Can't connect to Droid Eris broadcasting wifi with wifi-tether?

I have a vibrant that is unable to find a wifi network broadcasted by my rooted Eris with xtrSense 3.1. I have used the latest wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk and the one from market. Nothing works.
Also tried barnacle wifi tether. Any of you experiencing such issue ?
I have tried an iphone 3gs, which works fine on Eris' wifi.

Android by default cant use adhoc networks, so its not gonna work until someone modifies the kernel

that's a bummer, so will I never be able to use wifi on vibrant from my eris ? or can the wifi tether app be updated to get it to work ?

I am using my nexus one with cyanogen rc1 2.2 froyo rom using built in wifi tethering to tether to captivate and it works perfectly.

hmm, what is different in vibrant then ?

the wifi tether in your eris is adhoc and the one from froyo is infrastruture (mobile Hotspot).

i see. So if I get one of the froyo ROMs, then the vibrant will probably work.

Wireless tether

Is there a wireless tether that can be seen by playstation 3 if there is can someone tell me how and wich one

The stock sprint wifi hotspot works, but you have to pay for it obviously. The only infrastructure mode wifi hotspot that I know works with the epic is the one ported from the i9000, the download and instructions are here;

It only works with the stock rom though, you'll have to flash back if you're running anything custom.

Tethering Xoom with Incredible

I have tried multiple roms on my phone, both if tiamats kernals on the XOOM and can't for the life of me get the xoom to see my wifi connection being broadcast by my droid incredible. I have verified that it is working by connecting my laptop to my d-inc so for some reason the Xoom won't see it. Anyone get this working, how? I ahve also tried BT pan and that won't work either.

Cyanogen 6.1 stable with my Inc and I have tethered WiFi fine. I set up with WPA2 security. Nothing special.

RE:
I have used tethering with IHFTP69's Skyraider rom and it works just fine.
Thats the main reason that I didn't get a data plan with my xoom is cuz I got the D-INC.
LOVE IT =D

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll change roms and give it a shot. Are you using the Wifi-Tether app pre11?

i have been able to use the wifi tether, however, I have not been able to get a Bluetooth tether going. My work shouts down rogue APs, so indeed to be able to use the Bluetooth coonection... anyone been able get this going as well?

Your issue is the Wireless Tether App, not your ROM. The Wireless Tether App from the Market uses Ad-Hoc mode, not infrastructure mode. Use the built in android tether or the newest Wireless Tether Beta, which I think uses the proper WiFi mode.

Cyanogen 7 stable stock tether works great. Bluetooth is another story, I would also love to get BT tether working with the dinc

the latest wireless tether has infrastructure so give it a try

So you are saying that Pre11 works with your Incredible and CM7? Is your Xoom rooted? Does it have the stock kernel?

I am using 3.0 -pre4 experimental. It works great with xoom.

What phone do you have and what rom. Also is your XOOM rooted? If so what kernel is it running, stock, tiamet, brushdog?

I am using my unrooted Dinc to wifi-tether my Xoom just fine, and I am not paying for the tethering fee. I am using the stock tethering app that came out with froyo.

Wireless Tether

Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.

Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0

As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.

Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????

His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...

You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me

Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.

Wifi tether

I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.

Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO

From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.

I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.

Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.
