internet sharing - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo, I just bought a x10. This is my first android phone. I wonder if this phone supports internet sharing or if there is any application on android OS that would allow to share internet with thru the phone.
thank you

Easy tether and pdanet do this over usb. Search the android marketplace on your phone for these apps or search for "tethering" for wifi sharing.

thank you very much

ive tried these and cant get these apps to work for some reason can someone lend me a hand?

What does not work. We would be happy to help you, please provide a little more information as to what doesn't work. Got an error message?

If you prefer is there a wifi option.
You can do tether with your X10 using Barnacle.
Set rmnet0 as WAN password and athwlan0 as LAN one.
Bye

I installed Barnacle in my x10,and I can not connect x8 to my x10. Is there something missing.according to the explanation, it depends on the os like win7,xp,iphone,ipad,etc. Does it mean no chance for android? Or may be need another app to be installed in client device?
Thanks.

android natively does not have the ability to connect to ad-hoc networks. thats why ur x8 cannot connect to the x10..
it is possible only after editing the wifi.sh in the x8.. i dont rem exactly what to edit but a quick search on the forum should get u the answer..

Hi Chetan,
Sorry but i actually wanted to connect to adhoc WIFI network too, I searched the forum with keywords like wifi.sh and adhoc wifi but couldn't get any results, can you point me to any such information modding some wifi file to connect to adhoc. pl pardon my search skills but i tried my best to get to such post
Thanks,
Nikhil

I can confirm that the only app that works for tethering is Barnale Wifi Legacy (you can find it in your Market).

I tried both legacy and norm, with 'wlan0' interface and channel 11(saw somewhere else it is preferred)
Is it possible to make it work in 2.1, like in 1.6?
Or is it possible to compile the netfilter module for 2.1?

[Q] Wifi syncronisation

Hi!
I live in a college now, and I have just wired lan on my laptop. But you know that Hero really needs wifi, or at least internet. So I wanted to make an ad-hoc wifi spot on my laptop (ubuntu 10.4) and share it with the Hero. I crashed my ubuntu twice tring different techniques of creating a hotspot. But now I think that the problem is with my mobile. So...I searched a lot for this topic, but no good answers. So my question is: Is it possible to share my linux's internet with my pda using wifi or usb or not? And if yes please give me a link or a guide how to do it.
Thx for your time!
Tom
I'm not sure about creating hotspot things but you should find apps that let you do it using your usb, google reverse tether

With the USB I presume that is not possible.
But you can connect using the wireless.
In this case, the phone connects to the internet using 3G or similar and you connect you computer to the phone using wifi wireless connection.

Search for tethering in the market.
EasyTether seams to be very good. And no root needed.
I use Barnacle wifi to set up an adhoc wifi network, works great and is free, but does require root.

It is possible with easy tether app. I use it. With the free version one can access all free sites. For secured sites one need to have the paid version. Its very easy to setup.
Thanks

[Q] X10 Mini as WiFi Hotspot

Hi,
Can anyone give me some idea how can I turn my X10 mini into a wifi hotspot? I found many people are asking similar question but I did not notice any good answer. So this is possible or not?
Use Barnacle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740698
search for it in the market
you could found that information in the wiki or with some searching in this post in the x10 mini/pro General Forum
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether as Cyberwuulf already said.
It supports WEP encryption on my x10 mini pro, and works perfectly every time, super fast - And ive sent in a few good ideas to the dev which he promised to implement in the future.
It works with my X10 Mini with PC connection, but fails to get connected by Xperia X8, and I'm still working out with other phones tomorrow... Please note that my X10 Mini is running 2.1, rooted.

And I got it works with my X8 too, before I read the following Ad-hoc mode only:
Can you make Barnacle use infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
If one could make an Android phone look like a real access point (rather than an ad-hoc network), then it would improve compatibility and allow better security. Unfortunately, to make a wifi client behave like an access point requires fundamental changes in the device driver. The hardware vendors of the wireless interfaces present in most Android devices did not include such capability.
What one can do, however, is use Connectify to make their laptop running Windows 7 appear as a real access point. In combination with Barnacle it should be possible to connect many restricted devices (PS3, DSi, etc.) to the Internet.

and my damn old Palm TX and a notebook running Vista surf the Internet with both Android phones with Barnacle, and it's a freeware ;-)

[Q] Ad hoc on Galaxy s3?

Hi. I come from Apple's iPhone, and don't know many things about Android.. One of the annoying "problems" Android software has, is not recognizing ad hoc hotspots... I googled for an answer, and found that there is an app called Wifi Ad Hoc enabler, but is compatible with only 5 or 6 Android devices. So i ask, if there is a way to fix this on my Galaxy s3 and be able to recognize and connect to ad hoc hotspots......
Can't be done yet but apparently some people are working on it.

Thank you for your answer... I suppose, that when a solution is found, it will be posted in this section... Thank you again...
In most cases people whe create/need ad-hoc hotspots, they are trying to tether the phone on the computer's internet connection.
If you're running Windows, try using Connectify on the computer (Windows 7 only). That application will create a real AP hotspot and not ad-hoc connections.

I tried to create a hotspot from my laptop using Connectify, but it sais AP is not supported, so i am still unable to see the wifi from the phone.. I tried creating a hotspot from my iPad, and no luck either . I think it is the same problem with ad hoc...
