The Wifi Tether for root users creates an Ad-Hoc network. Android devices (your tablet) cannot connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
The built in wifi tethering (when the hardware supports it) creates an infrastructure network - which any android device can connect to.

Will this phone work to tether to my g tablet?
what do I have to do?
Yes but it depends how you go about it. 1.) Pay att a monthly tether fee or 2.)Root the phone and runn wifi tether
So this phone can be rooted? My old backflip couldn't.

I just Googled "root backflip" and Google seems to think differently, though I've never had one so I can't speak first hand.
There are threads in the Development section and a video somewhere in this section that will show you how to get root on the Inspire.
If your g tablet is anything like my galaxy tab u either need to root using the hack kit and that will enable the HTC WiFi hotspot app or if u wanna use the WiFi tether app that Google made u need to set up your g tablet so it can recognize an ad hoc connection.

Has anyone managed to get one of these telechip tablets to connect to an adhoc wifi hotspot yet?
I have a sony erricson xperia x10 mini pro (rooted) which I use as a hotspot via barnacle. Works great with the laptop, but would like to use it with this tablet, unlimited data plan on my phone is much cheaper than the 3g dongle...
Been searching the forums but can' t seem to find anyone who has got it to work on one of these yet.
Same goes for the camera in skype, got the video calling to work but my camera won't record or transmitt anything no-one can see me LOL!
Got clockwork mod installed and can help testing stuff.

Even got Skype video working great on this phone, saves me a fortune on long distance while overseas...

Is there a way to connect to an ibss network (i believe its also referred to as adhoc) built in wifi settings wont even detect it so i used some of my data to download wifi manager, the adhoc network pops up now but it tells me "standard android does not support ibss(ad-hoc) type networks"
is there anything i can install or flash onto my phone to allow connection?
im on vacation and its either pay $20 for hotel wifi, use my 200mb data plan (already at 117mb and it gets refreshed at the 12th of every month...so i still have month to go with only 83mb left ), or use my cousins hotspot which happens to be ibss/adhoc-he has an optimus v that is rooted but no custom rom
Under settings I Of wifi manager ive found this..."treat ibss network as working (cyanogen mod, rooted_wpa supplicant)" so i either need cyanogenmod-(no way i can download that rom with my data plan and dont even kniw if a port of it would work the same) or a rooted_wpa supplicant
Can anyone provide a rooted_wpa supplicant file that is compatible withthe infuse?

OH.... sorry. Woops. I missed that part. My apologies. I personally have never had luck making a wifi network that was able to connect with other people's Androids. I rememberd that I had it open, he could see if on his HTC inspire, but it just wouldn't go... So yeah. I don't know... I read a lot about Android, never really ever seen anyone post about this problem, nor have I ever seen any sort of solution.. guess that you will just have to norp it up on the same phone or something.. lol.

Hello I was wondering this tablet can connect to ad hoc tethering yet? Is there a wpa supplicant file someone could point me to because I couldn't find anything while searching. Thank you.

Easy solution, to which no root is needed, is to install FoxFi on your phone. They removed it from marketplace. Just Google for the apk. Install it on your phone. Then install the add on that's in the marketplace. Works flawlessly for me. I had same issue where newer ICS and JB builds on my nexus 7 and note 10.1 wouldn't recognize the old wifi tether app, which used ad hoc tethering and needed root on phones. I've used Foxfi on my old Atrix phone and worked. Tablet picked it right up. Now I have my new Samsung Galaxy S3, which is completely stock. Installed foxfi on that also. Now I can tether my 4g LTE speeds to all my tablets with no issue. No root was needed on phone. App works great on stock phone. Its likely your phone is supported if its a decent/popular android phone.
I don't thinknthe supplicant file method will work on the note. I know I tried it on ly nexus 7 and didn't work. FoxFi solved everything
Supported stock no root.I use my tab more 10.1 connected to cell all the time.
Supported out of box

I think its more so, what particular app people are using to make the ad hoc tethering connection attempt. As people have been reporting not being able to connect. I know, on my older rooted atrix, the tablet wouldn't see the connection using the old tried and proven Wireless tethering app. FoxFi solved the issue for me. I think people that have paid hotspots feature on their phone can get it to work out the box(may be wrong). But alot of others, not just this tablet alone(prime, nexus 7, etc..) have had issues getting ad hoc tethering to work since newer builds of ICS. On prime, we used an alternate wifi supplicant file to get it to work. But later updates caused that to not even work anymore.

Funny you mention that. As I have the old unlimited data plan on VZW I had to spring for the additional hotspot charge to tether my S3. Worked great for a couple weeks then stopped. "Saw" the phone but couldn't lock on an IP. Before the last update. Both phone and tab were rooted stock at the time. Staff at VZW shop had no idea why. Figured I'd ask to not give any cause to jeopardize my plan. That said, FoxFi works great!
Weird.
confirmed working for me..
Foxfi running on papasmuffs CM9 HTC EVO build..
using 'Pdanet Tablet' on the Asus Transformer stock rooted .27
Thanks for the thread as was going nuts playing with the old tether program..

Only other thing I can think of is to try using the wireless tethering app. But instead of wifi, choose Bluetooth tethering in options. Its not as fast as wifi but still good for normal usage. Any connection is better than none I was using Bluetooth tethering for a while until I found solution.
Hello there,
I'm pulling this post back from the depth of the forum to ask if there is any news on this front... Foxfi is not working on my phone (motorola Defy), and neither is Wifi Tether. Bluetooth tethering (via PDAnet for example) works but is extremely slow...
Would you have a suggestion either for an android wifi tethering program that supports interface mode, or about a way to add support for ad-hoc wifi in the note 10.1 ?
Many thanks.
I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
