Native WiFi tethering - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have a way to enable the built in tethering on d800 att version. I changed tether entitlement check value to 0 rebooted and tried to enable tethering and it failed. I kept trying and eventually lost use of my hone button. Wiped and tried again with same results. Thanks for any help

This doesn't seem promising

I'm a little surprised that this hasn't been figured out yet, and not really talked about for the AT&T version. It looks as if it's been solved for the Verizon version though. FoxFi tether to my laptop is the only thing working for me at the moment. I did use the bluetooth tether via FoxFi with my Nexus 7, but it seemed a little unstable, and couldn't seem to access everything. For example it would access the Play store, but not allow a download.

Wireless tether on cm7

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?

Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me

I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.

Couldn't get it to work.
I tried this but couldn't get it to work for me. What am I doing wrong? I booted into recovery and flashed the patch then rebooted. After the phone came back up I tried Barnacle Wireless Tether and Wireless Tether for Root and with both apps when I started them the Verizon WiFi Hotspot app came up so it was like 2 WiFi hotspot apps were running and conflicted with each other. Both Barnacle and Wireless for Root showed errors saying either the network was unavailable or "DHCP: Could not bind to DHCP port: Address already in use."
Am I confused about how to use this patch? After the patch am I supposed to use the official Verizon WiFi app (and it doesn't charge me extra) instead of the other hotspot apps I mentioned?
[Edit] Nevermind. I figured it out after reading Wug's entire post and seeing that I am supposed to use the beta Wireless Tether that is part of the patch (yellow icon) instead of the released Wireless Tether for Root (green icon) I already had installed. So it works great now.

Fascinate and wifi tethering

As of last night im no longer able to use barnacle, wireless tether, or open garden. I've been running EF 3.6 since its release and just a week ago barnacle worked fine. Now when I connect it continues to say nat down and restarts. The only thing I can of is maybe I updated barnacle and its glitchy but that wouldn't explain why the other two aren't working. Out of ideas, and Im wondering if a noob like me can get some answers.

Have you tried restarting your phone? It could be that the WiFi is in a screwed up state. Enabling and then disabling wifi in Settings might also be able to sort it out.
Yeah I've restarted and reset wifi multiple times to no resolve. I think ill just wait until there is another update for barnacle then see what happens. Like I said though it still doesn't explain the other two not working. Any more suggestions though? I hate it when something works then stops for unexplaniable reasons...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This is exactly what it says when I try barnacle. Nat:restart: network is down. Waiting for uplink interface....and when I try garden or wifi tether it lets me connect my laptop with win 7 (the only device I've been trying) and everything looks fine but no data is transferred. Soo weird.

Barnacle works fine for me, neither wifi tether nor open garden do. I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue, but it may hint that the issue isn't with the barnacle version.
Im thinking most of the success people have with OG/WT are on different phones or a previous version. I tried to install an earlier version of both and it told me that I had insufficient space which was complete bs. When I tried the latest version it locks up constantly and apparently hates it when you try to change a setting while the wifi is activated.

Tether on tmobile

I need some help tethering. I'm on paranoid android and I know that tmobile blocks through the user agent string so I changed it to android. I'm on paranoid android it just doesn't work and I'm not sure why. It used to. I don't get a tether pop up warning or anything. Usb tether through pdanet works however. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I've searched through tether threads but none have been very helpful.

EDIT: Reflashed the ROM and it fixed it...no idea what messed up my tethering, very strange.

Tether (Solved)

*Problem solved, see Verizon Development thread
Has anyone had success editing sqlite database to allow native tether or find a working a third party app...beside foxfi (haven't tried it yet). I tried all my usual options on wifi tether and couldn't get it going. Someone with more knowledge of sqlite could probably get native tether working pretty easily.

Same here, i found some things in sqlite that look like they might do it, but without a custom recovery and a backup...not going to try

I thought "ES File explorer" helps. Tools --> Net Manger--> Create a hotspot Network.
Please let me know if it doesn't.
Mine just says turning on.it just sits there with no activity

I also cannot get any 3rd party wireless tether apps to work.
I've tried multiple settings as well with Google's hotspot. No avail. My G2 has been rooted
Verizon
same here. No luck with anything. VZW verison. I had also started a thread but I guess i'll close it down since there's more activity here.
This is pretty interesting because VZW lost the lawsuit and the loss meant they werent allowed to block third party tether apps.
Has anyone tried Barnacle?

I tried barnacle and got this message:
"WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on trasnport endpoint
Could not connect to NAT, will retry later
Running..."
but nothing happens. It doesn't even broadcast a signal.
Did you guys get the message that "wifi is in control shutting down" on wifi tether
Or something to that effect

i can usually get the google android tether app to work on most rooted phones, just play around with the settings and try changing the phone model under the settings tab. https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

It fails to run. On the log error under "Setting ad-hoc" it shows as failed, which is the same problem barnicle is having
Did you guys do a couple of things required on the Razr HD to get it to work.
You need to do the sqlite entitlement database modification. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800796&page=2
Did those of you trying to use WiFi Tether change the profile???
Also you can backup the sqlite database, just in case you are worried about changing anything.
I don't have the phone yet, but plan to get one.
Has anyone had any luck??
i tried with my tmobile and the same. cant get wifi tether to work with a 3rd party app.
Tried USB tether with Foxfi on my Verizon G2 and it worked flawlessly but I kept hitting the usage cap since its a free version . pretty much useless for me.
WIshed Wifi tether worked.
Man, I was thinking about getting the g2 but not so sure if I can't get wifi tether to work! Definitely staying tuned. Anyone try hotspot control?
Shoot.
If I can't tether with this, back to the store it goes.
Give it time guys, the phone just came out a couple days ago. I'm surprised we have root already, it took the Moto X/ULTRA/MAXX weeks to get rooted.
As far as tethering, I tried using Portable WiFi Hotspot which is just a toggle to the built in tethering, which works on my Note 2, but didn't do anything on the G2. Then I downloaded Wireless Tether for Root Users and it looks like it works, it shows it started and I see 0.6Kb of data being sent but it never actually creates a wireless network.
