Thank you for this information. At first, I was having no luck. Then I realized I still had CM7's HotSpot Portable Enabled. Once I disabled it, and turned on Wireless Tether, It worked and my Laptop connected. Sweet! Thanks again.
[EVO 4G General] scrubed:
I did all the steps and my phone starts tethering no problem... no errors in the log.

However no device can see its network. I've tried different devices that I know are all working, tried with and without encryption... It seems like its not turning on the wifi card in it at all.
[EVO 4G General] whiterider13:
Here is the version of wireless tether I used on CM7. I got this from the app dev's web site.

To all of you - Did you reboot prior to re-installing?
[EVO 4G General] scrubed:
Uninstalled, rebooted, installed this and it worked. Thanks! :)
[EVO 4G General] whiterider13:
No prob. I am glad it worked for you.
[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
Finally! Uninstalled, rebooted and installed the version just posted above and it works!

I noticed that its a different version from app store, I also noticed that on this version I can choose a PW between 8 - 13 char long when before it said PW must be 13.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Yea, it had some changes, but I'm glad its working for you.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
I'm glad teh roxxorz got you guys up and running. Good deal.

og droid

Just used this fix on my moto A855 (droid 1) without an issue.

Cm7 nightly #62

Latest Primed test kernel (I believe #20?)

To those having problems:

sometimes it takes a minute for the network to show up. This is especially apparent when changing the SSID.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Glad it worked.

And this is true, also it can take up to around 3 minutes before an "internet connection" is established, just be patient with it.
[EVO 4G General] larry12345:
Hey, Do you just drag the rar file to the android.tether doesn't seem to work for me but i'm sure i'm doing something wrong. Thx Might need better step by step buddy.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
Once you download the .rar file, you need to extract the .bin file from it. Once you have it extracted, place the .bin file in the android.tether folder. Once you place it there, be sure that any prior versions of wireless tether are uninstalled from your phone. Then reboot the phone. Then once it's booted back up, install the Wireless Tether app. It should be good to go after that.

EDIT: I just zipped up the .bin file for you, so if you want, you can download this .zip file. Extract the .bin file out of the zip, and use that if you'd prefer it over the .rar.
[EVO 4G General] larry12345:
Hey you know what I got it going tyvm! bud
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
Nice. Glad to hear it. Take care. :)
[EVO 4G General] sledgie:
Argh.

First off, I want to thank k2 and roxx for providing all the background and hard work getting to where everyone is getting with their 4g speeds.

here's my scenario

just flashed CM nightly 64 tonight.

no wireless tethers on phone - fresh

unzipped .bin to android.tether

1st: tried 2.08.pre

result: 2.08 opened up, but so did the CM7 hotspot in the background. sometimes computer would connect, sometimes it wouldn't (attaining ip address.......)

end result : no 4g speeds even though 4g is connected (i get 4-7mb down)

ping 105-120 (tell tale sign, usually i get 150+)

down: 1.4mb/ up: 0.9-1.3mb/

2nd: deleted cache, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, same result - except sometimes hotspot wouldn't open.

3rd: did the same cleaning as above, but used the oriignal valpaak modified. no dice

btw valpaak would *NOT* go into infrastructure mode, only ad-hoc

4th: tried "wifi tether" made by same authors, V3.0 (yellow wifi signal).

opened it up, chose supersonic profile, hotspot active opens in background

all of the above are unencrypted wifi signals. i stopped using the access control even just in case. never could attain 4g speeds.

also fyi: i could never get this to work on Sense either. i have hardware 003, running 2.15.00.11.19, on prl 60678. i dont consider myself an idiot, but i still wonder how you guys all got yours to tether with 4g. i can tether through usb just fine, but i'd love to use this on my galaxy tab. even if i could get this to work on sense i'd be happy. very grateful you found out what the .bin was in order for a lot of people to benefit, i just wish i could too.

oh, and sometimes when i start up wifi tether it tells me something along the lines of 0- cannot tether, is your device rooted (yes, of course it is)

or elsee

"cannot write to so and so..." or "you phone is in a nonreadable state - reboot" etc.

any ideas? puhlease? :-<
[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
My 4G speeds while using wifi tether and the built in tethering of CM7 are horrid. If I am lucky I can get to 2.15 Mbps download, upload usually stays are the 1 Mbps area.

3G is even more disgusting. Luckily all I am going to need tethering for is when I finally get a tablet. Problem is my phone may last two hours while 4G is on and using the wifi hotspot feature. Maybe I will just get a tablet with a cellular radio in it for data, that will solve a lot of issues for me.

I also had similar problems to sledgie above after I flashed CM 7.0.3.1 from .2.1, I could not get either wireless tether or built in tether to work. It would connect to the network but I would not get any internet connection. I uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed and that seemed to do the trick for me.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Okay very in depth. Now this may be a minimal pain but for some reason it seems like something isn't over writing. So I'd like you to try:

1. Backup your rom and apps.

2. Do a clean install of nightly 64/65 then restore apps and data.

3. Re-create the android.tether folder on the root of your sdcard, along with placing the .bin file inside

4. Run the vaelpak or pre .08 version of wireless tether [never tested with wifi tether]

Let me know what happens.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
What I would do is backup your apps, then do a clean install of nightly 64/65, then try again, as 7.0.3 is a downgrade on 2.3.3 where nightly 62+ is on 2.3.4.
[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
I know the new nightly is on 2.3.4 (I have not tried it yet) but I heard there are MMS issues. I am waiting for CM to release a stable 7.1 or whatever he is going to call it. Do any of the new nightlies have everything working?
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Not yet, but toast committed something related to MMS. With any luck, the next nightly will have it fixed.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
61 and 62 are fair game with everything working.
[EVO 4G General] chuckie59:
Thanks

This solved it for me as well on Kings Ultra GB GB R4.:)
[EVO 4G General] rank78:
I fail so hard, nothing I do works. I tried wireless tether from the market and the one posted on pg12 and neither work. I tried the settings posted on pg12, no go. FYI, the wifi settings like encryption and the rest weren't available in the version from their website. Also, yes I remembered to reboot after uninstall. I enabled bluetooth in wifi tether, made it discoverable. My Xoom says its connected to my EVO under wireless settings but the EVO says paired but not connected. I hit the wrench on the EVO listed on my Xoom and it says connected, but no change. Maybe I just don't know what the steps are for wireless tether but I must have tried every combination. Is something supposed to pop up in wifi tether to get the devices connected? The only thing that came up was acknowledging bluetooth permission.

EVO with CM7.0.3.1 and Tiamat 4.0.1 kernel
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Okay, well no one has tested it with wifi tether, so it may or may not work...

For wireless tether try this:

- uninstall all wireless tether and wifi tether apps, then reboot

- on post 8 I posted a zip with the .bin file inside, extract the .bin file

- on your sdcard, create the android.tether folder [exactly like that, case sensitive], and place the .bin file inside

- from the OP, download and install the vaelpak wireless tether k2buckley provided

- after installing, run the app, allow super user permissions, and it should start up, no errors
[EVO 4G General] oblivior72:
Okay I just tested it with Wireless Tether for root users. I'm using the 2_0_8 pre1.apk EXPERIMENTAL build found here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Generic

Follow the instructions exactly.

1. uninstall any tethering app you have.

2. manually create android.tether in sdcard

3. put the bin file inside (that was kindly given to us by the author of this post)

4. install the .apk

5. restart

6. allow superuser permissions

7. and should work.

I'm running CM 7.0.3 btw.

Also note: When I first tried the app it wasnt working for me without Wifi-Encryption (Found in settings). Turn on wifi encryption put a passphrase and set your SSID.

If you enable Access Control make sure that you hit the checkmark for the computer that wants to connect and allow it.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
hey guys, this fix is working GREAT for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I can finally switch to CM7 which I really have always loved the most but Wifi Tether held me back.

I have one last issue. Using the Wireless Tether app in the first post, it works fine, but it shows as ad-hoc network. Because of this I cannot connect automatically. What is the solution to this? I have this one last obstacle to overcome!

I tried using a newer version, and it works and automatically connects (probably not ad-hoc). BUT it shows the cyanogenmod builtin tethering icon in the background so I don't know - is this killing battery life?

Would love to get it working so it connects automatically with the apk in the first post. Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G General] weztcoazt:
sweet i finally got it working....thanks for this great find...great job guys..
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
If you use access control, connect the peripheral you wish you connect, then on the phone, place a check mark next to it, and it'll be remembered, and should connect automatically when in use.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Glad we could help. :)
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
Actually I am referring to the windows component. Like in the place where u connect to wireless networks, usually there is a connect automatically box but I believe it is unchecked because it is an ad hockey network. Any idea if there's a way to make it non ad hoc? Or is that a requirement for the fix
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
As of right now, I don't know a work around for that..
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
Okay that's fine I'm just happy to have it working at all. so is that how it is for you also ? Click connect on pc. Wireless connection Each time?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
That is correct. It takes like an extra minute for the "internet connection" to be established, but it isn't too bad.
[EVO 4G General] sledgie:
Ok. Here are my guesses on why this is not working and new problems that have arisen.

I got my galaxy tab to work the other day. No encryption, just access control. Had speeds supposedly around 3mbit down.

Ping 130+.

When i connected my netbook, which does not have a N card (shouldnt matter) ping goes down to 90-110 and speeds max at 1.1mbit. No idea why this happens. Changed channels, doesnt sewm to help.

Today: i have resetted my phone since i used the 4g wireless tethering.

New issue today in the show log settings:

Loading bcm4329.ko module

(fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin from /etc/firmware)

Starting access point

(rest of log looks fine)

At this point, it does not seem to be loading the .bin in android.tether even though it is there.

Any ideas/help? Also, is it better to do a complete wipe and start fresh or loading data and apps after a fresh install? How could backing up prior and restoring the data benefit? It does sound like something isnt writing properly and id love to get this working. Thanks for any help, in advance.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
What I'd like you to do is:

-Uninstall all wireless tether apps

-Delete the android.tether folder

-Reboot

-Create android.tether folder [case sensitive] on sdcard

-On post 8, extract the .bin file from the zip I uploaded, place in folder

-Install the vaelpak tether k2buckley provided in the OP

-It should work, let me know if it doesn't

Also, are you all using proxies on your computer when tethering; I am and getting 6.8mb while on 4G tethering.
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
wait you're using a proxy? please explain :)
[EVO 4G General] sledgie:
Yes, please tell us and instruct us about the proxies. I would love to get this working, for Tab, Eee pad, netbook. Will reset now and try
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
For the Proxy:

1. Download filterproxy from the market [free] you don't need to edit any of the settings, this just lets your phone behave like a proxy server. Just note the proxy address, it should be 8000 by default.

2. Start up wireless tether

3. Open up terminal emulator type in netcfg

4. The last line you will see "etho0 UP" then an ip address most likely "192.168.1.254 "may not be that one exactly, but it will be in that format, write it down

5. In your internet browser, navigate to your options > change proxy settings > change the LAN settings

6. You will see a window pop up. De-select the autodetect on the top half

7. On the bottom under proxy server, check the "use as a proxy server..." box

8. Type in that "192.168..." ip address you got from terminal emulator, then the port should be 8000 [from filterproxy]

You'll be good to go after that, you can go to speedtest.net to confirm you'll see your 4G speeds...it'll depend on your signal strength, ect

IF YOU STOP TETHERING: go back into the lan setting, un-check the "use as proxy server... box, then re-select the auto detect in the top half. Then you can use it normally. And again, if you use tether, just go back in, then un-check, then re-check the boxes.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
There is no option like change proxy settings in stock 2.2 internet browser. Is their any other way to that. And second question if I switched 4g/3g i need to change my proxy settings?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
1. I'm sorry, I should have specified. You set up the proxy on the computer / device you want to tether to.

2. And if you switch from 3G/4G you don't need to change proxies; you may lose you internet connection for a spilt second on the tethered device, but it'll automatically come back.
[EVO 4G General] jon20usa:
Thanks. This guide worked for me (CM 7.0). My wireless tether app had been broken for quite some time. I'm glad to have it fixed.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Glad to have another satisfied customer.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
What browser are you use. Can't get any luck with proxy. I use FireFox
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I use the chrome browser.

On firefox:

Tools > Options > Network tab > Settings

Select Manual proxy configuration and enter the address and port in the HTTP Proxy section, then you need to check the box for "Use this proxy server for all protocols"

The IP address will be the 198.162...number you get from the terminal emulator, and the port will be 8000, the default set from filterproxy.
[EVO 4G General] nizbot:
Worked for me!

Stock 2.2 Captivate. Rooted.

Default tethering service fail.

Wifi Tether app supplied in OP, worked like a charm :) Tyvm guys.

I think it's 100% BS that AT&T is essentially trying to double charge for the data I use and ALREADY PAY FOR! It would be like Comcast trying to charge me for connecting my Linksys router to their cable modem.

Instead of milking your customers dry, invest those billions of dollars you're trying to buy T-Mobile with into your infrastructure AT&T!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well glad it worked for you. We're all trying to get the super bang for our buck. :)
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
Well man finally I did it when I connected first time I turned on tasken manager and Firs time I saw that my 4g jump to 14% as I now It's real fast. I don't have much time to test it but when I tried connect second time it gave my limit access I'm not guit sure why than I back to stock settings in browser it doesn't help I hope I'm figuring this out but anywhere thanks man I tried to fined thanks button and I don't but i read that you died three times is it true?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well I'm glad that you got it working. And it may give you limited access for like 2-3 minutes [it may take a few minutes for it to actually 'pickup' the internet]. And the reason why it may not have worked the second time is because you weren't tethering from your phone, you have to disable the proxy settings in you internet browser pc.

The thanks button is located at the bottom of every person's post here int he forums. You only get 5 thanks per day, so if you've used them up, the button goes away, and will return in the next 24 hours. Also, yes it is true that I've died 3 times.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
Do you remember where your soul was flying when you was out of the body don't get me wrong I'm not trying to joke I catch you if you do not wanna answer I know a few people once but three never God does not want you to die
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Kinda just like a limbo-y kind of state...its awkward.

[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:

[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
tex roxxorz I can't connect to any networks anymore no internet access
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Okay, are you tethering or not?

if no access, then that means you're stlll using the proxy address on your pc, then you need to disable it.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
I can't connect to any network WiFi tethering don't work in browser I set up no proxy didn't help may be I gonna uninstall filterproxy i run a manual diagnostic system tool on my luptop and in ping test section : failed no response: default gateway,DHCP server. do you now what that means
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Go into the firefox broswer on your pc:

Tools > Options > Network tab > Settings un-check the Select Manual proxy configuration. It can't find the internet because its set to use the proxy that isn't there.
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
I did its identify the network but still no internet connection
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Okay:

Are you trying to currently tether internet on your laptop from your phone?
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:
Yep all evening I uninstalled filterproxy and WiFi tether flash into recovery wipe cache and dalvik-cache than I installed WiFi tether app again. In browser I changed the settings and restart luptop no luck look like It's no browser any more the browser changed luptop setting and I can change that settings back any ideas ???
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
It seems to me that you aren't making the changes on your computer, which is why you can't connect. You need to disable the proxy on your computer, so you can connect normally. Change the settings in the computers to how it was BEFORE using the proxy.

I live in a city that is in the LTE extended coverage and have been bouncing in and out around my house, Its suppose to be solid coverage. But whatever. Does any one know what conditions would cause me not to pick it up? When I have the 4gs its full bars and good connection but Its in sporadic areas, Also will the new radios allow a better connection, I'm going to try and see but any advance knowledge would be great
[Thunderbolt General] jrm390:
Try putting your phone in LTE mode using the app Phone Info. I had the same issue and once I changed it picked up lte all the time.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
LTE on off from the market is just a tad quicker. I like it since I'm always switching between 4g and 3g only modes to save battery.
[Thunderbolt General] 1234567188:
So far that hasn't seemed to do the trick =(
[Thunderbolt General] madman34:
Try this

Go into EPST and set your REV-A to enabled instead of the stock eHRPD, as the algorithm has trouble in some locations. I had the same and even somtimes could not lock to either 3 or 4g until i did, made me think the device was bad but is ok now.
[Thunderbolt General] skillzo1:
How do u go into EPST
[Thunderbolt General] evolutioncsr:
Dial ##778 and hit dial then select "Edit Mode" the password is 000000

That is 6 zero's

Then go to Modem Settings, and select Rev. A change to Enable then hit menu and commit modifications. Your phone will then reboot.

[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
It seems more like this means "there's no LTE coverage here!" than anything, to me at least. A lot of our city is covered under "Extended" and there's no coverage in any of that area, and a lot of areas marked "4G LTE" aren't even covered. It doesn't bounce between 4G and 3G either.

I'd like to know the conditions too. it's probably that they're still testing the towers often.

[Thunderbolt General] ben7337:
They are also not too accurate with their maps, one person posted that they weren't getting coverage where they were supposed to, even outdoors, called it in, and a day or 2 later the map was updated to show that there was no coverage there. If they have a down tower or something that's one thing, but if you are within extended coverage and clearly out in the open and can't get signal you should definitely call in and let them know.
