Hello,
I am brand new to the forums. I have done some poking around but I want to have a threat dedicated to this as Im going to assume a lot of people are going to have this problem.
I just bought my gtablet about 2 hours ago. I havent been able to root it or install any roms yet because I bought it in chicago and I am on my way back home to michigan right now as I type this.
I am trying to see if anyone knows how to get wireless tether to work on the gtablet. I have a rooted incredible running cyanogen 6.0.2 w/ wireless tether. I am connected to my phone right now as I type this on my netbook. I cant get my gtab to see my wireless tether...any ideas or things to try. I cant be the only one thats run into issues.
Secondly, maybe this needs its own thread. I was going to try doing it via bluetooth with the bluetooth sync. Both devices see eachother.....both devices request a pair confirmation wiht the same key...but both are saying paired not connected. Any ideas why this is? I sync with other BT devices from my INC just fine.
So, wireless tether...wont work....works from other devices but not my gtab to my incredible...bluetooth wont connect.
I plan on rooting my gtab tonight when i get home and settled in. Any ideas would be awesome.
Thanks!

i use wireless tether for my gtablet from my rooted incredible but i have heard others say they cannot get it to work. i am using the wireless tether that is installed on redemptive revolution 2.1.2
Your problem is what i ran into, ad-hoc networks vs infastructure. I am able to switch my gtablet back and forth using the information i found here: h ttp://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital-novel-android-tablet-discussion/4505-i-have-infrastructure-adhoc-working-same-time-do-you-want-look-here.html
Its not just layed out perfectly for you but the main idea is to edit wpa_supplicant.conf to look for ad-hoc. The link has a apk that lets you go from your current settings to a tethered setting then back again. The link is the only reason I figured it out and is the easiest way i found so far. Sorry I dont have time to lay out a straight forward guide for the gtablet right now but being I novice I was able to get it using the link.
hmm, mine works with no modifications.

Not mine, but I will hold off with any more mods until a new TnT rom is released. Even with Titanium, getting the device back to par is getting old. Not even fooling with the openGL patch, since my luck will be boot loops and a forced reset of the rom.

Some phones can tether using infrastructure setup but mine (droid1) and many others can only create ad-hoc networks to tether. From what I have read android can only connect to wireless infrastructure not ad-hoc without going through the steps in the link. I may be way off on this and would love to be wrong since the hack is kind of a pain to implement but its the only thing that has worked for me.
Wifi tether working for me now!
Apparently the version I had and the one in the market are not a fit for my device. A kind soul from a "rival" land pointed me to a version that does work.
Thanks!
I appreciate wifi tether (faster than expected), but we would save some serious battery power for both devices if USB tether was available

Sent a PM, since not sure I can link it here.
Phone is the Incredible.
UPDATE:
The wifitether app worked fine with TNT 1.03, but does not work with Tnt 2.0- device not seen, just like BEFORE I got this app. This issue is getting old quickly.
UPDATE 2:
Now it works... not understanding this at all. I need beer.
I have searched these forums and the net but can not find an easy solution to get the adhoc wifi of the Droid 1 to be seen by the Gtablet. In my searching I found where file wpa_supplicant.conf was to be edited and it fixed the problem (it was very involved). But I remember reading some place that had the file edited that you could just back up the original and copy the new over. Does anyone know where this updated file might be or a fix for someone like me that does not feel comfortable editing files?
I'll admit it... I'm looking for a noob way to fix this problem.
Hey there need help. I have a friend that just rooted his phone and is using wireless tether, but His computer won't recognise the phone as WiFi. What should he check for or fix?

I have tried everything I have read, and I still can not get my G Tablet to see my Droid 1. I have tried both Barnacle WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether. Both my G Tablet and my Droid 1 are rooted. My iPod Touch works with my Droid 1, so I don't think the Droid is the problem.

There has to be a way to do it. I thought I read somewhere how to do it but I just can't find it. I have had my Gtablet from the day they went on sale at Sears and have looked at 1000's of post then I decided it was time to root both devices to use the wifi... only to find out the adhoc from the Droid 1 wouldn't work. BAH!

It does work, but not sure it does on all flavors of firmware as I had it set up just not sure which firmware I was testing on at the time... I did have problems with Original TNT stock firmware... same files I was trying worked on not sure whether early CM or Ztab... but on original TNT it looked like a wpa_supplicant bug as was definitiely seeing the conf file but wouldn't find anything with the scan... so came back with error like the original tablet I had to return did for any Infrastructure scan... I'm bouncing between both my Gtabs running diff firmware on each so easy to get confused at times... What version are you running and I'll try to give it a go tomorrow...
Stock GTab, rooted with market....
Flashed with clockworkmod from one of the threads here a file called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip and it worked.

I am also running the original G Tablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.
UPDATE: I realized last night that my files were not being overwritten with the modified ones, even though I was telling Root Explorer to replace the existing ones. I will delete the old wpa_supplicant.conf file before copying the modified version next time, to see if it makes a difference. Right now I am restoring everything that I had on the GTab little by little after frying my wifi settings last night. I couldn't get it working, so I did a factory reset and lost everything.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Yep. That was my problem. My modified wpa_supplicant.conf file was not replacing the original one. Once I deleted the old one manually, and copied the modified one in its place, it worked. I can now tether to my original Motorola Droid. I am using a program called AdhocAble to switch easily between two different wpa_supplicant.conf files (one for adhoc, and another for infrastructure).
MORE INFO: The problem I am having now is that my wireless quits working after each reboot. I have to change the file permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf to allow read-write for Other. Once I do this, the wireless starts working again. I even tried changing onwership of the wpa_supplicant.conf file to system.wifi, but that stopped AdhocAble from being able to change between adhoc and normal modes. I will probably try that patched supplicant binary soon.
FINAL UPDATE: Wow. wpa_adhoc-signed.zip worked for me, too. My Droid 1 is showing up with an asterisk beside it in my wifi list. This is the best fix yet. Yahoo! Thanks tcrews for posting this one.

THANX... I'll give this a try as after having gone through this on multiple tablets multiple times this smelled of a wpa_supplicant bug on TNT!

+1 for this post. major thanks to the poster. i was having problems with my gtab seeing my droid1 when running wireless tether, and this did the trick. for reference, currently using tnt 2.0.2 (supplemental applied to tnt 2.0.0). now ill be able to take this thing with me on the road this weekend and enjoy it. thanks again!

Hi Guys,
In the last three days I've learned how to root my captivate, side-load apps, installed barnacle and wifi tether, all in the hopes of using my TF while on the road with my Captivate.
Unfortunately I cant get BT or Ad Hoc tethering to work.
I get the paired but not connected error when using BT
My TF is 8.2.3.13 so I can't root (without downgrading to 8.2.3.9 which I'm kind of afraid to do).
Does anyone know if I need to install a custom rom on my captivate in order to get the BT to tether?
I've probably read 100 threads in hopes of getting this to work, but at this point I might have to return the TF and get an ipad (yuck) just to get some connectivity for working on the road.
Any suggestions would be very very appreciated.
Regards,
wunshot
I'm assuming you want to use internet from your phone to tether to the tablet correct? Installing a custom rom is one way of achieving this. I use cognition rom which comes with the ability to tether through wifi. You need to activate that on the phone and have the tablet connect to the phone's wifi network.
I'm not sure if you were doing this but you cannot create an ad hoc network on the tablet and connect the phone to it to tether. The phone has to be the host and the tablet the client.

You don't want bluetooth. SirSid is on the right track suggesting the custom ROM although there are other ways that might not be as simple.
You want to turn on Mobile AP (Access Point) which turns your Cappy into a wifi hotspot and you're good to go. Go check the Captivate forums on how to achieve Mobile AP without much trouble. If you try to use it on a stock froyo cappy it will warn you about needing a tethering plan with ATT, you can easily remove the plan check using TiBu and it's all spelled out in the Cappy forums.

I use Captivate all the time and I can turn on the mobile hotspot and have my TF connect to it.
Atleast I'm not aware of being able to do BT tethering on a Captivate. I'm interested to know, if its even possible. Lets post a thread on the Captivate forum.
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i plan on using my phone as the wifi host. I will give that cognition rom a shot. Im assuming the cognition rom creates the wifi network using infrastructure rather than ad hoc...is that the case?

Have no idea, I know it just works, it's actually a part of Android since Froyo, it just needs to be enabled and/or not checked if you don't have a tether plan.
I think cognition just uses the defualt android AP app. It creates the network in infrastructure mode if I remember right.
In any case, it just works
(Its located in Settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile AP)
It supports bluetooth tethering as well, but the tablet would need to recognize it as a bluetooth modem. I have not tried that yet. Using a usb tether would probably be best if it works however. Using wifi tether drains battery faster than than my car charger can charge my phone. I still manage to loose battery even when its plugged in.
Sweet...I'll install cognition when I get home and see where I stand. Thanks for the advice...I'll updater you in a few hours with my results
OP, I have a rooted cappy with firefly rom on it. Super easy to do and its stable and allows for wifi hot spot without stupid ATT finding out you are tethering.
http://www phoenix-hq com/firefly/
It is a legit stable rom. I am able to wifi tether easily with my TF, no problems.
I'm on a stock froyo captivate Mobile AP works fine for tethering, can't figure out bluetooth. I tried for a couple of hours but gave it up Mobile AP works great, although I hear bluetooth saves battery?
EDIT: sorry it's a rogers captivate, i believe US is still on 2.1 nvm!

I don't understand why your getting into the Ad-hoc thing. Any rooted ROM you install on the Captivate, you can make your phone a Wifi hotspot via Mobile AP settings. That would create a Wifi network from the phone, and you can connect to that network in the TF.

I tested my Capativate with CyanogenMod 7 rom. It has "Tethering & portable hotspot" feature built-in. I tried it on my friend's TF yesterday and it actually works great!!!
I put cognition on my phone and it worked like a charm.....thanks!
I have had my Galaxy S 4G about 1 month now and I'm a newb to Android. I've not rooted or done anything other than load more apps from the Market to try and learn more about this phone. It is out of the box stock as of 9/2011
My Wifi shows that it is on and logged on to my router at home and when I run the SpeedTest.net app it shows that ping works (though slow) and then the download runs but then times out with a network error.
All I do is toggle off the wifi and then back on again and try it again and suddenly it works fine for some extended time.
I have an I-pod touch that always works along with a laptop that has no issues with the 802.11 g connection from the same chair that I'm sitting in with the phone.
It is an annoyance to keep having to check for "quality of service" issues with an internet connection. You never know when you will have to toggle the service back on again or if you are just looking at a server issue on the other end of the connection
Is this a known problem with either Froyo, Samsung Galaxy or T-Mobile?

Firmware version

Not to my knowledge. I had my SGS4G back in February before the KD1 update and never had the problem. It wouldn't be a T-Mobile issue as, whatever the problem is, is between your phone and the router. So T-Mobile is out of that equation.
Maybe try a factory data reset? Just a thought to see if it helps. I can't think of a good reason it would but it's just an idea. Given that you're not rooted nor running any custom ROMs or firmware I don't want to even think about pointing you down that road.
Have you tried it with more than the 1 router in the house? If it's a problem with wifi in general it could be defective hardware. If it's only with the 1 router then there could be other variables at play (type of router, security on it, & the SGS4G not liking that, etc.)
I'm rambling...but stumped a bit.
Called t_mobile support and once I got to the second level support person she had me stop by a store and get an updated Sim card.
My original card was 7 years old. I really didn't think that would matter, but so far it seems to have done the trick.

Awesome. Glad you got it working.
I've tried a few wpa sup files and have had limited results. As soon as I think it's fixed, it craps out on me. I can't get foxfi to run on my S3 nor will any other app work. I can get Bluetooth tethering but of course that is slow. Currently running CleanRom 2.3 on the tab and JellyWiz rls8 on the S3. Willing to switch if someone has a real solution.
Edit: I'm using the wifi hotspot on the S3 which I believe is using AP not ad hoc. The tfi tries to connect the authenticate and then says saved. It repeats this and never gets a connection.
I am having issues with the BLuetooth tethering. We all have our cross to bear, don't we? Indeed, I believe you're right with the SIII doing AP as does my SII -- I haven't tried FoxFi yet, might give it a whirl. I can find this thread back now, so when I get something to work, I'll report back in.
I'm back in love with my Transformer since installing KatKiss Rom. However, my download speed is about 1/10th of what it should be. When running the speedtest.net app I'm getting about 3.7Mbps download and upload was the normal (for me) 10Mbps. My dl speed should be closer to at least 40-45 Mbps. I've search for similar issues however have only been able to see problems people have with the inability to actually connect. I can connect to the network/Internet with not problem there. It's just my dl speed is significantly slower than it should be.
Any ideas or suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Sorry, forgot to add, I'm running KatKiss 4.4.4_32b

Thanks for the reply but I had already checked that. Besides, if that was set incorrectly, wouldn't that prevent any connections at all? My problem isn't a connection issue. It is a speed issue.
Try KK #33, maybe it has been fixed since 32b

I was thinking of doing that however I was hoping there was another option. I thought it was funny that my Transformer hasn't already informed me that there was an update available. Oh well. I'll try and get to it sometime this weekend. Unfortunately, homework takes priority. Only 10 more weeks until I graduate with my BSIT!!
Generally only stock ROMs get OTA updates, Custom ROMs need updating manually, iirc back in the days, one of the custom ROM devs did manage to get OTA updates running with his custom ROMs, but never seen that again for years
Need to keep checking the dev thread for new custom ROMs, everything is manual apart from app updates
Good luck with your BSIT

Well, tried to upgrade to v33 but still no go. Wifi speed is still about a 10th of what it should be. I'm definitely connected but not very fast. Also, I forgot to mention it in my previous posts but the auto-rotate function doesn't work either. It will open apps in the orientation that the app needs but will not switch between land and port when rotated on the home screen.
I'm going to try an earlier version (4.4.2 v26) because I've read that this might fix the auto-rotate issue at least.
Still lovin the Rom...just a couple hiccups that need to be ironed out.

Well, installing KatKiss Rom 4.4.2 v26 didn't resolve either issue. Anyone have any other ideas? TIA
Have you seen faster speeds than that with the TF101 before?
You'll likely only connect at around 65Mbps with the TF
With a Wireless G 54Mbps you get about 20-30Mbps because of overheads (Encryption etc)
That results in around 2-3MB/s real world download speeds
So with 65Mbps, you won't see a great deal more than that
Plus those speedtest apps are pretty crappy if Im honest, best to download something you get good speeds on your PC from, and test it on the TF

I was using the Speedtest.net app. Same one I use on all my computers and devices. I'm at work by my wife has the same tablet as I do however her's isn't rooted and has the original OS. I'll test her Wifi speed to be sure I'm reporting correctly. I'm pretty sure I am though. :cyclops:

Status update:
I've tried two different Recoveries (CWM & TWRP) and two different ROMs (KatKiss and OmniROM). All have installed with no problems however I still haven't resolved the slow download speed issue. I'm still baffled as to why my upload speed is normal. Side by side comparison with my wife's non-rooted stock TF101 in the same room had normal download speeds which were 10 times as fast as my TF101.
Any other ideas I can explore?
Using 4.4.4_034 in the US I had to choose "EMEA & rest of world" to get 36Mb/s.

Bit of a strange one indeed, you could try changing router settings just in case, change the wireless channel to a clearer one, as above use WiFi Analyser to check the best channel to use
Other options would be to clear the DHCP pool on the router, forcing all devices to reconnect on a new IP
On the tablet side, you could try setting a static IP instead of using DHCP
Try a different DNS server, not that it should affect the download speed, but 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Googles public DNS servers
(Gateway is the IP of your router)
Solved - Still not sure why though.
I've somehow solved my download speed issue. I took my tablet to work and discovered that my WiFi speeds were what they should be so I knew it wasn't a device issue. Brought it back home and connected to my home wireless and found my speed issue was miraculously fixed. I'm still not sure why but I'm guessing something was reset or timed out in the router to where the tablet was now a new device. I don't know why removing the device from the network for a few hours would have a different effect than a manual reboot of the router. I guess I'll keep this in my bag of network troubleshooting tricks for the future.
Pleased you got it sorted
