[Q] Wifi Tethering help please

I cannot get wifi tethering to work on my Droid 1 when running MIUI, stock froyo, or Cyanogen. I have tried Wireless Tether on all three ROMS, I can connect to the phone, but no Internet data is transferred. I'm currently using MIUI 12.3 and found that it has a built in wifi tether that also fails. Barnacle didn't work either.
From what I can figure out this may be either a kernel issue (I never changed it from stock, but MIUI may have its own?) or a problem with how I achieved root (superoneclick). I appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!

[Q] Getting NC to tether wirelessly

Anyone using NC to tether to a android phone?
So I only have luck with Nexus One, but HTC phones are not working.
It's connected to the wifi hotspot of my desire HD, but the wifi is white in color (connecting to my home wifi, it's green). I guess white means it is not connected to the internet.
I have searched around, threads talk about NC not able to see adhoc networks, and I tried, but it didn't work.
Anyone else facing the same problem and managed to solve it?
ROM: CM7-RC4

Most modern smart-phones can do an infrastructure tether, instead of adhoc.
What tethering app are you using on the phone? is it secured?
If your phone only supports adhoc, it was perm disabled in one of the recent nightlies but you can re-enable it. Try searching the development fourm for "Adhoc enable"

I'm sending you this with my Nook via wifi-tether on my Droid Eris. Both are running CM7...makes things easy peasy.

My Nook is running CM7-RC4. My Desire HD isn't rooted, still running its stock wireless hotspot application. Everything else can connect to my desire HD's wireless hotspot, except my nook.
@deadbot1
Maybe that's why it works on my friend's nexus1, it is running CM7-RC4 as well.

I do not know for sure, but you may want to look into rooting your phone and trying different Wifi tethering apps. My phone is by no means high-end (LG Vortex) and I'm using the WiFi hotspot widget, from the market, to tether to my nook.

Running Droid X with Teamblackhat 3g Hotspot patch. (easily findable on google) Tethering laptops, Nook Color, even a colleague's Iphone has worked flawlessly. Not sure if it's verizon exclusive though.

my htc hero is tethering just fine to my nook color. Im using the wireless tether app from market, might as well just root your phone.

No problems tethering to a Droid 2 Global running Fission ROM and using wireless-tether for root.
NC is running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks testing rom (latest plus customizations.)

No problems tethering my nook with my inspire

I tether all the time using MobileAP. Built in tether function on froyo and up. SGS Captivate here. Won't work with apps like android tether. They use adhoc.

I tether off my evo as my nooks only source of Internet.
Sz rc2d.

Oh well, still unsuccessful in finding a non-intrusive solution for this.

I'm using a Nokia E72 with the JoikuSpot application which creates an ad-hoc network and getting mixed results. It was working on the train earlier but now it's failing to find the network. I'm using CM7 RC4.

Pretty seamless with google nexus s to tether wirelessly. That is sure to change when gayTT takes over.

I also tether with my Evo. Works great.

I figured with all the people who managed to tether, it could be a problem with the wifi hotspot app that HTC has bundled with their stock rom.
The weird thing is while clearly browsers, market don't work, gtalk & gmail still works.

I am unable to get my nook connect to an adhoc network broadcast from Ubuntu. It used to work fine under Windows but now that has stopped working as well. What settings are we supposed to use? Ive looked around and all people say is "create an adhoc network and connect to it"
Im running Honeycomb v4 on the emmc of my Nook Color

I am running tether from my droid 1 which only does ad hoc. The original wpa_supplicant on the nook can only read infrastructure. Don't remember where I found the one I have, but it works pretty well.

I'm interested in getting my wife's Nook Color to work with my HTC Hero. What version of wi-fi tether are you using? Have you done anything to the Nook to get it to work?
Thanks.

[Q] How to make wifi tether work with 3g Tab

So my rooted Tab comes with unlimited 3G connection, tried several wifi tether apps from the Market and my HTC Desire Z doesn't seem to detect it. Is there a compatability issue here?
Hopefully I can get it to work so I can save money by being able to use wifi tethering from my Tab to my CP. Thanks

Google wifi tether and got this, hope it helps.

Tried the Google wifi tether app, it installed fine and seems to be working but my cellphone(Desire Z) still cannot detect any wifi signal. =(

I think that PDAnet will also work fine, if I'm not mistaken.

[Q] tethering

Has anyone sucessfully tethered their NC running CM 7.02 with an android phone? I can not get them to connect.

Yes. If your Android phone is rooted, you can use wireless tether (free in the market). Depending on your phone, you may be able to tether via bluetooth as well. I use my Hero CDMA as a tether daily for internet as well as navigation and data transfer.

I'll second wireless tether, I have my Thunderbolt running wireless tether & my CM7 Nook connects without a hitch. I've heard Verizon is blocking wireless tether though, so you might have issues downloading it from the market if that's your carrier.

[Q] Wifi Tether not working???

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.

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.
