You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.

Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

[Q] ASUS Eee Pad and ad-hoc wifi

I know that generally Android does not like connect to ad-hoc wifi but was hoping against hope that someone with an Eee Pad can check if that is still the case?
I'm definitely getting one once i can get my molesty hands on some stock somewhere, but when out and about, my trusty Treo Pro only creates an ad-hoc wifi network via wmwifirouter (works excellent with other portable wifi devices i have).

well, I'm using Barnacle with a rooted Atrix 4G and the transformer can't connect to the ad hoc network.

I can't connect my Transformer to my HTC Hero running an ad-hoc WiFi hotspot. However, it works fine over bluetooth....

Ah ha, at least bluetooth tethering works. At least that's an option i have. Thanks for checking guys.

Argh! Does this mean I can't use the 'Wifi Hotspot' app built into my phone (DHD) to share its 3G connection with my Transformer whilst I'm out and about?
Because I was kind of relying on that.
I may have to cancel my pre-order :-(

It's an Android issue in general, nothing specific to the Transformer specifically. The latest wifi tether for root users i think now does Infrastructure mode and also bluetooth tethers as well.

You can tether it through Bluetooth, which is better IMO. Every time I use Wifi Hotspot on my N1, I start having crashes and memory issues. I had rather use BT for this.

I don't know about that particular phone, but if the hotspot is infrastructure mode (like what is built into Froyo), the TF will be able to connect to it and use it. If it is Ad Hoc, then there will be trouble, Android in general does not support connecting to Ad Hoc (could have changed in Honeycomb now, I but I don't think so). I've used my TF with the Infrastructure hotspot on my Optimus phone, for example, it works fine. Figure out what kind of hotspot your phone does.

On Windows Mobile, use wmwifirouter and choose the bluetooth tethering option. See if that works.
Someone a few posts up mentioned that he's tethering his TF via bluetooth to his Android phone.

It definetely depends on the phone. wireless tether to my buddy's HTC Evo worked yet didnt with my HTC Hero. Luckily, the bluetooth does work exceptionally well so theres no worries!

I installed the trial of Wmwifirouter, but the bluetooth tether option is grayed out. Maybe a limitation of the trial?
I just can't believe that there isn't a better solution for this. Surely there is a utility or a workaround for those of us in tethering hell!!! GahhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would this be feasible on a honeycomb device?

has anyone tried to tether with the EVO?

I saw a patch for another tablet somewhere to enable ad-hoc wifi. it was a zip for cwm, but most definitely it was built for earlier android version. i'll look for it nonetheless and report back.

Any way to tether with 4G?

Just got my Nexus S 4G, running it 100% stock and not sure if I will ever root/ROM it yet. I can tether fine using built-in Wifi hotspot. As we know, the tether kills 4G and forces 3G when active.
I only actually have 3G at my house, so I can't test any other methods, but I am wondering if any other tethering tools will allow 4G tether? For example, Barnacle wifi or PDAnet USB... tools I've used in the past on rooted phones. And if either of these methods does work for 4G tethering... is root required? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 4G available nearby and has tested these methods on rooted/unrooted phones.
Thanks!

Wifi tether for root users works, but it creates an ad-hoc network, so you can't connect with another android device. A laptop will be able to connect though

You can root and leave everything else stock. Rooting on this phone is trivial.

Non-root tether apps like Pdanet and EasyTether all run as regular apps on the phone. If running a normal app like Pandora preserves 4g status, then the 4g status should remain with those as well.
As for speed, you can look at a comparison that someone ran a few days ago across the popular USB tether apps:

using the same wireless tether app, but don't worry i figured out the answer. Most androids tether thru adhoc but for some reason the evo is different and uses infrastructure mode, thats why my xoom can't pick up the nexus s signal but it can from the evo.

That's not entirely correct. Most newer phones have the capability to create an infrastructure network. It was more hit or miss on older phones.
The built in hotspot app does create an infrastructure network on the Nexus S. The 3rd party wifi tethering app creates an ad-hoc network though on the Nexus S for some reason. Unfortunately the built in tethering doesn't utilize the wimax radio currently.
The hardware on the nexus s does support creating an infrastructure network though, so I don't know why the wifi tethering app is creating an ad-hoc network if it has the capability to do infrastructure.

Maybe shoot the dev an email. The hardware supports infrastructure and the AP can clearly do it. It may be a simple error in logic preventing the Nexus s from being detected as a device capable of infrastructure.

HTC Sensation & Xbox Live

Hi there,
Unfortunately I dont have access to broadband at home atm...
Or any form of internet that isn't running through my HTC Sensation...
I'm wondering if I can use my HTC Sensation and the 3G connection and tether it via USB to my Xbox 360...
I only want to download some Skyrim patches, not game online or anything.
Has anyone here ever tried this?

I think you need to tether your sensation to your PC then bridge the PC to the Xbox.
Not something I've done but I read about a while back.
Hope that helps.

If you have a usb flash drive then use a program called modio. Here is a quick link on what someone is doing with that program. The theory is there you just need to work through it. I know that I have downloaded System updates to my pc and transferred them to the Xbox hdd. Modding and flashing my Xbox disk drive is my second hobby here is a video/2 videos that you should watch. HERE This was just a quick search and the guy is a dumb ass but again the theory is there. I know you said you don't have a pc. but if your work pc's let you install programs then you should be good to go. Here is another video to watch.HERE WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR which might be better for you.

I don't think you can open or close NAT on your phone.
I've had this problem with my router and I fixed it with port forwarding, but I don't believe you can forward ports on your phone.
As far as UPnP goes I don't think you can enable that as well.
Your best bet (probably) would be to plug a router into your phone somehow and then enabled UPnP and port forwarding on it through router settings.

Using a crossover cable I once got it to work. But since then I can't figure out why it won't. I used a crossover cable from my pc to my xbox and connected my pc wirelessly to the phone.
as described in this thread.

No, I literally mean plugging a cable from your phone directly into a router/modem and broadcasting a WiFi network.

So how do I get a CAT 5 from my phone to the router? =)

How did you plug your phone into your xbox?

Either through wireless tethering, or connect laptop to phone via wireless or usb cable, then run a crossover cable to x box and use Windows connection sharing. Once upon a time I actually got this to give me open nat, but it was several months ago and I can't figure it out
