This is driving me nuts... I've changed up ROM's, updated/changed the radio and I still cannot get any devices to even see the WiFi, let alone connect...
Anyone else have this issue?
Are you using the integrated Cyanogen, or a Market app?
The integrated wireless tether, V 2.02
Radio = 2.41.04.02.02
ROM = xtrSENSE 4.6.5

The integrated won't work, there is no Cyanogen Mod specific to the Eris. Download a Market app, Wireless Tether and Barnacle work well.
Oh, woops, I thought you were using a Froyo ROM, probably wouldn't hurt to a Market app anyway.

Tried barnacle, same results.
This is nuts, it doesn't seem to be broadcasting. I have two (2) Eris' and neither will work.
The lady and I both have Inc's and they work fine.
Hmph. First, are you able to use the Eris' WIFI to connect to wireless networks? Maybe look for an older release of Wireless Tether for Root (I know there are some available, like 1.8.x maybe) and see if that does it?
I have used that version of Wireless Tether with Froyo ROMs. Maybe even though that app doesn't use Froyo's built-in wireless tether, that version requires Froyo? I remember when xtr.Zach included v1.4 of the WIRED Tether for Root app and it didn't work and had to be downgraded to 1.2. I've since used 1.4 on Froyo ROMs with no problem, although I now use CM6.x's implementation of Froyo-native USB tethering, which has worked best of any tethering I've ever used. I wish they would get the Froyo-native wireless tethering working on the Eris.
FYI, I also recently speculated that JIT on may have affected my tethering in the past. My current ROM came with JIT off and that's when I noticed much better luck with tethering.
I'm assuming you've already tried rebooting?

I got wifi tether to work by installing JAC's kernel and then getting the latest build of wifi tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I hope that helps some what.
I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre7 on a completely stock Vibrant with root and it works perfectly. I have yet to find a working version of USB or wired tether. Just use the link that was provided by the poster above or Google "Wireless tether for root users". If you find a working USB tether, please post: -)

Wireless tether 2.0.5 will run just fine on your Vibrant with the stock kernel a stock Vibrant long as its rooted. Just fyi.
All of those mentioned methods use ad-hoc and not infrastructure mode as requested by the op. I don't know of any tethering apps that will setup an infrastructure hotspot now, but I believe that the built in tethering in froyo is infrastructure, but not sure. (I'm sure tmobile will have that stripped out anyway, but maybe if cm6 ever gets to this device it will be possible)
FYI, I'm using Wireless Tether For Root Users without any modifications except rooting, using version 2.0.5-pre7 and it's working great. Way faster than barnacle.

PdaNet and EasyTether both work over USB. Unfortunately, both apps filter https unless you get the paid version. PdaNet does have a fully functional 2 week trial, though.
Sorry, I have nothing for the OP...
I thought so. I guess we will have to wait for either the dev that's over android wifi tether to implement it, cm 6.0, or for froyo.
And oh yes, froyos hotspot is infrastructure, and that is the main thing I miss about my nexus.

Get linux on your pc lol. Usb works fine on linux with no extra software. (Ubuntu) just turn on debug mode on your phone and plug in.

What about samsung Kies? that works as a usb modem for me. The link is floating around the vibrant forum somewhere.
I have yet to get witless tethering working using any if the software update all the way up to pre 8. Barnacle, on the other hand works just fine for me, and has a humorous icon too!

Infrastructure Mode
Lookup [MOD] MobileAP in Vibrant Android Development to enable infrastructure.
I second checking out the MobileAp mod. I can't post the url due to being new. This is working perfect for me. Much much faster then every other tethering I tried. The applications I was trying to access before that I could not get to work are working flawless now with the exception of my VPN Client.

+1 getting 4mps+ down in la area OP HERE
Hello to all my android geek family.. I have been trying out different Usb tethering programs including easy tether, and pdanet. They work great for about 5 to 10 minutes and then the internet on my pc stops, while the internet on my phone still works. It does it with both programs. Is Usb tethering just that buggy right now on the bolt? Or is it just me? When I look at the internet connection on my desktop, it still says its connected to an internet source. Please help. Thanks.

First it would help to list which rom/kernel/radio you are using. it seems to me that all GB roms are ****ed when it comes to tethering. wireless goes off after the screen is off. and i experienced either no connect or constant disconnects with wired tether. on top of that, gb roms/radio had this annoying habit of making my 4g connection disappear for a second then to reappear, but with out the ability to download anything. happened all the time. then i switched back to froyo rom and poof, like magic tethering works perfectly. no 4g disappearing, no loss of tether when screen is off. i havnet tried the wired tether app since on froyo because i prefer wireless, but i'll give it a try and let you know.

Ok thanks. In case you haven't noticed I am on bamf 3.0 with the stock kernal that comes with it. So if I want to use wireless tethering just make sure the screen doesn't timeout? That's the only problem you experienced? Also were you using the basic wireless tether app that comes preinstalled? Thanks for your help. ;D

i couldn't get he wired tether app to work. you can use the wireless tether app to tether. right now i'm on the latest synergy 3.0 rom with the kernel that it came with on mr2.5 radio. i hve the 2.0.5 version (much older version) of wireless tether and everything has been running smoothly for the past 16 hours. tried the latest. 3.0.1 beta of wireless tether that came out yesterday, but it didn't want to connect me to the pc. now with the combination of tether app (2.0.5) and the rom, i can tether while the screen is off. i couldn't do this before with the 2.0.7 wireless tether app and older nightly of the synergy rom (6-27 or so). i guess the problems got fixed. I alaso havent experienced any 4g icons/connection disappearing for second and reappearing, but without the ability to tether. i'll give a couple days to figure stuff out. try it out on the bamf roms see if you have problems. and try many of the version of wireless tether app.

Strange PDAnet seemed to be working for me yesterday all day (USB Tethering). I was playing Counter-Strike Source with it and I was surprisingly getting a decent ping.. Not as good as I would imagine but still decent. Around 90 Ms. The wireless hotspot that comes with the phone seems to be a hit or miss for me. It wants to work sometimes, and sometimes it just doesn't want to work. It will connect to the wireless network no problem, says Internet Access, but really in reality, there is no internet..lol.. To get PDAnet working, if that's what you were trying to use, Try installing the legacy drivers. Just go to the PDAnet folder in the start menu and install Lecacy network drivers.. That fixed everything for me.
Off topic just a little bit, but have you noticed a large speed decrease through wireless? I only get about 7.5mbps max, compared to 20+ on the phone itself using speakeasy's speed test. strange....anyways, Ill keep messing with the tether, both wireless and usb, and let you know what I come up with..
Where do you get the other versions of Wireless tether?
this is where if find all the wireless tether apps.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
i never tried to use the pdanet. you have to pay and i'm too cheap for that.
speed decrease in wireless? no. the speedtest app doesn't work right for lte apparently. what i do i go to the browser (both the phone and the tethered comptuer) and go to their website. speedtest.net and perform the test there. typically 15-25 mbps download both using the computer and cell phone. the app is pretty unreliable in my opinion.
hmm playing counterstrike. never thought about it. i used to love day of defeat, maybe i'll give it a try since you say the lag isn't all that bad.
One other thing that you should look out for is HTC Sync running in the background while using a non-root tethering app like PdaNet or EasyTether. They all use adb under the covers, so there can be conflicts if not managed appropriately. It's probably best to fully exit HTC Sync if you have it.
By the way, someone on the Droid Charge forums has run a speed comparison between the various USB tether methods, and it's a bit enlightening. Despite PdaNet's claims of "handling download speed of well above 35Mbps (35000kbps) over USB and [being] the fastest tethering software available for Android, it really lags behind everyone else.

wireless tether has been money, however easy tether (on Bamf sense 3.0 mr2) has been working so far, maybe try that.
Right now I'm on BAMF Sense 3.0 Gingerbread using MR2 radio (MR1 had no service) and every time I hook up USB and hit "Share internet with PC", I drop 3G and 4G and don't even get 1x. It's irritating.
And when I use Wifi Hotspot built in application, I get very very shaky consistency. If the screen turns off, 4G drops. After 10-15 seconds, 4G resets.
One of the primary reasons I traded my iPhone for a Thunderbolt was to bypass the need for a cable modem but I'm having no such luck.
Can anyone recommend a rom that has 100% stability with tethering? I'd prefer Wifi tethering but I'll settle for USB tethering as long as it works as well as it did on any other HTC Android phone I've used.
And yes, I've tried Barnacle and no, I do not like it.
Try Wifi Tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I love it and it works fantastic for me.
I just found Wireless Tether and I'm giving it a shot. Aside from tethering issues, BAMF 3.0 is a great rom so I'd hate to move away from it.
I'm surprised Verizon found a way to block Wireless Tether from Market. They sure are getting ahead in their game! So far I haven't had any drops! *knocks wood*
It's funny that some rooted app on market is better at tethering than Verizon's own hotspot feature. You'd think if they want people to pay for it, the least they can do is make their app the best for it.
I always find apps created by independent programmers seem to be the best anyway. The features of Wifi-Tether are awesome too, you can change the SSID, enable encryption, and manually enable or disable devices from connecting to your hotspot. Cant beat all that for functionality.
i use SYNERGY 3.0 latest nighty with the wireless tether app and dont' have your issues. as far as i know, this is the only GB rom that doesn't have this problem. all froyo roms worked perfectly for me. with the stock kernel it came with and mr2 radio.
WiFi Tether for the win. I used it just yesterday to DL a 500mb disc img.
CM7's USB Tethering works great for me.

+1 to that. Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 MR2.5. Using wifi tether. works great. If you cant find the wifi tether on the market, just put your phone in airplane mode and use wifi to connect then go back to market and search wifi tether for root.
I am using this version of WiFi Tether ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta1.apk&can=2&q=
I have found in order to get a stable connection, if you go into Settings and scroll down under the LAN option ... there will be a checkbox for Routing fix. Once I turned that on, my connection has be very stable.
Hope this works for you.
Does any TBolt rom support it?
I think I've read about the stock one is the only one to support it after root.
Is it just something missing in these roms or is it something else?
I've tried these on some of the BAMF and a few other roms, but I haven't found one that works yet.
yeah i haven't found one either. the wired tether app doesn't seem to work for me. i am now on synergy 3.0 nightly and have to use wireless tether.
The wired tether app only works after you have downloaded HTCsync for your pc. Windows needs the modem drivers located in that file to properly connect to your phone.
Or you can download PDAnet/EasyTether and they basically do the same thing.

this isn't the case. my Evo (work phone) works just fine wired tethering, but my thunderbolt does not.
pdanet/easytether isn't free if i want to use secure sites... I'm technically okay for paying for the software, but I'd rather not when there are free resources like this out there that do indeed work on other devices.
Doesn't CM7 have wired tether? I could be wrong, no matter how many times I try I always end up back with Sense. But it seems like I remember it does, if you don't mind an AOSP ROM that is.
Ok apparently the drivers are part of the VZW software that tries to install whenever you connect the phone. It didnt appear to install any software to my pc, just the drivers necessary for the integrated wired tether mode to work. I didnt see any popups or warnings about incurring additional charges for doing this, so I assume it's ok.

+1. I've been using it this morning. No other apps needed. It even works with my Xoom wifi.
CM7 has Wireless Tethering... I've never tried to use the wired, but I did test wireless this past weekend.
I have an unrooted Asus Transformer running stock 3.1 and I'm trying to connect to the internet in any way I can through my Samsung Fascinate. My fascinate is rooted and running MIUI 1.7.1.3 with the 2.6.35.7-otb-cfs-fascinatemtd+ kernel.
I have tried the built in hotspot mode, Wireless Tether for Root Users (several variations of 2.0.7 and 3.0 and 3.1), Barnicle. I've tried wifi, BT and USB tethering and nothing works. The closest I get is witht he built in hotspot and Wifi Tether, both of which I can get it to see my fascinate but it gets hung up on "obtaining an IP..." Barnicle didn't work at all because I couldn't get infrastructure mode, only ad hoc. I can't use Wireless Tether with BT because for some reason this option is greyed out. I've also tried going legit and paying though VZW but that didn't work.
I've read the thread about reprovisioning my fascinate with qpst or something but can't figure out how to do it. I have a feeling my biggest problem is MIUI or my kernel. Can anyone suggest a kernel and/or ROM for my Fascinate that will allow me to sucesfully tethter?
Any other than the muiu or cm7 mtg builds should work. Those builds are very different from our source built stuff.
