Has anyone tried this on the Atrix, I saw that pdanet supports BT tethering but does the Atrix itself have the BT DUN functionality, i'm at work right now and can't test it but would like to know if anyone else has, cuz wifi tethering tends to eat up battery faster.
if you check int he config files it does, have it but its turned off, you can manually turn it on, but i dont know how you would use it from than on.

I have recently rooted my droid Eris that was on 2.1 via OTA. I then dropped the Vanilla Rom on top of it. i used Wireless tethering for 1st time today and the WEP function wasnt working as other computers connected to it. Any idea why not working, also now it keeps hanging on starting/stopping when turning tethering. finally when I turn on Access Control I get Force close issues.
I believe there is a known bug with trying to enable WEP with Wireless Tether for Root. I would say just disable WEP (i dont know if you have to uninstall/reinstall) and just turn on Access Control.
Use the access control to specify which MAC addresses can connect to the access point.
Ok, thanks I will try that out.
coudlnt get it working with WEP either. but disabled, everything runs fine. drains the battery and sets it on fire tho! just a minute ago it got up to 47.8 C
Hi everyone .. I'm having issues tethering with my a70it through a rooted HTC Dream (G1) with Cyanogen 6.1
I have installed Wireless Tether for root users, and it works fine over wifi with my laptop, but my a70it doesn't see it using wifi, and its a bloody batery sucker.
So I've tried using BT. I change Wireless Tether to use BT, pair de archos and then in options I see the phone ready for tethering. I set it up and when I click on "Tether" I've found two different problems.
Sometimes it just stays "connecting" for a while then says it's impossible to connect, and sometime it connects, I can browse using navigator for some seconds, but then, without doing anything I get network error and I can't use internet anymore... though it stays connected (the little phone in the a70 taskbar keeps showing).
Anyone had this kind of problems? Is there any workaround to make it work?
Thanks!
Moved to general as not rom development
Try this Wireless tether apk, it is a older version and it works perfect for me on my incredible and on my wife moto2.
I have a once rooted (I say once because I'm not sure it still is after doing the OTA updates) that has the APN for tethering. Tethering works fine.
The problem is that when I change the APN back to use AT&T US I don't think the phone is disabling tethering. The reason I think this is because I am running JuiceDefender and it shows that Tether is on. Additionally, the battery life is much shorter than usual and the phone is warm to the touch even when it is just sitting there in standby.
Any ideas on how I can confirm that tethering is indeed still running and/or how I can truly turn it off?
I have tried rebooting the phone, selecting AT&T US Tether (so that I get the message saying that I don't have tethering on my plan) and have tried disabling and re-enabling JuiceDefender.
If you scan for wifi networks does your tether network actually show up?
Nope, I don't see it. It's almost like the phone thinks it needs to keep the cell data connection alive so that it can provide tethering, but without actually providing it.
I just flashed OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 for my Bell Atrix, and the hotspot is enabled, but I can't use my laptop or my i9000 to connect this hotspot, it just keep connecting...scanning...obtaining IP address...disconnected...scanning..
What is wrong with my atrix?
And the GPS seems doesn't work too.

havent heard of this error before. im using the same sbf and as far as i can tell everything is working fine.
I know you dont wanna hear this, but how about a factory reset?
I did everything I can, wipe, flash radios, flash u4_1.4.2, but it doesn't get any help.

It sounds like its a bad encryption passphrase.
I've witnessed bugs in the Wireless tethering on other versions of android.
Couple things you may want to try with tethering turned off:
1. Turn off your Wi-Fi and then enable your wireless tethering(Wi-Fi Hotspot).
2. Turn on your Wi-Fi and then enable your wireless tethering(Wi-Fi Hotspot).
3. After enabling wireless tethering adjust your Wi-Fi hotspot settings. (Perhaps try no encryption or changing the encryption type and/or passphrase)
On my backflip running CM7 from Jr0dd I used to be able to use USB tethering while the phone is connected via wifi with airplane mode on ( in essence turning my phone into a really overdone USB Wlan stick )
On the Atrix with airplane mode on, turning on tethering over USB, everything seems to go okay. The phone can get online via my works wifi router fine. my tethered computer can't ping IP addresses or domain names through terminal though. Rebooted the phone and restarted tethering with the same results. If I disable airplane mode and shut off wifi, tethering over 3G / H+ works fine, its just slow and noisy on speakers.
I used this for computers that have an iffy Wlan card often and would like to know if this was never intended to work, only was a fluke that it did, or if I can show a logcat or similar so someone smarter than I can investigate the issue.
Thanks in advance. =)
