How do you guys do wireless tether with this phone? Whenever I try to use the Wireless Tether app, it creates an ad hoc network that I can't get my laptop to connect to. When my friend uses the same app with his evo, I have no problems connecting to it. Something about it having an infrastructure mode?
So, my question is, what do you guys use/do to successfully wirelessly tether to this phone?
Barnacle wifi tether if you insist on wifi tethering; or you could use Easy Tether for wired, but i believe it needs to be sideloaded
On a related note (sorry, don't mean to hijack), does the stock OTA 2.2 have the same tether tracking as the leaked version from earlier this year? I really don't want to pay the extra fee for something I'll use less than once a month.

Currently I use wireless tethering installed from the Market to tether my phone. If a cable is on hand, is wired tether a preferred method? I'm running CyanogenEris v1.1 and noticed under Settings->Wireless & Network Settings there is a checkbox for Internet Tethering. How do I set this up?
Thanks in advance.

Wired I think is better because it helps keep you phone charged and tethering eats up your battery. Wireless is best for other mobile devices. Like I use it with an iPad, Zune, and other stuff.
Can somebody running CyanogenEris tell me how they wire tether? Before I rooted, I used pdanet. After flashing CyanogenEris I cannot seem to get it to work. Can somebody confirm, or tell me this was merely operator error.
I want to use the wireless tether in my SGS3, but unfortunately, mi laptop only supports 802.11b/g, while the SGS3 also supports 802.11n. I can't connect from my laptop to the SGS3. The laptop "sees" the wifi hotspot and displays the settings of the hotspot as "802.11n", but it can't connect. I suppose the culprit is the wifi standard used.
Anyone has tried the built-in wireless tether in the SGS3?
Anyone has tried another wireless tether app?
I have tried Wireless Tether for root users and it doesn't work.
By the way, my phone is rooted.
Thanks.
I do not have a tethering plan and I know about creating a new APN with the epc, but when I go into my Mobile Hotspot to do the tethering to my iPad, it says Error under the words Mobile Hotspot after I turn it on (I can still connect to the Internet on my phone with this error message)
My iPad can see my phones tethering connection under the WiFi connection choices and my phone shows me as being a connected User under users. I just cannot actually get on the Internet on my ipad with the Mobile Hotspot tether. I can get in the Internet still on my phone using the new APN.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another work around or way to tether FREE to my iPad using my phones Internet?
(I also tried a third party app called FoxFi and same thing happens where my iPad sees it as a connection access point but I cannot actually get on the Internet at all)
(Also what is Bluetooth Tethering?)
TIA!
Don't mess with that worthless mobile-hotspot app...
Just install WiFi Tether for Root Users from the Play Store, use the APN settings listed below, and go with it....
Can we get some tethering support going on here?
I think The Base has it, but my phone refuses to boot that ROM for some reason.

If you have root, you can get Barnacle from the Play Store.
Root then dl WiFi tether no problems on att

I had problems with unauthorized tethering on my iPhone (used to get the warning messages to cease or they would switch my grandfathered in "unlimited" data plan). then I just used pdanet and set it to hide the tether and had no problems.
now with android I've got pdanet again which uses foxfi for the wifi tether. foxfi hides the tether with an addon that also requires you to setup a proxy connection (your android) on your computer.
Just got easy tether on my n200 today, i plan on tethering it to my linux pc and setting up a wireless access point on that pc, through which all my devices will connect to the internet.
On my old Galaxy Note 3, I was able to do this easily, as I could simply use the regular tethering option then create a hotspot connection on linux. I could get faster speeds just by changing the TTL to 65 on the tethered pc. On these newer phones, however, it's much harder to bypass carrier tether throttling, so I have to use easy tether instead.
I'm not 100% sure how it works, but its different from regular usb tethering, as a result i'm unable to create the standard hotspot connection in linux. Also tried sharing internet on Windows, but it says that I'm not connected to the internet. Any ideas on how to do this?
