Folks, my children gave me a galaxy tablet for Christmas. I would like to use out with my rooted droid for wifi,as I have wifi tether on my droid. I am currently on Verizon I have seen instructions on using the z4root applicayion, but then I read that it no longer works. I couldn't find it in the market.
Can someone point me to a reliable process whereby I can get my tablet to recognize the wifi signal from my rooted droid? Thanks so much in advance!

I just rooted my phone and installed the Wifi Tether app thats so popular, off the market. Unfortunately, when I run it, and enable tethering, I can't find it on my laptop,or my other phone. Any ideas? Anyone else having issues?

i used barnacle wifi tether and it worked flawless for me!
Even barnacle doesn't work for me!

So it seems that the droid x is just picky with what can connect to it. Fitting as I have issues with my droid staying connected to my wifi when saturating the bandwidth on the wifi (downloading from another computer on the lan). Anyway, its working fine right now between the dx and my hp netbook.

Just a heads up guys... it seems that after rebooting my phone, I'm able to tether again... I also noted that I havent ended any apps or anything. I also haven't enabled my wifi yet.

Exact same problem, Barnacle works sometimes, Android Wifi tether doesn't show up in Windows.
Works fine from my MT3G but not from my DroidX.
Barnacle is actually working pretty good right now. 1900Kb/s down just now with a solid connection for the past 10 minutes.
Hey guys,
I previously owned an htc hero and had a fantastic wireless tether app on the phone. I can't seem to find the app in the market and am wondering if i can find it somewhere on xda. I've tried everything i can find on the market but nothing seems to help. Barnacle Legacy tether works but then gives me a NAT error.
Thanks for your help.
You need to be rooted.

Has anyone tried this on froyo? I was hoping we'd finally get infrastructure mode but I still show up as ad hoc to my laptop.

It won't be infrastructure...for it to be infrastructure it has to be configured for it by the author specifically for each device. There are plenty asking for it from Droid X to etc so we are in a long line...just wait for Official Froyo so we can get MobileAP..
Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing
I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.
actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc
I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.
Ok so I just ordered a X from ebay and its on its way. So I started doing a little research on rooting since I want to root it right away. I have done some research in this form but wanted to be sure before I attempted anything. So, is their one solid way to root the phone no matter what version it is? If not what do I need to know for certain OTA versions so I dont brick my phone? Thanks!

Sweet thanks man
Ok so I have revived my phone and rooted it. Its awesome by the way. But I am in the process of setting up WiFi tether. But each time I start it the 3g hotspot comes up in the background. So when I connect my computer and go to any website it shoots me strait to the Verizons page. Even though I have root and am running a different WiFi tether program other then the 3g hotspot that the x comes with. How do I get around this without being charged.
Try using easytether to usb tether instead
I would really like to use some sort of wifi tether. Their should be some sort of work around or fix.

Rooting the stock rom does not give you free hotspot capabilities. The stock os has a way of knowing if you try using 3rd party wi-fi hotspot apps from the Market and Verizon may send you a nasty letter to cease doing that.
There are however a bunch of custom ROMs that will allow you to use your Droid X as a mobile hotspot without getting hit by Verizon with the nasty letter and/or an additional $30/month hotspot charge.
If you really love the stock os and still want to have free wi-fi hotspot/tether capability then you could use a custom sbf file created by user wugfresh over at the droidxforums website. I don't think I can give you the link here but you can do a Google search for "WugPacked GB Tether Patch" and it should come up as the first link in your search results.
I've used this for a while in the past and it worked great for me.
Okay. Thanks.
