Hey Guys, i have a problem
I flashed the newest Kernel from Z and can now tether wifi.
So my problem is that in my Room is very very bad Wifi.... but in another room in my House the wifi is really great! Now i want to use my Xperia as a hotspot that gets my Wifi and gives it on to my Laptop.... Is that possible?
I hope you understand, which problem i have
cheers

This is not "the newest kernel" it is a proof of concept that was only meant for people to toy with. The kernel is not fully functional and will never be developed or supported. Any problems with functionality will never be fixed. There is no reason to be using the kernel other than to test the increased FPS and see what your phone can do.

Huh??
I know that the kernel is for testing and i have no problems with it!!
I want to use my phone as a wifi hotspot
Then download Barnacle WiFi Tether, it works really good on X10.
does the wifi tether on the new kernel is seeing as Infrastructure(wifi router) or adhoc(peer to peer) ??

I have a Droid 1 and it is rooted. When I run Barnacle tether my Flyer does not show that there are any wifi signals in the area. I do not have trouble connecting to my house wifi but I would really like it if I can get my Flyer to tether to my phone.
I know barnacle is working properly because I am using it right now with my netbook.
After doing some more searching it seems like this a problem with all tablets, and the only fix is to root the tablet. So I guess I will be patiently waiting for root.
I can connect to my evo using the wifi tether app. I would suspect that its the barnacle app and not the flyer.

I can connect to my Desire Z WiFi hotspot running CM7.
Ad-Hoc
I think Barnacle creates an Ad-Hoc network and that may be why the Flyer doesn't connect. It works fine with my Inspire 4G which doesn't use that method.

I am in the same boat, droid 1 patiently waiting for a way to tether to the htc flyer
I connect my HTC Flyer to my phone with no problem.
Yeah the issue is that the wifi hotspot you created is adhoc. If you use the froyo built-in tethering, that should work.
I think the problem is the Droid 1 and how it creates a hotspot. Because I have used both barnacle and also wifi tether with the same results. My netbook can see it but not my tablet.
I am not sure why this is because I am also running CM7, but I guess it must be the way the Droid 1 is. And until the flyer gets rooted there is nothing I can do about it.

As in the one you have to pay for through verizon? I don't like tethering that much. lol. Id rather just wait then.
Cm7 has built in WiFi tethering. You don't need an app to do it. I suggest trying that under the WiFi settings. You don't have to pay for it.

I don't know. Tmobile doesn't charge. But I doubt you'd have to pay if it's a third party ROM like cyanogenmod.

Barnacle won't work with my Droid X but WiFi Tether works great.
It works on my
I have a htc evo with mikfroyo and my hotspot works good with my htc flyer i dont have any problems
I have a rooted d1 running Project Elite 4.2 flawlessly. I can connect anything including an iPod Touch to my droid via Wireless Tether app with the exception of my Flyer tab.
Why is the tablet different then everything else? It does not even see the d1.
Any suggestions other than changing ROMS? PE 4.2 has been the best on my phone.

Thats exactly why I started this thread. I agree PE 4.2 is amazing you should try some of the new GB roms they have really come a long way.
If we get the flyer rooted there are some apps and some .zip files out there that can fix this for us. We just need root access.
As someone already suggested, it sounds like the Flyer's wireless client doesn't recognize ad-hoc networking. Only infrastructure networking like hotspots, office and home WiFi.
Maybe there's and apps with better control of the wireless stack.

I have tried several of the gingerbread Roms with poor results. PE, liquid and cm7 all run great at first but become very buggy after a day or so. My d1 likes PE 4.2 the best.
Are there other tether apps that don't use ad-hoc?
hey, is there a way that i could have wifi calling on ics. i want to try it but i need to have wifi calling feature since i do use t now on my 2.2 rom. i can give up gps since that never worked rite on vibrant. lol if it is not possible then can someone tell me how to get it on an muiu rom like lithium. they look really cool but no wifi calling.
Only half our gb roms have it and its half-assed.. so to answer your question: not likely

Thanks you!
I have a T-Mobile G2 that has been rooted and it has a custom ROM loaded on it, I turn on the mobile wi-fi hot spot and have no problem connecting to it with my Prime but every time it connects it disconnects and I am unable to get online. I am running ICS on the tablet. It has no problem connecting to my wi-fi at home and work. It is unable to connect to my phone which is set as the mobile wi-fi hotspot has anyone else encountered this issue or can assist me with resolving this issue?
Ics broke the phone tethering. There are a couple threads in general that explain it better than i can and also have possible fixes

So you are using a g2x hotspot and prime is connecting to it correct?
I also have no issues, HTC Inspire 4G Prime is ICS Stock.
I think the problem is with your custom rom -- check your custom rom page to see if others are having this error. Try connecting a different device to your phone, if you have one, and you will probably get the same problem.
The only thing that ICS "broke" was wired tethering and adhoc networks/tethering, as far as I know ... wireless tethering (where your phone is a wi-fi AP) is working fine. I am using it without issue. As a matter of fact, I am typing this on my Prime from AndroidAP (wi-fi AP) which is coming from my phone.

It broke Ad Hoc tethering. Those with the tethering cooked into their ROM or as part of their phone built in are having less issues. Many of those of us that use a tethering app - not in our ROMS or part of our phones - got boned by ICS when it changed this ad hoc protocol.

I had no problem connecting my N900 and my IBM T42p to my G2 hotspot mode. It may be time for a new rom regardless.
Tried wi-fi hotspot on my G2 and it magically is working now.... I did nothing differently but hey it works right meow!
So as you all know ICS has been out for our phones for quite a while now. The roms themselves run great and seem to work seamlessly except for two major issues I have noticed thus far.....GPS and lack of wireless tether for root users support. For this thread I wish to talk about the 2nd one. Has anyone ran across an ICS build for our phones that support the wireless tether for root users app? The reason why I want to use that is because it supports the AD-HOC function which allows me to keep my current data plan and not add on an additional tethering plan. I know there are other wireless tether apps out there but not all of them support the AD-HOC function. It seems like all Cyanogen based builds will support this function but very few other ROMS/Builds will actually support this. Just curious if anyone out there has ran across this before and seen an ICS ROM that does support this. I cannot be the only one out there who uses this am I?
For anyone who is not sure of what I am talking about, google android wifi tether.
PS-After I purchased a bluetooth standalone GPS device my GPS works fine. I suggest other Vibrant owners out there do the same. I picked mine up on ebay for a little under 30 bucks. For that 30 bucks I get the peace of mind that I can go anywhere and not worry about getting lost or carrying around a whole GPS device and my phone. The thing sits tucked away under my stereo and my gps locks on fast and accurately.
IDK bro but I use barnicle wifi tethering...try that

Yea but does that work via AD-HOC, I would hate to get charged for tethering because I do not have the plan.
Guys, need some help. I am on AOPK JB ROM and Wifi Tether is supposed to work, et I am having troubles getting it to work on mine. I have used both the built in hot spot as well as Wifi Tether for Root. On the built in hot spot, it will work till the point of showing up on my tablet or other phones. It will connect once you enter the password, yet the wifi bars remain gray and never actually produce a connection.
On Wifi Tether for Root, I read where to change the profile to Galaxy Nexus CDMA. I do this and it does nothing. Not visible on any other devices.
I have done research on the net and have saw similar cases, but no definite solutions.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
I could be wrong (at work so don't have time to go over to the thread) but doesn't AOKP JB use CM10 device tree. And this is a problem on CM10 so it would be a problem on AOKP . Hope this helps
