Hello, I completely rooted my phone with superuser and I have downloaded the WiFi tether app(wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk) on my phone. When I start tethering I get an error message. I tried changing the device profile to generic ics (wlan0) and generic ics (wlan1), enabling routing fix, mss clamping and all that and I still get the message. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue. Thank you.

moved you to the evo v 4g root forum.

have you tried others? you can other versions here: https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
 
Have you tried to choose Netd (master) as the Setup-Method in settings along with the other things you've done?

Also, make sure that WiFi-driver reload is checked too.
 
Thanks...well I downloaded the latest version from the list and everything works on the tethering app but now my phone is not visual on my tablet

I did some reading, and it seems if you try to tether via an adhoc network, it would most likely won't be viewable on your tablet.

Which goes back to my previous question: have you tried to choose Netd (master) as the Setup-Method in settings?
 
Well I got it to work...the WiFi driver reload 2 was checked so I checked just the wifi driver reload option and all of the sudden WiFi tether connected with the tablet...thanks for all the advice guys I appreciate it

This was the magic for me as well. Tried all the other fixes but this was the one.
