Wifi Tethering - HTC One S

I have my HTC One S rooted and am not able to use wifi tether. I keep getting redirected to Tmos page. When I had my sensation, this would not occur, not sure why. I dont feel I should have to pay for internet that I already paid for I have tried Open Garden, Barnacle and even Wifi tether for Root users. I am able to see the network from my mac but when I got to surf the internet, it just hangs. Anyone have any suggestions. Thank you

I got that from a different thread. I've been using it to tether my iPod and tablet without any issues.

Thanks. What tether app? The one included or a downloaded one?
Sent from my One S.

The included one. Although I used a toggle for more convenience.

Nice. I got it to work using the stock one. Thank you very much.

I also had little snitch on my mac blocking for some reason. I had to disable it

There's a few, try pdanet. Google "june fabrics".
I use Barnacle, it works great
Why don't you use the stock htc app with the fixed APN (wap.cingular....) ?

If you are already rooted you can use a wifi tether app like Wireless Tether, you don't have to mess with PDA net (PDAnet is great if you are not rooted). I tried Barnacle but had trouble getting my Mac to join the adhoc network it creates. Rather than mess with it too much I put on Wireless Tether and it worked Great.

I can second Barnacle WiFi and also use the stock Mobile Hotspot.
If you are rooted you do not need any program for tether.

Use the referenced APN and you will have tethering available......
I second the wireless tether especially if you have your unlimited data still. Its stupid to pay for it twice

If rooted it also works to remove all entitlement apns from the APN database in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Do you think there will ever be a wifi app that does not require rooting. I had to downgrade back to pda.net. It works but I already miss the wifi app I used for years on WM 6.5.
I believe most custom roms allow tethering without adding it to your plan.
I asked about coredroid in another thread, and I got conflicting reports though.
If you are already rooted, just flash a custom ROM. then you don't need an app and you will also have a hotspot. My favorite is Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 but if you want to keep Sense UI, try Android Revolution HD or CoreDroid or some other Sense based ROM. And Congrats on your escape from under Steve Jobs's thumb =D

The APN method someone mentioned allows wifi tethering without root.
yes by changing the APN you can enable wifi tethering without root , ive done it many times on un-rooted phones ,just dont use it to much or it will be noticed and good ole at&t will add the package (not sure about other carriers)

Tethering?

I can't seem to get barnacle or wifitether to work on this phone. Has anyone else been successful in tethering with the infuse?

I've never had an issue. On the iPhone (not jailbroken) you have to call AT&T to activate. On this one, you get an information tag above the activate checkbox saying:
A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please go to att.com/myWireless or dial 611 if you do not already have this service provisioned.

I've been using that on my Captivate for 7 or 8 months now, AT&T has never billed me. I'm not extravagant in my usage. The highest net data I've used is 4.5GB, but that's for both normal and tethered use. I've never been dinged.
I think if it becomes obvious, torrent or otherwise, then they may try to do something. But as far as I know, there is no way to distinguish the traffic of your phone from that of the connected devices.
My suggestion is try it for a small burst of data, note the time. Reboot your phone after. Then check your account online after a day or two and see whats listed under your data use.
You guys should try a custom apn similar to the captivate and atrix.

Ok... I tried this again after I posted the message. Something seems to have changed in my account. Now I get a "Verifying" message and then a note that says tethering is not available. My guess is that we'll have to replace the IP/Stack to not request verification information from AT&T.
So, sorry, no go yet.

I notice you said ATT, but your profile shows the Canadian flag. So are you in Canada or US with ATT.
I know some Canadian carriers have some tether included in the 3G for free at no extra charge.

guys MOBILE AP in settings! that's native wifi teather ap stands for access point. there is an apk you need to delete or freaze to do it without the tethering plan. ill get details from captivate section and report back.
I can now confirm that Android-Wifi-Tether works.
I used Tether for Root Users 2.0.8-pre1 Wireless
I agree with Dani897, this will ultimately be a matter of replacing the AT&T Modded Wifi AP with the google stock version.

in titaniumbackp if you are rooted freeze ir uninstall "tetheringmanager0326.apk" should unlock it. you can also delete it from adb, rootexplorer, other root file managers as long as you mount read write in terminal emulator, or you can use terminal emulator.
i have a linux machine and use sshdroid to ssh into the phone. that's another way to do it if you get a windows application that handles ssh.

Which wireless tethering app do you use?

Hey guys,
Now that Verizon's Mobile Hotspot promotion is done, what are you using to tether with your rooted Droid Charge? I am trying to use Barnacle but it keeps giving me errors.
Thanks!
Simple, Pay for the native app.

I currently don't tether, I was planning on using this; https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
but whenever I search for it on my Charge I can't seem to find it on the market place, and clicking the direct link just gives me an error. Hope someone has found a good wireless tether, going away for the weekend and could really use one!

+1for OpenGarden. I have been using it on my Thunderbolt for a weeks now and haven't seen any issues.
I loaded Barnacle and rooted my phone last night, so far so good. But I am going to also try Open Garden to see it it meets my need (see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158476 )
so just to clarify guys, if use this tethering program, it can help me save a few bucks comparedd to paing for verizon's optional tethering service? ;-)
I've tried both the tethering programs in this thread and neither are detected on my PSP/NDS, the app also doesn't ask or tell me the SSID or passphrase, anyone know a REAL wireless tethering app where you can make it act pretty much like a router..?

I have never found one, PSP/NDS probably have the same issue with connecting to Ad Hoc networks. I had to root tablet and edit a file to make it work with A500.
Open Garden seems to have a better pass through for speed, used Wireless Tether for quite some time with no issues.
I pay enough to Vz since I never go over 5G a month even with tethering I don't feel bad at all.

rooting a friends phone:
Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.
You've conflated a couple questions here.
"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"
Most, if not all, do.​
"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"
Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.​

Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.
For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.

that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it.

It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.
I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.
I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.
(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)
T-Mobile is on a roll!
Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.
They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.
So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.

Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.

Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.

I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.
Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.

Not to be too much of a ****, but HLMGTFY (wifi tethering fcc) - first link: <from CNET, but I can't embed links yet>. But anyway, while the rulling dosen't say anything about Sprint, it does show how the wind blows. Although I wasn't trying to be too serious with that statement, that's the genesis of it.
So no one still uses TrevE's WIFI tether, or are there just too few that have root so far?

Well, I know it might not be common, but I did. The stuff in the Play Store mostly seems like a wrapper for the installed tether app.
Here's what I've done so far that is pertenant- obtained my device. installed and removed several free Play Store apps dealing with tethering via wifi, backed up then rooted my phone, changed settings to accept unauth sources for installs, then went to my standby and installed TrevE's wifi tether from apk. Similar to initial issues with the G4 and G3 it craps out, reported error says log generated, but no log available (maybe just a perms issue?). Googled around a bunch and searched around xda-devs with no direct help found. Decided to post on my favorite Android development forum for the first time since the G3 came out.
I haven't tried looking at the TrevE source yet, mainly due to lazyness and my inate hatred of duplicating others' good work. That is the plan for the weak - along with looking at the wifi-LTE aggregation issue - but I mainly wanted to know if others had gotten that far with wifi tethering before I started donating my time hacking together something that might have already been hacked.

Sooner or later I'm SURE a flashable will be made (as well as come native in custom ROMS). Just be patient brotha!
I remember hearing about the fcc. As i recall, it applied to plans with data caps. If you have unlimited data, then it wouldn't apply.

FCC and alike are out there to make money for the 1%. Forget them!
As for the Tether, It doens't work with newer phones yet. I haven't seen any updates for a long time. If you can find another program that works it'll be cool. Else, just wait for a Rom with a native tether to be available.

Actually I did get Fabio's WiFi Tether Router working (thx went to musclehead84 for the first suggestion) on mine - somewhat. I still have an issue with it not completely unloading, and have to reboot the phone after I'm done with it, but haven't tried to tweak it yet either. Well worth the $2.5 IMO.
After re-finding TrevE's thread I came to the same conclusion as others - not in active development anymore. Too bad, I'm a real fan of lightweight apps that do what they claim and are free!

I still have an issue with it not completely unloading, and have to reboot the phone after I'm done with it, but haven't tried to tweak it yet either. Well worth the $2.5 IMO.
After re-finding TrevE's thread I came to the same conclusion as others - not in active development anymore. Too bad, I'm a real fan of lightweight apps that do what they claim and are free!

How did you get it to work? What are your settings. I have a Sprint s5 and tried everything to make it work but nothing.

Mine worked in "auto" mode, but I later switched to "Method 3" following the suggestions here - https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/home/device-configuration
Also folks seem to be having good luck talking with Fabio the developer. INstructions to contact are on that page also.
Yea i used the same settings. I disconnected from my wifi and then turned on wifi. Then when i enable wifi it turns it off and i have to manually change again to wifi. Cant get it to work
