Good morning Android friends need some help. I have a Motorola Photon rooted my provider is sprint. I have a Toshiba Thrive tablet none rooted. I installed WIFI tether version 3.1 on my photon and it works great with my laptop from work or my home laptop however I cannot get it to work with my Thrive.
Any suggestions or ideas
think it only supports adhoc and the Thrive does not unless your root.
I have tetherd my Epic to my Moms Thrive just to test it out with her & it worked grate.
What are your setting on the photons wireless thether app?
Have you tryed the betas on the google code page?

I am running WiFi Tether and it works fine BUT I did have to change the LAN settings from the default 192.168.1.x to the 10. IP address as it was conflicting with an existing wireless network in the area and then everything began working correctly. But now works without issue
My photon is rooted and Im using WIFI tether. I rooted my Thrive as well, but it still won't recognize my WIFI tether. Is there something else that I need to do to get my Thrive to recognize my photon as a hotspots using WIFI tether?

Along with root, you will need to load the AdHoc patch. You can find this on ThriveForums.org.

Thanks Dalepl for getting back to me. I looked through the threads and didn't see a link for the AdHoc Patch. Could you help point me in the right direction? Thanks a million!

If you go to ThriveForums.org, you can find what you are looking for. If not, PM me and I may be able to send you the wpa_suplicant file you will need to get this to work.
I would download on of Dalepl's ROM's. They will have the patch you need and they work great! I've been super happy with my TT since!
Got everything installed and it's working perfectly. Wifi Tether is working great. Thanks!!! Really appreciate you taking the time to set this up for all of us!
I using WP7.5 on HD2 for wifi Tether and it works fine instead of using Android. T-Mobile didn't charge for the Tether on WP7.

Go to the wifi tether google code page and download the latest beta. Your netbook wont see ad-hoc, so you need wifi tether 3.0

I have a 1410 and it connects to Wifi Tether 3.0 release 10 without issues on stock EB13 rooted.
Thanks for the input. I have tried 3 different tethering programs, barnacle, wifi, etc and none of them work. I guess i will jsut have to be happy with PD Net for the time being. There is just something about this laptop. It sees the adhoc netowrk it just won't connect to it.

when you tried Android-wifi-tether you probably tried the stable version..not the beta...download the beta here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11.apk&can=2&q=
it should work...
I used Odin to put the phone back to stock. then I flashed the ROM to 2.2.1. Then I used one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip to root the device. I then downloaded the file from the link above and installed WiFi Tether and it starts up. then I have both the WiFi Tether icon and an additional Hot Spot icon then the phone just freezes. Does it have to be ext4? I am a noob but learning.
Update: Went back ind rooted with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and converted to ext4 and changed the config to Samsung and it seems to be working.
I just got my 32 GB all rooted and stuff, trying to connect to my TBolt using Wifi tether but it never pulls a IP address. The stupid verizon wifi hotspot works fine, but not the wifi tether. Any ideas?
It keeps hanging at "Obtaining IP Address"
It's because Android doesn't by default support connecting to ad-hoc wi-fi connections (I know, it's irritating). There is a way to add ad-hoc support (or at least on phones there was, it may have changed for Honeycomb), though it requires root. I'll go see if I can find instructions for it.
ive tried replacing the wpa supplicant, no dice

Ill second that suggestion. That'd how I had it running at first. Then I got the latest version of android wifi tether (3.0) and it works great. I don't remember if you need root. I've been rooted for months so I don't pay attention to appear anymore

Im able to connect to my friends phone and he has the same wifi tether verdion, idk if its the ROM on my phone or my phone all together

Mine works fine. I changed the wpa supplicant file on my 10.1 and I broadcast in ad-hoc mode on my Thunderbolt.
Make sure once you change the wpa file that you set the permissions correctly too.
i had the same problem i had to go into settings in wifi tether and check routing fix. After that it works great.
actually my main problem I had today was that I still had a previous version installed of wireless tether alongside the 3.0 version. Check that and uninstall the old. It cleared it up
so i finally got my tab today. i'm liking it so far. the main issue i have right now is that i can't get it to find/connect to my wireless tether that's broadcasting from my rooted epic 4g. from what i've seen so far, the problem is that android doesn't accept adhoc connections. is that correct, and if so, is there a way around it, because that's one of the biggest things i was looking forward to. thanks for any ideas and help!

What tethering program are you using?
wireless tether for root users off the marketplace, version 2.0.7
ok so i got the android wifi tether 3.0 experimental and it seems to be working now
I'm tethering right now from my evo. I'm using the stock wifi tether that comes with cm7 with wpa2. When I signed in, all I did was put the password. Nothing more. Are you messing with other settings?
Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.
Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.
I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.
I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.
I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?
how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?
It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.
This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.
Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?
thanks
I am running v 2.0.7 on a myTouch. When I wireless tether with access control on I can check Gmail,but browser will not get websites. If I turn off AC, then browser works OK.

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Have an epic and I'm running 3.0 pre11 and I can use encryption. Its under deprecated downloads in the google code page. See above link.
Don't forget to hit "Thanks" if I helped!
i am actually tethering thru my epic to post this. The wifi tether is screwy for our phones. I use SFR1.2 and geno1.1final. 3g works, 4g causes a instant reboot on the phone, but it works in infrastructer mode without issue.

Can you post those APK's or the instruction please, I have an Epic as well.
I use wifi tether to connect my thunderbolt to my gt10.1. With version 3 I have it set to softap (master) not ad hoc. Access control is on and I have the routing fix box checked for htc phones. I tethered well over 1gb this morning with no problems

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!
Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.
I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
Can some one walk me through how to tether to my HTC Thunderbolt? Thanks in advance.

Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?
Also are you stock or rooted on both devices
Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.

ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...
Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this
Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.
Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.
Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet
Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help
Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...
i did google it

ok well I hope my answers help you... I have an Evo so its basically the same phone... I have laid out the steps for you too try... Wifi tethering is quite easy... If I may ask I know sometimes you search the wrong thing and its frustrating but what did you enter to find out how to tether you phone to your Xoom...
http://tinyurl.com/3br93db - check out the link and the very first result
Good luck
My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks

Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.
I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.
