Hello all,
From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?
Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
Thank you.

I remember there was a app but you need to be root!

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the app and downloaded it but didn't work on my phone, it gave an error in the las segment because it cant find the system group "wifi" in my phone. For what I can see the dev stopped updating this app, in my eyes its a shame because that could of been very useful and profitable for him at the same time.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

I'm so sorry that didnt worked for you but are other apps on playstore you could search or you could try this one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5oYWw5MDAwLnp0MTgwX2FkaG9jX3N3aXRjaGVyIl0.
wifi adhoc
Make your laptop wifi hotspot
Run dos as administrator and type as follows
netsh
wlan
set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name" key="password"
start hostednetwork
show hostednetwork
stop hostednetwork
IMP:- It works on windows 7 and 8 only
Thank you for your help!
I followed your instructions and I got the wireless network up and running. When I try to connect my phone to it (Evo 4g LTE) the phone sees the network, asks for the password, tries to connect but keeps disconnecting and connecting constantly nonstop.
Any suggestions?

Globe doesn't support mobile tethering even for the iPhone unless you pay them more and activate tethering through one of their supersurf plans. Same with Sun. Not sure with Smart.
Is the phone branded for example I whit three net work.l can't tether with my threr network locked phone. But a can with my genaric htc.
OK, new question... Thanks to your help I figured out how to make wifi only downloads over a mobile network.. But now I have a question of is there a way to make the system/apps whatever think that there actually is a wifi connection when there is not? For example, when playing gameloft games, in order to play online you need wifi... Which i do not have. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I don't know of any way to do that. You could try to use a wifi hotspot app on your phone, start the hotspot, and connect to the wifi from your own device.

Thaaaaanks a lot and sorry for the bad english

How would this work? My phone uses the same radio for Wi-Fi and hotspot....
I'm attempting to use an app that doesn't recognize networks, will only run off Wi-Fi.
There is a xpose module to do this.....personally I didn't tried yet that...bit hope it will work

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.....

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.

Have you tried using the native portable hotspot function? It's built right into the GS2, and I've used it just fine.
Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering and portable hotspot > Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
If that doesn't work for you, you can always root and install WiFi Tether for Root users: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
yes, but the problem is it only share adhoc and it works only to iphone coz iphone can also read adhoc connection, when u tried to connect to other android it doesnt work

Um, he told you to use the NATIVE function, not a third-party app.
Third-party apps are adhoc, native tethering is a proper access point. I use it all the time with my Tab 10.1

Please clarify what you are trying to do... Cause it is not really clear to me.
Are you saying you are trying to get a DIFFERENT android phone to connect to your phone when it is functioning as a hotspot? Why would you need do that???
What about laptops? Or other wi-fi capable devices, like a tablet? As I said, when I start a hotspot on MY GS2 the same way I described above, I was able to connect my laptop to it and access the internet just fine, even connecting to my work's VPN.
So the question is, what are you doing, and what is going wrong that ISN'T what you are expecting?
Hi,
I'm using CM9 beta4 by ludohirp and i really need wifi tethering.
Someone told me to use "Barnacle WiFi Tether" and another one told about "WiFi Tether", neither of them works for me, someone can help?

CM7 connection sharing was very good, my tablet and my computer connect to it without any problem...
You know, it's been over a year since I first got this phone, yet I never got the native wifi hotspot to work quite right. Stock or custom ROMs. Am I missing anything here?

in your apn list choose "minternet" before using wifi tether. don't choose the "yourproviderGPRS" you can't share GPRS in wifi tether even in usb tether.

i have got the same problem. this looks to be a problem of this cm 9 beta...
with cm 7 tethering worked fine.
can you use the standard tethering? (the android stock...)
if i try to activate mine it does nothing...

Like I said in the general thread of cm9... barnacle or wifi tether are third party apps... only can create ad-hoc networks that Android by default can't see... for the tf-101 there is a modded wpa_supplicant that can make the tablet "see" ad-hoc networks so you can connect to it....
PS: the reason of why cm7 stock tethering works if cz android stock tethering creates an infrastructure network.... and the reason of why only honeycomb tablets can't see ad-hoc networks is cz they don't have CyanogenMod... and cm have this feature enabled

Sorry dude it's for my fellow countryman..
Here in Philippines we have 3 or 4 apn that our service provider sends us.
1. "yourprovider"GPRS - this one is set with the proxy i.p adress.
2. "yourprovider" Internet - the one with the minternet at apn
3. mms
4. blah blah and others
i once tried to use the connection 1 and share it with wifi tether. Sure there is a wifi hotspot but there are no connections. I thought i can share 0.facebook to my computer. like free fb with my pc browser. and it fails
so i tried to top up a load and use connection 2 with the "minternet". and it works.
