Been searching for it for a while and found many that where working but none that worked for more than 15 seconds then crashed, got this one now, and it works great. Been testing it for the last hour, and even using right now as i type this. It is attached to the attachment, download and install the APK. Enjoy guys
NO CREDIT GOES TO ME, IT ALL GOES TO THE CREATOR OF wifitether*pre3.apk
Credit GOES TO skullkandy
No link displayed (for me), and this was discovered a couple days ago with the wifitether*pre3.apk (would give credit to who discovered it, but on my phone, too lazy to search back, and retype this)
EDIT: got unlazy for a second. Credit was for skullkandy

added to the root thread post, thanks for the info bro.
This has worked consistently for me since install.
It also seems to not need any sort of special install procedure, you can just drop the apk and install from astro or whatever file manager you use.
works perfectly posting this reply using the connection dowload 1.76mb/s upload 1.23mb/s
Wifi tether
You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!
her does anyone know if wifi tether can tether to android phones? I heard that the EVO can do it I really need this on my slide.

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

I thought so too until I tried it with my G1.. something about adhoc modem won't allow android to android connection. I'm so jealous I wish I had an evo now.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.
Causes reboot on my Slide running CM Nightlies... (8/12/2010) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Need to check the log but it is consistent, does the same thing with AdFree.

Same thing using CM-RC1 (8/15/2010). Dang, was hopeful this would be a quick fix.
You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Not sure if its compatibility with Froyo since (technically speaking) Froyo is suppose to have built-in Hotspot support.

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)
I've Googled a bit and unfortunately, am seeing that so far, the Rezound can only perform wifi tethering in ad-hoc mode, not infrastructure mode. Has there been any updates on if it can ever be possible? My device is rooted and the bootloader unlocked. Would flashing a certain rom or kernel make it possible?
Or would my only hope be to pay for the official hotspot feature by Verizon? Its a shame my Droid Charge was able to do this but not the Rezound. Oh, "fragmentation".
not 100% sure what rules are here concerning links to other sites so ill take the link down immediately if its not ok, but this thread on ppcgeeks looks promising:

When I do that no data seems to be transferring and my computer doesn't find the hotspot. I can't figure it out.
Edit: Ive been trying it on beta 11 on GB roms. Do I need to do it on ICS? I read in another thread that that may be the problem. Just thought I would get some more opinions.
So far only in ics will it work properly

Ive used wireless tether 2.07 fine on my rezound with it rooted... however now that I have ICS i cant get wifi tether to work. Its saying that my computer is connected but my web pages arent loading... wtf?
I'm having the same problem. Worked fine with gingerbread. I switched to CleanRom 2.1 and now I can't tether my kindle.
Did you both install the latest tether beta 11 abd follow Pwned's directions above? I'm on Senseless 2.0 ICS and it works perfectly for me.
I'm on CleanRom 2.1 and wireless tether in AP mode works perfect.
I'm getting random reboots using beta 11. It'll work for 10 min then bam a reboot.

For a kindle you can download an app called zt-180 adhoc switcher. That will allow you to tether in adhoc mode. Just be sure you leave the network named AndroidTether

I have zt-180 installed. That's how I got it working with gingerbread. The Android Tether network shows up but the Kindle just won't connect.
Hmm I'm puzzled then. You changed the profile to galaxy nexus? And enabled routing fix on Wi-Fi tether beta 11? And are on one of the ics roms?

I'm running CleanROM 2.1 and even tho it the EXACT same version (3.whatever beta 11) came installed, it never worked until I uninstalled and reinstalled using a downloaded apk then changed the aforementioned settings.

just tried the new beta version that scrosler included in cleanrom 2.1 and it works. Changing the settings as above, my stock kindle fire sees it (no encryption). Speed tests were very good (15 down, 7-10up).
Hey, I've been meaning to post this for the Dev's to look at in this section. I have tried several ICS roms and I am noticing a universal issue... The wifi tethering feature doesn't seem to work. I was hoping that, since this is up in the dev section, that someone can take a look at the issue and see if there is a fix that can be incorporated. I am running clean rom 2.0 right now and I can get the Wifi Tether working if I activate wifi THEN activate the tether, but if I just do the tether, it goes to error. I used the Kernel that comes along with the Rom so I am not sure. If someone has it working perfectly fine, please don't post "It works fine for me", maybe tell us what you did to get it fixed, or a Rom that you found works best with it.
Thanks guys!

That's not the normal behavior. Scott even mentions in his ROM release notes that tethering should be setup using the Galaxy Nexus device profile with routing fix enabled and that's all. Are you using wifi tether 3.1-beta 11? If you aren't ... try upgrading. Also, try to keep in mind that there have been improvements to the ROM since 2.0 so you may also want to think about upgrading to 2.3.
Actually, I've been using the Verizon wifi hotspot lol.... Epic fail on my side?
ON STOCK, UNLOCKED, ROOTED REZOUND... HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO GET any type of wireless tether to.work... I have tried barnacle, never starts up, and wireless and wifi tether and.both get same issue, unable to load wifi driver, interface, set channel.. read.online that one of these.should of worked but apparently not.

These instructions should work. Just be sure that for #1, you scroll down to the SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS (4G_LTE). For some reason, I chose the Google NexusOne (I saw the word nexus and thought it was the right one) at the top of the list and didnt realize that was the wrong one. Once I fixed that, everything worked like a charm! Hope this helps.

now is this for being on a ROM or will it work on stock unlocked as well...
Edit: i finally got it to turn on with no errors, will be testing on my PC when i get home
Now when i go to use it with my PC its just like any wifi connection right? I refreshed the available networks on my.PC and it would.not find it at all.. am i missing something
Is it a windows PC that you are trying to attach to it? Does the tether start up with any errors in the log?
You should be able to see it just like any other router in your list of available networks.
Edit: Just noticed you said it started with no errors. Hmm.
It should just show up in your available networks.
Try manually creating a connection to your ssid (forgot the exact steps to do this, but its somewhere in network settings).
Also, try changing the setup method to the other available methods (ad-hoc, netd)

I am running ICS 3.5 from Scotts, I can not get Tethering to work. I have tried everything listed. I have tried several ICS Roms and it hasnt worked on any of them. The only time it worked for me was right after I unlocked and rooted on the oem rom with barnacle. Since then it has not worked at all. Wifi isnt working either in ICS 3.5 for me. It is stuck on "turning on". Easytether (USB) is working like a charm though. However I would really like wireless tether. I am coming over to the rezound because i lost my thunderbolt. I want to make sure this phone will do all that my rooted Tbolt would before my 14 days are up... that phone was .. OMG AWSOME. If I cant get it to match up to my old Tbolt in useability, I will go back to another Tbolt.
I am thinking that tomorrow I may try learning how to deal with mainver issues and stepping down to RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed
Seeing if I can get it working on that, make a backup, then go clean back to an ICS build.
Any suggestions?

srivkin's instructions should work. Be sure to follow them to the T. Also, have you tried different versions of the tether app?
I thought that encryption didn't work with the tether app.
I relocked and reverted back to that RUU I mentioned in the above post this morning, after running the mainver fix. I unlocked, reflashed ra recovery, rooted, uninstalled some VZW bloat and the vzw tether blocker. installed wifi tether and it still wouldnt work, installed barnacle and it works...but it is so slow it is useless really. Easytether still works great. I already miss ICS. I will re-port a clean ICS onto it later this afternoon after ive had time to build out this base one and back up an image of it. I will repost with any progress.
BTW, I tried all of the settings you guys have mentioned and it just isnt hitting it for me, not sure whats up with that, but I will know more maybe after I put ICS back on clean and try it out.

i think i may have found the problem, but not sure. i tried setting up my WIFI on my phone, but when i go to turn it on, i get an "error" that appears right under the wifi check box. anyone know how i can fix this?
Edit: would i be able to do a factory reset to see if it fixes the WIFI issue, i am on stock rooted with amonra, or would i have to do a wipe thru amonra?
ok i finally made the jump to scotts ics rom and everything is working fine... thank you guys for all your information
For those interested in using an alternative tether the Android WiFi tether project has posted a new beta.
This has access control by MAC address and shows speed & data transmitted/rec'd.
Up until this release I couldn't find any 3rd party tether apps that worked with ICS.
This just has a lot more control that the stock tether.
I've confirmed it works with SHOstock2 which is XWLP7
Get it here from my dropbox.... (this is a free app)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40674225/tether/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta12.apk
or the website.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
From what I can tell, the app offers no protection from the provider detecting that you are tethering. Since I have received the text, email, and letter to c&d, this is an important issue to me.
i'm running ICS LD3 build on my i777 and whenever i click "Press to start tethering" it reboots my device
any thoughts?
