HI i bought Samsung Galaxy S from Tmobile today
anyway my question is about WIFI TETHER, i have root it i think coz i see SUPERUSER PERMISSION
then i install wifi tether then this is what happen. I CLICK WIRELESE TETHERING it show running but then i could not get my laptop to work or connected
and it show download 0.0KBPS all the time
how can i fix this and make my WIFI TETHER WORKS
please help
im running 2.0.5-pre7 on my Vibrant. Seems to work perfect.
What version are you running?
Also, be sure that your laptop can use "AD-HOC" networks as the tether app sets the phone up that way.
I know that my Nook can not use adhoc - therefor cant even see the tether network.
I would seriously recommend getting rid of WT or Barnacle (big fan of both) and use the tether app that was on the international galaxy that was removed from the carriers.... here is where I found it. It is truly a lot better!

Take note, this is not an app in your drawer, its in your settings (first post explains it). I dont think you will have ANY issues with it.
you have to be rooted to use it.
I just rooted and couldnt get Barnacle or the other Wifi tether app to work. After some googling I saw that there's an issue with the Vibrant and tethering. Any known working wifi tether apps working? If not, what can I do? Install a custom ROM?
Mobile AP works just fine for me
Im using the standard ROM and don't see the mobile AP option. In the market I just see a mobile AP shortcut that doesnt do anything but warn me it doesnt work on my phone.
By "standard rom" I take it you mean TouchMyWiz, but what version are you running?
I'm pretty sure this will work for you no matter which 2.1 rom you are using.
Mobile AP App Fixed to Work on Samsung Vibrant
i've been running barnacle tether for the past week to run my ipod with little to no issues as long as i have a decent 3g signal on my phone.
I was having this issue with Wireless Tether for Root Users whenever I tried downloading form the market or any repository.
I ended up downloading the apk for the Facinate from the android-wifi-tether google code page and after a couple tries it worked fine for me on Obsidian V4.2.
I've had my GT since it launched and I'd have to say I'm really enjoying it. But with only having the 16GB WiFi version, I've felt the need to tether to my phone, but for some reason, while broadcasting, the device isn't recognized on my tab.
My phone I'm running Wireless Tether on my Fascinated running SC 2.9.2, and my Tab is completely stock with the touchwiz update.
I don't have any issues tethering any of my computers to my phone, but just not sure why the tab wont recognize the network.
Any ideas?

Does Wireless Tether provide an actual AP or is it adhoc mode?
Android's built-in tethering support does provide actual AP mode, at least on the Infuse 4G.
All the tether apps in the market are ad hoc. There are 2 fixes. Custom rom on phone, or root the gtab and install the supplicant patch you can find in the forums.
My wife runs the built in hotspot with the acs swiss cheese rom and it works fine on her stock gtab 10.1.

Tethering my Tablet to my Fascinate phone works perfectly out of the box, first try:
No special settings or configs for me!
I am using "3.0-pre11 experimental" version, apk grabbed from here:

Settings:
Device-Profile: Auto
Set-up Method: Auto
Enable Wifi Encryption: Checked
Passphrase: 13-digits string (no more, no less)
SSID: Changed to "myAndroid" (use whatever you want)
Channel: 01 (2412 MHz)
Enable Access Control: Unchecked
(everything else, unchanged)

I'm using native Android tethering on my phone and it works great with the Tab.
On AT&T phones, you need to remove tethermanager.apk - it's bigbrotherware that disables tethering if you're not on a tethering plan. Don't know what the Verizon equivalent is.
Basically all "cooked" ROMs remove this as one of their first orders of business, at least for AT&T phones.
I have an un-rooted DroidX and after I paired it with my Galaxy tab, I noticed an option to Connect to device Internet Access. It works great for getting to the Market and web browsing. Some programs don't recognize the connection as a "wi-fi" connection however, programs like Google Music and Plex. But NetFlix does!
I tether my Samsung Vibrant to my galaxy tab 10.1 using the pdanet tablet version. You need to download this same tablet version both on your phone and the tab. It works flawlessly for me and I didn't need to download any other apks from unknown sources.. Try using the App and tell me how it worked!

@Mitchmoney - Does that require rooting the Vibrant?

I had to edit my wpa_supplicant file on my Tab 10.1 to get tethering working off my Sony Ericsson X10. I think I still have the modified file floating around, do you want it?
mien works fine, i just used the standard wireless access point app on the phoneq
Thanks markp99, it looks like my outdated wireless tethering app on my phone was the culprit. After upgrading to the version you posted, the Tab saw the network without a problem and it connected and worked great.
Thanks!
Nope, both my vibrant and my tab are both stock! Make sure you download that same pdanet tether app on both devices for it to work if you want to try it out!

Stock ROMs in the US typically have "bigbrotherware" that disables native tethering and frequently reports third-party tethering apps. This is how AT&T can nail iPhone tetherers within minutes of their first tether but they still haven't sent me a nastygram.
Native tethering on a debloated/decrippled ROM is the way to go, stock carrier ROM is not.
I just got my tab yesterday and have a rooted epic with the wireless tether from the market. I cant get mine to recognize the hot spot either. Still researching

Does anyone have a working hack, tweak, mod, or app for the Galaxy S2 without paying for the tethering feature from the carrier. Something that does not require root will be preferred but rooting is an option i'll take if necessary

PDANet
Not sure if it works on GSII or not.....
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether from Market... but you need Root for this...
Sent from my GT-I9100, using Oxygen (2.3.7 Gingerbread)
PDA Net does work on the SGSII without root, I'm using it right now.
is PDAnet fairly quick? I used it awhile back on an iphone 3gs but mywi was always quicker so I stopped using pdanet
I did the same thing on my iPhone 4. However, I was told PDANET is more secure than MyWi. Supposedly it's easier for AT&T to track that you are tethering without a policy when using MyWi. Of course that doesn't matter anymore now that we are on Android devices.
PDANet is pretty decent. I just did a speed test through my browser and it got 7mbps.
Edit, just did a speed test on the phone. Also got 7mbps, so PDANet is full speed from the phone to the PC.
Is there a Rom I can install which will have me do FREE tethering
without Att finding out
or another easy way Free Tethering
Please
Sometime within this last week, T-Mobile can see when I use my Hotspot on Chrome on my laptop. I used up the free 5GBs of Hotspot data. But when I use FoxFi on iPad it works. On my laptop/Chrome it pops up the splash screen to add more Hotspot data. I can still tether fine with PDAnet. I have Windows 8.1 if I use the Netflix app the FoxFi WiFi works. But anything in a browser. I have downloaded an extension in chrome as a work-around but does not work that good. So I just tether usb.
Should I try a new rom? If so which one? Anyone having this issue?
S5 4.4.2
Rooted
Project Infinity Rom
Baseband G900TUVU1CNK2
Thanks,
Use a user agent changer plugin and use safari as the plugin for chrome. You shouldn't have the problem anymore. It will make it seem like your using an iPad or a Mac. Works for me.
