Anybody have any luck with wifi tether? If so, which app?
Thanks!
Don't think that's going to work until we get root.
~John
Thanks, but I am temp rooted.
I should have mentioned that as well as that I've tried Barnacle and the Tether app in Nils' temp root script.
No go so far. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
i keep hearing about how "Easy Tether" does not require root, but i never do wifi tethering anyway(just use PDANet). i suppose it's worth looking into if you haven't yet.
This one works for me.

LOTS of settings in there! Thanks!
But I haven't yet found one that will work....
This is absolutely imperative for me to use. I have had no luck with any version of wifi tether. Any help would be much appreciated...

just suck it up and pay for hotspot until root is achieved??? And then cancel the hotspot.
Hey guys. Went to this site and grabbed the first one on the list. Tethering my laptop and posting this right now. Props to the dev.

Whoops. Just noticed that I was connected to my home wifi again. Drafts. Can't get a connection again. At least not with internet availability. Someone let us know if you get this working. I am temp rooted and it askes for SU permissions, which it says granted.

Anyone know if this one is supposed to work on all rooted devices?

I have temp root thanks to z4root. I proceeded to download the wif theter from the market and although it links it to superuser, when i try to launch it it tell me that it cant, and if I have root priviledges.
I downgraded to the older version 1.6 (that I was using with my Hero) and that one seems to work fine.
Am I missing something, or is it that the new version is not supported by the temp root?

Its more likely that the new version doesn't support the Evo Shift. Give the devs time to release one that can support the new framework.
Will do. Will see.
Thanks
I downloaded the "wireless tether for root users" and it works with my temp rooted Shift. I did root with Visionary if that makes a difference for you. The Z4root didn't take for me, so I had to use the other, but that app does work for me, I know there are like 20 apps but the one market specifically "Wireless Tether for root user", I forget the publisher of it, works for sure.

Yes, but you have to pay Sprint $10 extra per month to get tethering
I believe the hotspot is 29.99 or something close to $30 a month.
It's $29.99. I called to ask

After reading your posts I tried again and at first it didnt work again. I uninstalled the app and then installed again and this time it seemed to work.
Apparently the process of updating the older version was what was messing it up.
So to anybody out there, if you are having trouble uninstall and install again.
So I have my shift temp rooted for now (until I can finish full permaroot) using the wireless tether for root users app, and did a speed test to dismally find that I'm only running at .75Mbs. What kinds of speeds are the rest of you getting? Also, I'm sitting on max 4G signal in the middle of NYC.

I also just tested the speed directly from my phone and got nearly 8 Mbs, so it's definitely something with the tether. I wouldn't expect that large of a speed drop.
Edit: So I've played around a lot more today and have some updates.
First, I was able to successfully permroot today, so much thanks to the team that made it possible. Been following Joeykrim for a while and had his kernel on my moment before the upgrade.
I've also downloaded the wired and wireless tethering apps from the market. I changed my proxy port and server from the default to 0 and 0.0.0.0 respectively. Unfortunately, both tethering apps are only achieving speeds of .5-.75 Mbs currently, whereas speed tests on the phone itself indicate the true blazing 4G speeds (7.5 Mbs here)
I know the EVO required a special fix to be able to tether at 4G speeds, but the fixes listed for it appear to not line up for the new Shift. Has anyone so far had any luck tethering at 4G capacity speeds? I use my phone for my primary internet, so this is a huuuge deal for me haha.
Thank you to any and all for your time!
I have a Droid 1 and it is rooted. When I run Barnacle tether my Flyer does not show that there are any wifi signals in the area. I do not have trouble connecting to my house wifi but I would really like it if I can get my Flyer to tether to my phone.
I know barnacle is working properly because I am using it right now with my netbook.
After doing some more searching it seems like this a problem with all tablets, and the only fix is to root the tablet. So I guess I will be patiently waiting for root.
I can connect to my evo using the wifi tether app. I would suspect that its the barnacle app and not the flyer.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I can connect to my Desire Z WiFi hotspot running CM7.
Ad-Hoc
I think Barnacle creates an Ad-Hoc network and that may be why the Flyer doesn't connect. It works fine with my Inspire 4G which doesn't use that method.

I am in the same boat, droid 1 patiently waiting for a way to tether to the htc flyer
I connect my HTC Flyer to my phone with no problem.
Yeah the issue is that the wifi hotspot you created is adhoc. If you use the froyo built-in tethering, that should work.
I think the problem is the Droid 1 and how it creates a hotspot. Because I have used both barnacle and also wifi tether with the same results. My netbook can see it but not my tablet.
I am not sure why this is because I am also running CM7, but I guess it must be the way the Droid 1 is. And until the flyer gets rooted there is nothing I can do about it.

As in the one you have to pay for through verizon? I don't like tethering that much. lol. Id rather just wait then.
Cm7 has built in WiFi tethering. You don't need an app to do it. I suggest trying that under the WiFi settings. You don't have to pay for it.

I don't know. Tmobile doesn't charge. But I doubt you'd have to pay if it's a third party ROM like cyanogenmod.

I have a rooted d1 running Project Elite 4.2 flawlessly. I can connect anything including an iPod Touch to my droid via Wireless Tether app with the exception of my Flyer tab.
Why is the tablet different then everything else? It does not even see the d1.
Any suggestions other than changing ROMS? PE 4.2 has been the best on my phone.

Thats exactly why I started this thread. I agree PE 4.2 is amazing you should try some of the new GB roms they have really come a long way.
If we get the flyer rooted there are some apps and some .zip files out there that can fix this for us. We just need root access.
As someone already suggested, it sounds like the Flyer's wireless client doesn't recognize ad-hoc networking. Only infrastructure networking like hotspots, office and home WiFi.
Maybe there's and apps with better control of the wireless stack.

I have tried several of the gingerbread Roms with poor results. PE, liquid and cm7 all run great at first but become very buggy after a day or so. My d1 likes PE 4.2 the best.
Are there other tether apps that don't use ad-hoc?
Here's my wish list, in order of priority:
working wired tether
sense-based
gingerbread
My Verizon
NFL mobile
The wired tether seems to be the sticking point. I think the leaks started disabling it after a certain date, at which point it was disabled in a lot of roms. It works in Das bamf 1.0.4, but later versions broke it but fixed My Verizon and NFL.
I've tried several others and haven't found one that works yet. Anyone have a ROM that covers these bases? Would CM7 work, minus the sense?
Thanks
I think Sky Raider will fit all of that except for maybe My Verizon. There is an update coming soon but I don't know if My Verizon was something given much attention.
BAMF SoaB (Sense 3.5) works for all of that except I have no idea on the nfl mobile. I don't follow team sports.
KillaSense is my Rom. It's GB with the latest base 2.11.605.5, stock Sense 2.1, working wifi tether (go to wifi tether app, hit menu, settings, check routing fix and your good to go), working my Verizon, and I had NFL mobile working (hint: try signing in to my Verizon app first). Check it out.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt powered by KillaSense 3.0
Wired tether didn't work on SoaB or KillaSense. Keep in mind that I am talking about WIRED tether (aka Internet Connection Mode), not WiFi. The PC I'm tethering to doesn't have a wireless card.
SoaB didn't even have it in the menu options. If you can find it, let me know - it is a great looking ROM. KillaSense had the option, but when you check the box, the wheel just spins forever and doesn't do anything.
Wired Tether worked on SkyRaider, but My Verizon didn't. Wired tether is more important to me, so I'm going to stick with that until I find a different ROM that fits all of my needs. Thanks guys!
Pretty simple move files needed to make my Verizon work to skyraider. The file names escape me at the time, its like signonengine, ssopermissions, and my Verizon something to that effect.

Yeah I found that somewhere else. I didn't need to do the first part, just the part about logging in under no PRL.
I was on a super old froyo rom until recently because I was too lazy and almost everything worked that I needed. So I wasn't up on any of the new fixes. Thanks.
is all good,if it aint broke dont fix it and out ain't obsolete if it still does what you want it to do!

I use Synergy rom (latest nightly) and I can do all you asked for - though I have yet to try nfl. I use my verizon on a regular basis though so it should work. Also if wired tether is an all the time thing think about PDA net, I use to use that when i would wire-tether alot.
Why not use the rooted stock 605.5 gingerbread? Does all of the above and still root for any apps you want it for. I just downloaded My Verizon from market and it works. I'm using it b/c it seems to be giving me the best battery life i've ever had. I'm confused as to why as stock roms normally kill my battery, but i guess results will vary.
I installed it on my LTE Note and just shared my 4G connection with my (recently deactivated) iPhone. My phone isn't rooted and I'm a wifi hotspot!

been using foxfi since it came out and it is awesome, as far as I know it has always been free
I wonder if this way is easier for ATT to track or know if you have tethered somehow? I usually just root & freeze the ATT tethering manager which works fine and go through the stock tethering manager.
One of the main reasons id root currently is too tether my device for my PS vita etc on the go. But i wanna stay on the stock Rom for a bit so no reason to root if this works.

I agree. Other than having the ability to back up my saved games (Titanium) and removing bloatware, I am running out of reasons to root.
I do hope that this isn't some conspiracy by AT&T to find out who is tethering because THAT WOULD SUCK.
I'm careful with how much data I transfer using foxfi and so far I have not been warned by [email protected]
doesn't like htc phones for wifi
I have a htc inspire phone and a acer a500 tablet. I usa pdanet on the phone to allow me to tether to it from my laptops but doesn't work with the tablet. June Fabrics, pdanet's developer, has come out with a new version that reuires foxfi on the phone and the new pdanet on the tablet. When I click on the pdanet on the tabletnitntells me it work work with bluetooth and to connect using wifi. When I bring up foxfi on the phone and click on the wifi option it tells me the there is a "htc hotspot block" and to use bluetooth mode. Kind of catch 22. Oh well, two more mobile products that don't work!
Good tip

Down loaded and installed, works great thanks for your time. First test was connecting my I717 to my lap top how cool.
I have a rooted, and radio unlocked Atrix 4g. I didn't install the rom (bough it used), but it says that it is the zch45inxdroid55. I went to the Cairbbean for a week and was using a 3G/4G plan with tethering (go figure that they could get a 2GB tethering plan with calls and text for under $50US, with 2GB more for just over $10 more) and the phone REFUSED to do mobile hotspot or usb tethering. I tried the "ro.mot.entitlement_check=false" trick. the build.prop did NOT have this entitlement line in there originally, so i added it. The APN already has tether in it. I restarted and tried again, with no luck. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me.
It should be noted that i can use my lapdock already with no problems, just not the mobile hotspot
Thank you!

So there is no way to get this disabled and use the "standard" way of bluetooth or usb tethering. honestly would like a BT option.
