Epic WiFi TX Power - Epic 4G General

Is there an application that can adjust the Wifi radio power for the Samsung Epic? I downloaded an application from the market called WiFi TX Power but it doesn't appear to work with the Epic.
I bought a Xoom and am using my Epic as a wireless hotspot for the Xoom quite a bit, but it drains the battery in the Epic very fast. I thought lowering the TX power on the Epic might increase the battery life since it only needs to communicate with a single device that is only about 3 feet away.
Thanks.

Curious, what tether program are you using?

Wifi tether has an option to do that but I'm not sure if it works with the Epic.

Wifi tether works on the epic (adhoc only mode) and like the above poster said, has an option to control the wifi's power

I couldn't get the wireless tether application to work because the Xoom doesn't recognize adhoc networks, just infrastructure, so I have been using the Sprint wifi hotpot app. I would rather use the wireless tether app if I could get the Xoom to connect to adhoc networks.

I found an experimental version of the wireless tether app on the developer website. The experimental version will work in infrastructure mode and does work with my Xoom but the option to adjust the TX power of the wifi radio was removed.
The source code is available on the website so perhaps I can find the section in the older version that adjusted the TX power and either add it to the experimental version or create a stand alone app to adjust the power.

I looked thru the source code and it looks like TX power is only adjustable when running in Adhoc mode (WEXT=Adhoc mode according to the config options in the WiFi Tether app):
Code:
/*
* This method checks if changing the transmit-power is supported
*/
public boolean isTransmitPowerSupported() {
// Only supported for the nexusone
if (Configuration.getWifiInterfaceDriver(deviceType).equals(Configuration.DRIVER_WEXT)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
So it looks like I will have to work on figuring out how to get the Xoom to connect to Adoc networks rather than getting the Epic to adjust the TX power when running in infrastructure mode.

Android WiFi Tether For Root Users now supports WPA2 and infrastructure mode

WPA2 + infrastructure = strong security and access for your Android devices and other devices that didn't support ad-hoc mode (Wii, etc).
Writeup written by Andrew himself - the guy who developed most of the code for this to work on the EVO.
Props Andrew!
Free Android WiFi Tether For Root Users App Now Supports WPA2 And Full Hotspot (Infrastructure) Capabilities On EVO 4G
sweeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freaking Awesome!!!!
THANK YOU!
The factory included Sprint Hotspot program works very well. I can understand maybe wanting this program in the future when the Hotspot gets shut down (though we don't know how it will happen), but right now, everyone should still be able to use it.

4G only though, wifi tether works on 4G, 3G, and 1x already.
Huzzah for Andrew!
Gotcha. I was wondering about that. I was just playing around with the hotspot and noticed that turning it on turns off 3g (and lower). I don't recall if it was that way before the OTA update but it may have been.
I have this apk on my EVO and love it!
Well worth the rooting process for this app alone.
It's already been noted that 2.0.5-pre1 doesn't like dollar signs in the WPA key, but it doesn't like spaces, either.
Just FYI.
dude i love it that much more now my freind can use her zune and i can use my ps3 and my psp
Does anyone know if this might be coming to the Eris? I would love to be able to use infrastructure mode on my HTC Eris with this fantastic app.
Whatever happened with the Infrastructure mode feature. I lost track at some point, and I can't tell now if it was abandoned or if it's working. Did infrastructure mode wind up as part of the package or is there some other mods that have to be done?
Thanks
I have an EVO (obviously) and have tried multiple version of the wifi tether app (spent the last hour searching and reading threads and the code.google site). I can't get any of them to broadcast in infrastructure mode, only AD-HOC. My corporate laptop has security restrictions in place to block Ad-HOC mode, so a regular infrasture connection is my only option.
Thanks in advance.

From what I have read since WiFi Tether version 2.0.5-pre1 it has supported infrastructure mode but only for the Evo. I think it has to do with the WIfi hotspot drivers installed.
but you can always use pdanet
Very odd then. I have an EVO, and have tried four different versions (market version, pre2, pre7, ect...) of the Wifi Tether app.
Still only in AD-HOC mode.

Wifi Xoom and BT Tether

I've found several threads on the subject of Tethering a Xoom via BT and Wifi but I'm not having much luck and there's a lot of confusion about providers/Xoom versions/phones, etc. so rather than tag on to a thread I hope it's ok to start a new one.
I have the following:
Wifi Xoom (NOT the Verizon version, the one that just came out on March 27th here in the US)
HTC Hero GSM - completely unlocked (purchased in Europe). Running Android 2.1 standard update from HTC. I'm using the AT&T data plan but device is not an AT&T device at all.
I would like to see if I can Tether the Xoom to the phone and use the data connection I have on it. I understand that the Xoom's chipset doesn't allow for Ad-hoc networks. I've tried to do a Wifi Tether and although that works from my Laptop to my Phone the Xoom doesn't see the ad-hoc network. I don't believe there is any way for me to make the Wifi Tether work in Infrastructure mode so I don't think there is an option there (unless the Xoom can be modified somehow to see Ad-hoc).
So now I'm trying to use Bluetooth Tethering. I've tried both PdaNet and Wifi Tether (v2.0.7 and phone rooted via SuperOneClick). Both seem to start up fine and are running. I then pair the two devices but as many others have reported, I don't see any Tethering options on the Xoom so I'm stuck.
I've tried different orders of things... run Wifi Tether, pair, vs. pair then Wifi Tether, work with Airplane mode on vs. off, Wifi on vs. off, etc. but I never see that Tether option show up.
Anyone have this working with an HTC Hero GSM by any chance? Note that this is the Wifi-Only Xoom which seems to have different features than the Verizon 3G Xoom. Could it be that the Hero itself doesn't support this profile? Or can the Xoom be modified to force it to think the device is tetherable.
I'm not sure if rooting the Xoom would help any or maybe flashing a custom ROM like CM7 on the Hero would help any. I'd prefer not to have to do this but if someone has this working with my exact configuration I'd give it a try.
Any help would be appreciated.
From what i know, most tethering tech /apps are establishing a ad-hoc network' which the xoom isnt capable of...
I too have the Xoom wifi only version with a HTC rooted CDMA Hero.
As everyone knows now the Ad hoc will not tether with the Xoom infrastructure as of the latest.
I too get full bluetooth tethering signal from Wireless Tether, but like you the Xoom will "pair but not connect". As you, I am confused as to whether it is the Hero or the Xoom Wifi which will not connect to the bluetooth tether.
I suspect it is the Xoom Wifi, but would also like a definitive answer and better yet a viable solution.
I have no issue tethering my Xoom (Wifi model) with my Verizon Motorola Droid (1 Gen) over Bluetooth.
My Droid is full rooted with custom Gingerbread ROM (2.3.3) and Overclocked Kernel from ChevyNo1. His kernels are everything enable such as tethering and VPN. This might be the difference for some.
The one annoying thing is that everytime I enable the hotspot on my Droid, I have to go into the Xoom settings and enable tethering on the connection to my Droid. This also has to be done if either device goes not a range and brought back. I am trying to find a widget or a Tasker script to auto enable this.
Be sure to already start the wifi tether program on your phone (selecting the blutooth option on it) then bring up the blutooth settings menu on your xoom, just press and hold the little wrench you see to the right of your phone icon. it should bring up the tether option...just press that and you should see it conect via blutooth.
Just be sure to have the wifi tether app on your phone already on and set for blutooth. This works for me everytime (running the atrix) and shoujkd also work for your phone too.
Still no luck on my side with the Tethering on while I do the pairing and/or when I touch the wrench icon.
I'd like to understand more about how the Bluetooth profile is detected. Does my phone have to publish out a certain profile? Or does the Xoom have a list of device types that it knows are tetherable? I've read on another forum that it seemed like Motorola devices like the Droid worked whereas HTCs didn't seem to. I'm wondering if the Xoom detects the type of phone it's connecting to and decides whether it's tetherable or not... Anyone know? If this is the case maybe there's some file that can be tweaked on the Xoom to include additional devices or change the phone to broadcast out a different device name, etc. Maybe I should try changing my device name to 'Droid' or something.
Just guessing at this point....
I had the same issue with my droid, bluetooth tether is a pretty good alternative. I made a video of it, works with most phones with that create the Ad-Hoc. Check out video below to see the easy steps involved. Root on phone required.
Thanks for posting the video. This is exactly what I tried but does not work with my HTC Hero and my Wifi Xoom. I'm going to see if I rename my Bluetooth device name to 'Droid' to see if that makes any difference. I doubt it....

I ran into a little bug, and it wouldn't recognize my droid. I had to unpair and turn on the bluetooth tether app. Then pair. The xoom then recognized the bluetooth tether. Hopefully this works, I apologize if it doesn't.
My wifi Xoom works perfectly paired with a CM7 Nexus One.
App: wireless tether
pd: key is the wrench
I tried renaming the bluetooth device name to 'Droid' but that didn't make a difference. I'm sure I'm following the same steps as in the video. Somehow the Xoom doesn't see the Hero as a Tetherable device...
Maybe there are some differences in Bluetooth chipsets?
Wifi tethering works with the Desire Z or the G2
I assume the network it creates is not an ad-hoc otherwise the xoom wouldn't have recognized it?
It's either not ad-hoc or you're using Bluetooth. You'd have to explicitly choose Bluetooth tethering in the Wireless Tether app so I assume you're using Wifi.
From what I understand some phones (the ones that are meant to be used as wifi hotspots) do broadcast in infrastructure mode rather than ad-hoc so I assume that's why it works for you.
Also of note is that Honeycomb only supports PAN tethering, and not DUN tethering.
Your phone also has to have "bluetooth tethering" turned on (however you do it, I don't have an android phone) so that the Xoom can discover the PAN bluetooth service.
Interesting. Something to read up more on. I'm using Wireless Tether to do the Bluetooth tethering but maybe I need something additional switched on. At least it's another direction to look at....
Seems like someone figured out how to get the Xoom to listen to Ad-hoc networks but that needs the Xoom rooted so I'll also research that. I prefer Bluetooth tethering since it uses less juice on the phone....
It does seem that "Wireless Tether" which is what I'm using on my HTC Hero, is running in PAN mode. If I look at the app's directory it has a pand executable, etc. and when I'm running the tether it is running pand in the process list.
Still, if I pair, even while it's running pand the Xoom still doesn't recognize it as tetherable. Grrr.... Wish I had another bluetooth client I could try to connect to see if it's the phone or the Xoom but I don't have anything else.
I'm wondering if it's because I have the Android 2.1 update for my Hero. Wireless Tether seems to support the 1.5 version of the Hero but doesn't mention 2.1. Maybe there is an incompatibility there...
Anyway, will continue to try to figure it out.
Rosso, your not on your own, I am still trying to figure this out on my hero running froydvillian. I have done the wifi ad hoc mod and thats working for me but BT tethering woudl be better, I will let you know If i ever find a solution.
I did see someone else loaded CM7 for the hero and then BT tether worked, but CM7 seems to have been pulled for the hero at the moment due to stability issues.
I have a droid eris (verizon's cdma hero) and I have the same exact problems but I'm on cm7and using wireless tether. I can get the to devices and connect via tethering but 5 seconds after that my phone reboots.
Just picked up a wifi-Xoom for my wife over the weekend. Tried to get it connected to my phone (HD2) as a wifi hotspot and was having problems (the ad-hoc problem). The xoom wouldn't even see the hotspot. I am running AmeriCanDroid 0413 build and it has wifi tether v. 3.0-pre11. So I switched back to winmo and still nothing, then I tried going to Darkstone SuperRam 1.5 (my fallback build). It has an older version of wifi tether, I think 2.06 or something like that and got the xoom to connect. I haven't had a lot of time to fool around with it, but it was able to get a network connection. Maybe you could try an older version of the wifi tether? I haven't experimented with the BT tethering yet. I don't want to root the xoom yet, maybe when my wife is tired of it.
/edit
Just checked the wifi-tether website and there is a new version of wifi tether and it supports softap which may help the xoom recognize the wifi hotspot.
Hi, I have just managed to get my hero bluetooth tethered to my htc hero.
The process I followed was basically what everyone has said:-
download wireless tether i am using 2.0.7
1. start bluetooth on phone and xoom (make discoverable)
2. Do not pair the devices yet
3. start up wireless tether, select bluetooth and tap to start the actual service
4. go back to bluetooth on your xoom and pair the devices
I then got an icon I had not had before and when I tapped the wrench I got the option to tether.
As for wifi tether your phone needs to put out infrastructure wifi for the xoom to see it, if its ad-hoc, you'll need to do the wifi mod so that he xoom sees adhoc
although as stated the new version of 'wifi tether' (which just seems to be the new name for the 'wireless tether' app) may fix that? but doesn't seem to support bluetooth as the 2.07 version does

[Guide] Tethering 4G on Nexus S 4G as AP not Ad-Hoc Connection

The Nexus S 4G will allow you to tether 3G or 4G using most of the apps in the market such as Wireless Tether or the built in hotspot app (3G only), but these methods turn your NS4G into an Ad-Hoc network. Some devices, my notebook computer for instance won't accept an Ad-Hoc connection so I found another (Simple IMO) method.
Some background:
My brother has an Evo 4G and he has never had any issues tethering to my notebook computer using 4G so I wanted to find out why. Turns out Evo's use a different method of tethering. They do not broadcast as an Ad-Hoc network they use a completely different method of tethering called "SoftAP". This essentially makes Evo's think they are actual Access Points, which any wi-fi enabled device can connect to.
I found a way to make my NS4G work in this manner using the WiFi Tether app, very similar to the Wireless Tether app in the market.
Prerequisites:
MUST be rooted.
Make a nandroid backup ( better safe than sorry)
Have some time to toy with the settings if the ones listed below don't work (which they should)
Download and Install attached file "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6" on your NS4G and grant SU permissions.
Open app and go to Settings-> and change to the following below:
Change Device-Profile: Samsung Galaxy S
Change Setup-Method: Netd (Master)
Once you change those settings you will be able to tether as an Access Point and not as an Ad-Hoc connection allowing you to connect and tether your 4G with pretty much any wifi device.
You may have to play around with the different variations of the options but the ones I have given above should work just fine.
**One thing I should note, the only issue I've had with this is set up is when you stop the connection. The app might "Force Close" and on occasion reboot the device. But that is a small price that I pay to tether my 4G connection.
Let me know if this method works for you just so I can confirm it wasn't a fluke on my end!
Hope this helps anyone with similar tethering issues.

Wireless Tether is blocked for us 4G users on the market. The last version that I was able to download from the market was 2.0.7 and it didn't include the softAP option. While I never have had a problem running in ad-hoc mode it's good to know the app has been updated since 2.0.7, thanks joesloco for the heads-up.
btw your instructions worked for me I was able to connect with 4G through an actual AP instead of an ad-hoc network.
Shuts my 4g and 3g down waaaaah!!!
sent from my Touchwiz'd Nexus S 4g
My Nexus S 4G is running on latest stable version of Cyanogenmod.
As far I know, the 4G switch/widget is broken in this version.
When I turn it on from settings, 4G scans for a while and then it says disconnected. Does 4G work with Cyanogenmod? Any patch required? Or should I replace with a different ROM?
I'm in a major city that has Sprint 4G coverage.
How could I get 4G tethering working?
Thank you.
Great guide. I forgot all about this when I used it on my optimus.
I heard that this is faster than the native one. Is that true?

Enabling both normal wifi and wifi hotspot to get RSSI values of wi-fi hotspots

I want an android phone to have both 'normal wi-fi' and 'portable
hotspot' turned on at the same time, so that I will be able to get the RSSI values of wireless networks as well as involve in an hotspot connection.
Scenario:
- 4 rooted android phones in CyanogenMod (2-Nexus One, 2-Galaxy S2; consider A,B,C,D).
- Kernel version 2.3.3 in all the phones
- Portable wi-fi hot spot enabled in all the phones.
I wrote an application to find the RSSI values of available wireless signals. But as the phones (A,B,C,D) are using wi-fi hot spot, the normal wifi does not turn on. Either wi-fi hot spot can be on, or normal wi-fi can be on.
i.e. If each phone(A,B, C and D) have a wifi hotspot created (AH, BH, CH, DH), then I am not able to use my application, as normal wifi connection needs to be turned on to find the wireless networks.
So I want the phones to scan available wireless networks with
portable wi-fi hot spot enabled. Is there a way to do this.?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS: As I am new to this forum, if this is not the right place for this post, kindly move it to the appropriate section.
As far as I know its not physically possible to have hardware run in two modes at once. You would need two wifi chips to do this.

[HOW TO] TETHER in INFASTRUCTURE Via 4G

Hello all this question has been raised Countless times!! Well I just Figured something out that has worked FOR ME!!
HOW CAN YOU TETHER IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE in 4G? No more tethering with 3g only with android ap or 4g in AD-HOC with wifi tether for root users..
What does this mean?
You can now connect to your devices that cannot connect to the AD-HOC (PEER) signal!!
EXAMPLE TABLETS, PS3 and anything else that cannot pick up the peer to peer Signal.
Also Allows Much faster tether speeds Via 4g as compared to AD-HOC
currently us users are only able to connect to 3g via The Native Tether AP you are not able to tether via 4g IN Via Infrastructure!!
My current set up if it matters ICS ROM and Mathkids most recent kernel!! And WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS Exactly..
1. Assuming Your set up is similar (as i have not verified it works any other way) Install WIFI Tether v. 3.1 beta 11
2. Open up the tether program - select device profile - Chose Galaxy nexus CDMA
3.Change Setup Method - Select Netd (Master)
4. Change Device Profile - Select Samsung Epic 4g
5 - Start to tether as you would normally AND OBSERVE!! MAGIC IT NOW IS TETHERING IN INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
Hopefully Wifi tether for root users can now be updated to allow the NS4g TO TETHER!! This is important and I know the few people that understand what I am talking about will surely appreciate this!!
Thanks a lot i will definitely give this a try.

I can confirm it causes reboots but only after heavy usage, for instance I have multiple devices connected and I get a phone call while I have an app already open. I notice my battery temperature goes up to around 104 or higher when it happens. Most time its fine though.

I'm getting really slow internet this way. Normally I get about 1.5MB/sec with 4G usb tether, and now I get about 300KB/sec with wifi tether. The 4G icon shows, but I'm just not getting proper speeds. Also, speedtest showed I was getting about 60KB/sec with 4G wifi tether
Oh, and I can't get any ap passwords to work, either. The wifi app accepts them just fine, but windows says it's wrong.
This setup works perfect (FOR ME) FOR 4G in Infrastructure, as far as 3g just use android AP - Native tether - i used it for 5 and a half hours last-night plugged in not 1 reboot - make sure your set up is similar maybe the kernel or something.
IT IS DEFINITELY FASTER as i was averaging 6 Mbps down. I live in a 4g area - so this may only apply to certain individuals!!
IM USING IT AS I POST
ALSO I WAS USING HEAVY NETFLIX VIA PS3 and my computer connected downloading...
I would look into a combination of kernels - ALSO NOTE MY PHONE SETUP -
Nice! Works well with this set up connecting to my tablet in infrastructure with 4g. Battery temp isn't getting that high either.
this is working great, thank you. im currently connected to 3 devices. my pc,tv and tablet. my tv is currently streaming netflix in hd and im surfing the web and typing this message with my pc. getting 4g tether speeds between 7-10 mbs. i am running bigxie rom with latest mathkid kernal. those who are having troubles make sure you follow the instructions and not just install the apk and run it

Also i think im getting better Download performance this set up - Ive never hit 11.5 mbps and i just did..Good looking OUT!!
I finally got this working better. I had to change my rom from CM9 3.0 to aokp 25, then I changed to channel 11...now I get about 1600KB down. I tried streaming some video, but it's choppy. I don't know how some people are doing it, but it's just not smooth enough for me. So if I want to watch TV, I can switch to usb...but at least I can browse, download, etc with wifi and not have to leave my phone all the way across the living room
Thanks for the great guide!!!
oh, btw...setting the app to epic 4g touch works on NS4G, as well

Note the setup above your post seemed to actually have worked better for me. This setup obviously works best for the people who need this in 4g areas who need infrastructure..
Yeah, after I posted yesterday I saw the one above, and I'm running n1 settings now works great!
