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?
Has anyone else recently had a problem with their wifi tethering? I have a rooted Nexus S 4G on a stock rom. I used to be able to wifi tether flawlessly, with speeds downloading at around 1MB/s... but as of late its down to around 10KB/s. But tethering with USB, it works normally. Can anyone help me with some suggestions as to why this is happening?
try to use barnacle wifi tether app
tried that. same problem. I've tried every wifi tethering app I can find. all the same result.
I use http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list and it works pretty well. Cant say i've ever tested its speed on my laptop tho.
theres so many tethering apps?? any of u guys have a preference of which ones u like? i need to get one to tether my nexus 7 off my tmobil sgs3.
i was thinking about
Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro
wifi tethering by open garden
easy tether lite
so many choices...what do u guys like???
ty
FoxFi been good to me as a hotspot when i need one dont know if works well on the s3 since i have the s2
I'll be using FoxFi on my Desire for Bluetooth tethering (instead of WiFi Hotspot to save battery). And then PDANet on the Nexus 7 to pair to the phone's Bluetooth.
I haven't done this yet but this is how I believe it works from what I've read.
bump plz
I used foxfi to do Bluetooth tethering from my Droid Bionic. Required no other apps on my Nexus 7, and seems to work great. I have no clue if Verizon can tell I am doing this. I don't plan on using it much at all though, just occasionally while I travel.

Setting up either WiFi tether, or bluetooth tether on my G2x. Works great!
ty for ur help
foxifi

Yeah, just started playing with this yesterday and hit the same wall. Interestingly chrome works great when I have the connection setup this way but nothing else will see the connection, not gmail, now or any other app. To heck with the battery life, I have a monster battery on my Infuse now, tried wifi tether but my Nexus won't even see it. =/ Will keep messing with it though and see if I can come up with anything.
Gmail, Play and a lot of other apps seem to work without any issues through bluetooth tethering.
BBC News app thinks there's no internet connection though, so that's one app I can't use.
Loading web-view of an article in gReader Pro informs me there's no internet connection but loads the web page just fine in dolphin browser after clicking on OK.
The Nexus 7 can be configured to do USB tethering natively
i keep getting force close on foxfi had to uninstall

If you're using the free version it has a time limit of 30 minutes, after which you need to restart it.
*Problem solved, see Verizon Development thread
Has anyone had success editing sqlite database to allow native tether or find a working a third party app...beside foxfi (haven't tried it yet). I tried all my usual options on wifi tether and couldn't get it going. Someone with more knowledge of sqlite could probably get native tether working pretty easily.

Same here, i found some things in sqlite that look like they might do it, but without a custom recovery and a backup...not going to try

I thought "ES File explorer" helps. Tools --> Net Manger--> Create a hotspot Network.
Please let me know if it doesn't.
Mine just says turning on.it just sits there with no activity

I also cannot get any 3rd party wireless tether apps to work.
I've tried multiple settings as well with Google's hotspot. No avail. My G2 has been rooted
Verizon
same here. No luck with anything. VZW verison. I had also started a thread but I guess i'll close it down since there's more activity here.
This is pretty interesting because VZW lost the lawsuit and the loss meant they werent allowed to block third party tether apps.
Has anyone tried Barnacle?

I tried barnacle and got this message:
"WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on trasnport endpoint
Could not connect to NAT, will retry later
Running..."
but nothing happens. It doesn't even broadcast a signal.
Did you guys get the message that "wifi is in control shutting down" on wifi tether
Or something to that effect

i can usually get the google android tether app to work on most rooted phones, just play around with the settings and try changing the phone model under the settings tab. https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

It fails to run. On the log error under "Setting ad-hoc" it shows as failed, which is the same problem barnicle is having
Did you guys do a couple of things required on the Razr HD to get it to work.
You need to do the sqlite entitlement database modification. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800796&page=2
Did those of you trying to use WiFi Tether change the profile???
Also you can backup the sqlite database, just in case you are worried about changing anything.
I don't have the phone yet, but plan to get one.
Has anyone had any luck??
i tried with my tmobile and the same. cant get wifi tether to work with a 3rd party app.
Tried USB tether with Foxfi on my Verizon G2 and it worked flawlessly but I kept hitting the usage cap since its a free version . pretty much useless for me.
WIshed Wifi tether worked.
Man, I was thinking about getting the g2 but not so sure if I can't get wifi tether to work! Definitely staying tuned. Anyone try hotspot control?
Shoot.
If I can't tether with this, back to the store it goes.
Give it time guys, the phone just came out a couple days ago. I'm surprised we have root already, it took the Moto X/ULTRA/MAXX weeks to get rooted.
As far as tethering, I tried using Portable WiFi Hotspot which is just a toggle to the built in tethering, which works on my Note 2, but didn't do anything on the G2. Then I downloaded Wireless Tether for Root Users and it looks like it works, it shows it started and I see 0.6Kb of data being sent but it never actually creates a wireless network.
I got to have free WiFi.

I swear if FoxFi doesn't work I'll send it back.
Looks like Foxfi doesn't work on tmobile or Sprint Note 4 yet. They can use Bluetooth or usb but no wifi tether. Give Foxfi a few weeks and they should have it fixed.
I'm on AT&T and can't use the mobile hotspot, only physical tether & Bluetooth. I couldn't use the Foxfi mobile hotspot on my S3 either so I'm not expecting Foxfi will come up with a solution to make it work considering how popular the S3 was and the amount of time they had to correct the problem. I think AT&T is blocking the mobile hotspot option. I couldn't even download Foxfi from the Play Store as AT&T was blocking it.
I'm on Verizon and yes it works....
Im on verizon and its working for me
FoxFi stopped working on my Note 4 today. Anyone else have this issue? It loads, wifi is available but nothing connects.
can anyone get fox fi to work so that when ever the screen shuts off you don't need to enter a password while its running? I got it to work but everytime i shut fox fi down and start it up again. I have to go thru the same process of clearing credentials etc, for it to work without entering passcode after the screen dims. On my s4 i would do the process once, and no matter how many times i shut the app down and started it, i was good to go and never had to go thru the clear credentials process again.
