Hello
I recently flashed this ROM onto my HTC Evo V:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098121
It's been amazing so far, much better than the stock sense ROM. The only problem I am facing is that I am unable to get the wireless hotspot to work correctly. I previously had Harmonia ROM installed and the WiFi tether app that came with it worked just fine. Now on the CyanogenMod ROM I am using the built in hotspot without much luck. All client devices I have tried have been able to connect to the hotspot but are unable to receive any Internet access. My Windows PCs mark the connection as having 'limited access'. I have tested the hotspot with both the 3G and 4G on my phone without any luck.
I'm not sure what to try next, I would really like to have the wireless hotspot working again. Does anyone have any ideas that I could try? Thanks!
Wifi Tether only works on Sense 3.6 Roms.
AOSP and Sense 4/4+ Roms do NOT support WiFi tether.
Eventually the issue will be solved.

Thanks for the reply! I look forward to when I can use the built in tether but until then I actually got it to work using the PdaNet+ app from the market!

Right now I'm on BAMF Sense 3.0 Gingerbread using MR2 radio (MR1 had no service) and every time I hook up USB and hit "Share internet with PC", I drop 3G and 4G and don't even get 1x. It's irritating.
And when I use Wifi Hotspot built in application, I get very very shaky consistency. If the screen turns off, 4G drops. After 10-15 seconds, 4G resets.
One of the primary reasons I traded my iPhone for a Thunderbolt was to bypass the need for a cable modem but I'm having no such luck.
Can anyone recommend a rom that has 100% stability with tethering? I'd prefer Wifi tethering but I'll settle for USB tethering as long as it works as well as it did on any other HTC Android phone I've used.
And yes, I've tried Barnacle and no, I do not like it.
Try Wifi Tether.

I love it and it works fantastic for me.
I just found Wireless Tether and I'm giving it a shot. Aside from tethering issues, BAMF 3.0 is a great rom so I'd hate to move away from it.
I'm surprised Verizon found a way to block Wireless Tether from Market. They sure are getting ahead in their game! So far I haven't had any drops! *knocks wood*
It's funny that some rooted app on market is better at tethering than Verizon's own hotspot feature. You'd think if they want people to pay for it, the least they can do is make their app the best for it.
I always find apps created by independent programmers seem to be the best anyway. The features of Wifi-Tether are awesome too, you can change the SSID, enable encryption, and manually enable or disable devices from connecting to your hotspot. Cant beat all that for functionality.
i use SYNERGY 3.0 latest nighty with the wireless tether app and dont' have your issues. as far as i know, this is the only GB rom that doesn't have this problem. all froyo roms worked perfectly for me. with the stock kernel it came with and mr2 radio.
WiFi Tether for the win. I used it just yesterday to DL a 500mb disc img.
CM7's USB Tethering works great for me.

+1 to that. Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 MR2.5. Using wifi tether. works great. If you cant find the wifi tether on the market, just put your phone in airplane mode and use wifi to connect then go back to market and search wifi tether for root.
I am using this version of WiFi Tether ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta1.apk&can=2&q=
I have found in order to get a stable connection, if you go into Settings and scroll down under the LAN option ... there will be a checkbox for Routing fix. Once I turned that on, my connection has be very stable.
Hope this works for you.
I have an unrooted Asus Transformer running stock 3.1 and I'm trying to connect to the internet in any way I can through my Samsung Fascinate. My fascinate is rooted and running MIUI 1.7.1.3 with the 2.6.35.7-otb-cfs-fascinatemtd+ kernel.
I have tried the built in hotspot mode, Wireless Tether for Root Users (several variations of 2.0.7 and 3.0 and 3.1), Barnicle. I've tried wifi, BT and USB tethering and nothing works. The closest I get is witht he built in hotspot and Wifi Tether, both of which I can get it to see my fascinate but it gets hung up on "obtaining an IP..." Barnicle didn't work at all because I couldn't get infrastructure mode, only ad hoc. I can't use Wireless Tether with BT because for some reason this option is greyed out. I've also tried going legit and paying though VZW but that didn't work.
I've read the thread about reprovisioning my fascinate with qpst or something but can't figure out how to do it. I have a feeling my biggest problem is MIUI or my kernel. Can anyone suggest a kernel and/or ROM for my Fascinate that will allow me to sucesfully tethter?
Any other than the muiu or cm7 mtg builds should work. Those builds are very different from our source built stuff.

+1 same problem and want to tether. Running JT's Cyanogen 7 rom for Fascinate and trying to thether with a tablet. Thanks!
Thanks, I loaded the latest Evil Fascination froyo ROM and I've got infrastructure mode working with wifi tether and my unrooted tablet can get on the internet now.

Is anyone else having problems tethering to a rooted Thunderbolt? I have tried PDANet Tablet. The phone and tablet see each other on bluetooth. PDAnet running on both units and say connected but no data transfers.
I have also tried the built in WIFI tethering with the "Infected" rom that I am using. Again it shows connected on both sides but no data is transferring.
The WIFI at my house is working fine on the Prime.
Ad-Hoc tethering to the Prime is a known problem w/ the ICS update.

Try Open Garden (should be available on Android Market)
I have a thunderbolt as well and the only tethering app I could get to work with the Prime was 'Open Garden'. I tried Barnacle, WIFI Tether and one other one, but none of them worked. Not sure what is different about Open Garden but it seems to do the trick.
I tether my phone to my prime every day at work without issue......phone specs in sig. Just using the in-built wifi tethering from cm
There is already many threads about tethering. Couldn't people read and search before starting a new thread? All that have been said above have already been said many times.
I tether with my thunderbolt running built in app. Running Gingeritis 3D and SHIFTSENSE roms.
Hey so I have an Amaze 4G running AndroidRevolution HD and previously stock ICS leak. On both of those ROMs, whenever I try to tether WiFi, barnacle doesn't do anything at all. However, when I use the t-mo one it works (but wants me to pay for it). Is there something im doing wrong?
Thanks!
Anyone get bluetooth tethering to work on 4.2.1? Before I was using FLAPJAXX's ICS ROM and I had bluetooth tethering there. I'm now on PTMR3's Padawan ROM. I'm wondering if FLAPJAXX added it special to his ROM or if it was there in ICS and AT&T removed it from 4.2.1.
I use bluetooth tethering in a Ford Explorer with MyFord Touch. The Explorer then becomes a WiFi hotspot this way. You might be asking, why not just use the WiFi hotspot on my Note. Well when we travel I use Google Maps a lot and it works better with WiFi on and I can't have WiFi on if it's being used as a hotspot.
Thanks!

Android made a change in version 4.1.2 that allows carriers like at&t to tell the difference between regular data, and tethered data. So if you don't have the tethering plan you won't be able to tether.
However some devs have bypassed this in custom roms. There's also apps available that re-enable the tethering feature. You'll have to either find a rom, or an app to get your tether back. I use an app called "power toggles" to add a tether on/off widget.
