Hi,
I'm new, not much of a techie but I need some help. I just rooted my Tmobile Vibrant, it's still running 2.1 Update 1. I want to wifi tether so I downloaded Barnacle Legacy. Everything opens fine, but when I try to search wifi hotspots on other devices, nothing shows. I am using a Droid and a Mytouch 2nd gen and neither will find the Vibrants Barnacle spot. I was then told to get Wireless Tether for Root Users app. I got Appbrain, Android market and tried the internet and all tell me that "the item can not be found". Where can I get a copy of this app? Or even better, can someone tell me how to make the Barnacle app work? It says it's operating, beaconing ad hoc but nothing never connects. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated

im running 2.0.5-pre7 on my Vibrant. Seems to work perfect.
What version are you running?
Also, be sure that your laptop can use "AD-HOC" networks as the tether app sets the phone up that way.
I know that my Nook can not use adhoc - therefor cant even see the tether network.
I would seriously recommend getting rid of WT or Barnacle (big fan of both) and use the tether app that was on the international galaxy that was removed from the carriers.... here is where I found it. It is truly a lot better!

Take note, this is not an app in your drawer, its in your settings (first post explains it). I dont think you will have ANY issues with it.
you have to be rooted to use it.
I just got a LG thrive, Im using my post-paid sim card from a Inspire 4G in it. Im trying to get the wifi tether working. I tried using quick setting but it crashes the phone. I tried using the hot spot widget but it also crashes the phone. I also tried using a modified apn from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980591 it worked on my Inspire 4G, but it either says "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of mobile hotspots" or " Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device go to att.com/mywireless" I have been searching and trying to figure out this problem all afternoon. On th stores demo thrive I was able to get it working after two minutes and only one crash. I have already installed pdanet, not sure how well it works on this phone since I have yet to test it, but i would really like to get the wifi tether working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone has to know something...
Sent from my LG-P506 using XDA App
Anyone working on getting it to work for LG-P506 (LG Thrive)? Or know of any methods to get it to act as a wireless hotspot? I've tried Quick Settings and it restarts the phone but haven't tried Easy Tether yet because I don't even know if it enables shared WiFi and uses a USB connection to share it.
I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in. I haven't actually used the app yet because I usually use my iPad or galaxy and rarely use the laptop anymore. But it did work with the backflip and that phone is big time locked down.
USB tethering: Authentication was unsuccessful
I have the same problem. LG thrive says:
Authentication was unsuccessful
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enblement of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later.
and it is the same error for USB tethering or portable Wifi hotspot
Have anybody solved this? Any sugestions?
heres the tutorial on how to tether wifi and usb forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218943
I followed all the instruction and rooted the phone - proud of myself for that! it was really easy...anyway, i then downloaded wifi tether which people suggest doing for free wifi hotspot. My computer and ipod seem to connect to the signal, but won't get on the internet for some reason.
Windows 7 just keeps saying "connecting" and then "taking longer than expected", then it just quits. Any suggestions out there?
thank you!
Hi! There's an already existing thread for this...

Has anyone figured out a way to get the pre installed hotspot working? i have tried similar guides from the newer droids and older gingerbread ''hacks'' attempts have been disappointing the ip address response error comes up no matter what i try wifi tether beta and the one from the market will not show up for my xoom which makes them useless at the moment. have tried radiocomm ''hacks'' for data workarounds no luck either ugh. thanks
any luck with that?

It somehow forces the sprint hotspot to activate, which allows for infrastructure mode. Ignore any errors at start up.
While this won't make the stock app work, you can root your phone and use the Open Garden Wifi tethering app which works with 3G, 4G and is much more customizable.
wifi tether help
Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
