Hi,
I want to buy a Xperia X10 Phone and use it as a WLAN AP for several devices (Notebook, WP7 device, ...)
Is this possible with Andorid 2.1
AFAIK there is no 2.2 or later out for Xperia X10.
Thanks.
If your device support adhoc then yes.you can use barnacle app from market. If not then you have to wait till the 2.3 updare rolls out.
Barnacle is a option to share u connection with Wifi or u can share connection using PDANET app, that is on market too. With this app u share your connection trough usb or bluetooth, I use it everyday

I'm used to surf and download to my windows phone through bluetooth using the internet on my computer. I't can't be done with my new android phone?
I dont see why Android would want to waste their time with such inferior methods. 3G is faster than bluetooth. But WiFi is the option to choose.
I need this feature too.
I think the OP wants his laptop as the access point....not his phone (tethering). This can be done with WinMo phones. It is useful in places where there is no free WiFi....like in my workplace we only use LAN with our laptops. Whenever I connect my Desire to my laptop via USB or BT, I hope I could then update weather and download and install apps on my HTC Desire using my laptop's internet connection.
The only way to do it without some root bluetooth hacking would be broadcasting wifi from your laptop. Mac OS has this built-in in the sharing preference pane, Windows can do it but there are a few more steps. Nothing hard.
Thierry Parent has put up a working solution here ...

Droid Wireless Tethering
Google a program called gingersnap. it works. It gives super user rights. Be carefull your data usage will be high. Make sure you have unlimited data. you will also need to download a wifi tether program

You can use Proxoid, no need to have root, only need to have Android SDK installed on PC!
Tutorial (it's in Portuguese, you can translate it via google translator):

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

Hello,
I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?
I am not trying to connect my computer to the internet by using my phone as a modem. Do not teach me how to do it. My question and that question are two different questions.
Thanks.
If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps
Cheers

yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7
Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc..
you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!
pls dont be naive... not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...
yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards
I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!
It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.
^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.

AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...

It is possible on an HTC phone, so I'm a bit surprised that there isn't an app to allow us to do this.

I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.
Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.
Is it possible to make a Wlan Hot Spot with the X8? It is available but doesnt work for me in Racht's CM7.
Thank you for your answers!

Use barnacle wifi tether from the market.
But is it posible on 2.1 for ex. or is it possible only on specific version of Android. I have miniCM 1.0.0 2.2.1 and it says that i don't have the type of android that supports tethering.
Thank you ponanovn,
works with the tool from market!

Can anybody share with me setting use in this application. I can't connect to internet through X8.

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.
