Froyo X and Android Tether
 

I can't get the program to start tethering. Anyone have any suggestions. I have tried posted in the android thread asking this question but it is getting over looked. Before the current 1/28 update it asked if I was rooted. But now it just says it can't start.

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

Are you doing wifi tethering, or USB tethering?

Using the built-in app or an external app?

3rd party, there's Barnacle Wifi tethering, which seems to work - but I prefer the built-in utility as it seems to create an actual AP as opposed to an ad-hoc cxn.

For USB, there's EasyTether - installs an app on your PC, and then uses adb to bridge the network connection to your PC - works like a champ!

I am using wireless tether for root users or android tether. What built in app is included? I am trying to use wifi tether.

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

You're not getting crashes from the built-in wifi tethering? Particularly crashes when you disable it, freezing the whole system?

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

am I blind. Where is this built in app? What is the name. I feel stupid if I am overlooking it.

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

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

USB doesn't work thru this mode, you have to use EasyTether for that.

AFAIK, the built-in one works, but as was stated earlier it implodes if you tear down the hotspot and try to start it back up.

With that said, I also got a TON of SoD's when doing wifi tethering... For me, USB tethering works better (less SoD) and it's faster. Plus, it charges :p.

I will try the built in app. I avoid easytwether because you have to pay for https site access

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

Which is, I would say, the only "downfall" of the software. They're just tryin to make a buck, and it's the only option we have for USB tethering at the moment ;).

Yea use the wifi tether app that came with the original 1.28 build... I tried mine the other day, and it worked really good! Pretty much as fast as my normal wireless connection... showed up as "android tether" on my laptop

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

I don't see any failures there.

So you're using the built-in tethering app...? What's the problem, does the AP never show up on your laptop?

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

yes, i am using the built in wireless tether app from foryo x build 1/28. access point never shows up on my laptop.

Re: Froyo X and Android Tether
 

Have you tried on FRX04?

If not, there's 3rd party apps - barnacle wifi tether seems popular.
