Which Froyo build has Portable Wifi Hotspot working?

I'm currently on mattc 1.5 and everytime I turn on portable wifi hotspot, the system restarts itself.
So anyone has tried out this feature on other builds?

I hear it doesn't work on any. It. Also hear that some of the tethering apps wor.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

yeah, i think NONE of the builds are having it working now..

yes, thats the only thing which isn't working. all other features are working very well.
i hope the wlan router will work in future by an update
thx for the developers!!!

I have other tethering applications working, such as WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS.
Then again, other in-market applications exist that serve the same or similar purpose. Also, the wired, USB-tethering works quite nicely...
Hopefully the Wi-Fi Hotspot issues are worked out soon!

WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS should also not be working. It uses the same data tables as the built in hotspot. I've tested wireless tether on my two builds and it does not work.

wifi tethering its working !!!
step 1
install pdanet on pc
(cant put link cos im new-google it)
step 2
install pdanet from google market and istall it on pda.
now connect the usb to pc and Complete the Installation.

[Q] Making Android Froyo connect to my PC through Ad-Hoc wifi

What about AdHoc wifi support in MDJ Android builds (or others)? I am using 'MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.3 [kernel: mdeejay #15]' and in no way i can enable adhox wifi...
I looked around a lot, and i found nothing that works:
*) There is this thread that fixes the problem by patching the wpa_supplicant binary, and provides a compiled one to put on your android, but the mentioned file doesn't even exist on Sense Clean, can this be integrated? or how does it work?
*) This blog entry explains how to enable ad hoc on Samsung Galaxy, but it uses wpa_cli, which is also not present on this android build
*) few threads and blogs explain about how to enable this by directly modifying the wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) and tiwlan0.conf (/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini) files, but seems that in latest builds this doesn't even work, and anyway, the tiwlan is not found in the mentioned location.
update to point 3:
as expected, ap_scan is removed from the conf file, and what i get is only that android tried to connect (Connecting to ssid, Authenticating to ssid) but then disconnects.
does anybody have a working solution?

If I am understanding your post rightly, you are looking for connecting your HD2 with the Internet connection of your computer, either WLAN or LAN fixed.
I have been looking around as well, as I am travelling a lot and in some parts of the world there is only plugged LAN connection available in hotels, so one cannot use an Android fone unless you want to push your roaming costs skywards!
However, I managed to connect the HD2 to the internet via my laptop with a free little program called Connectify and it is working flawlessly.
Works only under Windows 7 though.
Maybe this helps.
WinMo Goatrip 6.0
Android MDJ 1.3 Matted
MDJ S3 Kernel and very happy with it

SO, this Connectify will make you laptop wifi appear as if it is an Access Point and not AdHoc network, making any device connect to it?
Ok, but unfortunately it doesn't support my laptops intel wifi module (3945), that's the reason i've never checked what connectify really do. But i'll try with a usb wifi that i have.
Thanks for the tip...
Update:
Thanks !!! it worked !!!!!!
With an external usb wifi adapter that is supported by Connectify i was able to connect Android to the computers Wifi network, more than enough.

NO ROOT required!! - I am using MyTouch 4g with android 2.2.1
This is for anyone using Android who wanted to use Ad Hoc network to connect to internet (Android device connects to PC/laptop which is connected to internet) and couldn't because android doesn't support it ( Not rooted ). Here is a solution that DOESN'T require rooting the phone. I am running Android 2.2.1 and have no knowledge on compatibility despite my 2 days of research and eventual success.
Things you need: Windows 7, Android device and Connecitfy software ( link below... free version works just fine )
1. Update drivers for Ethernet and WiFi adapters in device settings... windows virtual WiFi miniport adapter should show up in the device list
2. Now startup Connectify: Create hotspot and choose password (uses WPA) and then start hotspot.
3. Now on your android device this network name should show up because its not Ad Hoc anymore. Its like a virtual router or hotspot.
4. NOTE: If google services fail on the android device. Go to account and settings and then sync now for your google login. Once synced, try opening android market and if it says authentication failed, try opening market two or three times more and it should eventually accept. If it doesn't... go find a solution and add to this post or create a blog.
5. Enjoy...hey hey wheres my treat!!

Tethering a 101 to an Android Phone

Can anyone help me tether my 101 to an android phone (Orange Sanfrancisco AKA ZTE Blade).
I have rooted the phone and tried a few apps but I cant seem to get it to work.
I'd prefer Bluetooth PAN, but I'd settle with USB or turning the phone into a wifi hotspot (Infrastructure mode).
Are there any apps out there that are known to work that you'd recommend?
Many thanks

Dude, good luck. I have been trying to tether via bluetooth since I got my A70 with no luck.
If you have a T-Mo phone with wireless hotspot, you can use that. For some reason, the Archos won't see a wifi hotspot done by an app like Wireless Tether because it's ad-hoc, but it will see the T-Mo wifi hotspot.
That's what I do now. It's a killer on my battery, but I just make sure I have it plugged in or my extra battery on hand.

Have you tried the WiFi Hotspot on most Android phones instead? That's what I use. The 101 just finds the Wireless network then.
On mine it is under
Wireless and network - Tethering and portable hotspot - Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings

I am able to use Wireless Tether from the market. Go into settings and put a check in the Use Bluetooth option.

[Q] Is there a tethering expert around?

I just took the plunge in to sd android on my TMOUSA HTC HD2.
I am using AmeriCanAndroid all stock HD2.
Previously I was able to tether to a vista laptop with wm6.5 fine. I am trying to use the wifi tether on the the android side now.
My goal is to tether to a unrooted Acer A500 Iconia. I am not sure if it is possible. I have read a ton and can't seem to find a clear answer to this problem. Several people talk about rooting the A500 so it can see a ad-hoc wifi tether. Unless I misunderstood I also read that a rooted android phone could be a real wifi hotspot not just an ad-hoc connection. I am not sure if I am mistaken or not. If someone could clear this up it would be great.
I am not sure if I am doing the tethering correctly on android. I setup the tethering with a SSID, encryption and the like. the A500 sees the wifi SSID but can't seem to obtain a IP address.
The odd thing is that when I start the wifi tether the yellow wifi icon starts in the top right corner of the phone. Then another wifi looking icon starts next to it. it says tethering and wifi hot spot. I have tried using it also but the system locks and reboots. if I don't mess with the second tethering and wife hotspot it doesn't reboot, but i still can't connect.
The strange thing is that the main tethering lets me setup SSID and the like but the tethering and wife hotspot will let me setup a different SSID. I am not sure why they aren't connected.
I thought this all had to do with the unrooted A500 but I tried the same windows laptop that I had tethered to with wm6.5 and it can see the wifi on the phone but can't connect.
Thanks for any ideas.

[Q] Cannot Activate The Wifi Hotspot

Hi,
Redmi Note 4G (HM NOTE 1LTE)
Android 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI 5.3.27 (latest weekly).
The phone succeeds connecting to the internet through the mobile network.
When setting a hotspot in the phone, I succeed to connect to the phone from my laptop, but there is no internet access in my laptop.
The strange thing is, that if I'm connecting the laptop to the phone through the USB cable, and turn tathering in the phone through USB, and connect to the phone to the WIFI network, the laptop succeeds to access the internet through the phone.
Once I set the phone to go to the internet through the mobile network, the laptop loses the access to the internet.
Thanks,
Ofir.

What OS do you use in the laptop? There are some old and well known issues with WiFi tethering and Windows (these can be solved). If you use Windows, I'm pretty sure that your phone is OK.

Windows 7. But I'm sure it is not the laptop, as I do succeed to use a hotspot with the same SIM when used from iPhone...
Also, as written, the hotspot is working when connected over USB and the phone connects over WIFI.

The issue I'm talking about exists specifically between Windows 7 and Android devices only. I faced that with some phones I had. Just google "wifi tethering android windows 7 not working" to find that there are many people with this problem (like this).
Just to be sure you could try to connect with another laptop running another system (I never had a problem with Linux - Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora/Gentoo). If you don't have one, you can download and burn a live CD.
Most suggestions are installing third party apps, you can try some free apps on Play Store which perhaps enable tethering in some more compatible way. I solved my issues with an init.d script but don't remember what it exactly did (changed some sysctl values every boot).
Or you could change ROM and see if problem is solved. Try Mokee, or MIUI v6.

Thanks!!!
What has solved it was installing a tathering rooted app. It seems that in this phone, even if my service provider allows me to use a hot spot, and although the phone interface allows me to activate the hot spot, I still had to root the machine and install such app to really enable it.
