Running heinz 57 rom on cell south showcase. Whenever I turn on hot spot, I lose my data connection. Devices are able to connect to my phone no problem, but obviously internet not working for those devices.
Wireless tether works fine, but it is only for one device and uses wep instead of wpa.
Anyone had any success with this?

I have same rom and phone and mine does this also. But wireless tether does work so no biggie.

Yeah, was just hoping to get better encryption and ability to let more than one person connect.

Hey everyone,
I used VisionARY to temp root my G2 and I'm trying to use Barnacle for hot spot tethering. It has super user access and says its running but my network doesn't show up in my iPad or anywhere else. I'm using a 5 key WEP. I've tried using different channels. Any ideas why?

I tried several configurations on Barnacle connecting from Win7 and never had any luck. I finally downloaded Wifi Tether from here (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk):

Initially that didn't work either until I turned on WPA on Wifi Tether and then Win7 connected to it without any complaints.
Hope that helps.
Kevin
That worked. Its running perfect even without WPA. Thank you!

Have a new problem now. My iPad picks up and drops my network over and over every second or two. A friend of mine has a Hero using the same tethering app with no issues. Any ideas why?

I am using the leaked version of 2.2 and have no problem connecting my laptop and netbook to the Mobile AP. Sometimes it takes awhile for the icon in the start menu to show "Internet Access".
Mine works great. Both usb tether and wifi ap. On rogers 3g

MobileAP doesn't work for me either, it takes a long time to connect and when it does it says limited connectivity and of course nothing works. I tried all of the tethering apps form the market, nothing works for some reason.
Maybe it has something to do with the android version? I am running 2.2

Maybe mine is not working b/c I am using a fido apn on a locked rogers phone?

Nothing to do with the version you're running or the apn settings, as long as you have data mobile ap should work.
After rooting using z4root and wifi tethering using barnacle I re-rooted my phone and rebooted. Afterwards I was able to use the stock wireless modem (settings-> wireless and networks-> wireless modem). Is this normal? I could not use this feature prior to rooting so it seems strange that I can after re-rooting. I am slightly concerned that using this stock feature sends a signal to USCC that I am tethering. However, I don't like to leave my phone in root status (paranoid) so not needing to root prior to tethering is appealing.
This is my first post, so if there is any info I am leaving out please let me know and I will provide it.
Thanks for the awesome forum!

I am using a data counter to make sure I stay under the 5GB limit. After tethering using the stock modem this now has a count of data transferred through tether. Using barnacle all data was counted in the cell category rather than the tether category. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm guessing noone has experienced this, 3g watchdog works great for me - does it really matter how it reports as long as you have an overall % of your limit?
Thanks for the reply.
It does matter how it reports if it reports to USCC that I am tethering and not paying for the service. I'm concerned that activating the stock wireless modem sends this signal. I don't know what information about my data usage is sent to them. I'm likely being overly paranoid. It seems probable that the only information they have is data usage and not whether data is used through tether.
Does anyone know what happens when someone purchases the tethering plan? Does USCC just send a signal to activate it, our is it programming that occurs in the store on their computers? I'm wondering if they just flip a switch to activate it once or if that switch is flipped ever time you use the wireless modem.
they only see your data usage as a whole. One member reported going over n got his overage cut on half by showing off his phone lol. He didnt get charge for tethering. just watch your usage you'll be fine.
I've been using the wireless hotspot sparingly too with no issues
Swyped from my Mesmerize
what is our data limit isnt it 5gb?
Yeah, the monthly limit is 5GB
Martino, how long have you been using hotspot? Do you use it simply by going to Settings-> Wireless and Networks-> Wireless Modem or are you using a different app? How much data transfer qualifies as "sparingly"?
If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. Can't figure what to search for to find it.
I have a multi-story house and one wifi access point simply doesn't cover it all. I've wired up one for upstairs and one for downstairs. One of the two has DHCP enabled. Both have identical SSIDs and security. I do not know to change BSSIDs (some kinda hidden SSID?) Have tried setting both to same channel and to different channels - currently on 7 and 11.
My charge will not automatically switch between them. Under EE4 I could turn off wireless and when I turned it back on it'd connect to the stronger signal. Under all the gingerbread builds it connects to one and even after turning wireless on and off it connects to the original one. Under GB I can only switch between them using Wiifi Analyzer's connect feature. Under GB I've taken to setting up the SSIDs to different values so I can at least manually switch between them in settings. This is a royal pain as I walk between the two floors all the time.
What am I doing wrong? Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Instead of multiple routers, try using wireless repeaters or extenders. A repeater picks up a wifi signal and rebroadcasts it for better reception. A network extender has an ethernet port that connects to your router and makes an access point without making a new network.

I prefer dd wrt routers using WDS. There are lots of resources about this. Or just buy a some access points. I find that repeaters have interference issues.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Well, actually my second router is currently setup in firmware to be an access point.
Have either of you guys observed a Charge w/ GB actually handing off correctly? If so, at least I'd know that it's my setup.

A repeater is the best solution? The upstairs location just barely picks up the wifi from downstairs. Seems like you'd lose a lot of thruput that way.

Tried the app "Wifi Manager"? It might help you. There a bunch others. I would try them all out to see if they help your situation.
WiFi Jumper fixed this problem for me. Well worth the money.

Seems like a nifty utility. Easier than setting up WDS, but I still think that WDS is the bees knees when it comes to having rock-solid wifi everywhere you want.
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason
Have you tried open garden ? On the market

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections
Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

I do that and it connects, but I get no internet. The bars never change colors showing there is an active internet connection...

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).
