Thumbs up [APP]New Version of WiFi Tether is up *8-12-10*

http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...4.apk&can=2&q=

Just saw this a few minutes ago.. thought I would share it since I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.


Update: I just tested with my laptop and it is indeed working.
this is the first version that has worked for me at least. besides Barnacle.

Update 2: [BUG] It starts fine and functions for me. But when Disabled and then re-enabled the program says unknown state.
After rebooting it works again.. so if you turn it off you have to reboot to use it again. minor inconvenience , but better than no tethering at all.


Update 3: New version is out and available here

http://android-wifi-tether.googlecod...2_0_5-pre5.apk Good eye dabezt1

This fixes the unknown state issue. I had to reboot after installing to get normal operation from it.

I noticed on code.google.com that this version has been deprecated but it seems to be working fine on the vibrant.


Update 4 From Zephik

Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8-TEST1 *** HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL ***

New version of Wireless Tether available: http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...downloads/list

Update 5

From the following link you will find all available versions. Check them periodically
for updated apk's

Again, Thanks for the heads up Zephik

This works so much better than Barnacle for some reason, just going on speed alone.

Well I am sure the bugs will get worked out. But we have something viable for now.

Also not a fan of barnacle..

Worked great on edge. Faster than barnacle. I also got the error after closing it and had to restart to use again. Will try out with 3G later today, but seems awesome so far.

Works great so far. Pulled +3mbps on 3g on a speed test via a tethered ipad. It does result in the "unknown state" error on disconnect however... but all that matters is that it works!
