How to teetherwith the offical gingerbread update? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to teether the atrix so I can have internet on my wifi galaxy tab 10.1? Barnacle isnt working and pda app is crashing all the time. I used the apn hotspot method untill the update but now thats not working anymore. the rooting and fixing hotspot is to scary for me. Any help would br appreciated. Thx.

Weird way to get wireless tether to work on 3g and 4g

Let me start by saying I take no credit for discovering this I am simply passing along information I found that I thought may be useful... I actually stumbled across it here... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1057&q=evo 3d
Not sure if this has been brought up but I figure this will help until these issues are resolved. Basically you have to download both barnacle wireless tether and wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. In order for wifi tether to work you first have to start barnacle tethering, once it starts close it out then start up wifi tethering and voila you should connect. I have tested this with both 3g and 4g and connected and transferred data on both. You only have to open barnacle once unless you reboot. If you reboot or restart your phone, you have to start barnacle again, close it and then start wifi tether. I have no idea why or how this works but it does. Hopefully somebody more skilled than I can figure out what is happening as it doesn't seem to be kernel related as originally thought. Would love to hear back on results and maybe devs ideas as to how and why this works.
I can confirm also I have temp root couldn't get WiFi tether to work and my tab doesn't do ad hoc. It's working fine now thanks

yes i have and it worked for me.....been using this since the temp root, now with s-off.
EDIT: you dont need to install barnacle along with this in order to get it work. make sure u go into the setting and check the routing fix...this should allow you to tether. i am running it now to post this post.

Tried and still no go. I wonder if the temp root has something to do with it. Anybody else who did not temp root get WiFi tether to work without barnacle
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I have s-off and perm root. Tried this every way I can think of. Doesn't work. Tried it with the latest 3.1 beta. Tried it with your pre-14 link. Set desire-cdma and routing fix. Just doesn't work.
Are you sure you're not on 4G and that's why it is working for you? I mean, it does connect and it acts like it "wants" to work, but no go. Trying to connect to any website via the tether is just nada.

I'm pretty sure the only way to run it is how I stated in the op. Unless its something that temp root did.

Glad this helped some of u. I'm the guy who discovered the weird way to get wifi tether working by using barnacle. I posted it here a few weeks ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15599383#post15599383
Then I posted the issue on google code so that the dev would do something about it.
It's really bugging me since I have to turn off my phone everyday b/c there is no signal at work. Then I have to do the barnacle trick everyday. I cannot get cable/dsl/fios at home so I have to use wifi tether everyday. Sucks ass, but it's better than satellite. I think I'll wait a week till perm-root & roms are mature and flash something with the native hotspot unlocked. If you prem-rooted then u should just flash a rom now.
BTW I only use 3G obviously.. since I don;t live in the city and Clear doesn;t know how to run a business. I've tried wifi tether pre14 and the other versions which worked..i just stick to the latest. If u still can't get it to work try using device profile thunderbolt or evo 4g. I think I've been using evo 4g.

I'm assuming you are temp rooted, and I believe this is why pre 14 is working. I took the ota updates before rooting permanently and none of the WiFi tether work unless I use your trick. So its either a temp root thing or an ota thing.

wifi tether help

Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Hitch
Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.
It may work with that version...

No need to delete your question, it's certainly valid. Looks like the thread's been moved, so you're in the clear

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.
The good news is 96 people have read the post, the bad news is not one person posted any ideas, This usually happens when you cannot post in the rooted section.
Still hoping someone has some ideas to help out.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

can't he just download opengarden tether or barnicle tether from market or am I missing something?

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.

Need help with tethering after installing CM9 ICS

Sorry if this is a repeat but I am kinda new to all this. I just rooted my phone and installed ICS from CM9. If that's nit the right way to word it my bad. The only problem I'm having is I can't tether via USB anymore. My computer recognizes my phone but doesn't connect. I even tried to tether using pdanet and that didn't work either. Wifi tether works fine. Please help it would be much appreciated.

Though, it's worth asking: where did you get the CM9 that you installed? If you installed CM9 meant for an i9100, instead of one meant for an SPH-D710, that could be the source of your issue.

Why don't you just use the built in tether option?

Theres a work around so you can use the built in WiFi HotSpot without it going to the upsell page.
