This has been one problem that's plagued me with both the Evo 4G and now the 3D. Barnacle works but makes the internet painfully slow(er) and Wireless Tether for Root works on 4G but not 3G. Well, I finally figured it out. I'm not going to go into the details because I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what it's doing yet, but it comes down to Sprint's MTU and the tether apps expecting it to be something other than it is. All that is needed to fix it is to double the MTU from 1472 to 2944, and for whatever reason Wifi Tether will start acting right again. One side effect of this is that your ping will go up by about 20-40% but it may also help increase your download speeds ever so slightly too.
First you'll want to download the latest wifi tether from either the market or their site here.
Once you have that installed you'll want to open up an adb shell and, as root, type: setprop persist.data_netmgrd_mtu 2944
After that is set, toggle airplane mode on and off so that it uses the new value.
Next open Wifi Tether and go to Menu -> Settings -> enable Routing Fix
And that's it, wifi tether should work at full speed and the settings will stick with you after reboots. The value is originally set from the build.prop but as long as you don't wipe your data partition it should last.

xHausx, I followed your directions and now wireless tether works on both 3G and 4G. However, I now have a wakelock issue. I uninstalled wireless tether and the wakelock issue is gone. Reinstall wireless tether, do your method, and then wakelock issue is back.
Phone has only stock applications plus wireless tether. Using stock ROM and kernel. Any ideas?
Haus, check out my thread weird way to get wireless tether ... Maybe it can help you figure out what's going on.

This did work for me, but... I'm not sure you've found all the issues just yet. I ran about a dozen speed tests from speedtest.net and WiFi Tether seems very inconsistent and slow. Barnacle on the other hand is fast and smooth. I'm in a fringe area and Barnacle gives me 400k to 500k speed that is quite consistent. WiFi Tether on the other hand, while it does now work with this workaround, is about 100k up and down and it is very inconsistent and it stalls a lot. I'll stick with Barnacle for now because it seems to work well with no issues.

I believe Barnacle probably sets it to the usual default of 1500. If you set it to that wifi tether will work but it is painfully slow(er). I just doubled the E3D's default and hoped it would be the right size when the packets got fragmented(split into smaller chuncks). If someone has the time to play around with it some youthey could probably find a better MTU that would allow for even better speeds.

For sure, it is originally set in the build.prop and once set the value is, IIRC, saved under /data/system.

I think Barnacle changes this setting to 1500 by default, which works but is an extremely inefficient setting to use on Sprint's 3G. Hence why it is so slow.

It's still using the stock MTU then. I'm pretty sure what's happening is the data's being lost in a PMTUD black hole. It'll work when transferring small amounts of data but when you start using more bandwidth it gets flooded with error messages and starts ignoring you.
Check to see if it's changing it by replacing setprop with getprop, if it did set correctly try rebooting your phone or turning airplane mode on and off.
Encryption?
I've got the 3.1 beta2 installed and did this tweak. Wifi tether works fine for me with encryption disabled. But with it enabled, I can't get internet access. I'm sure I'm using the right passphrase and my laptop connects to tether. But I can't get data. Barnacle tether works fine for me with wep enabled. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I can temp root with no problems using my MacBook Pro and Fre3vo but no wireless tethering joy for me. Wireless Tether doesn't work at all. Barnacle gives no errors with the ad hoc connection, everything looks fine, even Snow Leopard's network diagnostics say that my internet is working fine, but no data is transmitted or received. I even tried all the tips/tricks in this thread, still no joy. Any suggestions?
PdaNet works ok with USB but is very unstable with Bluetooth.
BTW I had no problems at all with the EVO 4G either in ad hoc mode (early versions of Wireless Tether) or non ad hoc (whatever that's called, recent versions of WT).
I've tried most of the methods out there and the one in this thread has the highest success rate IMO. One important thing: check your apps and if you have "Super User" installed as an app, uninstall it first before trying the method in that thread.
Barnacle works perfectly for me under that setup.

I have the same issue. I also have a mac so it might be a mac issue. I get tether to work on my wifes shift so I know my computer works.

Thanks, the version of wireless tether mentioned in the linked post worked for me and I'm posting using it! I had tried every other version of WT on the google site, and every version of Barnacle I could find, none worked.
BTW I didn't have any error messages or have to change any settings as that page suggests, it just worked the first time.
This is the only version of WT that starts without errors for me, and I have to us WT as it can set up the softap network (Asus Transformer doesn't see ad-hoc). It sees it and connects, but can never get an IP Address.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to htc evo 4g
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business.

You mean this version, 3.1 beta 2? I've tried all the versions out there and some work perfectly some of the time, some never work, but none work all of the time. Can't figure out what changes, it's so random. I'm using the 3.1 beta 2 version to write this, but yesterday it didn't work and tomorrow I predict it won't work. BTW every time I start this version I get an error/warning message that some necessary thingamajigs aren't there, but I dismiss the message and it works anyway.
And of course I know I have to re-root after every restart etc.
works sporactically
Both Barnacle Wifi Tether and Andriod Wifi Tether work sporadically for me. It worked a few days ago and now it doesn't work.
is 4g tether working? I could not get it to work using barnacle
Barnacle works perfect for me with 4G...I haven't had one problem with it...
Supposedly, a beta version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" worked so long as you checked a box in the settings that was specific to HTC devices. I forget where there.
I've only had success with using my phone as a wifi hotspot with the Miks Rom, every other rom that I use, I've tried Barnacle, Wireless Thether for Root users and just about every other app available on the market but nothing works.
Which rom are you guys using and what wifi hotspot app works? Thanks!

Good deal! Forgot to mention that usually you need to check off 'routing fix' and 'mms clamping' in the settings of the wireless tether app. Not sure if you already got that or not, but if you run into any issues, keep that in mind.
For me those apk's only work on 4G, never on 3G. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
(Yes I've tried checking and unchecking the Routing Fix and MMS Clamping (whatever that is) 100 times. And I've tried using "automatic" device selection vs. selecting the EVO 3D. And tried using DNS servers other than the default ones. Always the same result, no tethering with 3G.)

I just got home from NYC and on the bus I was tethering via 3G the whole time.
The routing fix: on
MSS Clamping: on
Device profile: HTC Evo 3D
WiFi Tether version 3.1 b5
I even had WPA2 encryption on so others couldn't steal my bw...
Worked fine the whole ride, even when it would drop to 1x due to coverage areas.
Hmmm... didn't work for me, I'm using the same version of WiFi Tether, I've tried that group of settings many times and tried them again just now. Same issue: 4G joy, 3G no joy.
Soooo... I gave WiFi Tether some tough love... While I've uninstalled and re-installed it many times with no joy, this time I cleared data (via Menu / Settings / Applications / Manage applications / WiFi Tether / Clear data) BEFORE uninstalling WiFi Tether. Then after re-installing, now it's working on 3G or 4G... I can switch 4G on and off multiple times and it all works. I'm not terribly optimistic that it will continue to work on 3G, but at least I know one way that it DID work and hopefully I could get it to work again if it fails... thanks for the help.
Any clue as to a bluetooth tether?
I understand that WiFi is faster but Bluetooth is cheaper on battery life.
Credit goes to colestein on androidcentral for this. Figured id post it here since i haven't seen it anywhere here on XDA.
I'm using WiFi Tether 3.1 beta 6
Download the Data Enabler widget from the Market
Setup Wifi Tether as Nexus One, netd, mms clamping enabled
Use Data Enabler to shut off 3g
Start tethering
once tethering is started, enable 4g
You should have a consistent 4G signal and the benefits of infrastructure mode!
Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work? Im completely functional except my phone reboots once every 2 hrs or so...
I have 3 questions about wireless tether. Currently have it set up in infrastructure mode, and it is working great. I have wake lock on, not disabled because if the screen went to sleep, the connection would drop.
Wifi Tether profile is set up as Nexus One, netd enabled.
Here are my 3 questions.
1. When I enable wifi tether, the sprint tether icon appears in the taskbar. The software works, and I tether fine, but am I now registering tethering with the sprint network?
2. I do not have mms clamping enabled, What does it do, and should I have it enabled?
3. What does the enable routing fix option do?
This is working for me as well
Thanks!!
Sounds good, I look forward to testing this once I receive my Photon.
We have a similar fix like this for the Epic4G in that forum, but it's much more complicated and involves editing the framework.jar of the ROM.
Since 99% of tethering apps are filtered on the market for our phones, thanks to Sprint, a post to the file or an attachment of it would probably benefit the users of it in a greater capacity.
By the way folks, even though he isn't the creator of this workaround, the OP usually deserves a little thanks...
Worked for me in 3g. Very fast. I also get the tethering or mobile hotspot active (sprint mobile hotspot) but I just ignore it.
BTW, how is battery for most while plugged into the computer usb for charging while tethering. Mine can't keep up with the drain from the phone.

Wireless Tether 2.0.7 did not work for me. Nor did 3.1 Beta 9. The SSID of the Tether is not broadcast, and manually creating a profile connecting to hidden SSID doesn't make a connection either.
In Titanium Backup I see an app called "TetheringGuard 2.3.4", but freezing or uninstalling it makes no difference.

tetheringguard is on my phone and my wifi tether works. yours does too. TetheringGuard only seems to have effect on the verizon wifi hotspot app (if you delete tetheringguard, the hotspot app stops working). Whatever device youre trying to see the SSID with doesnt like ad-hoc connections and thats the only way the app works on the rezound right now. Either that or you tried turning on encryption, in which case, just turn it off and run it open. It does work though, I've used it plenty to tether my fiance's Ipad2.

This seems like a great phone in and of itself, but I'd still like the option to tether my tablet. Any suggestions?
As long as you are rooted, you can use WiFi Tether For Root Users (yellow WiFi bars picture) and it will tether just fine. You won't need to include tethering in a data plan to use it.

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Numerous errors on starting, unable to tether. Or more precisely, other devices can see the hotspot and tether to it, but do not get Internet access.
My main problem is that my phone will show up as a device instead of a router (like it used to on my OG Incredible), thus not allowing other phones or tablets to connect to it because they don't see the connection. Laptops work find though. I use "wireless tether for root users" with the green signal symbol and not the newer version because the new one doesn't show the data speeds and total data used in the app.
I am using the latest yellow version and both my Galaxy Note and Lenovo laptop tether to it but do not get Internet access.
sorry for jumping on old post.
Just wondering. On my moto droidbrazr maxxbi did an sqlight hack to bypass the entitlement check and was able to use the stock hotspot app even though i was on unlimited data. Would a similar work around work for dna?
Here are the settings that are working for me on ViperDNA 1.1.2
WiFi Tether 3.3-pre2
Device Profile: HTC Rezound
Setup Method: Netd-Ndc (MASTER)

Solution WiFi Tether_HTC DNA
Just enabled my WiFi Tether I am using WiFi Tether 3.2-beta2 with ROM Super Stock v1.0106.605.4 http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565190
Searched YouTube and found..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF77Pk-nZng Followed his steps and I'll be it worked!
LOL for anyone still using the DNA, I just installed NuSense Six and FoxFi works perfectly - not ad-hoc, full infrastructure mode, so it will work with devices other than PCs.

I'm using all stock roms (I was s-off and flashed stock recovery, grabbed OTAs, flashed TWRP recovery). I installed SuperSU & BusyBox than was able to tether using Barnacle Wifi Tether~ it gave me an error for adhoc but I was able to click associate and use my 4g on an iPad.(Also checked external IPs & ran speedtests to confirm it was using 4G)
Not working for me. It gets stuck at "please wait while starting". And just spins. I can back out of it but nothing good happens.
