Hi All,
Being new to this forum I just have to say what a great resource it is.
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to view a web page my xda always tries to connect via GPRS. It is definitely connected to my wifi network, but doesn't appear to want to use it Any ideas??? I've searched the forum and done all the things recommended that are appropriate, but I'm no further forward and am now at the ripping my hair out stage
Any help would be massively appreciated

ok, so thanks to all the brilliance here i'm fully rooted and loving life EXCEPT i still can't tether to my iphone with mywi. it is set to default simply broadcasting its little wifi heart out. as far as i know mywi creates a hotstop not an adhoc connection, anyone else have this issue?
answer
I saw that the question had many views but no responses, so i'll go ahead and share what i've found. First, as stated some where else in another thread the tablet doesn't accept adhoc connections. Sadly, i looked everywhere online and apparently there aren't any jailbroken iphone apps that support infrastructure mode wifi.
I did however find a site that claims to open android tablets to adhoc connections, does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Mark

A friend who just bought a NC last night is also having the same issue. according to the research he did there are no wifi tethering applications that broadcast in infrastructure mode, they are all adhoc, including mywi.
There appear to be methods involving editing some files and statically entering your SSID info and whatnot. I'll look into it further tonight after work and get back with you.
It's an Android shortcoming. There's a fix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961 but unsure if it'll work with our NC since we don't have a ROM dump yet. If this doesn't work worst case scenario we lose WiFi. And the dump is needed to restore the replaced file mentioned in the posted thread, otherwise a hard reset of the NC would be necessary.
Hello everyone,
I just received my Asus Transformer (WiFi Only) and wanted to connect it to my Nexus S portable hotspot.
The Transformer found the hotspot network and even connected to it but I wasn't able to open web pages or even sync my google account.
I tested this on 2 Transformer units, Galaxy S II phone and a Nexus One (with CM7 which also can't generate a working hotspot network).
After several tests I've discovered every ROM that has Ad-Hoc support behaves the same - generate hotspot network that you can connect to but can't actually use. Also tested all WiFi tether apps on Market - all beacon ad-hoc networks, which Stock Android 3.1 can't find&connect to.
I tested all Ad Hoc supported ROMs: CM7 latest nightly, CM7.0.3 stable, MIUI latest, Oxygen and SupeAosp8.6. Finally flashed a stock 2.3.4 ROM and the hotspot feature worked perfectly. Also tested it on both Nexus S radios (KB3 and KD1).
Would love if someone can locate and fix this bug...
Probably something in the wpa_supplicant file or with DNS resolving.
Thank you!
EDIT: A solution for my specific issue - Will allow Ad Hoc support on the Transformer.

Still won't solve the main issue when you have to root and add Ad Hoc support for both devices.
I also encountered this problem.
What I did was download an App called: Wireless Tether for Root Users
I would use it anyway because it tracks data usage and enables security options.

Thanks for replying.
As I wrote in the OP, I've tried every WiFi tether app on the Android Market, including wifi tether for root users. All uses adhoc networks which stock Android devices can't see and connect to.
what solves it for me is adding dns host ip on the client computer
it works fine when you do that
I use PDAnet for tablets with my TF - it works really well. You can download it from the market.

I've used this with several roms without any problems.

You used it to connect your tablet to a hotspot network generated from your CM7/SupeAosp8.6, Oxygen or MIUI ROM?

Thanks, we did it as well on a Linux machine for testing but you can't set static IP on Honeycomb... at least not on stock version.
Regarding PDA for tablets, reading the app description on the Market I understand it uses Bluetooth sharing and not wifi tether. Also, it clearly says it only works for browser, email and YouTube apps. Hardly a solution.
I'll work with a Linux expert today to see if he can solve this. If so, I'll upload the files here.

Yes, I misread your op, hands up; I'm guilty as charged. However, you should perhaps be a little less dismissive of people trying to help you. Also it may have helped if you had posted your question to the correct thread in the first place (that's hardly difficult is it!).

LOL did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
I REALLY wasn't trying to dismiss you... AT ALL!
Your solution will probably be great for many other people but as I mentioned in the OP, I'm looking for a specific solution for the WiFi tether, which is an option coming with stock Android and doesn't require users of any other apps or system knowledge.
As already mentioned, I'm working with a linux guy to check maybe he can make both things work - Ad-Hoc and stock Android WiFi Tether option.
If the XDA moderators think this should go into Q&A/General they can move it. I believe it should be here as it is relevant for all ROM developers here.

I agree with you buddy. I am looking for some pure soul that can develop a patch so I can connect my rooted Nexus S to an Ad-hoc wifi computer connection...

Hello all,
This is my first post and request for help, I apologise if this is in the wrong section and would gladly abide if anyone tells me what I've done wrong. Moving onto the problem, I would appreciate if anyone could provide suggestions on how I might tackle the problem.
Problem:
When I turn on my HTC One as a portable wifi hotspot, devices that try to connect to it will always have an authentication problem.
While it lists the number connected users on the HTC One, the device that connects to the HTC One does not have any internet connection or event shows itself as connected to the HTC One.
On the other hand, I know it's an authentication problem because I tried connecting it to a laptop and that's what the laptop lists the error as.
Extra: I am sure that prior to this the portable hotspot works fine. I doubt there’s any application I have that interferes with the functionality of the portable wifi but do let me know. If you think it’s a hardware problem then it should be under warranty. I tried connecting it to a Nexus 7 (2013), iPhone 5, and a laptop.
What I’ve tried: Turning on and off the phone, Turning of Tasker, Closing all programs I would really appreciate the help because I’ve tried searching for similar topics and have not found any.
Please help if you have any suggestion on what I could try, at least before I go to the phone provider to claim warranty or the likes.
EDIT: I can connect to the internet on my mobile data and I have 1gb of data allocated.
I posted this on reddit as well but as a new user, I can't put outside links.
I am having the exact same problem and its driving me wild. I recently had my HTC one replaced due to a fault and the new handset has this problem. I haven't tested it with any other devices but my Toshiba Excite Pro tablet.
hi there, I have successfully utilized my Nexus 6 as a tethering device for couple of months now. Recently I have noticed that certain websites, do not work and get forwarded to T Mobile Hotspot promotion page. It's on all websites , its a lot of forums that do not work. Is there a way around this issue?? if so please assist, all related feedback will get thanked. thanks in advance
