Hello,
I have been updating my Xoom MZ604 with the information from XDA for a while. My last update was to Jelly Bean using the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796335
Update was flawless and in a couple of minutes I was running again my Xoom.
Now I discovered Ad-Hoc is not working as previous ICS version....
I tried to use the same "wpa_supplicant" change as previous ICS and HC solutions and the Wi-Fi stooped working... So it seems not a potential solution. :crying:
After my unsuccessfull wpa adventure, I returned it to the original JB file without ad-hoc support.
Does anyone have a solution for it??? If not I am going back to ICS...
Regards to all
Easiest solution: get a device that broadcasts in infrastructure.

Maybe easiest but not cheapest one.... :cyclops:
Currently I use my Motorola Milestone 3 (Droid 3) as router when I am not home...
Android HC with the wpa_supplicant modification was able to work in this combination.... Android JB not :crying:

There are a few different apps, some that will require root access, that should be able to broadcast in infrastructure mode. AOSP roms usually do as well though I don't know what development is like for the Droid 3 given the locked bootloader.
Tethering using bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi.

I got your recommendation and after some additional searching in google I got to an application that uses the bluetooth for sharing the internet connection without needing to root my phone (company phone).
So I installed FoxFi in the phone (from Google Play Store) for free and in the tabled the PadNet Tablet application (also for free at Google Play Store).
I just enabled the bluetooth solution at FoxWi in the phone and then started the PadNet in the Xoom.
It paired and made a VPN connection over bluetooth.
Now internet is working again in my Xoom using my Motorola Milestone 3 (Droid 3) as router.
It is not as simple as before using Wi-Fi router solution (standard application in the Milestone 3) and Xoom running HC with modified wpa_supplicant file but at least I have my internet connection!!!

pdanet guy has released an app to the marlet that lets you access the web from your gtablet via bluetooth through your phone. I tried on my gtablet and works as advertised. Note this is a web proxy solution so not all apps work, but browser/http based stuff should be fine.
Does you phone have to be an android phone?
Seems to be almost working with Droid X and Gtab, but always fails just after connection. Still messing around with pairing options. This would be an awesome way to tether tablets.
I have this app running as I'm typing now on my gtab.
My mobile isn't rooted yet and its virgin mobile, so locked down on wifi tethering.
So I tried this app out, it took a little work and a few roms.
I had tnt lite 4.4 and the latest G harmony rom 2.4?
They would both freeze up on me when I was in the browser.
I'm now on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. The latest stable version and its working fine.
Good rom, and I got netflix and hulu working on it too.
The PdaNet tablet Beta app only let's you share internet to the Browser APPs though not all apps.

I have a droid x as well running .595 GB. What ROM are you running on the Gtab? I am gonna try this out tonight on CM7.
What is this app called? I need to grab it before they remove it from market.

I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo V6 on the gtab and stock GB on the DX. PDAnet tablet has been updated a couple of times and I still fail when connecting. Haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting.
I am running Vegan tab 5.1.1 suppl and am having problems connecting. I enable the blue tooth on the phone (Droid 2) server and the gtab client. The tab recognizes the phone but when I go into settings on the phone it says the gtab is paired but not connected. Any suggestions? I get "fail to connect bluetooth server (java.io.IOException: Connection timed out.")
Thanks
Even with all the updates I'm still not able to connect. Oh well wireless tether it is.
Greetings forum members,
I have a basic question and hopefully someone or multiple people could help me out. I am currently in the market for a tablet;Asus Transformer or the Acer A500. I currently have a Moto Droid X running OTA 2.3.3 and of course no root options at this time.
I have the application called PDAnet for my computer when the internet goes out at home and I need the internet for quick access. I am wondering if anyone knows of an app like PDAnet that I can install on the tablet and tether to my phone for internet access.
Yes I know I can sbf back to froyo and re-root and install the gingerbreak leak that already has root to do the wireless tether. That is currently my last option. I wouldn't be doing the tether very much but it would be nice for my trip to Disney World next month with the family.
Thank you for time on reviewing this post and I am hoping alot of people will help out. GO XDA FORUMS!
i have an X and transformer.. and easy tether, which i think is the same basically as pdaNET..... and none of those tethering apps are gonna work because they require you to load software onto the the device supplying the data. for example i have to install and .exe application on my windows computer to tether it via my X for a data connection. im not aware of of any of the tethering apps that have made a .apk app to install on an android platform to use as the source of the data tether..... just gonna have to do your homework and root the X.... its really easy and once you do it ull love your tablet even more.
Both the Transformer and A500 tablets only recognize infrastructure wifi unless you root them and either do a supplicant replacement or install a custom ROM. On my Acer A500 I rooted & installed latest Taboonay custom ROM which instantly allowed my tablet to find all Ad-HOC signals, including the signal from my Epic 4G Touch with WiFi Tether Version 3.1-beta6 installed. Not sure but you MIGHT get lucky linking your PDAnet to a tablet running the Taboonay ROM.
What up everyone!
As we all know, Zdzihu has released zKernel that is capable of many things, one of which include full netfilter support (droid wall & wifi tether). I know that many of have used barnacle wifi but one of the issues I had with it was that it sets up an ad hoc network to allow wifi tethering. The problem with android is that, for whatever reason, it can not connect to ad hoc networks. As such those of us with android tablets or other android phones could not tether using our X10s.
Now fast forward to today. The zKernel (probably other ones by Goro kun too) has full netfilter support but how can we use it? Well, rather simple. Download this handy dandy app from this here link:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I downloaded the latest evo 4g version for eclair and wifi tethering works! Now I've got my X10s tethered with each other. No more ad hoc support via barnacle wifi for me!
Note: Remember to install zKernel first! Also, I had issues with connecting to a secure network via this app. However, there is an option to enable access controls that allows you to authorize connections.
Thanks to all the developers for making this possible!
Installation Instructions:
1. Download & Install Z's zKernel via Xrecovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475
2. Download apk in the link in the middle of the page.
be more specific about the kernel, as far as i know the best way to tether is whit bernacle thats on our x10,, and for the use of os tether i read on zdzihu page that is kernel related...
Huh?

Not trying to start a fight but how more specific do you want me to be? Please read my post carefully as I do mention Z's zKernel not only in the name of the thread but in the OP multiple times too. I will bold them for your entertainment as well as provide a useful link to Z's thread. To my knowledge there is only one zKernel that was released as of today's date of 6/22/2011. Please let me know if you know of any others. Additionally, I do mention the use of barnacle wifi in the second sentence above and the problem associated with it. But what if you have another android device? How do you tether it using barnacle wifi?
Thanks for your concerns but please read a bit more carefully as this does relate to a kernel.
can u upload the app u are use? please, because i download more than one but without sucess, only get ad-hoc mode =/

Yes, me too! Only ad-hoc mode!
Still, it's better than Barnacle though, more stable!
Hey all. Looks like I made a mistake. In my haste and excitement I automatically thought the app was not running an ad-hoc mode because I was able to tether my other X10 (with no sim/service) to my X10 that had service/sim. After reading the FAQ of the android-wifi-tether app, I found that it does indeed connect via ad-hoc mode.
The FAQ can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
My understanding was that Android devices could not connect to ad-hoc mode so I wonder why this app is different from Barnacle. I tried connecting via Barnacle to test if it would work but to no avail.
Do you have a T-Mobile US device that redirects you to T-Mo's site whenever you try to wireless or USB tether your computer? Here are two work arounds to stop that:
Difficulty: Easy. ROM: Any. Description: Spoof computer web browser to say 'Android' when loading web pages.
1) Install an EU ROM. Any ROM based on T-Mobile US has a script that will block tethering if Android is not recommended.
2) (SUGGESTED) (Avoiding the script) No root needed. No APN switching (because that sh!t does not work). You need to spoof your computer's web browser to an Android device. Go on your add-ons/extensions installing page (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, maybe more) and search for a user account spoofer / switcher. I am on Chrome and I use 'Chrome UA Spoofer'. Select the Android Motorola Xoom device to spoof to. Tether via wireless or USB and it works constantly. The only downside is that some pages load in mobile view. You can easily select to show full web page. I used this for multiple hours, multiple PCs, multiple different times and never was redirected to T-Mo asking me to add tethering to my plan.
Why does this happen? Ever since Android 4.0, they added a script in the OS which does this. You cannot uninstall it because it is located very deep in the system (maybe you can, but no one has figured it out.) If you have a EU ROM (no wifi calling), then you will be fine to tether with no problems and no spoofing. Please click thanks if I helped
The APN thing does work; I use it daily for my Fire, and my laptop on occasion. Not to mention the FCC just smacked Verizon for $1.25M for blocking customers from tethering with third party apps, so T-Mobile should follow soon to avoid a similar fine.

T-Mobile should be stopped for that. But I have to say the the APN did not work for me. It worked for about 20 minutes, then I was never able to connect again.

Actually they don't have to allow tethering, nor will they be fined. This was a rule specific to LTE implementations. Since T-Mo is on HSPA+, those rules in no way apply to them.
Also, to the OP -- this works, but you need to keep in mind that it only would apply to web browsing. Tethering is detected via packet identification. The combination of the TTL (time to live) and the device (Android vs computer, etc) gives tethering away. If you were to use bittorrent on your computer, the packets would be identified as computer, and with a computer TTL.
Dang, that sucks. I thought it had to do with data limits, since they aren't required to allow it for their unlimited customers.

It's been figured out over on the Sensation forum. It's a tether apn set to be hidden in the apn.xml found inside the framework.apk, if I recall correctly. Steve from the Elegancia Rom should be able to help.

How did you get FoxFi to work? I tried it and said it won't work on this device. And when I use bluetooth, the tethered device can't do certain things outside of the browser.

Then you are using the wrong rom,I was using Elegancia rom and it worked for me. You can't just root the stock rom and expect it to work, there is a separate hidden tether apn built into the framework.apk I believe.

Hi, newbie here.
i have been reading for a while on this forum, i was using Nokia E7 for my work purposes, and interested to know if photon Q can replace it. i like QWERTY device anyway. as photon Q looks attractive for me so finally I got one.
i am interesting if i can connect photon Q to 802.1x with LEAP.
i try to play with stock wifi setting, no LEAP option there, i try to play with LEAP Wifi free (can be downloaded in google play), Wifi advanced configuration editor, wifi connection manager, try all possible setting but still can't connect to my company network.
other status :
SW version 77.8.14
android version 4.0.4
build number = 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14
i was wondering if i need to root/unlock bootloader to have LEAP connected (so i can edit something/files).
any idea or any help? thank you !
Never used this type of wifi, but maybe this post will help?

thanks, but i have tried that and not working.
I assume a lot of university & company still using Cisco LEAP Authentication.
once we find a way, photon q can be the perfect phone for businessman & student.
I use "LEAP WiFi Free" from the market (Play Store) and it works perfect with LEAP authentication at my workplace.
