WIFI tether works on 3D - HTC EVO 3D

FYI tried Barnacle WIFI Tether from the market with the temp root n it works!
also confirming this version method as well
Thanks to wrxtc714 over at www.therootofallevo.com
After you have rooted your phone you can now install the latest wifi tether app
Source: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
The copy that is on the google code site does not work
use the one wrxtc714 uploaded here
Download:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6786574/Wifitether.apk
Once you have the wifi-tether app installed
click on the icon to get the app running
(it will give you some errors but just ignore them)
Select
Menu
Settings
Change Device Profile
Scroll through the list and choose EVO 4G
you can now start tethering
You may need to start and stop the tethering a couple times and after that it will work fine

i think it needs to ping the network first before beconning the network.. so since yours is unactivated try going into settings and check "don't wait for data connection." maybe that'll help.. works on mine.
Can anyone else confirm that barnacle works ?

Got it working now, +1

any other wifi tether apps working besides barnacle?

I've only tried the old wifi tether... and it was no go. My nook will connect to adhoc, and laptop are cool with it. I use barnacle as it was, since wifi tether would never work in CM7 on the evo 4G for me

Barnacle works ! check box "dont wait for data connection"

With 4g unfortunately it doesn't. tried the different methods of connecting to a web page etc.. first... at least 3g works

well u can't use pdanet on your i-pad-ipod- i-crap anything and with barnacle u don't have to buy anything or install anything on the device your trying to connect it to. u could also try this app http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/ [root required] no extra software to install on the pc it just works.

it doesn't just work. haus put this script together that'' give you temp root http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18734200/3DROOT-4.zip you have to have usb debugging enabled in your phone plugged into your pc and run the fr3vo bat file. more info in his thread here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135100&page=167

Google wifi tether did not work. I tried barnacle tether and itmworked great.

nice!
Thanks! I never had a problem with wifi tether on my EVO 4G, but it doesn't work on the 3D with the Fre3vo temp root. Barnacle is working fine for me. Tested it using 3g, as I have no 4g signal at my house.

anyone know when and if we'll have a wifi tether alternative besides barnacle? not all my devices see the ad-hoc network.. but they did on googles wifi tether on the OG Evo..?

barnacle wifi no go
no matter what i do i cant get barnacle wifi to work with my evo 3d,I've read the threads and done everything including switching my phone between usb tether charge only,disk only and so on...keeps sayin cannot connect.
I am rooted,anyone have any ideas or maybe know of another app that works?
thanks Keith

[Q] USB Tether on atrix?

anyone know how to do this? was standard on my WM device..
+1 interested in this as well.
Have you tried http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/ ?
Don't know if it works with this but give it a shot. Back up first...

Moved as not android development
A 'friend' has an Atrix that is rooted and has the APN fix that allows you to tether it via Wifi.. 'He' let me install this app (v1.4) on 'his' Atrix, seems to work fine. Prompts for root access to start and disable tethering. Also allows you to select the subnet used for the network connection.
My only concern would be does this show up as 'tethering' to ATT??

Prob not as it's just rerouting wifi traffic through the regular wap.cingular apn (as opposed to isp.cingular for tethering). As long as you don't have unusually high data usage, you should be able to slip under the wire.

I tried it. You have to modify the kernel to support RNDIS on the Atrix - which I'm not about to do, so...no go...wish I did have something like that though...I don't want something that requires a client-side app to interface....

You need to read the whole thread. Your phone needs to be rooted and usb debug mode has to be off. Once you have your phone connected to your computer via usb and you run the app, your computer should receive an ip address from the phone as if you're plugged in to a router (which your phone technically is). No need to set up a dial-up networking connection.

Anyone able to use wifi hotspot for root users with the new radio?

Subject pretty much says it all. I haven't been able to get any third party tethering apps to work with the new radio. Post your apps and the configuration you are using if it works for you
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Works for me on new radio, BAMF 1.8.6, wifi tether 2.0.7
Oh I'm glad it's just me. Can I ask what settings you are using? Adhoc or ap? Using encryption?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I am using encryption and have access control on, and that's the only changes I made if I recall correctly. I have hardly used it, just wanted it set up on the phone so I'd have it in case of an outage because I only have 3G here. But I was able to connect to it from a tablet and browse to the Google website.

Using the newest radio, Das BAMF 1.8.6, kernel listed in sig, Mobile Hotspot works fine. I can test out WiFi Tether if you would like me to.

Can't complain about that.
Using Open Garden WiFi Tether (encrypted), BAMF 2.1, loaded the new radio earlier and it's working fine.
Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 and today's radio, wifi-tether 2.0.8-pre1 works fine for me, but 3.1-beta1 does not work (it seems to be a wifi connection issue, not an LTE radio issue)
Distinction between Hotspot and wifi tether
Can we make a distinction between the built in Hotspot app and the Wifi tether?
I can use Wifi Tether with the new radio but I can not use the Hotspot as it tells me to contact VZW to activate it.
The question I think for me is this... Is there any way to use the Hotspot built into the radio when rooted or do you have to revert back to old rooted rom and the old mr1 radio (original radio)?
Wifi tether is working fine for me on the new radio as long as you set your screen to never lock.
I had better results with easy tether though via usb. Both seemed to work though. I'm running cm7 rc1.2

Using 3.0 pre14 and it works on my end. I have "Routing Fix: Enable Routing-Fix (for HTC Devices)" selected.
My tethering was not working on the new radio...restarted a few times and now it works....I love it when things fix themselves, but I hate not knowing what was wrong
No go for me...
I am still on BAMF 1.6.3 at the moment because it has been so stable.
I can understand why the official VZW Mobile Hotspot app no longer works (without paying for it) because they are now charging for it.
However, I would love to know what sets that app apart from something like WiFi Tether. I have tried just about every version of that app, up to and including the new 3.1 Beta, and it just will not work for me. Neither my Xoom or my iPad 2 will connect. I do not understand how it works so well for others and not me. When I could get it to work, it would connect for a few minutes tops, and then the up/down counters would reset to 0 and my tethered device would drop.
What makes the native VZW mobile hotspot app so inherently more stable? I have a separate VZW 4G "MiFi" device I pay for and use, but there sure are times when the convenience of it on my phone would be nice, just not $30 a month nice.
If anyone has any ideas on what I could be doing wrong, please let me know. I think I am going to try BAMF 1.8.6 and a new radio, but I am not holding my breath.
Thanks,
-Rob

Unfortunately I do not believe this is Verizon's "Mobile Hot spot" .. This was inherently part of the functionality of the phone as it was built.
Verizon basically pushed another version of the wifi hotspot down that disables it unless it checks and validates you are paying them $30 a month.
The facts are they were sued back in the Motorola V710 days for crippling Bluetooth and this is no different.
They were sued also for crippling the GPS on the Samsung omnia when they were trying to make people pay for their Navigator.
Give it some time and they will be sued again.
In the meantime I am just going to keep using wifi tether for free and if they want to end my service contract ... so be it.

CM7 and 2.5 radio -wifi tether not working
The MR 2.5 radio caused several WiFi tethering apps for root to not work. I went back to MR 2 radio and it is working again.
I'm using CM7 RC1.3
I spoke too soon. With the MR2 radio now tethering still fails to work. Device can connect but they act like they fail to receive DNS entries and connection to the Internet never works. This might be due to Verizon's check to see if paying for tethering is on?
Im using MR2 OTA not the leaked one. Works fine for me. Mobile hotspot is dead do to the account check . Only thing ive noticed is a Nat issue. All will connect and run fine. but if i try to join a VOIP host lets say i cant. Gives me a Nat issue error. But all else works fine and has from day one. If you keep having a issue id reflash everything. Ive had problems going from one verison of a tethering app to another. Prolly due to the loaded configs. Ive got 3 TBs i test on and they all are on diffrent roms (same MR2 OTA radio though). But Back to the Nat Issue. I have OGdroids that do not have the NaT issues my TBs have. So its Rom or Kernel issue and not Tower Side. As far as i can tell anyways. Sorry i cant help more.( and you might try Dling a Fresh copy of whatever tethering app you use. Or try Barnacle and tell it not to load configs
I'm having intermittent NAT issues as well, including with Barnacle tether. It seems pretty random. Last night I was able to stream a Netflix movie via the mobile hotspot in CM7 but couldn't with Barnacle. This morning neither tethering apps would work. Radios I have flashed: 1.39.00.0528w, 0.01.69.0602w_1
I'm thinking this is Verizon's doing?

[Q] root att galaxy s 2 tether issue

stock rom, only delete original tether apk which att put restriction on it.
it won't work with encryption on, open access is fine.
security only have two option: open or WPA2PSK.
any one have some issue, any fix?
is it due to rom problem or root problem?
No problem with WPA2 PSK. You really don't want ot use any other encryption.
my encryption doesn't work well with my ps3 so I use open too
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
looks like encrypted tether is working for some one.
any idea why some device is not working? due to lack of tether plan?
for root phone, if just copy other tether apk to it, will it work?
Mine is rooted and tethering manager removed just like yours.
The problem is probably with your other devices that try to use the wi-fi hotspot. They are not compatible with your phone. Do they all support the WPA2 PSK encrytion? I'm not sure if the phone is using WPA2 AES encryption or WPA2 TKIP encryption.
Use letters and numbers for the password if you don't do it already.
That fixed it for me when it it didn't worked, well was on a Xperia Arc but should work for you, too.

Hey thanks for redirecting me to your recent thread and find on the subject.
I uninstalled the old version of wifi tether 3.0 b5 and downloaded the 3.0b11 from the official google site. I tried selecting the device profile you had mentioned whilst testing from home and a laptop (I only have 3g until I leave my apartment at the moment) -BUT....
It appears that I am able to connect and be tethered via Droid Razr (CDMA/LTE) profile but - as unsecure.
If I re-select "auto" profile - I can view my photon from my laptop as secured with the 13 key passphrase. Prompted to enter the key via my windows laptop (vista business 32)
I tried changing the method from "AUTO to WPA_SUPPLICANT" but neither made a difference... (in the Droid Razr CDMA/LTE device profile) but this still shows as unsecure.
I left everything else "as is" by default on the apk.
Running stock photon sprint with shabby's AIO root.
Am I missing something?
I want to make sure that part is clear before trying out the "4g" bit when leaving my apartment to the areas I can get 4g coverage - wouldn't want to keep an unsecure photon tether going on
Hopefully, it is something I really overlooked. The tethering works (meaning I can browse via both the "auto and droid razr-cdma/lte device profiles", but the latter keeps showing up as unsecure. I did "reboot my phone" as you had suggested to another member here.
Thanks - just wanted to share this part for now.

after i check a couple of things, still no infrastructure but 4g and 3g works fine without turning off or anything, maybe xbox had an update to support ad-hoc or whatever, all i know is that when i changed the profile tethering worked like it was suppose to...aside from no infrastructure still -_-

JB WiFi Tether | EVO

I was finally able to get WiFi Tether working on JB, after months of trying.
Thought I would share my results.
Running Superuser v1.25 (from Play Store)
Running WiFi Tether for Root Users v3.2 beta 2 (from Play Store)
Stock Rooted Kernel
ROM: Stock w Goodies
My Settings:
Leave all settings Default except the following:
Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Enable WiFi-Encryption
Use a 13 character Passphrase (IMPORTANT!)
WiFi-driver Reload
MSS Clamping
Routing Fix
Bingo! It works!
It would not work without using a 13 character password. I never noticed the error message about this.
I used a simple pa55word12345 as a test.
Hope this helps some of you.
I've been using TrevEMod wifi for a while now and it works
TrevEMod
I'm on meanbean and works fine non encrypted

Mine works as well. I have been using MeanBean and Viper4g and never had an issue. I did check routingfix and mss clamping though.
TrevEMod wifi Tether works for for me on the latest MeanBean, without having to set a password. Just select MSS Clamping, Wifi Driver Reload, and Routing Fix and I'm all set

The method in post #109 also works for me

Can you guys get it to work with LTE? I've only gotten it to work once testing by speedtest.net. The other times I'm getting 3g speeds even though my phone has 4g. I tested the phone speed and received 4g speeds while my tethered laptop received 3g speeds.

Are you using the native hotspot? I certainly have gotten it to tether on 4G.
And to the OP, I've gotten it to work simply by changing the Device Profile to wlan0. It starts and stops properly for me. No WiFi clamping or Routing fix selected, with an 8 char passphrase.

I tried it with both. I was only successful once using WiFi Tether. I will test more at a later time.

Similar situation on this end... more or less resolved. Phone tends to default to 3G, even in the presence of good LTE signal.
1: Open settings, Mobile Data, toggle to CDMA only, wait for 3G icon to disappear on status bar, toggle back to CDMA/LTE,
2: With Mobile Data on and phone stable, reboot. Phone connects to 4G LTE after boot cycle.
These work for me only when the phone is in its place on the windowsill, seemingly glued to 3G. Note: I live in Baltimore with generally good LTE coverage. I would like to be able to change connection priorities in EPST so that the phone's prefered data connection is to LTE, but I haven't found and tricks to do that.

sorry my english is not good
cant get it to download from play store ...how do i get it to download
I had a similar problem as I described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147070
It would work perfectly after a reboot, but only once. So, every time I needed it, which wasn't that often, I would reboot the phone.
I'm not using sense anymore so I can use the built-in tether app if I need to.
Sorry, I wish I had a solution for you. Good luck!

I think that is only for Android 4.2.2.
I have a sense Rom, with s-off, couldn't get stock to work. Flashed a new flash Rom. Tried tons of ways with several versions of WiFi tether. Finally found a WiFi tether treve mod used the first generic ICS/JB and auto set-up on the method type... Boom I finally have it working. Using 4G LTE no problems..

Thanks man, I used those settings and it finally worked. Maybe it wouldn't work before because of the Setup method they kept telling me to use. But I left it default like you said and it worked.
It worked for me every time i used it. Only problem I have is that it makes my laptop go blue screen every time i connect it to my phone and my phone only. I have to use Klink just to tether to my laptop. It works on every other phone with my laptop. My laptop worked on my Evo 3D wifi tether too.
