It seems that as soon as I start using WiFi tether, my bluetooth shuts off. Is this normal? Is there no way around this?
If you use Wifi tether app, there is an option in the settings menu to not turn off bluetooth while using Wifi tether.

Using barnacle? Anyone know how it never works...
Just install Barnacle wifi tether, turn on 3g, click start on barnacle then you should be able to search and connect to 'barnacle' with your laptop/other device.
You MUST HAVE root for this to work.
Like the title says. I've tried both "wifi tether for root users" and also "barnacle." Both will turn on but then I can't connect to it from my pc. Anybody else have this problem? And does anyone else know what to do to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Did u try running barnacle closing it out then using WiFi tether

Barnacle only runs Ad-Hoc on 3G. Setting in App. Some devices can't use Ad-Hoc.
Wifi Tether only seems to work on 4G.
Sprint Hot Spot (installed from a Custom ROM) runs AD (not ad-hoc) on 3G.
I can only get 3g from the native hotspot, no 4G tethering. It kicks me off 4G once I connects to native hotspot. The wireless tether starts with errors in the show log saying wifi interface failed. So basically thats a no go.

I can't get wifi tether to work for me either. Tried connecting to PS3 and it says "cannot obtain IP address" Hotspot works though.
I really don't understand Wi-Fi tethering... What i think it is that you connect your Wi-Fi then when Wi-Fi tethering starts, it can make that certain Wi-Fi the hotspot? Im not sure how to do it tho... And i read that whenever you use Wi-Fi tethering T-Mobile will notice and charge you. Even when tethering within an app, but some apps have an option to stay hidden. All I'm trying to say is how do i exactly Wi-Fi tether?

Google is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering

If you still need help ask in that thread.
I'm using Wifi Tether Router to enable tethering on my EVO 4G LTE. Right now I have Tasker set to launch the app when I connect to my car's bluetooth, then I press the "Enable Wifi Router" button to start tethering. What I'd like to do is have tasker start the tethering action, I'm just not sure how I can get it to do this. Wifi Tether Router has a widget too, but I don't know how I could get tasker to press the widget button either. Does anyone know how I can get this working? Thanks!

No
If you need to share wifi connection you have to use bluetooth or usb.
