I have 2 G1's both are running cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1. One has a data plan, and the other does not, is there any way to connect the non-data G1 to the other through wifi tether? Every time I try, it just doesn't show up as an availiable network to connect.
Ask Google about enabling ad-hoc mode. Or you could tether through Bluetooth PAN:

I didn't try this, but both approaches should work.
Do you have some knowledge on unix systems?
I do remember hearing about Android not being able to connect to any ad-hoc wifi. I am not aware of anyone being able to do it.

Then now you are ;-) Many people use ad-hoc mode, there are plenty of howtos in the internet.
I've done it before... I use the WiFi tethering app available through Google Code. The project is Android-WiFi-Tether (sorry, I'm too new to post links). I don't know what app you are using to tether, but check the settings to see if it's got the SSID hidden.
but have you been able to use wifi tether to share the phone's connection with another Android phone? I've never had to, but I do remember hearing about problems with it. Then again it was a while ago and things could have very well changed.

Yes, I have been using that exact version of wifi tether. Iphone, samsung, and blackberry phone can connect, but no matter what I try I just can't get the g1 to even see the connection. I have changed the ssid, enabled WEP encryption, and even changed the channels to no avail............I guess it just wasn't ment to be LOL. I can't even connect using the bluetooth PAN option either
Ehh... again, from the beginning...
It is possible to use both ad-hoc and BT PAN on G1, but they are not supported officially, so you must do some hacking. Wireless Tether for Root does it for you, but it can start server only, not connect to existing networks and I don't know whether there is an app which simplify that second task.
You could try to find some app or howtos about doing it manually - through hacking. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of them in the internet.
Finally...
I would like to thank everyone for the help, I finally got it done, I just had to edit some settings using the terminal. If there is anyone else out there wanting to do the same as me, just search for ...How to connect to Ad Hoc networks using Tmobile G1 Android at hydtechblog"dot com"
Newest CM (5.0.7) sees and connects my Ad-Hoc network normally! :-D

yet another reason to get the nexus one, but then again mine does now too LOL
So the client phone can be hacked to be able to recognize and connect to ad-hoc, but this generally requires root access....... correct?
I have been unsuccessful at getting my wife's non-rooted Eris to my rooted Droid.

Yeah, exactly
Also there are patches floating around to add ad-hoc support (to connect to them like to normal AP networks), so maybe some roms have it, but most (all?) of devices just can't use ad-hoc on original rom.
I would have just used wired tether...
Never had a problem with ANY android device I've connected to my g1.
I just like to keep things simplistic in specific situations...

Had been using aNetShare on my rooted HTC Hero to setup wifi hotspots and has worked fine with laptops etc.. but seems the transformer cant see it - I guess its because its an ad-hoc network and not supported ?
Just wondering if anyone can recommend an app I can run off my phone that does work using somthing other than an ad-hoc network - or is this not possible ?
Many Thanks !!!
This prob wont help but the personal wifi hotspot option in android 2.2 works fine but android tether or barnicle don't seem to work.
Doesn't PdaNet support bluetooth tethering? Is that an option for tethering the Transformer?
Hello!
I recently moved away to a new home and I don't have a wifi router at this time and don't actually need one for just my G3. But still want to try whether any alternative is possible. I stumbled upon what a trick called "AdHoc" but according to the guide, android nativly doesn't support Adhoc (or something like that).
So I am looking for a way to make it work OR any other way to get wifi on my phone. Probably something like reverse tethering.
Thanks!!!
EDIT :: I am also tried using adhoc for myself but, the phone gets stuck on "authenticating" .
So you want to tether your phone to your computer?
I use a program for Connectify to make my own private hotspot using whatever wired connection my laptop has. Its entirely free though probably not the most lightweight or "hack-y" way of doing it.
We had a guide for tethering your PC internet for froyo in which we had to replace WPA supplicant file but it's of no use to you (cm 7)
I myself had tried adhoc of Microsoft but it is way too difficult to configure
You did not mention anything about your PC
If it is from Dell you get a program known as peer net with which you can get wifi in your home. This works with our galaxy 3
Also I think cm7 supports Adhoc as the program mentioned above works flawlessly with it
If it is true then try connectify, virtual router and other programs
If you succeed in configuring wifi be prepared to use the slowest internet speed possible

Android based mobile phone &tablet do not see mobile phone as a router wifi network
hi
i have an older htc touch pro 2 mobile phone that i use an app that makes it into a wireless router...the app is xda-wifi-sharing and it works great been using it for years now....
my laptop sees the wifi connection fine and connects and i do this pretty much every day.....but for some reason my android based tablet and android based phone both do not see the wifi network
i beleive the wifi network via my mobile phone is 802.11 ad hoc
can anyone help me enable my android tablet to see my wifi that i set up via my mobile phone as a router
thanks
I can connect to it but windows tells me no internet
Been using it since day one with no issues.
Use troubleshoot network problems on your pc it might fix the issue
