Adhoc support on Wifi Flyer - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

The modified wpa_supplicant for the xoom works on my WiFi Flyer with perma-temp root to add adhoc WiFi support. Surfing via my wm6.5 Fuze (Touch Pro) WiFi hotspot. Most excellent!!

Great! I have the same problem with my x10 and HTC Flyer. I will try it later.

Sounds good. Will try later

That's some of great news. That's one of the things that I wanted along with pen supported drawing Apps. The what's your view on the perm temp root? How stable is it? Thanks for the heads up.

I currently have a S-Off (Revolutionary) and permaroot. I tried this out but nothing. I can't seem to see my adhoc network. I checked with my computer and it is able to see it. Is there something else I missed? I read the thread you have link to and it really doesn't give much detail. This is very important for me to have tethering and would like to solve this.

[Q] Problems tethering between folio and other android device

Hi, i cant tether between folio and htc tattoo. There is a known "bug" in android, in which you cant see Wifi APs working in AdHoc mode (this is like wifi tether works).
In some new devices, like htc desire, it is fixed because tethering apps works with infrastructure mode, so APs can see in the folio, but... in devices like mine, htc tattoo this doesn't work, so the only one solution its to patch the wpa_supplicant. All this is explained better here: hxxp://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
The problem is that that patch is for older versions of wpa_supplicant, i have tried with other patches, but doesn't work, some idea???
thanks!
Dexter, could you apply this patch for the next ROM, or make an wpa_supplicant update for current?? thanks
the foliowidget option to use "adhoc" is already enabling the patched adhoc wpa_supplicant, so its in place and has been for a long time, as it was done early on with the image back in november..
but got automated with foliowidget option, where you just restart wifi after selecting adhoc.
cannot use ad-hoc with folio 100 and Dexter 1.3d
Hi!
I've installed Your Mod1.3d as suggested in some article in the internet in my Folio 100.
I've turned on "ad-hoc" in foliowidget, Folio sees the ad-hoc network I create, but then it hangs trying again and again to get an address.
I think it fails with WEP password. If I create an open connection (with WMWifiRouter in HTC Touch HD) it connects fine, but internet navigation does not work!)
My laptop works fine with the same ad-hoc network.
Should I updated to version 1.4? Or what is wrong with it?
Thank you very much in advance!
Stefano B.
you should simply change to WPA or similar, that should for sure help..
i usd it with my galaxy S, and it works fine here in previous releases and nothing changed much on this topic..

Hi! Thank you for your reply!
Unluckily in Connection manager of my HTC Touch HD (with Energy.BLACKSTONE.29017.Sense2.5.ITA.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21 ) I cannot change the encription. Only WEP is available!
Would upgrading to FolioMod1.4 change anything?
Thank you!

Working Wireless Tether?

Anyone know which wireless tether app works with the temp root? I've tried a few and a no go.
I've seen claims of barnacle working, but have yet to try it myself.

Barnacle works perfect. Thank you, and I hit your Ty button.
It can't stay connected though, since root is temp, correct?

I have Barnacle wifi tether running on my 3D with temp root. Works great, but yes it is temporary for now.
If the wireless part isn't necessary, pdanet works just fine without root.

I can temp root with no problems using my MacBook Pro and Fre3vo but no wireless tethering joy for me. Wireless Tether doesn't work at all. Barnacle gives no errors with the ad hoc connection, everything looks fine, even Snow Leopard's network diagnostics say that my internet is working fine, but no data is transmitted or received. I even tried all the tips/tricks in this thread, still no joy. Any suggestions?
PdaNet works ok with USB but is very unstable with Bluetooth.
BTW I had no problems at all with the EVO 4G either in ad hoc mode (early versions of Wireless Tether) or non ad hoc (whatever that's called, recent versions of WT).
I've tried most of the methods out there and the one in this thread has the highest success rate IMO. One important thing: check your apps and if you have "Super User" installed as an app, uninstall it first before trying the method in that thread.
Barnacle works perfectly for me under that setup.

I have the same issue. I also have a mac so it might be a mac issue. I get tether to work on my wifes shift so I know my computer works.

Thanks, the version of wireless tether mentioned in the linked post worked for me and I'm posting using it! I had tried every other version of WT on the google site, and every version of Barnacle I could find, none worked.
BTW I didn't have any error messages or have to change any settings as that page suggests, it just worked the first time.
This is the only version of WT that starts without errors for me, and I have to us WT as it can set up the softap network (Asus Transformer doesn't see ad-hoc). It sees it and connects, but can never get an IP Address.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to htc evo 4g
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business.

Just got it working on My Coworkers 3vo. download wifi tether 3.2 from the web, then go into settings and there is a setting in the menu that says enable for htc devices, once I did that it worked like a charm.
**Note** you need temp root

You mean this version, 3.1 beta 2? I've tried all the versions out there and some work perfectly some of the time, some never work, but none work all of the time. Can't figure out what changes, it's so random. I'm using the 3.1 beta 2 version to write this, but yesterday it didn't work and tomorrow I predict it won't work. BTW every time I start this version I get an error/warning message that some necessary thingamajigs aren't there, but I dismiss the message and it works anyway.
And of course I know I have to re-root after every restart etc.
works sporactically
Both Barnacle Wifi Tether and Andriod Wifi Tether work sporadically for me. It worked a few days ago and now it doesn't work.
is 4g tether working? I could not get it to work using barnacle
Barnacle works perfect for me with 4G...I haven't had one problem with it...
Supposedly, a beta version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" worked so long as you checked a box in the settings that was specific to HTC devices. I forget where there.

Share internet phone connection with Flyer Wifi through bluetooth

I've just bought the Flyer Wifi the day before yesterday and I just realized that, with the Android installed (Gingerbred 2.3.4) it's is impossible in any way to connect the tablet to my phone (Htc Desire-Bravo) which has 3G. Neither with wifi nor bluetooth. Googling around (without making any test since I'm in time to give the tablet back if I'm not able to solve this problem) I noticed:
conectin to my Desire via Wifi tethering (through apps such as wifi-tethering and 5 more that I tested on my Desire) is impossible since these apps setup an ad-hoc network that it's not supported by the Flyer Wifi: in fact, in wifi settings the new wifi network (APAndroid) showed up, tries to connect but never get the ip numer;
sharing my Desire internet connection through bluetooth PAN seems to be also impossible since there are no PAN-client apps for Android
My question is: if I upgrade to Honeycomb I will be able to share my internet connection either via wifi or bt? (remember: Desire server, Flyer client).
I have just few days to decide to stay with the Flyer to give it back to the dealer and this issue is the most important one for me.
xesco
EDIT: Opsss!!! I've just realized that this is my first post! Sorry, but it's like I'm at home in this forum even if I don't participate so much...
There's a modified wpa_supplicant file floating around here that allows ad-hoc connections. I tether to my Atrix all the time.
Much more easy than I tought... I upgrade my Desire ROM to one of the last (Runnimede I think) and without anything else tethering with the Flyer now works. Next step will be doing the same with bluetooth, but, at the moment, that's enough to keep my new tablet!
Will this work for a view as well? I'm having the same issue.

Anyone able to get the View connected through the wifi tether app on a phone?

I've been trying to get my Epic 4G Touch running the wifi tether app 3.1-beta6 (only version I am aware works for my phone) but the View can't see the wifi connection. Perhaps something to do with the way wifi tether is running? Ad-Hoc mode? Anybody know of a work around?
I am running Wifi Tether v3.1 beta 2 on my Droid Charge with no issues. I currently have mine set to the Samsung Fascinate for the device. You could maybe try changing the device to see if that does anything. I know I was having issues connecting one day and I just had to uninstall and reinstall the app and it started working fine again.
Which type of wifi connection your phone presents is device dependent. Some can do infrastructure which will work, others can only do ad-hoc , which the Flyer and most android devices will not see without a modified wifi supplicant file. If your phone tether cannot be seen on your Flyer you need to install the wifi supplicant mentioned in other answers in the forum, do a search for supplicant . That is the only way to fix this, and you must be rooted.
I use Wireless Tether app on my rooted Droid X and the view sees it just fine. Connects without any issues.

+1 Me too was using it this morning.
I run WIFI Tether v3.1-beta7 on my EVO 3D with no issues at all, View connects without hesitation. There are some settings that need to be set, though I don't know if this applies to all devices. I had to enable MSS clamping and Routing fix.
Here you go man. READ IT CAREFULLY!

I'm quoting DigitalMD because it appears this information may need to be repeated. I'm fairly certain that most Samsung devices are limited to ad-hoc only and that makes all the difference.
I'm downloading the wifi ad hoc enabler now to try this out...
I have a rooted Nexus S 4g on ICS- and wifitether works fine for my ipad2... but the HTC View doesn't even see the signal. Is this a carrier issue with the View, an HTC specific thing? I'm surprised the iPad had no issue as I've had plenty of public wifi connection issues...
Just trying to understanding the issues at play better here.

So I installed the latest 3.1-beta 11 to my Nexus S4g to try this before I go to other lengths to get the view to see it... but I don't see a MSS clamping options- only routing fix. I'm also trying device profile set to Evo 4g since that's what you had... still nothing...
Does it have anything to do with being on ICS on my Nexus? If you're doing adhoc from your evo (assuming...) why would the view not see ad hoc in my case?

Right, but to do that, i need the View to be rooted correct? The point i was trying to make was it seemed like some people got this to work without needing to do that...unless i misunderstood...
EDIT: The following worked for me- Fox Fi on the phone, "PDA NET for Tablet" application for the View. activate both... No settings to be changed, nothing needs root permission.

[Q] build.prop edit to enable tethering on HTC Vivid?

I have an HTC Vivid running Gingerbread 2.3.4. I see that in other versions I can edit the build.prop to bypass AT&T's tethering block, but none of the language in my file read anything close to the previous files.
The device is rooted and I have an editor. I also have downloaded apps that tether (and work, currently) but they only tether through wifi and I'd like to bypass it all together so that I can connect via USB, wifi or BT.
Anyone figured this out yet?

Try clockworkmod tethering app.

How do you have the wifi tether working? I am rooted also and I've tried tons and tons of wifi tether apps such as barnacle and wifi tether. Neither work. To answer your question though, easy tether products works fine for us tethering. I would be very greatly if you could help me wifi tether. You don't pay for it do you?
Ummmmm, nevermind lol. I just read another post that had the property settings for android wifi tether. I'm super happy now. I've been trying to this forever!
Thanks xda!
