XT720 wifi tethering?

Ok, so I rooted my XT720 and I tried both Barnacle and AndroidWifiTether, both don't work on my XT720.
Has anyone had any luck getting the XT720 to act as a wifi tetherer?

PDANet works.

Doesn't PDANet require your computer to install something too?

I haven't had to.

Wireless tether for android always worked for me. You probably do something wrong. Root required.
Moto XT720, Samsung Omnia HD, Nokia N82

I rooted XT720 with universalandroot and installed Wireless Tether (check marketplace). It works.

it's work fine to me....i'm using version 2.0.2...

Wireless tether works great on my evo, but I can't get it to work on this phone. It's rooted, and I granted it super user privileges.......but then it asks if I am rooted. WTF? Other root apps work though....am I missing something?

does tethering drains battery?

Yes, you're using the WiFi & 3G radios at the same time.

If you want to use the built-in from the 2.2 ROMs, goto your APN settings and clear the area under "APN type". Worked immediately after I did this.

Does Dexter's and wanted's FroYo ROMs offer native tethering?

It just started working. I didn't do anything else to it. It still gives the "are you rooted" message but it tethers now /shrug/.
Anyone else getting this message?

Do you know how to connect on another phone that have data with bluthooth.
I mean connect to another phone with your milestone xt720 to have a data connection.

Tether
EasyTheter works flawlessly. Additionally the tether app included is khalpowers ROM works great for those people who have that ROM.

hey hahutzy
I got an error with Barnacle and AndroidWifiTether saying that it wasn't successful and I needed to root my phone. I had already rooted it so I just tried connecting anyway - it worked just fine!
Have you tried ignoring that and connecting anyway?

[Q] Can't Tether or connect via bluetooth with HTC EVO

Hi,
I have the wifi-only XOOM (nonrooted) and a rooted HTC EVO. I can pair and connect each device with another blue-tooth device, so I know that both have blue-tooth working.
I can't get the Xoom and EVO to connect via blue-tooth. It says "paired but not connected" and when I try to click on it to connect it, nothing will happen (on other items it will search...then connect). The only options available to me are rename device and unpair.
I've rebooted, nothing works. I've tried the instructions for tethering, and just trying to get the blue-tooth connection to work.
1. Has anyone successfully paired the wifi only xoom with the evo?
2. Any ideas or suggestions for me?
Thanks. This is really frustrating because the tethering is the reason I bought the wifi only xoom.
Edit: I thought I typed this, but it is not showing. Somewhere on XDA are the instructions for wireless tethering, (sorry don't have link handy) and I have followed them. Doesn't work.

I rooted my EVO with CM7 and the Hotspot software came pre-installed. I just tether to my xoom with that, no problems. It's pretty fast on 3G.

My EVO has Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] which has the wireless tether built in. Is your xoom rooted or non? Mine is not.

yeah, it would be great if someone could figure out how to tether via bluetooth with an EVO to the Xoom; my wife has a non rooted evo, and a wifi only xoom, and wishes she could tether..
My rooted EVO does wifi tether easily to the xoom, but, it wont tether via bluetooth either; it shows "paired", but never connected..
Anyone figured this out yet?
thanks

same here. I have rooted Evo with vaelpak 3.2 on it and the wifi tether app works great but I can't get Bluetooth to tether at all. I hear that is a faster connection so I want to try it but the is no option to tether after clicking the wrench

I have the same problem running a rooted evo with MYN 2.2 RLS5. Paired but not connected is the only thing I can get. I download the newest wireless tether app and could not get it to work.
I can can tether using Wireless tether using an open connection but when I try to encrypt I cannot get it to work. I sure would like a fix before my trial runs out on the xoom.

I do not have an EVO, I have a droid OG , but ran into a similar problem. I made a video on the subject. I apologize if this does not work for you but try it out. I recommend unpairing your devices first and start where the video starts. I had to unpair to get mine working. Since your rooted it shouldn't be a problem and take a minute to try it out.

if your phone is rooted, its super easy to tether via wifi; hundreds of posts all over this board and the internet about it.
its tethering via bluetooth that doesnt seem to work on an evo..

Thank you but I never receive the part that says tethering under the wrench, it only says unpair and rename device.

Thanks, I find all of the tether wifi posts, and I can do that. I thought I had seen that some evo users were able to tether by bluetooth, but maybe not. Maybe when the sd card slot patch comes out it will fix it.

i'll go ahead and type this before you get flamed...but the wifi tether fix should work for you or a newer one...i know it's out there because this use to be a problem for several others as well.

Could you point me to where i could find this fix please?

Can anyone help me out with this issue?

Try out a different version of wifi tether http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Also keep in mind you get free official hotspot with Verizon and the TBolt until May 15.

Unplug usb wire and then plug it a second time, it should work.

oh...I just tried it for several times, but still......

Try another cable. If that doesn't work then the problem is the USB port on your PC

Have to plug in twice...
I had the same problem but i have to plug in my usb twice...is there a fix to this ?

I have the same problem sometimes also. I just disconnect and connect it again and it works. It does that on both my computer and the charger.

Fixed in last version.

FJFALCON: Thank you for that and also the incredible work you're doing.
Because of people like you, my once awful phone suddenly became amazing. I love showing off the new features on it to my friends.
Keep up the good work and many thanks.

Well, that kind'a your private problem =)

Maybe you are right!
But its fine with 24th April image and stock 2.1 UK rom!
- In 26th image, WiFi MAC ID keeps changing continuously
So was wondering if its really a h/w issue or the image has something wrong
thanks for supporting.

I will rebuild wlan driver so wait.

Great!
Thanks, fjfalcon.
06.05.2012 build fixes all issues, including storage access and WiFi MAC.

Great Work
Hello:
Thanks all the developers for your wonderful work. Installed the latest cm7 20120506 on XT720 and it feels completely different and much better phone now.
Everything seems to be working fine except I am not able to get wifi tethering working on this phone. I do not know if it is my phone only or is general problem.
I did some extensive reading for tethering and it was mentioned that it should run in infrastructure mode. or putting "dun" in apn etc. I even tried wifi tether app also. On this phone, I did not see two options "MSS clamping" and "Routing Fix" which seems to be critical.
As a last resort I tried bluetooth tethering and this seems to be working. I did the following
1: Install PdaNet 3.5 and FoxFi on XT720 for bluetooth tethering.
2. iPad: Pairing and connecting with XT720 immediately started working.
3. Galaxy s2: Installed Pdanet Tablet and connected to XT70:
I would appreciate your comments on getting wifi tethering to work with CM7 7.0 version
Once agains thanks to the developers.

Reboot on incoming call...
Has anyone else observed this ! Almost every alternate incoming call, it reboots.
Using 06-05-2012 image. Any help ?

Modakjay great idea for the wifi share, thanks.

Internet connecting supposedly 'down'

Hi, I seem to have this problem with my phone, where it says that I don't have any Internet connection. I know that it does have connection (my laptop is connected to the same wifi / it doesn't work on mobile data either) , it just seems to think that it doesn't, until I restart the phone / wait a while.
Has anyone else had this problem? / is there a way to resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

This is really annoying me now (it happens every other hour). Surely someone must know something?

I have heard of others experiencing this before. It is a bug being addressed in 4.4.3. My phone does not have this problem, I'd suggest trying a factory reset and see if that helps.

If you use 2 fingers to swipe down, are the network and wifi bars orange?
That's the problem that I'm having when connecting and disconnecting with WIFI. A short switch to airplane mode and turning that off again mostly helps it.

The wifi bar / reception are always white, and switching to aeroplane mode doesn't make a difference.
I don't really want to try factory restoring it either, just in case it doesn't work, then I've got restore all my data again
