Hi
Are there any Roms for the G-Tab which has the mobile network functionality left in?
I am trying to test 3g on G-Tablet.
any thanks
Ian
The G tablet doesn't have a cellular radio. Only wifi and bluetooth.
Tether to a rooted phone or a phone that has wifi hotspot feature.

I think he's referring to a 3g usb adapter.
Hi
Should have made that clear, apologies for the confusion, i am indeed talking about a 3g usb modem.

I know that generally Android does not like connect to ad-hoc wifi but was hoping against hope that someone with an Eee Pad can check if that is still the case?
I'm definitely getting one once i can get my molesty hands on some stock somewhere, but when out and about, my trusty Treo Pro only creates an ad-hoc wifi network via wmwifirouter (works excellent with other portable wifi devices i have).
well, I'm using Barnacle with a rooted Atrix 4G and the transformer can't connect to the ad hoc network.
I can't connect my Transformer to my HTC Hero running an ad-hoc WiFi hotspot. However, it works fine over bluetooth....

Ah ha, at least bluetooth tethering works. At least that's an option i have. Thanks for checking guys.
Argh! Does this mean I can't use the 'Wifi Hotspot' app built into my phone (DHD) to share its 3G connection with my Transformer whilst I'm out and about?
Because I was kind of relying on that.
I may have to cancel my pre-order :-(

It's an Android issue in general, nothing specific to the Transformer specifically. The latest wifi tether for root users i think now does Infrastructure mode and also bluetooth tethers as well.

You can tether it through Bluetooth, which is better IMO. Every time I use Wifi Hotspot on my N1, I start having crashes and memory issues. I had rather use BT for this.

I don't know about that particular phone, but if the hotspot is infrastructure mode (like what is built into Froyo), the TF will be able to connect to it and use it. If it is Ad Hoc, then there will be trouble, Android in general does not support connecting to Ad Hoc (could have changed in Honeycomb now, I but I don't think so). I've used my TF with the Infrastructure hotspot on my Optimus phone, for example, it works fine. Figure out what kind of hotspot your phone does.

Do you need to be rooted on either/both devices to do that?

On Windows Mobile, use wmwifirouter and choose the bluetooth tethering option. See if that works.
Someone a few posts up mentioned that he's tethering his TF via bluetooth to his Android phone.
It definetely depends on the phone. wireless tether to my buddy's HTC Evo worked yet didnt with my HTC Hero. Luckily, the bluetooth does work exceptionally well so theres no worries!

I installed the trial of Wmwifirouter, but the bluetooth tether option is grayed out. Maybe a limitation of the trial?
I just can't believe that there isn't a better solution for this. Surely there is a utility or a workaround for those of us in tethering hell!!! GahhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would this be feasible on a honeycomb device?

has anyone tried to tether with the EVO?
I saw a patch for another tablet somewhere to enable ad-hoc wifi. it was a zip for cwm, but most definitely it was built for earlier android version. i'll look for it nonetheless and report back.

I have the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and the only time the hotspot will not share my internet connection is when I have 4G enabled. I thought maybe this was the case for you also.

I have an Ns4G also, does that to me also. Couple times I had to reboot phone cause after I would try to switch back to 3G and use the hotspot and it wouldn't connect. Don't know if it works when paying for hotspot from Sprint though.

Just got my Nexus S 4G, running it 100% stock and not sure if I will ever root/ROM it yet. I can tether fine using built-in Wifi hotspot. As we know, the tether kills 4G and forces 3G when active.
I only actually have 3G at my house, so I can't test any other methods, but I am wondering if any other tethering tools will allow 4G tether? For example, Barnacle wifi or PDAnet USB... tools I've used in the past on rooted phones. And if either of these methods does work for 4G tethering... is root required? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 4G available nearby and has tested these methods on rooted/unrooted phones.
Thanks!

Wifi tether for root users works, but it creates an ad-hoc network, so you can't connect with another android device. A laptop will be able to connect though

You can root and leave everything else stock. Rooting on this phone is trivial.
Non-root tether apps like Pdanet and EasyTether all run as regular apps on the phone. If running a normal app like Pandora preserves 4g status, then the 4g status should remain with those as well.
As for speed, you can look at a comparison that someone ran a few days ago across the popular USB tether apps:

using the same wireless tether app, but don't worry i figured out the answer. Most androids tether thru adhoc but for some reason the evo is different and uses infrastructure mode, thats why my xoom can't pick up the nexus s signal but it can from the evo.

That's not entirely correct. Most newer phones have the capability to create an infrastructure network. It was more hit or miss on older phones.
The built in hotspot app does create an infrastructure network on the Nexus S. The 3rd party wifi tethering app creates an ad-hoc network though on the Nexus S for some reason. Unfortunately the built in tethering doesn't utilize the wimax radio currently.
The hardware on the nexus s does support creating an infrastructure network though, so I don't know why the wifi tethering app is creating an ad-hoc network if it has the capability to do infrastructure.

Maybe shoot the dev an email. The hardware supports infrastructure and the AP can clearly do it. It may be a simple error in logic preventing the Nexus s from being detected as a device capable of infrastructure.

The movies app won't work on rooted devices. This is problematic if you use your tablet and the.movies app for renting movies.

If your actually looking for help you can start by giving some info for your phone. More than " its a motorola". List phone model, what software, if its rooted or not, are you running a custom rom, if your are what rom. These details are very important without them you will never get an answer.

my phone can make a ad hoc network just fine it only has problems making a wifi hotspot. it does not matter what teathing program you use. what does it matter what phone it is? but its a motorola electrify(rooted but it did the same thing stock). my firend has the same phone it does the same thing it makes a hotspot you connect it works for a few min then disconnects the phone says no 3g then after a few sec it reconnects. if you teather using ad hoc it works fine. i have connected the phone to a nook, ipad, ipod toch, and other android tablets always the same thing the only thing that works is ad hoc. so if i can not make the note connect to an ad hoc network i can not teather
I know I'm jumping the gun here. Because neither the download booster or the hotspot mod have been made for the galaxy S5 yet.
But I was wondering if this possibility is far fetched?? I do a lot of traveling and sometimes hotel wifi will not cut it.

I am far from an expert but I don't think the wifi could operate in AP mode and stil connect to another AP for extra d/l speed.

The reason I thought this would be possible was because of the MiMo(multi-input multi-output) capabilities of the S5. I know there are things that would pose an issue like not being able to be connected to WiFi while creating a hotspot.
But that's what the muti input side is for, taking in WiFi and LTE. It almost makes since to be able to send that combination speed out as hotspot.

It would be more like one ap with two aggregated backbone connections. Possible, yes. Doable on the phone, don't know but if the S5 still turns off wifi when you turn on hotshot that would be the trick.

So MiMo would theoretically allow the wifi chip to setup an AP and also be connected to seperate AP, and 3g/4g, to aggregate data? That would be awesome. I have tried bridging two wifi networks with one wifi card on desktops but have never been able to get more than one connection per wifi chip. Where AP mode would be its own connection.
:fingers crossed: maybe we can...

In theory I believe it should work. I could swear, I am 99% sure of this, that way back in the day you could wifi tether to your phone while it was connected to wifi. Might have been the S1 or S2. I am positive that worked because I remember testing the hotspot once and getting some crazy download speeds. This was when I only had 3G and could barely get 300k. And I was freaking out trying to figure out how it was going so fast. Then I realized the phone was connected to wifi:silly: So MiMo isn't needed for one singular stream. It's basically just doing incoming and outgoing traffic on the same feed. But adding in the LTE should work on MiMo. If LTE had it's own card, does it?, you shouldn't need MiMo either. You would just have to first get the aggregation working which I think somebody got it enabled right? And then disable the wifi from shutting off during hotspot. After that it would work without anything special.
Just wanted to give this thread a bump.
Has anyone heard anything about this idea working?
