Tethering - USB AND WIFI

Hi,
I know the phone is capable of doing both, and there are software/apps to do each function seperatly. But is there an app that does both for android phones?
I know Froyo has this capability built in... and will mostly likely be removed by samsung/tmobile. But here's hoping!
Thanks.

well you can do WiFi using either Wireless Tether or Barnacal. You can get Barnacal on the market. As for USB, thats prob not going to happen till we get some custom roms. For that you would need to alter the Kernal and firmware to acheive this.

I can't get barnicle or android wifi tether to work for more than a few minutes on my vibrant... Anyone else with more success?

You can USB tether your SGS to your computer out of the box. No rooting, no nothing.

Ugh. Barnacle Legacy works perfectly as does the newest version of Wifi tether.

Yes but there aren't any apps that do both?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App

Dang, both Barnacle and Wifi tether are giving me fits today. I know both of these are in active development, with new releases every other day it seems.
I am using the latest Barnacle available in the market, Version 24 as reported by the "Manage Applications" under settings. I don't see an "About" screen in the application, so I don't know what the *real* version is.
As for Wireless Tether, I am using version 23 as reported my the "manage applications" under settings, or 2.0.5-pre6 as reported by the About screen.

This method of tethering on Windows 7 works flawlessly. I've had issues using the Kies method and this fires up right away. It seems to be a little slower than the old wired tether app for my G1, but that could also be because I was tethering on the train in crappy weather. Barnacle works awesome on Windows if you follow these directions:
Baranacle Wifi Settings:
1. Change SSID - [User Preference]
2. Change Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK
5. Restart Phone As Desired
Settings For Windows:
Open cmd.exe as administrator
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1250 store=persistent
This is assuming your wireless network adapter is called "Wireless Network Connection"

Yeah, I have done all that and I am getting lots of errors:
NAT Restart: Network is down
And then a bunch of these:
Getting netmask of eth0 failed: cannot assign requested address
Followed by a couple instances of
NAT Restarting Now
NAT waiting for local interface
And yes, I have positively confirmed that I set the MTU on my computer.
And the Wireless Tether program now just run and then hangs. No FC, no nothing. When you press the big green icon to start the tether, you get the little animated spinner which freezes after a couple of seconds.
I'm trying to install Kies now.

I don't recommend installing Kies if you just want to USB tether. It's over 280 mb and the program itself kept crashing on me.
Just install the official drivers from Samsung's website then create a DUN connection based on the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737744.
Also, the official drivers on Samsung's download section are not up to date. The latest drivers are in the Kies install. I've zipped them up for x86 Windows users and put them online. You can download the zip and extract the files to your \Windows\System32\Drivers folder.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9387307/x86 Vibrant drivers from Kies.zip

for USB tether, I use PdaNet, it is super simple, no configuration needed on the phone or the computer... it works super fast and I've had no issues, just download the PdsNet desktop client and install on your PC and the PdaNet from the android market and done... you will be up and running in 5 minutes or less

That was perfect.
Posting over the DUN connection now. Thanks!

ad hoc for xoom

so with my minimal knowledge of phone stuffs ive kinda learned that when i run the wireless tether for root app on my phone it uses ad hoc to supply other computers with internet... basically im asking, will my evo be able to supply my xoom with internet?

Not at the moment, no support for Ad-Hoc networks in HC, not sure if there ever will be - very annoying.

I'm not sure but I believe there is a new version of Wireless Tether that will allow such a connection. When I first tried the Kindle connecting to my DX, it wouldn't connect. With the new version, it does.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

My Xoom connects to my DX with no problems.

Go download Wireless Tether from the website. The experimental one is called Wifi Tether now. Works like a charm for infrastructure mode so that the Xoom can tether with your phone. Also Bluetooth seems to work fine as well.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Is the Wireless tether for the phone or the Xoom (or both)? I need an option for the iPhone in case the steps posted here won't work!

is this an app that enables ad-hoc detection on the Xoom,
or
does it just provide a full wifi hotspot tethering feature for Android devices?
I also use an iPhone which supplies an ad-hoc hotspot connection that I need my Xoom to recognize and connect to.

So does that mean you got it to work that way? Is the app available through the Market?

No its not available in the market. Google wireless tether and look for wifi tether. The new app sends the signal via infrastructure mode. I think it applies to certain phone like Droid X and EVO.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

The Wireless Tether app is ran on the host phone wanting to be turned into a wifi hotspot. There are certain phones that run in Ad-Hoc mode in default (aka Droid 1) and the only option to tether the Xoom to them is via bluetooth. As others have said, the new version "WiFi Tether" is apparently enabling infrastructure mode rather than Ad-hoc mode, something that the Xoom can actually connect to.
There is no app that you install on the Xoom. When the WiFi Tether is ran on the host device, the Xoom just connects to it as a WiFi router and works just fine (or bluetooth if thats what you're doing).
So OP, if you can't get the new version of WiFi tether to work for you and your Xoom, try the Bluetooth tethering option, it's been shown in detail in a thread here how to do it, and it should work just fine.

The app is for android, and for the host device not the Xoom, so you'll need to Bluetooth tether your iPhone.

wpa_supplicant
I understand exactly what the OP is talking about, as i'm trying to do the same thing. What makes matters worse, is that ad-hoc connections ARE possible in android. Meaning android can connect to ad-hoc networks, but it requires swapping out the wpa_suppplicant file in system/bin with a modified one that doesn't filter out ad-hoc networks.
i've even tested this on my EVO, and it connects to other android phones incapable of broadcasting in infrastructure mode, it even connects to my ubuntu netbook broadcasting in ad-hoc...
(if you want to see what i'm talking, just search the forums for wpa_supplicant, something will turn up )
I've tried doing the same "fix" with my xoom, but it doesn't take. Using ADB or root explorer, i've replaced the orignal (making sure to save a copy just in case) and fixed permissions to 775, but it doesn't take. The wifi antenna will turn on, but it doesn't find anything once being replaced, not even saved networks or access points. I can get wifi back by restoring my backup, but i'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work on the xoom (3.0) but does with my evo (2.3).
as a side note, i'm using the right replacement for the wpa version returned by entering
"wpa_supplicant -v" in a terminal emulator or adb. It returns version v0.6.10 and there is a working, modified, v0.6.10 that should make things work, but doesn't....
anyway, if anyone has any input, i would love to hear it!

I am in the same boat. Regardless of whatever permission settings I have tried (mentioned in the dev forums that I can't yet post in), I still get a dead wifi with the new supplicant file.

Ah, I feel better now. It must have been the supplicant file, as I found this other one and it worked without permission modifications first time out.
You will have to google "xoom supplicant" and use the file found on the first response (android.net)-I can't post the link- the downside to attitude having, overlord type forums is inability for new users to provide any help, or at least with any convenience.

i try connecting my xoom to my computer, and it wouldn't work. i have the "Intel My Wifi Technology" but each time i set up a connection, the xoom finds it, but will take like a minute trying to connect and all i see on the xoom is "Obtaining IP address". it shows on my computer that a new device is connected. maybe this only works computer to computer. cuz i have had success with another laptop connecting to my computer with no problem.

I am using the Launchpad kernel and the WPASupplicant file and am connected to my phone's ad-Hoc network now. I used the beta Wi-Fi Tether and it worked great, but crashed my Samsung Galaxy S at least twice a day. So I installed the WPA file without setting any special permissions, just used Root Explorer to copy it an it worked fine.

Is there a way to connect on a ad-hoc hostet by a laptop (win7) yet?
That would be interesting, cause if it work this way, it will work for every phone or something else!

Hey Guys,
i am having a little problem. i am using the Intel My Wifi Technology. and i don't know if i am doiing something wrong or this is just not possible. but i try connecting my xoom to my laptop, and it is not working or connecting. i get a message on the xoom that say's Obtaining IP address", but nothing happen on the xoom. is this not yet possible on the xoom. i don't know if this is consider ad-hoc network or not, cuz i am new to all this.
but here is the link to intel website for the program i am using as a wifi hotspot.
http://www.intel.com/products/wireless/mywifi.htm
and here is a video of what the program does.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuAQjR76A68
anyone with knowlwdge on this please help me understand what i am doing wrong or not doing. or even if this is a possibility.

If you're not opposed to rooting your Xoom, here's another option. I just unlocked and rooted my WiFi-only Xoom yesterday, and inserted the supplicant file in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
It works like a charm! I'm running a WinMo Touch Pro 2 with WMWiFiRouter, and the Xoom now sees and properly connects to Ad Hoc networks. And, it still works with all other networks.
I don't know which way you prefer to attack the problem (from the Xoom or the phone), but I've been thrilled ever since I got all this done yesterday. Everything else on the Xoom is great, and now I've got the working SD card as well.

Is it right that you host a Wifi on your computer and tether internet to you tablet? I think its the usual problem android and ad-hoch, witch not work!

When I try to extract the file, a bad zip error message pops up. I tried it with root explorer ES file explorer. Is there any other download link?

The zip is fine, but it won't extract on the tablet with any zip tool I've found. Just unzip it on your desktop and push it over.
I had to use the following tip to remount as "adb remount" wouldn't work for me:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html
Also, on that tip about remounting - make sure you do "cat /proc/mounts", find the entry for /system and use that device in the command.
After installing this (and backing up the original first) I was able to find and connect to Barnacle on my Samsung Galaxy S phone.

Thanks this worked for me. Make sure you change the permissions on the file or you will break your wifi.

If you get "error" and no networks at all show, the permissions are probably wrong on wpa_supplicant. Do the chmod command to make it executable mentioned in the tutorial for the Xoom.

Because you must have a tethering supported plan (if not, you're probably about to when your carrier figures out you're using it, or else you might get hit with a per GB fee next month.)
My plan doesn't officially support tethering, and using the tether app supplied with your phone (or the Android sharing stuff built in) will require a tethering plan.
Using another app like "Barnacle" or similar, the phone acts as a NAT router and generates an ad-hoc wireless network. As far as the carrier knows, you're using the data directly from the phone, not over wireless tether.

I had them set back to the original config of 755, tried it twice to make sure it was right, I put the original file back and set permission and it worked with laptop but not A500. Might be something I will look further, thanks.

wpa_supplicant
Can someone post a working copy of the wpa_supplicant, for some reason I have tried d/ling 2 copies and I get the samething "No Networks Found". Permissions were set correctly I verified twice and when I put the original back in place it worked fine. So odds are I just have a bad file, any help would be appreciated.

The only problem I've found with this is that the network configuration is saved without the (*) that the ad-hoc is designated with.
For example, my ad-hoc is (*)network, when it is broadcasting. I click the network, enter the password, and it works just GREAT!!
However, after disconnecting from the network it removes the (*) from 'network'. The next time I want to connect again, I must re-scan and enter the password again. Not a huge bug, but still a bug. The Notion Ink adam saved the network with the (*) so it would always reconnect when I needed it.
Anyway, GREAT work to all who have made this possible. I appreciate it, a TON!
Thanks,
Bob

Yeah, I have the same problem, however that did that on my Windows 7 laptop, too.It might be something particular to ad-hoc networks.
I really appreciate this fix. Thanks for the assistance.
My problem is that I'm actually not getting any internet service while tethering. I'm going to have to test it a few times in a few different places to see if it's my phone's radio.

The hotspot app on your Desire creates a genuine WiFi infrastructure access point, whereas most of the 3rd party WiFi tether apps create an adhoc network, which out-of-the-box Android cannot connect to.

Can't tether to Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether?

I just got my 32 GB all rooted and stuff, trying to connect to my TBolt using Wifi tether but it never pulls a IP address. The stupid verizon wifi hotspot works fine, but not the wifi tether. Any ideas?

It keeps hanging at "Obtaining IP Address"

It's because Android doesn't by default support connecting to ad-hoc wi-fi connections (I know, it's irritating). There is a way to add ad-hoc support (or at least on phones there was, it may have changed for Honeycomb), though it requires root. I'll go see if I can find instructions for it.

Mine works fine. I changed the wpa supplicant file on my 10.1 and I broadcast in ad-hoc mode on my Thunderbolt.
Make sure once you change the wpa file that you set the permissions correctly too.

i had the same problem i had to go into settings in wifi tether and check routing fix. After that it works great.

actually my main problem I had today was that I still had a previous version installed of wireless tether alongside the 3.0 version. Check that and uninstall the old. It cleared it up

Got Wireless tethering to work But....

Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.

Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.

I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.

I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.

I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?

how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?

It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.

This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.

Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks

I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!

Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.

I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
