Could you please try this:
Download the latest beta-version (currently beta7) available in the 
download-section.
Open the app. Press "menu" and go to settings.
Select "Samsung Galaxy S2" from device-profiles.
Try again.

On my galaxy nexus,

I used the version 3.1 beta 7 and changed my profile to the Samsung Galaxy S2 
as the above comment requested and only got one error this time:
"Activating WiFi interface..."
"failed"

The result is a hotspot is created and I can see it from other devices, however 
when I attempt to connect the connecting device the connection does not 
succeed. Sometimes I get as far as "obtaining IP address..." but usually I just 
get "connecting..." indefinitely

I've also got the issue.  For what it's worth, it even caused my phone to soft 
reboot upon trying it once, though I wasn't able to replicate it past that.

Same here. Tried lots of changes to profiles, etc but no dice. Hopefully soon!

Same issue!

I also have a similar issue.  I used the Samsung Galaxy II profile, and 
everything seemed to work, but was unable to get an IP address when I tried to 
connect to the hotspot. I haven't experienced any crashing though.

I should point out that the Japanese Docomo version doesn't have the built-in 
tethering capability, which was my original motivation in wanting this app.  
Others may be in the same boat as well.

Same problem here. Rebooted for me after trying the SGS2 profile as well.

Can you guys please download theis following experimental build, and try the 
Samsung Galaxy II Profile:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-pre108.apk

Does it give you an option for SoftAP under tethering method?

If it doesn't work.  Can someone please upload a /system/build.prop file, and 
possibly find a file called "bcm4330_aps.bin"

Go into terminal or adb, and type

$ su
# find / | grep "bcm4330"

The file and path should show up.

I didn't find bcm4330_aps.bin, but I did find fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin.  I've 
attached that and build.prop at http://www.multiupload.com/6QMOVS4EE2.  I can 
upload the stock build.prop, too, need be.

I suppose that goes to say that your build and suggestions didn't work.

Original comment by harpodel...@gmail.com on 16 Dec 2011 at 5:24

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There was a few other wifi-drivers in the drivers directory on the phone, made 
a zip out of them (dunno if they're useful). Build.prop also included.

bcm4330.hcd
fw_bcmdhd.bin
fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin
fw_bcmdhd_p2p.bin

@harpo:

Thank you!  I actually needed the path to that "fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin" file, 
rather than the file itself.  Also, a stock build.prop would help out.  I'm 
wondering if toro is really you ro.product.device, or if the ROM maker changed 
it.  Cause I thought it was maguro, unless that's the gsm version, and 
verizon's is toro...

Also, the attach files feature on here works well.  Somehow I downloaded an 
.exe file while trying to get to these files. :(  Thank god I'm on a Mac.

Thanks, again!

the path is /system/vendor/firmware

Original comment by s...@blosphere.net on 16 Dec 2011 at 6:05

[GoogleCodeExporter]

/system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin is the path to the file

As for the stock file, give me about 15 minutes.

toro is the device name for VZW LTE Gnex. I will get you a stock build.prop 
shortly if the one supplied is not stock.

@sty & @harpodeltatheta

Thank you both for the files and info.  From what I'm seeing of the kernel 
sources, this firmware and driver is a bit different from what the SGS2 is 
running.  We are at the moment working on getting SGS2, and Epic Touch 4G, both 
with the Broadcom 4330 wifi chipset like the GNEX to work in Infrastructure 
mode.  So, hopefully we'll be bringing all of these devices online with 
Infrastructure mode soon.

Aloha,
Jeff

Would love to have this working as well. Let me know if you need any additional

Dumb question, how does one get into infrastructure mode?

@Cameron

When I was using 2.0.7,  I believe it ran in infrastructure mode by default.

barnacle as well.

Yes, I'm having the same issue. I rooted (that was interesting alright), 
downloaded, and it gave me the same hour. Any ETA on a fix? I'd love to have it 
in a week :D
