I have a rooted droid x using wireless tether and also have barnacle installed, depends on the day which one works best. I can connect my laptop no problem. My htc evo won't find the wireless signal?? I tried using bluetooth also, still won't work. Does the evo prohibit peer to peer?

It's because wireless tether for root users and barnacle both setup ad-hoc networks. Android doesn't see ad-hoc networks like your pc does. Search on this and there are some files that have been edited on other device that could help get around this, although I never had any luck. There's been a mobile access point ported for the vibrant that I'm using now, that creates an infrastructure mode, maybe they have one for your device?
Has anyone tried any of the wi-fi tethering apps on the market with a rooted Photon? Did it work or will we have to wait for an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM?
I find tethering to be occasionally useful, but not useful enough to pay an additional $30/month.
I usually tether to a tablet so Bluetooth/USB solutions won't work.
Thank you.
I would love to know that answer.

I have verified that Wifi tether works via the Wifi Tether App on the market once root is obtained.

Can you tell me if it runs in AP (Infrastructure Mode) or Ad hoc?
I had this problem originally on my evo (before wifi tether supported infra) that a lot of devices will only connect to an access point running in AP (infrastructure) mode.

It only worked on Adhoc mode. I could connect laptops and ipod/ipad but not Galaxy Tab10.1. I had to do Adhoc modification on the tab so it can connect. I hope wifi tether app gets updated to support AP mode on Photon soon.
wifi tether 3.0 beta 2

Should have an option in the settings to make it broadcast in infrastructure mode. It may call it softap, check it out.
Could not get wifi tether to work on my rooted photon no matter which mode I used.

The software has the options, but the drivers must support it. The Evo didn't get infrastructure mode support in the drivers until 2nd 2.2 update I think.
Either, its up to the wifi tether people to update it for photon like they did for the evo.
On a rooted Photon, is there a way to enable native Android tethering, which seems to be currently hijacked by the Sprint app? Because that would provide infrastructure mode.
i think the question is, where do we request support for the photon?
Anyone having any luck with a solution?
Same problem here ... installed wifi tether on my rooted photon. Can start tethering, clients can join the network, but there's no data communication. Upload/download counters don't change and the client never gets an IP address. Anyone have any luck? I downloaded the current 3-1 beta.
Mine works fine, just downloaded it from the market. Not sure why some of your guys' isnt working.
It works, just not for the devices we want it to[read: devices that use infrastructure], such as the xoom in my case, as well as other tablets. Works great for my girlfriend's macbook though...

I've rooted the MoPho and installed the beta version of WT. I've also tried Barnacle and even the native Hotspot function in the phone all to the same result.
I can see the SSID in inSSIDER and on the network list in Win7. I select it and enter the security key but get a message that Win cannot connect.
Ideas? Am I missing a step?
After some more tinkering I found that if I turned off encryption WT beta works. It's quite slow even with a 4g connection but it works. I also tried Barnacle and the native hotspot application and they both connected but had no internet access.
Ao it looks like WT beta is the answer. Now if anybody can help get encryption to work that would be most helpful.
I haven't had any problems off the market, only device I've tried on it is an ipad 2 though

I have WT beta and it will not let me connect my tab. Not home so I don't know if my laptop connects.

Hello, all. I am wondering if anybody can help me resolve a issue with wifi tethering .. I can't for the life of me, get it to work.. I'm using HTC Droid Eris rooted (unknown source) on cricket network, I see no errors while I start up and it says sharing connection, but I can't see it on any devices! I've tried, barnicale, Google's code site, and just about every other tether app I could find! Is this an issue with cricket itself, cm7, or maybe kernel!? Please help! Thanks in advance

Did you find a solution? 2.0.7 doesn't work for me either. the wireless tether hasn't worked for me since i flashed 7.1 CyanogenMod.
I am using CM7 and Barnacle works for me but I have to press both start and associate. I also have troubles with wifi tether.
I've been using cm7 for months and barnacle and the wireless tether 2.0.7 both work normally for me. You try wiping everything reflashing then installing apps one at a time to see if that fixes your problem?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I stopped using 2.0.7 a long time ago. It was killing my battery even while it was plugged in. Currently I am using the 3.x beta series of Wireless Tether (I am currently using beta 6) with KhosFroyo v39 (am preparing to move away from this soon) via Verizon Wireless.
Check to make sure you can access data using a web browser. Also check to make sure you can connect to a wifi network. If you can't find wifi networks with the phone, your wifi antenna may be damaged.
When using tethering, make sure wi-fi is disabled first (tethering will start it automatically).
Then start up tethering after defining the Eris in the profile settings. Your devices shouldn't have any problems seeing it. I've had up to 3 laptops + an Xbox 360 connected all at once.
whats rom-version you have?
I am using cm7 and barnacle. I can't use any security and had to change the custom wifi adhoc setting to hero/Eris.

If you are trying to tether another device to your Eris, you need to make sure that the 2nd device can see "Adhoc" networks. You may need a different wpa_supplicant file on the 2nd device.
I'm running GSBv4.2 -CM7.1-11152011 with the Wireless Tether v2.0.2. I've used Barnacle on other ROMs also.
here i got this with a rom and it's worked on every rom i've ever flashed since i got it. copy both of em, use the the app with the green logo

Only tether suggestion that worked for me. Major props. Cm7 rom
Im using the Mac rom mr8 sr1 and I figured out the problem.. it was working the whole time, I jus was trying tether it to another android and a PSP.. and neither one of those support ad-hoc. So I flashed a wifi supplicant that lets the android connect to ad-hoc! I still havnt found a way to push the tether on an Eris into an infrastructure tether yet... so if anybody's seen that work, let me know.. I use both Samsung galaxy s and the eris.. it would be nice to have the Eris push out a normal AP, and not ad-hoc

I am trying to tether my Droid X2's 3G to my new Galaxy Player 5.0, I have tried Barnacle and a couple other tethering apps from the market but the GP is not reading my network.
I tried searching for this but found nothing so I figured I would get the communities opinion on what the best way to do this is.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: I have noticed that Barnacle works better for me through the Droid X2, I don't know what everyone else is using, but this is what has worked the best for me.
I too am trying to tether my x2 running eclipse rom to my player with barnacle. I tried open garden bluetooth and it wouldn't work. Can you explain how to replace the thing with barnacle? Thanks!
It found my Optimus-V hotspot in a few seconds, just using the hotspot widget in Widgetsoid2. I've onlyhad the need/desire to tether once since I have wifi at home and work. Not supposed to tether with VM anyway
Ditto to the above, what works for me is using wireless hotspot app. I have my Epic 4g running a custom ROM called CleanGB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344074 and it includes a 'custom' WireLess Hotspot that I leave running so my wife's Galaxy Player 5 can jump on my 3G/4G via WiFi. (don't get me going though on the slug and almost non-existent Sprint 4G)
Find it interesting (and frustrating) that Barnacle calls itself a ' WiFi tether' but is actually a wireless hotspot. Tether in cell phone speak has always implied a wired connection between your phone and another device. Hope those lines don't start blurring.
Best tethering (phone to computer via USB cable) IMHO is hands down PDANet from a company called June Fabrics. It works seemlessly in Windows XP and Windows 7. Even if your provider charges you to use tethering via their Android or Blackberry app, PDANet can hide the data connection.... They also make one for the Mac OSx environment I believe.

Try PDA Net for tethering. Works always! Best tether I have used, much better than the standard samsung one for me

Hi, I am using a rooted DROID razr m. I I can not get the wireless tether to work. When I open the app and begin tethering it says that the wireless network had been created but when I search for the signal on another device it doesn't show up. I am by no means an android expert.
