Hi, I have been trying to get my HTC one M7 to work with WIFI tethering apps with no success, I literally tried every app out there and failed .
I have used WIFI tether for root users before on an HTC inspire 4G and it's by far the most efficient tethering app out there, however I can't get it to work with my One M7, the phone is branded AT&T, stock Kitkat 4.4.2 Sense 6 rooted and with stock kernel, unlocked and I use it with H2O SIM so I can not use the native tethering, I tried different ROMs and Kernels and failed, I tried various version of Wifi tether FRU and various settings, on the default settings the app starts with errors but no logs are stored, and if I change settings in the menu to HTC Rezound it starts fine with no errors but still it does not broadcast the SSID, what am I missing here ?
Same thing happens with Barnacle, starts but does not broadcasts
Any help will be appreciated .
Update : after playing with the settings my HTC one was detected by an iPhone 4s and successfully connected to internet, however I still cannot get it to show up on my laptop .
For some reason the SSID is listed under "Devices" and not "Networks" on the iPhone . in other words it was not recognized as a gateway/Router/access point .
My m7 runs insertcoin and tethering has always worked, kind of. . . Android devices connect without problem, but ios devices see the ssid but fail to connect. I was thinking it was something to do with the security method of the connection, but I don't know.

And Linux laptop can't connect because I don't have option for 64-bit WEP. That's why I thought it might be something to do with ios not connecting.

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.
First off i apologize if this is in the wrong section, so please move if needed mods. Well i have a problem connecting to wifi. Not just any old wifi, particularly my school wifi. I have come to figure out that for the life of me i cannot connect to my schools wifi whenever i run any sense based rom on my 3vo. I also couldn't connect to my schools wifi with my hero with any sense based rom as well. It seems like the problem is sense then because i have no problem connecting when i run aosp or cyanogen. When i connect with an aosp rom all i have to do is input the username/identity and password, 3 seconds later im connected. With any sense based roms i get it detects the signal but automatically prompts me for the password, no other option. Networking is not my forte but if i recall the security that my school uses is wpa enterprise peap or something along those lines. Now i know some of you may say just run an aosp rom but sometimes i need full functionality and i cant swap on the fly (hboot 1.5 htc unlock method)Any help would be greatly appreciated because i hate not having any network access at school. Thanks in advance
PS. ive tried adding manually but still no help, ive also tried that wifi configurator app to see if it could help but alas... Zilch!
first of all let me ask you if your friends have htc phones and if any of them runs in the same problem if using a sense rom. it's pretty strange. try wifi manager from market maybe u get lucky https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5rbWFuLldpZmlNYW5hZ2VyIl0.
Yeah a few friends of mine have HTC phones none of us can connect, they all run stock roms too, no root for them. We all get the same prompt for password without being able to enter username and password. I'll try out this manager though and see how what happens
Thanks
I am on the nocturnal rom and I have major wifi and connection issues. im rooted s still on with hboot1.50 but I have flashed a new rom a new kernel and also wifi manager nothing works
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.
I am running Nilsp business ics 3.x, s-on as of now, I have been using the Wifi tether app that Nilsp added to the rom with the profile set to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and the routing fix checked, and it works for the most part. What happens is my laptop will be connected to the wifi from the phone but it can't access the internet because it says "limited access" with a little exclamation sign next to it. It is not that the phone is not connected to the internet though because my buddy's iPad will be connected to the internet at the same time and it will be working fine for him. Could be a problem with the phone, could be a problem with my computer, I don't know. My computer will connect to other wifi signals just fine. Very confused on this matter. Anyone got any answers?

probably the laptop:
make sure you don't have any static-ip settings on your wifi adapter. Let the phone get an IP dynamically. Also don't set any specific dns entries either. I had difficulty from both angles if I didn't just let the wifi-tether app dictate the network settings to the laptop.
Also, do you have any custom firewalls on your laptop? The phone defaults to the 192.168.2.0/ network, so it's not the same as your home router, which is probably 192.168.1.0/
My laptop does that as well but the limited access for about a minute or so but then works fine. Im not sure what causes it
Boot to safe mode with networking (f8 on boot up) and see if it connects.
If it works in safemode with networking then you have a firewall issue.
I can assist further if it is the case
Ok so yeah I am haiving the same problem as hardfallen87. I'm sorry but I don't think I completely understand everything you guys have said to try and help. I sort of understand the IP address stuff but I can't find any settings like that anywhere on the computer. And no I do not have any custom firewall installed.
Still haven't really fixed this problem. I'm still constantly getting limited access on my PC from my phone's WiFi tethering app. I am now running Nils Business ICS Sense 4 version 2.6 and am S-off but it seems no matter what ROM I use it doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated...

Hi guys,
So my Evo 3D updated to ICS last night, internet worked before and after update. The phones internet just stopped working, it connects to the wifi router, tries to sync, i try open anything that requires internet and no internet. The symptoms are as if i entered a setting wrong, but trust me i have been trying this for hours to FORGET network then re-add it. I rebooted the router, i have tried connecting to another router, it connects but no internet (i am using static, its my work connection). I can ping the phone.
What are your suggestions? I have cleared all cache, took battery out. When i use Mobile Network everything then works. This is very frustrating as Wifi should be a simple thing for Android. PLEEEEEASSSEEE get this working
I have the same problem... today i updated my evo to android ICS and connect to wifi, wifi is connected, but not internet
Try to do factory reset.
Sent from my PG86300 using TapaTalk 2.0
I tried but it did not help..
Simple, ##786#. Enter your MSL code. Click yes. Phone will format itself (no, not your SD card). It will clear any NV (Non-Volatile) memory. And it will have blanked out IDs for Username and MEID and whatnot. This is not just a factory reset or a /data wipe. After it finally boots up, it will give the 'Hands-Free Activation', followed by 1x connection, followed by 3G.
I am assuming that the ICS update was an OTA, which means that I am unaware of the official Sprint update. I'll read the General forums see if that's what it is. Nonetheless, if this is a custom ROM, be aware that some custom ROMs will NOT properly activate after an RTN reset. In the case that it IS the case; and you don't have any connectivity, even phone services, simply flash a Stock rooted ROM. Edit: I see you did mean the official OTA, so ignore this paragraph as it only applies to a few custom Sense ROMs, and all AOSP ROMs which can accept ##RTN#.
In the case that your phone is not rooted / S-Off, ignore the entirety of the 2nd paragraph.
Hmm, maybe ignore all this, seeing as how I misread it was your WiFi erroring. I do not see how an RTN will fix that. One of the .ko files probably needs replacing.

Same problem here. I connect to home wifi with static IP address and I can access everything in LAN but internet does not work. Yesterday I was connected on DHCP wifi at work and it worked without problem and when I came home, at my surprise, my static home network also worked (without changing anything). But today I was not connected to work wifi and when I came home I got same problem again

Hi!
I had the same problem yesterday as I installed the TeamGenesis 1.0 ICS ROM.
I restored all my data (also the system settings) and there was the problem. The "APN" has to be reset in the settings to default and than it worked for me again.

try configuring your mobile network access point.

OTA upgrade sometimes cause problem, please search a RUU ICS Stock, extract to get rom.zip, rename it and flash it via Fastboot.
