Anyone know where I can get a working WiFi Tether apk for CM7? The one I have from CM6 isn't working.
The stock tethering app works fine for me
Why wouldn't you use the built in hotspot? It works great.
You just need to use the built in hotspot, under wireless settings. You have the same features, can change the ssid, and password encrypt it. I'm using it right now.

use the built-in tether app. To make it really easy add it to a PowerControl widget (add widget to screen, select "Portable WiFi Hotspot" from the list of options).
If you don't want to use it, the other best one (in my experience) is called something like "Wireless Tether for Root Users"
Just use the built-in option under wireless settings...
Or check THIS page
Lol poor rickballer

I don't know if this has been mentioned but the stock hotspot iis pretty nasty. I suggest that
When I try and enable the built in Portable Hotspot it immediately deselects and says "Error." Any ideas?

This. Thanks for the help guys and putting up with a lame thread.
Not lame for asking a question. You could have posted this in the development section.
Sweet, looks like restarting helped, my 4G speeds still sucks though in this area, i restarted and threw 4G and tethering on and tested my speed on my ipod touch and got .32Mbps/.21Mpbs and my battery was draining 1% per minute, lol.
Running CM7-n#14
I love the built in tether, but is there a way to make a widget for it? I'm just lazy and don't like having to jump through menus haha.
Its built into the power control widget.

Will I get charged by Sprint when using the stock CM7 tether capabilities?
Able to wifi tether to apple devices, but no luck with laptops or android devices. " does support ad hoc network" What wifi tether programs are others using? Thanks
wifi tether works. i used it this past weekend for 2 days.
if youre already rooted, you can just use native tethering. just delete tethermanager from /system/app no need for barnacle of wifi tether for root.

What does this mean? I downloaded wifi tether and then uninstalled it, but would like to be able to tether my tablet when we are on vacation. I am rooted.
android has the ability to tether out of the box.
carriers disable that and charge like $20 extra if you wanna be able to tether.
if you use titanium backup and freeze tethermanager.apk (or whatever it is called) you get the ability to wifi tether again without messing with any other third party apps.
look for it in /system/app and once you freeze it delete it or whatever you want to do with it, go to settings > wireless and network > mobile ap. if tether manager is gone you are able to use this native mode already on your phone to tether all you like. i would steer clear of apps like pdanet and tether for root, as usage of these apps appears to be sent back to att by tethermanager.
Is the built in tethering part of AT&Ts "bloatware"? I may have deleted it using Titanium Backup.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks in advance.
Thx it worked for me . I installed busy box as root user , then installed titaniumbackup . i went to backup restore tab. Froze tether manager then uninstalled tether manager and it works flawlessly now . Thx forums
Samsung infuse 4G
Yes!
It's these kinds threads that make me want to buy you guys a beer! As a new android user, I know very little, but when I ignore the haters/trolls/ignorant people, and smart asses, I find gems like this. To think I almost paid for it because of the salesman insisting that tethering through AT&T was the ONLY way. Thanks a bunch to all you guys who give back.
Thanks! Worked like charm. AT&T go kick rocks!
Mobile AP warning message
I am running Infused 1.5 on my phone. So from what I am reading in several tethering threads, I am able to use the native app for tethering. When I use MobileAP, the original warning message is still there "A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required...."
Sorry if this is a noob question, but is this message not supposed to be there anymore? or did I do something wrong?
yes you should not be getting that message. check to see if tethermanager is still in /system/app.

I was just about to post a similar question Im also on infused 1.5 and just tried the tethering, the message your talking about is the one at the top of the screen that doesn't go away that says "Tethering/Mobile hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please ect...." the one I was getting before I installed. The infused 1.5 I would click on the mobile AP box to turn on the tethering and a message saying I didn't have the service would pop up and turn off the tethering but that doesn't happen anymore I also just checked my plan features and tethering does not show up. I remember reading one of the features of the infused 1.5 was tethering but I didn't know how it worked until I read this thread. Thank you guys
But if I'm running Infused, why woukd that file still exist?
So you think I would be ok ignoring the message?

Yes, also called wifi tethering or mobile access point. You can enable this in wireless settings if you pay extra for a tethering plan or remove tether manager.

Okay wait, so just freezing tethermanager wont work. I'd have to uninstall it to tether? I'm running stock rooted btw
i still dont know what freezing means, but it doesnt sound very guaranteed. tethermanager is malicious at best so i just completely delete it, theres no advantage to keeping it around.
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.
Heyyyy...Guysss
Anyone is having the solution for Wi-Fi Tethering in OrDroid 9.0 ???
Please suggest me something...I'm heavy user of Mobile HotSpot....
Wifi Tethering is broken in Ordroid, Just change ROM if you really need it.
Or wait for shnizlon to fix it
No need to change roms! Please use wifi tether from the playstore it works perfectly! Yes it works with ordroid! Its all in the settings. It goes as follows, always power off device remove battery place back in power on each routing session that said here are the settings, make sure routing fix is checked,disable wake lock. Check set up wext ad hoc, device profile, generic ics, DNs, 8.8.8.8, lan,192.168.2024, transit power disabled, you are good to go.if it starts with a error, just do the power off battery pull. You will have tethering again. Its a free app in the playstore called wifi tether. Hope I helped! Happy tethering

You should try another Rom . Ordroid will not be getting any updates. It is finished. However its developer moved to team venom on viper Rom.so perhaps give viper a try . Hope this helps.

Ordroid isn't supported anymore. Flash ViperS ROM instead.

So the unlocking of the boot loader was simple with Motorola's instructions on their website. Now all I need to figure out how to do is fix the USB tethering so it simply works...
Anyone know how to do this yet? I know there are programs that you can install/use but I don't want to use those.
Not sure if it has the option to do that out of box or not but if it does and its not working, I remember someone saying it is picky with what USB cable you use.
Or by programs you mean not installing programs on the PC? and not by apps?
I know it doesn't out of the box. Just trying to find a fix for it.

It is hard to say as it varies per phone, try going to google play and searching for usb tether and try a few. If none work, in WORST case you can make a Proxy on your phone and then route your internet through the proxy on your browser. Though any reason why Wifi/Bluetooth is not an option?
Tried some of the apps on the market, none are working. PdaNet won't even install. Usb is preferred, wifi or bluetooth would be fine for now. How do you setup the proxy? Ive never done that on a phone yet.

If wifi/bluetooth is an option try FoxFi. If that doesn't work,ill instruct you how to do the proxy thing.
Tried FoxFi and it says its not supported by my carrier (sprint) so it doesnt let me install. Same thing with pdanet

you mean doesn't let you install from sprint market? or doesn't work when you open it? you can download the apk directly on the developers site or download it on Amazon appstore.
App market doesn't allow the download. I'm going to try to find the apk for pdanet, i do have the license for the full version of that. All that i have been able to download just haven't worked. Ill let ya know what i can figure out.

Okay... i got PDA Net working. Had to download the apk elsewhere other than the market where its not allowed. That allows usb, bt, and wifi. I guess this will work for now until some devs get some fixes out for the new photon Can't be driving around the country without internet for my laptop...

This is why I just use Amazon Appstore, no silly carrier locking. And it keeps the locked apps updated.
> I'm going to try to find the apk for pdanet,

Any results yet? I'll buy this phone or not depending on whether PdaNet can work.
BTW how is its reception in low signal areas,
and does its GPS work reasonably well?
I'm looking to replace a 2yo Samsung Epic 4g whose
GPS dies within 10min, it often loses Sprint carrier
but can tether

I just went from my Epic 4G... The Photon Q has a lot better signal strength than the Epic. PdaNet is working great. I downloaded it from here: http://www.apkfullapps.com/2012/03/pdanet-pro-v350-apk-app.html I selected rapid gator, it comes as p350.zip and contains the apk for the phone, and both 32 & 64 bit versions of the computer app needed.
You will need to buy a license for it to be able to visit https sites. Here is their site:
http://junefabrics.com
The GPS seems to be working great. I've had no issues with it yet so far. Always seems to be accurate, and fast at getting the original location. I'm hoping that soon enough I won't have to use PdaNet to tether anymore now that motorola released the kernal source. That makes it a lot easier for our devs to get new roms and fixes out for it
after rooting with shabby's cwm, I tried Wi-Fi tether, but I couldn't connect to the hotspot. I opened an issue with the Google project
Sent from my CM9 Epic 4g Touch using Forum Runner
My USB tethering works right out of the box. I just hooked it up to my PC, let the included Motorola software install the relevant drivers and turned on the option in the settings. Bam, had my desktop online. It takes it a few moments to connect and sometimes you have to play with the setting or unplug it/plug it back in etc. before it works. I sometimes get a message that my plan may not support tethering, but that always goes away if I just poke at the setting a couple more times. Patience seems to be the key. Sometimes it takes a little while for the network to be identified by Win7-64, which is what I am using.
I'll try WiFi hotspot later and see if my bridge can connect to it ...
Infrastructure Wifi Tether
I have found that with my Photon Q, after I unlocked it and rooted, I downloaded the newest "Wifi Tether For Root Users" off the Play Store and out of the box it worked.....as ad-hoc....I have found that if you go into the settings of Wifi Tether and hit "Change Device-Profile" and choose "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" then choose "Change Setup-Method" and hit "Netd (master)" then setup the Wifi Tether to your liking it will work without a problem on infrastructure.

Thanks for the link! Got it up and working and was able to verify that I can connect to work and run apps from Citrix while talking on the phone, SVDO for the win! Now I'm ready for the next time I lose cable at home and I need to work.
Installed the Wifi Tether and installed using zrmxp95's directions. I can connect to the network with my ipad, however the phone only only recieves about 4kb of data and then the webpage never loads. I can hit refresh on the ipad, and it will load another 4kb and do the same thing.
