I just go it working yesterday with TnT Lite 1.03, but it will not work with TnT 2.0. Mega, mega bummer.
It worked fine all day after installing the wifi tether app and tested several times after reboots of the Incredible and the Gtablet.
Same as before I got it working. Does not see the Incredible.
UPDATE:
Installed another version from the wifitether site (Incredible 2.1 version). It connects, but not consistently.
Not sure what the issue is. I do notice that when it does connect a "Wireless Tether - AC disabled" pops up in notifications. If that does not pop up in notifications, no connection.
TnT 2.0 works with my wifi tether on EVO.
Wifi Tether v. 2.0.5-pre11.
I think it has to do with the fact that Android in general has an issue with tethering to devices that broadcast in ad-hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode.
For example, using Wifi Tether for Root Users app from market, my Galaxy S cannot be seen by the G Tablet. Neither can my Hero. Because this app (according to its documentation @ google code) uses ad-hoc mode only. (see here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=11)
But when I use the Samsung built-in "Mobile AP" checkbox (it's in settings on the Galaxy S), it works perfectly; the G Tablet sees the phone and all is well. Because it uses infrastructure mode.

i'm gonna upgrade to 2.0 tonight. i'll let you know if mine still works.
Check your device specific version of Wifi Tether. Evo has an infrastructure mode.

I haven't done anything special. The settings are pretty as is when I installed it.
Have you checked to see if you can connect another device to the Evo first?
Here are my settings:
wifi encryption enabled
changed the passphrase
changed the ssid
Channel is 11
Access Control is enabled
lan = 192.168.1.0/24
let me know if you need any other info.

hi
i have the same setting on wifi tether app on my EVO i am able to connect and browse internet but in about 5 - 10 minutes the connections drops. By drops i mean it still shows connected but i am then not able to open any webpage at all. it keeps telling me web page not available.
Do you have the same issue?
This is all about the infrastucture mode. I would recommend trying to find the mobileAP app/mod for your phones. All of the galaxy s phones, even the stock 2.1 roms can be modded to have this mobileAP added, etc... Pretty much any phone that has at least 2.1 I'd look in the relivent xda forum for a mobile ap mod...

No, I stay connected. It drops sometimes but very rare and far in between.
Trouble Connecting G Tab with Original Motorola Droid
I have tried everything I have read to tether my G Tablet to my original Motorola Droid. So far I have been unsuccessful. I am still running the original firmware with Tap N Tap, but I am also running Launcher Pro. I have rooted both the G Tablet and my Droid. I have tried Barnacle Wifi Tether and Wireless Tether. I also installed Update 2967 that was pushed to my tablet on 22-Nov. Could that have messed me up? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

have you tried the two independently of one another? meaning, have you made sure the gtab is able to connect to a regular old wifi ap? have you checked other devices tethered to your droid?
I don't think the update would have / should have messed up your gtab's ability to connect to a wifi point.

My iPod touch works well with Barnacle on my Droid. Also, my G Tablet works well with both my Netgear Wirless G and D-Link Wireless N routers.
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).
I have an EVO but I get stock on obtaining ip address - any suggestion?
Works flawlessly tethered to my DX.
Hi
I got a Asia Set here and just got a nook color off ebay but i just cant tether my Nook color through the Sensation's Wifi hotspot...
I have flashed phiremod 6.3 for the nook and it can connect to all other wifi with no problem, even my friend's milestone hotspot.
The nook color is able to connect to the wifi hotspot and shows "connected" but just no internet connection when i wanted to surf through the browsers or use an app.... I even tried using the wireless tether for root phone app but same thing happen, connected but not internet data...
So what is the problem?
I've tried searching around, but haven't been able to find any info on my current issue which is that haven't been able to bluetooth tether my TF101 to my phone properly.
Phone: Galaxy Nexus CM10.1 nightly
-Bluetooth tethering enabled and confirms "Sharing this phone's Internet connection to 1 device"
-Also tried a stock Galaxy Note; same result.
Tablet: Transformer TF101 CM10 nightly (20121105)
-Use for internet access checked.
-Devices paired and connected successfully but it says "No Internet Connection"
I was able to connect using Fox-fi and PDAnet combo, which works for Chrome, but not Facebook or Gmail and more. Notification drawer still says "No Internet Connection"
Anyone have any insight for me? Something obvious I missed somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
Fir tethering with bluetooth i use BlueVPN app, FB and GMAIL work, but i can't download app in market store.
Other big problem is that often the connection block and i have to restart app in my tablet.
Anyone have any luck tethering a Droid razr maxx hd?
Hi,
I have upgraded by Samsung Mini GT-S5570 with the KitkatUI V2.0 Android version 4.2.2 from this forum [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2622069].
After installing everything seems to be fine except an issue with the WiFi Tether. When I click on the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" option it says "Turning On..." then the checkbox gets ticked but neither do I see any icon in the notification bar nor I find the set SSID broadcasting in other WiFi enabled devices. Is there a fix for the issue?
Please advice
Hello XDA-Team,
a few days ago i bought an used Acer A1-811.
Specs from about the Tablet:
Android 4.4.2
Baseband: Acer_AV0K0_MVmt8389kkv43_A1-811_1.022.00_WW_GEN1
Kernel: 3.4.67
Image Version: Acer_AV0K0_A1-811_RV02RC06_WW_GEN1
Build-Nummer: Acer_AV0K0_A1-811_1.025.00.WW:GEN1
Abbild-P/N: FM.NLXA0.064
No 3G-Sim inserted.
The problem/issue:
When i switched it on for the first time and connected to my WLAN, everything worked fine.
I´ve installed some apps from PlayStore and configured Home-Screens and so on.
Then i switched off WIFI to save battery.
When i switched WIFI on again it does not connect properly to my WLAN and has no connectivity to my Network, or the Internet.
The WIFI Status Icon in Status bar was red, not White as normal. Looking at the wifi-setup Screen, it Switches permant between connected, connecting, looking for a wifi, and so on.
Looking at the Status Screen on my router (Standard german O2-Router), the Tablet was not listed.
After rebooting my router the tablet connects immediately to wifi and works fine again.
So far, so good, but... after disabling wifi and enabling wifi again, the tablet does not connects again and the wifi Status Icon was red again.
Rebooting the router again and the tablet connects again.
Because of that, i do not switched off the tablets wifi over the night. But, next morning wifi does not works again.
After the following router reboot, the wifi Status Icon was still red, but now the tablet anyhow has Internet Access.
The Router cannot be responsible for that Problem, because i have a lot more wifi devices (Samsung Galaxy Tab2, Acer A210, LG Phone, Canon Printer, LG TV, Dell Streak 5, ...) in use, which i can Switch on and off as i like and all of them are connecting perfectly to my wlan.
Resetting the tablet pressing the pinhole, or give it a fixed ip-adress (even from the router) does not work, too.
Of course it is no solution to reboot my router every time the Acer A1-811 loss the wifi Connection.
I´m getting nuts...... does anybody could help please?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Looks i´ve solved it ...
Changed routers wifi encryption from WPA-AES-TKIP to WPA2-PSK and everything works well.
Thread closed as OP solved his problem.
