I use Barnacle Wifi tether from the market. Free and easy to use.

G1 connecting to another G1 tether?

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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
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"

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?

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...

Use phone as USB wifi card

Anyone know of an app that allows you to use your phone as a wifi card via USB? I don't have one for my laptop and i need to get on my LAN for some file transfers.
Sent from my CricKet Ascend, Icarus Mod 1.0
iam also looking for something like this... just like tethering but instead of mobile data use some wlan
PDANet allows you to share the Wifi connection of your phone through USB.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
This function is built in in desire HD and desire, just turn on wifi, connect to your wlan network, plug inn your phone and select share network connection (or something like that). Remember to turn off your 3g connection, or your phone will use that to connect your pc to internet
Well i started using wireless tether and creating a Bluetooth PAN and connecting to my LAN that way. Pdanet does work but i don't want to pay for access to secure https websites

[Q] solved - connect with wifi dongle to pc internet connection

how can i do that? thx
Do you mean you want your phone to share its internet via wifi tethering?
Sent from my SNES
no, i mean access internet from pc, via wireless usb dongle
Might want to be a bit more specific there. From what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to do what bedalus said.
If what you mean is that you want to access your wired internet service wirelessly to your phone, you're going to need to pick up a wireless router or something.

The second part is true, i want to access the wired internet service and i have an wireless usb dongle(adaptor), also i want to share files with pc wireless.
What PS do u have? With Windows 7 you can create an ad-hoc under network sharing center -> set Up a Connection or Network -> Set up a wireless ad hockey (computer-to-computer) network. Then you can just follow the instructions on the pc

i created an adhoc connection, but the phone don't see it, also i read that that nexus s cannot do adhoc connections, it is true?

Yes you are right. Nexus s does not support ad hoc. I am sorry, I did not know that. This is weird even iDevices support it.
You can try ZT180 adhoc switcher from the market. But I cannot guarantee it will work. Because I have not tried it by myself.
Another option is using Connectify from windows 7 PC. I don't know about apple PCs. But connectify can turn your windows 7 PC into a real access point router. Not just a ad-hoc.
Well the last option is get a wifi router. What internet do you use? I am sure you can have a wifi router for all internet connections. NO matter you have ADSL, Broadband(Ethernet? I don't really know how to call it) even 3g or 4g connection can be wifi-routered! You just need to pick a correct device since NS does not support ad-hoc.

I found connectify and it works great. Thank you!
That is great! Enjoy your nexus s!

Under "Password" field in Connectify , you have an option "Internet". There you can select your internet connection to share. Hope that works!
I mean i select the win7 default connection " Local Area Connection", and set it to shared, but the Connectify connection (access point) doesn't have network access, i don't know why, i tried almost 10 times, it just doesn't work.

Update: I think i solved it, i just turn off the firewall of ESET and windows, and it works fine, thank u guys

Use vnc on bluetooth

Hi,
Is it possible to use vnc with the bluetooth ?
I want see my phone display on my android tablet ...
Because I haven't modem option, and so no internet on my tablet...
Thx you
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You can vnc with Wifi Direct if both support it, or connect with wifi hotspot (even if no modem) then use IP address and proper app to vnc.
As far as I know not with bluetooth, I may be wrong though.

WiFi direct don't work on my tablet... And haven't hotspot here...

"Even if no modem"
Meaning you don't need an internet connection/mobile data to do it, just wifi hotspot off of your nexus and connect with your TF. Wifi-direct should be working with latest ota or any aosp rom too.
Edit: Also try droidmote app. (does cost a bit of money, only if you can't get direct connect working)

Xoom connection to ad-hoc network

I have a Xoom (Wifi Only) with ICS 4.0.4 and a xperia x8 with the default rom from sony.
I installed bernacle wifi tether in the X8, and I set it up.
I tryied to connecto to this ad-hoc from my xoom but I couldn't. I tryied all the wpa_supplicant files I found googling.
Wifi analyzer sees the ad-hoc but when I try to connect it says that ad-hoc is not jet supported in android.
Any Ideas?
Best regards

I need to use barnacle as well because im on Verizon.....and the answer that I've gotten is that were probably never going to get ad hoc support.

Dyelon, I'm new to tablets, I think I'm missing something.
My Xoom is Wifi Only (no carrier lock). My xperia X8 is locked for Clarot (Telmex). When I tether on the X8 my laptot sees the ad-hoc network, Wifi Analyzer (on the Xoom) also sees the ad-hoc network (and when you try to connect to it Wifi Alayzer says that ad-hoc networks are not supported by android), but I cannot connect to it (Android doesn't see it)
