I am trying to get Barnacle or Wifi Tether to work on my LGOG. My laptop will recognize it but it cannot connect to either one. I have previously used my Motorola Atrix 4G to tether with the laptop without any problems so I think the issue is with the phone.
Has anyone been able to get this working with either these or some other tether? I am stock and rooted.
Thanks
You could give this a try, it is cwm tether. It claims to hide your tethering, so att won't hassle you.

Wifi tether works. You have to change device profile to SGS3.
Can't take credit...found in the regular Optimus G section
Well, I couldn't find the clockworkmod tether to download but Wifi Tether did work as an SGS3. I tried Barnacle set as a Samsung device but it didn't work.
But with Wifi Tether I am set. Thanks,

Using barnacle? Anyone know how it never works...
Just install Barnacle wifi tether, turn on 3g, click start on barnacle then you should be able to search and connect to 'barnacle' with your laptop/other device.
You MUST HAVE root for this to work.
Is it a known Issue with CM7 - 0713 that Wifi hotspot is not working? Devices can connect to it, but can not get an internet connection
Try Barnacle. I had issues with WiFi Tether, but Barnacle worked right out of the box. Just the opposite of my experience on TW.
Yea, barnacle doesn't work either. I am specifically looking for the built in hotspot for Access Point mode.
Barnacle works flawlessly, try disabling the wpa supplicant setting

If you know how to get CM7 into Modem mode, I can give you instructions on how to get the built it Hotspot app to work. I'm currently running MIUI (which is based off of CM7) and am having the same issue. The problem is that you need to get the phone into Modem mode in order to connect your phone to QPST to change a setting that will unlock the Hotspot app.
Does anybody know how to get a Fascinate running CM7/MIUI into Modem mode?
Well, after trying to tether an ASUS Transformer, I see your point. Barnacle does ad hoc rather than AP, so it won't work.
Bump. Also experiencing this problem with MIUI. Has anyone ever come up with a solution?
I have a fascinate, rooted with Cyanoganmod that I've been using as a wifi hotspot for some time. I have a Dell laptop that I connected with it regularly. For some reason, when I try to use my new Gtab, the ad-hoc wifi doesn't show up. It does for other devices but not the Gtab. I have that rooted with Gtabcomb and tried a friends Gtab with Gtabcomb..same issue. Could it be Gtabcomb not allowing me to attach to ad-hoc wireless networks? I did try a fix someone posted up here for Barnacle but that didn't work.
Thanks,
Did you try entering the ad-hoc info manually? I had to do that on my tab running VegaN 5.1 because it wouldn't "find" the ad-hoc network. Once I added it manually it connected right up.

weird. i can tether via barnacle with no problems from my facinate to my gtab with no issues.
No I tried setting it manually but I get "not in range". Tried darn near every setting I can think of in Barnacle an another wifi app to no avail. UGH!!!
brad08stanggt, what ROM are you using?
I was using barnacle wifi tether just fine before the update. now, post OTA update, and re-root, barnacle doesn't work.
It doesn't complain that it can't work. It just doesn't show any wireless available like it used to. Even trying to connect to a hidden hotspot doesn't work.
I've spent a while this evening googling and searching here, but I've not turned up anything.
I've also tried android-wifi-tether. same symptom. looks like it's working, no SSID broadcast, no hidden hotspot connection.

Have you tried reinstalling it, or PDAnet from market. That's a nice tethering app too.
Does anyone know of a working WiFi tether app for stock rooted?
I have tethering working with built in but it doesn't go through my VPN program.
I have tried using hotspot shield and with that enabled all data through built in hotspot program fails to load anything.
I used to use WiFi tether for root users with my HTC amazed and hotspot shield and that worked but not with this device since I have had it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
