Here's the problem of a newb user of an Android tablet.
I favent' found any similar thread here @ the Forum.
I've just bought a chinese tablet (EM73...maybe Haipad or Irobot) with Ginger 2.3.3 installed by the vendor.
Everything goes right but not the sharing connection with the modem of my HTC TP2 (WM 6.5).
I can do it (through BT or WIFI connection) just if I use my netbook (Win XP home) running WMWifiRouter or CM Internet sharing. The router is immediatly recognized by the pc and I can use internet or SN (like FB) or Skype....and so on with an EDGE connection.
I've tried to do the same by connecting the modem-router to my new tablet, running WMWIFIRouter on TP2 but without seeing the net in the list of wifi connections.
No problem with the router and the ADSL connection that I use at home but no connections appears in the list of the tablet if I try to share the EDGE connection of my smartphone.
I've tried to connect by using an USB cable (using some apps found on the market) but nothing happens.
Someone says it depends of the type of connection (ad hoc = WM; infrastructure = Android)... but I can't find any solution to create that type of connection (is it possible ???=).
Can someone help me please ?
Though I don't have a solution, to help I can promise you it has to do with using ad-hoc. My Sirius and DSLite would not hook up to my WinMo phone because of it being Ad-hoc.
My goal is to use my PC's Ethernet connection as the source for internet on my Galaxy Note 10.1.
I am using Ubuntu 12.10 on my computer. I can go to Network > Use as hot spot > Change the settings to ad hoc, ect.
The PC 'connects' to this network, thus I know it is 'on'.
When I browse the listed Wifi networks on the tablet, the hot spot is not found.
Nor can I manually add the information in 'add a wireless network' (with and without security)
Nor do WifiAnalyzer or SmartWiFi Scanner detect the hot spot.
I have other devices I thought I'd try. My Galaxy Nexus (4.1.2) cannot find it. My Notion Ink Adam (4.1.1) cannot find it.
Interestingly, my Motorola Droid OG (2.3.7) CAN see it, and connect to it!
I have read that ICS and above have had ad hoc support taken out of the wpa_supplicant file located in 'system/bin/'.
I have tried several replacement files, but none have even successfully turned wifi back on (yes, rebooting after replacing).
Note: I do not want to tether internet from my phone to the tablet. I can already do this. I want to use my PC (running Ubuntu 12.10) as the source.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks
I suppose router it is
last bump.
Hi,
so my scenario is the following:
My PC is connected to the router via cable and has no WiFi connection. My router has wifi, but the connection is very bad in my room.
Is there a way to share the connection of my pc (running win 8 pro btw) via bluetooth (it's onboard) or USB?
Thanks!
edit: Just tested it with my HoX and there I have an option "Internet Pass-Through", which works fine via USB. But on my GNote 10.1 (wifi only) the option doesn't exist...
edit2: I guess I found out what the problem is: It's called reverse-tethering and the problem is, that all tethering options are not available in the systemsettings, because tethering is not available, because it's a wifi only model. On my HoX the option for internet pass-through are in the tethering section, though it's reverse tethering. Any ideas how to get there on the wifi only Note?
Use a second ethernet-slot on your pc, buy an usb-lan-device and connect it via otg and crossovercable.
Or use bluetooth, if your pc support that. (Maybe a cheap usb bt device for your pc?) To share internet on one android device to another via bt is no problem. So it should work te same with your pc. Dunno by windows settings or any third party software.

Allright, I have Bluetooth onboard but can't get it to work, I guess the problem is with windows here. The other idea is very good thanks, I'll try that.

Before buying check for well known usb lan devices. Especially for samsung note, note 2 and up.
How far is the router from your room?

1 floor ~3 walls
The closer I get to the door the better it gets. At the door the router is basically directly beneath. On my couch which is near the door the reception is okay. But in my bed and near my PC (furthest away from door) the reception is very bad or no reception at all.

edit: So, I finally found a working bluetooth driver for my onboard bluetooth and win 8 (it's a P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen 3 btw). The standard win 8 bt driver seemed to lack some features. Okay, now I am able to have a real pairing connection to the GN10.1. I enabled ICS in windows connection option and then tried to do a "connect to personal network" in windows. It fails with no notification at all on the Note. Then I downloaded Bluetooth PAN app from play store. Funny thing is: If I click connect in windows (in the "connect to personal network" window) and shortly after/before click connect in Bluetooth PAN the connection does not fail in windows (it shows as connected), but the Bluetooth PAN app doesn't show any established connection, very weird. I tried the app "BlueVPN", but also no luck. Oh btw I found the following:
Obtain a network connection via Bluetooth tethering
If you have a computer or other device that can share its network connection via Bluetooth, you can configure your phone to obtain a network connection by Bluetooth tethering (sometimes called reverse tethering).
1. Configure your computer to share it’s network connection via Bluetooth. See your computer’s documentation for details on how to do this. Typically, it involves making your computer discoverable via Bluetooth and allowing incoming PAN connections.
2. Pair and connect your phone to your computer via Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Check Bluetooth tethering.
Your phone connects to the Internet via Bluetooth and your computer, and a Bluetooth icon appears in the System bar.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I had Bluetooth Tethering enabled all the time. It didn't make any difference, except I got a noticifation "Tethering active" when connected, but I didn't get a reverse tethering.
Next thing I did, I tried connecting to my HTC One X's bt hotspot, didn't work either.
My best guess is still that there are too many tethering options missing due to the fact that it's the wifi only version.
What I'll try next is this. I'll let you know if it works.
edit 2: Oh, I also tried reverse tethering with my HoX to the PC, also didn't work.
Didn't worked because of firewall on windows 8?
Try to establish tethering through ur mobile phone via bt to wifi or [insertnumberhere]G internet.
Maybe in both directions (mobile<->10.1) to see if that works... and to decrease potential ...errrm... fehlerquellen.
Any update on sharing the internet connection of the pc to the note 10.1. I am especially interested in doing it via the USB.
It seems you can update the Note 10.1 via the USB, so it must be possible to connect to the internet via it. I think.
I don't own a Note 10.1 yet, but I am really interested in getting one.
it is old but maybe for some people the first gibt. nowadays it is easier in Windows 6 and above. you'll make it.

I'm having problem making my CM 10.1 on HTC sensation XE connect to a hotspot created by my laptop/computer via connectify or mhotspot kinda program..
Why can't my phone connect to the net (it connects to the wifi alright,but no internet) even after I've shared the internet in LAN settings. It keeps showing grey WIFI icon. I posted here because I couldn't post on CM 10.1
Have you created an AP (Access Point) or are you trying to share Internet via adhoc? I have installed connectify as well. Most Android Phones and also many Roms aren't able to connect via an adhoc network.
Access Point is only available from Win7 or Win8. Older windows versions can only create adhoc networks because of lack on support for the newer technology.
Are you running Win7 or Win8?
If yes, is your network set to Access Point?
If not try to change it. For me everything works fine with connectify. Great Program btw.

So, I have a Samsung Galaxy I5500 G5 with Android 4.0.4 and a PC with Windows XP SP3. I've installed all the drivers, configured the phone - ROOT, Superuser, Wi-fi hack etc.
I have the latest software downloaded from XDA (3.7) and everything "works" fine - The phone connect, it says connected but I don't have any connection - as you can see in the screenshot I don't have any active connections. Please HELP! I've lost so many hours trying to configure this...
