Able to wifi tether to apple devices, but no luck with laptops or android devices. " does support ad hoc network" What wifi tether programs are others using? Thanks
wifi tether works. i used it this past weekend for 2 days.
if youre already rooted, you can just use native tethering. just delete tethermanager from /system/app no need for barnacle of wifi tether for root.

What does this mean? I downloaded wifi tether and then uninstalled it, but would like to be able to tether my tablet when we are on vacation. I am rooted.
android has the ability to tether out of the box.
carriers disable that and charge like $20 extra if you wanna be able to tether.
if you use titanium backup and freeze tethermanager.apk (or whatever it is called) you get the ability to wifi tether again without messing with any other third party apps.
look for it in /system/app and once you freeze it delete it or whatever you want to do with it, go to settings > wireless and network > mobile ap. if tether manager is gone you are able to use this native mode already on your phone to tether all you like. i would steer clear of apps like pdanet and tether for root, as usage of these apps appears to be sent back to att by tethermanager.
Is the built in tethering part of AT&Ts "bloatware"? I may have deleted it using Titanium Backup.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks in advance.
Thx it worked for me . I installed busy box as root user , then installed titaniumbackup . i went to backup restore tab. Froze tether manager then uninstalled tether manager and it works flawlessly now . Thx forums
Samsung infuse 4G
Yes!
It's these kinds threads that make me want to buy you guys a beer! As a new android user, I know very little, but when I ignore the haters/trolls/ignorant people, and smart asses, I find gems like this. To think I almost paid for it because of the salesman insisting that tethering through AT&T was the ONLY way. Thanks a bunch to all you guys who give back.
Thanks! Worked like charm. AT&T go kick rocks!
Mobile AP warning message
I am running Infused 1.5 on my phone. So from what I am reading in several tethering threads, I am able to use the native app for tethering. When I use MobileAP, the original warning message is still there "A Tethering/Mobile Hotspot plan is required...."
Sorry if this is a noob question, but is this message not supposed to be there anymore? or did I do something wrong?
yes you should not be getting that message. check to see if tethermanager is still in /system/app.

I was just about to post a similar question Im also on infused 1.5 and just tried the tethering, the message your talking about is the one at the top of the screen that doesn't go away that says "Tethering/Mobile hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please ect...." the one I was getting before I installed. The infused 1.5 I would click on the mobile AP box to turn on the tethering and a message saying I didn't have the service would pop up and turn off the tethering but that doesn't happen anymore I also just checked my plan features and tethering does not show up. I remember reading one of the features of the infused 1.5 was tethering but I didn't know how it worked until I read this thread. Thank you guys
But if I'm running Infused, why woukd that file still exist?
So you think I would be ok ignoring the message?

Yes, also called wifi tethering or mobile access point. You can enable this in wireless settings if you pay extra for a tethering plan or remove tether manager.

Okay wait, so just freezing tethermanager wont work. I'd have to uninstall it to tether? I'm running stock rooted btw
i still dont know what freezing means, but it doesnt sound very guaranteed. tethermanager is malicious at best so i just completely delete it, theres no advantage to keeping it around.
Greetings.
I have searched the forums, and have not found what I was looking for so I am going to ask nicely here.
1. I have just rooted a friends Inspire. Shipped with GB
2. In searching, I can not find any (or minimal) reference to the android wifi tethering app, and I am wondering
A)if anyone uses it, and
B) if so, what settings are used to make it work.
I appreciate your time in reading this post, and thank you in advance for your relevant answers.
thats because the wifi settings will be unique to each person ie channel, encryption, passkey etc.
The tethering needs to be activated and the PC with you want to tether has to be accepted in the cel. The app gives you a password you need to use in the PC...when you try to connect the phone will prompt that device is requering permission to connect. That simple. If you cannot make to work with the hot spot app, you can use Koush's Tether app in the market.
Thanks for the replies,
I was just curious as some devices require tweaking in the settings of google's wifi tether, and didn't know if the inspire worked on the default settings....

I actually had never tethered before yesterday....and it was just for curiosity, but worked great, and didn´t tweaked anything at all. By the way, I am using Coredroid V9.2 that has a default app.
I had to enable "routing fix" in the settings of the google tethering app.
Hey guys, my rooted P6210 seems to have a Google market connection issue. It seems to have happened overnight, it was fine for weeks..and i didn't notice it until i tried to use the market to add a paid app. I get a great wi-fi connection in my home and can browse the internet with no problem but the g-market can't connect and it simply retries. I have deleted the accounts on the device to no avail Any suggestions will help.
Were you able to recreate the accounts successfully?
Try these things:
1. Clear market data
2. re-setup market accounts
3. make sure the date and time on the tab is correct
I discovered mine had reset to the year 2000 after the battery went completely dead. With an incorrect clock, certificate negotiations will fail.

Also, have you tried a different wifi network? Its a long shot but I suppose the port that the market uses could be blocked

I swear i am not the Geico caveman
Wow, problem solved. I had no idea the date or time had changed because of a charge issue. My brain tells me since the device has an active connection to the internet it would do this all by itself and i never check the tab for those purposes. Now all i need to do is get which exact files to flash using Odin so i can go back to 100% stock. I have searched and found the files but no ((really clear)) directions on which files get flashed. There are 3 all together. Hey you guys made my day..really.
hello, everyone!
my bad if this post is misplaced but couldn't really find a good answer to my specific problem.
basically, i lost my sgs3 today. it had no security apps like android lost, lookout etc. installed and neither wifi nor mobile data were on. have installed from my desktop android lost, but since the phone has no internet connection i don't see how this app can ever be pushed onto the phone.
so basically, my question is if there is anything to be done here? perhaps any code or instruction sent by sms that would trigger the mobile data on!!! i don't suppose so!
anyway, whatever you might think of, i'd appreciate any help!
i'll call the gsm provider at some point to deactivate the sim, unless i can find a way first to locate the phone using their network signal.
many thanks!
Hi, quick (strange) question. How can I disable the wifi on my son's OnePlus One so that he cannot connect to wifi networks even if he tries?
I have disabled cellular data through T-Mobile but he can still connect to the schools wifi and he gets distracted during classes as a result....
One is currently running stock cyanogen OS build MHC19Q but will root again if needed.
Can I just remove a system app for wifi with titanium backup to meet my goal?? Then reinstall it later as needed?
Thanks in advance for any help, apologies for noobish question....

I believe u can restrict the wifi on the mobile which u dont want to use. Try for the option in wifi settings
Installing a very early version of a kernel (if available) might be an option.
How cruel!
Maybe you just need to restrict the use of the phone. If your son works out how to use TWRP then re-enabling WiFi will not be a problem.
Why not get a cheap dumbphone that can only do calls and texts?
On CM13 at least you can lock apps so that you need to enter a password to open it, don't know if oxygenOS has a similar feature. There's plenty of apps on the play store with the same feature. You could just password lock all the apps that are distracting him during class
This might be something useful:

Smart AppLock 2 is one of the most widely used App locker for Android. Justifying its name, the Smart AppLock does the work of protecting your apps very smartly.
It can easily lock apps containing privacy content, such as your photos, videos(Gallery), SMS, call logs etc. Also, it can be used to lock incoming calls, Wifi and Bluetooth toggle switch and much more. Users can also lock system settings, installing and uninstall of apps to keep phone away from being messed up by others or kids.
