So i wanted to tether my G Tab to my Epic 4g phone. I installed Wifi Tether on my phone and it works great with other wireless connections like my computer. But it doesn't seem to work with this ROM... Did some general searches and it seems that AdHoc is not supported?? That there might be files that i can install that would fix this? Could someone help me out as to where i could find these file or whether it will work at all?
Thanks Guys and Gals...

I had an Epic Touch and had some issues with certain ROMs tethering. I just used my gTablet with my Motorola Photon yesterday and it worked fine. I'm using TeamDRH's JellyBean ROM and it works really well. You might want to consider giving it a shot.
I'm not 100% on which was to blame, the phone or the tablet, but here's their latest Jelly Bean ROM:

DD

Maybe this will help. Might not be baked in to the Rom.
I'm running Gharmony 1.6.2 and it tethers perfectly with my EVO LTE, which is of course infrastructure tethering.
I had an epic 4g touch before my current phone and I recall that being adhoc tether. The fix might be baked in to Team DRH already.
Hope this helps.

I have a Droid 1 and it is rooted. When I run Barnacle tether my Flyer does not show that there are any wifi signals in the area. I do not have trouble connecting to my house wifi but I would really like it if I can get my Flyer to tether to my phone.
I know barnacle is working properly because I am using it right now with my netbook.
After doing some more searching it seems like this a problem with all tablets, and the only fix is to root the tablet. So I guess I will be patiently waiting for root.
I can connect to my evo using the wifi tether app. I would suspect that its the barnacle app and not the flyer.

I can connect to my Desire Z WiFi hotspot running CM7.
Ad-Hoc
I think Barnacle creates an Ad-Hoc network and that may be why the Flyer doesn't connect. It works fine with my Inspire 4G which doesn't use that method.

I am in the same boat, droid 1 patiently waiting for a way to tether to the htc flyer
I connect my HTC Flyer to my phone with no problem.
Yeah the issue is that the wifi hotspot you created is adhoc. If you use the froyo built-in tethering, that should work.
I think the problem is the Droid 1 and how it creates a hotspot. Because I have used both barnacle and also wifi tether with the same results. My netbook can see it but not my tablet.
I am not sure why this is because I am also running CM7, but I guess it must be the way the Droid 1 is. And until the flyer gets rooted there is nothing I can do about it.

As in the one you have to pay for through verizon? I don't like tethering that much. lol. Id rather just wait then.
Cm7 has built in WiFi tethering. You don't need an app to do it. I suggest trying that under the WiFi settings. You don't have to pay for it.

I don't know. Tmobile doesn't charge. But I doubt you'd have to pay if it's a third party ROM like cyanogenmod.

Barnacle won't work with my Droid X but WiFi Tether works great.
It works on my
I have a htc evo with mikfroyo and my hotspot works good with my htc flyer i dont have any problems
I have a rooted d1 running Project Elite 4.2 flawlessly. I can connect anything including an iPod Touch to my droid via Wireless Tether app with the exception of my Flyer tab.
Why is the tablet different then everything else? It does not even see the d1.
Any suggestions other than changing ROMS? PE 4.2 has been the best on my phone.

Thats exactly why I started this thread. I agree PE 4.2 is amazing you should try some of the new GB roms they have really come a long way.
If we get the flyer rooted there are some apps and some .zip files out there that can fix this for us. We just need root access.
As someone already suggested, it sounds like the Flyer's wireless client doesn't recognize ad-hoc networking. Only infrastructure networking like hotspots, office and home WiFi.
Maybe there's and apps with better control of the wireless stack.

I have tried several of the gingerbread Roms with poor results. PE, liquid and cm7 all run great at first but become very buggy after a day or so. My d1 likes PE 4.2 the best.
Are there other tether apps that don't use ad-hoc?
I am new at this. I got my thunderbolt a month ago and it already has the new firmware. So, was wondering from tomorrow onwards, can this phone be rooted to get free wifi/hotspot (plus the new firmware) or I have to pay $20 per month
as I will be on a road trip for like 15 days and need this to work properly.
any suggestions from gurus here would be great.
If you have the where with all to root it, the Synergy rom has the unlocked hotspot. Do not know about other roms because I am new to the Tbolt. I am coming from an Evo.
Yes all roms have the hotspot feature and you can get them after root. I use the hotspot feature on CM7 and its working great.
Oh so you guys are using the integrated hotspot feature and not the downloadable app from the market?
Since I can't post in the dev forum yet: I still have a TB with the day1 rom/radio/everything, and I refused all the updates so far. Are the instructions in the root thread still applicable to me?

Nice avatar
you'll need root to get free wireless tethering. If your ROM doesn't have it built in, there's always barnacle...
After seeing the above replies, does anyone know if the Das Bamf 3.0 RC4 has a built in mobile hotspot like mentioned in the synergy rom? Or do we have to use Wireless tether for root users/barnacle?

Wireless tether
sent from my BAMF'n thunderbolt.
Wireless tether works great on my rooted T-Bolt. I had stock rom Froyo until last night, now I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 and wifi tether is working great still. You can even download it from the market as long as you do it via wifi and turn off your radio.
Which version are you using and what settings are you using? Did you set it to a specific device profile?
I tried 2.07 and it connects, but dies after about 2 or 3 minutes.
I tried the 3.1beta and cannot get that to connect at all.
Any assistance you could provide is greatly appreciated.
try Inj3ctTh3ory rom wireless tether is cooked in the rom
Hello everyone. I just purchased a new transformers prime & keyboard. I have a rooted droid x running miui pics rom. Now the droid x can tether to my notebook. Can tether to my viewsonic gtablet. But won't tether to my transformer running ics. 4.0. Appreciate any help & advice. Thank you
Get the new system update and try again.
appreciate it
Hey thanks. I'm going to have to re-rom my dx. From miui to liquid gb. Because I suspect its the miui ROM. I had two friends one with a rooted dx another with a rooted Samsung & thy both were able to tether that transformer with no problem. As for the update I read about it. Its supposed to be Android adhoc friendly. Thank u. Always appreciate good advice

I don't know if this info helps, but I have a Droid X with unrooted stock Gingerbread on it. I am able to do bluetooth tethering to my Prime with built-in bluetooth functionality, and I am also able to do WiFi tethering with the FoxFi app (without paying a tethering fee).
very intresting
Hello JKVATO. that is very a interesting statement I'm going to look into Bluetooth tethering & that foxfi app. Isn't that funny I'm rooted & ROMed up & can't even tether to a brand new transformer but other people can. Something is wrong with that picture. I like Miui. But if i can't tether my TPRIME. That is not acceptable!
Tether
Hello, at some point I needed to edit some wpasupplicant files to successfully tether. If I can find the post I'll link it.
Well yes I was reading about changing & or editing the wpa supplicant files. & I considered trying it. & still may have to but I'm going to install another rom(liquid gb) & see if that works if you post that file edit information it would be greatly appreciated. I still don't understand how come some people can tether the TPRIME with no problems & others can't the transformer is by far one of the best Android computer devices on the market I hope that development continues to grow for it
I know it is possible to tether android tablet to an android phone via bluetooth so the tablet can use phone internet. Is it possible to do the same with two android phones? I know it's doable over wi-fi, but bluetooth uses less battery.
in this specific case two phones in question are thunderbold and incredible. thunderbolt is rooted, incredible is not but I can root it if needed to make this work.
thank you

Thank you.
Finally I installed ICS on my incredible and paired both phones but still can't tether. any ideas?
I still need help with this.
I rooted my incredible, flashed ICS ROM and installed wifi tether 2.7, there is a bluetooth tether option there.
my thunderbolt has BAMF SoaB and bluetooth tether is greyed out in wifi tether app.
according to my research, it's a kernel issue, I need kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP". I tried flashing several different kernels with no success.
if anybody is successfully running bluetooth tether on their thunderbolt, please let me know which kernel you have installed.
thank you
on galaxy ace doesn't work :-??
This would be very nice if anyone could get this working.
I've had my Moto Xoom paired and using my phones internet via bluetooth many times, but I think it would be convenient to share by Droid 4's internet with my old D2 as well.
Has anyone had any luck with this besides using a WiFi hot spot and draining your battery in a couple hours?
Just recently bought a tablet and have the need to tether. Never had any issues on my OG with the hotspot mod but can't get that working on the LTE. WiFi tether is unbearably slow even when I have strong LTE speeds. Anyone have anything working?
I'm stock Jelly Bean, s-off, rooted so I'm open to anything but don't want to start removing the HTC files I've seen in other posts. Are there any ROMs with known tether working?
lol CM10.1 tethers just fine. i tether to my nexus 7 all the time.
Fair enough but I'd like to find a Sense ROM and keep things close to stock. The stock ROM is pretty functional on this device.
