Lets say you want to share the internet from your new (rooted) photon to one of those super sweet Xoom tablets or other device that doesn't like to connect to an ad-hoc network (PS3, Touchpad, etc...) Well you can either mod the device so it plays nice with ad-hoc (in the case of the Xoom you can use the link in my signature) or you can mod your phone to put out an infrastructure network signal.
So without any more talk... download the newest Wifi-Tether 3.0
Go into settings and change:
Device profile - Nexus One
Setup Method - Netd (master)
And there you go!
Super simple and easy solution.
Remember the thanks button!
Doesnt work when u activate wifi tethering it somehow activates the stock tethering an then says mobile ip reg error an reboots the phone.....

Works fine for me...for a bit. It piped up with "wireless tether has been granted super user permissions" after it had been tethered for a good deal if time with but only 16mb of data transfer. Then it locked up my radio and wireless.

There is an EASIER and BETTER way ti get Free WIreless Tether for the Xoon AND HP Touchpad:
Goto Amazon Free Apps and download (for free) Tethering Widget. Install as a Widget and you are off and running with free wireless tether. Did this on my Photon and my wife's Photon with no issues. Works flawlessly. The Works on XOOM and HP TOUCHPAD. Enter a SSID (or keep default)>change to WPA2 PSK>Enter Password> Change to Channel 11. And both devices will will recogize the NEW Free Wireles Tether. Awesome.

I don't have 4G here in my little neck of the woods so I haven't been able to test it. As I understand it you need to start with 3G and then turn on 4G, but I haven't tested it at all (just read about it.)
I hope it works tethering 4G would be very nice.

To get the 3.0 version just download the 4shared app from market and search "wifi-tether". Also after that search just search for "apk " to see more results.

There have been reports in other forums of connectivity issues when using the mobile hotspot (verizon provisioned). Some of the reports have indicated that verizon and motorola are aware of the issue related to MTU setting.
Personally, my laptops are able to connect and work properly, but my Kindle Fire is only able to connect with limited success. i.e. downloading books works but most web browsing fails (hangs forever trying to load page). Cloud music also works. But apps don't download.
I've checked the maximum MTU without fragementation and it seems that the verizon mobile hotspot fragments over 1400bytes while my home wifi fragments over 1500bytes.
I created this post because I haven't seen other similar post on xda-developers and wanted others to be aware of this issue that I've heard also affects ipads, ipods, and macbooks.
Kindle connectivity
Hi,
I also had problems staying connected with the Kindle. I was able to solve the problem by making the DHCP IP setting on the Razr start at x.x.x.50 instead of 1 or 2. I've never had a problem since.
I hope this helps
Hi guys, I had the same issues while using Verizons hotspot . I could only connect to some sites like craigslist and google, other sites like Yahoo and cars.Com would not connect. The fix I found was to install wifi tether from the market, open and before connecting open settings (under menu), then checking "routing fix". That took care of all my connection problems. Let me know if that helps. P.S. give me a thanks if it works out.

Like I said in the general thread of cm9... barnacle or wifi tether are third party apps... only can create ad-hoc networks that Android by default can't see... for the tf-101 there is a modded wpa_supplicant that can make the tablet "see" ad-hoc networks so you can connect to it....
PS: the reason of why cm7 stock tethering works if cz android stock tethering creates an infrastructure network.... and the reason of why only honeycomb tablets can't see ad-hoc networks is cz they don't have CyanogenMod... and cm have this feature enabled

Sorry dude it's for my fellow countryman..
Here in Philippines we have 3 or 4 apn that our service provider sends us.
1. "yourprovider"GPRS - this one is set with the proxy i.p adress.
2. "yourprovider" Internet - the one with the minternet at apn
3. mms
4. blah blah and others
i once tried to use the connection 1 and share it with wifi tether. Sure there is a wifi hotspot but there are no connections. I thought i can share 0.facebook to my computer. like free fb with my pc browser. and it fails
so i tried to top up a load and use connection 2 with the "minternet". and it works.

this reply comes to you by way of Wifi Tether Beta14... hit the menu and choose Generic ICS under device profile.... i've always had good luck hitting menu again while in settings and "reload binaries" after choosing that device... sometimes i change the LAN settings to a different IP.. (especially with PS3) any change i make is followed by "reload binaries." don't know if it's necessary just a habit ive gotten used to.... either way, im tethered as i type this (stock rooted.. stock rooted unlocked... viper rom) all have worked...

Hello all,
From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?
Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
Thank you.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

Vpn shield is an app in market
It's used to block T-Mobile from seeing any tether being pulled from carriers data .
It's essentially used with trevemod.
If you don't start Vpn shield before tethering eventually tmobile will catch on and block it.
Really it's good for people on any data especially unlimited . Allows you to tether as much as you want with out detection.
