So my cousin has unlimited data plan and he enables his wifi tethering but it doesn't pull up on the list when my phone is scanning so I load up my atrix and it shows up on that... Kinda messed up if you ask me.
Any ideas of how to fix that issue?

Not sure if it is the same issue but I had the same problem with the galaxy tab. I for found the fix in the galaxy tab forum here on xda. It involved replacing 1 file and worked great after that. Search for "ad hoc" on xda and you will find it.

Tethering Android devices to adhoc mode access points (like other phones) is always a problem. There are usually ways around it, but they seem to be device-specific. In my case I ended up needing to edit a couple of config files, I'm not using an Incredible though.
Ok. I'm just learning how to tether. I'm kinda a noob on that subject. What does advoc stand for. Also how can I tether to my computer so that I am using my phone for internet. I have a desktop not wireless. I have installed PDA once and I used it to text. But now I tarried to install it again but it will not let me....

Has anyone else gotten a message that this will be blocked if the service isnt added???
And if anyone can explain how this is something different that can be charged for if it is a feature of the phone... Using the same unlimited data...

Not sure about that, but if you want wifi tethering, look up barnacle wifi tether in the market.

You want this.

If it keeps up, go to your apn settings and create a new one with the apn internet2.voicestream.com and you should be able to bypass the tethering message. If you keep it by default, mms will fail with that apn. You should be able to set the epc apn for mms only and the other for internet. something like that.
You can also try internet3.voicestream.com also. Speeds vary for the two apn's based on my experience.

Yes, Tmobile has an additional package you must purchase to use tethering and hotspot. 15 and 10 per month, respectively.

I've used Open Garden and never gotten a message, but you can also use USB tethering and avoid any greediness from Tmobile.
Thabks for all thw suggestions everyone. I am currently trying the open garden one.

I would only see this when using Internet explorer. Use google chrome and you shouldn't have a problem.

Two tmobile phones using 5gb data/ month each for over 7 months, 4gb a month from computer using mobile AP....haven't had a warning yet. I read on another thread a long time ago that people where or where not getting notices depending on their type of data use....file sharing etc...not sure if that holds true all of the time though.

My sisters phone slows down after awile, and she uses netflix for about an hour, she gets a warning but we are no where even close to 5gb download.
I just got the T-mobile $30 5GB "unlimited"/ 100 minute prepaid voice plan.
In a short test the built in wifi hotspot feature in the stock Gingerbread Settings tab seems to work. T-mobile does not offer any add-ons for tethering on this plan.
Is it safe to use this built in feature, or should I be looking for some other app (open garden?) to do this?
nope this is what my dad uses and works great. if you have problems with it then get an alternative wifi tether.
clockworkmod tether is still in beta but I have it on my phone and it works great. google it. the software package you install on your pc installs the apk on your phone.
Me and my wife have been using the mobile AP for over a year and we just upgraded to ginger bread and now when we use it we get a message telling us we have to upgrade our plan and then next time we try to use it the Web will not work it just sends you to Tmobile. We tried downloading pda net from the market but you still can't go to sights that require passwords. It would be nice to find a way around this.

I actually got that message twice (on stock, never since running custom ROMs), but they never followed through. Of course I don't use my phones data for my laptop often, only on rare occasion and usually not for more than a few minutes.

Tmobile can kiss my rear end on this one, they certainly did NOT have a tethering plan when I purchased the phone and its rediculouse to try to charge me now for a feature that was on the phone and free for the longest time now

As does PDANet, I've been using that since my Treo 650 and the paid version is worth every penny.

I searched but could not find the answer. What file are needed for WiFi? Can I copy ones from a JVQ rom to a JVT rom? My wifi keeps dropping out on Juwe's Smart Edition rom that I using Hellraiser 1.0 on.
Does it get stuck on "obtaining IP address?"

No, it just randomy goes off. Its not my router. I think it has something to do with the rom I was trying to port. DlevROM wifi works great, so does this one if it stays on. Went off three times since I started typing this. I wonder if my data can shut of my wifi? I tried the wifi fixer from market , but no sucess.

I already tried the wifi fixing apps. No luck. I know its related to Juwe's Rom because it does not happen on DlevRom.
Help? I know it has something to do with dhcpcd and the wifi folder,kernel and probably something else, but I can't figure it out.

Anyone with some knowledge about wifi please help. Need guidance.
So i called samsung about this issue today because this is the 2nd infuse with same wifi issues and both were stock. This one now is rooted with dlev rom. Still same issue. I refer people to call samsung everyday for this issue when they call in. Samsung emailed me the shipping label to send via ups to the repair place. 5 to 7 days for them to fix it he said. Dont let anyone say its your router. Its not its the wifi chip in the phone.

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

I understood, he's looking for an app or something to route an existing wifi connection through his phone via i'm assuming Bluetooth or usb to his computer.

Okay guys, I have a new one for you.
I live on campus with no possibility to have my own network because the school won't allow us to have anything else than their network..
This is one major problem because my PS3 won't connect to that network, is there any way I can use my phone (i9505, rooted) or anything else to make a "fake" network out of the eduroam-network to connect my PS3 to? Any help is appreciated
