Has anyone tried to tether the cpu using pdanet, then creating a hotspot on the cpu using its built in wireless adapter? Wireless Wifi apps arent working for me so I'd thought I try thinking outside of the box. But I haven't gotten it to work yet
The whole point of tethering is to send a wifi signal without using your computer.
Noone wants to carry their computer around all the time, but sometimes you need internet on your devices that dont have a usb port.
Yea its mostly so I can create a wireless hotspot at home so I can use my ipod touch

Why not just use one of the many temp root methods and tether like that if you want WiFi for your iTouch?
Temp Root + Wireless Tether for Root Users
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
It initially tells you that you aren't root, but then it works fine when you enable it (at least for me on the newest beta).
Yea I have that. It doesn't work consistently but ima try re-rooting my phone

Use PdaNet to tether to your laptop. Use Connectify on your laptop to create Wifi Hotspot.
I'll try that and report back if it works

I can't get that Beta(2) to work (Adhoc or otherwise). But Barnacle works fine (Adhoc only).

PDANet works on mine. I think wifi tether will work if you're rooted. I am not rooted, so cannot say for sure.
I just rooted. I installed wifi tether. The phone makes it look like its working but if it does not show up in the network list of any of my devices like my laptop and my tablet. Anyone have wifi tether working after root?
I used the 3.2 beta of WiFi tether on my rooted photon and it worked great for me.
Which WiFi tether are you using? Who is the author? Did you get it from the market?
Nevermind, I picked up Barnacle Wifi from the market and it appears to work fine. I am posting this message from my Macbook over the barnacle wifi on my photon

Scratch this! The Barnacle program does work but when you turn it off and I did this twice to repeat it, I had to reboot my Macbook, my phone and for whatever reason why my home router in order to get my Macbook and Photon to connect to my home network again. So I guess back to square 1, anyone know a program that works properly? I have tried many now including different versions of WiFi tether and my Photon will not show up on any of my device networks.
Pdanet works fine for me!

I already reported PDAnet works fine. Not free but I've been using it since my Hero days almost 2 years ago and its been well worth the cost.

I downloaded out directly from their website.
i had to change the power settings then it worked fone 10+mbps when retrieving media
I used pdanet to USB tether and ir0t worked great. It was almost too easy!
I can confirm that WiFi Tether if you go to there website the 3.1 Beta 2 appears to work perfectly on a rooted Photon. My phone now shows up as a network and with security on and everything my tablet and laptop surfed the net no problem.
I disagree 3.2 doesnt work , the best you can get is adhoc and it tells you that access control can not be enabled
I can confirm that my paid-for copy of PDAnet 3.02 works on my Windows laptop w/ my non-rooted Photon over USB. However, PDAnet does not do wifi tethering.

What does your comment even mean. So is only adhoc bad? What is the use of access control?
What would be the ideal situation? Sorry for asking so many questions but I have never used the wifi tether 3.2 app before.

3.02 works for me without problem. Are you using the free or paid version? The free version has some major limitations.
easytether works, not talking about pdanet but the wifi tethering app doesnt

Just a heads-up for anyone trying to connect to WiFi Tether with some/most Android tablets (like my Xoom). You might need to modify your device to be able to join ad-hoc networks. For the Xoom, it was as easy as replacing the wpa_supplicant binary.
Before I changed that file, my Xoom couldn't see the wireless network that my MoPho was broadcasting.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you rooted android users out there know that you can tether to your touchpad pretty easily.
Go download the newest version of wifi tether 3.1beta5
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Install it
Run it
Menu-Settings
Change Device-Profile
Select Samsung Fascinate
Change Setup-Method
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
Back to main screen
And now you are good to go. I have used this on my fascinate running the community rom, also read that someone had it running on their charge as well.
Have fun tethering.
Post back if this does or doesn't work for you, what device, and what rom/kernal you are running.

[HELP] Touchpad won't recognize my Android Hotspot
I just finished checking, and while my android tablet recognizes and connects to my android cellphone tethering, my hp touchpad doesnt even see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea because I did not have a problem doing this on an evo

Get the beta tethered wifi app. The standard one from the market doesn't work with it. I think it can't connect to ad hoc routers our something.

I cannot seem to connect Touchpad to any adhoc WiFi network. Really would like a fix for this one. iPads and iPhones connect to adhoc networks just fine.
I would manually enter the ssid, broadcast id, network id and ip address and forget dealing with dhcp if it's not working
maybe reboot? Mine works flawlessly on my android and touchpad
From what Im gathering, my HTC hero uses ad-hoc and the touchpad doesnt pick that up. Shame, but I have a feeling Im SOL.
Try turning off all the security settings etc...

wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. Select epic 4g under device profile in settings. Worked fine for me last night when I tried it. Took a little to configure and started with errors but I just restarted it and it was good.

Some android phones can only broadcast wifi via adhoc mode which is incompatible with the touchpad. Its not a matter of what program you choose, if your phone can only do ad-hoc wifi then it wont work. Try using bluetooth (Wireless Tether 2.0.7)

Any idea what version to use for the photon? I tried this one and I just get errors. Thanks
Wifi tethering the touchpad works great using my HTC incredible (running CM7). Must be the ad-hoc issue others have mentioned.
i had issues getting my tp to connect to the wireless hotspot from my desire s.
as soon as i changed the security type from wpa2 to wpa it started working.

The reason for that might be that they are two different standards of encryption, lollol, neither is backward/forward compatible with the other

yes i know that. i'm not a dickhead.
the TP is supposed to support WPA2, however it had issues with WPA2 on my desire s.
This does not work for me Either-it keeps saying 'Tethering but with Errors-see Log' and the log cannot load the Sofap part...
I have a feeling some phones can only broudcast WiFi in Ad-Hoc-Like my HTC HERO It may be time to say goodbye to it after all...I was actually hoping the TouchPad would mean i dont need a new phone as most of my stuff (good Flash Web Browser/Email/Games/Whatsapp/Facebook) would be sorted between the two devices....Oh well....
I believe the easiest way to tether from your rooted Android to the Touchpad is if you're running CM7, to use the built in wi-fi tether as it works flawlessly!
i dont see this option for fascinate
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
i only see WEXT (ad-hoc)
Title says it all. I can't locate the WiFi Tether app on here. Any help would be appreciated.
I just read Wireless Tether 2.0.7 works on the Rezound. I'm at work so I cannot try it though...search google and you'll find it.
Wireless Tether 2.0.7 did not work for me. Nor did 3.1 Beta 9. The SSID of the Tether is not broadcast, and manually creating a profile connecting to hidden SSID doesn't make a connection either.
In Titanium Backup I see an app called "TetheringGuard 2.3.4", but freezing or uninstalling it makes no difference.

tetheringguard is on my phone and my wifi tether works. yours does too. TetheringGuard only seems to have effect on the verizon wifi hotspot app (if you delete tetheringguard, the hotspot app stops working). Whatever device youre trying to see the SSID with doesnt like ad-hoc connections and thats the only way the app works on the rezound right now. Either that or you tried turning on encryption, in which case, just turn it off and run it open. It does work though, I've used it plenty to tether my fiance's Ipad2.
Anyone try the open garden tethering app in the market?

Ahh, encryption doesn't work... I haven't tried wide-open mode yet. Thanks!
I don't like unencrypted, but when I need 35 megabit LTE connectivity out on the road I guess beggars can't be choosers!

hoping they update it as well. Hate seeing random scrubs on my ACL when I go to places without free wifi. I'll take what I can get for now though!
Hehe, I spent 58 days consulting on-site for a security company, it was hilarious how many people were trying to get into my Incredible's tether every day.
It doesn't work for me just stays on obtaining IP address
I use wifi-tether 3.1 beta 7 with mss clamping and routing fix enabled.
I also just decompiled with 4G hotspot and saw that you have to register with Verizon in order to activate 4G hotspot. There's a ton of checks in there.
I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?
To use the mobile hot spot you have to pay for it

I'm using this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre113.apk&can=2&q= and I have "Routing Fix" checked under settings. Works good for me (CleanROM 1.1 and Ziggy's Kernel).
Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market. Don't change any settings. Just have an open connection and use access control. Like I said. Long story short, the issue lies within encryption. Leave it open and use access control. Hope this helps.

+1. Its the only way I got it to work with my device so far.
So what paid/free apps are currently working?
Is anyone tethering a Touchpad running CM7 successfully? or an iPad? Currently posting for hotspot, but might cancel if I can still successfully tether those two over Adhoc. I can't get the Touchpad to work using wifi tether yet and don't have an iPad right now.
