Need to share my 3g bandwidth from my samsung tab 10.1 , I found no inbuilt options (or did I miss something, pls say I did) .. Tried wireless tether, runs and shows as Ad Hoc hotspot, but no device can connect to it.
And Oh I'm rooted
You don't have a built in mobile hotspot app?
under wireless settings, there should be an option that says tethering and wireless hotspot.

I just got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI version. I am able to connect to the internet smoothly with my home WLAN network. However, when I turn on the wifi hotspot from my mobile phone, the tab does not recognize it (WIFI analyzer can though). My Lenovo laptop can see it and connect via it to the internet, so the hotspot itself is working.
I am just wondering if connecting to wifi hotspot is really supported in the tab and/or Android 3.1?
Thank you for your advice in advance
Connecting to an "Access Point" Hotspot works fine, tested it with my Galaxy S. Maybe your phone opens an Ad Hoc network?
thanks. this seems to be right into the point. i use symbian phone running joiku, and it indeed seems to support adhoc mode only. so anyway to enable adhoc wifi connecting support in my tab?
Haven't tried it myself but it seems there is a patch in the development section which enables ad-hoc network detection/connection (Tab needs to be rooted): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123638
Thank you. Now I have managed to make the adhoc wifi connecting work by following the instructions behind the above link

The 2.3.3 update provides the following that are fully functional:
USB Tethering - allows you to attach a single device via USB to allow it to access the Internet through your X10's WiFi or 3G data connection
Portable WiFi Hotspot - allows other WiFi-enabled devices to attach to your X10 via WiFi to allow them to access the Internet through your X10's 3G data connection
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot to get to and set up those features.
For USB tethering, you'll need either a WiFi or 3G data connection available. For the portable WiFi hotspot, you need a 3G data connection available and the WiFi hardware must be on as well (since your X10 will become a WiFi router).
They work quite well, and they easily replace what we used to need 3rd-party apps for in the past.

Configure it first, set your password or change to open.

I want to use the wireless tether in my SGS3, but unfortunately, mi laptop only supports 802.11b/g, while the SGS3 also supports 802.11n. I can't connect from my laptop to the SGS3. The laptop "sees" the wifi hotspot and displays the settings of the hotspot as "802.11n", but it can't connect. I suppose the culprit is the wifi standard used.
Anyone has tried the built-in wireless tether in the SGS3?
Anyone has tried another wireless tether app?
I have tried Wireless Tether for root users and it doesn't work.
By the way, my phone is rooted.
Thanks.
hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.
This may seem like a dumb question but... is there a way or an app to essentially turn on WiFi hotspot feature so that I can make an ad-hoc LAN but NOT let all the devices connected access the internet?
Example: I enable WiFi hotspot on my phone. I still have a cellular data connection so I can browse the web, stream music, etc. but any other device that connect to my phone's hotspot does NOT get my data connection, they are just on the LAN the built in android hotspot creates.
I don't want to let other users "run up" my data usage but I want the other users when they connect to my hotspot to be all on one network.
I have a bootloader unlocked Motorola Moto X (original, 2013) and rooted and I use Tasker. Maybe after I enable the hotspot feature I could modify some IP tables via a Tasker app to "enable/disable" internet blocking.
Or maybe there's an app out there for this? I suppose another alternative would be disable mobile data and then enable hotspot (if that's even allowed) but the pitfall there is then my phone doesn't have internet either.
Thanks,
Mike
