Been searching for it for a while and found many that where working but none that worked for more than 15 seconds then crashed, got this one now, and it works great. Been testing it for the last hour, and even using right now as i type this. It is attached to the attachment, download and install the APK. Enjoy guys
NO CREDIT GOES TO ME, IT ALL GOES TO THE CREATOR OF wifitether*pre3.apk
Credit GOES TO skullkandy
No link displayed (for me), and this was discovered a couple days ago with the wifitether*pre3.apk (would give credit to who discovered it, but on my phone, too lazy to search back, and retype this)
EDIT: got unlazy for a second. Credit was for skullkandy

added to the root thread post, thanks for the info bro.
This has worked consistently for me since install.
It also seems to not need any sort of special install procedure, you can just drop the apk and install from astro or whatever file manager you use.

Wifi tether
You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!
her does anyone know if wifi tether can tether to android phones? I heard that the EVO can do it I really need this on my slide.

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

I thought so too until I tried it with my G1.. something about adhoc modem won't allow android to android connection. I'm so jealous I wish I had an evo now.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.
Causes reboot on my Slide running CM Nightlies... (8/12/2010) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Need to check the log but it is consistent, does the same thing with AdFree.

Same thing using CM-RC1 (8/15/2010). Dang, was hopeful this would be a quick fix.
You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Not sure if its compatibility with Froyo since (technically speaking) Froyo is suppose to have built-in Hotspot support.

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)
Hello all,
just picked up a fascinate to tinker with while waiting for new phones too arrive . With an easy task in qpst you can tether via verizon mobile hotspot for free. Obtain QPST (don't ask me where to get it)
Install GalaxyS Drivers (they are floating around the forum)
Put phone in modem mode (setting, wireless, enable dial up)
Fire up QPST (youll see windows adding the driver etc blah blah)
Add port (should be USB in there)
Once you see your phone in qpst goto the start clients menu and start service programming.
hit read from phone (password is 000000)
tab over to M.IP, under profile 1 click edit.
Changed tethered NAI to [email protected]
Click write to phone,
phone will reboot, use mobile hotspot
NOTE: I am not responsible for any charges you may get, but you should be fine
EDIT: Please note if you ever reprogram your phone *228, then you need to perform this again.
If rooted can wireless tether app work? Thinking about upgrading soon, but not wanting to pay for something free now.
Sent from my CLEB Froyo Eris
technically this won't require root but yes i am rooted and using verizons app for AP mode instead of wireless tether for root users.
Is there an advantage to doing it this way rather than using wireless tether? Not being critical...just curious.
I didn't look into wifi tether for root much for the fascinate but by default it seems to use ad-hoc mode some may prefer AP mode also this helps those that don't wish to root.
Great point, having a norm connection would be nice. Got so used to ad -hoc. Thank-you for quick reply.

Multiple devices and Infrastructure mode are not the same thing. Certain devices require infrastructure mode to connect, such as the PSP. Even though you can connect multiple devices to the phone through wifi, it still will not let you connect a PSP since the phone is identifying itself as a wifi device, not a wifi access point or router.

I just rooted and couldnt get Barnacle or the other Wifi tether app to work. After some googling I saw that there's an issue with the Vibrant and tethering. Any known working wifi tether apps working? If not, what can I do? Install a custom ROM?
Mobile AP works just fine for me
Im using the standard ROM and don't see the mobile AP option. In the market I just see a mobile AP shortcut that doesnt do anything but warn me it doesnt work on my phone.
By "standard rom" I take it you mean TouchMyWiz, but what version are you running?
I'm pretty sure this will work for you no matter which 2.1 rom you are using.
Mobile AP App Fixed to Work on Samsung Vibrant
i've been running barnacle tether for the past week to run my ipod with little to no issues as long as i have a decent 3g signal on my phone.
I was having this issue with Wireless Tether for Root Users whenever I tried downloading form the market or any repository.
I ended up downloading the apk for the Facinate from the android-wifi-tether google code page and after a couple tries it worked fine for me on Obsidian V4.2.
Okay i am running liquid thunderbread v2.6 and for some reason when i activate wireless tether the app in the setting activates as well and cancels wireless tether out so i have to manually set up a wifi connection each time. Is this a known issue or is there a fix for it. I was thinking maybe there was way to delete the stock tethering setting but havent found anything so far.
Thanks in advance for any tips tricks and help.
I've been having odd issues with any and all WiFi tether apps.
Like only v 2.0.7 of Wifi-Tether works for older devices such as my old Droid1 and such, but I cant enable WEP on it.
Now on Barnacle, I can use WEP and my iPad/laptop sees my phone, except my Droid1 and some other wifi devices cant see it.
And the latest version of Wifi-tether, doesn't work at all for my phone.
I'm running stock GB OTA update with revoked-root methahod.
Weird yea all my devices see it but for some reason they cant connect because the stock one in the settings cancels it out and I have to manually enter it in

Please state what ROM your are on.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
If your phone doesn't already include the option to tether in your settings, download the app from the link above. Once downloaded you're pretty much good to go from there... Sorry for not elaborating more, but I'm typing this on my phone... When I get to a PC in the morning I'll type up something more formal/informal.
Quick question for reference, what rom are you using?
My vibrant has a euphoria.. I thought T-Mobile block tethering...

They blocked tethering through user agent sniffing . Chrome seems to be the only user agent being blocked at the moment . If you use internet explore it will work or you could use "user agent switcher" extension for chrome .

Really? Because I just typed up this post on my PC in Google Chrome (without the "user agent switcher" extension) and I am currently tethered to my Vibrant. I've also tested Internet Explorer, which also works while tethered to my Vibrant... I'm using the app I mentioned above, although the built in wireless tether feature also works for me. Then again, I am using a custom rom, so that could explain why it works for me. Anywho... landrian18, you want to know how to get tether on your device? OK, I'll show you how to do it both on an ICS rom and with the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" app.
On an ICS rom:
Note- I'm not positive this is the same method you would use on euphoria as I'm on a different ICS rom, however, you can still try and see. It should be the same.
1. Go into your phones system settings, this can be accomplished by either locating the settings icon in your app drawer/home screen or by clicking the leftmost physical touch button on your phone.
2. Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS click More....
3. Click Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note 2- Your phone is now acting like a Wi-Fi hotspot and is accessible/detectable by almost all wireless devices except other Android smart phones. If you would like to encrypt your Wi-Fi hotspot click Configure Wi-Fi hotspot and change the password. You can also rename the Wi-Fi hotspot by changing the SSID from AndroidAP (or whatever the default is) to whatever you'd like.
On the app:
Note- These steps are written under the assumption that you have already installed the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" application.
1. Locate and launch the WiFi Tether for Root Users application.
2. Done. That's all you got to do.
Note 2- If you want to customize the SSID, password (remove password), encryption type, etc. Simply go into the apps settings.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I'm on a custom ROM I've been tethering forever but now I get redirected to TMobiles tethering advertisement page . Others have recently complained about this on XDA . It only works of I use user agent switcher .

That's rather intriguing. Especially since the thread you linked me to originated in 2010. I've never had this issue, although I do use Google Chrome. Hmmm... Very interesting indeed. So you get a window from T-Mobile if you tether using Google Chrome and without the switcher extension?

I have ics and I use the interface no app needed. Though when I used the together for root I get errors . Strange because when I had gingerbread I used the root tether app with no problems

1.
does the phone charge, tether and receive incoming calls while pluged in usb, during wifi or usb tethering? (I used to tether an evdo device and an incoming call would drop the internet)
2.
supposedly easytether will screw with any future attempts to flash your phone and best avoided, whats the best fully featured free alternative to pdanet for a rooted vibrant to usb tether? + can you confirm wifi tether for root works on device?
3.
If I use firefox on my laptop and get redirected to a tmobile subscription page all I have to do is install this addon on my laptop. even if I get re-directed before installing the addon, installing the addon will solve the issue?
thanks, I did a couple searches and didn't find answers.

Just a quick question, are you sure you have the vibrant, and not the galaxy s 4g? There is no stock gingerbread on the vibrant...
Side note, I've used easy tether (great alternative to pda net) along with firefox for a few years and have never seen the t mobile warning. Used it on stock and rooted g1 and vibrant with never any issues.
Does an incoming call drop your usb internet connection and does it charge while connected?
Unless I'm wrong the sgh-t959v is a vibrant as observed from the label. I updated via kies to gingerbread rom from mfg that why I called it stock, not a custom rom.
T959v isn't the same as our t959 Vibrants.
Ours didn't have a GB update via Kies. Be careful even using Kies.
-I'm not sure there is much in our Vibrant thread that applies to t959v at all. Is the t959v the Samsung Blaze 4g? I must research this when I have time.
note: don't modify your phone with anything you see here at all until someone with more knowledge chimes in. I think its a bad idea.
T959v is the galaxy s 4g! T959 is the vibrant. The vibrant never got the gingerbread update, galaxy s 4g did.
Easy tether does charge while in use, phone calls I don't know, never tried.
