Is there a way to tether both GPS and 3G at the same time over wifi?
Most wifi tether apps disable system wifi so the GPS tethering apps can no longer be used.
I haven't found ANY apps that tether GPS data across the phone's WiFi. You? I wound up having to tether my GPS via USB cable and use WiFi for my laptop Internet connection.
See What I did.

I have an Android Honeycomb Tablet (Asus Transformer), which blocks ad-hoc WiFi connections. So, the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app won't help me for a WiFi connection. Barnacle also seems to do ad-hoc WiFi connections, so no help there.
But, I used to be able to do Bluetooth tethering to the tablet using the Wireless Tethering for Root Users app just fine from my MotoDroid. For some reason, I can't with my SamChg. After pairing the tablet with my SamChg and starting a Bluetooth wireless tether on the SamChg, the Tethering profile doesn't appear on the tablet (it did for the MotoDroid)
Is there a way to do Bluetooth Tethering with the SamChg?
Thanks,

Wireless Tether for root users isn't really ad-hoc. It sets your phone up as a wireless hub and supports multiple connections. So, I am not sure why the wifi is not working for you. I use it with my Xoom through wifi all the time and it is also running honeycomb.

Hi, Kornsaq - I just tried using WT4RU to connect to my laptop, and my SamChg showed up as a computer-computer ad-hoc network.
Are you doing anything special to get an infrastructure connection?

Hi guys,
installed wifi tether from google code.
it worked, however, noticed a couple things.
1. After turning off wifi tether, I'm still able to detect the adhoc wireless network. (Concerned about battery drain)
2. When having the wifi tether running, it isn't an access point, but an ad hoc network.
Anyone else having these issues? Known issues?
same here
I'm having the same issue basically. My laptop sees the "Androidtether" but it wont connect. It did the same thing with usb tethering too.
Installed Pdanet and it works off and on. I'm in a 4g city...frustrating that I can't get those sweet speeds over to my computer! haha
I am having same issue..anyone have any ideas? I wish it came up as a reg wireless connection instead of the ad hoc network....the stock wifi hotspot comes up correctly

Technically, the SamChg stock WiFi Hotspot is coming up incorrectly as an Infrastructure connection, and the android-wifi-tether app is coming up correctly as an "Ad-Hoc" connection.
It's just not "convenient" for us that the Google android-wifi-tether app only comes up in ad-hoc mode.
From Wikipedia: A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks.
Personally, I can't think of anything more "decentralized" than a mobile phone.
As far as I know, the latest version found here (3.0-pre14) works, and it has infrastructure mode. Just use the Samsung Fascinate option when setting (Device-Profile) it up and it should work.
wow thanks..that worked beautifully...appreciate it
When I activate tethering (via WIFI or USB) using Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot, I lose the "3G" icon in my notification bar.
My laptop receives an IP address from the phone but no DNS routing. My phone is unable to receive data of any kind, including Google Voice messages.
This seems like a communication issue between my phone and Sprint when tethering is active. Did I miss a firmware or radio upgrade somewhere?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 on my Nexus S 4G. Baseband D720SPRKE1.
you shouldn't lose 3g...you will lose your 4g, but 3g should stay active. you can try pda net, barnacle, and easy tether if you'd like another solution (fyi, for ns4g, pda net's usb tether will allow a 4g connection )
*edit*
noticed you're running CM7...it may be a bug with that rom, and installing a 3rd party tether app should solve it for you
running ics. i went ahead and disabled TetheringProvision.apk. i am able to turn on wifi hotspot through Widgetsoid. The signal is broadcasted but my pc is unable to connect. i have tried multiple other apps such as foxfi or pdanet+ but they also broadcast and i cannot connect. i have a rooted phone and can go ahead and use wifi tether but i would love to use the built in t mobile hotspot app through widgetsoid's wifi widget.
also, i am able to usb tether. BUT I WANT WIFI HOTSPOT!
NVM. ended up using http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1001732-solved-laptop-will-not-connect.html and just did some security key changing...and it worked!
So I have a new Razr HD and I've rooted it and done the hotspot hack but when I connected my computer to the phone to use the internet it drops my data for 5 seconds. Once it comes back as soon as the 4G LTE symbol turns blue it will drop again and it repeats this until I disable wifi on my computer. Wifi tether and USB tether all have the same results as the hotspot app. Does anyone know what could be causing this or what I can do to fix this. I have 5 bars and it NEVER drops unless I've connected a computer to it. I have unlimited data and it's an employee account (relative) so I really don't see what the hell is the issue.

I'm using PDANET+ for USB tethering and it works perfect, and wifi tether Trevor mod for wireless tethering. No more throttled tethering. No more disconnects. The factory hotspot/tethering still drops my 4G.
