Wifi tether Fascinate with Galaxy tab?

I had a previous thread asking about the wifi tether app. I downloaded version wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14 and installed it... seemed to work when I locked onto it using my computer. It recognized it as an ad-hock network I think (in windows it shows 3 monitors connected in a triangle) to use it but it worked fine. Now while trying to find the SSID I assigned with my Verizon Galaxy Tab it doesn't show. Any ideas or settings I'm missing to link the 2?
I would greatly appreciate any help.

The tab and most other mobile devices won't recognize ad-hoc network connections. However, you can adjust the settings, using info in a post on this site, to use the stock 3G Hotspot app in AP/infrastructure mode and your tab would connect with no issues.

Maybe u should probably try a different version.... I have 2.0.5-pre11 installed on my Evo; and I tether with my Sprint Galaxy Tab no prob.

I'll try that and post back to let you know.

The version you use likely won't have any effect. The HTC Incredible and EVO seem to have the ability to present themselves as infrastructure mode access points with the wireless tether application, whereas other devices, like the Galaxy S phones do not. I could, of course, be wrong on some of the technical details, but I don't believe I've heard of anyone being able to tether another Android device to a Galaxy S device wirelessly, due to the ad hoc limitations. If somebody finds a way and proves me wrong, then great! But as I said before, I don't think any currently available version of Wireless Tether can do it, nor can the alternate Barnacle app.

No go with any of the builds of the wi-fi tether app. My Galaxy Tab just won't show it listed when searching for the SSID. Not sure what to do other than a USB or bluetooth link. sucky!

The QPST hack will work.

My iPad tethered without any problem.
When I tethered with a MacBook, I was not able to get any video chat apps to work. Tried MSN, Google Talk etc. Anybody has suggestions on this?

I was able to get it working thanks to Deodexed pointing me to his walkthrough. Here is the link for anyone else having troubles getting an ad-hoc connection on their Tab.

here you downloaded the wrong version, go to google.com
search android wireless tether go to the first link you will see a section of all droids and click YOUR MODEL Then on the next page download the newest version, and i mean the one on the top, then you will install and have fun, if your trying to tether your iphone to droid you much root then change your system, bin wap,conf file there is a dowload file some where here i found it but i do not know how to post links make sure wifi is of when doing then reboot, turn wifi on and of too time and then search for your iphone ad-hoc network, worked for me android galaxy s 2.1 fine .... thanks new but alread had every one problems on rooting teather and wifi finding and also 3rd party app install got everything w0rking just wish the would make a cydia app like the iphone i know the markit is unscrened or w.e just people like to make you pay for apps when everything should be free its a 600$ phone if you cant get a contract, why the freak do we have to pay for games and programs. i understand if its a really really good app then the hard work went in to developing it should be repaid but charging is wrong donate is better i will donate because i can pay w.e i feel the app is work after downloading it and makeing sure it really works and that its work what im paying for thats input on the matter please dont reply thats all ill have to say you will find the link if you search this page long enough i did and its very easy just pay for root explorer if you dont know how to use your computer comand, not every one is a developer and know commands i had to learn them in a hour

ad hoc for xoom

so with my minimal knowledge of phone stuffs ive kinda learned that when i run the wireless tether for root app on my phone it uses ad hoc to supply other computers with internet... basically im asking, will my evo be able to supply my xoom with internet?

Not at the moment, no support for Ad-Hoc networks in HC, not sure if there ever will be - very annoying.

I'm not sure but I believe there is a new version of Wireless Tether that will allow such a connection. When I first tried the Kindle connecting to my DX, it wouldn't connect. With the new version, it does.

My Xoom connects to my DX with no problems.

Go download Wireless Tether from the website. The experimental one is called Wifi Tether now. Works like a charm for infrastructure mode so that the Xoom can tether with your phone. Also Bluetooth seems to work fine as well.

Is the Wireless tether for the phone or the Xoom (or both)? I need an option for the iPhone in case the steps posted here won't work!

is this an app that enables ad-hoc detection on the Xoom,
or
does it just provide a full wifi hotspot tethering feature for Android devices?
I also use an iPhone which supplies an ad-hoc hotspot connection that I need my Xoom to recognize and connect to.

So does that mean you got it to work that way? Is the app available through the Market?

No its not available in the market. Google wireless tether and look for wifi tether. The new app sends the signal via infrastructure mode. I think it applies to certain phone like Droid X and EVO.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

The Wireless Tether app is ran on the host phone wanting to be turned into a wifi hotspot. There are certain phones that run in Ad-Hoc mode in default (aka Droid 1) and the only option to tether the Xoom to them is via bluetooth. As others have said, the new version "WiFi Tether" is apparently enabling infrastructure mode rather than Ad-hoc mode, something that the Xoom can actually connect to.
There is no app that you install on the Xoom. When the WiFi Tether is ran on the host device, the Xoom just connects to it as a WiFi router and works just fine (or bluetooth if thats what you're doing).
So OP, if you can't get the new version of WiFi tether to work for you and your Xoom, try the Bluetooth tethering option, it's been shown in detail in a thread here how to do it, and it should work just fine.

The app is for android, and for the host device not the Xoom, so you'll need to Bluetooth tether your iPhone.

wpa_supplicant
I understand exactly what the OP is talking about, as i'm trying to do the same thing. What makes matters worse, is that ad-hoc connections ARE possible in android. Meaning android can connect to ad-hoc networks, but it requires swapping out the wpa_suppplicant file in system/bin with a modified one that doesn't filter out ad-hoc networks.
i've even tested this on my EVO, and it connects to other android phones incapable of broadcasting in infrastructure mode, it even connects to my ubuntu netbook broadcasting in ad-hoc...
(if you want to see what i'm talking, just search the forums for wpa_supplicant, something will turn up )
I've tried doing the same "fix" with my xoom, but it doesn't take. Using ADB or root explorer, i've replaced the orignal (making sure to save a copy just in case) and fixed permissions to 775, but it doesn't take. The wifi antenna will turn on, but it doesn't find anything once being replaced, not even saved networks or access points. I can get wifi back by restoring my backup, but i'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work on the xoom (3.0) but does with my evo (2.3).
as a side note, i'm using the right replacement for the wpa version returned by entering
"wpa_supplicant -v" in a terminal emulator or adb. It returns version v0.6.10 and there is a working, modified, v0.6.10 that should make things work, but doesn't....
anyway, if anyone has any input, i would love to hear it!

I am in the same boat. Regardless of whatever permission settings I have tried (mentioned in the dev forums that I can't yet post in), I still get a dead wifi with the new supplicant file.

Ah, I feel better now. It must have been the supplicant file, as I found this other one and it worked without permission modifications first time out.
You will have to google "xoom supplicant" and use the file found on the first response (android.net)-I can't post the link- the downside to attitude having, overlord type forums is inability for new users to provide any help, or at least with any convenience.

i try connecting my xoom to my computer, and it wouldn't work. i have the "Intel My Wifi Technology" but each time i set up a connection, the xoom finds it, but will take like a minute trying to connect and all i see on the xoom is "Obtaining IP address". it shows on my computer that a new device is connected. maybe this only works computer to computer. cuz i have had success with another laptop connecting to my computer with no problem.

I am using the Launchpad kernel and the WPASupplicant file and am connected to my phone's ad-Hoc network now. I used the beta Wi-Fi Tether and it worked great, but crashed my Samsung Galaxy S at least twice a day. So I installed the WPA file without setting any special permissions, just used Root Explorer to copy it an it worked fine.

Is there a way to connect on a ad-hoc hostet by a laptop (win7) yet?
That would be interesting, cause if it work this way, it will work for every phone or something else!

Hey Guys,
i am having a little problem. i am using the Intel My Wifi Technology. and i don't know if i am doiing something wrong or this is just not possible. but i try connecting my xoom to my laptop, and it is not working or connecting. i get a message on the xoom that say's Obtaining IP address", but nothing happen on the xoom. is this not yet possible on the xoom. i don't know if this is consider ad-hoc network or not, cuz i am new to all this.
but here is the link to intel website for the program i am using as a wifi hotspot.
http://www.intel.com/products/wireless/mywifi.htm
and here is a video of what the program does.

anyone with knowlwdge on this please help me understand what i am doing wrong or not doing. or even if this is a possibility.

If you're not opposed to rooting your Xoom, here's another option. I just unlocked and rooted my WiFi-only Xoom yesterday, and inserted the supplicant file in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
It works like a charm! I'm running a WinMo Touch Pro 2 with WMWiFiRouter, and the Xoom now sees and properly connects to Ad Hoc networks. And, it still works with all other networks.
I don't know which way you prefer to attack the problem (from the Xoom or the phone), but I've been thrilled ever since I got all this done yesterday. Everything else on the Xoom is great, and now I've got the working SD card as well.

Is it right that you host a Wifi on your computer and tether internet to you tablet? I think its the usual problem android and ad-hoch, witch not work!

[Q] No DUN no ADHOC rant.....Honeycomb 3.1?

So all of our phones with Wifi hotspot features create an ADHOC connection which Honeycomb does not support. Same goes with Bluetooth, no DUN. Google what the hell? Ya ya,carriers this and carriers that but what about people paying for hotspot features on the phone. I have customers that I need to setup to pair with the TF but it seems nothing will work without rooting and that can be phone specific. So the TF is great as long as you are close to a WIFI connection is supports?
If I'm missing something someone please fill me in.

I am using the hotspot feature on my Evo, and I've been tethering to it at work since the day I got my Transformer. I'm not doing anything special, just turning on the hotspot and letting the TF connect. Now, my Evo is rooted with a ROM that "unlocks" the hotspot functionality so I'm not paying extra, and I'm not using the Wireless Tether app, but it's the same concept.

The hotspot feature on your ROM is supporting a true wifi connection and not peer to peer adhoc. I can't always root customers phones.
~DC

I may be misunderstanding how it works, but this isn't a wireless tether baked into the ROM, it's the built-in Sprint hotspot feature that I'm using, just unlocked so I don't have to pay extra. If someone was paying for the hotspot feature on Sprint, they wouldn't need root, but maybe this is only the case with Sprint's implementation.

i was able to do both wifi and bluetooth tethering. took me a while to figure out, (since i've never done it before, less due to the difficulty of doing it)
assuming the phone supports Bluetooth tethering, it should always work.

I have a DroidX and I can tether using the built in stock Hotspot feature or with Bluetooth. However, I can't tether using an ad hoc connection because I get an error stating that the device doesn't support ad hoc connections...
So, it is definitely device specific and it will be something the carriers remove as many report being able to do so with root (my device is rooted and I can't connect via ad hoc - although, I haven't d/l or tried out the pdaNet app).
I will also add that the bluetooth tethering has worked MUCH better than the wifi - easier/faster to connect, runs pretty fast, and my phone doesn't overheat as much....

Works fine with my evo. The Evo has proper infrastructure wifi hotspot.
Maybe the users need to update their phones?

I went into a store to try a tf and there was no internet so I turned on my WiFi hotspot on my sgsII and it worked perfectly fine, not sure if that's the same as you're asking but that works.

a lot of clarification
Hi all,
I need your help, understanding ... well everything about wifi/TF/WM6.5/adhoc and whatever the other connection is?
I don't think of myself as a noob, but to be honest I'm lost with the wifi on the TF. So here it goes: I have TF and HD2. Under WM6.5 I can't get the TF to see the shared internet through the "wifi router" application on the phone. But then I run a custom Desire HD ROM and this one (can't remember the application) shares and gives access to the TF?!?!
First off, which is which? Which is adhoc and which is infrastructure? And what is the difference (sorry i did look on the internet, but that got me confused even more because I could not see any difference). Are you saying that a standard (not rooted Android) will have the same problem? I was thinking of switching to an android phone so that I can get the easy sharing option, but if I have to root a brand new phone????
Any help will be appreciated,
rio

Easy way to tether off a rooted phone.
Install one of the older versions of wireless tether that supports bluetooth.
Turn on the bluetooth DUN on wireless tether.
Hit ok when it asks to turn on Bluetooth and make discoverable.
On the transformer go to settings-wireless-bluetooth
Scan for your device and pair.
Once paired you should see a little wrench next to your device, click on it
Under Profiles, it should show tethering with a checkbox. Click this and in a few seconds Wireless tether should buzz its connected and off you go.
I've been able to tether my transformer like this since out of the box.
Edit - BTW I've tried this with PDAnet and other non rooted tehtering programs, and I couldn't get it to work with those options. Just FYI

the difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure is the way devices communicate.
infrastructure is kinda like the way we send messages via the post office. we send it to a central place, then it figures out how to deliver the message. this is how true routers operate
ad-hoc is peer-to-peer. imagine passing notes back in elementary school.
( Do you like me [yes] [no] )
some phones comes with a tethering app without having to root, but this typically requires you to pay extra fee to your carrier ($30 for sprint)
if you don't want to pay that, then you have to root your phone to either get a rom that already supports infrastructure mode, or download an app that does. [ ie Wifi Tether ]

You are right. I put Honeycomb 3.1 in the title but forgot to mention in the OP if anyone heard that 3.1 would have support for DUN or Ad Hoc.

[Q] acer iconia wifi tether with pdanet iphone 3gs

ok, I'm a total noob. I chose to buy the iconia because it had ports which the ipad doesnt have. I would like to teher with my iphone 3gs running pdanet. I read your forums. I rooted the iconia(thank you very much btw) n installed the new wpa supplicant. I also installed root explorer as per the instructions. I couldnt get the iconia to see the wifi hotspot eventhough I could see it on my laptop. I noticed that in the system/bin I had 2 wpa supplicant I removed the original one and after that the wifi woulndt work all I would get was an error. Even after I put it back it wouldn't work. Anyway to make a long story short I fiddle with the permissions on the original n got my wifi working again. Howeverr I still can't get the iconia to see the iphone hotspot. If you have any solutions I would greatly appreciate it. Also if u have a solution please consider that I'm a noob n would appreciate some sort of tutorial. Thank you very much.

It is not possible to have two files in the same place with the same name. Remember to put the tablet into airplane mode first. Then just rename the original to wpa_supplicant.bak, copy in the new one (make sure name is wpa_supplicant), and edit permissions on the new file to have execute for all. Turn off airplane. Copy the .bak to somewhere safe. That should be all you have to do.

Thank you for your answer. I moved the original file n put it on my sd card. Left the new wpa_supplicant_a500_wifi_adhoc in the system/ bin n changed the permissions but still got wifi error. Maybe I have the permissions wrong is it all check on read, first two check on write n 3 checks on execute?? N the special no checks ??

Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.

I would like to do this as well. Right now, I have PDAnet on my iphone 3gs (jailbroken) and set it up as a wifi hotspot, but this is tedious and drains the battery. Bluetooth or hard tether would be preferable, but I think I'm just going to get an android phone and be done with this iOS crap.

I think android phones have the same issue. Read the forums if the wifi connection is an adhoc such as pdanet android os stick isn't designed to see it, which to me seems like a huge oversight.

I agree, it seems stupid that there is no native support for adhoc stuff. One should not have to root their phone for that functionality.
It like these manufacturers want you to buy their product, but are hell bent on preventing you from using it as anything but a expensive web browser. Just look at the list of all the stuff you can't do without "bending the rules" and rooting/hacking something.
There is no good reason for it!

Has anyone tried tethering via MyWi off Cydia? I just installed it to try out the trial but will not be able to test it out until later today. I'll give you guys and update, but I believe it also creates an adhoc network.

MyWi works, but has anyone been able to establish an L2TP over IPSEC connection over this kind of adhoc network tethering?
I took a look at the logs on the VPN server and looks like it never gets a response after the initial contact and just closes the connection because it declares the peer dead.

I tried to get MyWi to work, and it just doesn't. The wifi tethering hotspot seems to work (with the correct wpa_supplicant file), but PDAnet already does this for free. I was interested in either the hard wired or bluetooth functionality.
Simply put, bluetooth and USB tethering does not currently work on Honeycomb 3.1. I wish someone would prove me wrong, but everything I've read indicates that the support isn't there. I've seen a few people claim that they've gotten it to work, but they've never been able to back it up by explaining how.
Bluetooth tethering needs a specific profile, which does not appear in the settings window under the device when your iphone is paired. This should show up under "profiles" when you click the little wrench icon, but it doesn't appear to be there. Looks like you can pair with the iphone, but you cannot connect, which is the required step to get the profiles to show up. If you try to "connect" from the iphone side, it says A500 is not supported.
Furthermore, Honeycomb seems to have no embedded support for USB tethering. Hopefully someone can create an app which will allow an android tablet to be a USB tethering client.

Wifi tethering to Kindle fire

You have to look up on how your phone does its wifi hotspotting.
I have a galaxy S and when I set up the wifi, kindle fire works perfectly fine from it.
Search around here, someone had mentioned an app that will share it as infrastructure and not adhoc, which I believe is what you would need.

That app would be wifi tether if you are on Android

What about using a service like Dropbox? Upload a file from one device, and download it to another. If we are talking about video files however, that might not be practical, and then I'd suggest doing it via a PC (if available). I'm not aware of any apps at the moment that allow sharing of filesystems across devices. I'm sure there are possibly ways with things like SSH, but that might be annoying to setup for the average user.

So, without internet, it's highly likely you wouldn't have WiFi on either tablet, how would you network the tablets together without a network?! One of your tablets would have to be a Hotspot to provide the IP address to the other (and I'm not sure about the software available to do this). Even then, you'd need some underlying software that was able to mount/read the sdcard from the other device.
If you did have WiFi, then it's likely you have Internet, in which case you've just answered your own question!
Not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it seems to be a little impractical for the times you don't have internet, in which case be organized enough to transfer files in advance.
