Hi, I was wondering with the Photon rooted and the Wifi Tether app installed could I activate and disable the tethering feature with the app Tasker with no screen shown?
I used to have my EVO configured with CM7 turn bluetooth and wifi tether on and off when in my car dock. I am trying to replicate that with my Photon.
Apparently not lol .. Anyone know of another wifi tether app that would be compatible with Tasker? thanks!

Thanks for the reply however I wasnt asking about how to get just wifi tether.. I was asking about how to get tasker working with the wifi tether app.. I did locate what I needed. Figure I would share it here in case anyone else wanted it:

how can i fix this and make my WIFI TETHER WORKS
please help
im running 2.0.5-pre7 on my Vibrant. Seems to work perfect.
What version are you running?
Also, be sure that your laptop can use "AD-HOC" networks as the tether app sets the phone up that way.
I know that my Nook can not use adhoc - therefor cant even see the tether network.
I would seriously recommend getting rid of WT or Barnacle (big fan of both) and use the tether app that was on the international galaxy that was removed from the carriers.... here is where I found it. It is truly a lot better!

Take note, this is not an app in your drawer, its in your settings (first post explains it). I dont think you will have ANY issues with it.
you have to be rooted to use it.
I just want some confirmation here (after reading every possible thread on it)
Is there a fix/solution or way around the tethering and wifi hotspot.
Before I go and upgrade my line for this phone I want to make sure that I can use Wifi Hotspot.
I am currently on the MT4G and can't live without hotspot.
I am not the only one who connects to my phone for internet.
I definitely need to know that it will work without me having to pay extra for tethering AND wifi hotspot.
Please let me know if you can personally confirm that you got both tethering AND wifi hotspot working.
Thanks a lot guys.

This is a duplicate thread.

Sorry to start a new wifi tethering thread but I couldn’t find any information on the issue I am having. I have tried to use open garden wifi tether from the market and it seems to work but when I go to stop it I get a error saying “unable to stop is you device rooted”. At this point it will not stop transmitting and I have to reboot my phone to get it to stop. I am running TSM res 2.1 with GeeWiz kernel 2.4.2. Does anyone have this issue and is this normal? I’m not sure if it has something to do with the kernel and rom I am using. I would like to get the wifi thering working and would appreciate any help you guys could give me or any suggestions on using a different wifi tethering app. I was looking at the android wifi tethering app but I’m not sure which version I should be using for my phone. Thanks in advance for the help.
Give barnacle wifi tether a try. I have had good luck with that tethering app. Wireless tether is another you could give a go at

Hello folks,
I have a rooted Atrix 4G 2.3.6/4.5.141. Recently installed Nebtop 1.3 to get Webtop to work on my LCD TV. I got everything to work but freaked out when a message regarding tethering popped up (I do not have the dock nor tethering plan). My Wifi was turned off and I obviously could not connect to the internet since I do not have a tethering plan.
A couple of questions. I read something a while back about ATT forcing a tethering plan if they see that you placed the phone into the dock without subscribing to a tethering plan. Is this true? Is there any way they will force some kind of a tethering fee now that I hooked it up to the LCD TV?
-If I turn on Wifi, will I be able to browse the internet? If not, what will I need to enable this?
-Assuming I don't have Wifi, I will need a hack to enable tethering. Which method do you folks recommend?
Many thanks for all of the help and I apologize for any stupidity in advance .
Use WiFi and you won't need to worry about tethering. If you tether without a tethering plan there is always a chance they will catch you.
How will they find out that I'm tethering though if it was disabled right off the bat? Are you referring to hacking/excess data usage?
Is it true that if I use the built in Android browser and not Firefox, i will still be able to access the internet (without relying on Wifi)?

So the phone is rooted and looking to start using tethering....
anything special needed to avoid verizon turning on the hotspot on my account?
which app seems best in your opinion ?
You don't even need root for wifi tether. Just use one of the tether toggle widgets and it enables tethething without subscription.
A couple threads on this.
