Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

I just tried this app on my computer, and I can confirm that the pre release works on the HTC Hero stock rom with no problems. I did this test on Windows 7 x64
I searched everywhere so my Galaxy 7+ WIFI so I can tether it to my phones mobile internet like many other phones mine can't tether in infrastructure mode.
All of my searches pretty much are all for the previous model the Galaxy Tab in which the fix involves replacing the "wpa_supplicant" file. I have even tried this on my G 7+ but it was a waste of time. My WIFI was in "error" state and did not function until I restored the original "wpa_supplicant" file.
If someone knows a fix please post it be highly appreciated
no adhoc here either
I too have a 7+ Wifi GT-6210 and have tried an assortment of wpa_supplicant replacements that do not work. The replacements all seem to be a version 0.6.10(or older). The original on my units reports version 0.8.x.
There are several threads with versions that fail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106130
There is some good info at http://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/ that may be helpful but applying the patch and compiling my own is beyond my talents.
And here is a post with a diff file for the patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6. The entire thread for this one is interesting but still not a solution for the 7+.

This may not be the ideal solution for you but you could try PdaNet Tablet(beta) from the marketplace. It will allow non-rooted tablets to tether to your phone via bluetooth.
You'll need the app running on both devices (phone as server, tab as client).
Be sure to follow the instructions in the app to get it running and will involve setting up a proxy on the client side (local host 127.0.0.1).
After you've connected and finished tethering be sure to clear the proxy settings on your tablet and save or you may have problems getting a connection with wifi.
I have successfully tethered my Moto Atrix to the 7+ but as the app description says, its in beta and functionality is limited to browsing, Gmail, and Google Maps. Other apps that depend on the internet do not work, including (I believe) the marketplace.
Again, it's not an ideal solution, but for some simple browsing it appears to be the only option we have until ICS.
I've been trying to research this in my "spare" time... It seems that wpa_supplicant might have to be compiled with support for the wlan chip being used, and there's no default support for the atheros 600x. I see samples floating around the 'net of wpa_supplicant including ar6000 support, but they are all older versions.
wpa_supplicant is provided under GPL2, so I've made a request to samsung for the source code they use to compile the utility. (wish me luck)
Once I have source I can compile, modifying it to support ad-hoc shouldn't be too difficult...
Take care

It is a good temporary solution for now even with those limits. What do you mean about ICS update? Does ICS have native support for adhoc or something. I have much higer hopes Gary will have a fix than samusng. So far it seems none of the g tabs natively support ad-hoc and I have a feeling it is not going to change anytime soon.

I read recently that ICS will incorporate support for WiFi Direct (which our tablets already have). The theory, if I'm understanding things correctly, is our tablets could internet share with an ICS phone via WiFi Direct.
I'm guessing that the wpa_supplicant file isn't specific to the device but to the OS. I did some searching around and found this XDA discussion where they got it working on a Xoom with Honeycomb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
AND this discussion where someone used the same file to get it working on an Acer A500 with Honeycomb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1069569.html
Sooo... my 7+ is on its way but I don't have it to test it. Can someone grab the wpa_supplicant file from the Xoom discussion and try it out?
<crossing fingers!>
I'll save you the trouble: The wpa_supplicant on the 7+ is linked with atheros specific driver extensions. Unless the xoom uses the same AR6003 chip, it won't work.
Oh, the xoom doesn't use the AR6003 chip... it appears to be using a broadcom chip.

I was able to get tethering working using Android Wifi Tether on my HTC Droid Incredible. I had to open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was able to get my GTab7+ to recognize the phone this way.
WIFI tether works on Evo4G (deck's 1.3 stable, tiamat 3.3.7 kernel) with wpa-tsk on P6210 (rooted stock).
Galaxy S 2.2
I got it to tether the 7+ just fine using "Wifi Tether" but no dice when trying anything else. Works fine except my commute takes me through several deadzones.
S.O.S. I have a Galaxy 7 plus rooted, I try the ad-hoc wifi switcher (ZT-180 adhoc) And yes it was stupid! now the wifi won't come on is there hope? Would replacing the wpa_supplicant fix it? And what can I do besides return it again to Best Buy. And losing all my data again
Thanks for any help

Not sure what your problem is as I'm not familar with ad-hoc wifi switcher or what it does. I am assuming it borked your GTAB7+ somehow. You could do a factory restore (settings>privacy>factory data reset). This will restore your GTab7+ to the way it was when you first got it. All data will be gone as well as root. Both of which are easy to replace as long as you've backed up your apps and data. I use Titanium Backup and GMail saves all my contact info and syncs it with my devices. I also allow Google to backup my device so all my apps just automatically redownload when I do a restore so I really don't need to do much.

Thanks, I like to give more info. before I try that. This is my 2nd time down this road. last time the wifi stopped working I panic used the hold down power & up volume and used the wipe data/factory rest. All my data was gone, no big deal but lost the root explorer. wifi still won't come back on. Took it to the geek squid @ best buy. they just gave me a new one. Is there anything I should try before the factory data reset? And if I do try the factory data reset & the wifi still won't come on is there hope?

I think the "ad-hoc wifi switcher" might have replaced the wpa_supplicant file of the GT7P which caused the wifi fails satrt. The hard reset won't change it back. You may use the Rpoot Explorer to put back the original wpa_supplicant of the GT7P and make sure the permissions look like:
XXX
X X

Is there anything more to try?
I have read through all the different methods of tethering, and it appears that I am still unable to utilize my tethering. I can connect, but once connected, I can't access the internet or ping Google, or even ping the gateway for that matter!! I am rooted on the latest update for this phone.
I have:
1. Used SQLLite Editor and modified the key to stop the tether check (this actually allowed my PC to connect).
2. Tried the built in tether.
3. Tried Wifi Tether (Play version).
3. Tried FoxFi.
4. Used ISWAT Tether Unlocker.
5. Used SQLLite Editor to change the key to subscription_mode = 1 (and changed it back after failure)
I've noticed on multiple threads that people have been successful just trying one of these methods, but I have been unsuccessful on all of them. Am I missing a step? I'd think the community would be all over this like white on rice, but so far, I've seen little complaints?
I'd rather not unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, as I'm actually satisfied with stock and my own tweaks.
If you are rooted WifiTether works.
You need to fgo into settings and change the "Device Profile" to "Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)"
I'm using the version from Google Downloads or whatever it is.

I am such a toolbox. After messing with this thing so much, I had switched to NETD-NDC for the connection. After I fixed that (changed that to auto), I was able to get it to go through.
Stock tether still doesn't work (same issue), but I couldn't care less. Speed tests show that throughput is the same on the PC as on the phone, so I'd call that a win.
Geeze... You'd think after working on this thing for hours, I would have caught that.
I have a quick question perhaps under same topic:
I recently dl'd SQLlite and performed the entitlement hack to get my WiFi tether to work. This method worked great however afterwards, I am unable to access either GPlay or my RSS reader (Feedly).
I am running Orbot and Transparent Proxying. Before the entitlement hack, I could access all of my apps with Orbot enabled.
Now I have to disconnect from the Tor Network to connect to GPlay.

Seems like there is a new version of WiFiTether available on both googledownloads and play store, however, the Device Profile" to "Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)" setting no longer works, Mobile Hotspot works with the SQlite hack. Is the device profile supposed to be something different now?
I'm a long-time user of Wi-tether Treve mod on Android 4.x with no problems. I just switched to a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5 and have tried MANY tethering methods, all with varying degree of stability (it seems like every 15 minutes or so connection must be reset by re-running app). As a result, I was thinking of reverting to Android 4.x, but I logged into MySprint website and looked at my account under "Analyze my plan". I'd post photos of the graphs, but can't post image links as I'm a new member. Data usage shows it had been tracking/counting my hotspot usage on the S3 (as high as 12GB in June!) Now I'm not so sure what to do with my current phone. Is there any foolproof tethering solution that's under the radar on S5?

No. The native hotspot hack works at best for about 10-15 minutes before needing restarting and DOES not work on 3G. And likely is tracked as it uses the native hotspot.
In fact, this is mentioned on the link you posted... "I have had mixed reports about the tether packet counter being disabled, some people reported the hotspot goes down after 10-30 mins when you disable the packet counter."

Dude I have been using it for the entire time I have owned my S5 on Sprint. My Hotspot never drops, I can play hours of COD BO3 with my PS3 tethered to the phone, I use it as my main source of internet when out. I have never had any issues with this. If you use my modded version that I posted there, the packet counter gets removed when you reboot. Also, updating your profile, or doing anything like that will reset everything.
I just checked my data usage, and for the past 3 months it shows 0 gigs used of 3G/4G while on hotspot. There are some months that show hotspot data, I may have missed something on it, like resetting the packet counter.
Or, they may have implemented another method of detecting the usage. I know the "ItsOn" has some tether things in it.
The native hotspot definitely works in terms of getting you on the internet. And I never have been disconnected.
About your account showing hotspot usage, that could be a huge array of things that may or may not be possible to remove.
So i've been a user of xda for quite sometime, however i never really contributed before so i'd like to share my latest discoveries and hopefully i can help someone in the future.

This is a tutorial on how to get unlimited tethering on an LG V10 Tmobile
First you will need to unlock bootloader and get TWRP so you can flash SuperSU and get root.
I used a combination of these two guides. DOTtech i just used to get LGUP. I do not believe the .kdz (refurbish) step is necessary.
https://dottech.org/198032/how-to-root-lg-v10-t-mobile-h901-on-android-6-0-marshmallow/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
make sure you use this .tot file from xda (most updated, July) link
once you have flashed the tot file. make sure you download supersu and save it on your phone. Link Here .You will need to boot into recovery mode. The best way i found to boot into recovery mode is to use "adb reboot recovery" command via adb command terminal. For help on setting up adb, usb debugging, and oem unlock. follow the youtube video below. Do not follow his recovery flash steps. (That is Outdated!). once you have adb set up, phone on, open a terminal, navigate to your adb folder and run the "adb reboot recovery" command. Phone will boot into TWRP. Find your SuperSU file. Flash it. You are now rooted!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPLwFGxLQA4
once you have root....
you will need wifi tether router from fabio grasso. Buy it. best money ever spent.
next you will need to edit your build prop.
download es file explorer. build prop is just a text file. enable root explorer in es file explorer. navigate to your root folder/system.
under system you will find build.prop. open with es text editor. at the end of the text file insert
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
hit back. and it will ask you to save. save it!
This will allow our wifi tether router app to work properly.
reboot your phone.
open your wifi tether router app. The most important setting here is under method. Use Native! This will tell wifi tether router to port it's connection through your native hotspot app.
You should now be ready to go.
Now, how do we prevent Tmobile from noticing our traffic is being tethered?
We need to change a few settings on our computers. You will want to change your defaultTTL to 65 (decimal) on all your PCs.
For details on that follow this youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZOqm98kzIU
for windows 10 its a little bit different. Use this command in a terminal.
netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
This should prevent Tmobile from noticing and counting your hotspot data.
If i missed anything, please feel free to message me along with any other questions.
Cheers!

When was the last time you've checked your usage? I'm using a vpn (in addition to build.prop and settings.db "hacks") as well, so not sure how they see it now. I'll change my TTL on the pc as next precaution. Vpn used to be the bullet proof method, but they're getting sneakier.

My apologies to everyone, i guess my post was a little premature. I just got the text message today saying i've used 80% of my mobile hotspot. RussianBear, i am interested in your settings.db hack. What is the purpose of that hack, and also what vpn do you use?
The TTL was a game changer for me with my S5. The problem i am running into with the LG V10 is that in the wifi tether router app, the hostapd method would not work anymore. I "enable wifi router" and i can't see my hotspot.
Russianbear, how far along have you gotten with this. Maybe we can help each other. Can you see your hotspot via wifi tether router? What are your wifi tether router settings? The only way i was able to activate it was with the Native method, however i believe the native hotspot embedded with the phone sends packets to tmobile.
I was wondering also if a custom rom can help me in this situation. It seems as though the native hotspot does not allow third party apps like "wifi tether router" to activate the hotspot. Can anyone recommend a good stable custom rom that can help me accomplish this?
Cheers!

I'm using private internet access vpn. Not currently using any play store apps, just my native usb/wi-fi tether, but it looks like they upped their game this month, as I've already ran out of hotspot data lol
The settings db "hack" was forcing zero flag inside a settings database. In MM it was moved to this location:
/data/system/users/userid/settings_[system|global|secure].xml"
On V10 it's under global.xml - search for tether_dun and make sure that's 0.
You can also try using adb or terminal emulator and execute commands found here:

I'll try this, but dont think it will work. I've used Wifi Tether Router alot before, but that was before Tmo started cracking down on heavy tether users not too long ago. Now if I try to use it, they always notice quickly. I also did the no provisioning trick but same results. I created a new APN with a guide I found, same thing. I didnt change any values on my other devices' end. I've heard it helps if you use a different DNS server but dont know for sure. It may also help if you use a different user agent.
I do believe the days of unlimited tethering with Tmo are over, I've tried lots of tricks but didnt get far.

Invest into a good vpn service.
@RussianBear: I actually use a VPN on my phone most of the time. However, by default, Android wont direct tethering to a VPN. I found a guide awhile back that shows how to use terminal commands to forcibly route through a VPN, it worked for quite awhile, but Tmo caught on eventually. I made sure the VPN and my script were already running before activating tethering. A VPN is supposed to be encrypted, so how they detected ne is beyond me. I guess they saw the sheer amount of data I was using and suspected tethering (over 500GB in one month, at the highest point).

Can you not enable vpn on the clients instead? I have my asus router set up with my vpn settings, so anything connecting to it automatically gets passed thru the vpn ip instead. Lower your ttl on desktop/laptop, do the build.prop entry, set ipv to 4 in settings, and set tether dun to 0 in settings.xml (I made a script for that). You should be to go with your vpn then.
Honestly I see almost no point in having unlimited tethering since your data is slowed down around 26gbs. I'm fine with the 7gb I have rn. If I were to make use of unlimited tethering, I'd need truly unlimited since I do very heavy usage on any of my computer's. Usually 700-900 GB a month(and that's only download. Upload is around 200gb a month). Used to have an at&t business hotspot that I paid $125/month and used 300 or so GB a month for three months with no slow downs on it.

Gotta pay to play. They "prioritize" your after 26, so it's not like it'll be slow 24/7. Annoying, sure. However, I haven't had home internet going on two years now. Worth it to me, based on my usage. With this tmo one stuff, they offer unlimited tethering, but of course, your primary usage has to be from your phone...
The victory was only half-way declared... They somehow know when device(s) that connect to my router are tethered. Router is setup with an openvpn configuration and connects to the vpn server automatically. All IPs check out, as well as ttl values, but they're still able to tell. One thing that was strange was if I did not enable vpn thru the router, but instead thru the client, the speeds remained constant - undetected. This is fine and dandy, but I'd lose my chromecast functionality this way... If things get rough and I can't finger this one out, I might hop onto to their unlimited everything for $95/month instead of the simple choice one I got now.

If you have good home internet with VPN supported router, you can run VPN through your home

They can tell tho the t mobile app the one the shows your data you have to delete it and delete this the one that has the red # by it, that how they track you and can see everything on your phone and know it you have root or not and anything you do on your phone .
