I guess I'll ask again.

Does wifi work in general? If it doesn't, wifi tethering certainly won't work.

You've got to poke around the settings app more! Lots of hidden gems in there .

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot...

USB tether doesn't work (it does with EasyTether + adb, but native one doesn't work yet), but wifi tethering should - again, assuming your wifi works in general.

O and to answer your question - you do not need to turn on wifi manually. I just suggested testing wifi to make sure that wifi on the phone works...
