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
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.

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
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk
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...

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...

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.
I have found a fairly easy way to tether the 3g connection on my droid x to my a500. The wireless tether app in the market was not working at all, neither was barnacle.
Attached is the wifi tether app which does work, download and install it on your phone.
Once installed and running; the a500 will see the network and connect to it, but still no internet when the browser is opened.
To fix that: open it and go to menu > settings > Change LAN > and select 192.168.3.0/24.
Hooray, it works; Just in time for a road trip
I hope this is helpful for others.

Thank you for the tip.
Did you try the "Change LAN" fix for thother tether apps? Which phone ROM are you using?
For the other tether apps my a500 did not recognize the network at all.
I am using the stock rom for a500;
Justice/liberty & apex for droid x

I'm having the same problem; no recognition that they hotspot even exists.
My a500 is rooted, but other than that, it's stock. Did you have to do anything to it?
acer inconia 500a wireless tetering galaxy s
my solution is
in Galaxy S settings-wireless connections-use as cellular modem-mobile AP
in Acer Inconia 500 turn ON the wireless - it should recognize the Galaxy S
I use a USB connection between the two to use the 500 battery on the Galaxy S
that's it
I just downloaded FoxFi (free app) from the market, had it set up and running on my Razr Maxx in a couple minutes, and it's been problem-free since. No settings on the tablet needed at all. Set your password on the phone, enter it on the A500, good to go.
Cool, great, works
I use Barnacle on my phone and it works fine.
This is more dependant on your phone (ROM, kernel, tethering app, etc.) than it is on the A500. I was tethering fine between my A500 and my Sprint HTC Evo 4G until the latest Gingerbread update, where Sprint purposely broke it with the new kernel. Running a non-stock kernel solved that problem for me.
This will continue to resurface as a problem for most phones because the service providers don't want you tethering without paying the extra $ for the feature.
i wouldnt use foxfi, i read somewhere that they gather info (i think its in the permission box you check off)
but if you install the AD-HOC wifi patch it wifi teather or wireless tether should work just fine.
just google ad-hoc wifi patch (i cant post it) heck i found it in the dev section
hey guys this is my first posting so be gentle...
i just wanna share something that might help people that has problems with tethering...
i have a rooted motorola photon 4g and i use it to tether wifi on my asus tf101 because i dont have internet at home... but after ICS ROMS came out, i usually switched roms coz i couldnt tether my wifi...i was using the regular wifi tether in the market at that time... but every time i try to connect to my tether i couldnt, it just says SAVED...and i already tried the fix that you should change the wpasupplicant2 but when im at work i couldnt connect to a normal wifi... ....then after lots and lots of reading and trying to solve my problem i saw an app that works great but its a little bit tricky coz you wont find it in the market that instant...
.... you only need to install this on the phone your gonna use for tethering...
.... for sprint carriers it is blocked on the market but here are the steps to get it....
... for other carriers just search for FOXFI (blue colored wifi tether app)
---------------- OR YOU COULD JUST GO TO FOXFI WEBSITE http://foxfi.com/bin THANKS TO dca09 FOR THE INFO ------------
what i did and you should do is....
1. on your phone go to the market and search for PDANET TABLET...
2. click PDANET TABLET and scroll down up to DEVELOPER
3. click VISIT WEBPAGE (then the browser would open)
4. scroll down and click DOWNLOAD VERSION 3.50
5. after download is done open PDANET and click WIFI TETHER MODE then you will be prompted to install FOXFI
6. install FOXFI and enjoy
- you could even create a wpa2 password for your own protection on this app -
- you could use either WIFI TETHER or BLUETOOTH TETHER -
did anyone already tried what i did? please let me know if it worked for you and what ROM are you using on your tf101
Pdanet Works, but I really prefer native tether that exists in Cm9 and AOKP. Never had an issue with it.
yeah me too...
yeah i liked that too... but did u installed and used foxfi tether??the blue one? i think its better coz i tried it on every rom
I was/will be there for you
FYI
Just to let you know that you can also use your browser to go to the FOXFI web site and download it from there (http://foxfi.com/bin). You'll have to enable install "Unknown sources" to install the .apk file.
It's a little easier and you'll have the .apk file for backup.
I use Wifi Tether for Root on my phone to tether to my transformer. I've never had need to go the other way since my tf101 is wifi only.
thanks man hehehe

I agree. Native tethering with on/off button on power widget in notification tray. Once network is saved, all it takes is one toggle of the button and boom, you are connected.

I just got my tf101 and so far haven't been able to connect wifi or blue tooth to my htc evo.
I can find it and it shows up as a paired device but I can't connect to it.
I installed the pda net and the foxfi and it appears to be working, but still can't get a signal or a menu/connection to my phone.
Any ideas?

How do you make the change to wpasupplicant2?
Damn....i was hoping the suplicant2 method would fix the adhoc issue in ics...i just picked up this tablet and havnt been able to get it tethered yet ....i have a tmobile vibrant rooted on froyo rom ... and still no dice.... even foxfi doesnt. So why would the suplicant2 tweak not work with your jobs wifi?...
Starting to look like i should downgrade to hc.... i really dont feel like messing with my phone with different roms...would rather tinker on the transformer
the app says it doesnt work with htc phones as they build some kind of security into it. and some moto phones wont work....
i also have a droid x and it works just not reliably.

thats because you need to undo what you did to the wpasupplicant2 in able to connect to normal wifi..thats my problem before...try FOXFI it wont mess up your wpasupplicant1 and 2 so you wouldnt bother to change anything..just reflash the rom you are using then use FOXFI..

if your using an htc phone thereis a lot of tethering apps out there that you could use.. or if you want to.. you could use PDANET for tethering via bluetooth or usb...
