I have searched tirelessy looking for a way to implement wireless tethering in AP mode similiar to how its done on 2.2 on the n1.
All the threads discussing it seems nvr come to a solution..
Can someone jus point me to the steps or a thread that has a confirmed working method of doing this will flash anything to get this working probably sell my soul while I'm at it
If only the wifi hotspot worked on the froyo2g1 port
Thank you in advance
also interested in getting non ad-hoc wireless tether on my G1. My brother has a new LG Optimus with the 200MB data plan that needs some of my GBs!

Does anyone know if this is possible? (a non ad-hoc wifi tether for a G1/HTC Dream
I recently bought a used HTC Hero(Sprint) and I can't get the device to be seen as a hotspot. When I turn on WIFI tethering it is ony detected as a peer-to-peer and not a wifi hotspot. What is wrong any help would be appreciated.
What program are you using for tethering? The app that seems to work best for us Hero users is Wireless Tether for Root Users. It isn't available from the market, so you'll need to Google search for it. There are multiple versions available, but the one that seems to work best is 1.60 for the hero.

That's the only way it works. Ad hoc only. Sucks if youwant to use a wii, but works with computers, iphone, etc.

I am using the 1.60 version of Wireless Tether for root users. My friend has a EVO and it does not pick up the signal at all but my work laptop does but admin rights don't allow peer-to-peer connection
then you might want to try usb tethering with easy tether or pdanet
I found version 2.0.5 pre3 test 3 at the google code site. I was able to get my hero into infrastructure mode with it. My DS still won't work with it but my laptop does connect to it as a wifi connection instead of ad hoc. I am also able to change the SSID with this version but encryption still does not work. Haven't had a chance to look into those issues yet.
Hello, I have a question concerning using wifi tether on other phones such as the G1 while I am using a rooted slide. My problem is it is not showing up on my G1 . It does show up on my nephew's Ipod, but not on my G1. Is there anything that I could do or that any one else is doing to make it work for them? I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance
Android devices can not connect to Adhoc devices, only full access points. wifi tether can only produce an adhoc connection, which is why other devices can connect to it but not other android phones.
Ok, thanks for your help.
Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?
haven't gotten it to work for me either.
I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?
You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.
Little Buddy Sr.
I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.
actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.
Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.
wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom
I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.
update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi
under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?
Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!
If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).
Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.

speedtest.net 10.25Mbps down
also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM
drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.
Using Revolt 1.5.
I've been Wondering for about Two weeks now, is it Possible to use Wireless Tether from one device to Another?
My friend Recently had his HTC Hero phone with him at my house, and to his Surprise he Wasn't able Connect to the Internet from his Mobile Browser. For whatever reason?
I Told him to Pay his Bill! Lol...
Anyways I came up with a Idea, which was to Tether My Phone with hopes that he'd be Able to Connect to the Internet that way.
But now to my Surprise, his Android based phone Never even Recognized the Tether signal!
But Strange enough my niece who was Also there, Tried with her Ipod Touch and Was Able to find the Tether signal and Connect! Lol...
So I guess I'm asking Does or Has Anyone out there have Any stories Related to Successfully Tethering from Mobile to Mobile? And if so, How?
Thanx in Advance!
its weird some roms can pick up an adhoc signal i used to do that with my old mt3g using a froyoyoshi rom. Im sure it can be done on the hero but no one has bothered to enable it yet.
