so ive got an evo. and i use my wireless tethering quite often. and when the galaxy tab came out, i tried to tether it to my phone, and i couldnt get it to work. i have no interest in a 3g or 4g connection for a tablet, atleast not now. so does anyone have any idea if i will be able to piggyback the xoom off of my phone?

It should work the same as any other wireless device. My wife uses her IPAD off my evo all the time.
have you tried tethering a android device to another android tablet? i tried it with a hero and an evo. couldnt get either to work.

I have done it with other android phones ( ie someone sharing my internet) but never an android tablet.

Which did you tether to what. HTC EVO, being designed for tethering has the proper wifi drivers to offer full infrastructure mode tethering. Some other devices, maybe the Hero, originally not being designed for wifi-tethering, only offered a certain kind of tethering that didn't work with some devices. IIRC this was fixed in the freely available Android Wifi Tether app. So if you tried to share your EVO's connection with the Hero, that should have worked. The reverse maybe not so much.
I tethered my HTC EVO to a Viewsonic G-Tablet with no problem so I don't foresee a issue with the xoom.
i was using wifi tether on my evo to provide the galaxy tab with internet. couldnt get it to work. so we tried the wifi tether on my brothers hero, and that would not support it either. im crossing my fingers that the xoom will be able to.
Your wifi tether program might not be working, I had the htc evo 4g and tether to the ipad, laptop, galaxy tab without a problem.

are you using an app or the native tethering btw? theres a few apps that only offer ad hoc wifi which isnt really "meant" for internet. It more of a device to device type thing. while infrastructure is internet to device and thats what you want from your evo. i think i explained that right, i havent slept for like a day. i got too freakin excited about preorder i couldnt fall asleep lol
I had that problem initially with the Viewsonic G-Tablet and with my Kindle. Change the wifi channel in the tethering app to anything but what it is, and try again.
Wireless tether, I've been able to have other android phones and an iPhone see it. For some strange reason barnacle won't show up on a scan with other wifi phones. It's probably going into a different mode that laptops can see but some phones can't.

I think you are right. Android devices can't wifi connect to ad-hoc connections, thus tethering doesn't work. However, if you have hotspot capability on your phone it might be different. Or even different tethering programs that don't do ad hoc. Do these exist?
I could wireless tether the Viewsonic Gtab (pre and post root) to my Evo using Fresh Rom and the included wireless tether. Fast and stable
I'm using the wifi tether app for root users from the android market. And yes it works great with my netbook, work desktop, home desktop, and even my ps3. As well as supplying a connection for a buddies iPhone. But when trying to connect the galaxy tab... nothing. It didnt even recognize it. I guess we will see in a few days. Cause this "will be a dealbreaker ladies" (for those that watch 30 rock)

Nope...not yet. It is very desired ability people are looking for though...I'm sure someone will develop something soon.
I really hope something is dev soon... I am currently using the risky DFRouter App. that could get me stuck in modem mode for ever & ever at any moment... Also it would be really great to have ad-hoc support... (in order to see & connect to ad-hoc signals) Take care everyone...

Officially supported in mango!

Now that it is official, will we have this feature baked into custom roms? tried searching, but could not find anything related to it
I'm interested in this too! Its one of my biggest barriers from switching from android. I Frequently tether to use instant messaging and for evernote syncing when i'm out studying in places without wifi

Isn't that true for only real wp7 phones about getting stuck in modem mode?
Hi all
Is there a possibility to use a Android Phone as 3G Modem for the Iconia?
If yes, how?
Thanks
Wifi tether works fine between my legend and an a500

Also no problem using wifi tethering on my Nexus S.
Wifi tethering works great with my Vibrant.
My G2 works like a champ when I need it to.
If your phone is a bit older, it will most likely not support infratructure tethering and since the default Iconia can't see adhoc wifi, you will need to root and change the wpasupplicant file. I did that and now I can tehpther my old droid Eris to my iconia.

HTC Inspire (CM7)
I have had no issues using my HTC inspire wifi tethering capability to my A500. But heres an odd question.
As anyone tried to tether via USB? I tried lastnight just for the sake of expermenting and the A500 was on the net, via wired tether. Has anyone else tried this?

Huh. It worked? Lemme try this
Anyone using an Atrix with infrastructure? I'll likely be getting an Atrix later this year (unless something better comes along before then), and would like to make sure it will work with my iconia.

I'm 95% sure it will. The only phones that will tether with adhoc are OG droid era devices. Even then, you can do what I did which was root and change the wpa supplicant so that the iconia sees adhoc.

Is there are list of phones that will do infrastruture network?
Might be looking to replace my X10 mini i have the ad-hoc working with it but just feel cheate
I haven't done anything to my HTC Legend and the a500 I wifi tethered with was in a shop, so all stock. Legend is running 2.2
My Samsung Galaxy S works with teethering. No problems.

Thanks to barnicle running on my x10 mini pro and replacing the wpa_suppliant sys file (as mentioned on xoom forum post), I got mine running beautifully!
No need to spend the extra bucks on a 3g model, just as I mostly only use my tab close to home or work hotspots
Nice!

Don't know why half of my post was missing but.
I was meaning to say that i do have it working with my X10 mini but, i just want to replace it because i feel cheated by the fact that SE have already discontinued the X10 mini (almost as it was released).
But yeah, Barnacle and a ad-hoc fix works great!
Explain to me what you want to do and I can possibly try it. I have both the Bell Atrix and the Iconia.
I am currently tethering the two when I need to with no issues.
I just bumped up my data plan to 6GB for the occasion!
If your phone plan doesn't support tethering you can do the wpa_supplicant fix and use an app like Barnacle to share your phone's wifi ad-hoc to your tablet.
Still uses data, but your carrier doesn't know the difference between phone data and tablet data at that point.
iconia tab droid tethered to og droid
I spent hours trying to do the wpa supplicant Bluetooth tether and get ad-hoc working to no avail. I finally got it working by following the instructions for the xoom wpa supplicant file replacement with a rooted iconia and rooted og droid except for instead of trying Bluetooth and wireless tether app, I used " barbacle wi tether" to get it working...great app!

I can wifi link to my Droid X2
Hey there
I have a nokia e6, and i tethered my connection using joku spot-But the wifi doesn't show up on the nexus 10, my ipod and my laptop are able to detect it.
Please tell me whats wrong?
Sorry for creating threads again and again
I've had this happen on quite a few tethering apps on my Galaxy Prevail and my Nexus 10. I think it has to do with Ad-Hoc vs Infrastructure, with Ad-Hoc networks not being visible (which quite a few tethering apps use). I could be wrong though.
I use joku spot premium
Any one please
Please any one can help me

Hi All,
I have install Kitkat4.4.4 recently. Everything is working great.
But only the Hotspot & Tethering not working.
On the phone I enable hotspot & tethering and the Icon came on but other device can't see or detect the hotspot.
Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000.
Anyone please help.
Thanks

I had this issue with a wifi usb dongle & I had to go into the profile and manually add the device to have it be seen. But I couldn't get it to connect to that pc for some reason.
Its worked so far on the other 3 tablets I tested it on though. Are you using a cheap/ebay usb dongle by chance like I did and it wouldnt work?

I'm using N7000 too on the latest build. I can use tethering. Did you perform a clean wipe?

Thanks for the confirmation here... I can't find my Micro-SIM adapters anywhere so I haven't been able to test anything that requires a SIM in my N7000 lately.
(The 4210 family is probably going to be getting dropped with L due to lack of maintainers.)
