Go to google and type in android wireless tether.apk and download it.it is a simple and very easy to use wifi tether app. You won't find it in the market though. I use wireless tether and it works perfectly

Is this only for rooted devices? It won't work on the stock G2.

Pdanet and easy tether you can use for stock G2. To use wireless tether, your g2 needs to be rooted. I forgot to mention that pdanet and easy tether does tethering through usb. So you can't get wifi tether through pda and easy tether. Id recommend rooting. Its simple and easy

Go with EasyTether before PDAnet. The speeds I see are twice as fast with EasyTether. PDA net is spendy too. Of course, with certain app markets they are all free.
Isn't tethering part of the 2.2 update? I have it in my nexus one, I am getting the g2 next week though.

Unfortunately T-Mobile disabled the tethering. Probably afraid of the usage on there fairly new hspa+ network. Just use visionary app and download wireless tether and you'll be good to go. It is a temporary solution until we get perm root.

Until the OTA update comes or Root I've been using VISIONary for temp root along with Wireless Tether for Root User. Works like a charm. Two separate apps. Would be nice to see the temp root feature rolled up into the Wireless Tether App.

I cant figure out how to change the passphrase when I enable encryption.
I tried a simple 8 character - 15 character pass in example, abcde12345.
When my pc asks for network key, I enter that pass and it tries to connect but never does. I tried simple words and still cant get it to enable security.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm running pc winxp pro and g2 root wireless tether.

If you are using wireless tether apk then you dont have to worry about the passphrase. The reason being is cuz in order for a device to connect to your wifi, you have to authorize it (access control) when a device tries to connect, your phone recieves an unauthorized connection from that device. The ONLY way that the device can connect to the wifi even though its an open network, is if you give it access. Try it

I am using the vision temp. root with the wireless tether apk and it works great, I tell you I really love using the tether with the 4g speeds of the G2 almost as if im on wifi..

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two on 2.2 Froyo. I currently have an Incredible & would like to know if one is better in any regards than the other.
They are the same......only the one from vzw costs $20...but you can hack it to get it for free.

i use the hotspot bc it was easy to get for free... but seems to take a lil longer to connect
i've actually been having troubles with the verizon hotspot, when i use it for longer than maybe 5 or 10 minutes it starts stopping and starting constantly unless i reboot the phone and try again. sometimes it lasts longer. also, the internet speed seems slightly gimped as well, everything seemed to work faster through wireless tether app (download speeds were higher as well).
I got rid of '3G HotSpot' and just use 'Wireless Tether' v2.0.5-pre7.
Pre8 is out now too

how do you hack 3g mobile hotspot?

Its legit. Ask anyone else...thats how to get free tethering from a normally not free service

Ya, I did the free hack, and it works. Anywho thanks, I was thinking they were the same, I was just curious...
wow, really works. thnx alot!
I've done the hack more than once with different 2.2 ROMs, but I either cannot see it while scanning for hotspots or cannot obtain an IP address (via laptops, handhelds, etc).. So I stick to Wireless Tether.
I find that the 3g hotspot thats built into froyo (with the dun mod hack) is a little quicker... haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
OK, guys so although I am relatively smart at things all this is new to me so can i ju confirm that the wireless tethering I have on my incred is utilized the same as the verizon mobile hotspot would correct? Meaning the tethering allows my phone to be a mobile hotspot as well??

Worked like a freaking charm... Thanks man your awesome.. Now just curious is there a way for verizon to know that someone is utilizing their hotspot without paying for a subscription? Also, the wireless tethering is the same as the hotspot correct??
I'm still using the android.tether (wireless tether) I got from mejdam on youtube. Not sure if he wrote the app or was just sharing it out, but it works great.
I'll never load up Verizon's Hotspot app. Even with the hack, I just wouldn't trust it but that's me.
Yeah I'm using the android tether as well, but have also opened the mobile hotspot just to have it..
I cant get wireless tether to work on mine! Running 8/26 OTA leak, wireless tether pre .8 and BFS #1. Log shows iwconfig failed, HELP please
Wireless tether and Verizon
Hey, just to let every one know, Verizon can easily watch you bandwidth usage and if your downloading a lot they will notice that your not paying for it, and having to be rooted to use wireless tether, that's a violation of your contact.... just sayin....
Took the leap 2 days ago and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch using Odin and the Zedomax v3 kernel. Root went fine and after a short minute I was rooted and installing Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro and Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Having (free) wifi tethering is a must for me as I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi version 32GB Grey) and need network access when out abroad and in the car. After installing the app from the market, I promptly opened it up and started tethering with all of the default settings (no encryption, ssid = AndroidTether, access control is disabled). The app shows that tethering is activated with no errors and broadcasting the signal. Now I switch to my SGT10.1 and open up network settings but there is no AndroidTether network seen. I refreshed multiple times and still nothing. So I grabbed a few other wifi devices (laptop, blackberry) and still, no AndroidTether network is seen.
I have checked the in-app Wireless Tether Log and there are no errors or failures. I have tried rebooting the SGSIIE4GT and still have same issues. I flashed back to stock kernel (rooted) and still have the same issues. Then removed root, rooted agin with Odin to Zedomax v3 and still same issues. Went to the distribution page for Wireless Tether and downloaded other beta and prior stable versions of the app and still same issues.
Soooo.... then I thought, maybe the hardware that broadcasts the wifi signal is busted. So I flash back to stock, unroot and go to sprint today. They activated my Sprint Hotspot service and BOOM! Pull out my SGT10.1 and the network is right there. Connect to it and it works just fine.
What is frustrating is my brother bought an SGSIIE4GT as well, we have the same hardware versions and running the same ROM and kernel and he can tether with no problems.
Not sure what could be causing the problems but hope I can get it sorted soon. Would very much appreciate any insight from anyone on new things to try. Anyone even having the same problems?

My guess it is because the Galaxy Tab doesn't support ad-hoc wifi tethering, which is what the wifi tethering app you're using broadcasts in. Had the same problem when I was trying to use it with my Touchpad. You will need a tethering app that supports infrastructure mode to be able to tether to your tablet.
Fortunately, Necrosan has been able to hack the built in Sprint Hotspot app (that uses infrastructure mode) to get free 3g tethering. That thread is here [HACK] [EG30] Hotspot Hack (3G Only for now)
You will need to be rooted and be using a deodexed EG30 rom, but there a quite a few of those around. I'm using [ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 and it is working great for me. Haven't even had LOS yet.
After you get all this done you should be able to use the Sprint Hotspot app and tether to your Galaxy Tab. Mine has been working great with my Touchpad so far. Hope this helps!
:-\
My brother (as stated above with the same hardware and software) tethers just fine to his SGT10.1 and his iMac....
Sent from Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 using Tapatalk.
To make sure its really broadcasting you should use a laptop or another computer with wifi to look for the SSID. If you see your device then the problem is probably the one stated above. If not, then there is definitely something else wrong
EDIT: just read that you already tried this. Sorry man, don't know what to tell you :/ If the Sprint Hotspot worked then I would just used the hacked version I mentioned previously to avoid paying monthly for it
Thanks for the responses, will give this a go sometime this week. Thanks for your help mate.

I've found that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" does not work for me on the ET. It acts like it is, but I can never see the SSID.
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether, it is working great for me.
Try this hopefully it works. I am getting my SGII today and this is main reason for rooting...
Does 4g work when you tether?

Barnacle did not work for 4g on my Evo so it may not work now. I believe it only handled 3g
Phone: Samsung Epic 4G Touch
v2.3.6 EL29 from HERE
I tried loading WIFI Tether from this website and no matter what version I load on the phone I can't get my computer to pick up the SSID and connect. I know it's not my computer since it running off WIFI Usb card and I am able to connect it to my neighbors WIFI as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I use that one on ics and have to select galaxy nexus cdma as my phone for it to work. Also foxfi works well on el29 and does not even require root.

I have the same problem when trying to use wifi tether, my device cannot see the ssid when it is on. I tried several versions with no success.
Installed FoxFi and that works great, but I would still like to get WT to work to see which one is better on my battery.
I am still on a GB rom.

Yeah, I too use Foxfi, it doesn't even require root (although I'm rooted anyway). It works very nicely on Sprint, and allows you to create a mobile hotspot for other devices to connect to wirelessly. It also allows you to use WPA. It is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
I was playing around with settings tonight and discovered Settings -> More Settings (under Data) -> tethering. Checked it, paired my phone and my Win7 PC, initiated an "access point" connection from the PC, and suddenly I was browsing while using my phone as an access point. Granted it was 3G speeds, but it did work.
Does this work for me because I have mobile hotspot, or is this a feature that shouldn't be working, or does it work for everyone? I'm not rooted, using the latest software update (with multiview). I can't even remember far enough back to when a carrier would have ever simply allowed bluetooth tethering, not even Sprint. It's a nice feature to have since WiFi radios usually wear batteries down faster.

this will work for anyone the only thing differnet for people subscribing to hotspot and those who dont is the ability to wirelessly tether with hotspot. hopefully soon we anyone rooted at least will be able to use free wifi thether
Interesting, thanks. I'm still surprised Sprint would allow this considering they offer unlimited data.
That's weird. I just tried this and I got an error 67, registration failed. Maybe they "fixed" it in the software update.

Are using a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint? Your image tag says you're on AT&T.
Sprint has unlimited data on the phone data only. They have separate plans for hotspots.
2GB @ $19.99
6GB @ $49.99

I wasn't talking about hotspot. I was talking about Bluetooth tethering, and asking if it requires hotspot to work, because with unlimited data you could tether with bluetooth and theoretically have unlimited internet on your PC through your phone.
Can you tether via wifi? There is a wifi tethering app. You can find on xda or PM me and I will email it to you or post a dropbox link.

I live in Jamaica (I'm using a T999 here) and my network allows me to tether free. The problem is when I try to turn on tethering and mobile hotspot it just turns itself off without even trying to connect. When I had my BlackBerry, I would just enter the apn settings and I was good from there. Do I need to get a app just to tehter?
You may try WIFI Tether in the play store. It's free.
At the same time, if you flashed JBFrost ROM, you can just toggle the Mobile Data on the pull down.
Good luck. I'm giving away free good luck to everyone for the holiday spirit lolz
