I know this issue has been brought up multiple times before with Android devices but please hear me out. I have an Xperia Play (rooted) on Page Plus and would like to be able to tether it with my TN7 (rooted). If I use the built in hotspot on the phone the TN7 sees it and connects with no problem however I get the "This device is currently not authorized to access Dial-Up Networking services, please contact your wireless service provider for more details." when I try to access a webpage. I can't seem to find a workaround for this. I can also use Barnacle on the phone which works fine with my PC but the TN7 can't see it because it broadcasts an ad-hoc network and Android doesn't like that. I tried the solution brought out here http://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/ and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/help/solved-how-to-connect-to-ad-hoc-ibss-t1591207 but the edited file is about half the size of the stock one on the TN7 and once I copy it over the wifi is stuck at turning on until I put the stock file back and restart. I see the explanations of what needs to be changed in wpa_supplicant but I don't know what program I need to open and view the file contents. If I open it in notepad or even emacs its all gibberish and random characters, not what's shown in the examples. Can anyone shed some light on this issue and please tell or show me what do I need to do to make my TN7 connect to an ad-hoc network.
Of course, if anybody knows how to get an Xperia Play to tether with an infrastructure network that would be equally useful.
I ended up flashing Cm10 MaXeD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427874 to my Xperia Play and using the WiFi Tether app. I set the device profile as "Google NexusOne", enabled WiFi-drive reload, and disabled WiFi-drive reload 2. Now it broadcasts a functional infrastructure network that my TN7 can see and use.

How do I get Wireless Tether to work on my Fascinate. I am new and I have no clue what to do. Please Help.
Thanks
Are you rooted?
If you need to root, there are lots of easy one click guides you could go find. My half baked manual root video uses a guide from Cyanogen's forum:

If you are already rooted, I recommend barnacle from market.
You may need to check "skip WPA supplicant" in settings.
If you specifically meant "android wifi tether", their home page is here:

If you are undecided about which tether you want, check out the barnacle developer's page, he had organized some good info about your options:

Also, if you still can't connect and can't see the AdHoc network from your computer, make sure your WiFi driver is updated. My Intel wireless card was v12.x something and I updated to v13.4. I went from not being able to pickup/see the AdHoc network to being able to detect it immediately and connect immediately. (posting this message through it right now.)
I wish I had been able to update my computer's wireless network driver yesterday when I tried. It's hard to reliably download a 35MB file via a 1-2 bar signal. I tried several times.
Anyway, I usually try by going to the Network Card manufacturer's site first and see if I can get an updated driver there. (In my case, directly to Intel). If you have a very obscure wireless network card, then you may have to go to the computer manufacturer's website instead to get updated drivers. Hope this helps someone save some time.
I just got my A7 a few days ago. I did the elocity firmware, the latest dexter mod and the adhoc fix.
1. I cannot get the vpn to work. I am trying to get it to connect to my Cisco ASA at work and no matter if I try ip or dns name, it fails immediately. The connection never leaves the A7.
2. I rooted my Motorola Droid and put Barnacle on it. My laptop can wifi tether to the adhoc network off the phone with no problems. My A7 can see the adhoc, tries to obtain ip address over and over and just doesn't connect. It doesn't matter if I use proper wep or non matching wep key, same results. This is frustrating.
I have re wiped, re firmwared, re dextered several times. Out of ideas. Going on vacation i a few weeks and need to be able to tether.
Help!!!!
hi I had to do this to my samsung intercept running barnacle to make it connect. mabey it will help you.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-intercept-sprint/194068-barnacle-wont-run.html
I use the legacy version of barnacle. I think its available on authors site if not on market
scroll down page a little to see instructions for the fix in the link
Try installing googles wifi tether and run it without wep or wpa and see if you can connect that way.If you can connect then enable the Access control and set a ringtone to let you know when there is a connection,that way you can set it up to where you are the only one that can use it and know if there are any other connections besides you. Go to the link below to get the latest download and be sure to read up on it.This is what I use all the time with 0 problems.If you have any problems with it pm me and I will try to help you with it as much as I can.

Update
I did as suggested with both Barnacle and Google Wifi Tethering with wep turned off. And it works. Why is that? If I create a wep key in either Barnacle as ascii or hex, it doesn't work whether I use ascii or hex equivalent on the eLocity. With the Wifi Tethering app, it only has ascii option and still no luck. Until a new Dexter comes out that may fix this problem (at least for me), I will probably just use Barnacle with max 3 connections and by default new clients gets no nat. I will manually allow nat from the phone to control access.
What sucks is I cannot use my buddy's jail broken iphone for wifi tethering either. My velocity has the same problem passing passwords to ad-hoc networks.
As far as Ive read and been told Android will not connect with wep but what you said you were going to do will work just fine,that's basically what I do,but when Im going to be in one place for a while I will use Google's wired usb connection (link below) to connect to my laptop and then just share its internet connection with other laptops,phones, game systems etc.Either way I think its a good idea to have both the wireless and wired installed just in case and there free so what the hell.
I hope some of this will help you out. Good luck and have a good vacation.

Hey guys,
Hopeing someone has some usefully information. I've been looking online and the forums for any help but haven't been able to find any answers that I'm looking for in reguards to the built in Wi-fi hotpsot for andriod 2.2.1 stock release. I use my hotspot at work a lot and was wondering if anyone knows of any ways to disconnected or premanently block someone off of my network. The hotspot doesn't seem to have any way of booting someone off of of my network outside of setting it to onle 1 connection available and hoping some **** doesn't beat me to the connection while my computer connects. Theres someone in the office that has their phone to just simply connect to any network I'm guessing and he continues to latch on to my hotspot even though its WPA encrypted. If anyone has any useful info or can recommend a program to use with an un-rooted phone I would be very thankful.
Thanks guys!
Does anyone have any info that can help me?
If your hotspot is encrypted, he can't use it. He can try to connect to it, but he won't get his network working.
And you can use the "Manage users" feature of the hotspot in Sense, and enable MAC address confirmation for each user - so he won't even get allowed to connect.
Well thats the thing, I've been looking through the manage users option and it only gives me the Mac address of the **** trying to connect to my network. It doesn't give me the option to do anything except "hers their mac and their ip" and most of the time it just shows "ip: not available" THere are only 2 options that I see and thats "Allowed users only" and "Max. Connections" Where in sense would my MAC filter option be available?
usb tether?
Before turning on the hot spot, go to portable wifi hotspot settings. There you can set it to where you need a password to connect to your network.
I use wep security. You can put whatever password you want.
Hi, I would like to use my S8 to livestream my gopro (with a self made app based on FFmpeg), for that I need to be connected to the GoPro stream via WiFi and I need to use my cellular data (LTE) to send it to a streaming server.
In my test I noticed this phone is unable to keep both connection open at the same time, it was not the case on my previous LG G4, I was also able to test on a nexus 5X where it worked successfully, so I blame the samsung software (PS: I just did an update, didn't change anything).
I tried every options (and combination possible), keep cell data, agressive wifi/cell, both in dev' settings, also smart wifi (agressive or not) in regular settings... And it didn't change anything (the smart thing only either fully disable the wifi connection to local only wifi or connects fully to it and awaits internet connection).
I found this thread on samsung forum https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...internet-while-connected-to-GoPro/td-p/185875 with no answer...
Do you guys have any solution?
Quick edit: I did try to use "Download booster" thing but it doesn't help, it seems the phone is still using the wifi for DNS, I tried with and without smart switch thing... They really didn't think about people using WiFi without internet connection voluntary??
Thanks
same problem here, i don' t know how to fix it. you can share your code? with other guys we are trying to do a solution to live stream gopro on android , if you want i'll link it to you
It cannot be done as we cannot change our IP, Default Gateway, or Subnet on our WiFi.
With iOS you can, thus why iOS users can use the GoPro and LTE simultaneously.
Enjoy.
Hello!
I have a bit of a weird situation here.
I have a WiFi router in a remote location that needs configuring (Linksys EA2750) as it lost its settings after a power outage. The person that could help me is technically challenged, but at least there is an Android phone there that I can access remotely. The phone is an un-rooted Nokia 5.1 Plus (still) running Android 9. This phone is connected both to the router via WiFi and to mobile data. I can remotely operate it via Team Viewer.
I have tried to use the router's official Android app, but it is unable to configure the router's WAN/Internet settings. I have tried to connect to the router's web admin page, but it is inaccesibile via the browsers (tried Chrome and Firefox). I have tried using a firewall app (Mobiwol and NoRoot Firewall) to limit the browsers to WiFi only without any luck.
The only thing that I think will work is to somehow force the browser to use the WiFi interface no matter what. I've already spent hours trying to find out how to do that, but I am kind of losing hope here. I am guessing that I might need root access to accomplish that, but I am hoping it will not come to that.
I would appreciate any help in making my friend's phone stay connected to Team Viewer's servers via mobile data and access the WiFi router's admin page simultaneously.
Thank you in advance!
