Lets say you want to share the internet from your new (rooted) photon to one of those super sweet Xoom tablets or other device that doesn't like to connect to an ad-hoc network (PS3, Touchpad, etc...) Well you can either mod the device so it plays nice with ad-hoc (in the case of the Xoom you can use the link in my signature) or you can mod your phone to put out an infrastructure network signal.
So without any more talk... download the newest Wifi-Tether 3.0
Go into settings and change:
Device profile - Nexus One
Setup Method - Netd (master)
And there you go!
Super simple and easy solution.
Remember the thanks button!
Doesnt work when u activate wifi tethering it somehow activates the stock tethering an then says mobile ip reg error an reboots the phone.....

It gives me a message around the lines of "what the hell!, your phone is taking over the tethering, shutting wifi tethering now!" When I click on the notification in the status bar. It shuts down the tethering

I will post this on precentral.net and give you your well deserved credit! Thanks mr_wrong_0
Works fine for me...for a bit. It piped up with "wireless tether has been granted super user permissions" after it had been tethered for a good deal if time with but only 16mb of data transfer. Then it locked up my radio and wireless.

There is an EASIER and BETTER way ti get Free WIreless Tether for the Xoon AND HP Touchpad:
Goto Amazon Free Apps and download (for free) Tethering Widget. Install as a Widget and you are off and running with free wireless tether. Did this on my Photon and my wife's Photon with no issues. Works flawlessly. The Works on XOOM and HP TOUCHPAD. Enter a SSID (or keep default)>change to WPA2 PSK>Enter Password> Change to Channel 11. And both devices will will recogize the NEW Free Wireles Tether. Awesome.

I don't have 4G here in my little neck of the woods so I haven't been able to test it. As I understand it you need to start with 3G and then turn on 4G, but I haven't tested it at all (just read about it.)
I hope it works tethering 4G would be very nice.

To get the 3.0 version just download the 4shared app from market and search "wifi-tether". Also after that search just search for "apk " to see more results.

There is no way you can use 3g internet for free.
WiFi or nothing. Your choice.
To last poster: DroidVPN will use WiFi or 3G to connect to the private network, it has nothing to do with accessing internet. You need internet to connect to internet..doesn't make sense, eh?

No, it is true. They can bypass their network provider billing system, using vpn, ssh tunnel, certain proxy, certain port. By doing that their service provider dont know that they actually using data connection when on the service provider billing system seems like they're not.
But thats a fraud, and disscussing it is agains xda rules, and i just cant stand these cheapskate who can afford a few hundred dollar phone but cant spend a few bucks more for data service.
I'm the developer of Fast File Transfer, a free Android app that uses WiFi tethering for sending files between devices at speeds similar to WiFi Direct.
The app allows for speeds of up to 32 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in just over 4 minutes (depending on devices)
Features:
✔ Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
✔ The receiver is device-independent
✔ No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
✔ No data usage for file transfers
✔ The receiver does not have to have the app installed
✔ Send single or multiple files
✔ Easy to setup: Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL
Play Store Link:

I hope you find this useful!
Wow! Very thanks! Its is real cool!

According to this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/49020?start=0&tstart=0 the pre-installed WiFi direct does not work at least for the Xperia P.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
There seem to be two different functions called WiFi direct...

@XperianPro: You could see Fast File Transfer as an alternative to WiFi Shot :laugh:
Hope my app is of use for those with WiFi-Direct-capable devices, too.
E.g. for sending to any device, not only smartphones with WiFi direct.
Seems like Xperia S and Xperia P still need my app as a replacement for WiFi Direct, as the preinstalled one does not work even with WiFi shot.
My Xperia U support wifi direct.
Can you send to/from PC too?

You can send to any device if it has WiFi. So if your PC has WiFi, you can use it as the receiver.
The sender has to have the app installed, so sending from the PC to the phone is not possible.
Thanks for app,at least I can send files now to devices without wifi direct because Bluetooth 2.1 is damn slow.

Will it works on Galaxy SL I9003?
Hi Friends, I am using Galaxy SL I9003 with CM10 cROM. Stock ROM (2.3.5) didn't support WiFi Direct, as this feature is started from ICS 4.0 on wards. I rooted my mobile and flashed CM10 but didn't get WiFi Direct option. I installed this app but it stops at "Initializing". Did any of you tried on CM10 rom or stock GB ROM?
working

I purchased Kyocera Rise during blackfriday sale (switching from LG Optimus V to Kyocera Rise). After playing on it for awhile, I wanted to use it as a wifi hotspot so I downloaded quicksetting app but wifi hotspot setting didn't work. My Rise is rooted and using stock ROM. I was be able to use my LG Optimus V (rooted and IHO rom) as a wifi hotspot this way but it isn't working for my Rise. Thank you in advance.

Hey, I did something dumb and deleted system apps off my phone.
Could someone use root explorer and copy the stock folder: system/apps
or send a system dump.
I'm not sure of all the damage I've done but if you could at least give me a download/link, for Contacts.apk, Dialer.apk, Mms.apk

That sucks i have never had that phone but no its not true, lol this phone has everything you need to have a full android device even ics. But I like it its strong so far lol trust me its been droped alot already and all we have is root no cwm recovery but does have a stock one, and no bootloader but other then the side keyboard and you cant beat $80 bucks right I like it haven't had a lot of FC. p.s sense I forgot to say before lol that the phone does every now and then drain battery if you use it a lot and for some reason my wifi will turn on by its self sense I actual got minutes for it
So if you want to know more about this phone just ask me or look it up. p.s.s if you don't know so if you choose a different phone almost any phone can rooted running ics/jb there's a thread on here

Replace the DOT with a period... Sorry, can't post links yet....
trust me..I GOT THIS
Step 1 root your phone
Step 2 download blackmart from google
Step 3 download lucky patcher from blackmart or the internet(app icon is a yellow happy face)
Step 4 download svtp wifi hotspot from blackmart(get the paid version..all apps are free from blackmart)
Step 5 install it and open lucky patcher and find the svtp app.
Step 6 hold over it and tap remove liscence verification(just use auto modes)
Step 7 when it finishes just use the svtp app and it should work..
It worked for me and I have kyocera rise through virgin mobile
If you don't know how to root than google it! You don't even need a computer for this model

" torrents" this talk about piracy is aganst xda rules but on an educational purpose the mobile networks block all ports execpt the ones they need for services and port 80 what is internet.
dont bother about calling and asking about having to port unblocked as it is a sequrity risk and they will tell you to go on their premium plan where the port would be usable.
Use my phone as wifi tether occasionally in devon "middle of nowhere with bad conection" but i still get a steady 800kb/s.
