G1 connecting to another G1 tether?

I have 2 G1's both are running cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1. One has a data plan, and the other does not, is there any way to connect the non-data G1 to the other through wifi tether? Every time I try, it just doesn't show up as an availiable network to connect.

Ask Google about enabling ad-hoc mode. Or you could tether through Bluetooth PAN:

I didn't try this, but both approaches should work.
Do you have some knowledge on unix systems?

I do remember hearing about Android not being able to connect to any ad-hoc wifi. I am not aware of anyone being able to do it.

Then now you are ;-) Many people use ad-hoc mode, there are plenty of howtos in the internet.

I've done it before... I use the WiFi tethering app available through Google Code. The project is Android-WiFi-Tether (sorry, I'm too new to post links). I don't know what app you are using to tether, but check the settings to see if it's got the SSID hidden.

but have you been able to use wifi tether to share the phone's connection with another Android phone? I've never had to, but I do remember hearing about problems with it. Then again it was a while ago and things could have very well changed.

Yes, I have been using that exact version of wifi tether. Iphone, samsung, and blackberry phone can connect, but no matter what I try I just can't get the g1 to even see the connection. I have changed the ssid, enabled WEP encryption, and even changed the channels to no avail............I guess it just wasn't ment to be LOL. I can't even connect using the bluetooth PAN option either

Ehh... again, from the beginning...
It is possible to use both ad-hoc and BT PAN on G1, but they are not supported officially, so you must do some hacking. Wireless Tether for Root does it for you, but it can start server only, not connect to existing networks and I don't know whether there is an app which simplify that second task.
You could try to find some app or howtos about doing it manually - through hacking. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of them in the internet.

Finally...
I would like to thank everyone for the help, I finally got it done, I just had to edit some settings using the terminal. If there is anyone else out there wanting to do the same as me, just search for ...How to connect to Ad Hoc networks using Tmobile G1 Android at hydtechblog"dot com"

Newest CM (5.0.7) sees and connects my Ad-Hoc network normally! :-D

yet another reason to get the nexus one, but then again mine does now too LOL

So the client phone can be hacked to be able to recognize and connect to ad-hoc, but this generally requires root access....... correct?
I have been unsuccessful at getting my wife's non-rooted Eris to my rooted Droid.

Yeah, exactly
Also there are patches floating around to add ad-hoc support (to connect to them like to normal AP networks), so maybe some roms have it, but most (all?) of devices just can't use ad-hoc on original rom.

I would have just used wired tether...
Never had a problem with ANY android device I've connected to my g1.
I just like to keep things simplistic in specific situations...

[Q] internet sharing from a WM6.5 phone to Android tablet?

I have an HTC touch 2 running WM6.5 with a custom rom. I use internet sharing all the time with my laptop (running XP) while at work. Much cheaper than the stupid dongles
I am looking at getting an ePad tablet pc running android 2.1 or 2.2 for Christmas.
My question is: can I simply turn on the internet sharing on my phone and plug the usb into the new android tablet; and will android pick it up as a generic internet sharing device like my laptop?
If not is there an app that will allow this?
I prefer to use the usb cable while sharing the connection as it keeps my phone charged up at the same time. If this is not possible will I be able to share the connection over blue-tooth, or will I have to resort to running a mobile WiFi router app on my phone?
Thanks
Daz

I'm really surprised that I have no replys to this?
Hasn't anyone tryed it yet??

Quick google search turned up a few ways to make this happen. I for one always used MyWY for my IPhone and used it as a wifi hotspot for my ipad when i had both of them. I'm seeing that you can of course do this with your phone and an android tablet also. If you do not want to use the "hotspot" option and just use the wifi on your tablet to connect to your cellphone to use the internet connection, you can do one of the following instead:
bluetooth using PDAnet (from what I've read) and you can also use the USB connection to tether the two for use of your cellphones internet. I've found nothing that states this is the case for ALL tablets though. From what I see, a lot of the tethering options out there that people are using require you to install a driver to use your cellphones internet connection with a PC/laptop with an USB cord. So using the USB might be hit and miss in this case.
I would look into the wifi hot spot option or using bluetooth. The only drawback to this is the battery usage on your cellphone is going to be HIGH.
I'm not sure if that is of any help to you at all man. It's the best I can come up with right now though, sorry. I hope you get it figured out

I'm using Archos 101 and HTC tytn WM 6.1
I had the same concern for my new bought Archos tablet. It can't pair up with my WM 6.1 and therefore I'm seeking other ways to solve it. such as finding software to let my WM6.1 act as a Wireless router so that my Archos device can connect to it as normal Wifi connection. Hope someone can give advice to this post. thanks.

WMwifirouter should get you guys going. I guess if your phone will connect via usb to the tablet that it will get it's power via that but I can't imagine that the output USB power is enough to charge the phone over it's discharge rate. I guess I mean to say that you will extend your phone's battery life but it will still drain while connected.
That's all I can offer.
Oh HTC has a wifi router app that was free on my last phone...well free in the NRG romz.

I'm still using my WM6.1 Smartphone but carry an Nexus 7 Android Tablet around, too. So I decided to couple them!
Setup was easy:
1. Connect devices via BT
2. Share Internet Connection (WM Smartphone)
3. Use Internet Connection (Android Tablet)
4. Enjoy!
It's similar to using the connection on Ubuntu: http://www.serkey.com/ubuntu-intern...-between-windows-mobile-and-linux-bejgbv.html

Any app out there to get internet from your PC? Opposite of phone tethering?

Hello everyone. First let me explain that I have a capped data plan since I'm surrounded by wifi besides work.
Now here is my question. On my old tilt and tilt 2 which were windows based were capable of getting internet from simply plugging them into a PC via USB. The phone would then use internet from the computer itself.
I have a galasxy s (captivate) . Are there any apps to do such a feat?

I might have completely misunderstood what your saying, but could you not turn the wifi on from your phone and connect to them?

Wifi is not allowed at my work. Sorry should have said that.

i hope you are using windows 7 on your laptop...if you are,then download 'connectify'...its easy to set up and will turn your laptop into a wifi hotspot so that you can use your laptops internet connection on your phone... cheers

Its possible
It is possible. But there is a but.
It is a standard feature of HTC sync.... To connect your device to your laptop and use its internet connection.
So....I guess someone have to extract that functionality and pack it into something that works on all devices...
I use it quite a lot.. And I have removed sense from my revolution rom with a script from desire forum.
Good luck

hey all!!
Even ill like to know abt it!

but as soon as i bridged those connections my cablenet gets disconnected and doesnt connect back!!!
so would like your help guys!!!
Gaurang

sounds like usb tethering?

I would also like a solution to this.

Did you even bother to read the original post?
We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.

[Q] Ad-Hoc Wifi

I'm trying to connect my Note to an Ad-Hoc connection. I'm sure there is something obvious I am missing for why I can't see the Ad-Hoc connection from my note 10.1 but can't figure it out and didn't see anything here.

I posted my solution in another thread here with same topic. Refer to it. But the FoxFi app is the solution to this. Google the apk because it was removed from marketplace. Install it on phone. Then install foxfi add on, on phone, that's in marketplace. Then you should be good to go. Tablet will now pick up your tethering signal. Root is not needed either(for phone or tablet). App works great on pure stock. Works fine on my pure stock SG3.

I'm not really looking for a tether solution. I can tether to my phone just fine. I specifically want to know if there is a way to get the Note 10.1 to connect to and ad-hoc network for another reason. I do presentations and sometimes. Often I can do them right from the note using the All-Share Cast Dongle, but sometimes (due to issues w/ Dongle working with certain adaptors) I have to have my laptop connected to the projector and want to control it with remote desktop with my tablet. I want to do this without relying on my host having wifi I can use. So I need ad-hoc connectivity to connect to my laptop directly without having to lug around a wireless router.
On another note, out of curiosity I tried FoxFi and it doesn't work on my phone anyway. The built-in (stock) tether app works great and is all I need.

Lopk for a wifi direct type program for your laptop or try bluetooth dun. Type connection. Pdanet could ne a solution just not sure. Some type of device to device metwork is needed .if your laptop has iis there could be a solution in it.

Hi!
I want to ask you: Have you solved this?
I also need to connect to an ad-hoc.
I've read: on some other android devices they root and replace their wpa_suplicant. Does anybody know if it is also possible on Note 10.1 ?
Sry for my english...
Thx

Never did get it to work. I'm on stock without root and just being lazy. Accomplished my task with a $20 wifi router.

[Q] macbook with phone Ad-Hoc connection!

I am on stock ICS and in order to use an app called TouchOSC on my atrix 2 to control a DJ'ing software on my macbook pro i need to wirelessly tether my phone to my mac. So for this I created an Ad hoc network on my macbook and tried connecting my phone to it. i couldnt get that to work since my phone refuses to connect to the ad hoc network everytime. however i am able to set everything up perfectly when i am using a router to connect both my Macbook and the phone. But i cant carry the router everywhere so i need an On the go solution so for that its important to get the adhoc connection working.
any solutions?
PS: i have heard i can get it to work after rooting, but the success rate is really low. what can I do?

Anyone?

I will be honest, I have several macs at home, and I have never been able to get the a2 to work with ad hock wifi, but blue tooth ad hock networking seems to work ok for me. I can both share the internet connection on my macbooks, and I can even ssh to and from the macbook pros to the phone and back.
Not sure about the apps you are using, nor what they use exactly, but if it is just IP or http or similar the blue tooth connection should work.

I believe ICS blocked ad hoc connections, I read somewhere u can modify WPA supplicant, but I didn't look into it too far...
PS doesn't work on win or Linux either

Yeah it does... I have used both linux and mac os, but have not tried windows. Bluetooth tethering as I mentioned works well, and I did not have to change anything to make it work. Now technically you are correct that wifi tether does not work well with ICS, but, as I mentioned I have been using bluetooth without issues, and since most macs have bluetooth out of the box, it was one of those things to try out. My linux home box also has a bluetooth receiver on the MB, and I have tested it there as well. It was sort of trial and error to get it all setup right, and I do not remember what exactly I did, but I have been using it without issue for months now.
P.S. I am still on leak one, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I have found several things that do not work on the OTA still seem to work with leak 1, and why I have not updated to the OTA, and I never will.
