WIFI Tether Fix for CM9 and CM10 on NS4G - Nexus S General

Does someone have the current WIFI tether zip file for CM9 and CM10 on the Nexus S 4G?

Why would you need that when both of them support WiFi tethering natively ? Just go to settings under " more" it right there along with NFC & 4g options you will see tethering & portable hotspot

I have not had luck with any tethering app OR native tethering on any JB ROM.
Also, I've never used a ROM (GB, ICS, or JB) that keeps 4G when using native tethering. Only 3G (which is slower than dial-up for me)
I'd like to have a fix for this as well as I use my phone for my home internet.
I keep a backup of stock rooted ICS to switch to from JB when I get home. What a hassle...
I've seen plenty of people posting that are in my same situation.
Here is the link to the app's download page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I have the exact same problem. I couldn't get 4G tethering to work on Gingerbread, it works great on ICS and now I'm back to not having it on JB.

I know when I use Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 and turn on the wifi tether app, it showed up as a error but when I used AOKP, it worked flawlessly.

I was just looking for the same thing earlier today! I actually believed that it wasn't possible to have a 4G wifi tether hotspot until a few days ago, because every time I'd tried it (ICS & JB), I'd be knocked down to 3G lol same thing happens with usb tethering too.
on the bright side, 4G tethering works for me on PDANet and through native bluetooth tethering (which I used to use with my macbook pro) and android wifi tether (after a tweak in the settings)
now that the free version of PDANet sucks and I sold my MBP and am back to a bluetooth-less PC, a fix or something would be great

I even tell CyanogenMod on their Facebook page that it does not work and yet they do not respond.

I have the same issue with any jb rom. Are you guys on sprint as well? I saw another post where the guy said this happens with sprint users and to use foxfi, pdanet, or easytether to get 4g tethering. This worked for me with ics roms but not jb. Whenever I try to tether with a jb rom, I lose my data connection completely.

I too was having a wifi tethering issue, although mine was worse, I was losing all data connection when I attempted to activate the hotspot, however, when I switched over to this AOSP ROM (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...aosp-jellybean-v2-2-jro03l-8-13-12-a.html#anb) over on AndroidCentral, my wifi tether began working. It initially kicks me off 4g, but in certain parts of my home (the restroom to be specific), I can get it to kick over to tethering on 4g, but I just need to be patient. There is also a tethering fix zip somewhere in that thread, but I don't know if it'd work on either CM9 or 10.

I had this same problem on CM9 (WIFI or USB tethering didn't work). I figured out that it happened when I would flash the Trinity Kernel. If I used the kernel that came with the ROM it worked fine. Unfortunately I can't speak for the 4g because I don't live in a 4g area. Now that I've flashed CM10 I've used Air Kernel and I haven't lost my native tethering capapbility.

Issues with Wireless Tether

I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh

Wifi tether

I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.
Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.

Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO
From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.
I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.
Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.

Wireless Tether for Root Users

I am running SRF 1.2 which comes with WiFi tether which I have had VERY little luck with. Every time I try running it, the phone reboots. I remember that there was a thread or a post within a thread that explained how to avoid this but after playing with it for an entire night I was never able to get it to work with my 4G.
Last night I went surfing for apps and found the app in the thread title, the developer name is Mueller, Lemons, Buxton and it works like a charm. Within seconds of installing my computer had recognized the WiFi Hotspot and connected with DL speeds of 3-5 Mbps.
I just wanted to put this out there for SRF 1.2 users who may be experiencing similar problems who might want to use wireless tethering.
What version of the Wireless Tether app are you running? Is the icon green or yellow?
I'm running the Wireless Tether 3.0-pre14 with no problems. There is a trick for initial configuration and when you turn it on though:
Initial Config:
Device Profile = Epic 4G
Setup Method = Auto
Wifi-Encryption = Checked
Passphrase = (some passphrase)
SSID = (some SSID)
Access-Control = Enabled
To Turn Wireless Tether On:
Turn OFF 4G and WIFI. If either of these are on when wireless tether is turned on you will have problems.
Wait for both the "Hotspot" and "Wifi Tether" notifications.
Turn back ON 4G (if you want).
The trick is to go in settings and select the Epic. Then, before you start tethering, turn off 4g, then activate tether. Once it gets up and running, turn back on 4g and you will be good...EDIT...you beat me. The yellow 3 pre 14 is incredible

There is a new beta out that works really well and has Infrastructure (AP) mode. If you haven't looked go out to code.google.com and check it out. It works perfectly for my Epic. Just make sure you select Epic 4g in the device profile and Samsung SoftAP in the Setup-Method section.
I did a lot of these things, not remembering in particular what it was because it's been a few weeks.
I guess the point of the post was more just to let people know about another wireless tethering app that is free and works without having to adjust any settings, turn 4g on/off, face the western horizon between the hours of 3:00-6:00 pm, stand on your head while drinking water, turn the phone counter clockwise in your hand while you turn clockwise, etc...
Install, open, tether, done.
Wireless Tether by these apparently European devs. It works.

i had that but now i downloaded 3.1 beta 1 but i havent tried it... has anyone tried both and which is better? i see 3 pre 14 is no longer on the website
I am using the newest 3.1 beta now with some success.
I experienced an issue on SRF 1.2 where my devices could get IP but could not access the internet.
The wifi tether would start and stop just fine, 4g or not.
I then flashed EF02plus and it works fine.
However, with EF02plus I have a different issue, which has existed with all versions of wifi tether 3.0, where 'sometimes' when you turn off 4G, the phone will reboot.
So, there is some combination of events that can lead to something going funny, and then turning off tether or 4g will reboot the phone. This doesn't happen often.
So far, 3.1 beta is a winner for me.

Is there an app that will run wireless tether in infrastructure mode when on gingerbread ef02? The evo(running latest rooted ota of gingerbread) has a hacked sprint hotspot that works perfectly. Is it because of not having source? I don't think they have gingerbread source for the evo yet either.

2.3.5 with wireless hotspot working

Just loaded the new CM7 nightly 63 with 2.3.5 and Netarchy's 1.3.9 cfs and my native wireless hot spot which was apparently blocked with 2.3.5 update still works.
My guess is that Netarchy didn't merge the function which blocked it in the kernel so if you are on a stock 2.3.5 rom try the kernel to see if you get it back.
why not just use wifi tether and be done with it?
Because wireless tether ( I assume that's what you mean) doesn't create a true wifi hot spot. Try connecting another android device or tablet and you'll find out. Not everything works with wireless tether.

Turn on phone, go to wireless settings, turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot.
Turn on wifi-only tablet. Find my wifi hotspot. Connect.
It works exactly the same now as it did before.
It may (or may not - I don't know) be worth pointing out that there is not and may never be 4G in my area and that most of the time 3G isn't functional, so this isn't a very fast connection.

I have the AT&T Nexsus S and the native tether is not working right out of the box. I know this is for Sprint you are talking about, and since I just got phone Saturday I am trying to learn all this mods and stuff, so would I able to install the CM7 nightly 63 and would I have to get the 2.3.5 or could I just leave the 2.3.4 that is installed on my Nexsus S?
Also will have to look up what NEtarchy's 1.3.9 cfs is LOL
I just got my new Nexus S 4G (Sprint) last night from eBay and it came with 2.3.4 preloaded. I just verified with a coworker who has already upgraded hers to 2.3.5 (also Sprint) and she says that the wifi hotspot feature still works for her just fine. I was going to hold off on doing the update because of this, but now I think I can safely upgrade. Yay!

Since it is a feature code added to the account, and the process for enabling WiFi hotspot includes humans, I highly doubt he is telling you a lie. I also doubt that he is the only person in the world that has working WiFi hotspot on 2.3.5.
Edit for clarification:
Humans make mistakes. The appropriate feature code could have been accidentally added to his account by mistake, or tether blocking might not be working correctly in this person's area.

Mine works!
Had a stock 2.3.4 rooted, downloaded the update from google. booted into clockwork recovery and applied the .zip. When it finished it showed unlocked but had stock recovery. Used the one click root and reinstalled clockwork.
My native wireless tether allows my XooM tablet to connect. I don't subscribe to that service either...
If you're on netarchys I believe he does something to enable native tether. Oh and btw, after turning it on, it will disable 3g but wait few minutes and it will come back in white icons. Just make sure you give it some time.

You guys who are having issues with the native hotspot not working after 2.3.5, should look into buglesspete's flashable fix for it. It's in the 4g dev forums and even downloadable through CWM. Not sure if it's just for his rom or not.

4g wifi tether not working

Hello I have a rooted shift with Supreme Sense. I love the wifi tether feature, and it is my only source of internet for my PC right now. My 3g tether works fine, and I'm getting consistent slow speeds with it. However, when I have 4g enabled and then turn on Sprint Hotspot, my 4g bars go away and are replaced with 3g. When I don't enable Sprint Hotspot, my phone gets 1 to 2 bars of 4g and works very well. However, as soon as I turn the hotspot on I get nothing. Did something go wrong when I rooted my phone? Is there any way for me to tether with 4g?
Thanks for your help

No you didn't do anything wrong, and nothing is wrong. The Hotspot Tether Hack/Mod only works in 3G. But you can try THIS to improve your 3G speeds.

My 3g tether works fine, and I'm getting consistent slow speeds with it. However, when I have 4g enabled and then turn on Sprint Hotspot, my 4g bars go away and are replaced with 3g. When I don't enable Sprint Hotspot, my phone gets 1 to 2 bars of 4g and works very well. However, as soon as I turn the hotspot on I get nothing. Did something go wrong when I rooted my phone? Is there any way for me to tether with 4g?
Thanks for your help

I don't run sense roms at all but on all of the AOSP roms you can tether on both usb and wifi hotspot no problem. It's built into the roms so you don't need any hacks or anything. Some examples are Cyanogenmod, Kush Deck, and MIUI.

I can get 3g tether, but I just wanted to know if I could tether 4g.

Yes you can on all of the above listed roms besides MIUI. Sorry forgot for a sec that doesn't have 4g lol. And none of the ICS roms have 4g yet either. Cyanogenmod is the best rom for 4g tethering i.m.o

The WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether is built into the Roms on Sense also. But by definition it is a mod / hack. Because it is something not normally allowed without paying for it.

Cool going to have to check that out. Koush actually put out a new Tether App that requires no Root. Still in the testing phases, but looks promising for those just looking to Tether.
ClockworkMod Tether Alpha

I never said I needed to wifi tether. I don't even use 4G as I have wifi. My tethering works perfectly on cyanogenmod without the use of a market app.
Keep in mind wifi tether uses the wifi radio. You can tether over 4g wifi on aosp for sure. Not sure about sense. Will test.

works fine for me on ss8 and ss9 using wireless tether (but i think you have to find the app from other sources, i think it was pulled from market)
Hey guy's, that open garden app is excellent. Now I am tethering with 4G. Thanks so much for that tip . Would you still recommend I do the change to make 3G faster? or could it mess up my phone?

You can still make the changes to speed up 3G upload / download speeds. It will not mess anything up. Just make sure to pay attention to what your doing. But if I remember correctly you said your running Supreme Sense. The changes for faster 3G are already made. Just double check to make sure, but I do believe the changes are already implemented. So you might just be in a bad area for 3G .

Hmmm... Market is telling me "This app is incompatible with your Sprint HTC PG06100." & "This item is not available on your carrier." Any other way to get the app (or other options for 4G wifi tether on a Sense based ROM)? I'm running a Synergy and would really like to keep it.
Update - N/m, downloaded APK from Open Garden's site> download and place on (I put on the root of) sd card > open Astro File Manage (free from Market) > find .apk file, select, install (make sure you allow third party apps to be installed) > Nice
Yeah with Tethering Apps and Sprint you'll run into that a lot. Most of them still work, but if you look on the Market it says imcompatiable. Reason is Sprint doesn't officially want you using them.
