i'm using 3GS 4.3.3 but no luck with MiWi/pdanet.
Those are all ad-hoc.. As soon as the tablet is rooted, you can hack it to see ad-hoc networks, but as of now it will not see any ad-hoc wifi networks such as ones created with mywi, and pdanet.
You can change the Wireless mode to Infrastructure in Advanced Settings.
Where is "Advanced Settings" ?
I realized when tethering, it only works if making it an open hot spot, no password... it's an android thing.... I had the same result with my sony tablet using my Nexus s, and my friends iphone for tethering

Has anyone been able to get the galaxy s phone to connect to their archos bluetooth...my galaxy saids paired but the archos saids paired but not connected...plus help someone cuz i have no wifi just my phone's internet and without tethering having this archos is useless..
Join the ranks of countless of people having the same issue, there are many phones that do not work, mainly because of ad-hoc, do a search in the forums and you can read more on it, basically until we get root is not going to work.
Can you not tether via bluetooth (using "wireless tether for root users")?
i know some phones can tether via BT others can't, maybe yours can try it and see, i know my epic doesn't do BT.
Yes I have a epic and it rooted with a 2.2 rom. My archos is not connecting to the my phone but my epic saids paired...I was wondering if I could buy a 3g usb modern for the archos cuz I want to use my archos in my car..

The Archos would likely power the 3G USB modem, but without drivers on the Archos to run the modem, you'll get nothing.
Remember, this is a computer, and like any other computer, just because you can plug something in does not mean it will work. The two devices have to know how to talk to each other (drivers / API).
It is the same thing with the wireless and bluetooth tethering, and there are distinct differences between infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode in those communication technologies.

thanks well i have a sprint hotspot app on my epic 4g.. but its not paid for. Is there a difference in using sprint hotspot compare to the wireless tethering? Would my archos see my epic 4g if i were to use the hotspot app compare to the wireless tether app i installed?

Yes there is a difference. The hot spot uses infrastructure mode while the tethering uses adhoc. Most Android devices do not support adhoc.

I posted a version of wifi tether that works for me. Could you guys let me know if it works for others, it could be a fix for the android tethering issues across the board (remember this is to be installed on your phone)

ok i followed this guide and now i have my archos connected to my epic..i hate that i had to go back to 2.1 but i guess i'll live wit it.. here the guide for galaxy s user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804
i also been using that the only drawback is that i have to go back to 2.1
FWIW I have been able to get BT tether on my Hero (CyanogenMod) working though a tad finicky. I seem to have to pair, disconnect and restart tether on the phone, pair and it works. It always pairs but fails to work (no internet) that first time.
Also i believe there is a version of wireless tether for root that does infrastructure mode wifi.

Use mobile ap in phones setings/wireless/mobile ap. Works fine for me on my rooted galaxy s vibrant. Mobile Ap tethers through wifi not bluetooth so much faster.

You could wireless tether to your android phone if you are rooted.

I did try barnacle for the wireless tethering but my wifi on NT did not recognize it.

Probably because your phone was using an ad-hoc network which the Tablet won't connect to out of the box. Someone posted a hack here that will allow ad-hoc network connections, just have to search for it.

Just wanted to confirm that I have used this method to connect the NT to the wifi tether on my og droid - actually got decent speeds over 3G
Worked like a charm, thank you so much. Its because of this site and all the people on here that share their wealth of knowledge that I get to enjoy an optimal electronic experience and I greatly appreciate it!
I have a jailbroken Iphone 3gs and I know I can get by having to pay AT&T for personal hotspot but what I am stuck on is being able to pair my idevice to my rooted NT to enable use of nook outside a wi-fi coverage area.. Any Ideas or developments in enabling bluetooth capabilities w/ NT... Thanks
Most people would use a wifi tether app on their phone to tether their Nook for mobile internet

The term for what you are describing is "tethering." There are a few threads on the subject. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't test what kind of network it broadcasts, or what app is best to allow tethering.
There are a few threads on the subject:
Information on Ad-Hoc networks
iPhone-Specific Thread
General Information
My rooted NT can use wifi hotspot from my moto defy(cm7 rom)
Its fine!
I use PDA NET on my iphone 4 to create a wifi hotspot that I connect my NT to. It works really well.
PDANet on jailbroken iPhone 4s. Find it in Cydia.
Works on all my devices in any 3G or 4G area..
I can't believe I'm the only person to experience this.
Steps to recreate the issue:
Follow steps to remove flag using SQL Lite (Entitlement = 0)
Turn on WiFi connection and wait for it to connect
Lauch WiFi Tether 3.1 pre11 beta
Watch WiFi connection get turned OFF AUTOMATICALLY
Watch 4G LTE Turn on AUTOMATICALLY
Watch Verizon profit
Why??? Are we just not able to tether via wifi ? why is it called wifi tether? You mean 4G Tether right?
Also just tired FoxFi Tether and what do you know? WiFi mode has failed on your phone. Please use Bluetooth? LOL what is this garbage? is this a Verizon/Motorola thing?
Have never, ever seen this happen on HTC/Samsung phones.
Anyone pls?
ok, my first flame of the month: please take a logic 101 course, then reread your question. thank you!
Hey I even thanked you for attempting.
Regardless I would like to Tether using my WiFi connection and not Verizon's 4G.
Thanks! Anyone else care to take a stab at outsmarting me?
Why would you need to convert WiFi into uhh..WiFi?

I don't. I just can't understand why it won't work? Does your phone turn off wifi?
It shouldn't. It should let me run tether through my net connection or any damn connection I choose, not Verizon. Yet it keeps turning it off. Turning off my connection. It's odd, strange. I feel like I'm being controlled and oppressed by "the man!"
First phone I've encountered that forces Wifi off (a perfectly good connection) to switch over to 4G/3G. I just find it strange.
I'm new to Motorola phones, well I had the v120c in 2000 So far they're quite strange compared to HTC/Samsung.
Okay well first off... I don't know why you did the SQL edit because you're using a third party app anyway.
Secondly... I can't name a phone where you can tether a WiFi connection into another hotspot... There'd just be no point. Your connection will always be equal to or worse than your phone's, so you might as well just connect directly.
You're talking about internet pass through. Where it takes an existing connection whether it be wifi or 3G/4G and let a device use that for internet. What you're doing is data wifi tethering. Where it turns off your wifi radio and turns your phone into an access point so other can connect it and use your 3G/4G data to connect to the internet.

This program enables tethering (via wifi) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode)and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection which is established by the handset.

WiFi Tether does exactly what it says it does.
If you want to use your phone as a WiFi share to connect a computer that doesn't have WiFi then you'll need something like PdaNet instead.

Wifi tether uses your phones data connection to the carrier as the source and tethers another device using the phones wifi radio. This is the definition of wifi tether.
None of the aftermarket apps will work. The only way I've got this to work is using the SQL hack and using the native wifi hotspot app.
To use your device in this fashion the wifi radio must drop its connection to your wifi router, connect to 4g or 3g and convert the internal wifi radio into a wireless hotspot. This is normal behavior.
What your referring to is internet pass through as was previously mentioned

It sounds like he wants his phone to rebroadcast whatever wifi network he's connected so other devices can connect to it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
From what it sounds like, perhaps he is wanting to share a protected wifi network using an unprotected hotspot? *shrug*
Perhaps he wants his phone to be like a USB wireless adaptor that connects to a wifi ap and not use 4g? (kinda want to know how to do that myself). I was able to with no problem on a g2x
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
Just to test it out the capacity, tempreture etc. That's all. Never had a phone that forces WiFi off when you try to share the connection, even though, it's logical since you would need a connection in the 1st place.
I've since found out this can't be done on this phone.
FoxFi - "WiFi mode has failed on your phone"
If i am not mistaken, he is trying to use his pnone as a WiFi hotspot, using FoxFi (same as i am trying to do) using his data plan, but FoxFi does not seem to be working. I have the exact same issue, wheter using WiFi or Bluetooth, my laptop can not connect.
Any ideas?
Try Fox-fi again its been updated to work with the RAZR update. Worked like a charm.

I'm new at this, and so I appreciate any help offered. Here's my problem,and it seems to affects the masses:
Droid Razr -not Rooted
ICS OTA
Foxfi will NOT work on my Razr. I've deleted, uninstalled, reinstalled and still NOTHING.
Some folks insist it works, well, it may on their phone, but NOT on mine.
I have 2 Razrs in the house, and it fails on both. All it does is suggest Bluetooth, and that fails, too!!!!
Any or all help is so very much appreciated. Paying for 4gb data, and only use 1gb is kind of silly. I continue to pay because new share plan would cost more.
Thanks!

Root your phone and use the sql editor to remove the entitlement check, but it does require root.

Actually how about a router that's running wpa2 and a PSP that only supports wpa? My other radio on my router is 5GHz which my phone can't see. So wifi tether makes sense. I'm forced to use my mobile connection because wifi turned off.
