Hi I just rooted my Arc with GingerBreak, worked really well btw,
Titanium Backup and Cache mate are working fine, busybox is installed. However none of the tethering apps seem to work. Can anyone offer an suggestions?
While we are here, maybe find out which other "root apps" work and don't work?
Barnacle tether seems to work alright now!

There a built-in tethering in Gingerbread ... Go to Parameters > wireless parameters and network
I also cannot get any tethering to work, not the in built one or barnacle!
It connects to my laptop fine but as soon as it does the mobile data connection drops and only returns after disabling tethering?!
Neither do I, seems like it's a problem of GigerBreak, Even after un-rooting by using GingerBreak, won't work.
It connects to the Wifi like Karlos G said but can't access to the internet.........
Using 2.3.2.
Also some says HDMI doesn't work after rooting but to me, it works flawlessly
Yeah I tried unrooting but it still doesn't work! Literally as soon as I press to enable tethering I can watch the data connection drop off then as soon as I disable tethering it comes straight back! Really annoying as I use tethering a fair bit...
No issues here. It works fantastic. Even now, I'm posting this via my Arc Wifi network .

Hi All,
First of all Wirless Tethering, I have One click Rooted my epic, and installed the wifi tether app but am not able to transmit signal (other devices cannot detect my wifi transition). In other words it’s not working. Do I have to install a specific kernel for this to work? and if so where would I get it?
Secondly, CyanogenMod and Froyo. Are they available for the Epic yet?, where, if not when?
Finally, Rooting, is there any way to tell that my device is perm-rooted? I want to make sure the rooting was successful even though it should be because my phone restarted like the directions said it would.
Thanks Much, p.s. I just left apple/att for epic/sprint so I don’t know all the terminology, please explain in detail Thanks!!
No cyangen mod 6 yet, or any roms yet, however roms will be coming real soon.
As for checking root try using an app that requires root like titanium backup.
For wifi tether, what version are u using?
Sent from my Epic 4G
for the Tether im using 2.0.5-pre8 istalled via tAttachAPkInstaller. I found this in the forums and people claimed to have success with it. The tether app in the marketplace said it needed a special kernel for it to work, any idea on where to get that and how to install new kernels?
To check root just type "su" in terminal and you should get "#" prompt.

Ur using the right wifi tether app, I use the same and it works fine for me. Idk why its not working for u.

Wifitether is probably working, it only broadcasts AD_HOC mode, which a lot of devices won't pick up. Make sure your Wifi drivers are updated and you are using a computer (not a p2p or DS).
I checked the root by installing titanium backup and it wen smoothly, but this damn tether app is driving me craZY! i have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole proccess and nothing works.... when i first start the tether app the download goes from 0 to .4 kb and the upload goes from 0 to .1 and then bot go back to 0 and thats it...... no other phones or computers have been able to see my signal... anything in the settings might be messing me up?? maybe diff chann?? im currently broadcasting on Chan 11.... even when i use bluetooth to connect it said paired but not connected....WHAT IN THE HELL BOBBY !!!!! i needs some helps
I had the same problem with wifi tether until I updated the wifi drivers on my PC. In my case I could see the network "androidtether" but attempting to connect caused the NIC to timeout requiring a disable/enable to get going again.
Still waiting for someone to get wifi tether working in access point mode. That's one thing I'm really going to miss from my Evo when I switch tonight.
I know its not wifi, but the pdanet tether application has been working great for me on the Epic. Its in the marketplace and can be installed without root. It does USB/Bluetooth, but not wifi.
OK i tried the PDAnet app but i cant seem to pair a friends iphone 4 with my device... i turn on blue tooth then pair then turn on the app and try to connect/repair but it keeps saying "paired but not connected" any settings i have to mess with on this app or the iphone 4 to make this work?
Thanks much for the helps.

I don't think the iPhone's bluetooth supports bluetooth DUN profile, that's why it didn't connect. iPhone's wifi supports ad-hoc wifi though.
I rooted my Fascinate, mostly to be able to WiFi tether it for my laptop and the Kindle I'm getting soon.
I've tried WiFi Android Tether app, Barnacle, and Barnacle Legacy.
The Barnacle App would give me an error along the lines of "Can't find eth0", then Barnacle Legacy(previous version) app did not give me an error but the laptop will just say "Connecting" then never actually connect.
I have the same problem with the WiFi Android Tether App where it keeps "Connecting" but never connects.
I don't think it is my laptop because I never have a problem connecting to any other WiFi...
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any help!!

Almost sounds like you're not fully rooted. Do you see the Superuser app in your app list? Also, did these apps ever prompt you to allow root access?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes
yes to superuser app.
the ADB prog says i am rooted
other root progs like SETCPU work
and the root progs ask for superuser permissions and i can set them
Look in General forum and for confirmed working widow tether. I use widow tether daily on mine. Works great. Have a nice day
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ive tried that exact one, computer wont connect.ive even tried pre12
I've tried quite a few different apps to no avail, but tried pre9 tonight and it appears to be working nicely.
I must be missing something, cause I'm a noob, but what is widow tether & where can I get it? Tried 2 barnacles & 3 wifi tethers with no success.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You need to use the wireless tether 2.0.5 pre9, not the latest version.
That one works 100%.
Newest ones don't. This is already covered somewhere in the stickies.

i am using Pre9. Thats the one I was originally using when the problem occured.
I'm using wireless tether pre11 right not and so far so good. I kept getting an issue where wireless tether would work for a short time (about 1 to 2 MB of data) and then would hang. pre11 is working good so far without this issue. give it s shot. you can always drop back to an older version.
I'm having the same problem, my Vista laptop sees the network and won't connect, my wife's Windows 7 netbook will connect now problem, so I know the phone is working right, it has to be something with Vista 64

Thanks for the pre9 info. I was having issues connecting and it fixed things right up.

I've had no problems with pre11...I've only used it a few times, but I did stream an entire episode on Hulu on my desktop and it worked without a hitch. I am on OSX.
FWIW, I happened to root & installl barnacle last night on my Fascinate. Barnacle worked happily once I made sure that A)Superuser automatically allows barnacle permissions and B) Skip wpa_supplicant was checked. I've only had an hour or two of testing, but no glitches.
Info: SCH-I500[RKAVZW] - i500.04, 2.1-update1, 2.6.29
Barnacle: Encryption: Off Access Control: unchecked, Ch:1 Custom Wifi Ad-hoc: none, Skip wpa_supplicant: checked, pp0, eth0, DHCP: 1200s lease, NAT 32000, 300, 100, 30, 90
I use Easy Tether and it works flawlessly.
Not sure exactly what is going on with your issue...however FWIW:
Any build of Wireless Tether would cut out on me occasionally - it wouldn't drop connection permanently, but rather for several seconds.
I use tethering to play online games that require a constant stream of data. Barnacle Wifi Tether Legacy works flawlessly. Never lose connection.
Are we looking at a fluke kernel issue with the OP's question?
I have tried all of these options and can't get any to work. The only thing that does is the stock hotspot app I reprogrammed from a thread here. How are you getting this to work? Do I need to remove the vzw hotspot app first?

Barnacle (did not try legacy) is also more stable for me than wireless tether pre9/11/12

I do not THINK Barnacle is compatible with the Kernel in the Sense ROM, that they are using.
Try using the Google Code Wifi application. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_6.apk&can=2&q=
That one should work fairly well for you.
Never posted anything that made it into someones signature before. Thats awesome.
I've used all 3 "Stock", Barnacle and the Google.Code one and they all 3 worked fine. I have stuck with the stock one (TMO not charging me for it either) because I prefer the UI for it and it connects first try every time for me. activate app, power up netbook and by the time my netbook is done powering up it has already connected itself to my phone a ready to go for a romp on the inter-web. I have been using it since day I got the phone and haven't received the text telling me I had to add tethering to my account... but then I never get anywhere near the 5GB "cap", my heaviest month was 1.51GB

regarding internet connection sharing...
Hi there pfulop...
Like the other users suggest, WiFi Tether is your best bet at the moment.
Have you got "BusyBox" installed..? It is a system resource that once installed has no user interaction but is essential to have installed on your phone for a lot of droid apps to work correctly. Just a thought as no-one else has mentioned it...
Good luck with your debugging... It can be a real pain !!!
Stay Breezy & be Lucky...
Peace...
FYI : Be sure to research all Apps fully before installation (you dont want to brick your phone because of impatience or ignorance of important info).
I was looking for the same thing, found this thread and it seems to be working.
I used the SuperOneClick program to root my FlipOut, then installed Barnacle Tether.
After enabling the "Skip wpa_supplicant" setting, it seems to work fine.
Since I'm planning on using it in isolated areas anyhow, security isn't a big concern.
Thanks op et al.

I use wifi tether (available via google code, the market claims it wont work on flipout) and it functions just fine with root for me

I have noted that Wifi Tether has many versions, it often depends on your model to see what version you should use. If you google "Wifi tether" you will get access to the google code page of the app. I have used version 3.1 beta6 on some phones successfully, you might try it out on the flipout.
BTW, as stated above, the market version is often not the best one.
I am rooted with stock rom. I have a droid incredible 4g with foxfi installed. The phone is on the list of phones that work with foxfi and im on the verizon network with unlimited data. I have pda.net tablet installed on my N7 and i cant get it to work using wifi. The tablet detects the foxfi network but wont connect. It is also asking me to install pda.net on my phone to connect which doesnt fix the problem. I have since removed pda.net from my phone and im at a loss here. Ive read over and over with no solutions, i must be missing something... Any help with instructions would be appreciated.
thanks

Have you tried WiFi Tether (requires root)? Works like a charm in my setup (Note 2 and Nexus 7 WiFi).

Haven't tried that, my incredible 4g is not rooted... I have to be missing something or doing something wrong because it should work.
