A handful of my co-workers on various Verizon Android phones were saying that Gingerbread updates stop tethering apps from working, even if rooted and side-loaded.
I would like to try CM7 since it just released, but I can't lose my tethering! Am I worrying about nothing?
I'm using WiFi tether on CM7 and it works fine. You shouldn't have to worry since CM7 is not built by Verizon or anything, so they can't block tethering apps in the OS.

Good to hear! I'll probably give CM7 a whirl once it's stable.

Can you link the wifi tether you use please, and let me know if you changed any settings. I'm rocking MIUI, not sure if that matters or not but doesn't hurt to try.
Thanks

I'm using this WiFi tether app: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk
Once installed, I went to the settings, and changed the Device-Profile to Google NexusOne. Works great and it shouldn't matter if it's CM7 or MIUI.
I'm on the newest miui using wifi tether app with no problems

They are blocking tethering on stock roms, so if you are running CM7/MIUI etc you will be fine.
You may have to sideload. Verizon asked Google to hide certain apps, like PDAnet, from the market. This violates their net neutrality agreement, and they are being sued over it. Verizon stock updates are also set to tattle on you if you tether. If running touchwiz, I believe you need a modified kernel with dummy tether.

For devices the Verizon is giving an official Gingerbread build, they are slipping in ways to disable Wireless Tether. It's also hidden in the market, but it's easy to find an APK to install yourself. However, if you're running Gingerbread on the fascinate, you're doing it on a custom ROM, which doesn't have that nasty bit of Verizon code.

I am 99% certain I know the answer to this, but I just want to be 100% sure;
I am running SuperClean 3 Milestone 1, TW Launcher, and KGB Kernel with Voodoo enabled on my Fascinate. I just installed http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk, but haven't tried it yet. Is Verizon going to know if I am tethering with this configuration?
Thanks!
I think it honestly depends.
If you are using it to seach the web and do basic surfing than i dont think it matters to them.
If you start streaming Netflicks at HD quality or Bit Torrents [heavy bandwidth], they might suspect something.
I have used both the wifi tether and barnacle on ICS and GB for quick and dirty usage and i have never had VZW say a thing to me.
That is just my personal experience.
My $0.02:
I am running SC3 Milestone 2 and the KGB FA16 Kernel and have had no trouble tethering with my tablet or laptop using wifi tether 3.1 Beta 6.
You can pick your Beta flavor for the app using the link CCampos provided.
I have not tethered. Though I want to. (Hotspot feature) don't want Verizon to suspect something and then charge me.
Can't they charge me if they find out?
If I'm running CM7, will they still know?

My (very limited) understanding as of right now is that a custom ROM alone is not enough to keep Verizon in the dark. A think you need a custom kernel as well to be safe, and never use the Verizon hot spot app. Am I right?

Maybe Verizon can't block you from tethering with this app, but can they monitor if you are? And then hit you with a charge later, or drop you from service?
My. 02 cents.....I use an App called Open Garden Wifi with no problems at all.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just throwing this out there: I've never seen any *confirmed* reports of Verizon retroactively charging customers for "illegal" tethering, or ending your service/contract. Not sure why people get so worried about getting caught, it's not like the phone police are gonna come take you to jail.
If I'm wrong on this and Verizon is in fact charging those who tether (who don't pay Verizon's tethering charge) or terminating their contracts, I'd love to see evidence to the contrary.
I ran up 18 gb last month. From Xbox live and other teathering because its my only access. Never have issues.

Let me start by saying I take no credit for discovering this I am simply passing along information I found that I thought may be useful... I actually stumbled across it here... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1057&q=evo 3d
Not sure if this has been brought up but I figure this will help until these issues are resolved. Basically you have to download both barnacle wireless tether and wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. In order for wifi tether to work you first have to start barnacle tethering, once it starts close it out then start up wifi tethering and voila you should connect. I have tested this with both 3g and 4g and connected and transferred data on both. You only have to open barnacle once unless you reboot. If you reboot or restart your phone, you have to start barnacle again, close it and then start wifi tether. I have no idea why or how this works but it does. Hopefully somebody more skilled than I can figure out what is happening as it doesn't seem to be kernel related as originally thought. Would love to hear back on results and maybe devs ideas as to how and why this works.
I can confirm also I have temp root couldn't get WiFi tether to work and my tab doesn't do ad hoc. It's working fine now thanks

Tried and still no go. I wonder if the temp root has something to do with it. Anybody else who did not temp root get WiFi tether to work without barnacle

I have s-off and perm root. Tried this every way I can think of. Doesn't work. Tried it with the latest 3.1 beta. Tried it with your pre-14 link. Set desire-cdma and routing fix. Just doesn't work.
Are you sure you're not on 4G and that's why it is working for you? I mean, it does connect and it acts like it "wants" to work, but no go. Trying to connect to any website via the tether is just nada.

Glad this helped some of u. I'm the guy who discovered the weird way to get wifi tether working by using barnacle. I posted it here a few weeks ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15599383#post15599383
Then I posted the issue on google code so that the dev would do something about it.
It's really bugging me since I have to turn off my phone everyday b/c there is no signal at work. Then I have to do the barnacle trick everyday. I cannot get cable/dsl/fios at home so I have to use wifi tether everyday. Sucks ass, but it's better than satellite. I think I'll wait a week till perm-root & roms are mature and flash something with the native hotspot unlocked. If you prem-rooted then u should just flash a rom now.
BTW I only use 3G obviously.. since I don;t live in the city and Clear doesn;t know how to run a business. I've tried wifi tether pre14 and the other versions which worked..i just stick to the latest. If u still can't get it to work try using device profile thunderbolt or evo 4g. I think I've been using evo 4g.

I'm assuming you are temp rooted, and I believe this is why pre 14 is working. I took the ota updates before rooting permanently and none of the WiFi tether work unless I use your trick. So its either a temp root thing or an ota thing.

Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Thanks

Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.
I am about done with OpenGarden. Works flawlessly at times, then randomly disconnects me ever after still saying I'm connected. I am wanting to know what the best and most reliable wired tethering app is out there?
I have a Thunderbolt, rooted, with Liquid 3.2 installed.

Yeah that new kush wired tether is garbage just like pdanet and klink. You have to install stuff on every pc you wanna use it on. Ohhhhh wired tether in the description through me off. I suggest scrapping liquid 3.2. It has a couple bugs that they aren't concerned with and has been totally abandoned. Open Garden is the best WiFi tether out there. Try channel 5 and 6 with ThunderShed 1.5. Never had a problem. Was using it today. I recommend wired-tether 1.4 from code.google. So much faster than WiFi. And I loved liquid 3.2 but too many bugs with tethering and a few other must haves.
Good luck.

This might not pertain to many of you but I was having the issue where my computer would pick up my phone but wouldn't connect to the internet. I was on Windows 7 using an N adapter. I changed it to an old G adapter and that fixed the problem. I had fixed it by chance since my computer would connect to my wife's EVO Shift with no problems so I assumed the problem was my phone.

Not sure if you ever came to a resolution on your own. . . uninstall/reinstall from market. I enabled mss clamping, routing fix, and changed profile to "generic ics/jb (wlan0)"
Worked first shot. . . on it now!!!
Thanks to luisrod03 for the correct settings in Wifi tether (mueller lemons buxton) I had been fighting with this since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! I tried flashing, re-flashing, different roms, all the same result.I'ts a miracle I didn't brick this phone- Appeared to be working . Asked for root from SU. No errors like I had seen in the forums, I just happened to land in this forum and it was fixed with a couple of check boxes.

thanks!
Thanks for the tip, got it working! Was starting to get worried having been s month after rooting and no tether! Yay!
