I have searched the posts and found posts about ad hoc on the prime but i assume that it was for a non rooted prime. So my question is, can i tether the prime after root?
I have a rooted HTC Rezound and the wifi tether works on my xoom and laptop. Sorry if this was asked already but i just could not tell for sure on the post.
there are mixed results with tethering to ad hoc networks but the general concensus I could find is is does not work on most ICS updated primes. Specifc phones and setups do seem to work. I have been having mixed results with Wireless tether on my rooted samsung captivate. sometimes it'll see the network sometimes it won't.
I don't think rooting the prime will fix this as the lack of ad hoc support is a limitation of the latest version of the primes software. more info here:

"i assume that it was for a non rooted prime"
this issue is irrespective of root

Hey everyone,
Searched for an hour about this and read tons of posts that talked about Droid phones and some others, but nothing that seemed to apply to mine.
I am wondering if it is possible to tether my old Samsung Hue phone to my G tablet? I live pretty far out into the country, and this is the best way I have to get internet access. The Hue EVDO connection is always pretty fast and much better than the Hughesnet satellite connection I had before.
Is it something that can be done? If so, please let me know which ROM would be best for this application.
Appreciate any and all help!

I have a Tilt2 running windows mobile 6.5 and have tethered successfully using a tethering program found in the tilt2 section of xda.
Also winmo here......buy wifirouter for winmo
Samsung Hue is not a smartphone. Not going to be able to WiFi tethering.
Only going to be able to do USB tethering. While the G-Tab can act as a USB host, I don't know if it has all of the kernel modules and networking components necessary to do this. (What basically amounts to dial up networking)
You might consider getting a MiFi type device from your carrier (Alltel? Now Verizon?). Then you could do WiFI tethering through EvDo that way.
Same here - I want to tether using my Cricket Samsung Messager Touch via DUN when mobile. I know it can be done cause we mess with cellular connecting devices (GSM - at&t) at work, but I have no knowledge of the inner workings of linux/android, or the dial-up scripts needed for US-Cellular/Cricket.
Add my name to the list! I want to do Bluetooth tethering so when I'm on the road I can use my phones 3G service to get internet on my tablet.
Got my GTablet on Saturday, this is my first day with it at work, and I was excited.
Except it turns out my GTablet doesn't see the wifi here. It sees two of them, but not the third one that I need access too. My iPhone sees and connects with it, no problem.
I attempted to manually set the SSID, but that just results in an unconnected network showing up in the network list.
Any thoughts? It's a G router running 2.4Ghz, thats all I know about it. I believe it's a 3Com.
My GTablet is running TnT Lite 4.40.
Is the network you're trying to connect to an adhoc network?

Or it may be that the network has a hidden ssid?

Asked around at work and none of the Tablet people had any ideas (all running iPads). None of the Droid users did either, since they are all on stock ROM phones. Since we're not technically supposed to use this network (why is it there?), I had to ask IT in a very hypothetical way. I'm pretty sure the tech knows why, but he responded 'hypothetically' and was cool about it.
We're running CISCO routers with PEAP enabled. Ooops. After doing a bit of research, doesn't look like TnT Lite handles that. So I'm going to have to try a new ROM. Thinking I may try one of the Vanilla builds.
Guess we'll find out tomorrow if I have to try a different one!
Ok, running Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP now, it sees the network and connects with it, but none of the intranet sites work. However I can access the internet from it.
Meh. Getting ticked off at this thing.
Maybe this will help?

I'm thinking of getting a Titan, but need to know Wi-Fi tethering to Asus Transformer Prime works.
Has anyone tried this or to any other Android 4 tablet?

On unbranded Titan, wifi tethering works with EVERYTHING. Not tried this particular Asus, but unless it's something exceptional sort of device, it will work if your phone is unbranded.
I have tethered a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb) to a Titan.
Not quite what you asked but I agree with the other poster that you have a near-guaranteed chance of success.
Thanks for your replies.
I've asked a similar question over on the Transformer Prime forum.
The reason I ask is that it seems with the Android 4 update to the Transformer it won't tether to an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network (although there seems to be lots of conflicting opinions as to why people are having problems).
So should my question be does the hotspot appear as an adhoc network?
Since asking I've put another custom O/S build on my Touch HD that will successfully tether over Bluetooth so the urgency for a new phone has dropped a bit. Which I guess leads to another question about whether the Titan supports BT tethering?
Mango hotspot does not appear as an ad-hoc network. It's an AP with WPA2 security.

I have just received my transformer prime and I am having trouble tethering my GSM galaxy nexus. The firmware has been upgraded to the latest build of ICS for both devices. I get a notification telling me that the connection via bluetooth tethering has been successful but I am unable to use it. I have also tried pdanet tablet with no luck. Is it possible to tether the phone with the tablet via bluetooth at all? Should I just bite the bullet and use wifi instead?
i know your talking about bluetooth, but if you mean ad-hoc... its been removed from ICS ... sorry
What do you mean by ad-hoc tethering? I have seen this term around the forums but not sure what it refers to.
I am able to do do wifi tethering just fine on my prime. The reason I would like to try it over bluetooth is to save battery on my phone.
You're in for some trouble. I have a Gnex and a Android Tablet. There's an issue with the Gnex dating back to last year where the BT connection will drop after a few minutes. Its a gigantic pain in the ass and to date I haven't found a fix.

Hey all -
My friend just bought an HTC Rezound to with a 2GB (4GB due to their current promo) data plan. He plans on using it as his main internet connection at his house over the summer because up there, they don't have cable internet or DSL available. Anyone have any input on what the best setup (ROM wise and app wise) would be for him to achieve this? I'm a little worried because I've seen some people saying Verizon can charge you for teathering (I'm currently on Sprint and have never had this problem on a rooted device) even if you use are rooted and use a 3rd party app. Is that true? If he has a custom rooted ROM, and uses something like android wi-fi teather, he should be fine right? How could they tell the data is going to a desktop vs. being displayed through his phones browser?
Anyone?

I really don't think you can tether for free with any of the ROMs out now. I just came from a droid 3 and could tether after hacking the radio, but haven't seen anything like that for the rezound. Tethering does come in handy once in a while. Anyone have any success tethering for free?

I believe there are at least two threads that deal with this at xda, so search "rezound wifi tether" on Google and you should get many hits. Search is your friend.
However, the long and the short is, GB ROMs will allow adhoc wifi tethering and ICS ROMs allow infrastructure tethering.
If you don't understand the difference, I wouldn't suggest messing with your friend's Rezound until you've done some research.

There are currently no wifi hotspot hacks to allow what your friend is looking for. If he's smart he'll pay for wifi hotspot and get unlimited data in the process(plenty of info on that). Otherwise as stated above, ad-hoc tether is available for GB and infrastructure tether for ICS.

So are you saying that VZW can tell if you use ad-hoc or infrastructure tether? I canceled my mhs because it was basically useless. Haven't asked for a refund since I figured I was getting what I paid for a little at a time and I thought they didn't know...

Nope, I was just saying that there isn't a hack for free MHS. You can only do 1-to-1 device tethering without MHS. As far as we currently know ad-hoc and infrastructure tethering is still not detectable.
I know At&t was pulling "We know you are tethering" claims with all the iPhone users when I was with them. That said I don't see how they could claim this with android with the option to use Firefox+Phony to change how you see the webpage.
I tether all the time for free
