What does this application do? This program enables tethering (via wifi and bluetooth) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode) or bluetooth and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection or (in case you are using bluetooth) the wifi connection which is established by the handset. What is this root thing and how do I get it? Root means more power over your device. This is useful, but can also be a security risk, so it's disabled in the retail Android distribution. You can find instructions on how to get it for the HTC Dream / G1 here. How do I install the program? For Android 1.5 (cupcake) users you can either download it directly on your phone or look it up in the Market. For Android 1.1 users make sure you download version 0.97.1 from here. I have an old version installed and get an error-message when trying to update the app. What's wrong? Some custom roms come with a pre-installed version of "Wireless Tether". If that version is located on the "system"-partition the update-process will fail. The "system"-partition is read-only and needs to be remounted (with write-premission) before removing the old app manually. Why do I get the message "No Netfilter" on startup? This means that the Linux kernel on your device does not have the features (CONFIG_NETFILTER, CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC) required for tethering. Why does the "access-control"-feature not work or is disabled. If the feature "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing the "access control"-feature will not work correctly (you will see a "failed"-status in "Show log" for "Enabling access control"). To detect if all kernel-option were enabled in your current kernel the following kernel-options should be enabled: CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IKCONFIG, and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PRO. This dumps the current kernel-config to /proc/config.gz. If you have an ADP G1, please read ADP15KernelUpdate (or ADP16KernelUpdate if you're using Donut), otherwise you will need to find a firmware/kernel with these features. For the Nexus One phone, see NexusOneKernelUpdate. The developers of Wireless Tether are unable to help with other types of devices (but donations of hardware/etc would help ;) Constantly Disconnecting? Why does WEP-encryption not work on my phone? Wireless interfaces of almost all HTC-devices which are sold by HTC (these devices are coming with the so called "Sense" user interface) don't seem to support WEP-encryption in ad-hoc mode. We developers don't have such devices available for testing. So, if you have found any solution regarding this problem - please let us know. Why won't tethering start on my phone? First, check that you have root permissions. When you open Wifi Tether for Root Users, you should see a message warning you if you do not have root permissions. However, you may still want to check the steps here and make sure you have done them or something like them to obtain root permissions. If you have root permissions, but still cannot start tethering, it may be an issue with either the tethering binaries or your tethering settings. From the main tether screen, try going to Menu->Setup->Menu->Reinstall binaries/configs. What keeps killing tethering or turning wifi/GPS on during tether? It's probably another application. The most common we've seen causing this issue is ShopSavvy. To prevent this from happening, open the Shop Savvy application and go to Settings->Privacy. If you see a "Find my location" setting and it is currently on, turn it off. My computer is having trouble connecting! What can I do? Check whether your operating system and wireless card support ad-hoc connections. Ubuntu is known to have poor support for these types of connections, for instance. If you think your OS is not the issue, it may be an issue with either the tethering binaries or your tethering settings. From the main tether screen, try going to Menu->Setup->Menu->Reinstall binaries/configs. If that still doesn't resolve your issue, it may be a problem with your allowed clients or security settings. Start tethering and connect your laptop. then from the main tether screen, go Menu->Setup. If "Activate Access-Control" is already checked, either uncheck it or check the entry below containing your laptop's MAC address. If "Activate Access-Control" was unchecked originally, try checking it and checking the entry below containing your laptop's MAC address. Windows 7 won't connect. What could be wrong? We have some reports issue 244 that some intel-wifi-cards are making troubles joining ad-hoc-networks. I driver-update solved this issue. I'm running JF's-Firmware (1.4x) but tethering doesn't start or my phone hangs! JF's firmware comes with an application called Superuser Whitelist. This application has an error which sometimes prevents programs from being able to acquire root-permission, even when the user tells it to give them! See the bug report. You can first try simply opening Superuser Whitelist and removing the entry for "android.tether". If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Android Wifi Tether and installing it again. If you are lucky enough (this issue happens and/or is fixed randomly) you will no longer experience this issue! |
Hi!. On Ubuntu 9.04 Support. It does work but for some reason encryption does not. If you are using an atheros card use the ath5k driver. Otherwise it appears you need to follow the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
@all: problems can't be discussed here! Please file an issue: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/entry
Ubuntu eee users having problems using this application, will need the following code to put the card into adhoc mode, and activate tethering:
$ cat TetherAndroid?.sh
#!/bin/sh # Usage: ./TetherAndroid.sh start to start tethering # ./TetherAndroid.sh stop to return the system to normal if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop sudo ifconfig ath0 down sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc #sudo iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc sudo iwconfig ath0 channel 6 sudo iwconfig ath0 essid 'android' # Swap this for your SSID #sudo iwconfig ath0 key s:mypassword # Add your password in here, if required. sudo ifconfig ath0 up echo Press ENTER when wifi-tether is active read blah sudo dhclient ath0 DNS=`grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf |head -1 |awk '{print $2}'` dig @$DNS www.google.com else echo Returning network to managed mode. sudo ifconfig ath0 down sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed sudo ifconfig ath0 up sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager start fiI would love to see this for the new Verizon Droid. Is that in the works?
work just fine with Mytouch over WinXP. Download sleep @ 110Kb/s. Does T mobile charge for this ?
I've got it working on my Hero. I create the wifi connection and connect from my laptop. It connects fine to the network but says No Internet Access. Any advice?
I have a Sprint HTC Hero that I just rooted. I browsed to the download page from my phone downloaded/installed the apk just by clicking on it and telling it to download. Everything seemed like it should have been working except that when my laptop connected it didn't actually get internet access. I tried a few things and finally got it working - by enabling the WEP security (on my phone) and then setting it up in Windows.
The instructions on unlockr didn't mention this minor bump in rooting: make sure when you fire up the command line in windows that it has admin rights (right click and run as admin).
This project is invaluable to me... like other free software out there, if I find myself using this consistently I'll be more than happy to donate. THANKS!!
I'm running Hero 1.5 on Sprint with root access. I can connect to the WiFi? signal, but can't get any downstream from the interwebz. Any ideas?
I am also running cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1 on my G1, and tethering won't work anymore. I think it stopped working around 4.2.5 for me. Simply keeps saying. "Unable to start tethering. Please try again". I alreadt tried reinstalling and removing and re-adding sudo permissions, but it still won't work. The log is empty, too. Is there a way to run the underlying scripts in a console, in order to see exactly what isn't working?
@schweini: I've running cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1 by my own and tethering is working just fine here! I would recommend a wipe for such fucked-up phones like yours!
I'm having issues downloading off of usenet (tried ports 119, 563, 443 and 8080). Its kind of like my connection is being filtered. Does anyone know anything about this?
Running on G1 with Cyanogen 4.2.7.1
Everything else works great...web surfing that is =)
Thanks!
Is there anyway to convert from being an ad-hoc network, to being an infrastructure, or access point? We have systems that are locked out of being able to join into an ad-hoc network, and that renders this unusable.
I think I found a solution to my "unable to start tehtehering" problem - somehow (maybe because of apps2sd?) my tethering binaries were not executable. a quick chmod of all the binaries in /data/data/android.tether/bin fixed that. Only problem remaining is that dnsmasq seems to be on strike - I have to configure my network and the default gateway manually on my (ubuntu) laptop. (the phone's at 192.168.3.254, if anybody's wondering). Posting this over tehthering right now.
Good
can some one help im slow with this i have the t-mobile mytouch and need to make it work can someone show me how to root my phone please!
Can someone help me please. I have my G1 firmware 1.5 rooted but i dont know how to get the application onto my phone. Thanks.
This is a wonderful program. I love it! Question: Can I prevent unauthorized users from connecting?
I've had this running for a while now and I use it in class quite often. Macs run on it in class, but for some reason, my one friend with a Windows netbook can connect but cannot access the internet! What's the deal?
Hi, I just bought an HTC Hero from Sprint running cupcake. I rooted the phone and installed android-wifi-router. With the wifi configuration off on the phone (to not use the network broadcast at home), I hit tether. Program shows tethering. Before this, I changed the network name to android, and at first enabled WEP but disabled since things didn't work.
With WEP off, I try to connect from my Mac OS X (snow leopard). It sees the network and tries to connect. 169.254.242.108 is then given to me as the IP. When i try to visit a webpage, no go. This was also the case when I had WEP enabled. With a password, same thing happens. Odd thing is I don't get asked to enter the WEP password on my Mac. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi, has anyone got this working via wifi with a proxy server that needs authentication? I am trying to connect to my company network and my wifi connects, but when trying to browse the net it's a no go, the proxy server cannot authenticate. I have the HTC Hero, original rom.
RESOLVED. I read in another wiki page here (Supported Hardware) that I need to use wireless_tether_1_70-pre1_htc.apk for the HTC hero. Great app guys!
Hello. Thanks for great app. WIll this work on Acer Liquid (Donut 1.6) ?
Sprint hero, would not give IP to computer. wireless_tether_1_70-pre1_htc.apk fixed issue.
Can I make or receive a voice call at the same time that the smartphone is tethered via BlueTooth? and providing internet access to a PC?
Okay, here is my trouble. i connect my phone through the bluetooth etc. But the problem is that I only get 7.5kb uploaded and thats it. it stops! nothing more, and there is no download at all., i do not see the MAC adress. I remember a while ago it used to show the mac adress when I hit "begin tethering" , now nothing is shown...any help? jojo.angelov2@gmail.com
Hello, I have quick Q, I love the app, but wonder it is possible to access the services on the phone via the internal Ip provided by Wifi tether?
Right now, i connect the computer to the phones network, and then want to connect to the ftp server on the Phone, I manages to do this via the external ip, but i want to access it internally to i don't use up my dataplan for file transferees. Is this possible? If not it Would be a GRATE extra function!
I tried to acsess it via the gatway ip "192.168.1.254" But no luck :/
Thanks!!
I hate to repeat a previous question, but is there any way to get this to operate in infrastructure (AP) mode as opposed to ad-hoc? Is it a chipset limitation, or is it a software limitation?
Did we ever find out if we could stop unauth users from connecting??
It would be nice if there were some widgets that came along with the application also.
I read the first 30 or so comments to see if my problem was addressed but it wasn't and there were dozens of posts so I decided to just post my problem. With that said I apologize if this has been solved already.
I got root access to my Droid (exclusively to run this program) installed the program without any problem and tried to connect my laptop to the wireless signal from my phone. The "AndroidTether?" ssid comes up on my computer (vista x64) and I can connect to it but it does not connect to the internet from there. Instead, it says "waiting for users to connect to your adhoc network". I tried re-installing the binaries like one of the FAQ said but it didn't help. I have a full strength signal (3G) on my phone and the connection between the computer and phone is also full strength. Any help getting my computer and phone linked is greatly appreciated, as I'm growing very anxious to play around with this app.
Nicee
On a Motorola Droid, I get a message on startup of the app that the kernel may not have all features necessary, and to see this FAQ. Anyone have pointers on what needs to be done to a Motorola Droid for this?
Does This work with an iPhone?
@jahmezz You can use this to connect an iPhone over wifi to your androids 3g connection.
Just got this working on my Droid. Great stuff. But is there a way to increase the bandwidth? Windows is only reporting the connection is at 11mbps (whereas my typical internet connection is 100mbps)
Updated my phone to bugless beast v.08 and the wireless tethering app started with no errors but I keep showing no bandwidth. Also my laptop seen the connection but could not connect to it. Is there anything else I can do?
Works great over AT&T 3G with my Nexus One on my MacBook? Pro and MacBook? Air. Great job guys!
It doesnt work with OpenEclair? 1.2.2 on my Mytouch. It FC everytime.
@25rodraf73: Please open a new issue: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/entry
@rnolan1127: could you post a mini-howto on how you got it working on your Moto Droid? I would absolutely LOVE this.
Tether works on 2.1 Sprint ROM but the access list or encryption don't. I'm running the Nexus 2.1 version.
my droid is 2.0.1, and is from Verizon. I have rooted my phone successfully, and want to see if this works. If it does work, how do I install it?...do I just copy it to the SD card and reboot?
@kent: Two ways, get HTC Sync for windows it put your phone in HTC sync mode and download the package from the downloads section. Then use the HTC sync software on your PC to install the app. (Make sure you have Unknown Sources Checked (Settings>Applications to allow installation of non market place apps)). With unknown sources checked, you can download it from the market place i believe.
What phone on Sprint does this work best with? I have an iPod Touch, and I'd like to connect to Sprint via my phone's WiFi?. This looks like what I need to do. What's best? Does this work on Samsung Moment?
it works well in my nexus one!it's great!but this kernel miss something important for me.I'd like to have the tun.ko that compatible with this kernel-2.6.29-gad36b87-dirty (firmwareversion 2.1)~thanks!
I have a rooted Droid running Cyanogen. After just a minutes of use, my phone loses its 3G connection altogether -- the icon disappears and everything. I returns a few seconds later, but all the connections are broken. This happens over and over, making it virtually unusable. Any ideas?
ttest
Someone give me the idiot guide to setting this up on my touch. Thanks
very good job, where can I find the dnsmasq source and make files on Android?
Does the kernel on CM 5.0.7 for the Nexus One support this?
my desire in htc does not work, you have to update something? I'm already root and still not working. Thanks
Would it be possible to connect a Cable Modem by usb to the phone and share the connection by wifi ? thanks !
I Have problems to connect an iPad using the wifi opption
Is the future looking brighter for a final release for the Motorola Cliq XT?
I was able to connect my laptop to the phone, and pull and IP.
ipconfig /all showed I had an ip, and dns.
I can not browse any webpages and it appears to be a dns issue, I can ping the default gateway but I get no responses from NSlookup.
Nice stuff, beats setting up tables and netmasking buy hand, well with a script or two. Works great via WiFI will be testing bluetooth soon. I'm running Cyanogenmod 4.1.15.1 and connecting with a Net-book running SuSE 11.2. --Thanks for this app. it makes teathering easier for me.
has anyone been successful using this app and connecting the Droid to Mac Snow Leopard through Bluetooth (PAN) ? I get a timeout error: kernel [0xffffff800a796000? Req OpCode? 0411 from: kernel_task (0) status: 00 state: 2 timeout: 10000] Bluetooth warning: An HCI Req timeout occurred.
Pre-9 is working with Desire. (pre-13 is not!).
I had to set client's IP as 192.168.2.100, Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway and DNS set to 192.168.2.254 both. All WT settings were default. Then I installed Terminal to the Desire and ping -c 3 192.168.2.100. Tethering started after pinging.
Can someone please answer this. I want to be able to connect to a WIFI in a hotel (overseas) from my phone and then share that connection from my phone to my laptop and my wifes laptop. I dont want to use cell service because of the cost of cell overseas. I cant seem to figure out why everytime I launch this program it drops wifi? If it works with sharing my cell internet, then why not wifi? If this program can't share wifi then does someone know of another one that does? -- THANK YOU
@kirkshafonsky: The wifi interface can be used for sharing an internet connection OR for internet-uplink - it can't be used for both at the same time.
What version should I use on the evo 4g?
@lewi3069 - version 2.02. It has WEP and is seen as an AP by clients..
@draeder: that's incorrect. 2.0.2 supports only adhoc. version 2.0.5 (which is currently under testing) will support master-mode (infrastructure).
hey everyone, i found what could be one of the biggest problems with why some systems will not connect, it is listed under issue 350 and 374. Changing mac address for the phone (at least on droid under froyo) until connection, which causes problems for like the ipad and some other devices. Just wanted to bring attention to this as it should be an easy fix.
Milestone android 2.1 want use it..
Any way to disable the SSID from broadcasting? Just a thought...
I'm sure I'm having a silly problem, but I can't figure out the solution. I'm using an HTC Evo unlocked using unrevoked. I used Anroid tether on my HTC Hero and never had a problem, but now I can't maintain a connection. The phone shows that it's tethering and my computer has no problem connecting to it, but within a minute, the browser stops connecting. The PC says that it's still connected, as does the tether application; but it always does this. I can then reconnect for another minute if I disconnect and reconnect everything. I'm using Windows 7, if that helps at all. Any ideas? I've tried both 2.0.2 and 2.0.5
I too have the EVO 4G and unlocked using unrevoked and it seems like any computer or cell phone will not pick up the signal. Also, I see my signal is very weak, it more then likelyis something I am doing, so please help. I have both 2.0.2 and 2.0.5
I'm getting similar issues matthias.boden reported back in October 2009, on a CDMA Hero running 2.1, the broadcast ESSID is always the default, regardless of user settings, and stopping broadcasting freezes up the app and the phone. Have to pull the battery to recover.
bump on the ad-hoc vs infrastructure requests. Potentially the reason only ad-hoc is supported is the wifi driver that comes with 2.1 and prior? I ask this because froyo supposedly has wifi 'hotspot' build into the source, although any roms released this week do not have that option under tethering. Anyway, potentially the 2.2 source drivers can allow for a conventional access point. Just a suggestion.
any ideas why my work dell laptop sees the tethering as a computer-to-computer network and not an ad-hoc connection? Work pc is only allowed ad-hoc connections so now it wont connect to tether. Weird!!?!!

@bob.pielock:
Use this early test-release: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3-test3.apk
Mac OS X Users: I'm using a rooted Motorola XT800 in China. This device is similar to the Motorola Droid. Tried for a long time to get android-wifi-tether to work with no success. Finally discovered that setting up an ad-hoc wireless network of the same name and channel on your mac FIRST then turning on wifi-tether works perfectly!
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6 on a Macbook Pro and using Android 2.1 device. Hope this helps someone!
Hi Guys,
Could i use the infrastructure mode also for the G1 chipset? I mean there is a hardware limitation or, also in the future, there will be any possibilities?
First, thank you for all of this work!
I am using a rooted HTC Sapphire (ADP2) and I have rebuilt the kernel with netfilter enabled and I rebuilt the wireless drivers (wlan.ko). I am also running a custom build of Android 2.1. When I start tethering, I get a message that says "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks again!
Does not seem to be working with my Nintendo DS :(
Question: Will this give a different IP address for everyone who is logged into the WiFi? Tether? I have an application that communicates between computers through an HTTP port assigned to an address. Using something like Verizons' MyFi?, I get an IP address fo rweach user -- which is fine.
Does this operate the same way? Or is every user sharing the same address?
I've tried installing this on my rooted Captivate. When I try to launch the downloaded file, I get the "Install Blocked, for security your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market" message.
Any iudeas?
@Danny Scarbrough - check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV2hQWapynw for installing non-market apps.
Which is kinder to the battery (I am using N1): bluetooth tethering, or wifi tethering?
Just rooted my Xperia mini pro, what works on it? Saw many download links for diffrents phones, but none for Xperia.
Many have reported this working on the Captivate however mine does not seem to work. I get the SSID broadcast but my Win7 laptop cannot connect to it. the Access Control doesn't pick up anything either.
I thank you all for the excellent work you do.
@ n8vision thanks so much this works I'm running evil eris 3 android 2.1 and mac osx 10.4.1 and all I did was create a network called AndroidTether? on the same channel then viola it worked woohoo so cool
I have a Motorola Droid running firmware 2.1-update 1, and have root access. I've seen that the download section here includes only items for Droids running 2.0. Should I follow the advice of wlarsonh from Mar. 31, or is there a simpler way? // Thanks in advance! There are a lot of us out here in my situation, so I think a prominent post on this site about how to do this for my kind of phone would be very much appreciated -- or you could include a section on the download page for Droids with v.2.1.
FIX FOR MAC OSX USERS:
I would like to expand on what n8vision said (for those of your who found what he said confusing):
If you are on a mac follow these instructions to get wifi tether working:
1) Make sure Wireless Tether is NOT running 2) Inside the app press the menu button and Settings to access the settings 3) Change the SSID to "AndroidTether?", and Channel to 11 (Any SSID and Channel should work but I want to keep these instructions simple and easier to follow. I suggest you try these settings first just to see if it works.) 4) Go onto your mac and select the Airport icon from your menu bar and click "Create Network..." 5) Set the Name to "AndroidTether?" and the Channel to 11 (make sure that "Require Password" is unchecked). Your airport icon on your menu bar should now be solid grey with a little computer inside it. 6) On your phone go back to the main screen of the app and turn on Wireless Tether (by clicking the large green wifi symbol) 7) Enjoy your tethered internet access!
NOTE: If you press menu and then access control you should be able to see your mac on the list of "Connected/Authorized Clients"
Hope I could help!
Working with Android 2.2 on a Motorola droid with a macbook 13.3" (white) running 10.6.4 snow leopard
For some reason the mac doesn't connect. It will generate some random IP address to connect with and will not actually connect. If I try a static IP address then it will say that it is connected but it still won't generate a connection that will allow me to browse web pages and such.
Do the Devs of this app take suggestions? I think, this app is amazing. It just needs a simple one click enable/disable widget to compliment it. (for the wired and the wireless)
Will installing the HTC EVO4G update 1.47.651.1 disable the rooting and therefore, kill free tethering?
@yodamaniac I have an Apple iMac running 10.6.4. I followed your instructions, but still get an ip address starting with 169. I have an HTC Droid Incredible, running Android 2.1. Any other suggestions I can try?
I am currently on vacation but I will be home on Monday for a short while. I'll see if I can find a solution then. I'll post back then.
@yodamaniac I resolved my issue by following instructions from another wiki. Simply, I downloaded a file called "fw_bcm4329_ap.bin" (a Google search will reveal multiple download sites), renamed the file to "fw_bcm4329.bin", mounted my sdcard, created a folder called "android.tether", placed the "fw_bcm4329.bin" file into the "android.tether" folder, then finally unmounted my sdcard. When I started wireless_tether (2.0.2), my iMac received a DHCP address. Here's where I got the instructions from: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible.
Would it be possible to connect to another ad-hoc network through this application maybe an option to not tether but just enable the connectivity to ad-hoc networks in general?
Downloaded the latest beta yesterday (2.0.5-pre8), finally got it to work with Ubuntu 10.04. Love it!
I've had a persistent problem with android wifi tether for a couple months. Initially I installed the program on my rooted droid and everything worked great. However, as I began to play around with my phone by installing different roms (primarily Bugless Beast and CyanogenMod?) somehow I broke the application on my phone. New rom installs didn't fix the problem despite selecting the "wipe" option in clockworkmod. After doing a factory reset I've been able to get tethering working but only without "access control". I primarily use this Wifi Tether on buses and in airports so it's helpful to not have the entire terminal saturating my connection. Please let me know if anybody else has had a similar problem - Wifi Tether is great and it's almost painful to recall how wonderfully it worked previously...
This works brilliantly, but doesn't seem to share my current WiFi? connection.
Is there a way to have the phone connect to a wifi network and then share that wifi network connection through Wifi Tether?
this wi-fi tether was made just for the samsung moment it works great,ive had 5 different devices connected at once thats why the tether is named sph-900.before that i had easy tether from the market its 9.99$ its well worth it,but i git mine from megaupload,& or www.filestube.com they both work best with sprint & verizon network.I never had one problem ANGRYDROID4
Works great on the Evo 4G - Baked Snack ROM 1.5

Version 2.0.2 (found in android market) is solid on Sprint HTC Hero running stock (rooted via Universal Androot) Android 2.1 (software number 2.27.651.6). Seems to always broadcast network as AndroidTether? regardless of your settings but I don't consider that a serious problem.
Has anyone been able to get it to work on ubuntu lucid with either madwifi or ath5 drivers? Tethering works en every os I've tried except this one.
I just installed this bad boy on my freshly rooted Sprint Epic using the one-click root developed by the people over in xda-developers forum. Works great! I think I'm sold. $30.00 are now going to my savings account. One click root for the Epic 4G! v2.2.4 Now has Busybox & remount scripts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
This may be a stupid question. I have a nexus one running froyo 2.2, rooted with superuser. What I want to do is use my laptop's internet connection as a hotspot for my phone. Is this possible?
Great app, but how do I get master/infrastructure working on a G1? I've installed 2.0.5 pre 9, but I don't see the option. Is it specifically disabled for phones that aren't the EVO?
Ubuntu wouldn't connect using the current release, I installed 2.0.5-pre8 and it connected!
Hi, maybe a bit of an offtopic question but still: Is there any way (using your software, or natively, or at least theoretically) to do the reverse -- connect over DUN from Android to the modem (another phone)? I.e. is there a DUN client implementation for Android, or is it at least possible? Thanks in advance!
How do I change the Nat type to open and possibly speed up the connection on the Motorola Droid for Xbox live
works great but one small (kinda big problem)... i usually use this to allow iphone users to take some of my trusty verizon bandwith where they have none... network shows up perfect on iphones, laptops and pc's... but the network won't show up on other android phones. thoughts?
Really sweet. Now, here's the question: is there a way remotely to turn it on and off from the computer, so it is just on as needed. My reason is I don't need a high profile, just want the connection to download/upload to/from pc, then am happy to disconnect from internet...turn off tether, as long as it can be queried and directed remotely.

I NEED HELP!! Last week my tethering was working just fine. I tried to connect it this morning and it acts like everything is working fine but my computer never shows up in the connected list and my computer can't connect to the internet. I even tried to re-install the binaries and i get a FILE NOT FOUND ERROR. I then tried to re-install from the web and that didn't work either. PLEASE HELP!! Is there a number I can call to get support for this.
Like amylink I installed the pre8 version and Ubuntu 10.04 connected just fine.
Help! I have an HTC mytouch 3g 1.2 and I put Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 on it so basically it is running 2.2, and none of these that I have tried work. Please help! I don't have internet at my house and I've been trying to get this working for a while.
I need help recently I got an update for my phone the one that came out Saturday and before that my wiring tethering was working just fine I tried to use it this morning and and it wouldn't work at all it tells me "unable to start tethering! Please try again". So does anyone know how to fix this problem if so plz let me know email is marcoalvarado88@Gmail.com
Works perfect on the new T-Mobile G2 both wi-fi and the wired app rooted with Visionary. Using Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 and XP on the netbook.
Phone - Garminfone 1.6 / ADW Root - Universal Androot - message state "woot your device is rooted"
After installing the wirelss tether 2.0 I'm getting the following error message -- Your phone is currently in an unknown state, please try to reboot.
Even after a power cycle, the wireless tether 2.0 app won't run. Any ideas?
Update - I also installed wired tether 1.0. This app isn't working either. The error says "Unsupported Kernal".
@Mikedhubble-- The reason why you're running into this issue is because root doesn't install the necessary kernel mods to allow the wireless tether to work. So you do have root, but you'll have to find a wlan.ko (I believe) and a kernel mod that will grant you access. I spoke with someone today and they stated that a developer phone would have the files needed to tether. Get a hold of one and we could possibly get it to work.
I have a Rooted Devour Running Firmware version 1.6. What do i need to download to make this work on my phone?
I cannot get the app to turn off after I am through. It seems to continue after I press button to stop it it just keeps on working. Any suggestions?
my work blocks ad hoc wifi connections, is there any way to fool windows into thinking it is an access point instead of an ad hoc connection?
I have the same issue! when i'm done using Wireless Tethering and press the icon on the screen to stop it, it just keeps on working. the only way to stop it is to reboot my droidX. Is there an answer for this type of behavior?
I was able to connect to an android-wifi-tether network without any problems using a Windows 7 laptop, but Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) took some work.
I started by using the built-in tray icon for wireless networking in Ubuntu to setup a new connection and it would appear to connect successfully, but then I wouldn't be able to browse anywhere in Firefox. The IP address also didn't seem right, since the Wireless Tether app said it should be using IP's like 192.168.1.0/24, but when running the ifconfig from the Linux command-line, it was saying "10.42.43.1"
The fix was to right click the Ubuntu networking tray icon, go to Edit Connections, Wireless tab, click on the SSID name, click Edit, go to the IPv4 Settings tab, and change the Method dropdown to "Automatic (DHCP)". After that, it worked fine.
You guys rock! I did the patch on my G2 which stopped me from using your program. I come back this evening only to see you fixed it!
Thanks so much!!! SoTacMatt?
I had root with unrevoked and had wirelees tether before first OTA update after EOV launch. I lost it then and I have been waiting for a chance to add them again. Thanks soooo much!!
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre12.apk works 100% with Motorola Flipout (Android 2.1). No custom kernel needed. Just Root and install this app... Brilliant !!!!!!! From South Africa.
I'm having problems getting my Epic to connect to the internet while tethering. I rooted my Epic with one.click.root.exploitv2.3.0. At first I had some problems. Initially when I finished rooting, I couldn't get a # sign response for su. I d/l the newer 2.3.0, rerooted and when finished rooting, I typed in adb shell and got back a $. The response after typing su though, was another su, I typed in su again and then got a # sign. I have d/l titanium backup and backed everything up, so that makes me think that my phone's properly rooted, yet I can not get tethering to fully work. My computer had the Intel 5100 adapter that required the new drivers, and I thought that once I updated them I was going to be home free. No such luck. I can now get 3 laptops to connect to my tethered Epic, but it won't connect to the internet. I need to be pointed in the right direction. Help.
The wireless tether for Samsung fascinate works great.
I have a Droid x and want to connect my galaxy tab to it for access. I rooted using z4root and installed wireless tether from the market. I start the tether program and it doesn't say there are any problems, but the tab can't find the network. Can anyone help?
Running rooted stock Froyo FRG83D on original myTouch 3G. wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre02.apk was working great until this morning after my phone received another OTA (Froyo "Security" update) from tmobile. The update was ~10 Mb. Superuser runs showing wireless_tether as approved app. I still appear to have root but wireless tether no longer runs. Unistalled and installed wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk, but same problem. Message from wireless tether is that it is "Unable to start tethering. Try again later."
@wpallini: If you get such a message ... your phone is NOT rooted correctly!
So far when I've been using this device, It seems that I always have to initiate the connection from the PC. If I want to do this with 2 android phones and no PC, how would I initiate the command from this program to connect to the other device?
i am rooted (new droid x)and the tether works if wireless is not on. but pc browser says error 105 cannot find server. help
Any chance of getting a tethered G1 to be visible to a Nook Color? I know infrastructure mode is required but I don't see it as an option.
Does anyone know if this can be setup so it is NOT a computer-to-computer network (ad hoc). My computer will not accept computer to computer networks do to its security settings.
How can I change the NAT from strict to open. Plz let me know what to do. I am running this on a G1.
Need Help! on my Wireless Tether i'm able to start Tethering but the Down is at (0.4KB) and UP is (0.0KB) I've conected my Ipod touch 4 to the DroidX SSID but no connection or activity please advise what I'm missing.
I was running a Dell laptop with the Dell Connection Manager software. I uninstalled this "connection manager" software and now tethering works. I presume Dell Connection Mgr didnt allow ad-hoc connection. Cell phone = DroidX.

Does anyone know if this would work on my Cricket Huawei Ascend running Android 2.1, or whats the best wifi/bluetooth tethering program to use for this phone?
Thanks
Awesome app, thank you!
New version does not work on motorola milestone running 2.1, had to download the second last release to have tethering enable successfully. Dont know how to log this as an issue.
Is the new 2.0.5 update infrastructure mode only available for the EVO? Any idea when it will be working for the EPIC?
I installed wifi tether for rooted .... on my tmobile G1. It appears to work just fine from the G1 but the wifi signal can not be seen from other devices. I am running The Dude edition 1.2. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Hello, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5500B) Android 2.1, and using Android Wifi Tether 2.0.6, the only one that almost worked Using Windows 7 on my PC's WiFi? App is found and you can connect, but can not connect to the internet. When the tether is started on a reporting error, the log checking process "Enable NAT Rules" failure I wonder if there any solution? I tested versions 2.0.5 \ 0.4 \ 0.3 \ 0.2 and 0.1 and all had problems with NAT Thanks, I await answers
Just installed it on a newly rooted Evo. It works, but is REALLY SLOW. My Palm Pre running MyTether? got 1.5Mbps - the Evo with Androidtether gets .09Mbps on the same network, running the same test. Any way to speed things up?
will this app work on an ascend or zio? the android phones cricket current has.
works perfectly on my vibrant! I would just like to see a built in terminal emulator that will do user defined strings so that it will change my vibrant's mtu settings to 1500. Rather than having to open up terminal emulator and typing "ip link set dev pdp0 mtu 1500" everytime I have to reboot my phone. Also a on/off toggle wigdet and a UL/DL data tracker widget would help alot.
Keep up the good work.
Works great on Samsung Epic 4g --> viperROM FRoZen EXT4-RFS DK28 Dual 4.03 http://teamviper.devphone.org/
I can connect to the AndroidTether? wifi, but it says no internet access on my laptop, it doesnt work on my ipod either. Can anyone help?
I am looking to update my fascinate to froyo but there was a comment on one of the forums that said not to use android tether because verizon had some kind of tracking thing in the new kernel. I was curious if the creaters here had heard about that and if there was any truth to it. Thanks.
What about Reverse tethering ? (Samsung Galaxy tab)
i have the wifi tether no matter what i do i cant not connect my laptop picks it up but it keeps telling me no internet access what am i doing work some1 walk me thought this junk im using wifi tether for rooted user bsemery25@gmail.com
Was running 2.05 on the stock fascinate rom, rooted. It was working fine. Flushed ROM to the leaked EB01 (2.2) and now it starts in ad-hoc mode. Anybody knows why and how to fix if any? Thanks,
Worked on my galaxy s (captivate) 2.1, at least a quick test. I'm not sure how the downloads page shows versions for different phones, but none for my phone, yet I installed via Marketplace. Had to remove my sim since AT&T blocks it. Thanks
2.0.7 works like a charm on Motorola Atrix! I was just fighting with 2.0.6, couldn't make it work. Then I went to 'Downloads' again (on this page) to try one of the experimental versions, and - I kid you not - 2.0.7 had just been uploaded LESS THAN ONE MINUTE earlier!! So I uninstalled 2.0.6, installed 2.0.7, and voila!! I bet I'm the FIRST person EVER to have Wireless Tether running on the Atrix! :) (other than the developers, of course).. I feel special. :)
Thank You very much for the App! It works great, but I find on first attempt to run, it 'connects' to my Xoom but no actual internet connection. If I reboot my D-INC and begin the process over, it works great. I'm thrilled with what you've done, is there something I can change in settings to avoid that lenghty reboot process?
How do I change my Nat type to open? I am using the HTC Droid incredible
I have this running on my rooted samsung Epic 4g and it runs liks a dream on my windows 7 desktop and xp laptop. I'm very happy, this is the best app ever. I'm wondering if there is a way to get my wii to connect to it's wifi signal. I've tried but I keep getting an error code. Anything out there for this yet?
I have a rooted xperia X10 and I get something about kernel does not have netfilter. I looked at the kernel and it is version 2.6.29. I know nothing about kernels and stuff. I bought it as it is now. Is there anyway I can get this to work?
Thanks
Evo 4G. How to stop tethering?????
Keep pressing on button, but my phone keeps on tethering.
i decided to update to the most recent version of wireless tether, and my computers connection seems much faster! i will prolly go back to latest stable version though because i dont think that wii supports ad-hoc networks. i was wondering though what type of wifi wireless tether uses, g, n or something else? or is the question even relevant? also what would be faster, given everything else is the same, wifi or bluetooth?
How legal is this? Isn't this getting around paying the tethering fee? Thanks
@memyself...: Re: "How legal is this?"
See the first page ... Warning: Use this application at your own risk. It is possible that use of this program may violate your carrier's Terms of Service.
The application doesn't know what kind of contract you have signed or what the "terms of service" of your carrier are. If it violates the ToS DON'T USE IT! It's your responsibility to check that!
@sadisti i've the same problem with my x8....
Hi there, I'm trying to compile this baby from scratch in order to better understand how it works. But I'm confused with the building of the tether executable. I'm using the latest ndk version (revision 5b) and the ndk-build script is giving me trouble with it.
Can someone please give me a light here, I'm having problems specially with this edify script.
Thanks Nelson (bilthon@gmail.com)

First, thanks for an awesome application!
Q - I noticed the temperature gauge in the upper left hand corner. My phone (ERIS with a CYANOGEN 7 Gingerbread ROM) tends to heat up while using this. At what temperature should I start to get concerned? It's gotten up to about 43 deg C and it started at 31 deg C.

Running well on Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept 2.2 with UltimateKernelPackagev2? from here: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development-2-2/vm-intercept-ultimate-kernel-package/120/
Runs well in ad-hoc mode, and selecting Samsung Epic 4G profile automatically switches to infrastructure mode, as detailed in this thread: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development-2-2/wifi-teether-infrastructure-mode-free-100-working/
Haven't tried any encryption, running open hotspot. W/ 3.0v14 I was getting occasional freezes or restarts. On recommendation from a fellow tester, switched to 3.0v11, seems stable so far.
Thanks for the app.
I am using this with a metropcs indulge. Works great with my mac book pro and now motorola xoom wifi tablet. I get 4G speed and it rocks. Now this is the experimental v13 one I think and must selct samsung galaxy indulge and chand the other setting to samsung tap{something} and power cycle the phone but whatever It works with MBP and the XOOM So do NOT need a verizona 3G Xoom, save money. No contract and 4G speed
Will any of these work for a rooted (by z4root) lg optimus m on metro pcs android 2.2 (froyo) where the proxy.metropcs.net was removed, (can put the proxy ip back in the settings at any time) my phone isn't listed in where all the versios of this app are listed. If not able to use this, is there another comparable app available?
I have a rooted Droid 2 Global and cannot get this going. I don't know where to get the kernel from. I would gladly make a nice donation if I can get this working. Please help. I'm not a hacker, so dumb it down a little. Thank you!

It says "no netfilter" but I have used this app before on this same device. I unrooted like 2 weeks ago..and I rerooted 2 days ago just for this. But they took it out of the market so a friend sent itme the link to download it. And now I have this problem. Any advice would be appreciated. Email me me please. Adm2626(at) gmail
Just rooted my new Sprint Epic 4G and have installed the wifi tethering program v3.0-pre14.apk. Everything is so far so good except my cpu cant access the internet when I have log on my Epic 4G wireless connection. I tried to troubleshoot this and I keep getting feedback from windows stating it could be a DNS problem. Not sure what else to do. kosianme@gmail.com
I rooted my china clone - Desire mtk g7 with z4root and WOW version v3.0-pre14.apk works fine and I can connect my mac to phone!!!!! Big thanks for this super prog! I donated $10 from @computer-.com:)
I had downloaded this app before and it worked fine. Just recently had to download again and now it says the kernel does not support this. I have a rooted droid x 2.2 is there a kernel I can install that will work
Wii is not picking it up for some reason? Thunderbolt worked fine. But not for the droid charge. ...Any suggestions?
Excuse me i'm french people where can i find "(CONFIG_NETFILTER(CONFIG_NETFILTER CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC) " please .sorry for my bad english ... message in french : excusez moi ou puis-je trouver :"(CONFIG_NETFILTER(CONFIG_NETFILTER CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC) " s'il vous plait ???
Bonjour Phililippe! I had the same problem, and then discovered that I had downloaded the oldest version, which is why I got the Netfilter alert. Download the one that is the nearest to the top that has your phone make on it. I wouldn't do the "experimental" ones though.
...My problem now is that it thinks my phone isn't rooted because it cannot tether. I have a Samsung Captivate (galaxy s) that is rooted and has side loading capabilities.
Never mind about my problem! I followed the instructions above and it worked:
"If you have root permissions, but still cannot start tethering, it may be an issue with either the tethering binaries or your tethering settings. From the main tether screen, try going to Menu->Setup->Menu->Reinstall binaries/configs."
This stop working on my Samsung fascinate after the new update. I rerooted everything else works but wireless tether quit working. I have tried 2.0 and up with no luck. The laptop sees it but will not connect anymore. Same laptop I always used I get some error in wireless tether says check log but it doesn't show any error
Finally got it working on my samsung galaxy 5 froyo ......!!!!!
Hey. I'm looking for a way to use my phone's data as the internet connection for my wireless router. Is there a way to do this with wireless tether? I have a dlink router running the latest dd-wrt. Please let me know if this is possible or what I can get to do this. Thx.
Does WiFi? tether run my HTC evo battery hot ?
Is there a way to tether with a build in special option : fake user agent whith personnal params ?
I just want to saya couple of things. I read through about half this... Comments were meant for thing like "I love this or I hate this x thumbs up" if you haven't read the faq don't post a question! and finally
An addition to put under" why can't my computer connect to wireless tether?" some times other wireless devices will interfere with both wife and your phone signal so check around for baby monitors wireless video/audio devices.
Does it work on Rooted Android 2.2 saphire?
Dear, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 (android 3.1)in the US. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S phone (Rooted Darky Rom: Ficeto.Deodexed.XXJVP dark core 2.7.3 JVP) I saw your app on the Market , and wanted to tether from the SGS to the Tab. App works on SGS but NO client found :-( Have tried both wifi and or bleutooth. What am I doing wrong. If you need more info , my email maesvanhaver@gmail.com Best regards, Philip. Greets from Belgium If it works I would love to donate :-)
Downloaded and installed latest 3.1beta1 ... and yes it works. Not sure but it stops sometimes :-( Maybe caused by my own Wireless Home router ? I guess he's to strong , so he pushed AndroidTether? away.
Anyway I've made a donation to help your project. Here is a paypal beer :-) Confirmation number: 8DD55747JT459902G
Best regards, Philip.

Hello, I'm using a ZTE-750,Android 2.1, and using Android Wifi Tether 2.0.6-CN-QKER, App is found and you can connect, but can not connect to the internet. When the tether is started on a reporting error,can not find the firewall,the kernel do not suppose this softwave, the log checking process "Enable NAT Rules" failure I wonder if there any solution?

What if I already have the 20$ Extra thing a month. Would this app still add too that limit and its just bypassing the block? Or well this not add to the limit at all, because from the looks of it. It will.

Windows 7x64 confirm the Feb 25 post that 2.0.7 works with (AT&T) Atrix, while 2.0 and 3.1-beta2 do not. Not working on ARM-Linux, but so far no tethering method is for me.
I have the 2GB limit already.
When I use this application, it still charges my 2GB limit, which is what im trying to get it NOT to do
Im on DroidX, rooted .569 GB , Whenever I start tethering via Android Wifi Tether Beta 2 , the stock "Tethering or Hotspot Active" notification still comes up on my phone. Which im sure, when that comes up, it means its charging me. HOW DO I GET IT FOR FREE, I thought that was the point of all this. PDANet doesn't bring up the stock notification. I also downloaded the TBH Patch and flashed it. Still doesn't stop me from being charged. HELP PLEASE
possibly my last post on this issue was at wrong place. reposting... I have the stock 2.2 ROM from AT&T on my Samsung Captivate. wifi thether works very nice but crashes my Captivate 2-3 times a day. Following are my observations:
1) crash is almost certain when a phone call comes
2) Wifi connection is very stable and never breaks. i use WPA encryption.
3) crash is seen randomly even when the device is in my pocket, while the wifi tethering is on but mostly when the wifi client (my Asus Transformer tablet) is out of reach (.i.e when i am in a meeting without my tablet).
4) Crash can also happen(rarely) when the device is connected to the tablet and being used.
5) If I stop wifi tethering, it can be started only after a full reboot of the phone.-very frustrating. This was the case with the most most stable release, almost same with the latest 3.1 beta2 release as of today.
My phone is rooted(obviously). Does anyone have any idea?
And yes, Thanks you for such a nice app and for keeping it free.
Can anyone help me with getting this to run on a Droid X with Verizon?
Thanks,
Steve
On the EVO 3D I can run the 3.0 beta 2 and get a connection however downloading from internet does not work. Any help would be appreciated !
Travis
in continuation with my above note from Aug 3, i even tried flashing my phone with Dark'y9.5 ROM and firing up wifi tethering usage still randomly resets my phone no matter what i do. i will post a solution here if i find one elsewhere. Someone please help if possible
Bluetooth tethering works fine from my CM7 Moto Droid to my stock ASUS Transformer except for downloads through the stock browser. When I attempt to download files through the browser, they never manage to start. If I use Firefox instead, it works just fine, but I would prefer to be using the stock browser. Anything I can do to fix this?
Hi. I just downloaded the 3.1-beta2 version on my rooted Evo 4G> I read on Android police the following >>
"Good news everyone!
Following the discovery of a secondary firmware file within the EVO's directory structure and undocumented driver calls in the source, the team working on the android-wifi-tether project have fully implemented infrastructure mode on the Sprint EVO 4G, allowing users the same experience as if they were using the bundled Sprint Hotspot application, but without the $30 monthly fee.
By fully supporting infrastructure mode vs the previous ad-hoc only mode, you will now be able to enjoy the full wireless hotspot experience, including support for WPA2 encryption, compatibility with a larger set of devices, and easier configuration on the client device......
......For now, only the EVO 4G supports the newly added WPA2 and infrastructure mode, while the rest of the Android phone lineup will default to the previous ad-hoc+WEP mode."
When I enable WPA2 in Settings, Android WiFi? Tether won't connect. I see in your FAQ that on HTC, there is still this issue. I assume Android police were incorrect with their statement. Any help or clarification is very welcomed. I just don't want others to use my Connection, and I would of course enjoy the 256bit encryption.
Thanks you.............

It is great. How about it on Verizon 4G? Thanks........
I got a sprint nexus s and for the first month hotspot tethering worked fine without paying my $30. Then came the update to android 2.3.5 and the hotspot feature stopped working. It appears that when turning on the hotspot the data connection is disabled because the icon indicating a 3G connection disappears. I then rooted my phone and installed 3.1-beta2 of the wifi-tether, but still can't get the hotspot to work. I can connect from my windows 7 but no connection to the internet is there. It appears as if the built-in hotspot feature is still temporarily activated (the blue hotspot icon is visible for a moment) and then the 3G icon goes away. Even turning off the tether does not give me back the data connection. using the android browser will not connect to any web site. Only rebooting the phone will give me back my data connection. Any idea what to do about that? - maybe running a different ROM - even though I would hate to do this - because of all t he work involved ;-) Thanks, Merlin
I was hopeful that the latest version would do anything different as described in my post just above but unfortunately the behavior is the same. But I played with the settings a bit and found some additional info that might be useful: if I use the adhoc setup method the the data connection to the sprint network is not severed and I don't see the little blue icon "hotspot active" flashing before the data connection goes away. With the adhoc method I can use a mac to connect, but a windows 7 computer still does not get internet connectivity even though connection to the hotspot is established.
hello, I don't know if this was asked, but I have the wifi tether working on my phone. My laptop can see the network, but my Asus Eee Pad, running android 3.2 can't see the wifi network from my phone. Is there something I need to do to let my Eee pad see the network? Thank you.
Hello, The eee pad will only recognize infrastructure, not ad hoc. Try open garden wifi tether from the market. Daryl
@jkmant...@gmail.com What you can do is: Download version 2.0.8-pre1 and activate bluetooth-tethering. The eeepad (I personally own one) is able to pair/join to PAN.
I downloaded and installed tether but cannot connect to the internet I have a windows xp tethering from my cricket hauwei phone can you help me
this may be a leap and im sure many people would ask why, but im curious, is there any posible way to allow a device using wireless distribution system(WDS) to connect to wifi-tether? basicly, i am in a very large area and would like to extend the coverage to other parts of the building when i am there. I have already successfully acomplished this using a DD-WRT router using "Repeater-bridge" however, this leaves the wifi-tether still open for directly connecting to it, so for this reason i would like to find out if there is a way to semi-secure the access point with wds. and also, just a point of interest....it seems that the "hide ssid" does not function on the htc thunderbolt using 3.1_beta2
I downloaded the program but I can't stop my phone from tethering now. How do you turn it off when you don't want to use it?
Make sure that you have allowed superuser permission for the program to stop. Check your super user app, and you can also user fix permissions.
Hello, when I press the start tethering button, it states" tethering starts with an error, check show log. Then when I go into check my show log, it states "Activating Wifi interface...failed" How do I fix this issue. Thank You!
On my droid X it works great with 3 beta 2, but sometimes when its stopped it doesnt 'disconnect' and go back to 'blue 3G'. The 3 beta 6 seems to never do this disconnect and you have to reboot to get 'google services' back.
Why are all of the bluetooth options greyed out / disabled? I have a laptop paired with and connected to the phone via bluetooth, but can't enable the bluetooth options in wireless tether.
Thunderbolt gets dns error
droidx: can't consistently get around Verizon window...no tweeting of setup, rebooting, etc. works
clear the browsers cookies and cache and you're in!! :-)
When I go to the apps page on the market there isn't even an option for me to download it. I have a droid x (rooted obviously). Any idea why?
im using moto atrix and installed this souly based upon the fact that i got a message from att sayiing i was tethering, will this hide it so it wont look like i am?
SOLVED!!!!!!! If your droid x runs this app but you still get the verizon "give us money" page, and you loose data till rebooting the phone, i have found the solution. I think the problem i had was my phone is new, came with gingerbread from the factory. 2.3.3 does not have the "Mynet.apk"-(3g mobile hotspot) installed, and i theorize that the icon in the app menu is nothing more than a redirect. What i did (after large amounts of fiddling) was copied both the mynet.apk and mynet.odex into /system/app folder, installed with root explorer and it worked. I then deleted both (because i ended up with 2 3g hotspot icons in app folder, one of which would make the phone crash) and it continued to work. I still have the original 3g hotspot icon in app list, but i cant find the file to delete it.
you can get the odex from http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/2.3.15/ but the apk on that page will likely give you a "app not installed" error. the correct apk can be found on http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/229068-need-restore-verizon-hotspot.html (the one that doesnt work is 20kb, the one that works is 51kb) in a post by someone named "Fabulous". After all that, simply follow the directions above, and select device profile Droid x, and enable encryption.
My wifi tether app (beta 6) now works great, and can tether multiple computers, tested with 2 both running youtube vids, getting total download speed of ~4 mgbs. I will be making a donation. despite the trouble i had getting this program to function, now that it is, it works fantastic. Thank you!!!
Would like to happily report that my LG Revolution 4G on VZW (rooted, busybox, superuser, etc) works with beta6. Was using a version of Easy Tether, but that would create a dead TCPIP registry entry that would cause a hard to track random reboot problem on Win7 x64.(EasyTether? would create weird TCP/IP registry entries.) Now I can use it like any Wifi node and my problems are gone!
Happy as a clam! You guys ROCK!
Recently updated Droid X, and now everytime I start the app mobile hot-spot is instantly detected by Verizon. I'm hit with the "pay us" site everywhere...including the mobile browser! Any luck fixing the update?
so if anyone else is having issues with it timing out, i figured out that some have to do with the screen timing out, maybe if these guys are still working on this pgram they can add something to fix that, other than that thx a million.
@jeremy.v...: Activate wake-lock in app-settings.
Hi I rooted my photon 4g yesterday the root works but this feature does not work! I tried other wifi tether apps and the same thing happens some devices like my laptop pick up the signal but they cannot connect...any ideas?

Please address
"multiport kernel"
issues and/or related to (current version of) iptables
For some reason wireless tether is disrupting my bluetooth. I have tried several roms and each one has a different issue with bluetooth. I had HTC OTA (rooted) froyo and suddenly my phone kept restarting. I was able to tether and use bluetooth devices (car) at the same time. I then loaded CM7 and it would not pair to anything even without wireless tether on. I tried a sense(less) rom and it will pair but drops bluetooth when I turn on tether. Any suggestions on how I can use this so it will be stable and use both bluetooth devices and tether for my pad?
How can I disable the signal to anothet person?
i rooted my e
i rooted my evo 3d and using the infected rom. wifi tether works perfect on my 4g network and get the same download and upload speeds on my other android phone , htc evo 4g and laptop. Now the problem, when i connect both of my iphone 4s, they match in the upload speed but my evo 3d gets avg of 6-10 mbps but when i connect my iphone 4s( sprint ) to it, i only get about 0.8mbps of download per speedtest. how is that possible and how do i fix that. AND I KNOW ITS NOT JUST MY PHONE, SO FAR, I HAVE TRIED AT LEAST 4 IPHONES AND ALL DONT PERFORM ANY WHERE CLOSE TO 6MBPS
Hello, probably it's only my problem, but on cyanogen mod 7.1 and 7.1.0.1 wireless tether dont work (it works on 7.0 perfectly). When start, get root permisions and then "start secured wifi with errors, show log". In log - load kernel module - ok and then actifating interface - fail. How can i grab additional debug info? WT 2.0.7. Thanks.
any luck on the verizon "pay us" site redirects?
How come there's no WPA encryption mode?
NexusS 4G
I second jason anyone find a workaround for the Verizon pay us? I have pdanet working but id love to use wifi so I can get my xbox and other things online
The same here : "Why are all of the bluetooth options greyed out / disabled? I have a laptop paired with and connected to the phone via bluetooth, but can't enable the bluetooth options in wireless tether."
I can't enable bluetooth in the options ...
So if u use this you can connect your ipod or second android device to the wifi you make with this app on your first android device and you don't have to pay anything??

I have installed WiFi? Tether and I do not have a WiFi? router or access point, I have only my WinXP laptop with WiFi?. Now after bridging the PC's wired LAN and WiFi? connections, I just start Wireless Tether app, and then view the Available wireless networks on the PC where I can see "AndroidTether?" as one network and I connect to it. It connects, but immediately thereafter, my computer briefly shows a blue screen with some error details I could not capture, because immediately it reboots. Do I have to change channels or something?
I think there is something wrong with your computer. getting blue screens and rebooting could mean a bad hard drive.

@danieldd..Bad hard drive? No, I don't think so, this occurs only when I use WiFi? Tether app.
I had an Evo that worked well with this tether app. I just got a USCC Moto Electrify and the kernal will not allow the access-control nor is the WiFi? signal visable by my other devices I'd like to tether to for an internet connection. where can i get the right kernal? what can be done to get WiFi? tether to work?
I have a Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon. It is rooted but I keep getting the errors. The errors I get are ad-hoc setting failed and setting channel failed. I don't what to do I have searched for hours and can't find nothing about this. I also reinstalled multiple times the binaries for the tether and still nothing. I tried multiple phone settings under devices still the same errors. Please help!
luckyluciano001@gmail.com, I have the same issue. Only tethering works. With 3.1 Beta 7, and 2.0.7

Thank You krrhodes@gmail.com. I can't wait till a wifi tether comes out so I can use my ipad. I'm not going to pay a company double for an internet connection they force me to get in the first place. No! I'm not abusing the service I just want to be able to use it on ipad or laptop on the go. I have a 40meg bit connection at home that is used once I get home. I pay for mobile internet why can't I use it as so and yes I have an unlimited plan that I will never give up. Smart phones are only going to get more faster yet most cell phone companies are doing away with unlimited plans what a shame for the consumer. And I can't wait for a custom rom and kernal for my phone. So I can have complete control over my phone like I did with my Droid incredible with cyanogen 7. Thank You to all the open source developers you are helping the consumer regain the full potential of their phones. Thanks!

my computer shows connected to my Samsung galaxy s2 via tether but I only show info going out nothing received and no connection for win XP explorer
On Rogers Razr 2 XT910, rooted. Tethering starts up, works fine for 30 seconds or so then phone freezes solid - blank screen, have to kill it with vol+/-/power and restart
If its rooted, should work fine.
Hey, great product!
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus but it fails to work. The errors are failed setting ad-hoc mode, setting essid and setting channel. Is the product not compatibile with ICS yet?
Thanks
Same issue as above. Will not work on rooted galaxy nexus! I installed the 3.1-beta7 and selected the galaxy S2 as my phone and i am only getting one error in the log : activating wifi interface - FAILED
PLEASE please fix this asap. Donated because thus worked so well on my Increeible running ginerbread
T-Mobile's Samsung Sidekick works perfectly allowing WP2 and infrastructure mode if you set the device profile to Samsung Galaxy Indulge and the Setup Method to Softap for Samsung(master)
I haven't tried it in this mode yet, but the regular mode allows internet access while talking on the phone (though that probably won't work for Edge connections).
Now I can use my no-3G tablet anywhere. Thank you.
When I attempt to change the SSID or passphrase, I always get a message that the SSID or passphrase is too short, even though they are over 15 characters, even the SSID! SSID should not have to 15 characters, should it? Let me know if you can help with this. Using an LG VM670 (Optimus V), rooted.
Ok
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch. Rooted using Odin. Downloaded Beta 9 version of Wi-Fi tether. Selected my phone from list of devices. When running Wi-Fi Tether (WFT) I get message "Tethering started with errors..see Show Log). After playing with various settings, I got it down to ONE "Failed"...the "Activating WiFi? interface.." What do you suggest? Thanks! I will gladly donate once I get this working.
Same as previous poster, I have a Samsung Galaxy S II / Sprint Epic 4G Touch. Have tried 3.1-pre-111, 112, 113. Also get "Tethering started with errors... see Show Log". Log has one failed item, "Activating WiFi? interface..."
If I uncheck WiFi?-driver reload, I don't get the failed item, but tethering still doesn't work. That is, my SSID doesn't show up on any other devices.
Also will be happy to donate once I have working tethering on Sprint Galaxy S2.
have a rooted at&t sgh-i897 getting the following error messages:
1. Loading WiFi? firmware (failed) 2. Configuring Softap (failed) 3. Starting Softap (failed) 4. Activating Wifi interface (failed)
I have the HTC Thunderbolt which I rooted with BAMF and none of my devices will connect.
Same error like all Samsung Galaxy users, any fix?
BBoyX5@hotmail.com
i have samsung galaxy epic 4g sph-d710 its rooted i have SU & CWM installed and when i try to turn on the wifi tether app it loads but nothing will connect or none of my devices pick up the signal even if im 6 inches from my pc and when i see log it says on the first line
thu jan 5 18:04:59 2012 loading WiFi? driver... failed(<-red letters) but everything else is green any advice? thanx yall
Another disgruntled epic 4g touch user here. After playing with settings for hours ive been able to get wifi tether to actually start but its dodgy at best. There doesn't seem to be a magic set of settings that will guarantee that it even starts. I'd give it 3/10 attempts it starts with no errors but it is moot because none of my devices seem to be able see my phone when it does happen to start properly. HALLLLLP!
When starting adhoc fails on release 2.0.7 on 3.1 beta 10 adhoc fails to start channel fails to set and wifi driver fails. I am running a rooted samsung transform on basic stock boost mobile rom. Any ideas in setting adhoc would be appreciated. Also a program run off the tether notifies me that NAT is closed.
my old Evo used to work great with my 3DS and PS3, now I have a Galaxy S2 and it wont even detect my phone on wifi, it only detects on laptops. can someone help?
Am I correct in assuming that this will not charge money to my account?
S2 becomes a adhoc with wifi tether those devices are not going to connect...
djshahid@gmail.com I installed/uninstalled all the latest betas, it sends out the SSID to connect to but when I'm connecting to it, it is stuck on obtaining IP address. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I had problems and couldn't figure out why my devices was able to see the wifi tethering but not able to connect to it. I changed two settings: Setup-Method: "Softap (master)" and checked "Routing Fix". I was now able to get my devices connected without a problem.
iazyban...@gmail.com ... thank you so much, that worked like a charm, I wasted all of yesterday replacing roms, replacing versions! Thanks again!
It is very good app. Works grreeaatt om motorolla xt720.
I have setup DroidX with this app and trying to connect to my Xoom with ICS. Is this possible?
Any way to walk me thru the 'hotspot' fix for Samsung Galexy Prevail?? Wiki Syntax- craigfar01...@Gmail.com
I've got this installed on my HTC Aria but when I connect to Andoid Tether with my iPhone, I don't have Internet connection. Any suggestions? And what is the one I'm supposed to have? I'm using the 2_08 or something like that. It says that Aria is featured so I think it's supposed to work.
And if anyone needs help installing this when you don't have the option for installing non-market apps, I will be happy to help you
I just added the WiFi? tether yesterday to my HTC Thunderbolt and can connect my laptops, but for some reason my Ipad will not connect. Is there any special settings or configurations in order to make the Ipad work? Any help would be great
How so I get around the error code 67
Nither the beta --> wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk nor the previous --> wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
..will allow encryption. I'm running winXP Pro on a laptop and am using a rooted Droid2. The beta requires me to constantly toggle access control to unblock data flow. This works either switching ON or OFF. The 2.0.7 version doesn't do access control. I can't set up a VPN for encryption. The 2.0.7 version works only in OPEN mode. What do I need to do to use the beta with encryption?
FWIW the beta version sure looks good. I wish all the features worked for me. Your help will be appreciated. Please let me know here: buzz@zz.com TNX.
=zz=.
Nither the beta --> wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk nor the previous --> wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk. I got it to work and then it no longer broadcast the SSID. I am not too worried that I cannot encrypt it. I would like just to have it available when I need it. Please let me know if there is something I am doing wrong. I have a Samsung Epic 4G Touch with sprint. I would like to know the setting for this phone. I am running SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick? root
Did anyone tested it on Galaxy Ace?
Is any of this available for the RAZR?
Has anyone found a way to get it to work with rezound? Constant errors and xoom will not see the betwork
Used DoomLord? root and UNroot last night. Worked great both ways on a Samsung Exhibit II. Re ran and rooted my phone then installed the latest beta 11 version. Could not get it to shut down. Selecting stop gave no errors but app would not stop tranmitting. Uninstalled and installed 2.0.7. No more problems. Works great. Also installed it on a Samsung Transform Ultra with no problems.
For those of you that are unable to connect to the internet just enable routing fix under Settings.
Awesome app, working great on my VZ GNex! Actually, it is working too good if such a thing...
My question, is there a way to set/limit the streaming rate to keep from using so much data during the session? I haven't played with the LAN or DNS settings to see if I can limit the speed. I tried 3G mode only but the reception is not that good for me (however 4G is amazing).
Any suggestions? Any chance to add an adjustable download limiter setting to the app? :-)
I loved it when I had it... Im looking for instructions on how to root my samsung precedent From straight talk... Ne help please email me at trista.finken@gmail.com thanks
Love this app, couldn't imagine life without it. Use it constantly to connect to my rooted Kindle Fire and laptops. Will make a donation on pay day. Keep up the great work, Dev!

Okay, I read through everything and my issue is not exactly addressed. I have a rooted Nexus S 4G, and when I first downloaded and installed the app, it worked perfectly. It was the ONLY wifi tethering app that worked. Now, after a month or so of working perfectly, the app runs, permissions run, the computer connects to it, the computer says that the internet is connected, however I cannot browse the internet. The web browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) act as if the internet is not connected. I decided to downgrade the app to see if it's just a recent app update that caused the problem, however it's apparently not the case. If you have any ideas on what could be the issue or potential apps that aren't compatible with Android Wifi Tether, please let me know. I'd be highly grateful and will donate to support future developments for this wonderful app.
i'm wondering if this program uses the regular att APN used to monitor tethering or if it uses another. When i tether, the "tethering or hotspot active" app from ATT turns on
I have an LG Esteem metro pcs. And it's the ZVC version. I successfully rooted the phone, and installed the tethering app. My laptop which is a Toshiba satellite A505-S6965 sees the network called android tethering and the signal strength is superb. Now the issue I have with this is that it doesn't connect. It says network taking longer than expected. I also turned off fire-wall and my antivirus just to make sure and it still doesn't connect to my laptop... The suck factor is that I see the network on my laptop with full bars.... Anybody can help me? Thank You Adrian
it says this app is incompatible with ur device and im runing 2.2 froyo on tmoble comet if u know what i need to do let me know thanks to anyone who can help
Can someone teach me how to root my epic 4g touch please
Go to xda developers .com
Experiencing Connectivity issues upon startup. Think this has more to do with living in "fringe" signal area than your program. Will continue using program and "tweaking" settings. Will Advise later. Attempted donation this morning with credit card thru your PayPal? site. Not sure if donation recorded as site kept trying to redirect me to PayPal? login. Will re-donate in couple days if donation not recorded. Keep up the good work and effort. Paid Early Termination fee to carrier for WIFI. Depending upon your program to access WWW. This "triple" dipping (charging) for WIFI by carriers infuriates me and should be illegal. Best WIFI tethering I have researched to date. Thank you.
Not fonctionnally on xperia x10 mini pro (u20i), on officially Android 2.1 and on CM 7.0.2, when i running this application, i have this message :
"Sorry, but your kernel does not all necessary features for runing this application"
Just finished re-installing the app into the phone (htc evo 4g). Ipad finds the signal but it wont connect. Can someone please tell me why? Is it the kernel version? current version on the phone is 2.6.32.17
Atrix 2.3.4 Installed, says I don't have Access-Control.. first minute it worked amazing! I was on barnacle before and averaged around 100 kb/s if lucky. This kicked in and had me at over 500... then it just started slowing down... My computer tells me I am at 32 kb/s the app on the phone says 560 kb/s... I dont think that the phone is accurate.
Anyone else on the same phone that has done tweaking for better performance?

On my Stratosphere, the app startup wasn't error-free, and somehow that prevented the AC from working. I hacked a few lines in tether.edify (see my comments in Issue 1329) and AC now works. Encryption doesn't, but I can leave with AC alone for now.
