Sorry if this is a repeat but I am kinda new to all this. I just rooted my phone and installed ICS from CM9. If that's nit the right way to word it my bad. The only problem I'm having is I can't tether via USB anymore. My computer recognizes my phone but doesn't connect. I even tried to tether using pdanet and that didn't work either. Wifi tether works fine. Please help it would be much appreciated.

That's an Epic 4G Touch. You're in the forums for the GT-I9100. Totally different models...

Though, it's worth asking: where did you get the CM9 that you installed? If you installed CM9 meant for an i9100, instead of one meant for an SPH-D710, that could be the source of your issue.

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.
Thanks
Hitch
Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.
It may work with that version...

No need to delete your question, it's certainly valid. Looks like the thread's been moved, so you're in the clear

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.
The good news is 96 people have read the post, the bad news is not one person posted any ideas, This usually happens when you cannot post in the rooted section.
Still hoping someone has some ideas to help out.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

can't he just download opengarden tether or barnicle tether from market or am I missing something?

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.
Just curious as to what everyone uses to tether over wifi? I tried barnacle but my tablet won't find the network, barnacle works fine on my attic but not the S2. Any particular reason?

I just use whats already included in UnNamed (same as stock) for wifi/usb tethering.

Its honestly about how much data you end up using, if you go crazy and start using 50gb then they will want to switch you.
They give warnings before they do anything and they are starting to throttle people after a certain point.
You can try this for USB Tethering - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424676
He claims to found a way to hide it but they still know how much data you use.
Basically, don't use a desktop browser. It's one of the #1 ways to get the tether police on your ass. People are getting nastygrams after only using the "desktop useragent" feature of Dolphin HD 2-3 times.
Otherwise, native tethering (remove TetheringManager2.apk if on a stock ROM) works best. Only one that isn't adhoc.
OK. So I was in iHell for a few years and got pretty good with the file system/ jailbreaking. So I've since been paroled (from Jail-breaking :l ) and PRESTO!!! Im a noob again.
Im still debating on flashing but im gonna root for sure. I need to check my facts here. I can root via any mentioned method. I'll need to install titanium (?) to freeze that network check to use the native hotspots. (The name of that file escapes me but I can search it up later)
Anything else for now? Is busybox worth it?
On a semi-related note, I've not had multiple ROMs available to me. What's the benifit to other Roms? I mean what does CM have that stock doesn't? Is there a break down or spread sheet to compare capabilities?
This may sound goofy, but I can already do everything that I wanted my old iPhone to do on stock, but if flashing will bring more, cooler, and
as yet unimagined toys to my newly Android enriched life, I'm all about flashing. What say you XDA?
Sorry for the long post. Caffeine makes me type a lot.

Well follow the guide inn general about how to flash custom binaries, it'll help. Also, most rooms take care of the tetheringmanager2.apk sup you don't need to do anything else, it works out of the box. Make sure to use a mobile user agent while browsing, and you should be fine.
As a starting point, I suggest unnamed or icscrewed (both roms I've personally tried and that both are great)
The most common side effect of having a custom ROM is the desire to show it off, awesome battery life, good support and limitless customization. Just read before you do anything and you'll be golden.

I am about done with OpenGarden. Works flawlessly at times, then randomly disconnects me ever after still saying I'm connected. I am wanting to know what the best and most reliable wired tethering app is out there?

Switch to thunderstick and it works perfect

The stock Mobile Hotspot app works just fine.
I do not want to switch roms....everything is working great for me on Liquid 3.2.
Stock mobile hotspot will want you to pay if you use it won't it?
Go to clockworkmod.com and check out kush's wired tether app. It's supposed to be really good, and you don't even need root.

This is the one I was excited about when I first learned about it weeks ago, but it does nothing on my pc....I click ok or start or whatever it is and nothing works........
Yeah that new kush wired tether is garbage just like pdanet and klink. You have to install stuff on every pc you wanna use it on. Ohhhhh wired tether in the description through me off. I suggest scrapping liquid 3.2. It has a couple bugs that they aren't concerned with and has been totally abandoned. Open Garden is the best WiFi tether out there. Try channel 5 and 6 with ThunderShed 1.5. Never had a problem. Was using it today. I recommend wired-tether 1.4 from code.google. So much faster than WiFi. And I loved liquid 3.2 but too many bugs with tethering and a few other must haves.
Good luck.

I was wondering if anyone that has 4.0 can let me know if the app works. There's problems trying to use it on 2.3 on the Rezound at the moment.
I'll be getting the Nexus 7 and I'd like to use my phones 4G over WiFi when I'm out and about.

I'm not sure if FoxFi works, but there is a modified Wifi-Tether that works.
A lot of ICS ROMs have it preinstalled.
If not, it's somewhere around these forums.
(It requires root, though.)
WiFi tether works perfect on nils and one xxx.

Does FoxFi have any advantage over WiFi Tether or vice versa? I know one is rooted vs non-rooted but is that the only difference? I assume there has to be advantages with rooted tether.

I think rooted tether gives u more options like access control.
However, foxfi also has bluetooth tether, although i think that only works on some devices.

Hello,
I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to fix my Atrix 4G (AT&T).
I Rooted > Unlocked my Atrix and installed the Touch version of CWM and flashed CM9 and it all seemed perfect.
However it seems all the WiFi drivers are gone.
Trying to turn on WiFi simply makes my Atrix reboot. Trying to use some WiFi tethering tools give back a 'no Wpa supplicant' error.
The phone works perfectly except for the fact it has zero WiFi capability now.
I flashed other ROMs like MIUI, and AOKP to no avail, same issue, no wifi.
I flashed the Stock ATT ROM via a fruitcake thinking it will 'reinstall' my wifi drivers but i was mistaken.
Anyone have any ideas how to get WiFi drivers installed again? Why wouldnt the ROMs have that already?
Bit confused and would appreciate any help.

Bluetooth also doesnt work and causes a reboot too if I attempt to turn it on.
In that case, your wifi/bt chip is likely burnt. Sorry.
There's no fix, this is a hardware problem.
