This rom is absolutely amazing. I have good call quality, MMS is crisp and amazing battery life (with LK). I was wondering if anyone has gotten WIRELESS tethering to work. I have been trying to mess with the settings of Wi-Fi tether, but have been unsuccessful for a while.
any input would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
Which wireless tether app are you using?

I have tried both WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether.
I'm running liquid smooth and loving it!!!! I was able to get my tether to work by going to settings, more under wireless & networks, Tethering and portable hotspot, setup wifi hotspot turn to open security, save, then checked off portable wifi hotspot.

the wireless on my laptop blew up. I know tethering uses the phone's network connection, but is there anyways I can set it up so it uses my house WIFI connection? I'm sure my wifi connection at home is faster than the phone's 3g connection.
Thanks
I think the newest Cyanogen (4.2.5) has added the functionality you want. Just go to Settings -> Wireless -> and turn on Internet Tethering

Yeah, I just did that earlier today. But does that share the phone carrier's network, or my wifi connection at home?
Thanks for the quick response.

Originally it was just to share the carrier's network via the USB connection (<-- this I use everyday), but I remember reading in the changelog that it is now enabled for wifi as well.
I just confirmed it using speedtest.net. You are right.
Thanks!!
That's awesome functionailty. It turns your phone into a wifi adapter with optional 3g.
New to rooting and flashing roms but seem to be doing ok.. Cant get wireless tether to work on cm7 any suggestions?
CM7 has wireless tether built in.
It's in Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot
No need for an app
thanks i found that.. it wasnt working until now thought maybe i needed an app fixed permissions and rebooted and seems to work now.. thanks again.. Whats the best business focused ROM for the EVO 4g in your opinion?
thank you so much..that really helps me
I have an Android Honeycomb Tablet (Asus Transformer), which blocks ad-hoc WiFi connections. So, the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app won't help me for a WiFi connection. Barnacle also seems to do ad-hoc WiFi connections, so no help there.
But, I used to be able to do Bluetooth tethering to the tablet using the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app just fine from my MotoDroid. For some reason, I can't with my SamChg. After pairing the tablet with my SamChg and starting a Bluetooth wireless tether on the SamChg, the Tethering profile doesn't appear on the tablet (it did for the MotoDroid)
Is there a way to do Bluetooth Tethering with the SamChg?
Thanks,

Wireless Tether for root users isn't really ad-hoc. It sets your phone up as a wireless hub and supports multiple connections. So, I am not sure why the wifi is not working for you. I use it with my Xoom through wifi all the time and it is also running honeycomb.

Hi, Kornsaq - I just tried using WT4RU to connect to my laptop, and my SamChg showed up as a computer-computer ad-hoc network.
Are you doing anything special to get an infrastructure connection?
¿GotJazz?
Hi guys,
installed wifi tether from google code.
it worked, however, noticed a couple things.
1. After turning off wifi tether, I'm still able to detect the adhoc wireless network. (Concerned about battery drain)
2. When having the wifi tether running, it isn't an access point, but an ad hoc network.
Anyone else having these issues? Known issues?
same here
I'm having the same issue basically. My laptop sees the "Androidtether" but it wont connect. It did the same thing with usb tethering too.
Installed Pdanet and it works off and on. I'm in a 4g city...frustrating that I can't get those sweet speeds over to my computer! haha
I am having same issue..anyone have any ideas? I wish it came up as a reg wireless connection instead of the ad hoc network....the stock wifi hotspot comes up correctly

Technically, the SamChg stock WiFi Hotspot is coming up incorrectly as an Infrastructure connection, and the android-wifi-tether app is coming up correctly as an "Ad-Hoc" connection.
It's just not "convenient" for us that the Google android-wifi-tether app only comes up in ad-hoc mode.
From Wikipedia: A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks.
Personally, I can't think of anything more "decentralized" than a mobile phone.
As far as I know, the latest version found here (3.0-pre14) works, and it has infrastructure mode. Just use the Samsung Fascinate option when setting (Device-Profile) it up and it should work.
wow thanks..that worked beautifully...appreciate it
I have unlimited data, and I also pay the extra 30.00 for the hotspot feature. For some reason when I try to tether via USB (so my phone can also be charging, and since it's generally more reliable) I seem to get the connection dropped within 60-90 seconds after I'm using it.
If I use the mobile hotspot app and just tether via wifi, the conniption works flawlessly. I was wondering if I'm missing a setting somewhere, or if the built in USB tethering is just plain crapola. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Never heard of such a thing... Perhaps the location where you leave your phone while its plugged in has poor reception.
Try leaving the phone in that spot without tethering and stream a long YouTube video or something like that...

Can't help, but have you tried the clockworkmod USB tethering app?
I just ended up installing FoxFi and it works just fine for USB tethering. No clue why the built in feature (for USB tethering) would crap out. Connecting wirelessly worked great with the stock hotspot app, but USB just didn't. I'm in a very strong signal area so it had nothing to do with that.
