Aloha,
FreeWELL/tekahuna
I had to uninstall then re-install, now it works great! Nice job!!!
I looked through the apps settings, is there any way to choose Infrastructure mode or does it just do it automatically? Thanks.
I went from PDAnet to this, and my speed just about doubled based on the tests done at speedtest.net
NO DICE ApeX 1.3.1
Couldn't get AP mode to start no matter what I did after deleting the Apex one out of /system/app
I reinstalled, cleared data, and I get a message:
No Access Control!
Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.

I'm not sure what Access Control is.
I can test to see if it uses Infrastructure Mode later tonight.
Regarding the error:
Using GummyJar 2.5
Android Version:
2.2.1
Kernel Version:
2.6.32.9-g55626e1
[email protected] #1
SBF'd and OTA updated last night before installing the ROM.
I should mention, it appears to work otherwise, but again, I will check later. My laptop (corporate assigned) cannot connect to AdHoc networks, so this would be amazing to get working.
+1 EtherBoo. Same exact error, ROM and Kernel version.
kernel not supported
I get the same Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.. Android 2.2.1 Apex 1.3.1

Well, yes ... you guys get a message that "access control" is disabled because of a missing kernel-feature. "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing!
See: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
So yes, "access control" is unavailable for your devices.
But what do you get instead:
1) Infrastructure mode - your phone acts like "a real" accesspoint!
2) Strong WPA-encryption instead hacked-in-seconds WEP-encryption.
Your choice!
BTW ... if you want the access-control back install a custom kernel (if possible) which has above option/feature enabeld. Also include CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IKCONFIG, and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PRO so that the phone dumps the kernel-config to /proc/config.gz and the app will be able to detect it correctly!
Custom Kernels are not possible on the X, and most likely won't be, since it doesn't look like anyone with the know-how is still working on hacking the locked boot loader.
This is my last Moto product because of it (even though the Atrix is making me wet my pants).
I was mistaken, it is using Infrastructure mode. As I mentioned, I wasn't able to test at the time, and thought Access Control was Infrastructure Mode.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And who cares about Access Control? It's not necessary now that we have strong WPA/WPA2 encryption, and of course a true AP with the Droid X and Droid 2.
Besides, I believe Access control relies on the MAC Address which can be easily spoofed since it's sent as plain text. You guys rock!!!
My wife just got a D2 Global. I have a DX and I am trying to get her a wireless tether setup. I also ket the same kernel message. Has anybody had luck with the 3G hot spot? I could use some help! Thanks.

Yes... just turn on 3g hotspot then toggle airplane mode on then back off and you should have free wifi... that's how I do it. Its encrypted and runs nice and smooth

You do understand that the "error" message has nothing to do with the normal usage of the program. It will work just fine even if you get that error. You just cannot use the "Access Control" portion of the program which was a way to limit the devices that could connect to the phone. However, as stated by other members, you don't need access control at all. Just use WPA encryption and a strong password. This is a more secure connection than using WEP and access control.
Thanks for the heads up
Do I need to turn 3g mobile hotspot on for wireless tether to work? I see the network on my laptop, but keeps saying it can't connect. Any tricks? Thanks!

Droid X rooted and Nook Color rooted. Works great! Solves the infrastructure problem Had to uninstall and re-install as directed, but that did the trick. A big thank you!

go to http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as to download Samsung Kies....it's a Desktop Manager for your phone(like BB Desktop Manager). It has an option right in the software to tether. Will even auto set up your connection for you.
In addition it will even allow you to sync contacts with outlook, save them to your PC, transfer media, sync music/pics/videos, convert video, etc
Not There
Not available in USA
Download the UK version. Select Galaxy S. Set location as UK and choose English as the language, that is unless you speak/write a different language . Change USB to connect via Kies.
This is better than the free PdaNet and such as you can get to secure sites.
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/samsung-mobile-manuals.do
The link I poseted takes you straight to the download page. all you have to do is hit "Download Kies" and you're good to go.
Too bad I have a Mac, I'll just run parallels though

how do you change the USB connection? so that Kies reads the device I keep getting a connection notification saying that my connection type is not supported. Thanks. Love the program so far, should have been included with the device IMO.

Good point.
However, it takes a couple of minutes to root the phone and you only have to do that once (as opposed to installing drivers on every computer you wish to tether). Not to mention the fact that you can't tether an iPad or other device that isn't running Windows if you are using one of the non-root methods.

Well... It's on code.google.com so it's easy to make that logical leap and say it's "from" Google (they provide the group space to develop and distribute it). I don't know who created it but it works. There is at least one bug (issues when closing it down) but that will be fixed soon I am sure.
The easiest way is just to use Ubuntu lol. It works out of the box without changing any settings. Just put your phone in debugging mode.
Just wanted to add this as some one who keeps their phone constantly plugged in. In the Applications>USB section of the settings menu you can have it ask you how your prefer to connect ect time you plug in.
Fantastic! Didn't even bother to download Kies before, didn't think i needed it. Was debating if it was worth spending money to buy a stupid app just to get tethering. Now i don't need to.
Hello,
I am trying to get wireless tethering working on my Incredible. I have the SKYRAIDER 2.0.1 and Wireless Tether 2.0.5 pre4. I have the android.tether folder on my SD with fw_bcm4329_ap in it. I have the app configured for no security and a simple ssid. For some reason its not working. Is there anything in the android settings I need to change? I have been trying for awhile and cannot get it to work..Cannot even see the SSID on another device.
Well, I came across this poster after I needed a new wireless tether version to work with my 2.2 on Incredible. I searched "tether" in the Incredible General forums and came up with quite a few matches. One of the top links was my fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744883&highlight=tether
I then clicked the first link in that thread (using my phone) and downloaded the apk. Click the apk to install once downloaded.
Does this work for you?
The Search feature is a great thing
ya
thanks man!!!!!!!!!! Works perfectly!
I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I'm sure PDAnet works or you can just change the APN settings to use native hotspots without getting charged.

I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.
Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?
I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.
Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.
Update 2015-04-13: PPP Widget 2 now includes support for Android 5.0.x (5.1 not tested)
==================================================================

Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.

No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..
Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.
supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.
Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...
Superb APP..Will die for it

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.
for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)
although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).
Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......

I love tethering on a new phone, with a fast network, and unlimited data but until root the best I could hope for was a USB/Bluetooth solution..
I rooted yesterday and have the basics, Xposed framework and wanam, as well as X Tether, but so far no combination has gotten me to the holy grail. With wanam I was able to remove the vzw dialog, the Wi-Fi network wasn't connectable
And turned off with error.
I also went the sqlite editor route but received "cannot open database" when accessing the settings storage to add hotspot as a quick icon..
Has anyone come up with a solution for activating the native Wi-Fi hotspot, without getting the banner and/or an error?
