Can we use a hotspot with no internet access in order to play local WiFi games between android and ios since ios doesn't support WiFi direct?

I don't now as it is possible that iOS will need to actually 'see' the Internet as well.
Best bet - try it and find out
no is possible, i try and no have result
Oright then thanks ill probly just hookup a hotspot on my phone with the internet-passthrough or wait for a router

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.

The experimental ones in the website for it are infrastructure I think. The ones in market didn't work for me

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

Thanks... this might be the one thing that will drive me to root this phone eventually. Other than that I am fine with a 100% stock experience so far...

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 or using the hotspot functionality built into the evo?

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.

Why can't you watch movies rooted? I'd never watch a movie on a phone anyway, but the problem does make me curious.

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.

The movies app won't work on rooted devices. This is problematic if you use your tablet and the.movies app for renting movies.

I don't think they require it, just that they recommend using wifi. I have downloaded some games from gameloft myself and I had no problem using 3g.

Someone please have a legit answer to his question. I want to play Order and Chaos via 3/4G!!
Have you tried turning on wifi tether and see if it tricks the game to think you are on wifi and not 3g. just a dumb idea but it might work.
You could always go to a "shady" site and download the SD card data via PC. Or I suppose you could have a friend setup their phone as a wifi hotspot so that you could download that way.
These are all workarounds but...if one want's to play Order and Chaos via 3/4g
I have a phone and a tab and can tether my tab and play but ideally this would be nice to be able to accomplish with one device on it's own. Someone has to be clever enough to code a way to make apps think there is a valid connection, probably some iptables wizardry and place the wifi adapter into loopback mode if possible.
i currently use my phone as a hotspot to play xbox live, i may be getting a ps3, will it work as well? i am using the MIUI stock wireless tether currently. i use it for my laptop, asus transformer, wifes hp touchpad and the 360 already so i assume that the ps3 will not be a problem but just curious.
dont worry, no more than 1 device at a time on my phones tether..

As long as you set up the hotspot, your game consoles will connect (NDS, PS3, Xbox360, Computers, and PSP's), even other cellphones. It turns it into a wireless router for anything to connect too.
I WILL SAY THIS THO!!!! 3g connection SUCKS with hotspot if your gonna do online play. I played CoD with hotspot before i couldnt kill nothin due to lag. If you got 4g hotspot your golden.

Heh, good luck getting that on MIUI. No 4G support in China so no 4G support on MIUI.

true, MIUI does not have 4G, and did not know china didn't as well. but either way if he went to a different rom with 4g support and he could somehow get 4g somewhere he would be all set.
PS3 and hotspot
How did you guys manage to establish connection I have a rooted htc thunderbolt and would love to play online with it my bro uses his laptop and makes me lag so I had the idea of using the hotspot I use barnacle or open garden even easytether to my laptop then share with intel and I cant get connected help?
I connect with xbox (Master Thronnos) add it, with my phone and I have no lag with 3G or 4G... I live in the san antonio area... but I have MW3, halo reach and black ops for the wii. Anyone who wants to be shown the door... add it up

before i had wifi at home i used wireless tether 3.0 (i think it was) and experimental version of the app and had no problem playin MAG and metal gear solid online( except when recieving a phone call). N i live in VA where there is no 4g service in my area. Hope this helps
I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.
