Using a rom's built in tethering is so annoying. Especially for crack flashers. The method below is much much better for those that change roms frequently.
Ze program:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Ze instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516275&highlight=android-wifi-tether
Downside:
Can't use the rom's built 4G toggle (if it even has one) in the notification bar.
Upside:
Your backup program (e.g. Titanium Backup) will back up the settings so that you don't have to re-set up tethering each time you change roms.
Has a nice widget.
Works with 3G and 4G.
That's what I use but once I fire it up on 4G, the 4G goes away and my data disconnects. This happens on ICS Roms. Had no problem on GB

Nexus S 4g, stock 4.0.4, Bluetooth 4G tether
Oddly, my stock 4.0.4 Nexus S 4G is working with the bluetooth tether on 4G with my iPad 3. I'm using the built-in "Tethering & portable hotspot" app and I don't have the hotspot plan. Does anyone else have this working? I'll have to see if charges appear on my next bill....

I notice my 4g is worse than 3g speeds after using or just installing and not using wireless or USB teathering. Also rooted phone with 1 click method and now clockwork doesn't even show, just regular recovery shows. Have Sprint, stock rom, since clockwork doesn't show, don't know if I'm still rooted . Any ideas?

If there isn't a hack or tweak for signal issues soon, prolly use the D720 rom posted in this section for restoring to stock. Not looking for awesome speeds, only what my phone should be doing in the first place.

I am assuming the photon only does ad-hoc. I have tried changing wifi tether to epic, evo, galaxy tab with no luck. I cant get the touchpad to discover my photon to try the bluetooth method. Any ideas?

I thought using wifihotspot works and the tp picks up the signal and connects

Im using the wifi tether app, not the built in hotspot
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
TP does not support Adhoc tething and some android phones can only do adhoc tethering and not true wifi/hotspot. I know some Android phones are using the beta version of wireless tethering but my phone won't run it, keep getting errors. So someone like me can't use their phone with their TP unless someone can develop a patch that would allow TP to accept Adhoc connections.
I am looking for the solution to this same problem. I have a photon and have used the wifi-tether app and my touchpad will not detect it. I know its because of the ad-hoc mode but is there a patch I can dl on the touchpad that can support ad-hoc mode?
we might have to wait until the port is done. Hopefully they will write it in.
tethering apk
I tether with my evo3d using beta v3 and I also tether with my wifes EVO shift and its using a tethering app from the market. No issues works with 3g and 4g

Can't tether with my iPhone 3G and Vodafone 845. I know the phones can't do infrastructure mode, so it's obviously a limitiation of the touchpad/webOs lacking support for ad-hoc wifi.
We need something that at least enables ad-hoc mode on the touchpad, even better a new BT stack with DUN/PAN included.

what(Preware) Kernel are you using?
I can tether to my X10a using 2.3.3 as a hotspot. I don't have the micro to micro usb to try the usb tether.
What I really like is the unmentioned 5Ghz Wifi. I can get 40 mbps via speedtest.net (I have 50 mbps at home).

I believe the evo's have infrastructure capabilities, where the photon does not.

You need to use the built in tethering. I know Motorola has infrastructure mode. Not sure if the photon has the entitlement hack.
Trolling from my ATRIX 4G on probably the crappiest main US carrier
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason
Have you tried open garden ? On the market

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections
Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

I do that and it connects, but I get no internet. The bars never change colors showing there is an active internet connection...

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).

Tether 4g everyday without any issues to windows, Ubuntu and ipad. Using wifi tether app. On oics 43 with Eugene's latest kernel.

All the ones I've tried wifi tether doesn't work at all and I get an error about log file not found. Some ROMs repeatedly would ask for super user access when turning tether on and off even after I granted permission. One time it acted like it was working but no SSID broadcasted. Finally native tethering turns on but I lose data connectivity. For reference I have no problems on ICS getting it to work but could not get this to work on GB.
Crespos tether fix did not work for me on GB either fwiw.

Can anyone recommend a rom, app, or method that will allow tether over 4g on 4.2?
I've tried native tether on rasbean and HP's rom. I've also tried WiFi tether app and have been unsuccessful in my efforts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think the issue is that people aren't having the same issue as you are. Native tethering doesn't work for me, but the "WiFi Tether" app does.
Thanks for responding. What you say is very peculiar. I've now tried two 4.2 ROMs and 4g tether didn't work on either (with or without WiFi tether app). Perhaps I'm using wrong an incompatible kernel or rom.
1. What rom/kernel combo are you running?

It may also be your provider - the upgrade to 4.1.2 "enforces carrier settings" on tethering. It actually makes me ponder rolling back to ICS so I can use native tethering, to be honest.

I've managed to get Wifi Tether to work on the Provision Rom for 4.1.2. No luck with 4.2.1, though.
