I apologize if this has been answered before. I did search hours last night and today and haven't found much. I am trying to connect my rooted Eris to an ad-hoc network. I can't see it. I have seen the official thread http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82. I know android can't do this by default, but there was a way to change the settings in the G1 to be able to see an ad-hoc. I haven't seen anything about this related to the Eris. Is there any of the roms that has this ability or any way to change the phone to do this. thank you.
I did see an app called tetherwifi that said it could do this.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

I just bought a touchpad but am unable to tether it to my rooted Evo 3d. I was poking around the internet and found people successfully tethering using the original evo, something about it being able to create an infrastructure hotspot.
Does anyone know if this is possible with the 3d?
The touchpad sees it grabs the ip number but nothing happens.
If theres no workaround I got a brand new touchpad for sale
-Thanks, Oscar

If your rooted you can with wifitether, but encryption wont work. With an aosp or cm7 rom you should be able to. Appartently its because of "Sense".....
Might have to change the wpasupplicant file ?
Why does WEP-encryption not work on my phone?
"Wireless interfaces of almost all HTC-devices which are sold by HTC (these devices are coming with the so called "Sense" user interface) don't seem to support WEP-encryption in ad-hoc mode. We developers don't have such devices available for testing. So, if you have found any solution regarding this problem - please let us know."
cant post links yet but this is from the android wifitether faq...
I havent been able to tether from my evo 3d to my touchpad yet. Ive tried all sorts of setting combinations but havent hit the magic button yet. If anyone here has done it please let me know what settings were used.
With the sim in my phone, I get the net on my phone.
If I put my sim into my tablet, I could get the net (if the touchpad had 3g).
But if I try to use the phone as a wifi hotspot, the carrier knows the data is being shared, and blocks it. How does it know?
Am now wondering whether any of the apps to share the connection - eg over Bluetooth - would be the same or not. Must try it out.
Find it very puzzling (until the carrier told me that I could share the data connection over a wifi hotspot on my phone... if I agreed to pay them more money)...
apologies, thought would be of interest to users, appreciate developers are above stuff like that..its why i posted in the general forum. i did search but didnt find the relevant thread. this isnt a very friendly forum for users, i have noticed a few threads that interest people being attacked.
What method are you using for mobile hotspot? Phone, ROM, app, etc.
so far only tried android's own wifi hotspot feature on htc wildfire with 2.2 froyo

I have ran into problems using wifi tethering methods with Verizon in the US. When I tried to tether, I would get a page in the browser, on the device Im trying to get connection on, of verizon saying if you want to tether, you have to pay for it. Something along those lines. If the wildfire puts out an adhoc connection, most tethering apps wont show up on the TouchPad since it does not support that type of connection. The one app I have tried successfully is PDAnet in the play store. I have installed CM7 and CM9 on my phone and both built in option works with the TouchPad without the carrier noticing. Have you ever tried installing a different ROM on your phone. I dont know whats available for your phone.
EDIT: Sorry, If you're phone only goes up to froyo, I guess CM7 and CM9 are out of the question. But there may be others.
interesting. am going to try pdanet and will let u know

Just know, you need two apps. "PdaNet Tablet" on the TouchPad and I forget the name of the app for the phone. I think it tells you on the tablet app when you start it.
EDIT: Just read you need the phone version of PdaNet or another app called Foxfi on your phone.

why do you click it and then decide to post what you have....its the general section. if you're solely interested in development then here's the link HP Touchpad Development
I'm not too sure how the carrier finds out, maybe larger number of data packets compared to data being received by the phone (regardless of desktop sites being requested).
I see that you're with Orange, and if they follow the same rules as T-mobile following their merger, then they don't fine you for going over your allowance, they just limit your usage to off peak hours....then a warning...then disconnection of your data service. Only phonecalls and texts.
I know this because I totally rinsed the allowance in 2 hours after my wifi went down and I had work related files to download.

there are many ways that mobile device is different from a pc
minutes differences in the way packets are sent/created/received/acknowledged differ from os to os, not to mention hardware
obvious one are mac addressing (easy to spoof but you can usually tell if the mac is a pc or mobile based)
User Agents as was mentioned, although this not a all defining as browser apps can spoof this
and im sure there many more, all of these create a system fingerprint that makes you different from all the other devices on the operators network

Don't you get tired of having your posts deleted for rude and insulting content? As a poster above mentioned, why don't you confine yourself to the development section? Probably because the devs won't put up with your behavior there. Please refrain yourself from posting rudely.

while i agree it was rude, this shouldn't have been posted here, it should have been posted on the general wildfire sub forum as this does not particularly pertain to any problems that have been encountered on the touchpad

to be fair it could've belonged anywhere from wildfire to touchpad to just general android Q&A.....lets just be happy he didn't post it in development. I'd be thinking just as much as to where to post it, besides a touchpad solution might differ from other tablets seeing that it is a bit "unique"
I currently use "WiFi Tether" from the google play store on my "rooted" HTC to connect my Touchpad and dont have any issues with surfing.
But as darkassin mentioned, with some plans, after a certain amount of data used, you may or may not have your service slowed down. i have encounter this with downloaded nightly ROMS...I stopped doing that till i get home and use reg WiFi.
Enjoy.
Am on classicnerds here and a number of GB and ICS ROM's on a HTC phone. Hotspot works OK with laptop and TouchPad. Had to use the APN fix to get around the carrier blocking the tethering.
Focus should be over in your phone forum.
I have searched through this forum, and have not yet found a thread pertaining to this issue. I am not a developer, just an android enthusiast, so i do not have a clue why, but the build.prop tether tweak does not seem to be working on some evo lte devices (including mine). The tether app would show connected, but with no internet access to PCs, laptops, anything not-android it seems. I will shed some light on how I fixed this issue, to hopefully help others in this forum who were most likely just as mind boggled as I was.
I downloaded foxfi from foxfi.com/bin since Sprint took it off of the market.
However, they did not take the foxfi addon off of the market, so I downloaded that as well.
Run foxfi, go to settings, and enable proxy. Foxfi will give you a proxy IP.
Connect to the network from your PC.
(I use Firefox, so I am unable to give specific browser instructions here)
Go to advanced network settings in your browser, and change the automatic proxy to manual, and type in the IP foxfi gives.
Wa-la! Hope this helps, if anyone has any questions, I will help as best as I can!
IN ADDITION: I have tried every other possible mod/app/setting that I have found on these forums. I do not know if Sprint hotfixed the phone to change the code of tethering (like i said, not a developer), because I bought my EVO LTE the last week in June. I will again clarify for the idiots below that cannot seem to read correctly, this is for those that have tried build.prop mod and/or wifi tether with generic ICS setting, fiddling with routing/MSS options and getting "connected with limited access", "no internet connection", or "connected" but still no web browsing capability to their PCs. If I am the only one out there with this problem, it would be my luck.
Happy tethering!
Use wireless tether from the market

googles wifi tether works fine, just set it to generic ICS
Thanks guys. I was making this harder than it needed to be too. Feel like a noob.
It doesn't matter, for some people, WiFi tether on any setting does not work, sprint did something to their network, I spent hours trying to figure it out. It would connect to other android devices, but would give no net connection to PCs

i have been a big fan of tethering since my old iPhone days.
the switch to android has been a big step and i am not telling anyone to tether so please don't abuse this.
i used foxfi with proxy for about 4 months until last night. got a email from AT&t stating that i would be moved to a tethering plan for 65 dollars more a month and one less gig than i had before. so for all those that use foxfi with proxy, it doesn't work. i know pda net dosent work from friend who also got a letter, before me.
so i am stuck .. no more tethering for me.. i am actually retiring from it. but i still keep the option on my phone if such an emergency arises.
hears where i am asking for the opinions of the xda members. i am not sure how at&t knows, but they did, and it doesn't make sense that they scan all every packet of data. any ideas how they know?
i did do one thing that i found hidden on my samsung notei717. under network settings it only shows ONE apn. but... if you download a apn-manager it shows a hidden APN-att-entitlement. is this how they know? i thought it was only used for people who pay for tethering? is it also used to track tethering?
i ended up using a sql editor and removed the line for this APN from the(/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) rebooted phone and now its gone, phone works well and i havent seen any problems yet. ( i did make a copy if anyone wants to see the original)
might anyone in here have any ideas of how at&t knew ?
i am more curious if anything.. even my wife told me, that i have a big enough screen, just use it as a computer from now on.
was it this APN that gave it away? (i tethered a android tablet for internet and games)

Are you talking about using the built-in tethering, or some third-party app? I've never used the 3rd party app or proxy service for tethering.

FoxFi is a free app in play store.

Hi there!
I pump an ad-hoc WiFi signal from my office PC's network adapter, which works fine with my other devices. I would like to connect my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 to this hotspot but as we all know there is no native ad-hoc support.
What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? An app similar to the WiFi manager on the Archos 101?
My phone is rooted, rom Beans 4.1.2, unlocked bootloader, w/ Perseus kernel
And I realize this question has been asked before but so far I have not searched up the right answer, plus I can't freakin' post anywhere before I get to 10 posts lol. Long time visitor but now that I actually own my own Android device rather than just working on others, I figured I'd finally make an account.
Thanks in advance for the help
3rd Party Temp Workaround
Hey Guys,
So no responses eh? Anyway obviously I wasn't about to give up on my searching, but so far I have only had success with Connectify.
Its a third party application that shares your wired internet connection with your wifi adapter and pumps the signal. Basically it does exactly what ad-hoc is for but it can be seen by Android devices.
I am using the Lite version not the Pro and it has been working fine. But don't get me wrong I STILL WANT TO ENABLE AD-HOC. I am still searching for a way to do this but in the meantime I figured I'd post this info in case anybody else is still trying to do this as I am. I Googled earlier and the second listing that came up was this Q&A thread I posted, so I figured if somebody else Googled the same thing and came to this thread I didn't want them to leave empty-handed.
So if anybody has any info on how to make ad-hoc networks visible on the Note 2 please let me know, but until then using Connectify can have you set up and saving 4G data in a few minutes.
I can't speak to using this on the note, but I used adhoc switcher from the play store on an early lenovo tablet that for some reason could only tether to a phone as adhoc. The app had a ton of settings so I am betting you could make it work in this situation.
