Barnacle wifi - Captivate General

Every time i turn it on it connects to my laptop then disconnects after a few seconds. It keeps on saying that it timed out. Any ideas why? Or maybe of a better app thatll let me jump on the phones 3g?

No better apps, but there are now ways to access mobileAP if you dont mind modding your phone... Several posts in the developers section.

He speaks the truth, MobleAP is way better. Barnacle and other wifi tethering apps make your phone a ad-hoc network that not all computers/phones can see but MobileAP actually makes your phone a wireless router.

Tethering Android devices to adhoc mode access points (like other phones) is always a problem. There are usually ways around it, but they seem to be device-specific. In my case I ended up needing to edit a couple of config files, I'm not using an Incredible though.
Ok. I'm just learning how to tether. I'm kinda a noob on that subject. What does advoc stand for. Also how can I tether to my computer so that I am using my phone for internet. I have a desktop not wireless. I have installed PDA once and I used it to text. But now I tarried to install it again but it will not let me....

[Q] HTC thunderbolt wifi

Do you use the wifi feature on your thunderbolt and if so have you used it in your gaming console and do you get lag on it?
I'm assuming you mean mobile hotspot feature and I have tried it and yes I do get lag. The mobile hotspot does not give great constant signal so there are many breaks and drop outs. I would not recommend using this but give it a shot if you want.
Hope this helps
The factory mobile hotspot app has a cap on the speed. I get better results from other tether apps.

Agreed, you will get better results from additional tether apps that are offered.

even using other tether apps, things like online gaming and streaming video are not exactly ideal
Tried xbox live through it and was disconnected while searching for any online games. I would say that it's probably not the best idea.
I play wow, with vent and sometimes pandora on 2-3 bars of 3g with low pings...
Edit: using easytether (wired)

I played some games and downloaded so songs with PDA net on my desktop. It was really fast on 4G. But you have to pay for PDA net aftrler awhile. I use wireless tether to connect my xoom when I need it

Haven't messed with the wireless to much I'd go with a third party app for it. Or USB tether. Can run xbox live with usb tether even without much problems. Atleast in my experience

Wifi hotspot app issue

Running heinz 57 rom on cell south showcase. Whenever I turn on hot spot, I lose my data connection. Devices are able to connect to my phone no problem, but obviously internet not working for those devices.
Wireless tether works fine, but it is only for one device and uses wep instead of wpa.
Anyone had any success with this?

I have same rom and phone and mine does this also. But wireless tether does work so no biggie.

Yeah, was just hoping to get better encryption and ability to let more than one person connect.

There is non app that can "hack" or "crack" an WiFi ap, yet.
Although as the ^^ person suggested, there is an app that has the ordinary pw for many routers

As someone who has hacked both WEP and WPA passwords I can tell you that this is almost impossible on the Android platform. To hack a router you must first put your wireless nic into a promesquios (dammit spelling) mode and then set it to receive packets. Many wireless nics do not support this mode and it would require the dev to develop an app that would recognize the phone, recognize the wifi chip (wireless nic), and then set it to catch packets. I say there is less than a 1% there will be an app that could do this.
The only way I could see this EVER working is if we can boot into a specialized backtrack 5 that can work on our phones. That would require a lot of work though. It took a crazy amount of genius to get Unbuntu running.

Don't forget that the wireless chip mist first support promiousics mode.
And I don't think there's many device chips that gonn support it.
Also think of the battery drain that it would cause. And it might would take a really long time.

Noob mobile hotspots issue

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

Not sure if i'm any help at all, but every time ive used wifi tethering, i need to load something on my phone after enabling tethering in order for the inernet to work on the computer. it never seems to work correctly until i use data on the phone after turning it on and connecting.
Freeze tether app in titbu. Done.

So I installed open garden tether and it works fine that way. Except for the fact that my wife's infuse stock doesn't see the ssid from a foot away.??? My computers and other friends cell's can connect, weird...

Need I repeat.. and slightly mod..
ROOT as you said that you had done. You can root stock. Then freeze or uninstall tethering manager in titanium backup. Done. Make sure you have a visible SSID
