WiFi Tether for CM7

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?

Hmmm are any other hotspots apps installed

None that are apparent to me.

What kernel are you using

Happens to me from time to time, just reboot your phone and should fix it.

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.

widgetsoid makes just about every setting option as a widget.

Will I get charged by Sprint when using the stock CM7 tether capabilities?

[I9020A] 2.3.6 blocked Tethering?

I've just applied the update for 2.3.6, When tethering either wifi or USB, the 3g icon disappears and i get no connectivity.
What's interesting is that if i use an alternative APN (VPN access point for Telus) I am able to tether without a problem.
I'm suspecting that this is a pre-emptive strike for AT&T who want to charge for tethering.... any ideas anyone?

I am on ATT and lost tethering...

I just spoke with steve.garon who is using CM7 nightlies. He updated his modem to the one included in this update and is able to tether without a problem, also the search bug appears to be dead with this modem.
So for those who are tethering, might be an idea to skip this update and just apply the modem.
As for myself, since i CAN tether through VPN, I might wait it out. It only took them 3 months to fix the search bug, what's another 3 months?

damnit...I'm completely stock and am having the same issue with tethering.

Me too.

Fix for tethering issue in 2.3.6
1) Create new access point, for example “Tethering”
2) Copy all the settings from your primary APN you use for internet access
3) Set APN type to “default,dun”
When you want to tether, select your new APN and then enable hotspot function.

I actually thought I'd modify the original Access Point by adding 'dun' to the list as mentioned by north49. So now I have "default,dun,supl,mms" and it works flawlessly with the original Access Point and tethering.
Edit: I stand corrected. I had to create a complete separate Access Point for it to work.

That's good news. At least there's now a workaround.

Worked directly in Sweden with telia.. all functions are there

Copy libsec-ril.so found in system/vendor/lib from 2.3.4 to the 2.3.6 ROM and tethering may work again...
I do not use thethering much so did not try it yet but I believe this may fix the tether issue...

Try using Pete's patch. I think its suppose to be universal

I9020A Tethering blocked here too.
Tried adding dun. No go
Tried creating new APN with Dun - No Go
Monitored using *#*#info#*#* - and noticed when activating hotspot - data goes to att_tether and ping results in Data Not Subscribed.
F*** Att
So.. does anyone have a stock 2.3.4 for Canadian Nexus S that doesn't require Clockwork recovery? I can't seem to downgrade using any of the signed versions I've found. Signature failures etc etc.
Thanks

Can somebody explain me the technical background, why this fix the bug?
What does ',dun' means?

DUN == Dial Up Networking.
It's a force setting for the phone to use this access point for tethering.

I've applied 2.3.6 and the tethering changes but I have a question... Does Nexus S tethering share the Wi-Fi connection or only the 3G connection?
When I enable 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' it turns off the wifi on my Nexus S and jumps over to 3G.
I don't remember it doing that before... although I only tested it briefly to see if it worked so I didn't pay attention to what network it was actually using. I also don't remember having to select the specific APN for tethering either from my settings (On my Rogers Phone I have 1 APN for internet use and 1 APN for tethering)
Thanks!

tethering with or without adhoc?

i would like to know if there is an app that can let me tether with infrastructure instead of adhoc? i can find one.

The current builds of 'Wifi Tether for Root Users' that everyone uses can tether in infrastructure mode if you set the profile to the Fascinate (can't remember the exact wording).

I just tried this for 5 minutes and it works LOADS better than barnacle. Too bad it was blocked off the market.

That's why you just get the version from code.google.com

I would dl and install the wifi thether 3.0 pre 12. works much better the 3.1. and like previously posted use the fascinate profile and set it up as master or auto which should use master mode.

Anyone know of a way to setup the native app to work? I know that with the Droid Bionic you use SQLite, make a few adjustments, and BOOM, it works. A buddy of mine uses that, and his connection speed is just miles faster. But we have a different file structure, and I haven't been able to find the equivalent settings.

[Q] Wireless Tethering Settings

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.

[Q] Wifi Hotspot Not Working After Root (Rogers)

Hello all
Rooted my phone a week back, and it has been mostly working fine except for the WiFi hotspot feature. It used to work before rooting, but now I cannot get it to work at all and I have tried a bunch of stuff.
It doesn't give me any errors when I start it, but there used to be an icon in the header that shows its working no longer shows up.
I have tried to use 3rd party WiFi tether, but those didn't work either. Tried resetting the apn, and making an exact copy and selecting the new one does not make it work....
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have removed some bloatware as well, would that affect it?

No it is broken on mine too.
Need the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/database.db file from a Rogers RUU or ROM.
If we had that it would work I think.

If you guys check the DEV section you'll find your answer in there. Mine is working like a charm. Cheers.

Are you talking about the One Click Tether method?
Or are you talking about getting a tether app from the market. I know I can do that but I want to use the native tethering. A lot cleaner.

OneClick Tether method.
Enables NATIVE hotspot.

I had to download SQLite and add a APN manually to the telephony.db. AT&T method didn't work for.
