Has anyone tried any of the wi-fi tethering apps on the market with a rooted Photon? Did it work or will we have to wait for an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM?
I find tethering to be occasionally useful, but not useful enough to pay an additional $30/month.
I usually tether to a tablet so Bluetooth/USB solutions won't work.
Thank you.
I would love to know that answer.

I have verified that Wifi tether works via the Wifi Tether App on the market once root is obtained.

Can you tell me if it runs in AP (Infrastructure Mode) or Ad hoc?
I had this problem originally on my evo (before wifi tether supported infra) that a lot of devices will only connect to an access point running in AP (infrastructure) mode.

It only worked on Adhoc mode. I could connect laptops and ipod/ipad but not Galaxy Tab10.1. I had to do Adhoc modification on the tab so it can connect. I hope wifi tether app gets updated to support AP mode on Photon soon.

Should have an option in the settings to make it broadcast in infrastructure mode. It may call it softap, check it out.
Could not get wifi tether to work on my rooted photon no matter which mode I used.

The software has the options, but the drivers must support it. The Evo didn't get infrastructure mode support in the drivers until 2nd 2.2 update I think.
Either, its up to the wifi tether people to update it for photon like they did for the evo.
On a rooted Photon, is there a way to enable native Android tethering, which seems to be currently hijacked by the Sprint app? Because that would provide infrastructure mode.
i think the question is, where do we request support for the photon?
Anyone having any luck with a solution?
Same problem here ... installed wifi tether on my rooted photon. Can start tethering, clients can join the network, but there's no data communication. Upload/download counters don't change and the client never gets an IP address. Anyone have any luck? I downloaded the current 3-1 beta.
Mine works fine, just downloaded it from the market. Not sure why some of your guys' isnt working.
It works, just not for the devices we want it to[read: devices that use infrastructure], such as the xoom in my case, as well as other tablets. Works great for my girlfriend's macbook though...

I've rooted the MoPho and installed the beta version of WT. I've also tried Barnacle and even the native Hotspot function in the phone all to the same result.
I can see the SSID in inSSIDER and on the network list in Win7. I select it and enter the security key but get a message that Win cannot connect.
Ideas? Am I missing a step?
After some more tinkering I found that if I turned off encryption WT beta works. It's quite slow even with a 4g connection but it works. I also tried Barnacle and the native hotspot application and they both connected but had no internet access.
Ao it looks like WT beta is the answer. Now if anybody can help get encryption to work that would be most helpful.
I haven't had any problems off the market, only device I've tried on it is an ipad 2 though

I have WT beta and it will not let me connect my tab. Not home so I don't know if my laptop connects.

Tried connecting two separate devices (Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a laptop) with the built in portable wifi hotspot on the international i9300. The devices are able to connect, but I'm unable to browse the web (or skype) with either of the connected devices. Tried with security on and off, no luck. Previously on Galaxy Note, didn't have any issues using the same method. I'm with Rogers and I'm sure they haven't changed their policy in allowing tethering with their data plans. Any help our pointers in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my internet connection. After staying in a wifi-area and being connected for a few hours, my phone won't automatically connect to the mobile internet. When this happens I have to turn on Airplan-Mode and turn it off again in order to make it work.
It's kind of annoying. Can anyone help me? =)
Thanks
this is not a help section, report it to a mod
AW: No mobile internet connection after some wifi-time
I had the same problem with different devices. I think this is a o2 Germany problem. I use a S3 (4.1.2), a S2 (4.1.2) and a Galaxy Tab 8.9 (4.0.4), all this devices doesn't connect to the mobile network after wifi connection.

Might be the problem... but I never had this problem with my old Nexus S (4.1.2) on the o2 Germany network. I'm confused
I solved the problem using WifiFixer Free app in the play store .
Now everything is fine

You are asking a question in the wrong forum .
Do you have mobile data enabled?

I don't know for sure but i think that you can't get internet from wireless and at the same time use wireless tethering. If you want to tether via wireless you have to get internet from mobil data.

I think it's impossible. When you in tether mode your phone using Internet connection through the mobile data.
