3 Days after purchasing my phone from Sprint. I rooted, unlocked, S-OFF and put ViperMAX 1.0.1 my phone.
I mainly use my cell phone for wifi tethering for my other devices: asus transformer, ipad and laptop so wifi tethering is very important to me. I tested and used the native wifi app for about a week and found that the internet on my phone would go on and off from time to time making certain things like streaming and downloading files a big pain. I would lose connection all the time and it was a complete waste of my time trying to connect. I researched and applied every update and everything possible to get the native wifi tethering working but I never got the performance I wanted. I gave in and purchased this app for 2 bucks and followed the settings above. Everything works great!
After about 3 weeks of testing and using this app, I did want to make sure credit is given here. The app has stabilized my internet while broadcasting my wifi tethering and I can be tethering for hours without any worries. I've left the wifi tether app on for 10+ hours and because my internet connection was good, I was able to stream/download steadily for the entire 10+ hours. Note: This app reminds me of the old old wifi tether apk.
Only two things I would want from this app is maybe a function to change the background of the app and being able to usb tether with this app so I don't have to go through other apps to do so. Both are very minor things and my other all experiences with this app has been good. I hope this helps someone who has/or been having the same problems as me resolve the issue. *Remember to follow the steps from the first post EXACTLY*
Thanks to the initial post and the developer!
Does Grasso's app work with rooted, unlocked, S-OFF, stock ROM? Or must I have a custom ROM as well? Like many, I've had a rough time getting wifi tether to work on the One max.
Should be able to edit system\customize\ACC\default.xml and shouldnt have to remove an apps
I was using FoxFi while on JB but ever since I upgraded to KitKat it then said I needed a tethering plan. So I tried this app with your settings and it works like a charm. Thanks.

New wifi tether 3 beta2 working perfect on EVO 3D now!!!!! With temp root obviously... Just released a few hours ago. Just thought I'd spread the love.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk&can=2&q= Download: WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta2 *** BETA ***
Hmm, I couldn't get it to work with temp root.
i had to set it to device profile thunderbolt to get beta2 working.
also have an odd issue with it..when after a reboot & reroot wifi tether doesnt work right away. even starting/stopping multiple times didnt fix it. it starts working later..either after using barnacle for a while or just time passing by. im not sure which one.
Yeah, I had the experimental version working once then never again. This is the same. Worked once but wouldn't load any webpage. Barnacle seems to be the most constant and best so far
Sent from my 3VO..
faiyo was right
try setting profile to thunderbolt. start wifi tether. it will not connect. stop wifi tether then start/stop barnacle.
finally, start wifi tether n it should work.
Tried it twice...first time worked, lost root. 2nd time...did not work..lost root. Barnacle is dependable, works and no loss of su.
Ive only gotten barnacle to work. I cant get this version to work.
I don't understand why it isn't working for you all. It's working perfect for me. I installed it and using prema-temp root finished 100%. I don't change any of the settings in wireless tether and all is well. I updated the link to make sure you download the right one.
It's working for me. I installed it over beta1 and then wiped data. Tried it at first without changing any settings. The first time it took my laptop a very long time to connect and for a little bit it said limited connectivity, then suddenly it was working. Stopped tethering to change SSID and add encryption and it worked like normal the second time.

If you have to use Barnacle to "patch" Wifi Tether, why not just use Barnacle in the first place?

Its working perfect for me.
On first startup it said something about my kernel.. Hit ignore and I checked routing fix in settings.

yep, I forget the guys screen name but do a youtube search for razr wifi hack...very easy!!!!
I followed his directions and I paid for the sqlite editor app he recommends (I think it was $2.50), but I'm sure there's freeware...
after the quick hack it allows you to use the preinstalled mobile hotspot or USB tether functionality or you can download the wifi tether apk

Currently the built in WiFi tether when hacked with sqlite editor will only work in USB tether mode. Wifi tether isnt 100% Alot of sites just fail to load for what ever reason. Maybe this has changed now, but when I changed the entitlement check on mine alot of site just would never load over wifi, but worked great over usb.
Ill deff look into it once im off work.
I would prefer wifi tether or maybe even bluetooth tether for a tablet

Admittedly, I've only tethered a couple of times now, but didn't notice any issues, I mainly tether logmein to run my work computer remotely...hmmm maybe try the wifi tether apk and use ROM manager to fix permissions like mentioned above???
I just followed the same guide from when I used sqllite on the Bionic and it has worked spot on ever since. Mine has been 100% no messed up pages as others have reported. Just change your Entitlement Check to 0 and reboot and you should be ready for Free Wifi Tethering ;-)

I did actually use the built in WiFi tether as well as the wifi tether apk and both of them showed the same issues with not loading certain pages correctly. However I never fixed the permissions since it was never mentioned to try that. Once I get my new razr on friday i'll give it a try.
I think though that its something with how the data gets routed from the 3/4G chip to the wifi chip. When any of you have been wifi tethering with either application, have you been on 3G or 4G data? perhaps this is the issue? I've been in a 4G area trying to wifi tether and having it fail, but I have never tried on 3G...
Also I wonder if after the OTA update that the results will be different? can anyone confirm this yet?
Is anyone else getting the message "tethering or mobile hotspot active" in the notification bar when using the wifi tether apk? My X never displayed this notification when using wifi tether.
I just tried the Barnacle Tether app. THe phone is brand new, so I don't have any billing info. however, I did get the "tethering" notification. Is there a setting that hides my profile first?
We will see.
If you're rooted, Android Wifi Tether works. In AP/Infrastructure mode no less. No SQL editing either...

I am using the Verizon mobile hotspot feature on my Razr (not rooted) and several pages (like the ones you described) do not fully load. When I use the USB tether, it works flawless.
Here is a link to a discussion on this and a workaround for your PC. Unfortunately, it won't fix WiFi tethering to a tablet or gaming device.

but the razr works flawlessly!
thanks !
Did you set the device profile to the Razr?
I know with my Droid Pro, the tethering would not work under the Pro profile, but it would under the Droid 2 profile.
Ok maybe its just me not finding this out till right now but you can Pair your Phone to your Tablet, then in Settings hit Internet access via tether and Bam !!
Internet Access !! Not rooted
Figure I pass this along to those that dont know.. Free interwebs !!
Yup. 10char
Paired my galaxy s II to my tablet through bluetooth. I enabled bluetooth tethering but still can't get an internet connection. Under bluetooth settings it says next to the galaxy s II - Paired but not connected
you have to hit the little wrench next to it and go to enable internet access
hmm the wrench gives me -
xxxxx options
Rename Device
Unpair
Pofiles
xxxxx being the name of my phone and nothing underneath profiles
if able to, use wifi tethering instead. BT slowestof tethering methods. but if wifi won't work, BT is better than no connection at all. Barnacle or Wifi Tether are good apps to use. phone with internet connection needs root for it to work. so o guess if your phone not rooted and BT tether works, its better than nothing. lol

its decent. if you do a speedtest.net comparison of the 2 tethering methods, wifi always alot faster. BT is good though. as long as you able to tether, that's all that matters, no matter the method used.

Now I want to upgrade to a 4G phone even more...
You have to be rooted and have a kernel that supports wifi tether. Thenn you have to run a .zip patch through the recovery screen just Google your device and include wifi tether and/or patch. There are hundreds of how to writeups.

easy solution then. if u rooted already, just Google the wireless tethering apk and Barnacle apk. and you should be able to tether over wifi without having to pay for the plan. as long as you have a data connection and don't go overboard on the tethering like doing huge downloads n such.
Yeah I know I can install the apk's and make it work but I am a little afraid of getting caught and losing my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I read once where they can see that you are tethering since the MAC address of the device using the data is embedded in the transmission or something like that.
Any Verizon phones successfully connected?
If you have a Verizon phone and can bluetooth tether please say which model you have. I unfortunately bricked my HTC Incredible trying to follow some convoluted process for downgrading and then rooting.
So, yeah, I have to get a new phone and would like to know which one I should get that will allow me to bluetooth tether without rooting.
BTW, I am getting really frustrated with Android and the tweaking, hacking, and manipulating just to get functions to work. I don't have an Apple bone in my body, but I envy them for ease of use.
I hate to sound like such a noob. I havent got wifi tether to work on my [Sprint] HTC ONE MAX. At first i was just rooted and just using the app and couldnt get it to work. Then i wiped everything and use MOM ROM(MIlesOneMax) and i still cant get it to work. Looking on my phone theres no errors in log. Yet i cant find no other device computer, phone, etc... that see my phone for wifi. Am I doing something wrong,
drove me crazy for 2 weeks till somebody pointed me to right app, tried every wifi tether released and pdanet/foxfi, the only app that works for me is "wifi tether router" from the playstore....cost almost $2 but it works

I have tried just about all the methods I can think of and no dice... I'd pitch $20 towards a bounty for real wifi tethering. I think it's absurd that something that is basic functionality of the device, is blocked by the carrier so you can be forced to pay their fee. I'm already paying them $200+ a month, and they want me to pay more for something my phone already does?

I was able to follow the directions at droidviews.com/how-to-enable-wifi-tethering-on-verizon-lg-g2-vs980/ using the 4.4.2 modified provision. I take no credit for it, but It does seem to work for the G3 as well.
*Edit - It only works after you change the name of the device. Once the hotspot feature is removed it will not reconnect. You'll have to go back into Set Up, and select "Back to Defaults" and save. This will free up the MHS again for that 1 time use. Anyone know of a way to make it permanent?

One oddity with WiFi Tether, when you Disable, it doesn't automatically release the WiFi -- my tethered device (the tablet I'm writing this on) still shows a connection to my SSID.
My settings are the recommended ones for G3 (I didn't have to touch any of them, that's how it installed).
It does seem to release the port if you specifically turn WiFi back on on the phone, though I'm not certain -- I see multiple available wireless networks in my WiFi settings, a positive sign.
Net, I'm happy with it (had it running about 6 hours so far today), and hopefully the dev will issue an update to truly release the WiFi on the phone when you Disable.

I have noticed the same thing, and if I enable and disable the wifi on my phone it does work. It seems the easiest solution so far. I know someone emailed the dev about the issue with it releasing the wifi. Hopefully it will be corrected soon. It's not that big of an inconvenience for me though. Far less than not having wifi at all, and better than using the hack for the stock hotspot which requires changing a setting and setting back before it will work.
Agree, I prefer it to the modded hotspot apk approach. Time to restore the original two hotspot files
Thank you...I just tried it and it is working

The developer of WiFi Tether was very quick in responding to me, already generated an update that I just tested, fixing the bug. It now, correctly, stops sending the SSID when you select Disable.
I expect he will post the update officially reasonably soon.
Work great! Thanks!
