Did you look user settings/more or more settings...
Should be a USB tethering option..

There is usually a tethering option....
What rom are you on( Android version if you're stock )....
And pdanet will work on tablets... I use it on my tablet for fast file transfer... but I've never tried tethering.. but it should work...
If you can't find a tethering option... in settings and you're stock unrooted... I'm not sure what the next move is..
But I'll look around... might be later as I'm at work...

Yup on stock android 4.1.2 and unrooted.
Pdanet keeps saying please connect your phone to the computer but it is already connected and not getting detected by PdaNet. I am going in 3 hours so not much time left.

Isn't FoxFi and PdaNet the same? I see Pdanet option in the FoxFi app with activate usb mode or activate bluetooth mode but I tired that before and those don't work.

So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

Whats not working? The link or the app?
If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

Tried the following:
Old Wireless Tether
New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.
Yea, but i read that new wireless tether beta app, the dev was wanting to get it where it can support infrastructure mode, but only a few phones would be worked on....idk if its still in the works or not...

Yeah, I had no issues at all with WiFi tether. It has worked on every single android device I have ever had. Optimus, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and the Rezound. I have tried every single version he has made to boot! Never had any issues.
Could it be the device looking for the hook is not seeing it because its ad-hoc on here?

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.

Hi, I'm using an unlocked Samsung i777 outside the US. But the fact that wifi tethering is not working. Every time when I try to enable it, it says "mobile data not available or invalid sim".
3G/HSDPA connecton fine and SIMcard has a data plan and I can even use usb tethering.
How can I make it work? Phone is rooted.
I am using hellraised stock Rom XWLA4. When was UCKH7 also not working.
In system/app have 3 app wifi 1.0, wifi sharing 1.0, wifi sharing manager 1.0. I tried to freeze them, no luck.
Thanks.
Either wifi tethering is broken on XWLA4 (I haven't played with it myself yet), or something about the CSC or apns-conf.xml doesn't work with your carrier.
Hellraiser is designed under the assumption that only AT&T customers would subject themselves to the carrier-mangling of the I777 and as such, includes an AT&T-tuned CSC. There's a possibility that you need to remove all of the CSC files from the Hellraiser zip and wipe/reflash. It's either that or XWLA4 is busted.
Hahah lol...dud even I had exactly the same concern. Its not a big problem Jus download FoxFi from Android Market and voila! It will take away ur pain It enables the WiFi hotspot tethering like a charm without any problem. Its free..Jus type the above name in Android market and install. Then open the app and touch on Activate WiFi hotspot. Its done. Let me know bout it. TC.

Third-party tethering apps are not a solution unless there is no way to fix native tethering. Most of not all of them put the device into adhoc mode, which is incompatible with many devices.

I do agree, I have tried foxfi before but it will hang and force close uninstalled and reinstalled the app with same results. I have uninstalled tethering provision app on rooted stock ics but then again when I start the native wifi hotspot it just hang for several seconds the force close saying the application setting has stopped. Now I just remember installing this foxfi app again upon reading this thread and am now happy it works and I can now tether thru wifi hotspot with my phone. Having a solution to the native phone wifi hotspot though is pretty sweet. I don't know if the uninstalling of the tethering provision app has help but at least I have a functional wifi hotspot now.

I was searching for answers for my HotSpot problem and found this thread.....I'm piggy backing because it remains open even though maybe resolved - hope that is ok?
I couldn't seem to get my Hotspot to work and so I downloaded FoxFi. It seems to send a signal fine, and my iPad sees the SSID fine. My phone shows Connected: my mac address- duration - ipad's ip address but when I try to go to a web site my ipad show the following error dialog:
Cannot Open Page
Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet
Thoughts anyone?
Yer not asking us to help you trouble shoot something that isn't even running the Android operating system are you? Cause obviously that'd be silly to do in a forum like this. Does the tethering work with your computer? If so its a problem with the Apple product you're talking about and should be addressed in their forums.

How did you do it ? I have the same problem . Is it possible you could instruct me in plain English to what these codes mean ?
Hi all,
I have recently bought my Galaxy S2 and I am trying to install apps from android market. I log in to my Gmail account on PC internet and connect my S2 with PC. Then I chose the free app like Angry birds to be installed. Now on the webpage it shows below the app this message: "This app is compatible with your AirTel Samsung GT-I9100.", which means my phone is connected and compatible.
Then I clicked on the install button and a pop up appeared saying that the application will be installed [or downloaded] to your device shortly. But after that nothing happened. I waited for a long time and there is nothing on my S2. I checked the Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications, and it doesn't show anything there.
I am NOT connected to internet on my mobile, because I want to utilize my PC internet which is broadband. I have not enabled any other setting on S2 before doing this. I have only enabled the Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources option for convenience. Even the USB debugging is also disabled.
Can someone please let me know what I am missing? Or if there are any other additional settings that I need to do? Please help guys, I am pretty new with this android stuff...
Thanks in advance...!!!

Yes you need internet connection on your phone also, you cannot install it via the pc's broadband connection. Do one thing download connectify and make your pc as a wifi hotspot and then connect to the hotspot and then begin downloading.

HTC can't lock any WiFi because HTC is the phone manufacturer. The software is android os with HTC sense on top. HTC sense however is from HTC but sprint modifies it to fit there needs. However I'm really puzzled at your ???? Can you please explain a little more as to what your asking??? Thanks

the new pdanet 3.5 has wifi but it doesn't work on htc
So does anyone know why Pdanet wifi doesn't work on HTC?
I responded before and pda net pro does work with the HTCevo3d. If your having issues its probably your setup. The free ver of pda net will only allow you to visit certain websites but you can't log into any paid sites or ceck email, etc. It basically just let's you browse the web for reading. You have to install the pro ver for full web access and install the pro version drivers as well. Then you have to correctly setup the app on the phone and on the pc.

Pretty sure it might be a legal issue or something, but I don't know.
When installing PDAnet on the computer it asks which device you use so it can install the custom drivers, I wonder if you choose the "Im not sure option" if that would change the way the program is installed. Gonna try that here soon.... didn't work :/
I also wonder if you can change the device name or something that way the app could think it was running on a moto device instead of good ole htc, making the wifi hotspot work.
But you will probably need root to do this, making other options like flashing a rom with built in support the way to go.

well I always assumed that drivers are related to hardware so I didn't think that you could use other drivers. I was wondering what people knew about the block, so I could hold out some hope that later versions would get there

Well, rooting isn't that hard. You don't have to switch roms when you root. You can back up everything just in case. Just root and go with the app Wifi Tether.
Also, there is an easier temp root out for the Evo 3d here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152101.
After completing the process, your phone will be rooted until you turn it off. You could do that, and then the Wifi Tether app should work until your device is shut off. I haven't personally used this method though, so I'm not 100% sure it will work.
Yes wifi tether is awesome, im use that everday at home and turned off my house internet, they have a 3.1 beta13 out and it works perfect!!!! BTW you have to go in the settings and than check the routing fix, make sure you do that or it wont work right, I have good reception for 4g, but it the best!!!
I'm on the Infinity ROM and looking to use my phone as a wifi adapter. I used to be able to just disable Mobile Data and turn on usb tethering but this ROM seems to automatically turn off wifi when I turn on tethering. Is there any way to get around this? I'd like to at least get to use it to tether if not as a native adapter(connect to wifi from computer instead of setting it up on phone).

Not using your particular ROM. Nor will the majority of people reading this thread. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to ask in the support thread for that custom ROM?
Alternately, what you are trying to do is usually referred to as reverse tethering.
So look in the Play store for reverse tethering apps e.g. this or this.

The OP prolly can't post in development threads due to post count.
And what they want is NOT reverse tethering. Reverse tethering is using the computer internet on the phone. Meaning, the phone does not have a data connection or a wifi connection and wants to obtain internet through the USB port (meaning computer)
What the OP described is the proper way to tether the WiFi connection of the phone to the computer. Not sure why its turning off his WiFi.
OP, if you turn on USB tethering and disable data, then turn on wifi, what happens?

You are correct that I can't post in the development thread because of post count.
When I try turning wifi back on after turning on tethering it gets a popup saying that turning on wifi turns off usb tethering.

I'm actually able to post now so I posted in their thread to see if they could tell me how to fix it.
Otherwise do you have any ROMs to recommend that have wifi tethering available?
