Wireless Tether for rooted

[rfranken]

I get wireless tether going, my laptop can see my dx. It can also connect to it. But then the laptop can't connect to the internet (it says local only). What am I missing?

latest android version OTA with z4rooted

thanks,

You have to allow the connection in the app. Dig around in the menus. You'll see it

If your referring to Access Control....it sees it...I allow it and enabled it.
Didn't make a difference with that on or off.


thanks,

I had this problem when I first rooted for wireless tether. Are you running the latest version of Wireless Tether? Not sure how up to date the version in the market is, but after I downloaded the latest version from here: Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code it started working.

+1
Was about to say the same thing. Market ones are no good

I just tried the very newest version there and same thing. It connect ...it has access control...but local only. No internet.

Do you have to run anything else besides Wireless tether to get this to work? any other apps in the background or what am I missing here.

 

[maderschramm]

May sound dumb but you have to bee root and grant su powers to the app...do other su apps work? Check superuser.apk and make sure the tether has access

thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it.

Yes, I'm rooted.
Yes, superuser gives access to wireless tether.
every time i start the tether you can see that superuser rights were granted.

I see 1 error in the Show logs spot.
Enabling Access control...
failed

everything else is in "done"

I dont see a way to look into the Access control error. When I connect with my laptop it shows up on my DX and is given access control(or so it shows) and my laptop does connect ...just local only

thanks,

edit...yes other root apps work

This may not be what you want, but I hacked my nvram and use the 3g hotspot app. That will def work...tbh has the tools you need

I've never tried it (I'm happy with Wireless Tether for root since I got it to work), but I've read good things about Barnacle as a tethering app for root users.

 

[maderschramm]

I was actually talking about the bloatware app. I have no expeience with barnacle

Barnacle works....thanks. I'll just use that program instead.

thanks again
