please make making a tethering app and wifi router a first priority in for the wp7... developers
Moved to general.
wifi tethering
Anyone seen any option in the HD7 to share data wireless as could be done on the HD2?
The Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 can do it by going into diagnostic mode.
Hopefully someone will find a way to do it on the HD7.
I';d love to see this as well. I used it all the time on my HD2
also waiting for this kind app
i heard the 3 big telcos in US have already blocked the android apps, for tethering and router...
i think they will not allow for WP7 as well...

Hi,
I have been trying to find a way to enable Wi-Fi tethering from my G1 to my PSP. I have tethered to my Xbox no problem but the PSP cannot see the hotspot when tethering is enabled.
I have learnt that this is because the PSP only uses infrastructure mode for Wi-Fi connections, and Ad-Hoc (which the G1 uses) is only used to connect to other PSP's.
Unfortunatley I don't know too much about the nuts and bolts of Wi-Fi networks so this might not even be possible, but can the G1 run as a Wi-Fi tether in infrastructure mode? If not, why not? im genuinley interested in learning more about this and software development in general.
I imagine the demand for a program to enable this would be pretty high, to be able to have full wi-fi access on your portable gaming systems, no matter where you are would be fantastic. When i had previously asked on another forum about using the G1 to tether my Xbox I was told the connection would be too slow for gaming, that is nonsense, so please don't let that put you off.
Many thanks, and looking forward to your feedback and opinions.

Very true bro, 2mbps is nice and stable for online gaming, i used to do it with my PS3 2 years ago.. I know abit about wifi from long ago, its highly possible if the wifi hardware on the device which will send out a infrastructure ssid is like a routers wifi hardware, the trouble is, i'm sure mobile vendors don't want to let out harware info for software makers to make such software or else other standalone wifi portable devices will decrease in price and mobile phones with wifi would be very open to security attacks and fast to considering wifi speeds, also theres other technical glitches that could make it hard to creat a stable application being that not all mobile networks offer proper subnet masks or dns addresses, the list goes on........!!!!
Hello.
I'm trying to connect two wireless devices (HTC hero with a WM device or PSP for example) and I want to do that without an AP.
As far as I know that's possible with AD-HOC network, but wireless tether on android seems to only share internet and not just create a wireless network and since I don't have data-plan it doesn't let me tether.
I'm basically trying to create a walkie-talkie or a messenger app
So... is it possible to create and AD-HOC connection on my phone (not for the internet)?
Thanks in advance.
couldn't you just call (walkie talkie) or sms (messenger) the other wireless device?
Sorry but that was a really dumb reply.
The purpose is to make free calls and send free messages if you haven't figured that out already and even though I'm not going to be actually using this, it's interesting to try and I could also finally put some use to my PSP.
Also it has to be *specifically* wifi.
As far as I know the Nintendo-DS supports something like this. Is that true?
I thought of this aswell.
Could be very usefull!
Hey all,
My ultimate goal is to take my motorola droid, and connect it wirelessly to my nexus one using wireless tether. I dont have verizon so it'd be sweet to piggy off of my nexus and have virtually two phones.
My problem is my motorola droid, nor my gf's stock evo can see the wireless network I create in wireless tether. However, laptops and both of my roomates iphones can see it.
I also created a wireless network on my droid but then my nexus one cant see that one. Is there a problem connecting two android phones together over wifi? what am I doing wrong that other phones can see it, but not android phones..
Other ways to tether?
Thanks!
The network you're creating is Ad Hoc network, which is different from Access Point network that is provided by WiFi routers. Phones might not be set for recognizing and connecting to such network, at least it looks so from your description.
Understanding that, it leads to another point in my question. Why can iPhones connect to those wireless access points that my android phones create?
It doesn't make sense that you cant connect android to android. There must be a driver or something that I'm missing or some other app I may need to install.
Any other ideas?
Googled some, found official Ad Hoc request thread:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3b250c94811ca5df&hl=en
Over 2 years now. There is a way to enable it, but I guess it didn't find its way into custom ROMs yet.

This is the most startling thing to discover about my phone... How can the iPhone trump me on this one and do ad-hoc
Android WiFiTether lets you do tethering over bluetooth as well. Would it be possible to take one android phone with the internet, pair them by bluetooth, and share that way?
I need to set up my Laptop to stream my mother in law's funeral from Canada to the UK. The location does not have internet access so my plan is to use my Nexus One's wifi teathering abilities. The question I have is it possible to use two Nexus One's linked together some how to increase the amount of bandwith I have available? It is really important that the link not drop out, I am fairly certain that it will work with just one phone but if there is some way to increase my chances of success I would like to try it.
Thank you in advance for you help.
Both phones are running cm6
This isn't really the right forum to be asking this question. Android will tether with any OS configured correctly to use it. Your question has nothing to do with Android though, it is about getting your laptop's OS to recognize two USB network adapters (which shouldn't be a problem) and setting up your OS to use the two interfaces together. I would ask in a forum about networking or your laptops OS for the best chance of a helpful reply.

This is for Windows. I'm not sure if it is even possible to do this with a Mac
Should be easy as enabling both phones for tethering. Once both connections are verified by the computer. Go into network connections and right click on one of the networks. There should be an option to link the connection. Do that and you might have increased bandwidth.
EDIT: I just tried this and it worked fine. I saw no speed increase in my internet. Although I have a 6 meg download, so maybe if my internet was slower.....
If it's important that the link not drop out, how about USB tethering?

I used skype and tethered my phone to a net book and had my best friends wedding broadcast live to his brother in iraq while connected to edge, you should be fine with one phone with at least two bars
When you have 2 internet connections, you need an application to split traffic to allow you to utilize their bandwidth. By default, everything will go through only one connection, and the second will be useless.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I should have 5 bars on HSPA where I will be, but I wanted a backup option. Will try having one phone on USB with the other on Wifi and then linking them. I usually get 4 meg down and 1.7 up, if it's not enough I can buy a HSPA+ internet stick and put my sim card in it.
Thanks again
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

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.
