I've converted my AT&T HTC One M8 to a GPe by using the RUU flash method. Everything seems to work perfectly.
Except bluetooth tethering, which is the main reason I did the conversion in the first place. I can turn on bluetooth tethering. I can pair up with my older HTC One M7 (also an AT&T device converted to a GPe), and they hook up to each other just fine. My M8 states it's sharing its internet connection. My M7 states it's using the M8's Internet connection via bluetooth. But when I try to do anything Internet-related with my M7, nothing works, and it says I'm not online (even though the tethering icon is lit up right there in the status bar).
I have no idea what's wrong.

Have bought Archos device to use my HD2 as a source of internet, but till now there is no chance to make A70 see HD2 as Wi-Fi router (have tested Galaxy Tab - the same result, device do not see HD2). Tethering via BT is also failed - Archos is paired with HD2 but not connected.
Is there any solutions how to make Archos working through HD2 connection to Internet?
Works for me running froyo on my hd2
Yes, I know that it is possible while running Android, but I wanted to have one device with WP and another one with Android.
Have received info from WiFi Analizer app that HD2 is using Ad Hoc that is not supported by Android yet , so no chance for me. So will try to use BT thethering which is also not simple with Leo.
Is there anybody who succed to make work internet through BT thethering - have paired and once I succed to connect both devices, but even then browser failed to load pages
Make sure you're not trying to connect in the bluetooth setting - once its paired click on the 'tether' tab and assuming the apn details that you entered are correct it should just work
Bluetooth tethering works fine for me. I have Htc Hd2 on wm6.5 just put tmobile in apn settings should work was able to use it the other day to watch nfl on slingplayer. if i recall correctly i just paired it via bluetooth first then i went to the bluetooth tether and checked it on. try that.

I'm doing right the same, but tethering fails everytime
already updated to 2.2? my A101 didn't connect with tethering first.
I've just bought the Flyer Wifi the day before yesterday and I just realized that, with the Android installed (Gingerbred 2.3.4) it's is impossible in any way to connect the tablet to my phone (Htc Desire-Bravo) which has 3G. Neither with wifi nor bluetooth. Googling around (without making any test since I'm in time to give the tablet back if I'm not able to solve this problem) I noticed:
conectin to my Desire via Wifi tethering (through apps such as wifi-tethering and 5 more that I tested on my Desire) is impossible since these apps setup an ad-hoc network that it's not supported by the Flyer Wifi: in fact, in wifi settings the new wifi network (APAndroid) showed up, tries to connect but never get the ip numer;
sharing my Desire internet connection through bluetooth PAN seems to be also impossible since there are no PAN-client apps for Android
My question is: if I upgrade to Honeycomb I will be able to share my internet connection either via wifi or bt? (remember: Desire server, Flyer client).
I have just few days to decide to stay with the Flyer to give it back to the dealer and this issue is the most important one for me.

EDIT: Opsss!!! I've just realized that this is my first post! Sorry, but it's like I'm at home in this forum even if I don't participate so much...
There's a modified wpa_supplicant file floating around here that allows ad-hoc connections. I tether to my Atrix all the time.
Much more easy than I tought... I upgrade my Desire ROM to one of the last (Runnimede I think) and without anything else tethering with the Flyer now works. Next step will be doing the same with bluetooth, but, at the moment, that's enough to keep my new tablet!
Will this work for a view as well? I'm having the same issue.

Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
Hi All.
I can't get the Wi-Fi hotspot to work on my unlocked Evo 3D, I am on Orange UK network?
I enable it, setup the connection on my netbook and it connects, but I can't get any internet access on netbook? I have tried messing around with all the settings on the Evo 3D, and even made the hotspot unsecure to try to make it work but with no luck. I have also tried a variety of devices and they all pickup the hotspot from the Evo 3D and connect, but none of these devices connects to the internet?
Anyone else had this problem? I even tried hard resets, and even flashing the RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.8_Radio_10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06_M_release_219793_signed still no luck?

Is this the stock Rom you got with ur phone? You van try re adding the apn manually in internet settings but my cause was I needed to reflash my stock radio then it worked however you would just download WiFi tether as this works pretty much guaranteed
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
When I find a phone that WiFi tether doesn't work on I try downgrading the WiFi APK until I find one that works. If you search Google Code for WiFI Tether there will be 10-20 revisions. There is one down near the bottom that works well when others don't. But one thing I've noticed with the older versions is that some android devices like tablets (FIRE) will not see the Android Tether in their network.
Try Barnacle WiFi Tether it also works when WiFi Tether doesn't, sometimes. You may or may not be able to get this from market (PLAY) still so if you cant find it I will send it to you. Let me know.
Here's a link to a WiFi tether thread

I had a similar problem getting the wifi tether to work. I could get barnacle to work but connection speed was extremely slow. So now here is what worked for me. ( you need to be rooted for this)
this is the link for the wifi tether
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Also after installation of the apk, I had to change these settings:
device profile to EVO3D
enable MSS clamping
enable Routing fix
Change preferred and alternate DNS from google's DNS to your carriers DNS
Hope this helps!
Please remember to thank those who help you
I am having trouble getting Wifi Hotspot or any tethering to work with my new Padfone X on the T-Mobile Network.
Everytime I try to enable it I get the error message:
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enabling of this service. Please retry later.
I read the phone might block it since it uses AT&T software but I am unsure what setting to change to fix this.
My phone is rooted and hope someone can help me with this issue.
I had the same problem. I rooted then downloaded an app called WiFi tether router. Its $2.50 but its the one that works For me.

It took some work to get it going on my Padfone X (rooted, unlocked, on t-mobile in US/Seattle) but it does work. It does take a little work to get it going.
The app is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter and it is still $2.50.
I used this as my base config from their support site: https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/home/device-configuration

Tether works on t mo in lollipop using padfone s ROM.
I am on T-Mobile and use mdkathon's method. To the carrier, it looks like you are using normal mobile data as well rather than tether data. But the native tether app works on my Padfone X with Padfone S 5.0 Firmware without having to make changes, it could possibly be something I removed during debloat process.
I could never get my PFX to tether to TMO with AT&T's firmware, even after doing some of the common workarounds. Flashed the latest PFS KitKat (not bothering with LP) software and tethering worked right out of the gate.
