O.k., let me apologize if this is a repeated post. I really did not want to do this, but I am desperate!
I know that the forum mods frown upon repeated posts.
But, I have searched everywhere on this forum and on Google!
I recently grew a set of grapefruits rooted my Cricket Sanyo Zio (running 2.2) and my ViewSonic G Tablet (also running 2.2 rooted with 4349)
I downloaded Wireless Tether to the Zio; didn't work!
I downloaded Barnacle to the Zio. Seems to give a WiFi signal. The PC's seem to detect it, but the G Tablet doesn't!
I then looked at a couple of youtube videos and downloaded all the necessary stuff (nvflash and gtab.Century.Eyes.rar) on the G Tab, risking turning this machine into a $300+ paper weight!
Still doesn't do it!
Then, I noticed there isn't an custom ad-hoc for Zio on Barnacle.
Could that be the problem or did I just didn't do something right on the G Tab part?
Help much appreciated.
I don't know about the G tab but barnacle has worked flawlessly for me with everything I've tried to use it with.

With wireless tether go into settings and change to wpa-supplicant instead of ad-hoc and set a 13 character wpa key. Also set an SSID name. Connect to Wi-Fi on whatever you want to tether.

Nope. Didn't work.
FORGET IT!
Once again, let me apologize!
I did not realize this was a forum for people that are already born with the knowledge of Android hacking and tricks and that speaks this constant techno babble!
I think I will cancel my account and go else where...Better yet, I'll just get rid of the G Tablet and stick with this big clunky Windows laptop!
It is obvious in this everyone-for-them-self society, you cannot help with one simple little task!
DON'T WORRY! I WILL NOT LET THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE ASS!
BTW: TELL YOUR SPONSORS TO QUIT SENDING ME SPAM E MAILS!
Well good bye! I offered a solution. My tether works perfectly with wpa.

Wow. You can tether COD over your phone? Hot damn that's a good speed! I get crap over here. :'(
Yea its actually not that bad lol

Yeah, well I envy your speed brother. As for the tether, I don't think nothing can be done besides hardware check and phone positioning. There might be something out there that, if installed, would make your wireless access card run more effeciently with the rooted wireless tether program, but I'm not sure.
However, in your search you DO find a solution, let us know! I'll be having this Hero until a dual core comes out, so I got plenty of months ahead!
Will do

I think he's already using it. He has that DroidX Sig
Hello everyone I have a question for you. My roommate is talking about getting an Iphone with At&T and though I have tried as hard as I can to convince him to get a droid instead he is determined. But he does want to know if the Iphone can make a wireless hotspot after its been rooted like the android phones can. I believe it can do Tethering but I'm unsure about hotspot. any help you can give me would be wonderful! thank you
Yeah you can jailbreak it and then download an app to get free wireless hotspot. Tell him you can't though so he buys an Android phone.

I'm going on vacation in a week and I'm gonna be bringing tab with me but its wifi only so I'm trying to use my iphone to tether my tab to. The problem i'm having is my tab will not discover the iphone when I have MyWi enabled. I even tried replacing the wpa_supplicant file and it still will not discover my iphone. Can anyone help me with this issue please?

And why are you posting this here???
Please use Q&A in future.
Read this
this should go in Q&A, not dev.
that being said, here's what i'd try.
reboot both the tab and the iphone.
try turning off WEP or WPA if you have them enabled, and see if your tab 'sees' the network then.
make sure you don't have any other tethering programs installed, like PDANet or whatever. they may creating a DHCP conflict.
failing all of that, then try installing pdanet tablet on your iphone (i know they have it for android, i'm assuming there's an iphone companion). try tethering through that, and see if that works.
This is a development forum.
You are asking a question.
There is a Q/A? forum.
1+1=2.
To be slightly helpful, if you have pushed the supplicant file from this post and it still wont work, than I got nothing. Everyone else reports this solution as functional.
Sorry for posting here, I didn't realize i did that I thought I was in the Q&A when I was typing it up.

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to connect my phone to my laptop and use the internet, when I plug it in I see the option for "internet connection" but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the help
Search "tether" and you will find what you are looking for.
There's 2 options. You could use wifi tether. Wich u have to search Google for. Or u can use easy tether which is on the market

But if I use wifi tether. Won't I need to.be connected to a wifi network? I want to use my 3g/4g connection. If there is wifi connectivity, I could just connect my laptop to that, I wouldn't need my phone?
Thanks for the clarification

No you need wifi tether it creates a hot spot but requires root

Wifi Tether will be included in the next GingerVolt also. I am trying to find a way to get it to have certain settings automatically, but no luck so far.
With ur USB tether share switcher works really well for me. Just add the widget and click on the usb

Ouch!! I just slapped my forehead really hard.
Good answers gentlemen, as always.
In our themes and apps section, there is a thread "wifi tether, not mine" there is an app that works perfect for me. I have thought about dropping ATT for net, and just using Verizon for surfing at home. That would save me 50 dollars a month. Downfall: I have an awesome phone that can do that, my wife does not. So I would have to retire, and live at home and write best selling books so my phone could always be here to make a connection to the net for my wife. Boy.. that would be... terrible.

Yeah that app used to be in the market but was quickly pulled, so now Google just posts it there.

Your provider may require you to pay a fee. There are likely folks that can get around paying.
I did try "easy tether" when I found that the rooting process damaged my tethering setup. It did work well for an hour to two, until my provider found me and throttled me down to dial-up speed. "Their support guy enjoyed my story and admitted the same thing happened to him once too.
Has anyone found a functional wireless tethering method? Or do any of the roms listed in the development section have tethering enabeled? Ive tried wifi tether several different versions with every setting combination and cant get it to work. Shows devices connected but no internet connection

Google's WiFi Tether app is a must-get:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Set the Device Profile in settings to LG Optimus S
I leave my Setup Method as 'Auto' and have no problems tethering a number of devices. Many people choose to set theirs to Softap. IMO I've seen no difference between the two so try both and choose which one you think works best for you.
Thanks joey but ive tried that setup and it will show connected but no actual internet. The main device im trying to connect is a wii.

I don't have a wii to test, but I've used the tether for rooted users to connect my computer and Kindle Fire with no issues whatsoever.

My Wireless Tether app was doing that same thing. I think Verizon does something on their end to block it.
You can use "Open Garden" from the Play store. It works. Used it this weekend.

Open garden works well. The only problem i could see was if the Wii doesn't like ad-hoc networks as tje tether apps I have seen are all Ad-hoc

Ill give open garden a try tonight and see if its wii friendly
