I have wireless tether on my galaxy s 2 but my tab 10.1 can't even see it when it scans for wireless networks. I've tried rebooting the device and even tried to add it manually but to no avail.

You need a custom ROM because ad-hoc isn't built into the stock ROM. I'm 99% galaxy task can do ad-hoc.
start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
use ODIN to get Clockwork Recovery on your tab
Then don't worry about the "rooting" step, just flash it (from within the CWM recovery) with the newest galaxy task (USE THE FULL ROM, NOT THE UPDATE).
You should not need to root that device....
go to settings, wireless networks, tethering and portable hotspot, turn on Mobile AP. Set a SSID and password for kicks and giggles.
This was on my Vibrant and SGS4G, would assume it is on your phone too.
Yeah I am on galaxy task and can detect my x10 mini as a hotspot with barnacle. Just do what the guys above say, it should work fine

So I have been doing lots of reading and I just wanted to confirm what I think I have learned. I am running a rooted and bootloader unlocked rezound with stock rom. I am runnning wireless tether for root version 2.07. It appears I can only run adhoc which I can handle til I get an ICS rom. But is encryption possible. I an only do access control at the moment. Can I enable adhoc with encryption??
hit menu, go to settings and check enable wifi encryption
doing so making the app start without errors. but the signal is not visible to the laptop. it has to be a app/phone issue because i use adhoc and encryption on a different phone and my laptop has no issue.
So I was having issues with my phone and decided to start from scratch... I put it back to stock and then rooted it and installed wireless tether. I tried version 3.1 beta 14, 2.0.8 pre1 and 2.0.7 and neither of them worked. I start it up, get it running and when my laptop tried to connect, an error message pops up that says 'Windows was unable to connect.'
My next step was to install a new ROM. I installed MOF 2.3.5.ish from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 - I get the same error as before.
The next step was to try a different tether app. I was able to use EasyTether and it worked using USB which is one step closer, but the wireless still doesn't work. When I try to do wireless, it gives me the message below:
Hotspot/Tethering Error
Unable to connect to data network; turning off Hotspot/Tethering. You may not be subscribed to the Hotspot service; please contact your phone company.
So am I stuck having to use USB to tether or can someone help? Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you.

Try FoxFi. Can't get it via Google Play because of the Sprint block but can download the apk from the website.
To get Wireless Tether for Root to work did you follow the correct procedure for the Photon (such as changing the settings, disabling/enabling data, etc.)?

I'll try FoxFi.
What settings need to be changed?
FoxFi works. Thank you for the suggestion.
I am still curious as to why the other apps don't work though.

Typically for Wireless Tether for Root app need to change device to Samsung Galaxy S & then setup method to Netd(master). Depending on the device you are wanting to connect the channel may need to be changed as well. Also, probably get IP errors so to connect in infrastructure.......kill your data connection...start tethering...restore data connection.
Other apps are easier. According to others Open Garden Wifi tether app works as well. FoxFi for me has been the easiest and connects my tablet without issue.
i think it has to do with the 2.3.5 update.
it used to work for me but no longer does and i believe sprint may have asked motorolla to close the loop hole.

Foxfi is easier to use then wifi tehter... im not sure about performance but very straight forward

I have it, and got it from the market, where I can still get it, but it doesn't run - I get the error mentioned above.
I also recently started getting the OP error. Everything was fine until I flashed 2.3.5.ish. I will try flashing back to stock and see... I think its the 2.3.5.
hi. I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note II from Verizon and rooted the phone. I downloaded the wifi tether TREVE MOD and while it shows up in my laptop networks as connected, I have no web access for the browser or anything else. I followed the video instructions, but had to use the device profile for a Galaxy S3. When I had it profiled as Generic ICS/JB it did not even show up in my list of available networks. PLEASE help! I need this for my work! Here is the other info from within the wifi app: Setup method: Netd (master), Send Netd max client Cmd checked, enable wifi encryption checked, Wifi driver reload checked, Enable access control checked, Routing fix checked,
Phone info: Model SCH-I605, Android Version: 4.1.2, Baseband version, I605VRAMC3, Hardware VErsion: I605.06I have not flashed a custom ROM but may if someone can recommend one. I am

It looks like most of your setting are good, they look nearly the same as i have below. I haven't used tether in quite a while but i made a note on my phone if i ever needed it again. (ive flashed so many roms since that i just dont have the app anymore)
These settings did the trick for me when others didnt work. so give it a try.
profile samasung galaxy s3
setup method Netd-Ndc
check send netd max client cmd
enable wifi encryption
channel 01
check wifi driver reload 2
check routing fix
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This took me all day, thank you so much!!!! Works like a champ on my NoteII SCH-I605 running cleanrom 3.5
I have an unlocked and unbranded Samsung Galaxy S5 with the latest XtreStoLite ROM (based on Android 4.4.2).
No matter which ROM I use (included the latest stock Samsung ROM), I can enable tethering and my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is fine will connect to the phone just fine and the Web works.
However, if any other device tries to connect to my S5 (in the latest case, my Windows 8.1 tablet), they can't connect to any pages, and it disables data on the S5 until I turn Flight Mode on and back off (to restart the connection).
Any ideas?

Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Samsung SM-J100H and I am running Stock firmware (J100HXCU0APE3).
I rooted my phone and after that I cant use it as mobile hotspot or USB tethering. When I turn USB tethering on it activate and deactivate and gives an error. The mobile Hotspot just do nothing it only shows that is on, but no magic happens. I unrooted my phone, but the problems persiste. I need help, what can I do?
Thank You
