Please state what ROM your are on.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
If your phone doesn't already include the option to tether in your settings, download the app from the link above. Once downloaded you're pretty much good to go from there... Sorry for not elaborating more, but I'm typing this on my phone... When I get to a PC in the morning I'll type up something more formal/informal.
Quick question for reference, what rom are you using?
My vibrant has a euphoria.. I thought T-Mobile block tethering...

They blocked tethering through user agent sniffing . Chrome seems to be the only user agent being blocked at the moment . If you use internet explore it will work or you could use "user agent switcher" extension for chrome .

Really? Because I just typed up this post on my PC in Google Chrome (without the "user agent switcher" extension) and I am currently tethered to my Vibrant. I've also tested Internet Explorer, which also works while tethered to my Vibrant... I'm using the app I mentioned above, although the built in wireless tether feature also works for me. Then again, I am using a custom rom, so that could explain why it works for me. Anywho... landrian18, you want to know how to get tether on your device? OK, I'll show you how to do it both on an ICS rom and with the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" app.
On an ICS rom:
Note- I'm not positive this is the same method you would use on euphoria as I'm on a different ICS rom, however, you can still try and see. It should be the same.
1. Go into your phones system settings, this can be accomplished by either locating the settings icon in your app drawer/home screen or by clicking the leftmost physical touch button on your phone.
2. Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS click More....
3. Click Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note 2- Your phone is now acting like a Wi-Fi hotspot and is accessible/detectable by almost all wireless devices except other Android smart phones. If you would like to encrypt your Wi-Fi hotspot click Configure Wi-Fi hotspot and change the password. You can also rename the Wi-Fi hotspot by changing the SSID from AndroidAP (or whatever the default is) to whatever you'd like.
On the app:
Note- These steps are written under the assumption that you have already installed the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" application.
1. Locate and launch the WiFi Tether for Root Users application.
2. Done. That's all you got to do.
Note 2- If you want to customize the SSID, password (remove password), encryption type, etc. Simply go into the apps settings.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I'm on a custom ROM I've been tethering forever but now I get redirected to TMobiles tethering advertisement page . Others have recently complained about this on XDA . It only works of I use user agent switcher .

That's rather intriguing. Especially since the thread you linked me to originated in 2010. I've never had this issue, although I do use Google Chrome. Hmmm... Very interesting indeed. So you get a window from T-Mobile if you tether using Google Chrome and without the switcher extension?

Yes sir . I'm at work right now when I get home I'll post the page I get redirected to without User Agent Switch . I have two Vibrant and both get redirected . Mine is on Chimera and the other is on Euphoria .
I have ics and I use the interface no app needed. Though when I used the together for root I get errors . Strange because when I had gingerbread I used the root tether app with no problems

does the phone charge, tether and receive incoming calls while pluged in usb, during wifi or usb tethering? (I used to tether an evdo device and an incoming call would drop the internet)
2.
supposedly easytether will screw with any future attempts to flash your phone and best avoided, whats the best fully featured free alternative to pdanet for a rooted vibrant to usb tether? + can you confirm wifi tether for root works on device?
3.
If I use firefox on my laptop and get redirected to a tmobile subscription page all I have to do is install this addon on my laptop. even if I get re-directed before installing the addon, installing the addon will solve the issue?

Just a quick question, are you sure you have the vibrant, and not the galaxy s 4g? There is no stock gingerbread on the vibrant...
Side note, I've used easy tether (great alternative to pda net) along with firefox for a few years and have never seen the t mobile warning. Used it on stock and rooted g1 and vibrant with never any issues.
Does an incoming call drop your usb internet connection and does it charge while connected?
Unless I'm wrong the sgh-t959v is a vibrant as observed from the label. I updated via kies to gingerbread rom from mfg that why I called it stock, not a custom rom.
T959v isn't the same as our t959 Vibrants.
Ours didn't have a GB update via Kies. Be careful even using Kies.
-I'm not sure there is much in our Vibrant thread that applies to t959v at all. Is the t959v the Samsung Blaze 4g? I must research this when I have time.
note: don't modify your phone with anything you see here at all until someone with more knowledge chimes in. I think its a bad idea.
T959v is the galaxy s 4g! T959 is the vibrant. The vibrant never got the gingerbread update, galaxy s 4g did.
Easy tether does charge while in use, phone calls I don't know, never tried.

Hello all,
just picked up a fascinate to tinker with while waiting for new phones too arrive . With an easy task in qpst you can tether via verizon mobile hotspot for free. Obtain QPST (don't ask me where to get it)
Install GalaxyS Drivers (they are floating around the forum)
Put phone in modem mode (setting, wireless, enable dial up)
Fire up QPST (youll see windows adding the driver etc blah blah)
Add port (should be USB in there)
Once you see your phone in qpst goto the start clients menu and start service programming.
hit read from phone (password is 000000)
tab over to M.IP, under profile 1 click edit.
Changed tethered NAI to [email protected]
Click write to phone,
phone will reboot, use mobile hotspot
NOTE: I am not responsible for any charges you may get, but you should be fine
EDIT: Please note if you ever reprogram your phone *228, then you need to perform this again.
If rooted can wireless tether app work? Thinking about upgrading soon, but not wanting to pay for something free now.
Sent from my CLEB Froyo Eris
technically this won't require root but yes i am rooted and using verizons app for AP mode instead of wireless tether for root users.
Is there an advantage to doing it this way rather than using wireless tether? Not being critical...just curious.
I didn't look into wifi tether for root much for the fascinate but by default it seems to use ad-hoc mode some may prefer AP mode also this helps those that don't wish to root.
Great point, having a norm connection would be nice. Got so used to ad -hoc. Thank-you for quick reply.

Multiple devices and Infrastructure mode are not the same thing. Certain devices require infrastructure mode to connect, such as the PSP. Even though you can connect multiple devices to the phone through wifi, it still will not let you connect a PSP since the phone is identifying itself as a wifi device, not a wifi access point or router.

As it stands the QPST don't work. as soon as you reboot it overwrites the change.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Simple solution is to just flash a ROM with the entitlement check disabled. Such as any of the newer gingerbread-based ROMS. Or just disable the entitlement check yourself. Get SQLite or another program, it only takes a second or two and following some simple directions. I had to do it once and it was a snap. Good luck, and happy flashing.

this might still not work for him. im using homebase thats suppose to have tethering enabled but it still doesnt work for me in canada on fido network. it looks like it turns on and i can see the network but i cant connect to my laptop or desktop.
Bhayankar-if the phone is unlocked then you can find barnacle online and install it. thats what im currently using.
You could also use the airplane mode + wifi, go I to the market and download barnacle
Ok, I'm going to start out with a trick, on your browser on your PC / MAC download an extension such as "Chrome UA Spoofer" that will change your User Agent. This just lets you look like your PC's a phone and therefore you can use sites without worrying about the pop up T-Mobile uses! You might run into mobile sites, just look at the bottom for the full desktop version
