Can anyone direct to the latest wifi router cab. I installed the wifi cab i have attached on my sticky to a phone with the latest upgrades (tmo rom update) but it didn't work. I know I've had the same one stuck on there for some time, but thought it still worked. If anyone could provide with the link or cab that would be great. I tried a search on both the US and overseas forum but no solid leads. I even installed what I thought was the latest one but it could find it on the phone even after doing a search. Thanks in advance. I'll also be posting the cab in my sticky to others to use.
Hey man, here's the one I've been using all along. I could never get the one you had in your sticky to work right, but I thought others had been able to.
This one still works fine for me, but I admit I haven't yet tested it on the newer (2.13) stock ROM.

I think I tested this one out yesterday. It would say it was successfully installed but I couldn't find it. I searched almost every folder in the phone and couldn't find it. Then I installed my sticky wifi cab and it started up just fine and computer said it was connected to the phone. But, it would never connect to a page. I'll test it out again. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for the cab.

No prob! The link I have in my start menu for this is just called "Wifi Internet Sharing.lnk" (I don't remember exactly if I had to manually put it there or not), but the file it points to is actually "/Windows/CMInternetSharing.exe", so look for that if you don't find it anywhere else

Whenever I install a wifi-sharing cab for some strange reason my regular wifi will not connect anymore. Have you ever had this problem?

Hmmm nope....I have it installed now and regular wifi still works great. Are you using the HTC wifi sharing cab, or kurniawan's CMinternet sharing cab?
Does wifi work before you run the wifi sharing app, but then not after? Or does it stop working as soon as you install the sharing cab?

Well here is how it goes. At both work and home I have a wifi router and typically if I feel like dl large files or streaming vids faster and better I connect to wifi. Well when I installed the HTC wifi sharing cab my friend with an iphone was able to connect to wifi signal and use it like that. but when I got home I hit the wifi quinklink and it was just spinning and spinning and never actually connects again. I unistalled three minutes later I was back on my home wifi router...It has always had the result not matter what Cab i tried.
I was using the HTC Wifi Sharing cab and having similar problems. I could do the Wifi Router thing, but then my normal Wifi wouldn't work. One thing that was happening was that my phone's MAC address was getting deleted from my router's MAC Filter permitted list. Another thing was that even after un-installing the CAB, my Wifi recognized itself as an available network, and tried to connect...
A hard reset eventually fixed that.
I've installed the 'K' version that Sir Phunkee recommended, and every works perfectly now...

Hey bud...sorry, I lost this thread for a bit
Actually, I do seem to remember that when I first installed the cab and ran the wifi sharing, my regular wifi wouldn't connect again until I soft-reset...but that's the most it would take to get working again. I haven't been around any other devices in the past 48 hours that I could use to test that again, but I'll do it as soon as I am and let you know (I think it doesn't happen like that anymore, but I want to check before I say that)

Hmm. Perhaps there is a reason T-Mo didn't include it. I was thinking of installing it, but now I think I won't.
One can after all, tether with USB and BT.
I had a previous thread asking about the wifi tether app. I downloaded version wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14 and installed it... seemed to work when I locked onto it using my computer. It recognized it as an ad-hock network I think (in windows it shows 3 monitors connected in a triangle) to use it but it worked fine. Now while trying to find the SSID I assigned with my Verizon Galaxy Tab it doesn't show. Any ideas or settings I'm missing to link the 2?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
The tab and most other mobile devices won't recognize ad-hoc network connections. However, you can adjust the settings, using info in a post on this site, to use the stock 3G Hotspot app in AP/infrastructure mode and your tab would connect with no issues.

Maybe u should probably try a different version.... I have 2.0.5-pre11 installed on my Evo; and I tether with my Sprint Galaxy Tab no prob.
I'll try that and post back to let you know.
The version you use likely won't have any effect. The HTC Incredible and EVO seem to have the ability to present themselves as infrastructure mode access points with the wireless tether application, whereas other devices, like the Galaxy S phones do not. I could, of course, be wrong on some of the technical details, but I don't believe I've heard of anyone being able to tether another Android device to a Galaxy S device wirelessly, due to the ad hoc limitations. If somebody finds a way and proves me wrong, then great! But as I said before, I don't think any currently available version of Wireless Tether can do it, nor can the alternate Barnacle app.

No go with any of the builds of the wi-fi tether app. My Galaxy Tab just won't show it listed when searching for the SSID. Not sure what to do other than a USB or bluetooth link. sucky!
The QPST hack will work.

My iPad tethered without any problem.
When I tethered with a MacBook, I was not able to get any video chat apps to work. Tried MSN, Google Talk etc. Anybody has suggestions on this?
I was able to get it working thanks to Deodexed pointing me to his walkthrough. Here is the link for anyone else having troubles getting an ad-hoc connection on their Tab.

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.
You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.
For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.
I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...
Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks
ok, I'm a total noob. I chose to buy the iconia because it had ports which the ipad doesnt have. I would like to teher with my iphone 3gs running pdanet. I read your forums. I rooted the iconia(thank you very much btw) n installed the new wpa supplicant. I also installed root explorer as per the instructions. I couldnt get the iconia to see the wifi hotspot eventhough I could see it on my laptop. I noticed that in the system/bin I had 2 wpa supplicant I removed the original one and after that the wifi woulndt work all I would get was an error. Even after I put it back it wouldn't work. Anyway to make a long story short I fiddle with the permissions on the original n got my wifi working again. Howeverr I still can't get the iconia to see the iphone hotspot. If you have any solutions I would greatly appreciate it. Also if u have a solution please consider that I'm a noob n would appreciate some sort of tutorial. Thank you very much.

It is not possible to have two files in the same place with the same name. Remember to put the tablet into airplane mode first. Then just rename the original to wpa_supplicant.bak, copy in the new one (make sure name is wpa_supplicant), and edit permissions on the new file to have execute for all. Turn off airplane. Copy the .bak to somewhere safe. That should be all you have to do.
Thank you for your answer. I moved the original file n put it on my sd card. Left the new wpa_supplicant_a500_wifi_adhoc in the system/ bin n changed the permissions but still got wifi error. Maybe I have the permissions wrong is it all check on read, first two check on write n 3 checks on execute?? N the special no checks ??
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
I would like to do this as well. Right now, I have PDAnet on my iphone 3gs (jailbroken) and set it up as a wifi hotspot, but this is tedious and drains the battery. Bluetooth or hard tether would be preferable, but I think I'm just going to get an android phone and be done with this iOS crap.
I think android phones have the same issue. Read the forums if the wifi connection is an adhoc such as pdanet android os stick isn't designed to see it, which to me seems like a huge oversight.
I agree, it seems stupid that there is no native support for adhoc stuff. One should not have to root their phone for that functionality.
It like these manufacturers want you to buy their product, but are hell bent on preventing you from using it as anything but a expensive web browser. Just look at the list of all the stuff you can't do without "bending the rules" and rooting/hacking something.
There is no good reason for it!
Has anyone tried tethering via MyWi off Cydia? I just installed it to try out the trial but will not be able to test it out until later today. I'll give you guys and update, but I believe it also creates an adhoc network.
MyWi works, but has anyone been able to establish an L2TP over IPSEC connection over this kind of adhoc network tethering?
I took a look at the logs on the VPN server and looks like it never gets a response after the initial contact and just closes the connection because it declares the peer dead.

I tried to get MyWi to work, and it just doesn't. The wifi tethering hotspot seems to work (with the correct wpa_supplicant file), but PDAnet already does this for free. I was interested in either the hard wired or bluetooth functionality.
Simply put, bluetooth and USB tethering does not currently work on Honeycomb 3.1. I wish someone would prove me wrong, but everything I've read indicates that the support isn't there. I've seen a few people claim that they've gotten it to work, but they've never been able to back it up by explaining how.
Bluetooth tethering needs a specific profile, which does not appear in the settings window under the device when your iphone is paired. This should show up under "profiles" when you click the little wrench icon, but it doesn't appear to be there. Looks like you can pair with the iphone, but you cannot connect, which is the required step to get the profiles to show up. If you try to "connect" from the iphone side, it says A500 is not supported.
Furthermore, Honeycomb seems to have no embedded support for USB tethering. Hopefully someone can create an app which will allow an android tablet to be a USB tethering client.

This mostly a direct copy and paste but I posted in the wrong place so I thank the mods for being so understanding.
Anyway I'm new here, and was looking for some help.
When I say WiFi sharing I mean sharing my connection using the WiFi I'm connected to NOT my phones hotspot data.
I did a little bit of research looking around for a way to do this, and I found out my girlfriends g5 can do it and my g3 can too with a ROM I flashed. ? Fulmics LGG3 Android 6.0 rom to be exact. I now have a Note 3 and was wondering if there was a way to add this feature to it. :fingers-crossed:
I also found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215003
Which basically talked about the same thing on a iPhone, using f2router, pdanet, and even WiFi sharing via USB, but these are not what I am looking for.
(If you own a g5 or flashed Fulmics Rom give it a go Settings>Network>Tethering>Wifi-Hotspot go to "Setup WiFi Hotspot" scroll down and there's a check box for Share via connected wifi.) ? (Note:It's kinda like a wifi repeater.)
