I am running Elegancia 6.2.0. I've been trying to get the wifi hotspot to work with no luck. I've done some searching and reading, and tried various suggestions, but nothing seems to help. I've tried using the built in app, as well as WIFI Tether Plus, but neither work. The built in app won't start it up, and WiFi Tether Plus starts up, but I can't see any available wifi network from it even though it appears to start successfully. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just got a LG thrive, Im using my post-paid sim card from a Inspire 4G in it. Im trying to get the wifi tether working. I tried using quick setting but it crashes the phone. I tried using the hot spot widget but it also crashes the phone. I also tried using a modified apn from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980591 it worked on my Inspire 4G, but it either says "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of mobile hotspots" or " Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device go to att.com/mywireless" I have been searching and trying to figure out this problem all afternoon. On th stores demo thrive I was able to get it working after two minutes and only one crash. I have already installed pdanet, not sure how well it works on this phone since I have yet to test it, but i would really like to get the wifi tether working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone has to know something...
Sent from my LG-P506 using XDA App
Anyone working on getting it to work for LG-P506 (LG Thrive)? Or know of any methods to get it to act as a wireless hotspot? I've tried Quick Settings and it restarts the phone but haven't tried Easy Tether yet because I don't even know if it enables shared WiFi and uses a USB connection to share it.
I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in. I haven't actually used the app yet because I usually use my iPad or galaxy and rarely use the laptop anymore. But it did work with the backflip and that phone is big time locked down.
USB tethering: Authentication was unsuccessful
I have the same problem. LG thrive says:
Authentication was unsuccessful
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enblement of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later.
and it is the same error for USB tethering or portable Wifi hotspot
Have anybody solved this? Any sugestions?
heres the tutorial on how to tether wifi and usb forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218943
Has anyone figured out a way to get the pre installed hotspot working? i have tried similar guides from the newer droids and older gingerbread ''hacks'' attempts have been disappointing the ip address response error comes up no matter what i try wifi tether beta and the one from the market will not show up for my xoom which makes them useless at the moment. have tried radiocomm ''hacks'' for data workarounds no luck either ugh. thanks
any luck with that?

It somehow forces the sprint hotspot to activate, which allows for infrastructure mode. Ignore any errors at start up.
While this won't make the stock app work, you can root your phone and use the Open Garden Wifi tethering app which works with 3G, 4G and is much more customizable.
Sorry to start a new wifi tethering thread but I couldn’t find any information on the issue I am having. I have tried to use open garden wifi tether from the market and it seems to work but when I go to stop it I get a error saying “unable to stop is you device rooted”. At this point it will not stop transmitting and I have to reboot my phone to get it to stop. I am running TSM res 2.1 with GeeWiz kernel 2.4.2. Does anyone have this issue and is this normal? I’m not sure if it has something to do with the kernel and rom I am using. I would like to get the wifi thering working and would appreciate any help you guys could give me or any suggestions on using a different wifi tethering app. I was looking at the android wifi tethering app but I’m not sure which version I should be using for my phone. Thanks in advance for the help.
Give barnacle wifi tether a try. I have had good luck with that tethering app. Wireless tether is another you could give a go at

I just installed the new Paranoid Android, and I cannot seem to get the Portable Hotspot to work. I was using the stock rom, and Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' worked flawlessly after using the SQLite hack. I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users (which used to be my go-to, until it just stopped working after an update). I cannot get any of these to work, as Wifi Tether comes up with the error, 'Tethering started with errors, please check 'show log''. When I check the log, there is nothing in it.
Any ideas on what is going on here? It is almost as if there is a messed up driver somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Like I said, I used to have it running perfectly one day, then it seemed like all of my tethering apps wouldn't work. I resorted to using the built in Mobile Hotspot, and it started working fine again.
Strange thing, I also paid for FoxFi, and even that wouldn't work, which I found very odd..

Yeah, literally everything else on the the phone works as new.
When I was having trouble with Wifi Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and FoxFi, I tried a factory reset via the Droid Razr Utility and it didn't change a thing. One of the beta versions of Wifi Tether turned on with no errors, but I could not find the SSID once it was supposedly turned on. After using the stock Mobile Hotspot with the SQLite hack, it works perfectly. But, when I go to ParanoidAndroid, it uses a different type of 'Mobile Hotspot' app named 'Portable Hotspot', and it just gives me an error (but no details, justs says error under it and then greys itself out.

I had an issue with 3.69 Paranoidandriod and had to do the terminal emulator hack to get wifi to work and that also somehow fixed my tether. If you haven't yet also try to run a fix permission and see if that will take care of things. I will test mine (currently running 3.97 as well) and get back with you later to let you know what I found.
Just saw that there's an update to Paranoidandroid which is 3.98 and he posted that he fixed the wifi tethering. Try to update and see what that does for you. I tried to fix permission on versino 3.97 and it didn't help. I tried terminal emulator b/c my wifi stopped working and that did fix that issue.
I just loaded it up, and still nothing. Now, when I try to turn on the hotspot, it just keeps saying 'Turning hotspot on...' and doesn't change. I tried connecting and it still is nowhere to be seen.
Are there any instructions out there for the terminal hack method, or a way that worked for you?
I have a droidX with liquid ICS 1.62,
android version 4.0.4,
and kernel version 2.6.32.9-g34b306d
i have tried every possible method i have found to get wifi tethering working, its to give my nexus 7 wifi on the train
I'm able to tether with bluetooth, but because there's no wifi connection various apps dont "see" the internet and ignore it.
so i need wifi tethering
BUT IT WONT FREAKIN WORK. :crying::crying:
more specifically, no matter what i try, nothing can see the wifi tethering signal of my phone, its as if nothing is there at all.
it'd tried; Foxfi, PDAnet, wifi tether for root users, barnacle tether...
i'm completely at witts end here, ask me any question you need and i'll answer in as much detail as needed
anyone? at all?
if you need any more information, i can provide it
guess not
i'll probably have to drop back down to CM7, it looks like every single ics or jb rom for the droidx has this dumb issue. thanks verizon
wait, nevermind, got it working again somehow
after flashing back to stock liquidICS 1.62 i found it working again
i tried to underclock the phone so i could leave it in my pocket running wifi all day, but apparently under OR overclocking the phone AT ALL breaks tethering, dont ask me how or why.
if you change the clock speed at all, you need to reboot before using tether
