Is there a way to tether both GPS and 3G at the same time over wifi?
Most wifi tether apps disable system wifi so the GPS tethering apps can no longer be used.
I haven't found ANY apps that tether GPS data across the phone's WiFi. You? I wound up having to tether my GPS via USB cable and use WiFi for my laptop Internet connection.
See What I did.
I am having problems with applications on the phone not being able to communicate when wireless tethering is turned on. Examples are Google Talk and Touchdown both quit working when I enable the wireless hotspot. I have a wireless Xoom and use the hotspot for it to connect. Other applications on the nexus seem to work like the browser and the market. Google talk comes up with 'Network currently unavailable. Will connect automatically when available.' As soon as I disable the hotspot it connects. Anybody else having problems with wireless tether?
Yes, I've noticed when I'm connected to 4g and turn on Wireless hotspot or USB tethering my 4g icon turns grey and I am no longer connected to 4g. I've repeatedly checked to in different locations around my city, and at different times of the day. Same behavior. Something tells me its not coincidence.
Hi All,
I'm able to use my Motorola Xoom as a Hotspot and tether to my Pc, the problem that I have is that after some time using it, I stop surfing the web in my lap and if I see my Xoom the 3G is disconnected. I have to turn off for a while the data connection in my Xoom and then turn it back in to reconnect to 3G.
Anyone having this issue??
Should I ask for Verizon/Motorola Support?
Hi guys,
installed wifi tether from google code.
it worked, however, noticed a couple things.
1. After turning off wifi tether, I'm still able to detect the adhoc wireless network. (Concerned about battery drain)
2. When having the wifi tether running, it isn't an access point, but an ad hoc network.
Anyone else having these issues? Known issues?
same here
I'm having the same issue basically. My laptop sees the "Androidtether" but it wont connect. It did the same thing with usb tethering too.
Installed Pdanet and it works off and on. I'm in a 4g city...frustrating that I can't get those sweet speeds over to my computer! haha
I am having same issue..anyone have any ideas? I wish it came up as a reg wireless connection instead of the ad hoc network....the stock wifi hotspot comes up correctly

Technically, the SamChg stock WiFi Hotspot is coming up incorrectly as an Infrastructure connection, and the android-wifi-tether app is coming up correctly as an "Ad-Hoc" connection.
It's just not "convenient" for us that the Google android-wifi-tether app only comes up in ad-hoc mode.
From Wikipedia: A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks.
Personally, I can't think of anything more "decentralized" than a mobile phone.
As far as I know, the latest version found here (3.0-pre14) works, and it has infrastructure mode. Just use the Samsung Fascinate option when setting (Device-Profile) it up and it should work.
wow thanks..that worked beautifully...appreciate it
Anyone else having issues with bluetooth tethering dropping out? (rooted but stock rom )
It appears to happen randomly, and the only way that I can get it started again is to turn off bluetooth on the nexus 5, turn it back on again and restart bluetooth tethering then re-connect my device.
There are no issues/problems with tethering by my phone operator as my deal has unlimited all you can eat data with all you can use unlimited tethering included.
