Hi, I recently got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wifi only version) GT-P7510 and I am interested in having my tab connected through 3G using a nokia N8 (With Joikuspot application).
I already read the thread with the supplicant file thing and rooting needed.
This is my first Android device so:
1- What is exactly rooting? Does rooting affects the original firmware, there is any reason for NOT rooting my tablet? (Do I loose general updates? Could applications installed be affected?).
2- The guide for making ad hoc network to work seems quite easy, but there are several replies saying people had to do it several times, because of one thing or another (because was it permissions that was not correct or airplane mode not off? Did someone made a flawless guide? Maybe the thread I read is not updated).
Is there any other way of doing this, Android might add this feature in a future update?...
Thanks, xda-developers is a great community, signing in almost every day now to read threads about tech.

Alright, the issue I'm having is that the Mobile Hotspot will not stay on with PiCrust. It starts up fine but a few seconds later it drops 3G connectivity all together and I have to reboot to get data back. I've tried with wifi on and off before using.
The question I have is about the "entitlement" mod used for tethering. I have read online that the reason the iPhone was able to be detected was because the methods were using an alternate APN so all AT&T had to do was cross reference those accounts to see if they were paying for tethering. So my question is: Does the entitlement mod use the same APN for data and tethering?? If so, I would think this would answer most people's questions about the validity of the method. I know no one has confirmed that AT&T has detected this method but it is still relatively new.
EDIT:
I have been doing some more research and I have noticed some people are having issues with the new android market. Is this common among people using the new market?
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
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.
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.

There are many threads seeking a solution for this, but they are all tucked into phone-specific forums and I can't find any that address a general method for current version of Android (4.2.2).
Want to: run apps that demand to have WiFi on+connected, even when I'm on 3G/4G. (Specifically, I'd be happy if I could get Xfinity TV Player to run on my rooted stock Nexus 4 over HSPA, but again, hoping this thread will attract info about tricking apps in the general case.)
Tried: A) qaWifiOnlyMode.txt, B) running WiFi Tether For Root Users and quickly turning wifi on after launching. Neither worked.
Cheers
Hi, It's really bizarre... there are a few apps and methods to do this thing in what we call "closed source jail" AKA iOS ... and it is really amazing to discover that there isn't single method that works on our beloved open platform AKA Android?!?
Anyway, This is the only thing that still unavailable for android...
Cheers...
The Xfinity TV app requires you to be on Verizon Wireless for it to work on 3G/4G. It's a deal Comcast has with them.
I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 4 with LTE enabled & want that app to work without wifi, as well.
Perhaps there's just 1 line of code that looks for Verizon service???
The Connectivity Manager would play a role for certain:
