Just curious what everyone who took the update is doing as far as tethering. WiFi tether doesn't seem to be cooperating. Maybe my settings are incorrect or something. And the hotspot hack from captains thread supposedly causes data connection problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can seem to get that to work. It keeps freezing up before it gets going.

I checked out the settings over at the captains thread and got it running.

Hi, I've been working on correcting Hotspot-Hack for a while, with little success. JB Wifi Tether is the only one that has worked consistently for me.

It seems like "wifi tether router" uses a lot more battery than "wifi tether for root users". Seems like the phone gets a lot hotter to. I hope they come up with some kind of update to get "WiFi tether for root users" working with this 4.13

I rooted my phone recently to use wifi tethering with my new transformer. Haven't had much luck finding a stable tethering app. One I tried was open garden but it isn't very stable. What's the best one?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I use Wireless Tether stable release
Just google search "wireless tether"
First result, go to the downloads tab
use bluetooth tether
just pair the droid 2 to your transformer and use the bluetooth tether option in the Asus transformer.
it's faster and uses sooo much less battery then than wifi tether and u dont need to root!!
i do it all the time works like a charm
Whoa really? Ill try it out sounds cool

I downloaded wireless tether and it does seem to work very well. Maybe its because I'm running it on CM7

And yes, Verizon 3g.

I'm not permitted to post the link, but I have been using Wifi Tether for Root Users v3.1beta2 and it seems to be working better than ever. Make sure you select DroidX as your device profile.

It's not, I just speedtested it, I feel stupid now for going over the mouseover link in the systray. Sorry for misleading. It's actually 1mbps and .56mpbs upload. Still, faster than my sprint 4g aircard that work has me using.
Ok great I can finally go to sleep!

Thanks, man! FINALLY got a wireless tether app to work on my D2 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried a bunch of others and none of them actually connected out to the internet.
Like derezzer says, select DroidX as your device profile. In addition, i also selected Change Setup-Method to Hostapd (master). So far, so good.
Pdanet works for wired tether. Wifi does not. If u are looking for a tether that works for, lets say, tablets or gaming systems, and not a computer, i haven't found one that works. If its just for a pc, use with tether for root users

I have successfully tethered my non-rooted stock Nook Tablet to my HTC Amaze 4G with both WPA and no security
I had to enable ad-hoc wifi first as per instructions here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370955) before I could connect to my Nokia N8 using joikuspot.
It seems that other people have managed to use another software to create a non-adhoc wifi network, but I think it's good to apply the patch and keep your options open.

They are different for each phone so you have better luck hoping over to the forum for yours and asking over there or checking to see if they have it already set up. Like I said I have a lowend samsung galaxy Prevail here from boostmobile.
I have a rooted NT and am new to tethering (great option since my wife has a Blackberry Bold (Verizon) that her company pays for). Seems like Barnacle and WIfi Tether are the two most used. Any recommendations as to which would be better for a noob?

no, that's not normal with the hacked one. Try reflashing the rom.
also, the hotspot hack only works on 3g. use wifi tether if you need 4g.

In case anyone else was wondering, all you need is the default tether app from T-Mobile and a tether widget. Set stuff up in the default app and activate via widget

This method alone did not work for me. I changed my apns, and the "tether _dun" value. I also deleted my upsell file. Worked like a charm. Unlimited wifi tether...no having to change user agents.
Also kuma's ROM is working perfectly for tether. Can't believe I didn't try it sooner.
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the root and have tried changing the tether_dun_required string in settings storage and have tried using foxfi and WiFi tether router to get free tethering but none of these methods have worked. If anyone knows a working method I would really appreciate you sharing it. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind I just ran it again without even changing the config and it works. I guess that's not a bad thing but I gave up on that and now it suddenly works...

I am using supersu and wifi tether for root users created by muller, lemons, buxton
All I did was:
1. Change Device Profile - Auto
2. Change Setup-Method - Auto
3 Enable acess control checked it
4.Routing fix checked
5. Vibrate on connect checked
6. Disable wake-lock checked
Here is a fix without a wifi tether app

I just got my phone yesterday at best buy and couldn't find that post. I rooted my phone and did it my way but will try that way now since it looks so much easier. The wifi tether app you have to restart your phone after turning the app off to get back to normal, thanks for posting that link.
