Hey guys, I work at an airport and we have Boingo wireless for customers to connect via boingo to their wifi devices. Well, I have the galaxy tab 10.1...wifi only version. I tried to download the Boingo WiFinder app from the market(downloaded to my android 'phone') but there's no support for the tab.
Very frustrating, there's no Boingo wifinder app for our Tablets???? That's crazy.
I'm asking to see if anyone knows the reason for this. Is there a fix? besides tethering from our rooted phones??
I came across this in the Detroit airport this week... basically... its boingo not updating there market profile it reflect its compatibility with honeycomb.... I was still about to use the service though

Thanks for the info...hopefully they update it soon. I work at the austin airport and would like to have wifi.
you won't be able to use the boingo app... You will have to get the boingo unlimited service and connect through the website. I use boingo on the washington state ferry system

I've had my GT since it launched and I'd have to say I'm really enjoying it. But with only having the 16GB WiFi version, I've felt the need to tether to my phone, but for some reason, while broadcasting, the device isn't recognized on my tab.
My phone I'm running Wireless Tether on my Fascinated running SC 2.9.2, and my Tab is completely stock with the touchwiz update.
I don't have any issues tethering any of my computers to my phone, but just not sure why the tab wont recognize the network.
Any ideas?

Does Wireless Tether provide an actual AP or is it adhoc mode?
Android's built-in tethering support does provide actual AP mode, at least on the Infuse 4G.
All the tether apps in the market are ad hoc. There are 2 fixes. Custom rom on phone, or root the gtab and install the supplicant patch you can find in the forums.
My wife runs the built in hotspot with the acs swiss cheese rom and it works fine on her stock gtab 10.1.

Tethering my Tablet to my Fascinate phone works perfectly out of the box, first try:
No special settings or configs for me!
I am using "3.0-pre11 experimental" version, apk grabbed from here:

I'm using native Android tethering on my phone and it works great with the Tab.
On AT&T phones, you need to remove tethermanager.apk - it's bigbrotherware that disables tethering if you're not on a tethering plan. Don't know what the Verizon equivalent is.
Basically all "cooked" ROMs remove this as one of their first orders of business, at least for AT&T phones.
I have an un-rooted DroidX and after I paired it with my Galaxy tab, I noticed an option to Connect to device Internet Access. It works great for getting to the Market and web browsing. Some programs don't recognize the connection as a "wi-fi" connection however, programs like Google Music and Plex. But NetFlix does!
I tether my Samsung Vibrant to my galaxy tab 10.1 using the pdanet tablet version. You need to download this same tablet version both on your phone and the tab. It works flawlessly for me and I didn't need to download any other apks from unknown sources.. Try using the App and tell me how it worked!

@Mitchmoney - Does that require rooting the Vibrant?

I had to edit my wpa_supplicant file on my Tab 10.1 to get tethering working off my Sony Ericsson X10. I think I still have the modified file floating around, do you want it?
mien works fine, i just used the standard wireless access point app on the phoneq
Thanks markp99, it looks like my outdated wireless tethering app on my phone was the culprit. After upgrading to the version you posted, the Tab saw the network without a problem and it connected and worked great.
Thanks!
Nope, both my vibrant and my tab are both stock! Make sure you download that same pdanet tether app on both devices for it to work if you want to try it out!

Stock ROMs in the US typically have "bigbrotherware" that disables native tethering and frequently reports third-party tethering apps. This is how AT&T can nail iPhone tetherers within minutes of their first tether but they still haven't sent me a nastygram.
Native tethering on a debloated/decrippled ROM is the way to go, stock carrier ROM is not.
I just got my tab yesterday and have a rooted epic with the wireless tether from the market. I cant get mine to recognize the hot spot either. Still researching

Have a question re Wi-Fi tethering. I am rooted running Eclipse V1.3 I am looking to tether my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet and my Droid X2. The problem is when I start the tether with the phone and tablet I get a webpage from Verizon wanting me to purchase the tether for $20.00 a month. I thought one of the benefits of being rooted allowed you to be able to connect without any restrictions? Any help would be appreciated.
You will need to use either this...
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or an app from the market.. I recommend Barnacle as I have used it before.
That being said, so far these apps only support ad-hoc mode and not master or access point mode so some devices and clients may not connect.
Your mileage may vary..
There is also a thread here.. somewhere about using radiocom to tag data packets differently to utilize the stock hotspot, but i beleive that method no longer works.
Barnacle is very simple and easy to use. Can be set with wep password too. I recommend it as well

Thank you both for your quick reply, will give it a shot.
i 3rd, the use of the Barnacle app. my friends that have iphones ask to use my wifi.. and this little app has never failed.
I've heard of an app called face sniff. Supposedly like fire sheep where it van gain access to accounts on a network. I wonder if A) it works, and B) it works with barnacle haha
Anyone ever try the app before?

I've used mobile hot spot to do a wireless tether but would also like the option to tether via bluetooth (pan or dun). Phone is rooted.
Anyone got this to work?

I bluetooth tether my Prime to my Galaxy Note, so the profile is there. Can't help with N900 specifics though.

I've never been able to get bluetooth tethering working... try out http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58570
but have got wireless to work on my N900
Got "Qt Mobile Hotspot" from extras (or extras-testing) for the N900, then search for "wpa_supplicant2" on this forum to get ad-hoc wireless connection to work on the Prime...and bingo
The "Qt Mobile Hotspot" has been a real find, allowing a multitude of devices to share my N900's internet connection.
Hello all,
I currently have the iPhone 4 and I hate it. I want to move up to the S3 but the only thing preventing me puling the trigger is tethering.
Currently I have a jail broken iPhone and MyWi installed for free tethering. Is there an alternative to MyWi for the S3? Can a rooted S3 be a WiFi hotspot (Infrastructure not AdHoc)?
Thanks in advance,

Rooting an android phone allows you tether without most carriers noticing.
Depends on carrier also

Ok, awesome answer!
Here is another question. Is there a TuT out there to root and tether? Is it AdHoc or Infrastructure? I need infrastructure as my stock Nook can not connect to AdHoc.
Thanks in advance.
Open Garden Tethering is amazing for a rooted phone. Kinda slow (but that's because my LG Ally is slow, and it only has 3G)
My phone has tethering built in as stock and yes it is infrastructure. My phone is from the UK if that affects your question
Some carriers in some countries like to remove or restrict the tethering option. If you're not in such a country then tethering ie. Portable Hotspot is available by default in Android. There is not need to root or install any special app.
When activated your phone will appear as a regular wireless network, ie. infrastructure.
@JSale i am awesome?
in addition we've set up a network on a demonstration with 10 sgs3 on the same tethered connection, so clients number is not limited to 5 like it was on sgs2
sorry, the language is hungarian

I think it may. Knowing the nickle and dime mentality of the US Carriers, I can see them disabling that function in the OS.
If it is built into the OS and then disabled by the carrier could a Rooted Device be re-enabled?

Has anyone had any issues with tethering with the S3? Used to have a GalaxyS on the Three network and it was fine. Got the S3 and it constantly drops net access. Connection between the phone and my laptop is fine, but there are issues with DNS server etc. and on the same network. had a new handset yesterday after advice and help from Three and Samsung and still the exact same issue.
They seem clueless. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could be and has anyone else had the same problem? Tethering via wifi hotspot or usb cable is the same.
Sorry, maybe I should mention that tethering is allowed on my plan.
Does anyone have any idea at all please?
anybody? anyone else had this issue?
i'm having issues with tethering.
If i set security to open it seems to be ok. With any level of security my windows 7 pc cannot connect via wifi.
i've read comments on other forums regarding problems with this.
I've not been able to test out my S3 tethering on 3 yet. Have you had any luck since? I have noticed that the connection while surfing on the phone keeps dropping though.

If you use an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) on AT&T you can tether for free anyway. You can also get away with paying $10 a month for Unlimited Internet.
No need for root. Tethering is already built into the menus.
Had to return the phone and cancel my contract in the end. Three uk say it's a software issue with samsung. I have flagged it with samsung.

Wireless tethering (called portable Wi-Fi hostpost in the settings) worked fine on my international unlocked phone out of the box (no rooting, installing apps, etc.). I'm a bit frustrated I can't connect to AdHoc networks though, but that's an android issue. At least I found a way to use my home computer's internet on the phone via usb with 'reverse tether'.
Tethering the S3
I seem to be having the same problem when tethering using the security option under ONLY ALLOWED DEVICES,
Security is configured under WPA, WPA PSK, and WPA2PSK, i get as far as adding these settings to the ALLOWED ONLY LIST, but when you go to connect on the Wi-Fi screen, and where it says Only Allowed Devices, it says NO DEVICES,
And so the only way to make it works is by using the OPEN option, but be warned this will allow outside users to tap in to your network.
Contacted Samsung on three occasions up to today, all they would confirm was that using the OPEN setting would compromise your security, ive asked them to confirm that the security Only Allowed option does actually work in real time , ive asked them to configure it at their end and tell me the step by step method.
will report back what they say.
I did take the phone back to the shop to get them to configure this secure setting, they failed and said try and cope with the open setting for now.
Reading the above posts that Three have said its a software problem doesnt sound good, sounds like im going to have to return mine as i do internet banking.
any news that you guys have on this aspect would be wellcome.
Cheers,
PS, i should say i am tethering to a Sony Vaio windowes 7
Hi everyone. I just got a Milestone 3 (Droid 3) from Alltel (the Alltel that was divested from the Verizon buyout), who is actually Atlantic Telecom Network. They are a great local carrier who has the best coverage in my area.
I rooted the phone, installed various wireless tether apps but whenever I use any of them, I instantly lose my 3G data connection along with a message that says "3G data link lost". Sometimes is comes back right after turning the hotspot off and other times I have to reboot. I am sure this is caused by a carrier setting because they want you to pay $20 more/month to enable tethering. Does anyone know anyway around this issue? It never happened with Verizon.
Thanks!
There is an app that avoid's detected called ClockworkMod Tether, it's worth a try.
It doesn't require root either if security is a concern

Thanks but....
I appreciate the help but ClockworkMod Tether is a USB tether solution, not a wireless hotspot. I have never had this happen before on other carriers.
