I've had my GT since it launched and I'd have to say I'm really enjoying it. But with only having the 16GB WiFi version, I've felt the need to tether to my phone, but for some reason, while broadcasting, the device isn't recognized on my tab.
My phone I'm running Wireless Tether on my Fascinated running SC 2.9.2, and my Tab is completely stock with the touchwiz update.
I don't have any issues tethering any of my computers to my phone, but just not sure why the tab wont recognize the network.
Any ideas?

Does Wireless Tether provide an actual AP or is it adhoc mode?
Android's built-in tethering support does provide actual AP mode, at least on the Infuse 4G.
All the tether apps in the market are ad hoc. There are 2 fixes. Custom rom on phone, or root the gtab and install the supplicant patch you can find in the forums.
My wife runs the built in hotspot with the acs swiss cheese rom and it works fine on her stock gtab 10.1.

Tethering my Tablet to my Fascinate phone works perfectly out of the box, first try:
No special settings or configs for me!
I am using "3.0-pre11 experimental" version, apk grabbed from here:

Set-up Method: Auto

Passphrase: 13-digits string (no more, no less)
SSID: Changed to "myAndroid" (use whatever you want)
Channel: 01 (2412 MHz)

I'm using native Android tethering on my phone and it works great with the Tab.
On AT&T phones, you need to remove tethermanager.apk - it's bigbrotherware that disables tethering if you're not on a tethering plan. Don't know what the Verizon equivalent is.
Basically all "cooked" ROMs remove this as one of their first orders of business, at least for AT&T phones.
I have an un-rooted DroidX and after I paired it with my Galaxy tab, I noticed an option to Connect to device Internet Access. It works great for getting to the Market and web browsing. Some programs don't recognize the connection as a "wi-fi" connection however, programs like Google Music and Plex. But NetFlix does!
I tether my Samsung Vibrant to my galaxy tab 10.1 using the pdanet tablet version. You need to download this same tablet version both on your phone and the tab. It works flawlessly for me and I didn't need to download any other apks from unknown sources.. Try using the App and tell me how it worked!

@Mitchmoney - Does that require rooting the Vibrant?

I had to edit my wpa_supplicant file on my Tab 10.1 to get tethering working off my Sony Ericsson X10. I think I still have the modified file floating around, do you want it?
mien works fine, i just used the standard wireless access point app on the phoneq
Thanks markp99, it looks like my outdated wireless tethering app on my phone was the culprit. After upgrading to the version you posted, the Tab saw the network without a problem and it connected and worked great.
Thanks!
Nope, both my vibrant and my tab are both stock! Make sure you download that same pdanet tether app on both devices for it to work if you want to try it out!

Stock ROMs in the US typically have "bigbrotherware" that disables native tethering and frequently reports third-party tethering apps. This is how AT&T can nail iPhone tetherers within minutes of their first tether but they still haven't sent me a nastygram.
Native tethering on a debloated/decrippled ROM is the way to go, stock carrier ROM is not.
I just got my tab yesterday and have a rooted epic with the wireless tether from the market. I cant get mine to recognize the hot spot either. Still researching

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you rooted android users out there know that you can tether to your touchpad pretty easily.
Go download the newest version of wifi tether 3.1beta5
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Install it
Run it
Menu-Settings
Change Device-Profile
Select Samsung Fascinate
Change Setup-Method
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
Back to main screen
And now you are good to go. I have used this on my fascinate running the community rom, also read that someone had it running on their charge as well.
Have fun tethering.
Post back if this does or doesn't work for you, what device, and what rom/kernal you are running.
MOD EDIT (LP): There is another guide here by danalo1979
[HELP] Touchpad won't recognize my Android Hotspot
I just finished checking, and while my android tablet recognizes and connects to my android cellphone tethering, my hp touchpad doesnt even see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea because I did not have a problem doing this on an evo

Get the beta tethered wifi app. The standard one from the market doesn't work with it. I think it can't connect to ad hoc routers our something.

I cannot seem to connect Touchpad to any adhoc WiFi network. Really would like a fix for this one. iPads and iPhones connect to adhoc networks just fine.
I would manually enter the ssid, broadcast id, network id and ip address and forget dealing with dhcp if it's not working
maybe reboot? Mine works flawlessly on my android and touchpad
From what Im gathering, my HTC hero uses ad-hoc and the touchpad doesnt pick that up. Shame, but I have a feeling Im SOL.
Try turning off all the security settings etc...

wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. Select epic 4g under device profile in settings. Worked fine for me last night when I tried it. Took a little to configure and started with errors but I just restarted it and it was good.

Some android phones can only broadcast wifi via adhoc mode which is incompatible with the touchpad. Its not a matter of what program you choose, if your phone can only do ad-hoc wifi then it wont work. Try using bluetooth (Wireless Tether 2.0.7)

Any idea what version to use for the photon? I tried this one and I just get errors. Thanks
Wifi tethering the touchpad works great using my HTC incredible (running CM7). Must be the ad-hoc issue others have mentioned.
i had issues getting my tp to connect to the wireless hotspot from my desire s.
as soon as i changed the security type from wpa2 to wpa it started working.

The reason for that might be that they are two different standards of encryption, lollol, neither is backward/forward compatible with the other

yes i know that. i'm not a dickhead.
the TP is supposed to support WPA2, however it had issues with WPA2 on my desire s.
This does not work for me Either-it keeps saying 'Tethering but with Errors-see Log' and the log cannot load the Sofap part...
I have a feeling some phones can only broudcast WiFi in Ad-Hoc-Like my HTC HERO It may be time to say goodbye to it after all...I was actually hoping the TouchPad would mean i dont need a new phone as most of my stuff (good Flash Web Browser/Email/Games/Whatsapp/Facebook) would be sorted between the two devices....Oh well....
I believe the easiest way to tether from your rooted Android to the Touchpad is if you're running CM7, to use the built in wi-fi tether as it works flawlessly!
i dont see this option for fascinate
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
i only see WEXT (ad-hoc)
Ok so I have an Acer liquid android 2.3. I bought a Samsung galaxy s media player android 2.2 the other day. I want to connent the samsung to my Acer liquid to use the Acer liquids internet 3g connection when out and about. I'd like to do this ideally with Bluetooth tether. I've searched high and low all day and its doing my head in. Found lots of results for connecting an android tablet in the same way but the menu options are different. My guess is third party software?

Does it have to be Bluetooth? WiFi tethering works exactly the same.
Or wireless but android will not see an adhoc wifi hotspot. And you can only create adhoc networks on android itself

Not true. I do it all the time. To enable it on your tablet, see here: http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/.
There are many threads seeking a solution for this, but they are all tucked into phone-specific forums and I can't find any that address a general method for current version of Android (4.2.2).
Want to: run apps that demand to have WiFi on+connected, even when I'm on 3G/4G. (Specifically, I'd be happy if I could get Xfinity TV Player to run on my rooted stock Nexus 4 over HSPA, but again, hoping this thread will attract info about tricking apps in the general case.)
Tried: A) qaWifiOnlyMode.txt, B) running WiFi Tether For Root Users and quickly turning wifi on after launching. Neither worked.
Cheers
Hi, It's really bizarre... there are a few apps and methods to do this thing in what we call "closed source jail" AKA iOS ... and it is really amazing to discover that there isn't single method that works on our beloved open platform AKA Android?!?
Anyway, This is the only thing that still unavailable for android...
Cheers...
The Xfinity TV app requires you to be on Verizon Wireless for it to work on 3G/4G. It's a deal Comcast has with them.
I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 4 with LTE enabled & want that app to work without wifi, as well.
Perhaps there's just 1 line of code that looks for Verizon service???
The Connectivity Manager would play a role for certain:

Hi all
I just brought a refurbished unit. I love this device. However, I am using the stock rom for now and I am just wondering anyone get the Wifi and Mirroring worked at the same time. Once I get the tablet mirror to the TV, it will force the Wifi disconnected. Any solution ?
I don't think that's possible since both uses wifi but I've never tried it.
Also questions belong to the questions and answers subforum.

Sony support will tell you it doesn't work (not supported by hardware) and most people will say the same, well i'm here to tell you it does work, i just made this video showing you how to get it working, Sony should really fix this software bugs they are really annoying :/ they end up looking like they don't know their own products.
watch?v=bWV1NLxDMp4
Basically;
1-Connect to the tv
2-Go to wifi settings
3-Press the WPS button and cancel it
and the device should connect to the wifi network by it self
hope it helps!
