I successfully rooted my device (thanks kennethpenn!) this morning. I installed "Wireless Tether for Root Users" but it doesnt seem to work. Has anyone gotten it to work or have a recommendation for a different kind of wifi tethering solution? EasyTether works with a usb cable, but I'd like wifi (or possibly bluetooth).

Well this is the subforum for the HTC One XL, and I'm speaking specifically about that phone. Not sure if it would be a similar for your device...

Oh, my mistake. To your note you say, I clearly can't read.
After downloading Wi-Fi tether beta 14 apk
set device as ICS generic and enable routing fix
works perfect on my rooted, att htc one x.

What kind of device are you connecting from? The auto profile did not work for me, and the Generic ICS profile causes my Win7 laptop to blue screen!!
In the WiFi Tether app faq on their Google code page, one of the known issues is that the app doesn't always work with Intel wireless adapters.
Naturally, my laptop has an Intel wireless adapter. That doesn't explain why my other devices don't work, though.
The app starts, and my laptop (win 7), my SGS2 (cm9), and my iPod (v5.1.1) all see the ssid, but none can successfully connect to it. I've tried all the permutations of the settings which I can think might help, and have gotten nowhere with it.
Basically, I'm just stumped.
Bleh.

I know at&t is pretty strict on tethering. Is this detectable by them? Or have any of you been contacted by at&t about tethering without a tether plan? I want to root and tether too, but scared. lol

I think its a matter more of usage more than anything else. I dont know too much about it, but I think that there are different ways to enable the tethering and some hide it better than others. So long as you are not like... using absurd amounts of data on an unlimited plan or the like, I think it can be hard for them to really detect it.

No, its says wifi tether.

So I should be able to just plug the phone in and tether away? Sorry, I am new to this, and have never tethered before. I have CoNcast, but it would be nice to be able to take my laptop with me, and use it while out and about.
Does the tethering option have the built-in wpa2 encryption? As I am assuming that is a security thing - again new to all this.

If you use wifi-tethering, then you might not even need to plug in... the only reason to plug in would be to feed your phone power, rather than depleting it uber fast while tethering.
wired-tethering (the other kind) is also built in, but I can't tell you how to do it. I always use wifi (so I can "enable" multiple devices simultaneously)

Ohhh, Ok - so I don't have to plug it in - I thought I had to. So I should be able to just (for example) take it to the park on my lunch break, and be able to set the phone next to my laptop and get connected...?
Sorry for all the questions, just curious how this works - as I'd like to take advantage of it. Thx!

Wireless tether for NS4G
I just rooted my wife's and her mom's NS4G that i got them, installed wireless tether app just like i did on my evo, but the NS4G will only let me setup a ad-hoc connection, no option for wpa2 setup?
any Thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?
Reviving a thread from December lol
With the wireless tether app ad-hoc is the only method supported on the nexus s. It does not do infrastructure mode like your EVO did. If you use the native tethering app it will work in infrastructure mode it will not work with 4g though only 3g.

Download the "tethering fix for Android 2.3.5 ROMs" onto the phone and flash via clockwork recovery. This will enable the built in tethering app (accessible from settings>tethering and portable hotspot) which will allow infrastructure mode.
Hope I helped

I haven't updated yet. Are you rooted? If so, can you not get away with freezing the tethering manager apk like on gb?

As of now this is not working. Looks like ATT caught onto this. I really don't want to use a 3rd party app and I'm DEFINATELY not giving up my unl data...
can you install any of the tethering apps on ICS? (I'm still on GB haven't tried - just suggestions to those on ICS - and yes I'm waiting for a custom ROM to be released)

I use FoxFi. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
I would like to know this as well.
Before ICS I would use the popular WiFi Tether app, using a Device-Profile of "Samsung Galaxy S" and Setup-Method "Netd (master)" and it worked perfectly with no errors. Now on ICS with the same settings and build it starts up, but with an error. Almost everything in the log has a successful green "done" status, the only thing that failed is "activating wifi interface".
Any ideas?
Ok ive done nothing and now my tether hotspot is now unlocked and I can use it without any apps on ics
Forget me I figured it out

From tethering tap 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot', then Menu -> Configure(Wi-Fi hotspot)
...
Also noticed that tapping the '3 sliders' on the left toggle between 'all devices can be connected' vs. 'only allowed devices can be connected' via MAC filtering.
Regular Android WIFI Tether is working for me, set the Device Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
I would like to see native Hotspot working though, I can tell the difference between native and 3rd party apps.

Interesting... it wasn't there the first time I flashed ICS.
One of the first things I went looking for.
I'm on my "third time is a charm" flash and now I see it.
Killing it will break the UI.
Now that we have root, do you guys think it is possible to disable or bypass this TetheringGuard process that shows that the "To enable mobile hotspot... dial 611"?
I froze TeatheringGuard 1.0.22 using TiBu but now instead of getting the message, it just sits at processing when trying to enable wi-fi teather. Must be something else blocking it too
I just installed wifi tether for root users from the market and use that instead.

Sounds exactly like how it behaves on Samsung ICS leaks. You can't simply disable or remove the apk.

Yea they must of changed some things in ICS. Method worked fine for galaxy note on gingerbread
"Wifi Tether for Root" market app works fine on my ATT OneX after rooting.
All I did was change the Device-profile to "Generic ICS", since on Auto it would start tethering, but not show up as a detected network.

Yeah, that old method works fine on GB on all Samsung devices. But won't work on all the new ICS leaks. AT&T finally caught up on this hack.
Does anyone know of a way that I can use an old Droid X as a reverse WiFi hotspot? What I want to do is use the existing WiFi in my house and connect to a device that does not have a WiFi card in it. Is there a way to connect my old phone to my wireless network, then share that connection through the USB cord? Thanks

Yes, It's called "USB" tether. It is built into ICS and Jellybean. Also the app "PDA 3.5" works very well for this if you are on GB or below.
edit:
Just to further explain, you just connect your droid X to your WiFi network, then hook it up to the computer you want internet on with USB, then go to settings > Wirelss and networks > more > tethering a portable hotspot, and select the USB option.
If that does not work then use PDA 3.5 (free market app, works well, gives you full instructions)

Thanks I'll give this a try when I get home. I figured the tether would only work on a data connection. I know in the past when I've tried turning tethering on then it automatically would turn off my wifi.
As far as I knew to get PDAnet to work you had to install on the computer as well. Does PDA 3.5 work the same way? If so I won't be able to do that as I have no way of installing it on the device I am trying to connect to the internet.

Hey guys. Can some one please tell me what i should do on my Nexus to get it to connect to the PS3?
So I've scoured the forums looking for my exact problem but to no avail. I am trying to connect my wifi hotspot to my ps3 to watch netflix basically. I can get the wifi connected from phone to computer with no problem (thats what im using now). However, when i scan my PS3 for wifi signals, the only thing thats comes up are the usual wifi signals from the neioghbors. I've tried all the settings i can find on the web but nothing works, like changing device info to Optimus 2 and softap. I'm using a rooted Nexus with the Wifi tether app. under Settings, Change device, i dont see my phone make or madel. Maybe that has something to do with it. I have no idea... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
A guy who just wants to watch netflix on his stupid ps3
