[Q]Wireless Tethering

Hi guys,
Anybody able to get the wireless tethering to work? When 'cooking' in the kitchen, there is a function to add the wireless tethering function. But i can't seem to make it works. The app able to launch but others can't see the hot spot.
i have search around this thread but nothings that i can try to solve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

If wireless tether does not work, you should try Barnacle from market.

@arzme: Legend's WiFi driver doesn't support AP mode so you have to make an ad-hoc connection. Ad-hoc "hot spot" can not be seen.

[Q] X8 can be worked as Wifi router or not?

Would like to ask if anyone install and work with the wifi router app successfully in X8 after rooting the official Android 2.1 ROM? I am planning to buy it, see if anyone has tried it before or not. Thanks a lot!

Wifi is pretty weak on X8. Processing signal and forwarding it it's too much for a small phone like this.
(I didn't find any wifi router software)

Thanks for your feedback, because one of my plan is using it as wifi hotspot for other device to connect to internet~

Barnacle works flawlessly in mine! You'll need it rooted of course.

I guess it's sharing 3g internet over wi-fi, right? I don;t have it and doesn't work.

or just can use wifi tethering http://www.appbrain.com/app/tethering/com.guardam.Tethering

Barnacle works great... I activated it and all my friends including me enjoyed the internet it was quite fast actually

Try this one:

( u may need to translate for portuguese to english )

Yes, X8 can. Just Root your x8 and install Barnacle Wifi tether

You can use Proxoid, no need to have root, only need to have Android SDK installed on PC!

You could always try commercial apps like EasyTether or PdaNet.
Both have free versions, but these won't allow you to use secure http (https). If my memory serves me, both these should work just as well with wifi as with 3g.

Barnacle WI FI tether is the best out there, I believe. You can find it on the market.
Do you mean use your phone as a WI FI receiver for your computer/laptop/whatever?

X8 can't WiFi tether as we don't have iptables in are kernel, you can how ever usb and Bluetooth tether with the apps suggested

[Q] is there anyway to tether from my X10 Mini Pro to my Transformer?

I'm giving up :-(
I tried all kind of things but seems that's impossible to share my 3G connection from my SE X10 mini pro to my Transformer 16Gb (updated to 3.1):
this is what I learned:
- using barnacle app is not working because android 3.1 cannot see ad-hoc WIFI spot, i wish someone can customize 3.1 FW to get this function implemented (there should be some kind of WPA-supplicant to add to the FW)
- apps like PDAnet and Easy tether don't work either!
- using wifi tether is no point bacause the X10MP kernel doesn't support netfilter, and it doesn't seem to be any X10MP rom that support this thing (if anyone knows one, please tell me, now I'm using MiniCM based on Froyo 2.2.1 with Kernel [email protected]#1)
anyone had any luck in tethering these two devices?
Thanks in advance.

What happens eveytime you try to connect? Have you tried using the "wireless tether" app?

yes i tried the wireless tether app but i get the "No Netfilter! Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application", if i skip this message i can pair the two devices (via BT) and see the tethering service available on my X10 MP, but the problem is i cannot connect to the net... because of the net filter error.

exactly! ad hoc networks are not visible either in 3.0.1 or 3.1

finally i succeed in tethering with my ASUS Transformer and X10 Mini Pro
using barnacle wifi tether (http://it.appbrain.com/app/barnacle-wifi-tether/net.szym.barnacle)
and those guides:
PRIMORDIAL 3.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106587)
and
WPA_SUPPLICANT (http://www.android-support.com/guide-enable-ad-hoc-tethering-on-your-transformer-needs-root/)
now i'm rooted, tethered and happy

if you root your mini pro you can download quick settings and get the wifi hot spot option..rooting mini pro is a whole lot easier than the TF.

[Q] Floyo 0.30 Wifi tethering issue

Hi !
I would like to ask if someone has any solution for Wifi tethering on X8 (running Floyo 0.30) using for e.g. Barnacle Wifi Tether app ? The problem is that everything seems to start without any problems in Barnacle, but I'm unable to connect to ad-hoc network created by Barnacle. PC is not receiving an IP address...
I tried also Open Garden Wifi tether, but it shows, that I don't have something necessary in OS.
Wifi Tether for Android is also showing similiar warrning and after overriding the warrning it shows NAT errors when trying to set up ad-hoc network.
I read some other posts about Wifi tethering on X8 (most of them are old, so I set up a new one) and Wifi tethering with Barnacle seems to work OK on MiniCM6 and some other custom ROM's, but everybody have troubles with running it on Floyo (0.20, 0.25 and me - 0.30).
Maybe some developer could kindly review our problem and find some solution ? I would be grateful for any help in this topic.
Regards,
Chris.
