Wifi Tether worked for my Ascend on Cricket. I never tried Barnacle.

Yes. I didn't have any issues.

Ah, problem solved. I guess I was having alot of problems with my last root, so I just went back to z4root and re-rooted, now it works, but I was wondering is there anyway to make the wifi faster?

I can't say if you can but it was a decent speed on Cricket's 3G for me. Glad it's working for you now. Great app.

I know cricket has a limited bandwidth usage. Is there anything I can look for as a gauge to how much I'm using. This is my 1st day of tethering. There is a upload and download speeds on the app. Can i gauge my usage by that?

it seems that both wifi tether and barnacle will keep track of info downloaded per session, but if the app is closed the counter resets.

i think cricket has a 1 gig download cap w/ the unlimited plan and after you reach that your speeds are reduced (i think i am having that problem, but i don't know how i would check), but i don't know how you'd be able to get any better speeds than you are already getting, unless you are somewhere with poor service and you physically move to somewhere w/ better coverage... fwiw
