My wifi tethering is not working on rooted razr but stock Asia ROM. It lets me configure the settings but internet does not work on other devices when connected to my razr 3g. I can only use internet on my phone but cant share it thru mobile wifi hotspot.

Same here. UK razr .
devices connect to razr's WiFi but no internet.
I have tried stock and apps from the market, no result.
same here on asian stock rom too. usb tethering and wifi hotspot both don't work.
Have any of you guys tried connecting leaving tethering open. Dont put a wpa password. Leave wifi open. I found out if you put a passcode ur other device may not connect properly. Give it a try

I already posted a temporary solution for the tethering problem. The solution needs need 'root'.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435619
Funny thing was, I able the USB tether several week ago, for testing the tether after OTA update. It ran fine, for the first time. Last night I did Wifi tethering with my Asus Transformer TF101, but, not successful. Just now, I did the USB tethering again, but, not good.
I hope not need to use 'root' again, but,... Motorola should check and resolve tis problem in next OTA update.
Thank you.

I just got a LG thrive, Im using my post-paid sim card from a Inspire 4G in it. Im trying to get the wifi tether working. I tried using quick setting but it crashes the phone. I tried using the hot spot widget but it also crashes the phone. I also tried using a modified apn from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980591 it worked on my Inspire 4G, but it either says "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of mobile hotspots" or " Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device go to att.com/mywireless" I have been searching and trying to figure out this problem all afternoon. On th stores demo thrive I was able to get it working after two minutes and only one crash. I have already installed pdanet, not sure how well it works on this phone since I have yet to test it, but i would really like to get the wifi tether working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone has to know something...

Anyone working on getting it to work for LG-P506 (LG Thrive)? Or know of any methods to get it to act as a wireless hotspot? I've tried Quick Settings and it restarts the phone but haven't tried Easy Tether yet because I don't even know if it enables shared WiFi and uses a USB connection to share it.
I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in. I haven't actually used the app yet because I usually use my iPad or galaxy and rarely use the laptop anymore. But it did work with the backflip and that phone is big time locked down.
USB tethering: Authentication was unsuccessful
I have the same problem. LG thrive says:
Authentication was unsuccessful
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enblement of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later.
and it is the same error for USB tethering or portable Wifi hotspot
Have anybody solved this? Any sugestions?

Is there a Wifi tether version that works on the x2? I'm rooted of course & supercharged & need something that isn't just ad-hoc. Already tried barnacle & the native app with phone toggle and so far its a bust. Is qpst an option?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
I'm in the same boat, I used QSPT to get the dun out of my tethering app, but it kept getting replaced.

Sorry just read entire post
Yeah, that makes an ad-hoc network. Is there an option for infrastructure?
This version of wifi-tether works for my win7 nwtbook but not my vista laptop. What do I need to do for the qpst method? Did it in my fascinate by going in with dun enabled. Can't seem to find how to enable it in the x2.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
As it stands the QPST don't work. as soon as you reboot it overwrites the change.
I use barnacle with no issue, rooted with v6.

The problem is barnacle make ad-hoc also.
really? no wifi-hotspot for us yet?
I see the VZW application on my phone, haven't tried it yet though, didn't sign up for it. I wonder do they just charge me for it if I was to use it? Or would they call me up & scold me first?

They wont scold you for trying it. But it won't work unless you sign up for the additional service which costs $25 or $29 per month (can't remember which).
Is there no root app that allows us to use the Droid X2 as a wifi tether without the extra monthly charge? I keep seeing references to others who say they are doing this, but no one seems to want to say exactly what app they are using.

Bump. I wish I understood why some phones can do infrastructure and others not.

Actually I just tried it and I can connect to the internet with my W7 laptop with that ad-hoc tether program running on my Droid X2. I'm sending this reply over that connection.
I guess, as implied earlier in the thread, W7 makes provisions for ad-hoc. Don't know about other versions of Windows. My Samsung Galaxy Tab cannot see the connection.
still looking for a hotspot instead of ad-hoc wireless tether though, got multiple wi-fi devices that I may want to connect...
I am interested in the infrastructure Wifi as well. I am attempting to connect a Color Nook to the DX2 and can't get it to recognize the ad-hoc network.
for the NC, you have to dload an adhoc wifi supplicant file. then you have to replace the existing wifi supplicant file w/ it and then reboot. your NC should now be able to see and connect to ad hoc networks.
google is your friend.

FWIW The Wifi Teather program works with the new 2nd Generation B&W nook (at least since firmware update 1.0.1 - don't know if it worked before). So now the ad-hoc wifi teather works with my laptop running Win7 and my completely stock nook. I'm happy
im assuming there is no solution yet. im still using the ad-hoc method for now. but i would love to see a true hotspot
I don't know why people don't understand that you specifically said infrastructure vs ad hoc. You can use the phone for infrastructure for free.
First use the hotspot app and wait for it to start up.
Hook up your computer and open your browser
when it takes you to verizons website, all is good.
go to your phones dialer and type in *#*#INFO#*#* or *#*#4636
select phone info
go down almost to the bottom and you will see a button that says "turn off radio"
Press this and wait 10 seconds and press it again to turn it back on.
Now when it regains 3g signal you should have internet access on your computer.
You may have to redo this a few times for it to work. It works for me 75% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't work but most of the time it does.
Good luck
I've been trying to get my Epic 4G Touch running the wifi tether app 3.1-beta6 (only version I am aware works for my phone) but the View can't see the wifi connection. Perhaps something to do with the way wifi tether is running? Ad-Hoc mode? Anybody know of a work around?
I am running Wifi Tether v3.1 beta 2 on my Droid Charge with no issues. I currently have mine set to the Samsung Fascinate for the device. You could maybe try changing the device to see if that does anything. I know I was having issues connecting one day and I just had to uninstall and reinstall the app and it started working fine again.
Which type of wifi connection your phone presents is device dependent. Some can do infrastructure which will work, others can only do ad-hoc , which the Flyer and most android devices will not see without a modified wifi supplicant file. If your phone tether cannot be seen on your Flyer you need to install the wifi supplicant mentioned in other answers in the forum, do a search for supplicant . That is the only way to fix this, and you must be rooted.
I use Wireless Tether app on my rooted Droid X and the view sees it just fine. Connects without any issues.

I run WIFI Tether v3.1-beta7 on my EVO 3D with no issues at all, View connects without hesitation. There are some settings that need to be set, though I don't know if this applies to all devices. I had to enable MSS clamping and Routing fix.

I'm quoting DigitalMD because it appears this information may need to be repeated. I'm fairly certain that most Samsung devices are limited to ad-hoc only and that makes all the difference.
I'm downloading the wifi ad hoc enabler now to try this out...
I have a rooted Nexus S 4g on ICS- and wifitether works fine for my ipad2... but the HTC View doesn't even see the signal. Is this a carrier issue with the View, an HTC specific thing? I'm surprised the iPad had no issue as I've had plenty of public wifi connection issues...
Just trying to understanding the issues at play better here.

So I installed the latest 3.1-beta 11 to my Nexus S4g to try this before I go to other lengths to get the view to see it... but I don't see a MSS clamping options- only routing fix. I'm also trying device profile set to Evo 4g since that's what you had... still nothing...
Does it have anything to do with being on ICS on my Nexus? If you're doing adhoc from your evo (assuming...) why would the view not see ad hoc in my case?

Right, but to do that, i need the View to be rooted correct? The point i was trying to make was it seemed like some people got this to work without needing to do that...unless i misunderstood...
EDIT: The following worked for me- Fox Fi on the phone, "PDA NET for Tablet" application for the View. activate both... No settings to be changed, nothing needs root permission.
nexus S4g phone with ICS rooted codename ROM and stock HC HTCView. Tethered great.
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

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.
My apologies if this is the wrong area to post. I'm not sure where else to look but Google has not helpful. I have a Droid Razr running rooted 2.3.6 verizon version 6.12.173. I rooted using motofail, quick and simple root. Issue is I cant use wifi tether. I've tried 3 different programs and when I try to connect my computers to the wifi, I'm unable to pull an ip, on my ipad, a friends iphone, my mac book, my win 7 laptop and my win 7 desktop with a wireless usb adapter. Same on all 3 programs, using authentication or not. Good ole 169 ip.. cant get out. HOWEVER if I connect my ipad via bluetooth to my Razr I can surf. Not using the Bluetooth option in the wifi tether apps, but tuning on bluetooth on my phone and my ipad, pairing then connecting and then I'm able to surf. I mean thats cool and all, but its slow, real slow, extremely slow. How can I get my wifi tether to work? Any suggestions? Thanks
