Has anyone gotten wireless tether to work? I know the built-in hotspot is free for another month or so, but I'm looking beyond that.

no luck with either
I haven't tried it yet, but wouldn't the Barnacle Wifi Tether app work now that we can rollback and re-root?
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether works perfectly if you're rooted.
Mine works fine
Yeah it definitely doesn't work for me. It also shows up as an ad-hoc connection in my available networks. From what I remember with my Evo, it showed up as a normal wifi network? What does it show as for you guys?

Wifitether only sets up ad-hoc unless the kernel was modified such in some builds i found of EVO and Droid Incredible. If you want infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc you need to use the built in wifithether

Oh man, if you could get the built in one to work forever and have a few extra options, like channel, authentication, etc, that would be awesome. I realize the other wifi tether kinda works, but the stock one seems to be really stable.
How does the wifi hotspot check to see if it is still free?
Because I tried running Droid Wall and nothing showed up in the log.
Anyone having luck tethering to through the Wii? it works fine on my computer but the Wii says it cannot locate a signal...???

I don't have a Wii, but my 360 pairs up just fine to the wifi signal from my charge.

You cant use WifiTether app on your Wii. Many devices such as Ps3, zune, wii and even all android devices are unable to see ad hoc connections which are the kind of networks that app creates. If you were to use the built in Mobile hotspot app you wouldnt have any problems locating the signal.
It worked fine with my thunderbolt?

I just rooted my phone using ODIN to downgrade to ED1. Once that was all said and done and I rebooted, the phone, I put it in airplane mode, and connected to my wireless network via WiFi. Then I went into the market, and searched for Wireless Tether for Root. I downloaded that, along with SuperUser Permissions. Once you have both of those downloaded, Wireless Tether worked just fine for me.
NOTE: At first, I forgot to download SuperUser, and when I tried to use Wireless Tether, it would fail and pop-up with a message asking if my phone was rooted. Then I remembered I needed SuperUser. Problem fixed!
Yeah same as what everyone else is saying - the built in mobile hotspot works great and used inf mode but they will start charging for it on the 15th? - After rooting and installing SU the wifi tether for root works however it uses ad-hoc.
Is there a way to go into the EPST settings and edit the DUN NAI string like I could on my previous Verizon phone?
Edit: Found this while googling. Wouldn't this same method work on the Charge? It's basically the same phone in some ways. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818789
Edit Again: Or maybe not... I haven't picked up my phone yet, but I guess the Charge isn't using a Qualcomm chip.
I found the wireless tether application to be unstable. I tried Barnacle and it seems to work well for me. It is also an ad hoc connection and it too requires root.
I can't even get the stock tethering app to work, it closes as soon as I open it
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
So here's the deal. I have a rooted GS3 running stock rom, with Wifi Tether- TrevE Mod. I am using it to tether to my Nexus 7 installed as a head unit in my car. I want to use tasker to start the wifi tether automatically. I followed the instructions here (http://tasker.wikidot.com/wifi-tether) using the directions on the second half of the page. I confirmed the files are located where they are supposed to be, but it never starts the hotspot. I have checked to make sure the hotspot isn't on with no notification, my computer and tablet both fail to find the hotspot, so it is truly never starting,
I also know tasker has a "wifi tether on" setting that will enable the default tether program. I'd be perfectly willing to use that, but so far I've been unable to find the "entitlement_check" location using sqlite. I know there was a framework hack for ICS, will that still work on Jellybean?
Any advice people?
Edit:
For further information I decided to test the Wifi tether setting in Tasker just to see if I could use it, and it turned on the verizon hotspot successfully, but i started losing my data connection on the phone almost immediately. It let me go to one website, then the 4g disappeared, and would blink on and off again about once every 30 seconds. Not sure what that means.
Any update on this, trying to do the same thing and cant seem to figure it out

I had the same results as the OP with everything he listed.
Also I'm using my Verizon GS3 tethering to a Nexus 7 head unit. I settled on Bluetooth tethering using Tasker on my phone to enable BT tethering when it connects to the Nexus 7. Then on the Nexus 7 I have the Bluetooth Auto Tether app or whatever it's called to allow the internet connection to be shared with it.
For a long time my biggest struggle with BT tethering was that Pandora won't work with it. I even contacted Pandora support regarding this issue. Then a Google search revealed that you can use Pandora V1.3 with BT tethering! So for the last month or so I haven't really used Wifi tether, and there's enough bandwidth to even play Netflix in HD on the N7.
Hi,
Is there an app that will auto start tether when it detects a bluetooth connection? I have used a few in the past with previous phones and they would work with KK, but now on Note 5 lollipop they dont seem to work anymore. I've tried trigger, but sometimes it would not work. I've tried "In-Dash Tether" "AutoTether for Automatica" I've tried Tasker, I've tried all that i can find, nothing seems to work.
I'm at a point that I want to make a script that would run when trigger using in conjunction with trigger or tasker.
I need this because I want to use in my car so whenever i enter my car it would auto turn on.
Any sggestions will be appreciated.
Did you find any solution? I'm having the exact same problem
I cannot get tasker or anything really to enable mobile hotspot in an automatic sense. I have used tasker in the past to enable it after connecting to bluetooth in my car to provide internet to my tablet and now it does not work anymore. Has anyone found a way to do this? I can do it manually but that sucks.
On my old SM-G900a(GS5) I was able to use tasker to turn on wifi tethering when it connected to my HU via BT. Now with my SM-G955u, tasker cant do it due to a permissions issue. Now i can download a app/widget to control tethering, but i'm nut sure how to have tasker work with that app properly. Perhaps ther is a better method entirely to get around all of this. Any suggestions?
thanks.
