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 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?
im having a issue with NAT on all kernels, I just came from the D1 to the TB. I use my tethering mainly for xbox, and for some reason the Nat config is diffrent on TBs kernels , On the D1 with just about any custom kernel i ended up with moderate, im getting the same thing with even the OTA kernel on my TB only diffrence is for some reason i cant talk or join with anyone on xbox live. i can play online solo with people in game just not in a party or anything. Before it only affected me with other people with a fully closed nat, now on TB its everyone reguardless of NAT. I was wondering if maybe because the OTA kernel came Pre enabled if theres something being missed, or jus not looked at because it worked out of box? Any ideas would be welcome.
I have no idea where you could find those type of settings, if they are even available... Sorry man. I haven't tried on my Thunderbolt, but never had an issue on my dInc...
I would also be interested in a solution, ps3 is the same way,works direct but not in a group

There wont be settings in the phone for it, Its a Dev thing. Somethings changed in the Kernel its self. Just to make sure im not crazy i fired up my old D1, and it works like a charm. Its something in the kernel. Need Dev input i think.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Tethering, even if you pay for it, to a video-game console is frowned upon by the majority of people in the Android community.

Its not about tethering a box or whatever u want for that matter. Its about getting as close to a true isp as possible. Voip uses it for multi voip connections more so if the host is not wide open nat. So theres a nat issue....

Verizon has NAT at the tower level, not at the phone, which is why you cant go and run a server on your LTE connection. 100s of people probably share the same IP that you have on your phone. There's no way in the age of 1 or less blocks of ipv4 left that you have 1:1 ipv4 address mapping on a phone (unless the phone specifically says it does like blackberries do).
Indeed but the d1 has a less restrictive nat then the thunderbolt. Meaning its something in the phone itself. Kernel i would guess...... Love all the comments but would be great to get some real info on the issue

Did you try in both 3g (rev A), 3g (ehrpd) and LTE? I'd say no way it will work in the last two for sure.
Could just be your droid x had its own IP always or it was just implemented recently that no one does, because I don't see how you can get around the fact you're behind NAT at the network level without doing something like VPN. The only way I have seen to do so is use 1x mode (roaming), but that's obviously not too great.
See its never been open nat. Im coming from a Moto Droid 1. There are 3 accounts in my house all using the old droid, im using the thunderbolt. The Droid 1's are not having any of the issues my ThunderBolt is having all using the same tower in the same house from the same network. I dont have LTE in my area yet so were still on the old verizon hardware. For the life of me i cant see how its not a issue in the phone itself. The droid 1's back in the day were having the same issue, untill Devs came out with the tether enabled kernels. Then the D1 was fine. So im thinking because the kernel for the thunderbolt came tether rdy out of the box that its never really been looked at (as a issue i mean)
maybe so. i dont have any previous android experience to make that judgement so i wouldnt know where to look what it would be exactly in the kernel source that would cause it without craploads of time wasted. Maybe try asking Adrynalyne or Imoseyon since both have prior android phone experience with kernels. adrynalyne goes on the irc channel so you could wait for him to talk on there.
the other thing you might try is seeing if it's an issue with cyanogenmod. I dont think it would be since the kernel for that is basically the same regardless of phone (other than drivers and such).
Good idea. Ill track down a dev. Not really an issue other then voice chat from a comp or box. Works just fine on Older models. Even got a old htc inc i tried and its still working fine too. Just odd

I wonder if this way is easier for ATT to track or know if you have tethered somehow? I usually just root & freeze the ATT tethering manager which works fine and go through the stock tethering manager.
One of the main reasons id root currently is too tether my device for my PS vita etc on the go. But i wanna stay on the stock Rom for a bit so no reason to root if this works.

I agree. Other than having the ability to back up my saved games (Titanium) and removing bloatware, I am running out of reasons to root.
I do hope that this isn't some conspiracy by AT&T to find out who is tethering because THAT WOULD SUCK.
I'm careful with how much data I transfer using foxfi and so far I have not been warned by [email protected]
doesn't like htc phones for wifi
I have a htc inspire phone and a acer a500 tablet. I usa pdanet on the phone to allow me to tether to it from my laptops but doesn't work with the tablet. June Fabrics, pdanet's developer, has come out with a new version that reuires foxfi on the phone and the new pdanet on the tablet. When I click on the pdanet on the tabletnitntells me it work work with bluetooth and to connect using wifi. When I bring up foxfi on the phone and click on the wifi option it tells me the there is a "htc hotspot block" and to use bluetooth mode. Kind of catch 22. Oh well, two more mobile products that don't work!
Good tip

Down loaded and installed, works great thanks for your time. First test was connecting my I717 to my lap top how cool.
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.
I'm curious what it would take to make this work with other ICS phones that utilize NFC. This feature is amazing but not everyone I know will buy this, of course. It would suck to be the only person with a SGSIII and not be able to transfer things using wifi direct just because the guy across from me is using the EVO 4G LTE or the HOX or a nexus device :-\

S beam uses NFC to set up a connection between the (currently only GSG3) devices and then uses WiFi Direct to transfer the files @ 300mbps. That said the SGS3 is the only phone currently to be able to transfer whole HD movies from phone to phone within 5-6 minutes!
The thing isn't really only about NFC but about NFC and WiFi Direct. The 2 HTC phones you mentioned both supported WiFi Direct and NFC but it seems the Nexus doesnt support WiFi Direct. It is possible that it will work with these.
Well since even more devices support WiFi Direct it's not that unlikely to see it spreading since I personally (and all of my friends) find bluetooth way too slow.

I know it pairs both services together, cause the Nokia N9 (I believe the N9, the meego one anyways) does the same thing by pairing the two phones via NFC and then using wifi direct to share content, what I am curious to is wether or not someone thinks they can port the app to a non Touchwiz phone or if another app can be made that would mimic its functionality. And I thought the galaxy Nexus did support wifi direct?

Actually I tried to do it again, and I don't think it was Wifi direct I used, maybe it was just regular beam.

When you use android beam on stock Android it does only use NFC and not wifi direct. However in the settings of the phone, I think in the same place where you find the NFC settings does it not also show placeholder or toggle for wifi direct? I know the G-Nex supports it.. (at least I was sure before now :-\)
But what I'm asking is how hard would it be to take this system, for using NFC for the 'handshake' and wifi direct for the 'conversation' on other platforms so we can all share with each other at high speed?

i do have a sgs2 lte and i have NFC and WI-FI Direct.
I think S BEAM would work on this device.
The big difference is that S BEAM will do the pairing between devices easily while with only WI-DIRECT that will take a bit to setting up.
would love an apk of s beam for this device
Bump from a Nexus user.
2 buddies just got S3's. I watched S-beam work well.
I enbled Wifi direct on my Gnex, they could see me on their Wifi direct.
They sent "pairing" requests, but nothing happened on my end.
Seems like something the S-beam app could handle, if we could get an .apk .....
Agreed. S-Beam is an awesome enhancement to Android Beam. Would be great to have it on AOKP or CM9 on my GNex.
Anyone developing this for some custom ROMS?

i tried transferring photo/video/youtube line/webpage between the S3 and HOX.

youtube , webpages and apps work great.
i think you are able to transfer videos and photos if both phones have galaxy S III.
i didn't try transferring from the HOX to the S3
so anyone tried the S Beam apk yet?
