Tether fix

---

I take no credit at all for this fix, but it worked for me. I have an HTC One S unlocked and rooted, downloaded wifi tether and started it but my 300 wouldn't see it no matter what I did in settings. So I remembered there was a fix for the Prime, so I thought what the hay, why not try it, just rename my original wpa-supplicant2 to wpa-supplicant2.bak, applied the patch and now I can see my phone and connect to it no problems.

IMPORTANT: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING AND DON'T FOLLOW THE STEP BY STEP IN THE LINKED THREAD. YOU BORK YOUR WIFI YOU HAVE ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE STEPS OUTLINED!

this makes me wonder if the 300 firmware is actually older or behind the prime one. on the last update for prime, over a month ago, this fix wasn't even needed anymore. You can tether normally now. the update erased all the old files and replaced with new ones allowing tether. I guess you all will get the update to allow tethering soon enough.

I'm sure alot would appreciate this fix until the next update for 300 allows it.

It must be something with HTC phones then, I have had 2 different model HTC phones both with the tether issue, this solved that issue for me.

Must be something with HTC Sense, not the hardware. It saw my Evo 4G with MIUI v4 immediately after I turned on the hotspot.

Edit: It might even be the Wifi Tether app. I used the built-in Wifi tether in the ROM.

I have an HTC resound tethered to my tf300 since the day I got it.

No issues tethering with Samsung Charge. :thumbup:

I have a Rezound and my TF300 will see it, but whenever I click on it, it just says "Saved" but won't connect. Every other computer in my house will connect just fine. The TF300 connects fine to other open hotspots. What gives? You think I should give this a shot then?

EDIT: I'm running the latest 4.0.30 firmware for the TF300

Nevermind! I got antsy & went ahead and did it. It worked! WTF is up with us not being able to natively to use ad-hoc networks?

Oh dude, you just made my day.....This exact problem has been driving me crazy for days. It worked fine with the Sense ROM I had but I went back to CM7 and it stopped working. Going to try this when I get home and report back.

tethered my galaxy nexus without any tricks using Fox-fi.
using "wireless tether for root users" would allow the TF300 to connect, but it wouldn't transfer any data.
