Hi, I can't post in the synergy rom thread because I need at least 10 posts but someone over here will probably know anyway.
I flashed synergy rom onto my phone.
Usually for internet tethering I used PDAnet for usb thether and Wifi Thether (rooted) for wifi thethering.
I can open sprint hotspot but i don't want to click anything because I don't want to pay $40 a month.
I would like to use it instead because it is intergrated into the quicklaunch bar but would like some clarification.
Yes, hotspot unlocked=free. Shhhhh keep it a secret ;-p

Any form of wireless tethering has never worked for me, even with all of the 'hotspot unlocks' that are going around in the android development forum. The stock sprint hotspot does not work as it notifies me that my account doesn't have this option, and neither does wireless tether or barnacle. Running latest Supra rom.

TY I was gonna ask the same question as above
I've been able to create a wireless hotspot to share my 3G but not my 4G connection, which I believe matches what several other people have said in this thread about not having that feature on their account.
I've tried three tether apps so far:
- Sprint Hotspot (unlocked on Senseless 1.1 ROM)
- Barnacle (market)
- Wireless Tether (market)
With 3G both sprint and barnacle work. The client can connect and access the internet. The third app "wireless tether" for whatever reason didn't work for me, client had "limited or no connectivity".
But with 4G nothing worked. The Sprint Hotspot app shuts down the 4G connection. "Not subscribed to Hotspot/USB tethering service" "Your account does not include Mobile blah blah"
Barnacle with 4G still connects "ad hoc" and 4G stays up, which sounds like a promising start, but the connected computer can't load google or do anything useful.
So am I missing anything? Is it the case that all the tethering apps are only capable of sharing the 3G connection and not 4G?
Running synergy hotspot nightly from last tuesday when I downloaded it, I was able to enable and connect my laptop to the interwebs during a tigertrap session today. Seems to be working fine. What settings are you using in the hotspot app?

are you using 4G signal with your hotspot tethering?
i am using nightly synergy rom with hotspot unlocked.
i believe i am using 4G signal while tethering, but it looks like its only using 3G, does your 4G icon in your notification bar appear?
I wouldnt call it "FREE", but you now have the option to use it without paying for it...

The 4G doesn't work with the hotspot unless it is through USB. I believe I read that somewhere around here...

In case a few of you are still looking for this. I'm using Wifi Tether 3.1-beta5 (included in SteelROM v2.02) and the 4G tether works great! Just make sure that you change the Device-Profile to "HTC Evo 3D" and enable the Routing Fix and it works great. Haven't tried barnacle but there may be similar config needed there as well.
I also asked SteelH about the Sprint Hotspot Hack and 4G here you can read his response but in short no the Sprint hotspot hack does not currently work on 4G. Hope that helps!
Barnacle works for me
I am running the stock rom with root and Barnacle works fine for me I used it for an hour yesterday with no problem. I have to go into town to get 4G so haven't tested it with 4G yet.
My sprint moble hotspot says that I don't have a plan that supports wifi teathering though if I try and use the sprint app.
For those of you saying its not working and have Droid wall installed, make sure the proper apps are white listed.

wifi tether help
Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
I just came across a free WiFi tethering application called FoxFi, which is available from the Android Market. This enabled WiFi tethering for non-rooted phones. Version 1.31 is still a beta, and I've only downloaded it a few minutes ago. But I am connected via my phone right now and it seems to work.

I just installed this app this morning and tested it out for about 5 mins and it worked great!
Anybody know how this will appear on AT&T's system? Easily figured out by the carrier?

I have yet to contact the developer, but on SGN, all it appears to do is modify your stock wifi sharing settings. I'll try on a razr maxx tomorrow and see if it's the same.
edit: appears to be same on the moto bionic. Double check under settings, wireless, mobile hotspot settings.
Not saying it shouldn't work as intended, but the fact that it shows up in the stock hotspot is slightly alarming.
Works great on samsung stratosphere all the other tether apps didn't work for me so this one is doing something different

I added foxfi and turned on wifi hotspot and it isn't showing up on my devices. When I turn on mobile hotspot it wants me to pay Verizon 30 extra to activate. How are you guys getting around this?

Works great for me too. But I am concerned about my bill. Haven't got any prompts to pay yet.

You shouldn't have to explicitly turn on WiFi. I think that's why you're getting the Verizon notice. Once you start FoxFi, everything is configured in that application.
I did have a problem where it - FoxFi - seemed to keep background sync turned on. But, I also had some other things going on with my phone at that moment, so I can't say for sure if it was FoxFi that was doing it. I'll try it again later to see if I can determine what was going on.
Sometimes you have to reboot the phone after installing/configuring the app the first time.
Always open the FoxFi app for configuring or toggling the app on and off.
When you turn off tethering you may have to toggle wifi on again since it turns off wifi.
When the Green Tethering Icon shows up in the notification bar, don't open it or select anything from there.
I have it on two Razr's working fine.
Great app works great on my razr but just doesn't work on the thunderbolt
finally
So far this app works better than the phone 's app and the android wifi tether app.
doesn't work on my rooted stock Asia ROM (latest update), whereas the Android Wifi Tether beta works well. I can connect momentarily, but the connecting device never receives an IP address. not sure exactly what's going on.

Ive had that same problem with android wifi tether. It would connect and process. But after 50 megs process it dies out. And no connection. Ive played with dns settings and channels and nothing to get consistant tethering till now. With foxfi that is. Sux its not working for you. The only thing i can suggest is try different versions of the wifi tether app. Before the first 2 updates on the US razr. I was using an older version of android wifi tether that worked smoothly. You just gotta try to find the one that works for you

Love this App, Works great!!!
This app works perfectly on my CDMA RAZR and my wifes RAZR MAXX. Been using it for a few days. Successfully tethered a PS3, B&N Nook Color, all of our Mac Computers. The only confusing point with this one was that you cannot shut down the hotspot from the notification pulldown area. You have to open the app back up and uncheck the box for enabling / disabling the hotspot. Not sure how this works for getting around the included hotspot app but if it works I guess I don't care. Two big thumbs up for this app!
just downloaded and hook my pc up and now im posting from my pc using my razr wifi tehetr on this foxfi app so sweet...thanks for share!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry my english bye....
Just installed in on my Razr Maxx and it's working beautifully!
Let me know if you get billed for this... not sayin you will but more for peace of mind.

Works on my Razor Maxx. Connected on my Xoom. With FoxFi I Might turn data off on my xoom and concentrate on my razor's data usage.
Can Verizon track the data usage?? I Don't have the unlimitied data usage.
Verified working on my Razr Maxx. Got a 7mbps down speed on a mediocre 4G signal on my Iconia tablet.
Ya about the people with HTC phones
"Message from team: some user recommended FoxFi in a popular deal website and the whole world come to install it. While this is awesome we have a hard time keeping up with our support emails. We are aware of some most reported issues: the Motorola Triumph crash will be fixed in our next update. Atrix 2/4G are not supported yet and we are looking into it. HTC phones users can only use Bluetooth mode. A WiFi hotspot lock exists in HTC Android that can not be bypassed and we are truly sorry."
Just notice that in the what's new section of the market place.
Hey so I have an Amaze 4G running AndroidRevolution HD and previously stock ICS leak. On both of those ROMs, whenever I try to tether WiFi, barnacle doesn't do anything at all. However, when I use the t-mo one it works (but wants me to pay for it). Is there something im doing wrong?
Thanks!
