I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

Is anyone aware of an app to allow sharing of the phones data connection through WiFi on the HTC Vivid?
Is rooting necessary?
FYI: I'm not interested in AT&T's official data sharing as I'd have to change from my grandfathered unlimited plan.

Temp root your vivid and select option 8 ( Wireless Tether Exploit )...if you're successful share with us.
Looking to purchase the Vivid if it works for my scenario (WiFi Router). If I do end up getting this device and test this I will definately share the results.
Thanks for the info!
WIFI Tether does not work
I tried the WIFI Tether and it does not work when I had the Atrix they were able to modify the entitlement check to have hotspot access is this possible with the Vivid. Thanks
Hi Guys!
Has anyone figured out how to enable the Thrill to see Ad-Hoc networks? I am writing this form my computer which is connected to my Droid 2, but my friend's Thrill 4G can't see my network. This would be rather helpful, since he only has 200MB of data, and I have unlimited.
I'm sure it'll be supported in CyanogenMod, but I don't really want to put his phone on Nightlies. That said, if there is a good stable mod that can see Ad-Hoc networks, I don't mind helping him install a rom (we already rooted his phone).
Thanks for any advice you can give me!
I've been looking for a way to connect the Thrill to AdHoc network too. I don't think it can. The Thrill can only connect to infrastructure network. It can't tether off other WiFi tethering devices. If it does, I can use WiFi Router on my Tilt2 and tether my Thrill off the Tilt2.
Thanks for the reply. I eventually got it to connect to WiFi Tether. What's annoying is that Barnacle is the only application my computer can connect to, so I have to choose between the Thrill and the Computer, or use a wired tether for the computer.
I want to use my BB as modem for DS7 since I carry unlimited plan for BB. When pairing BB with DS7, my DS7 shows 'pair but not connected'. I click on the wrench icon and could not find any option to connect.
Anyone knows how to tether BB with DS7?
Thanks in advance.
Blackberries do not allow for internet tethering as far as I know. I just got rid of a Torch 2 a couple of weeks ago and there was no option for data tethering

Moving to General
It works with my XP laptop via USB after installing BB Desktop application. Maybe there's no app for tethering BB/DS7.
Does your specific BB explicity state it supports BT/wifi tethering?
If it supports wifi tethering, it must also be in infrastructure mode, android doesnt really support ad-hoc without additional modifications.
Generally those are the only methods for tethering one (non-pc) device to another, as wired ones generally require additional software. (iOS and apparently bbos like you stated does, android doesnt)
According to Blackberry support website tethering is possible with both USB and Bluetooth. It seems to be an issue with Android. My DS7 is TMO 4G model. I recently upgraded to Honeycomb 3.2 thanks to The Manii.
I also tried PDAnet tether but it didn't help.

What Blackberry are you using?
BB Bold 9650 from Sprint
Hey guys,
Is it possible to enable tethering without root? When I use the native tethering it just pops up a message that says to go to att.com/mywireless (but there are no options to turn it on there)?
Thanks guys, I need this functionality for work.
I'm on the 15 gig shared data plan and my tethering in available with out root I used to need root but when I changed to this plan it was no longer needed not sure if that was what made it available on my phone or something else. I will check the other phones on the plan and see if they also have tether available and let you know.

Hey, I have the unlimited data plan that comes bundled with direct tv, which I called and does not support tethering. they said I'd have to change to a non-unlimited plan that supports tethering, or get another device that has a data plan that has tethering, but the cheapest plan is 40 dollars a month for 2 gb of data. Does anyone know a way to root the phone (can send me a link) so that I can keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Or know some other option that allows me to keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Thanks!
Not sure of the status of them, but try out PdaNet and FoxFi ... The latter has been removed from the play store by sprint and at&t, but you can find the url in the FoxFi Addon description.
[edit]
Confirmed, pdanet is still a thing. One of the few apps I truly found worth what I paid for it.
Links and details
Tethering is part of the mobile share data plan.

This app works perfectly!! Thank you, NOTHING else works with AT&T's new unlimited plan except for this.
I can confirm Foxfi/PdaNet works via usb, without root. Install Foxfi (paid full version) on your phone and have PDAnet on your pc and attach via usb.

Hi
I am new and I have a question and a answer which probably is not the one you are looking for but you have to start some where to learn like you and me. My question is what is tethering without root. As for tethering I go to settings- connections- mobile hot spot and tethering and turn it on. Hope you don't mind a first day rookie bothering you and hope we can become friends here. Take care.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but rooting your phone will enable full tethering on this new unlimited data deal but it can be detected by att and in some cases att will automatically add a tethering fee to your bill if detected. However it's extremely hard to detect Android phones (and more expensive) so generally att pursues this more on Apple platforms. Just wanted to confirm my own understanding before I switch plans. If true, it's a win win for this community.

no root yet for the s6 active. but anyone interested in tethering i found a work around. dowload klink tether from playstore to run your laptop no root required. the app has simple intructions to get you going. once you have that all done now you can download a hotspot program on your laptop. i use connectify turns it into a hotsot so you will actualy be connecting to the laptop wich is running from your phone works fine. now you have free wireless tether. if anyone noes a easier tether option i would like to no foxfi didnt work for me as it did on other devices im currently running marshmellow on the s6 active
