[Q] Not able to connect to Motorola Xoom to HD2 WiFi hotspot.

I love my Motorola Xoom. It is almost a perfect device, but the only thing that is destroyng my pleasure is my not being able to connect to my phone's hot stop. I have downloaded "Mobile Wi-Fi Router from the OMarket. I am able to connect to my phone through my desktop PC, but MyXoom tablet is not able to find it. Please fellow Xoomers help me fix my problem.

I was having the same problem.
The old WiFi tethers broadcast in ad-hoc networks, which android can't see.
I downloaded the newest version of WiFi Tether and it can broadcast in infrastructure mode and my Xoom was able to connect to that.

Drains the battery on my Epic pretty quick though.

I check the post but I do not see a download for a HD2. Do you know how my phone might be able to work? Thank you.

I just used the v3.0 one and it works perfectly on HD2 - no problem connecting to WiFi hotspot

I downloaded the app on my HD2, but the app is not compatible. Is it possible you could walk me through? Thank you.

IIRC I just downloaded it and side-installed the apk as one would any standard application. I think you probably need to be rooted however. What rom are you running on your HD2?

I am running the original 6.5 windows mobile.

That explains things - the application is an Android app as denoted by the .apk extension and therefore won't install on WM 6.5.
I left WM roms far behind. As soon as Cotulla released his magldr and the first NAND Android rom (31/12/10) I've never used another WM rom. Just flash your HD2 to a NANDroid rom and problem solved. If you want to stick with WM though you will have to look for another solution that runs on WM.
I'm not sure that there are any WM WiFi solutions that use infrastructure mode as it seems they only work in ad-hoc mode. If you don't want to flash your phone then you will need to get the Xoom to recognise an ad-hoc connection. I have seen some posts on this forum of people trying to do this but AFAIK they haven't succeeded yet.

Same here. I bounced back and forth between WinMo and Android on my HD2 during the SD card months, but when Magldr came out I went green and never looked back. Still, while I was in WinMo I looked and looked for a ROM that could do infrastructure mode (for my PS3, Wii, etc.) and had no success. It has to be enabled at the driver-level, and it looks like the newer Android drivers for the wifi chip in the HD2 support infrastructure mode and the old WinMo drivers don't. To make matters more depressing, the drivers aren't open source (as far as I can find) they're only distributed as binary modules, so we can't easily tweak the driver to enable the mode in WinMo.
Short answer, while nothing is impossible - this may as well be. Welcome to Cyanogen Mod 7, my friend.

[Q] xoom can't connect hd2 wifi hotsopt

Try the earlier wifi tether version 2_0_7. I also had some issues with the newer experimental version, but this one works fine.

Exceedingly similar posts merged. Please search before starting a new post. Next time I'm simply deleting.

Ad-hoc WiFi connections now supported apparently - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314

The solution is upgrading to Windows Phone 7 which has WIFI that transmits in infrastructure mode or if someone here is kind enough to create a downloadable WM7 WIFI Reuter cab compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5.

[Q] Transformer and WiFi hotspot from mobile phone

Hi all knowing xda gurus,
I have a question for you: Is it possible to connect the Transformer and use the internet from a mobile phone?
I trying to use the WiFi Router application on my HTC HD2, to share the internet with my Transformer and I can't get them to see each other????
Any suggestions?

I can tell you that my Transformer connects perfectly to the mobile hotspots on both my HTC Desire and Galaxy Tab.
Does your WiFi Router application create a real hotspot, or is it an adhoc network? If it is adhoc, it probably won't work out of the box, and I think you'd need to be rooted in order to make the necessary changes.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I can't actually distinguish between the two (real hotspot vs adhoc network), but I did start a Desire HD rom on my HD2, then started the WiFi Hotspot app that comes with it.... and surprise, surprise it works....
Good catch and thanks this will have to do until I figure out what to do with the WinMobile WiFi router.

Hi there,
Does usb tethering work? Well, for sure, the native usb tethering won't work, because there are no drivers, but is there an app to make it work? (@HD2 with DHD Rom)

I don't know, there is no usb on the tablet only on the keyboard (which I don't have). As far as I can see in the Adnroid settings "usb tethering" is available though.
Hope this helps,

Hi Guys,
Did you work out the original problem with the Wi-Fi router on the HTC HD2 and the Asus Transformer, im using the exact same combo and they will not see eachother (Wi-Fi) No Wi-Fi at work cos of Security but now i dont have comms to my tablet
Thanx Guys

I achieved this by using the Wifi Tether application, it requires root on the phone (Android phone here, sorry). The biggest problem with mobile-to-wifi internet is that most applications will create ad-hoc Wifi networks, as opposed to hotspots. Transformer with stock software will not even see an ad-hoc network, I imagine this is your issue, too. There two options here:
1) if you want to root the Transformer, it is possible to make it see an ad-hoc version, but changing one of the configuration files.
2) you can use Bluetooth tether instead of Wifi, for most situations it will do the trick. No need to root the TF then.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074317&page=1 (it is about droids, but may help anyway).

I'm also using the Wifi Tether app that came with MDJ ROM for HD2 and it works great... too bad the small battery on the HD2

I havea motorola Atrix,i can tether using barnacle a rooted app, stock mobil hotspot, and through blue tooth. Havent had an issue yet.

Same problem here HD2 (WinMo6.5) + Transformer
I don't want root my transformer (yet)

You don't have to root your transformer to use a mobile hotspot (takinga 3g signal and converting it into a wi-fi router)
If you have any rooted Android phone, you just need to install either Baranacle, Wireless Tether, or Open Garden. All are root-only apps, and you sometimes have to try each to get it to work. At first only open garden worked, wireless tether/barancle didn't. It's very doable though.

You do have to root your transformer for barnacle.
Barnacle creates an ad-hoc connection which the transformer won't see without first rooting and replacing the wpa_supplicant file. Most wifi tether applications do the same thing.

I had the same issue until I tried the settings below. I have a EVO 4G so I don't know if the HD2 is anything like it but if it is then you can try these:
Go into setting
Go into wireless and networks
Go into Hotspot Settings
Go to Menu and click on Advanced
Select LAN settings
Click on DHCP
After that you should be able to connect. If not then your setup is different then mine and won't work. It's worth a try though.

not much helpfull I guess but works fine on my xperia arc stock rom unrooted android 2.3 so no need to use apps at all

[Q] Tethering Xoom to a TP2

Alright, So I just bought a US Wifi Xoom yesterday and got all the updates up to Android 3.2.. So far so good. Now I'm trying to tether it to my touch pro 2 (windows mobile 6.5). So the first obvious problem I came around was that the Xoom is not able to detect ad-hoc networks. I searched the forums and found that the only way around this was to root the xoom and change some files/settings not something that I am comfortable doing yet with android (I'm an android Noob). The other way around this would be to get the Touch Pro 2 to broadcast the SSID in infrastructure mode and I wasn't able to find any programs that were capable of doing that (I currently have Tom Codon's Wifi Sharing App and ICS Control 0.2.1) So I then went ahead and tried tethering via Bluetooth to find out that the Xoom only supports tethering to NAP devices and my Touch Pro 2 (as of now) is only able to set up a PAN.
Does anyone know of a way to tether these two things together preferable without rooting the Xoom?
If the only way for a Xoom to tether to a Windows Mobile 6.5 device is to root the Xoom, could someone provide me a link to a guide for Noobs rooting the Xoom (I did find the 1 Click app, however I wasn't able to download it.. it was a password protected file on mediafire.com) An app that rooted the device for me would be ideal.
Thanks in advance.

I'm using WMWifiRouter on my Win 6.5 phone (Omnia II - Verizon). You'll need to use the bluetooth tether option. It's not the fastest but it works.

+1 to Bluetooth tether on the wifi router app for Winmo. That would be the only way to do it without rooting the Xoom.
If you do root the Xoom (which is easier than you probably think) you can flash the zip file in my signature (via ClockworkMod recovery) to add ad-hoc connectivity to the Xoom.
This is the best guide for beginners IMHO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130996
Either way best of luck.

What version of WMwifirouter are you guys using? I know everything before 0.91 is free but I don't know if it supports bluetooth networking.

I use Android myself but a google search lead me to this post on PPC geeks.
"go to settings-connections-wifi-network adapters
then go to remote NDIS HOST
For Bluetooth. go to the "Bluetooth PAN Driver"
use the settings below for Bluetooth tethering to work:
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
gateway: leave blank"
Thought it might help if you find a version of wifirouter to use.

I'm assuming the settings-connections wifi network adapators remote ndis host is for the windows mobile phone? I'm done see where remote NDIS Host shows up.
As for the Bluetooth PAN Driver, I tried running the wm6btpan and when I execute it on the phone, I get Error 1062.

I have a TP2 and a Xoom.
I would suggest rooting, flashing CWR and then the ad_hoc enabling patch.
It is quite simple to do, follow the link someone posted above...

[Q] Internet via Nokia?

Hi, I have Asus Transformer and Nokia E6.
Is any way how share internet from Nokia to TF? I tried some applications like Joico but they can make only HotSpot but TF probably cannot connet to hotspot.
I tried also some hotspots clients for android but they cannot find Joico accesspoint :-(
Any help? Can I share internet via bluetooth, wi-fi or cable? I have Revolver ROM with support USB dongle modem and it works but using Nokia would be much easier for me.
Thanks.

joikuspot
I use JoikuSpot, it does pretty good job, sometimes i even gat 7.9mbps,if you didnt hack your phone there is the light version that can fully server your needs

I know this is an old thread, but I am only replying back in the sake of someone else having a similar problem.
Basically, the Asus Transformer and a lot of other Android Tablets don't support ad-hoc connections out-of-box. The Joiku creates ad-hoc connections and the only way to connect to it with an android tablet is if the wpasupplicant file is modified so that it will work with ad-hoc.
There are numerous guides out there. A simple search of "ad-hoc android tablet" will give you some great results.

Problem with Android Jellybean Tablet and my Sprint HTC EVO Shift Mobile Hotspot

I have a Sprint HTC EVO Shift that is rooted. I have a mobile hotspot app on the phone, so I can share my data plan with other devices.
I always bring it to work and use it to hook up my laptop so I can surf the net (which is what I am using right now to post this on) off of our corporate network.
This works GREAT with my laptop.
I have a Sony Xperia 10" Android (Jellybean) tablet. It works fine with my wifi at home. However, while it will connect with my phone's hotspot, it won't actually transmit any data. Can't run apps (that need to be online) or surf the net or anything.
Any ideas why it works fine on the laptop but not on the tablet? I briefly had another tablet running JellyBean (a Toshiba AT305) and it had the same problem. My old tablet, running Ice Cream Sandwich (old Toshiba Thrive) will connect and surf just fine over the mobile hotspot on the phone.
I've tried setting up the hotspot as "WEXT (ad-hoc)" as well as"Softap (master)" with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried one of the roms that have the hacked native wifi tether? Try one of those. newSense, SupremeSense
