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
what i want to do is to use an external wifi connection that my android phone is receiving, on my pc. in other words, the phone would work as a wifi adapter for the pc (because i dont have one in my pc). i tried usb tethering, but it lets u use only 2g/3g connection, not wifi.
any app which can do this?
Hmm normally it should work with wifi too.
Try to deactivate 3g while you're tethering.
Otherwise try apps like pdanet or another one but I forgot the name.
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
your talking about reverse tethering and yes flussen is right just turn of mobile networks and it should work and ive seen this done using wired tether 1.4 from google.
ok, it works with data connection turned off.
Ok, I've been looking around for a couple hours now but people aren't understanding my question/dilemma
I am currently using a goWIFI connection on my tablet, I'm only allowed to login with one device at a time. So I am trying to share my xoom's wifi, not data connection with my phone so they can both be using the same wifi connection
I do not want to share a data connection with my phone, I want to share the wifi connection with my phone. How can I do this? FoxFI only seems to share data connections.

And you have tried putting your tablet in airplane mode to shutoff you mobile data connection?
Are ypu on a custom ROM? I have never tried it but some seem to offer turning your tablet into a portable wifi connection, might be the backdoor to tether your phone that you need
I dont have a data plan right nnonow for my tablet, its only running on wifi as it is. I have already disabled mobile data in settings. I am running EOS 3 build 134.
I am just looking to share the current wifi connection instead of a data connection.
So I have a new Razr HD and I've rooted it and done the hotspot hack but when I connected my computer to the phone to use the internet it drops my data for 5 seconds. Once it comes back as soon as the 4G LTE symbol turns blue it will drop again and it repeats this until I disable wifi on my computer. Wifi tether and USB tether all have the same results as the hotspot app. Does anyone know what could be causing this or what I can do to fix this. I have 5 bars and it NEVER drops unless I've connected a computer to it. I have unlimited data and it's an employee account (relative) so I really don't see what the hell is the issue.
Problem fixed:

I'm using PDANET+ for USB tethering and it works perfect, and wifi tether Trevor mod for wireless tethering. No more throttled tethering. No more disconnects. The factory hotspot/tethering still drops my 4G.
Hey all!

At the laptop the only thing i do is Remote Desktop to another computer, using a static IP from the noip.me site.
