Also same problem: Moto Droid and MBP. I connect the phone to computer but when 
I navigate web, phone is showing no up/download in status or 3G status. Have to 
reboot phone twice to get it to work.

I have EVO 4G & had same problem. Open WiFi tethering App & hit menu on phone. 
From there hit "About" Then tap the link for project home. From there tap 
Downloads. Select wireless tether 2 0 5-pre7.apk to download & replace the 
other tether app. It's the same app but different (its over my head at this 
point but it works). Now you shld b ready to go & tether. For those of you with 
something other than EVO if it doesnt work I wld try all of the different files 
listed. Trial & error method. It really doesnt take that long so it'll be a bit 
of a hassle but well worth it. If anyone has an HTC Desire let me know what you 
find out. I'll be rooting my buddys  Desire in a couple days so any input wld 
help save some time.

@JPalmer629 - your suggestion of reinstalling with tether 2 0 5-pre7.apk worked 
perfectly for my rooted Evo (unrevoked3) on Froyo (2.2). Much appreciated.

Similar problem here.  I'm I am using Android 2.2 on Samsung Infuse w/ AT&T. I 
have installed both versions listed for Samsung. It appears on the phone that 
it is working properly but nothing can detect the Wifi it is supposed to be 
sending.  When I try the (Re)-Install binaries/configs from the settings menu, 
it says "couldn't install file data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq".  Any 
ideas?

I had the same problem with EVO 4G and tried the 2.0.5-pre7.apk but 
unfortunately it did not work for me. Frustrating as it used to work at one 
time. May try an older version?

I've tried the pre7 app as well as older versions all to no wifi? Shows 
connected but no internet? Frustrating and don't know what to do next?

I have just rooted my Sprint Galaxy S2 using superoneclick and then installed 
wifi tether 3.1 beta11 without issue. Starts and runs normally. My problem is 
that no computer, ipad, or android tablet even sees the phone as an option to 
connect to. Also the download and upload screen shows 0.0kb while tethering. 
Can anyone help?

I just rooted and added latest wireless tether.  App starts and runs normally, 
but nothing seems to be able to recognize the signal and the download and 
upload shows no data being moved, so it really isn't working.  I uninstalled 
and installed a few times, tried version 9 and that one doesn't even load 
properly.  I've tried selecting specific phones instead of defaulting to 
'auto', but no luck.  I tried changing the ssid, doing with and without 
encryption turned on....but no dice.

I also have the Epic 4G Touch. I am running the stock root for sprint EL29 and 
the wifi tether does not transmit signal. My Xoom, ipad or hp laptop does not 
find ssid or anything indicating the signal being transmitted. I do notice that 
when wifi tether starts my wifi icon disappears... Please help

Same issue here, samsung epic 4g touch, el29, rooted, with wifi tether.  Wifi 
tether starts normally, but i can't see the ssid on any of my devices.  Yes, i 
am broadcasting the ssid.  Please help.

advice. I installed 2.0.7 stable and it works wonderfully. Thank you!

On the sprint galaxy s2 / epic 4g touch I was able to get the wifi tethering to 
transmit, but not able to connect to any devices. They see it and indicate, 
"Saved" but will not connect. Ideas?

Just got my daughter a new phone and took her HTC 4g that is rooted. She has 
had no problem with wifi tethering but since it was changed over to my number I 
have noting but trouble. At first the app would say it was tethering but no 
wifi signal. Then when you turned off he tethering it showed it was off but was 
still sending a signal and I would have to reboot phone to turn off. 
Uninstalled re installed several times and it no goes off and on but I still 
get no wifi when its on and tethered. Somebody please help asap!!!!

I downloaded and installed the wifi_tether_v3_3-pre2.apk and it doesnt transmit 
an ssid or im not picking it up on ant devices or laptops! I have a rooted Razr 
Maxx HD 32 GB 1 ghz snapdragon processor with the newest version of Jellybean 
what am I doing wrong? Ive changed the profiles to all CDMA settings and it 
still wont transmit, And I also uninstalled the verizon wifi hotspot app...

outputting signal and can't tether anymore.

For the people with Motorola Razr problems I have the razr maxx and had the 
same problem. I fixed my issue by downloading a file manager app such as es 
file explorer file manager and located the folder 
data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifitether/bin and deleted the 
com.googlecode.android.wifitether/ folder. 

I then uninstalled the 3.3 beta 2 update restarted my phone and then installed 
the 3.2 beta 1 version located in the download section of this website. It 
works now however even though I have my security turned on it shows open 
network. Not much of a problem I guess with access control also on.

I uninstalled and reinstalled several different versions on my Razr Maxx. I 
finally had luck with Version 3.2 Beta 2, not version 3.3. Hope this helps 
someone. My upload and download both said 0 as well and would not broadcast the 
SSID to my laptop. Looks similar to Roy's solution except he tried beta 1.

I was having same no transmit problem with Droid Razr Maxx.  I enabled routing 
fix (which I needed with my HTC Thunderbolt) and 3.2 beta 2 works like a champ. 
 Great Product!!!!
