Hello,
I am brand new to the forums. I have done some poking around but I want to have a threat dedicated to this as Im going to assume a lot of people are going to have this problem.
I just bought my gtablet about 2 hours ago. I havent been able to root it or install any roms yet because I bought it in chicago and I am on my way back home to michigan right now as I type this.
I am trying to see if anyone knows how to get wireless tether to work on the gtablet. I have a rooted incredible running cyanogen 6.0.2 w/ wireless tether. I am connected to my phone right now as I type this on my netbook. I cant get my gtab to see my wireless tether...any ideas or things to try. I cant be the only one thats run into issues.
Secondly, maybe this needs its own thread. I was going to try doing it via bluetooth with the bluetooth sync. Both devices see eachother.....both devices request a pair confirmation wiht the same key...but both are saying paired not connected. Any ideas why this is? I sync with other BT devices from my INC just fine.
So, wireless tether...wont work....works from other devices but not my gtab to my incredible...bluetooth wont connect.
I plan on rooting my gtab tonight when i get home and settled in. Any ideas would be awesome.
Thanks!

i use wireless tether for my gtablet from my rooted incredible but i have heard others say they cannot get it to work. i am using the wireless tether that is installed on redemptive revolution 2.1.2
Your problem is what i ran into, ad-hoc networks vs infastructure. I am able to switch my gtablet back and forth using the information i found here: h ttp://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital-novel-android-tablet-discussion/4505-i-have-infrastructure-adhoc-working-same-time-do-you-want-look-here.html
Its not just layed out perfectly for you but the main idea is to edit wpa_supplicant.conf to look for ad-hoc. The link has a apk that lets you go from your current settings to a tethered setting then back again. The link is the only reason I figured it out and is the easiest way i found so far. Sorry I dont have time to lay out a straight forward guide for the gtablet right now but being I novice I was able to get it using the link.
hmm, mine works with no modifications.

Not mine, but I will hold off with any more mods until a new TnT rom is released. Even with Titanium, getting the device back to par is getting old. Not even fooling with the openGL patch, since my luck will be boot loops and a forced reset of the rom.

Some phones can tether using infrastructure setup but mine (droid1) and many others can only create ad-hoc networks to tether. From what I have read android can only connect to wireless infrastructure not ad-hoc without going through the steps in the link. I may be way off on this and would love to be wrong since the hack is kind of a pain to implement but its the only thing that has worked for me.
Wifi tether working for me now!
Apparently the version I had and the one in the market are not a fit for my device. A kind soul from a "rival" land pointed me to a version that does work.
Thanks!
I appreciate wifi tether (faster than expected), but we would save some serious battery power for both devices if USB tether was available

Phone is the Incredible.
UPDATE:
The wifitether app worked fine with TNT 1.03, but does not work with Tnt 2.0- device not seen, just like BEFORE I got this app. This issue is getting old quickly.
UPDATE 2:
Now it works... not understanding this at all. I need beer.
I have searched these forums and the net but can not find an easy solution to get the adhoc wifi of the Droid 1 to be seen by the Gtablet. In my searching I found where file wpa_supplicant.conf was to be edited and it fixed the problem (it was very involved). But I remember reading some place that had the file edited that you could just back up the original and copy the new over. Does anyone know where this updated file might be or a fix for someone like me that does not feel comfortable editing files?
I'll admit it... I'm looking for a noob way to fix this problem.
Hey there need help. I have a friend that just rooted his phone and is using wireless tether, but His computer won't recognise the phone as WiFi. What should he check for or fix?

I have tried everything I have read, and I still can not get my G Tablet to see my Droid 1. I have tried both Barnacle WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether. Both my G Tablet and my Droid 1 are rooted. My iPod Touch works with my Droid 1, so I don't think the Droid is the problem.

There has to be a way to do it. I thought I read somewhere how to do it but I just can't find it. I have had my Gtablet from the day they went on sale at Sears and have looked at 1000's of post then I decided it was time to root both devices to use the wifi... only to find out the adhoc from the Droid 1 wouldn't work. BAH!

It does work, but not sure it does on all flavors of firmware as I had it set up just not sure which firmware I was testing on at the time... I did have problems with Original TNT stock firmware... same files I was trying worked on not sure whether early CM or Ztab... but on original TNT it looked like a wpa_supplicant bug as was definitiely seeing the conf file but wouldn't find anything with the scan... so came back with error like the original tablet I had to return did for any Infrastructure scan... I'm bouncing between both my Gtabs running diff firmware on each so easy to get confused at times... What version are you running and I'll try to give it a go tomorrow...

Flashed with clockworkmod from one of the threads here a file called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip and it worked.

I am also running the original G Tablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.
UPDATE: I realized last night that my files were not being overwritten with the modified ones, even though I was telling Root Explorer to replace the existing ones. I will delete the old wpa_supplicant.conf file before copying the modified version next time, to see if it makes a difference. Right now I am restoring everything that I had on the GTab little by little after frying my wifi settings last night. I couldn't get it working, so I did a factory reset and lost everything.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Yep. That was my problem. My modified wpa_supplicant.conf file was not replacing the original one. Once I deleted the old one manually, and copied the modified one in its place, it worked. I can now tether to my original Motorola Droid. I am using a program called AdhocAble to switch easily between two different wpa_supplicant.conf files (one for adhoc, and another for infrastructure).
MORE INFO: The problem I am having now is that my wireless quits working after each reboot. I have to change the file permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf to allow read-write for Other. Once I do this, the wireless starts working again. I even tried changing onwership of the wpa_supplicant.conf file to system.wifi, but that stopped AdhocAble from being able to change between adhoc and normal modes. I will probably try that patched supplicant binary soon.
FINAL UPDATE: Wow. wpa_adhoc-signed.zip worked for me, too. My Droid 1 is showing up with an asterisk beside it in my wifi list. This is the best fix yet. Yahoo! Thanks tcrews for posting this one.

Hi,
I have the wifi-only XOOM (nonrooted) and a rooted HTC EVO. I can pair and connect each device with another blue-tooth device, so I know that both have blue-tooth working.
I can't get the Xoom and EVO to connect via blue-tooth. It says "paired but not connected" and when I try to click on it to connect it, nothing will happen (on other items it will search...then connect). The only options available to me are rename device and unpair.
I've rebooted, nothing works. I've tried the instructions for tethering, and just trying to get the blue-tooth connection to work.
1. Has anyone successfully paired the wifi only xoom with the evo?
2. Any ideas or suggestions for me?
Thanks. This is really frustrating because the tethering is the reason I bought the wifi only xoom.
Edit: I thought I typed this, but it is not showing. Somewhere on XDA are the instructions for wireless tethering, (sorry don't have link handy) and I have followed them. Doesn't work.
I rooted my EVO with CM7 and the Hotspot software came pre-installed. I just tether to my xoom with that, no problems. It's pretty fast on 3G.

My EVO has Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] which has the wireless tether built in. Is your xoom rooted or non? Mine is not.
yeah, it would be great if someone could figure out how to tether via bluetooth with an EVO to the Xoom; my wife has a non rooted evo, and a wifi only xoom, and wishes she could tether..
My rooted EVO does wifi tether easily to the xoom, but, it wont tether via bluetooth either; it shows "paired", but never connected..
Anyone figured this out yet?
thanks
same here. I have rooted Evo with vaelpak 3.2 on it and the wifi tether app works great but I can't get Bluetooth to tether at all. I hear that is a faster connection so I want to try it but the is no option to tether after clicking the wrench

I have the same problem running a rooted evo with MYN 2.2 RLS5. Paired but not connected is the only thing I can get. I download the newest wireless tether app and could not get it to work.
I can can tether using Wireless tether using an open connection but when I try to encrypt I cannot get it to work. I sure would like a fix before my trial runs out on the xoom.

I do not have an EVO, I have a droid OG , but ran into a similar problem. I made a video on the subject. I apologize if this does not work for you but try it out. I recommend unpairing your devices first and start where the video starts. I had to unpair to get mine working. Since your rooted it shouldn't be a problem and take a minute to try it out.

if your phone is rooted, its super easy to tether via wifi; hundreds of posts all over this board and the internet about it.
its tethering via bluetooth that doesnt seem to work on an evo..

Thanks, I find all of the tether wifi posts, and I can do that. I thought I had seen that some evo users were able to tether by bluetooth, but maybe not. Maybe when the sd card slot patch comes out it will fix it.
as far as i can work out, all app i tried on x10 make it ad-hoc, and xoom doenst recognize ad-hoc.
so is there any other method that i can tether?
PS: i tried bluetooth tether on pdanet, and it doesnt work on x10
You simply need to download wifitether app.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
to the phone or to xoom?
i dled it on the phone, and it still only makes ad-hoc since kernel doenst support full function.
dl to the xoom? i dont see how it works but i will try........

You need to download it to your phone, but if your phone doesn't support infrastucture mode then it probably won't work.
I think I did read somewhere that X10 will get an Android update soon, this should fix the problem.
I have been using my DHD (android 2.2.1 stock rom) with stock wifi hotspot app as an access point for my Xoom without any problems.
hope so, but i dont think SE will up the kernel with build. the kernel in my x10i was still .29
i have an x10 too and am sad to see bluetooth mode doesn't work
However, devs over in the x10 forum have cracked the bootloader and are working on custom kernel development!
Finally i did it.
Hi guys. Just a heads up for you, last night i was able to tether my x10 with my Xoom, i did not rooted my new Xoom because i just got it and i don´t want to loose my warranty just yet, so i tried to figure it out a way to make the x10 work on the Xoom, and last night i successfuly done this with bluetooth tethering. Works great, i just downloaded J's new CM7.0.3, after instalation i downloaded Wireless Tether from the Market and used Bluetooth functionality.
Since the new Kernel supports Iptables and Netfilter i was able to use it without problems. Any questions post here, i will try to help the best way i can.
If you root the xoom you can make it see ad-hoc networks by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Yeah Mr_Wrong, i know that, but as i said in my previous post, i just got my Xoom and i don't want to loose my warranty already, that's why i started a battle with my X10 to make it support bluetooth PAN or Infrastructure tethering mode. So i did it without loosing my Xoom warranty.
But just for now anyways, soon or later my Xoom will be rooted, i just think it's too early for that right now.
I am running the latest MIUI with the InvisibleK kernel. I get the tether to start and allow access, I connect to it with my computer, but it always says limited access. It never actually connects. Is this a kernel issue, a ROM issue, or what?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this is still a requirements for wireless tether, but do you have the android.tether folder on your SD card with the proper file in it? Also try toggling your access control and allow your computer on the access control list. Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
*It's IncREDible*
I have not changed anything from what the ROM installed. I downloaded the WiFi tether app from Google's code page.
I reverted back to my backup of SkyRaider4. The computer connects every time now with the WiFi Tether, but it now tells me there is no internet access... I am thoroughly confused.

I'm using version 2.0.7 and it's absolutely flawless.

I can't believe you haven't flashed a ROM in that long, or you flashed and went back. GB has a lot more to offer than froyo these days.

Actually I just reflashed Redemption 2.4 today, cause my phone was starting to strange stuff.
I've tried a number of ROM's but keep coming back to Redemption. But, once there's a really stable GB ROM where everything works I'll probably make the move.
Hi Guys,
In the last three days I've learned how to root my captivate, side-load apps, installed barnacle and wifi tether, all in the hopes of using my TF while on the road with my Captivate.
Unfortunately I cant get BT or Ad Hoc tethering to work.
I get the paired but not connected error when using BT
My TF is 8.2.3.13 so I can't root (without downgrading to 8.2.3.9 which I'm kind of afraid to do).
Does anyone know if I need to install a custom rom on my captivate in order to get the BT to tether?
I've probably read 100 threads in hopes of getting this to work, but at this point I might have to return the TF and get an ipad (yuck) just to get some connectivity for working on the road.
Any suggestions would be very very appreciated.
Regards,
wunshot
I'm assuming you want to use internet from your phone to tether to the tablet correct? Installing a custom rom is one way of achieving this. I use cognition rom which comes with the ability to tether through wifi. You need to activate that on the phone and have the tablet connect to the phone's wifi network.
I'm not sure if you were doing this but you cannot create an ad hoc network on the tablet and connect the phone to it to tether. The phone has to be the host and the tablet the client.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You don't want bluetooth. SirSid is on the right track suggesting the custom ROM although there are other ways that might not be as simple.
You want to turn on Mobile AP (Access Point) which turns your Cappy into a wifi hotspot and you're good to go. Go check the Captivate forums on how to achieve Mobile AP without much trouble. If you try to use it on a stock froyo cappy it will warn you about needing a tethering plan with ATT, you can easily remove the plan check using TiBu and it's all spelled out in the Cappy forums.

I use Captivate all the time and I can turn on the mobile hotspot and have my TF connect to it.
Atleast I'm not aware of being able to do BT tethering on a Captivate. I'm interested to know, if its even possible. Lets post a thread on the Captivate forum.
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i plan on using my phone as the wifi host. I will give that cognition rom a shot. Im assuming the cognition rom creates the wifi network using infrastructure rather than ad hoc...is that the case?

Have no idea, I know it just works, it's actually a part of Android since Froyo, it just needs to be enabled and/or not checked if you don't have a tether plan.
I think cognition just uses the defualt android AP app. It creates the network in infrastructure mode if I remember right.
In any case, it just works
(Its located in Settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile AP)
It supports bluetooth tethering as well, but the tablet would need to recognize it as a bluetooth modem. I have not tried that yet. Using a usb tether would probably be best if it works however. Using wifi tether drains battery faster than than my car charger can charge my phone. I still manage to loose battery even when its plugged in.
Sweet...I'll install cognition when I get home and see where I stand. Thanks for the advice...I'll updater you in a few hours with my results
OP, I have a rooted cappy with firefly rom on it. Super easy to do and its stable and allows for wifi hot spot without stupid ATT finding out you are tethering.
http://www phoenix-hq com/firefly/
It is a legit stable rom. I am able to wifi tether easily with my TF, no problems.
I'm on a stock froyo captivate Mobile AP works fine for tethering, can't figure out bluetooth. I tried for a couple of hours but gave it up Mobile AP works great, although I hear bluetooth saves battery?
EDIT: sorry it's a rogers captivate, i believe US is still on 2.1 nvm!

I don't understand why your getting into the Ad-hoc thing. Any rooted ROM you install on the Captivate, you can make your phone a Wifi hotspot via Mobile AP settings. That would create a Wifi network from the phone, and you can connect to that network in the TF.

Hey guys, Im a new tf101 user, and picked mine up with ICS already on it. It wont connect to my tmobile vibrant , It only sees the network and says "saved" not really connecting to the internet.
anyways, did a bunch of searching, found out ICS dropped ad-hoc... and I can either somehow make my phone transmit in infrastructure and/or use a new rom that adds native tethering onto it. (I really dont want to mess around on my phone, anymore... its too important and would rather mess with the tf101)
so I have read the ad hoc fix thread on the tf201 forum , which is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438297
I am ready to make the changes to suplicant and everything but wanted to know if this is fine for the tf101 also.
but, its also stated in the first post : "
IT HAS BEEN FIXED BY ASUS - 2.31.12
As of this day, the recent .21 OTA update gave us ad hoc functionality back natively!"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what does that mean?... its actually fixed?... what about tf101 guys?... all this is confusing me.
foxfi, mobile ap, wireless tether beta 3.0 all dont work for me... Im running a rooted froyo rom on my vibrant.
let me know what I should do, I have already rooted and put on revolution on my tf101 and am ready to try the suplicant fix.
thanks
For me, It was working with .21 without anything to do
Actually, I'm on Megatron 1.0.4 with guevor kernel 17c. Very stable, very fast and tethering works fine after the change of the supplicant.
It doesn't work actually with the megatron 1.1.1 and later
I hope it's help you
PS I have a tf 101 B80
I tried the suplicant fix and it worked for me
phew
