Because the name is rediculous.
EDIT: I just got this to work and it seems great! To get it to work you need to press menu while in the app and go to settings. At the top of setting press change device-profile and choose Samsung Fascinate from the list and you are good to go (atleast it was for me).

thats cause they use ad hoc tethering which stock android doesnt support. You need infrastructure tethering which this apparently does....although I forgot to test it last night.

Exactly, i've tried some tweaks and apps which did not work until i stumbled
on this version. Google search, best thing ever.
FYI - This works for wifi on the Kindle whereas the old tether didn't. Make sure you go to settings and select the "device profile" to Samsung Fascinate.

Works great.....good find.
Thanks for the tip! This works great! Been using the vzw hotspot hack but i would keep having data issues while using it. This is working flawless! Even played 2 hrs of Black ops on my ps3 with zero issues using this. I immediately uninstalled my old wireless tether v2.07 cuz although infrastructure was supposedly supported with it, I could never get it to work. Anyway, thanks a bunch for the find and sharing this with us.
Sweet, thank you OP! I was trying to get wireless tether to work for 3 days now.
Great find, man. This works so much better for me than barnacle. Thanks for sharing.
Won't launch the Hotspot for me. Keeps giving me "Started with errors" and then in the log say it can't load the firmware
Running SirGatez Blazed kernel with DJ05 Superclean.
Why not just use the Verizon 3g mobile hotspots with the help of qpst.

Only issue I've had with this, is that it will randomly shut my phone off. It's weird. No reboot. Just turned off.

Same here. After about an hour of tethering using this app, it will reboot randomly. Kind of annoying when im in the middle of something
But works well other than that.

Anyway, there's a newer release of v3.0 out. You folks still getting random shutdowns with this?
What wireless tether app is everyone using? I am currently trying the 2.0.8 off their google code page, but it works very sporadically.
Anyone have a good method for this?
Thanks!

Try "A WiFi Tether AP Mesh Client" by Open Garden, Open Source. It worked great for me.
I have 2.0.6 I haven't tried it on 4G yet but not sure if that matters. Worked perfectly.

Ya if you go into wireless settings there's a new option, just check it and its a wireless hotspot so you don't need the app
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Barnacle is VERY slow... most I got on a speed test was 1.5mb on my desktop. The built in wireless tether just doesnt work. Never connects.
the built in wireless tether on cm7 did not work for me either but i didn't mess around with it much and i already a saved apk for wireless tether 2.0.6 which i have been using ever since i rooted months ago on all different roms i've tried. worked for me. i had to change the channel in the settings to get better connection since i also have a dinc running cm7 and also using wireless tether 2.0.6 on there too.
I am using 2.07. I have to start, then stop, then start again to get it going the first time I use tether after a reboot, but other than that works great. 3.1 beta 1 and CM7 tethers would not work for me. Also tethering with 4G.
Hello,
My TB is not rooted. What do you think is the best app for doing wireless tethering? Setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot, I guess.... I'm using a windows 7 PC.
Just do a search for "tether" in the Google Play Store.. I'm rooted.. but the free "clockworkmod (no root)".. looked like it might do the trick, it uses Usb instead of WiFi.
I found the stock app from Verizon to work well before they axed the ability to use it without paying for the service. It was very easy to set up the SSID and password and even monitor the connected devices IIRC.
Root ur phone ur missing out on so much

Thanks for the replies!

I tried out clockworkmod's Tether. It works pretty well, although it does disconnect every once in a while, and it's USB, so my bandwidth is limited by that. Also, it's not as convenient as WiFi.
ArmyAg08-
Yes, this is kind of the type of thing I'm looking for. Not Verizon though.

I'm not quite ready to root this phone yet. But when I do, what would you recommend for a WiFi tether?
Have you tried 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root?
If you go to the play store and search no root tether, it should be the second option down.
I know several people who use this and are satisfied with it.
If you do root your phone in the future, I recommend either WiFi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle WiFi Tether.

I usually use the default one on the custom ROM or wireless tether which both work very nicely and run smoothly.

1-Click Wifi Tether No Root apparently does not work on HTC phones. If anyone knows a workaround to this, please let me know, as 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root seems to be a great app.
And thanks for the info about the rooted apps -- I may try them in the future
I forgot about that. Lol. They don't have HTC phones.
Anyways, just search no root tether in play store and try what's available.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, there seems to be NO way to utilize the WiFi Hotspot Tether on HTC Thunderbolt anymore, rooted or not.
All of the existing WIFI tether apps do not do anything on HTC Thunderbolt. I've tried them all, on multiple ROMs.
The ONLY things I've found that still work are the PRO versions of EasyTether and PdaNet, via USB cord.
I'm still trying to get the bluetooth tether for PdaNet to work, but so far without much success.
I can't wait until next year to get a new phone that I can actually root and wifi-hotspot again.
According to the Foxfi app it's an HTC block not TB specific. That being said I blue tooth tether with no issues at all both CM7 and with Sense roms. I don't even use a special app with CM7 just make devices discoverable and pair, BAM! some native Bluetooth tether automatically kicks in on CM7 and with Sense I use the Foxfi app and follow the blutooth tether instructions. Make sure your devices have tun.ko installed (use tun.ko installer app in the play store). My tablet didn't (asus transformer tf101) so I had to and root is required to do it.

I can work wireless tether perfectly on my (rooted) tbolt... but I don't use the stock Verizon app.

Just checked and Open garden teather works fine on my rooted Tbolt.
It had tried a number of others in the past and they had issues tethering my Asus tablet. Open Garden was about the only one that worked.

What has changed that does not allow tethering? My friend said she was able to tether all the time and now she can't. Says she is on the same ROM (bamf) and has not made any changes,

For some reason I cannot wifi tether either. I am running Synergy. None of the wireless tethering apps I have tried have worked for about a week now. I used to use Wireless Tether with no issues. Now I have to go back to PDANet and USB. Any ideas anyone?????

Same here, I'm at 60gigs and counting. I think the most I've use back in Jan was 145 gigs. My wireless tether works just fine without an issue. Something must be wrong with script on those peoples phones that can't use wireless tether on rooted Tbolt.

Hi there guys,
Which ROMS are you running on your TBolts? I am running Synergy, and like I say it was working up until a couple of weeks back, and now no go. Perhaps I need to switch ROMS or something. I find it strange that several of us are having issue. At any rate, it is very interesting indeed.
Thanks in advance,
Stat

Search function. Yes. It works fine. Root, install WiFi tether, generic jb setting, routing fix and miss(or whatever) clamping. And it works just fine.

Good to know.
Or you could try FoxFi, which doesn't require root. Not sure whether it works on the One, would love to hear whether anyone has tried it. http://foxfi.com/
Hopefully getting my ONE on Friday. I have to use tether for work everyday, so good to know I can use it right away.
I'll keep an eye on this thread for any other good methods. Thanks guys

If you are ok with Bluetooth tethering, then FoxFi works - but you need a PdaNet client on the connecting device. I've tested running FoxFi on my One, with PdaNet Tablet (which is free) on my Android tablet, and it worked like a champ.
If you are trying to connect to a Windows computer or Mac, you need the PdaNet Desktop Client, which can be found here: http://pdanet.co/a/
I have not yet been able to get this connection to work, when I try to pair PdaNet on the laptop to the phone PdaNet gives me an error message - I have a request in to PdaNet support.

I believe that wi tether will work fine for a lap top but if you want to tether a tablet junning JB that is where you will have an issue I will try this blutooth
Hey, do I have to use a VPN while I'm using this so Verizon doesn't know I'm tethering?
