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...

Thanks again..
Now in general, don't think my wifi is working. It will not turn on. Just keeps stay at Turning on. this could be the root of my problem. Also, mine just reads Tethering..not Tethering & Portable Hotspot.
Thanks for your help.
