Hello.
I recently just got an HD2 but it is network locked.
So I just use Google Voice and it serves me well but when I'm not in a wifi zone I have to use my G1 which now isn't as great as it seemed to be last year
BUT
I can tether from my G1 and use it on the HD2 so I can use Google Voice no matter where I am.
Here is my problem
The HD2 does not pick up the tether. It picks up my house wifi etc etc just not my tether. I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick. I've tried changing the Channel to multiple channels but nothing.
Any reason why?
Thanks for quick response if anyone could help me before I have to leave for work which is pretty soon =P
really?
*bump*
Could I make it work with bluetooth tether?
(is it supported through another rom or something)
I'm n dire need of an unlock code since I can't tether if anyone can help me get one through T-Mobile ( since I don't know anyone with a T-Mobile account) please PM me please. I'm in need of one.
Can you see your tether from another machine? (like laptop or desktop)
Perhaps your G1 send out a hidden signal (not broadcasting)
In that case you should try directly editing the WiFi name and manually adding (without finding the WiFi network) the settings.
Also you could try to make your G1 "unhidden".
Just some thoughts...
"I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick"
It decided to show up today. Thanks Wilco.
Anyone know which wireless tether app works with the temp root? I've tried a few and a no go.
I've seen claims of barnacle working, but have yet to try it myself.

Barnacle works perfect. Thank you, and I hit your Ty button.
It can't stay connected though, since root is temp, correct?

I have Barnacle wifi tether running on my 3D with temp root. Works great, but yes it is temporary for now.
If the wireless part isn't necessary, pdanet works just fine without root.

I can temp root with no problems using my MacBook Pro and Fre3vo but no wireless tethering joy for me. Wireless Tether doesn't work at all. Barnacle gives no errors with the ad hoc connection, everything looks fine, even Snow Leopard's network diagnostics say that my internet is working fine, but no data is transmitted or received. I even tried all the tips/tricks in this thread, still no joy. Any suggestions?
PdaNet works ok with USB but is very unstable with Bluetooth.
BTW I had no problems at all with the EVO 4G either in ad hoc mode (early versions of Wireless Tether) or non ad hoc (whatever that's called, recent versions of WT).
I've tried most of the methods out there and the one in this thread has the highest success rate IMO. One important thing: check your apps and if you have "Super User" installed as an app, uninstall it first before trying the method in that thread.
Barnacle works perfectly for me under that setup.

I have the same issue. I also have a mac so it might be a mac issue. I get tether to work on my wifes shift so I know my computer works.

Thanks, the version of wireless tether mentioned in the linked post worked for me and I'm posting using it! I had tried every other version of WT on the google site, and every version of Barnacle I could find, none worked.
BTW I didn't have any error messages or have to change any settings as that page suggests, it just worked the first time.
This is the only version of WT that starts without errors for me, and I have to us WT as it can set up the softap network (Asus Transformer doesn't see ad-hoc). It sees it and connects, but can never get an IP Address.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to htc evo 4g
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business.

Just got it working on My Coworkers 3vo. download wifi tether 3.2 from the web, then go into settings and there is a setting in the menu that says enable for htc devices, once I did that it worked like a charm.
**Note** you need temp root

You mean this version, 3.1 beta 2? I've tried all the versions out there and some work perfectly some of the time, some never work, but none work all of the time. Can't figure out what changes, it's so random. I'm using the 3.1 beta 2 version to write this, but yesterday it didn't work and tomorrow I predict it won't work. BTW every time I start this version I get an error/warning message that some necessary thingamajigs aren't there, but I dismiss the message and it works anyway.
And of course I know I have to re-root after every restart etc.
works sporactically
Both Barnacle Wifi Tether and Andriod Wifi Tether work sporadically for me. It worked a few days ago and now it doesn't work.
is 4g tether working? I could not get it to work using barnacle
Barnacle works perfect for me with 4G...I haven't had one problem with it...
Supposedly, a beta version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" worked so long as you checked a box in the settings that was specific to HTC devices. I forget where there.
My new Touchpad don't seem to support ad-hoc wireless networks. It don't see them or let me join them by entering the SSID (network name) and password. Is there any software I can add or configuration change I can make to change this? I have a Windows Mobile cell phone that can share its connection over wifi, but its ad-hoc only and I use WEP.
Any ideas on what to do about adhoc networks? Any hacks or sideloaded software, if no official apps?
This KILLED me. I bought mine over the weekend while I was on vacation and the hotel had a catch-all page so I couldn't get through registration from that network. I figured no big deal and turned on my hotspot (Moto Photon) and it wasn't showing up. I configured a wifi shared connection on my laptop and it didn't show up. I thought I was insane! Ended up getting annoyed and driving up the road until I found an open network without a catch-all... My wife drove while I scanned for a connection. I know for a fact that they work with the Palm Pre's shared connection. What's up with the haterade HP?
I have an original droid and have this same issue as I understand cyanagen mod allows you to create a non ad hoc WiFi but I can't get a clear answer on this
So far I could not find an app or hack to allow the Touchpad to connect to an adhoc wifi either. I too have a WM phone (HD2). Unfortunately there is also no app for the WM phone that would allow it to broadcast infracstructure (non-adhoc) wifi.

I had this problem also, but you can still make it work. Goto your networks wifi setting and flip the auto switch and wait. It takes some time (almost 5min for me) but it'll pickup the ip address and finish loading the setup pages.
I am trying to use my TP with the wifi from my Touch Pro 2. Any help would be appreciated.
This is a real let down, no ad-hoc support. And our WinMo phone and Motorola Triumph do not support Infrastructure mode.
SoftAP appears to be a requirement to tether with android phones.
Unfortunately my Galaxy Spica does not have this so until some wonderful magical person creates an app/patch which allows the Touchpad to Bluetooth tether or utilise ad hoc wifi networks my tablet will be housebound
also need help with HTC HD2 on winmo 6.5 tethering adhoc with touchpad.
i guess the more realistic solution will be HD2 running android?
For you rooted android phone users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238382
I'm really annoyed about this. One of the main things I thought of when buying the touchpad was to tether it to my winmo phone and browse the internet on the move. I hope someone creates a patch soon to enable adhoc wifi.
Really disapointed that I can't tether my iphone 4 to my touchpad.
For the price I can live without gps, sd/micro sd card slot, usb but the not being able to tether this thing is a deal breaker for me.
All I wanted to be able to do with my touchpad is tether for mail, browse the web, music, and be able to watch movies and it seems this thing falls short on everyone of the fronts.
I wonder if its likely anyone will release a patch for WebOS to allow it to recognise and use AdHoc networks?!
Just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Spica to 2.2 Froyo using kitchen - Enabled portable Wi-Fi Hotspot from the settings menu and now it works perfectly (open or with WPA2 PSK encryption)
Appears this was the only way to get it to work for me as the touchpad was not detecting the adhoc connection on 2.1.
for those with the HD2, try using MCCM HD v6 DESIRE ROM. I can tether to my touchpad with no problems.... first try, no setting tweaks or anything...
Through my searching it was my understanding that Ad-Hoc support could be injected to the touchpad, is there any progress on this front to make it more user friendly? It was pretty heavy linux speak.
Most of the threads I've seen are focusing on Android development for support. What about the webOS side of things?
This is what I'm referencing:
webos-internals
.org/wiki/Ad-Hoc_Networking*
Is there some reason this isn't a viable option? the signal issues? Seems if the method is there than all that it needs is to be more user friendly...

I tried what was described in the thread a few days ago. Ran into issue when trying to execute
/usr/sbin/wifidriver -i
no such file exised....
I have a Samsung Charge with Gummybear. I could not tether at first. I went to the tethering settings and changed the profile to a Samsung Fascinate. Then changed the Setup-Method to softap for Samsung (master). This did not work at first then I shutdown (using the task manager) the tethering app and restarted. Turned my wi-fi on the touchpad off, then on, and my SSID came up. Clicked connect and went to access control and approved my touchpad connection. Now it works.
Hope this helps someone.
Just a heads up for anyone using an iphone 4 with their touchpad.
If you upgrade to ios 4.3.3 or later you can enable wifi hotspot and this hotspot will thether with the touchpad without issue.
I was running ios 4.1 trying to use mywi without success and then decided to try this method and works like a charm.
ok so my evo is Boosted and ive been trying to get faster speeds so i said F%*(%& it and i had a clear account for my Gaming needs and now i got Comcast so i said let try and get my phone on this account and finally last night they took it as an ( INTEL HANDHELD DEVICE ) and it is stupid fast im happy but when i try to use the 4G hotspot its NO GO BRO! it gives an error saying

What on earth?
On your Sprint Evo 3D, you're trying to use
- Clear WiMax 4G (not Sprint's)
- on the Boost Mobile network
- with a Comcast modem
- to play video games
This makes absolutely no sense -- slow down, son! What exactly are you trying to do here?
If you mean you just want to get your 4G hotspot working (regardless of provider), you obviously shouldn't use the built in Sprint hotspot (even the hacked one). You're going to have to screw around with Wifi Tether for Root (google it) or Barnacle, potentially in ad-hoc mode. Some tools (including the official hotspot tool) and some tethering modes pretty much tell the WiMax tower to assign a new IP to the broadcast, effectively giving your computer or laptop a distinct IP from the phone. This is why they don't work, and it's also how the company finds out. Clear probably sees this secondary IP request produced by the tethering app, notes that it isn't the IP configuration you set up with them (or paid for), and blocks your service.
Your solution? Get the phone working again, then use a different form of tethering or a different mode. Ad-hoc mode (Barnacle) and wired tether (PDANet) are practically guaranteed to work, unless Clear has a way of sniffing packets for routing protocols.

So what im running is HTC evo 3d on Boost Mobile and i added a Clear account its fast but when i tether it wont let me gives the error ? ive read your suggestions/instructions and im a bit lost so any more help you can provide is cool! PLEASE ADVISE! thanks
just use barnicle tether or wifi tether
they work fine with phones running on clear.
I know thats not a seamless integration but you can try custom roms as well....
I usually just use wifi tether it seems to be better for "boosted" phones
esp the ones i get on clear

well thanks for the help but i am running custom thats all ill run! im on Steal25 now and ive used the android tether before and it just seems not to like me ive always had better success with the hacked sprint hotspot! but i am desperate as if i cant get it fixed then its no purpose to have the clear account as i got comcast at home but when on the go i'm N THE NEED FOR SPEED! also as far as Barnacles it's always worked great but i guess i forgot about it Either Way i am glad for the responses and input to this problem
PS
can you tell me what you connected your phone to clear as ??? mine is labeled a intel handheld device ? and when i hit the page it says something about INTEL??? please advise
The Sprint WiFi tether does not work with 4G (clear). You'll need to use WiFi tether or the others. Wi-Fi tether works great and it's free. Check the boxes that say MSS clamping and routing fix (something like that).

Well I found an app that will allow you to share your phone's internet connection with your tablet via bluetooth. It doesn't require root either. And it isn't as slow as you may think it is than a wifi hotspot, but it mainly depends on if you have 3g or 4g and your coverage area and bluetooth version too. I tested it with 3g on android 4.1.2 (phone) and 4.4.2 (tablet) and it works fine. I found it as an alternative since android doesn't allow devices to connect to ad-hoc networks on stock android, therefore making you root and find a kernel that supports connecting to ad-hoc networks, and also if your phone doesn't have hotspot already enabled like mines. The con to this is that it doesn't allow you to use other apps to connect to the internet, but it has a few apps inside itself that uses the internet, like a browser and it allows you to share media between devices. The cool thing about it is that you can share the screen on your phone to your tablet or vice versa and view it there and browse around. I tried youtube, and it doesn't really work, but I guess its good if you want to lookup something on a bigger screen. The name of it is Screen Share (Search for it the play store) and there are two versions, one for your phone and one for your tablet. And all you do is go through the setup wizard on both devices and you're all set up! :good:
