Hi I just flashed CM7 stable to my phone and I just reinstalled Wireless Tether for Root Users but for some reason it doesn't work. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
Is not going to work; it'll only work on sense roms. Also, you need tor eboot your phone so that your wifi will work.
use barnacle wifi tether its usually works with asop roms, wireless tether only works on sense
I'm not sure why, but wireless tether works perfectly fine for me on CM7, and other aosp roms. I'm.currently on salvage mod, and wireless tether for root users works perfectly. A month ago or so, it didn't work for me on any gingerbread rom, as it just have errors. Then a couple weeks ago it started working for me. Idunno, but I'm happy with it. I thought the app devs updated the app to work with gingerbread.
Edit: if you restored an old backup of wireless tether, try downloading it from the market. Market version works, my old backups don't.

When you get to a pc, do you think you can pull it from your app and send me the apk, because I've tried all versions and it starts with errors for me. It'd be much appreciated.

Then I came back to try CM7, and to my surprise Wireless tether worked fine. And it also has for me on SalvageMod, Evervolv, and Savaged Zen. As I said, I had assumed that at first the app wasn't compatible with gingerbread just yet, and that the devs of the app had fixed it during my time on VaelPak. Strange.

Thanks, and appreciate it. Gona test it right now.
Why not just use the built-in tethering that comes with CyanogenMod? You can find it under Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot ? It's based on the AOSP tethering that Google built.

Because you can't tether 4G with the native built in tethering. That's the only reason. I need my 4G tethering, which the wireless tether app provides.

No go. Took a 5 minute shower, and still on "please wait while starting tether."
Though you running salvage mod and me CM7 [basically the same] but the only difference is our kernels; you on savaged zen and me on Tiamat. I'm starting to think the Tiamat may not be "net filer" compatible, which is why its not working. Just a speculation.

Hmm. That's odd man. I was using the Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel the other day for a few minutes, but I couldn't stop the reboots long enough to even see if tethering worked at first. My phone hates undervolting. Then I tried ViperBoy's overvolting script, and that stopped the reboots. Once i was able to check tethering, it worked fine on Tiamat too.
I wonder if it has anything to do with busybox, or what SU binaries are being used or something. I don't get it. Am I just lucky to have wireless tether working on Gingerbread? In my super user app, it shows Su binary V2.3.1-ef. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything, lol, but who knows. I know when you start wireless thether the first time, super user pops up and says 'binaries installed' or something like that, so maybe if they're not right it's causing problems. Just thinking out loud here.

I guess so dude. The only thing I can recall doing differently, was using a modified version of wireless tether, for vaelpaks rom, right before I switched to cm7, and then it worked. And it has since then, on any rom, froyo, gingerbread, aosp, sense, it just works for me. I'm baffled. I want it to work for others too, haha. What the hell is different with my Evo??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try this version. It's modified by vaelpak. Right after I used this version of WT when I was on vaelpak, I switched over to CM7, and tethering worked. Maybe it's just coincidence, but it worked right after I used this version.
On my SD card, I have two 'android tether' related folders. One of them is 'android.tether', and it contains a file called fw_bcm4329.bin. The other is 'androidtether', and it also contains the same fw_bcm4329.bin. I'm not sure why I have two folders, both containing the same binary file, but I'm leaving them both there lol.
Also, I just uninstalled the version that I had been using, which I got from the market. I installed this vaelpak version of wireless tether, and again, it continues to work fine for me. This was on salvage mod. I just restored a CM7 backup that I had, and wireless tether continues to work perfectly for me??!!

Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.
If it's a 2.1 ROM, the suggestion above should work.
Make sure you have the android.tether fold on the root of your sd card. I am running skyraider 2.5.2 and wireless tether is working for me.

This isn't needed for the newer Pre versions however.
I've practically given up on this WiFi Tether.. it's worked for me once before, now I can't seem to get it working.
I'm running SR3.0 RC3, King #1 and S-OFF.
I've used both 3G Hot Spot on the SR 3.0 RC2 & 3, and the one from the app market... I modified the ##778 settings and still nothing... I don't see the folder mentioned above and not sure where to obtain it to try that out in my troubleshooting, but any help would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure it's because the tethering comes standard with 2.2 and all its data usage will be connected to a plan now... I tried to use it last night to connect an iPod touch and the iPod was redirected to a page about billing information.
Well that sucks.
The ##778 method works on stock 2.2 DIncs too. I just upgraded last night, did the wifi hotspot hack and it works like a charm.
I've noticed since upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2, the Wireless Tether app has changed to ad-hoc and doesn't seem to work quite as well.
I've seen some suggestions to updating to "pre 8" and using codes such as this:
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible
How do you get the pre 8 version, and what do you do with the code above? I'd love to get the tether app back up to speed.

I don't use Myn's...CM7 user...but I think just about everyone sues the hotspot.
Most custom roms nowadays has the hacked hotspot. I'm on MikFroyo with a hacked hotspot. I know Nuggysunlimited's is also hacked. Those are the ones that I have personally used and tested at one point or another.

Does a hacked one mean an ability to use your hotspot without being raped by Sprint ?
If you weren't getting raped by Sprint, then it wouldn't be hacked.
But yes, you can use it for free, without getting charged on a hacked hotspot.

Yep! All you have to do is open Sprint hotspot and click ok. Then it gives you options to turn it on, change the name of your router (phone), and choose your security type and change the password.
That's it, your all set to go surfing!!!

Also Wireless Tether App in Market
I'm not entirely sure what the differences are, but there is also the "Wireless Tether for Root users" in the market. I've been using this for a bit and it works great.
I'm on MikFroyo 4.5 and use the Sprint Hotspot. For some reason the Wireless Tether from the market didn't wan't to work for me. They're both basically do the same thing though.

I haven't been able to use wireless tether in a while, unfortunately. But yea, they are the same...I keep getting "started up with errors." I tried the newer one, and the older version of it.
One thing to check with wireless tether is make sure you allow your connected device in the security settings.

Destroyer is AOSP, so it doesn't have Sprint Hotspot. However, it is CM7 based so I assume it has the native hotspot that's included in CM7.

You sir are correct.
I would just like to start off by saying I am new here (came from droidforums.net). I always saw posts on there that refereed back to XDA-developers on that forum. I checked it out a few times, thought it might be to advanced for me... I have since then got a Sprint HTC EVO, and since droidforums.net doesn't really have any forums just for that device, here I am .......
I have a question, I have rooted my EVO and Put the Newest Deck ROM on it. But I can not seem to get the Wireless Tether to work.. I tried looking through that post (over 450 pages, WOW) but I think I must have missed it... I also sometimes have trouble with the WiFi, but I thought I read that WiFi wasn't completely working yet... But I really could use some help getting the Wireless Tether to work. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
I love the Deck ROM, it is clean and seems fast- still draining my battery though... But the Deck ROM is great because it lets me take control of my phone without all the extra crap. I really love the contacts! Why HTC insists on not allowing you to sort and display contacts by last name is beyond me.. Deck is Great!!!!

Sense is great! It's as easy as pressing "phone" to dial a number then as you type the name of the contact it will be narrowing them down to the contact your trying to get to. It doesn't get easier than that! Lol

Glad you got it working.
Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!

Sorry, I meant Gingerbread.
I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025
Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.
I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.
Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.
Hello everyone, I recently joined this forum, as you can probably tell...:silly: Anyways, I recently installed ParanoidAndroid 1.9a for my phone. The minute I picked it up I fell in love with it. However, before I completely switched to PA, I checked some of the apps I would use the most. PDAnet was one of those few. I tried using the android wifi tether app. Though it would not work, I would check to see if there was a log to see if there were any errors, but when I go to check it, I get an error saying that there is no log. I need to use those two apps, because they are the only way I can access the internet through my PC. So before I switch to PA, is there a way I can get the Wifi Tether app working? Thanks.
I've been checking around the tether app some more, though I haven't found a fix. I tried the Routing Fix, though that doesn't work. I've tried messing with the settings though I still can't get it to work. Maybe the Wifi Tethering app won't work with ParanoidAndroid? I really want to keep PA, but if I can't use the Wifi tethering app, then I can't keep it, as tethering via Wifi or USB are the only ways I can access the internet through my PC.
No one has an answer? D:
