with my Huawei u8800 with aurora ics, I can use wifi tethering and share my 3g with every device I tried. All except touchpad.!!! with touchpad I cant see the tethering network of my phone. I used all wifi fixes but no good....
I don't have wifi problem, with my pad I connect to my home s. wireless router quickly and steady as ever. My only problem is that I can't see my phone's wifi tethering network.
My tethering problem is very complex and bizzare....i am trying to tether 3g from my u8800 to my HP touchpad running cm9 alpha2.All effords to make it work with u8800 aurora 2.0 shows that HP touchPAD cannot see the tethering network of the phone.
Other devices i hav tried with u8800 aurora 2.0 (laptops,pcs etc) see the network and connecting to it.
So u thing logically that the problem is not the u8800 aurora 2.0 but the Hp Touchpad.....Here is the good part
If i go back u8800 to official 2.3.5 the tethering WORKS like a charm with Hp Touchpad.
pffft go figure !!!
edit:Hp touchpad cant see tether network of u8800's (aurora2.0) booting in webos also.if u8800 has official 2.3.5 tethering works fine in webos too...
Tether
I can currently tether my 3G Verizon Wireless connection to my Touchpad using PDANet Tablet and Foxifi (both free on market.)
This is via bluetooth, however it works fairly well and I can access most apps, etc (Market, Browsers, Youtube, etc.)
Hope this helps
thanks for your answer, i tried your way too but no good either...
honestly, keep trying it. it doesn't work together every time. It does take me a few tries to get it configured/ connected fully

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.
Does anyone know how to get the x10 WiFi or Bluetooth connection working on a playbook? I am currently on CM7 rom.
Please help
What do you mean? Tethering to it and pairing? Should work just fine. I dont have any problems. Not running CM 7 at the moment but if your wifi and bluetooth work then should be good.
I tried BT tether as well as WiFi tether and they don't work. On CM7 roms the WiFi tether only works in ad-hoc mode which the playbook does not support. maybe i will try a different rom.
pairing works but not tethering
Rom's based on stock seem to work, I can tether my data connection to the playbook. As for the bluetooth, it pairs but I am unable to actually send any files back and forth (not sure if this option is actually available to non-bridged devices), it runs as a audio/video remote, currently using OS2 Beta, so maybe thats an issue, not sure, didn't check on OS 1.08
Wifi tethering working Blackberry Playbook
Hi,
i´ve had the same issues, beeing not able to wifi tether, with my playbook and Samsung Galaxy S2. Wifi tethering worked with every other device but not with my playbook.
Bluetooth tethering seems to be working with every BB and only some other devices.
So the problem must be in the wifi from bbpb.
Since yesterday there is 2.0.0.7111 beta for Playbook.
I installed the beta and now wifi tether works. I don`t get disconnected anymore.
hope that will work 4 you too.
Register here to be able to get 2.0.0.7111
Sorry, i`m not able to post Links =( ... just google 2.0.0.7111
Is anyone else having problems tethering to a rooted Thunderbolt? I have tried PDANet Tablet. The phone and tablet see each other on bluetooth. PDAnet running on both units and say connected but no data transfers.
I have also tried the built in WIFI tethering with the "Infected" rom that I am using. Again it shows connected on both sides but no data is transferring.
The WIFI at my house is working fine on the Prime.
Ad-Hoc tethering to the Prime is a known problem w/ the ICS update.

Try Open Garden (should be available on Android Market)
I have a thunderbolt as well and the only tethering app I could get to work with the Prime was 'Open Garden'. I tried Barnacle, WIFI Tether and one other one, but none of them worked. Not sure what is different about Open Garden but it seems to do the trick.
I tether my phone to my prime every day at work without issue......phone specs in sig. Just using the in-built wifi tethering from cm
There is already many threads about tethering. Couldn't people read and search before starting a new thread? All that have been said above have already been said many times.
I tether with my thunderbolt running built in app. Running Gingeritis 3D and SHIFTSENSE roms.
Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
Ok, I have a new Acer Iconia A200 tablet. It's WiFi only. My DX2 is running CM7 with the tethering patch applied.
The question is this: how can I USB tether my tablet with my phone? I have seen plenty of articles about phone to laptop/PC running XP/W7/Mac OS/Linux but nothing about Android to Android, particularly with USB. I know how to turn on the tethering on the phone. The tablet has both host and slave USB ports.
As a computer tech, I got the tablet so that I could put manuals on it instead of lugging my laptop around but sometimes you need an internet connection and a lot of places don't allow outside folks to tap their wireless network.
Thanks in advance. And just an FYI - the tablet is rooted and running ICS.
Search for an app called FoxFi in the Market. I installed it on my Droid X (stock, unrooted) and it works great for tethering my Transformer Prime. Maybe it will work for your device/rom as well.
I had problems getting it to work initially. I had to reboot my phone and turn off wi-fi first before it worked.
This app can tether via wi-fi or bluetooth. I have only tested wi-fi.
As far as USB tethering between two Android devices, I've never tried it. PdaNet 3.02 may be capable of doing this, but I don't really know.
Hope this helps.
