

Thanks a lot.
I have a moto Droid 1 that I would like to connect to my 3113, has anyone had success with wirelessly tethering this or another smartphone? (More specifically non hot-spot phones)
Wi-fi is a standard, so as long as your phone can create a non-ad-hoc (the standard mode of most tethering apps), your tab can connect.

Hey thanks, I was at work and unable to test for myself.
I tether mine using a droix and rezound. the rezound works better as it is a 4g. both phones are rooted to make it easier to tether.
