Seems to be nice.
But I don't have use for it as it doesn't work with WIFI direct (it needs a WIFI network where both devices are connected to).
Thanks anyways...
Oh, forgot to mention the details... the phone restarted itself after showing the error briefly, when I tried to use the hotspot type of connection.

It does, but the other device has to have wifi direct too.

...sorry, but it doesn't work.
The problem I mentioned started when I tried to start a share "from" the Desire X to another device using "Wifi direct" via hotspot type of connection.
Summary:
Yes, both devices do have "SuperBeam" installed, but it fails at creating a share on the Desire X already.
The only alternative then is having both devices connected to an existing Wifi network.
That is not what I'm looking for.

Hey i was wondering if anybody else is having this problem with the wifi hotspot and usb tethering. I am running windows mobile rom with radio 2.14. I am running Mdeejay_evo sense v1.0 warm. But pretty much every android build i put on there I am unable to get the wifi hotspot or usb tethering to work. Just seeing if anybody can help. Right now I am just having to reboot the phone into WM to use the usb tethering.
well u know winmo roms have wireless tether too right?
yes im having that problem also was waiting for this thread didnt want to make one
works for me and im on mdeejay froyo hd 3.3a
The only ROM that i know of that Wi-Fi tethering is working on is Mdeejay's & Darkstone's Desire HDs ROMs.
I can confirm Hypderdroid 1.6 works too
same here...
Yea I'm on mdeejay evo 1.6 and wifi tehtering not working either. It'll connect, but I won't get any traffic.
i am experiencing the same problems with about every build. i found one build which is core droid version 1.1 that actually worked then i updated to version 1.2 and stoped working. but i still have yet to find a build in which everything works.
mad props to the devs and everybody at xda for making android on hd2 possible.
any other builds that have wifi working please let us know, thanks!!
I am using Bangsters 1.3a and after running the script he provided a link to I have no problem with WiFi tethering... honestly have not used the USB tether
I have FroyoStone Sense v3.1 and Wifi tethering works for me.
keep in mind that after you connect ur computer to ur wifi hotspot, it can take a minute or two for windows to obtain internet access through ur device.
for me, it usually takes about a minute.
I try NexusHD2-FRG83_V1.1_(Froyo 2.2.1) and its works but the internet dont work so well its on and off..
If there is no internet on your pc after connection try add the dns 8.8.8.8 manually on TCP/IP.

FOR WIFI TETHERING:
Renew the ip address your pc AFTER its connected to hd2 and complains about no internet connection (no traffic) You can do this by entering the command
ipconfig /renew
to start menu or cmd screen. (Don't repair wireless connection, wait till it gives up)
FOR USB TETHERING:
Normally windows vista/7 shouldn't need driver, but sometimes it does. (Mostly because of droid explorer) So when you make usb tethering, if your phone is just listed as Android Phone in your device manager. Download and install tetherxp.inf for Android Phone in device manager. Click update driver in device manager for android phone and browse to folder that contains tetherxp.inf file. (This works for vista/7 too)
Download: http://www.android.com/drivers/tetherxp.inf
I can confirm that wifi AND usb tethering works with all builds I have tried that does not give error while enabling it. But I almost always need to renew my ip. (and it automatically updates dns settings too) I think DHCP is late for many builds and ip request times out in pc.
I remember, one time I needed to disable WPA, enable then disable tethering and reenable WPA and it worked. IP renewal always works. Give feedback for your experience please. (Whether these instructions worked or not)
I made it work with nexus, desire, desire hd, desire z and evo builds. I was usually using hastarin kernels.
Thanks for your help but I kerosene getting a response that's says "No operation can be performed on local area connection while it has itsunami media disconnected."
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I see alot of people commenting that wifi tether doesn't work, or its incompatible with the stock kernel. Well I just wanted to post exactly how I got it to work.
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum. (I personally used Tilde88's method from the " yes another rootme thread in the dev section"
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to desire (cdma)
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business. Thats all i did and I can stop and start it and the tether continues to connect to the internet. Hope this helps somebody.
EDIT. Thanks to quinxy....I forgot to mention the wifi tether will tell you that you don't have root, but proceed anyway when it ask's for superuser access. Not sure why it does that, but the app will work regardless.

ECELLENT... THIS is how i got my tethering to work also except i used a different root method..
i used the easy root script tp temp root, then just installed wireless tether pre14, works perfect for me.
Also got barnacle wifi to work after using the perma temp root. no special config needed. But will try wifi tether now since it had epa support.

google search is my friend, lol, first thing i did this morning to be exact .
You might want to update the first post to let people know that even if the WiFi Tether warns you on start that you're not root, and you know you are, it's ok, just proceed and start the tether. The SU app will then ask for super user permission. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why WiFi Tether didn't think I was root! I'd just bail out without trying to start tethering, since I thought it'd be pointless (since the app warning says it will!).

FYI - Barnacle Tethering app seems to have better speed for me.
So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

No wifi modes work in infrastructure on the rezound is my understanding. Adhoc only.
---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------
Tried the following:
Old Wireless Tether
New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.
Yea, but i read that new wireless tether beta app, the dev was wanting to get it where it can support infrastructure mode, but only a few phones would be worked on....idk if its still in the works or not...

Yeah, I had no issues at all with WiFi tether. It has worked on every single android device I have ever had. Optimus, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and the Rezound. I have tried every single version he has made to boot! Never had any issues.

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.

hello I'm new to all the rooting and installing custom roms I am about to buy an htc rezound but was wondering if the roms that are posted on the rezound Android Development page already come with the wifi hack or will I have to do something else to get the free wifi tether THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Most come with a wifi tether app, ones i know of are Nils Business Sense and Rezrom( I think Scott's Cleanrom also). It takes a couple extra steps to get working-
Change device profile to Galaxy Nexus LTE & checkmark routing fix. Enable & disable, allowing root both times.
EDIT:
Oh btw, we just got s-off, you're joining up just at the right time.

No. The wifi Tether app allows the User to bypass verizons tether charge. but if you are on a capped plan, it will still use your Data.

I've ran into an issue with it. I am on Rezrom Ex 3.4 ICS.
My issue is: With galaxy nexus LTE selected, wifi tether starts without errors, however my wifi interface starts to have issues. I installed the latest version of wifi tether, 3.1 beta 14 and using the generic ICS device profile it seems like it is going to work, however then it gives the message "Device has taken back control of wifi interface" or something to that effect. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd really like to know what to do. Dont really want to have to load a new rom just to get this working so I can tether my new nexus 7.
Anyway it seems there aren't many people having this problem (that i have found anyway) if I find a solution ill post with info.
Found thread with fixes. If your having this issue or any others try the steps here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707

It usually isn't an apk that can be taken out. It's buried deep in the framework.

You will require an AOSP ROM to transfer files via wifi hotspot . Or if 2 or more devices are connected to same network then you can use sense roms also . I will post the app names later, I forgot the names.

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer
It will not work on sense roms. You just have to share files like you do with bluetooth, just choose fast file transfer instead. It will enable your wifi hotspot and generate a qr code and a link. You will need to connect the other device to this hotspot and open the generated link in a browser or scan the code. You don't need to install this on other devices.
