Barnacle not working

---

Is anyone able to connect to internet using barnacle wifi on your phone. My thrive doesn't see the connection. It can find the connection to the paid tether but not barnacle.

Barnacle won't work without rooting your thrive. Google wifi tether download and look for the latest beta. It did the trick for me.

Barnacle uses ad-hoc which is not native to the Thrive. If you root the device, there is a patch for ad-hoc support.

There are two options here root your thrive and install the new wpa file or get your rooted phone to run in ap mode instead of adhoc mode. wif tether is now running ap mode if you have the right kernal and hardware to use it
