Hi! This HTC seems seems to have a texas-instruments wifi-chip built-it. So,
there is currently no "device-profile" available which would work.
I will try to add one but I won't be able to test that at all (I don't own such
a device) - so any help is appreciated.

HTC Amaze
Android 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.0
Software number: 1.36.531.6
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g19a3d1a htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1
I am experiencing the exact same issue as mamefan1. I have noticed that when I
first start Wi-Fi Tether, it will appear on an SSID scan list (on a computer or
connected device), but only for a few seconds, then it's gone.
I would also be willing to help test this. Thanks for working on it. Please
let me know if I can help.

Please try the latest experimental version:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-pre100.apk
I've created a profile for the amaze but I'm not able to test it.

What exactly does not work? Any error-message in "show log"?

WiFi Tether log indicates:
"Starting hostapd...
failed"
Logcat shows:
E/hostapd (13032): 2 errors found in configuration file
'/data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/conf/hostapd.conf'
It starts and claims to be working but other devices still don't see the AP.

Getting the hostapd failed error here on Amaze 4G rooted, stock, using

Mmmh. To be honest ... I don't know what's going wrong here. Will check it - no
promises.

3.1-pre105 same issue with hostapd failed. Is the latest experimental code
available via svn? Was thinking of seeing if I could debug it on my phone.
(already have eclipse, ADK, etc)

@matt: no, the source-code of the 3.1 branch is not released (long story short:
it sucks when test-/experimental-versions find its way to android market) - but
if you are really interested in helping ... we will find "a way" you get it.
I've uploaded a new test-version. Changed some parts in the
hostapd-configuration. Not sure if that helps ...
Any kind of info might be helpful. If you can please provide logcat and/or
dmesg output. Thanks.

Oh. The download link I forgot:

Just tried the V3 1-pre106.apk. When i choose "htc amaze" for device profile
it turns on the stock mobile hotspot feature. meaning, i see the wifi tether
icon in the notification bar and the mobile hotspot icon in the notification
bar as well. My computer can see the wifi now and connect to it but i dont
have internet access. Same with my tablet. its getting closer! What do you
need to help you out with this?

v1_1-pre106 is working for me now with my Win7 laptop. I enabled the "routing
fix" in the settings to get it working. Other than that, I left everything at
defaults.

106 works for me with the routing fix, and encryption enabled.

FYI, after reading that the others were working with enabling routing fix i
went back and tried again. it is confirmed working properly now. both on my
galaxy tablet and my win7 pc i get perfect connection with no additional hacks
needed! thanks!

no go for me. appears to work - the log looks good, but the wifi connection
times out. this is bad - my G1 still works fine as a wifi hotspot and doesn't
generate a $15/month upcharge to T-mo.
