[q] barnacle wifi not working - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey was up guys i wanted to know if anyone has actually gotten the barnacle wifi app to work on the dell streak using 1.6? I have every rooted and side-loaded apps (obviously). I connect to the streak fine but it says no internet on my wifi connector . I am using Hp g60 windows 7 64 bit. I know someone may have a fix for this , so could you guys helpa newb out?

Do you have another wireless device you can try the barnacle on? Another laptop maybe?
When i had 1.6, i had no problem ad-hocing my laptop to my streak.
Stupid question, but you're certain you can surf the web, FB, twitter, etc on your streak w/o problems?

I am on 2.2 318 now (Worth it many times over IMO), but had Barnacle working on rooted 1.6. I wish could remember the the versions.I had two different Barnacle .apk's on my SD card. One worked perfectly and the other didn't. Might want to search and try a little older version.
Good luck! There is always QDL Tool

yeah actually i can , sufing the net on my streak in nyc is pretty snappy.. And i did try my brothers laptop which is identifcal to mines and it connects but in the network status it says no internet

When you were on 1.6, did you have to flash a new kernel before it worked

Tethering on X10

Ive looked around, can you natively tether an X10 and get internet access or do you need to install software like easytether?
Ps I cant get easythether to work either. (PS just got that working ;-) )
Thanks

No native app I know of that comes with the X10 for tethering. Try PdaNet, works like a charm for me. =)

I second this. Great app. Well worth the money.
I'm trying to tether with my ipad using X10 but PDAnet shows in order to use buletooth tether I need to be on andriod 2.0 or above! any way I can do it on 1.6?
Thank you.
Tethering
Thans for the PDAnet mention, isntalled that, its working nicely.
Was jsut used to HTC phones connecting automatically with internet sharing.
Not sure about the bluetooth tethering, as it states, needs 2.0
Wont be long till Paul has rooted it, the we can get vanilla 2.1 on and will work ok.
Bloke
yeah the windows mobile htc's have automatic tethering ??
anyways
pdanet, you have to install their software on the pc that you want to tether too right ?
Barnacle works like a charm!
just root the phone, and use barnacle, PDA something is harder
Easy tether works great and easy to use

Root the phone, use barnacle and tether over wifi. I just could not get BT to work with PDANet
If we start barnacle, can we connect other phone? Or just PC only?
Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
O. You mean: run barnacle use x10. And then just search for wifi spot and connect. Just like that? And what ever type as long have wifi connection can connect to our x10 via barnacle? If yes... I can not connect my x8 to my x10 with wifi. Anything wrong?
Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
I tried install barnacles, but my HTC Magic, Blackberry 8250 and Archos 101 cannot detect the wifi that's tether from my X10i....
should i change any setting?
anyone can help?
Are you searching for an infrastructure wifi connection or an adhoc? tethering is used with adhoc, its a direct connection between two devices. Refine your search to that and maybe you'll have better luck
-X10(a)i 2.1, JIT ~ via XDA App
I use barnacle at lans to share a connection with a few ppl. we all join and play starcraft2 with no problems what so ever.
Barnacle FTW!
Thanks heaps for the barnacle suggestion,works amazing
i just used barnacle wifi.. n its v gud n works just best thanks all
Question
barnacle is great, but does it also work that way:
Me (X10) connected to a (foreign) wifi-network ---> friend (iphone etc, doesn't matter) connects via my x10, and is also using the foreign network??
will soon spend some days in London with my school calss and wifi will cost money, so we wanted to buy access for 1 phone (wifi) and the rest will connect via this phone =)
Hi Guys,
Anyone on how to tether to win XP with a 2.2 ROM?

Mytouch Slide WIFI TETHER STABLE APK FILE

Been searching for it for a while and found many that where working but none that worked for more than 15 seconds then crashed, got this one now, and it works great. Been testing it for the last hour, and even using right now as i type this. It is attached to the attachment, download and install the APK. Enjoy guys
NO CREDIT GOES TO ME, IT ALL GOES TO THE CREATOR OF wifitether*pre3.apk
Credit GOES TO skullkandy
No link displayed (for me), and this was discovered a couple days ago with the wifitether*pre3.apk (would give credit to who discovered it, but on my phone, too lazy to search back, and retype this)
EDIT: got unlazy for a second. Credit was for skullkandy

added to the root thread post, thanks for the info bro.
This has worked consistently for me since install.
It also seems to not need any sort of special install procedure, you can just drop the apk and install from astro or whatever file manager you use.
works perfectly posting this reply using the connection dowload 1.76mb/s upload 1.23mb/s
Wifi tether
You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!
her does anyone know if wifi tether can tether to android phones? I heard that the EVO can do it I really need this on my slide.

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

I thought so too until I tried it with my G1.. something about adhoc modem won't allow android to android connection. I'm so jealous I wish I had an evo now.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.
Causes reboot on my Slide running CM Nightlies... (8/12/2010) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Need to check the log but it is consistent, does the same thing with AdFree.

Same thing using CM-RC1 (8/15/2010). Dang, was hopeful this would be a quick fix.
You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Not sure if its compatibility with Froyo since (technically speaking) Froyo is suppose to have built-in Hotspot support.

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)

Good tether app?

Any one found a good internet tethering app? It can be wireless or usb, both would be good. I'm rooted. I've seena few apis on the market but wondered if anyone had a good one they would recommend

i have only use Barnacle, free from market... that works
not tested it extensively though
Thanks, I'll check it out

Yeah Barnacle works. I tried a few others which didn't. On my 2.1 streak many reported no netfilter in the kernel and wouldn't run, but Barnacle worked fine.
Many thanks I checked it out. Unfortunately it does not do usb. I have pcs without wireless.
Don't want to use PDAnet, I might get a bluetooth dongle and use the barnacle app.

Get a wifi dongle, faster, more reliable, and can be had for about $10 (USD) if you poke around.
And +1 for Barnacle Legacy wifi - works great, perfect price!
any word on a usb tethering application yet?
I've tried the few that I worked with before and they all claim that there is no kernel support. Barnacle works great for wifi, but I tether my laptop from work and since I can't turn off SSID broadcast I would rather not have network security poking around asking where a rogue WAP came from.
Thanks ahead of time.
Running 2.1
build: 6941
I am using EasyTether right now while I am waiting for my home internet to be connected. Ive managed to get through many Gb of data (sorry phone provider). It is free but if you dont pay for it then you wont be able to access https:// sites after a while.
The easy tether is usb, I think

Would Barnacle allow the streak to connect to a home network? I've tried to use it but it only seems to use WEP encryption and I'd need it to use WPA.

Barnacle is for sharing your 3G connection over wifi, not connecting to wifi. The Streak should connect to your wifi with wpa just fine.
Barnacle seems to be blocked by AT&T so I can't get to in through the app store. Anyone have a link directly to the sdk??
http://github.com/szym/barnacle/downloads found it here!

Yes the Streak connects to the router but I wanted to be able to access the nas on my home network from the Streak, hoped Barnacle would facilitate that.
Thanks for the link! Was wondering why I could not find it...
Which version of Barnacle is recommended? There are two files there. And does one need root for this to work?
Thanks!
Bbarnacle does require your phone to be rooted. The two files might be two different update versions or for different android OS's (1.6, 2.1, etc.)
Barnacle providing only local access. aka no internet
Can someone help me to get my barnacle app working? I have a rooted Dell Streak running 1.6 US. The app connects to my laptop fine but it only allows local access. I tried looking through the FAQ and settings in the app but I can't find anything that would fix the issue.
Thanks!

Wireless Tethering Issues?

OK guys i feel like ive exhausted all my resources and so im now posting a thread...
i cant seem to get wireless tethering working on the galaxy s II for the life of me. ive tried a few different roms the stock rom and a few different apps including barnacle and wi-fi tether. they both dont report any errors i connect perfectly but my computer says there is no internet connection, my upload rate will go up on the phone but download is 0. any idea whats going on?
Thanks ahead of time,
Sean
Try using a different computer. Never know, could be a network setting on the one you're using.
What rom are you currently on and, if needed, what steps have you taken to get it to work?

Currently running cm7, ive tried the routing fix option ive tried a few different computers (mac and pc), reinstalled cleared data etc, im not really sure what else to try at this point.
Ok so i just tested it on my room mates ipad and it works fine, i see the download and upload rates moving. but still no luck on his mac, my win 7 laptop or my xp tower.
That is odd. Hopefully someone with more cm7 experience will help you out.
You can try searching google, as using cm7 on other phones will (for the most part) be the same directions.

ok now im on a stock rooted rom, i backed up and removed the tetheringmanger.apk using titanium. now my computer says it has internet but wont load pages.
Wow you're just not getting a break, are you?
Try downloading a tethering app off the market like barnacle.

Maybe try someone else's computer.
On the off chance your pc's have been set up a certain way for network access.
*I just thought of as I was typing this, what wireless networks are around you? You may be getting ip conflicts between the networks*
