i recently installed wmwifirouter on my phone so that i could turn my phone into a wireless router via my 3g connection. after installing it though i havent been able to connect to a wifi connection like i was able to do previously i was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. i've tried uninstalling wmwifirouter however it hasnt been completely uninstalled and i still can't connect to wifi locations. i was wondering if someone could either help me get rid of wmwifirouter or help me to use it properly so that i can have it work like the program is supposed to and also use my phones wifi when i'm not using wmwifirouter.
I tried the router but it is slow and a battery killer.
Do this - write this text to the manufacturer support of the Wifi Router. I'm sure they'll help really fast their customers - it is a way of keeping business running - just by respecting the ones that buy their stuff
i've contacted wmwifirouter but they havent responded so i'm wondering if someone on here could help me because i would really like to have the ability back of using my wifi again
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:

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?
Folks at XDA, for so long now I have been in awe of your expertise and today I must pick your brains....
I have HTC Portal on my Hero, and as I am getting a little sick of the tiny keyboard for texting etc, was wondering if it were possible to:
Create an Ad-Hoc network on the phone, connect my iPad to it, and use HTC Portal to send messages etc without removing the phone from my bag.
I have wireless tether for when i want to share my Data connection with the Pad, but what about the other way around?
When it was connected like this, i wouldnt be interested in any internet transfer, just a link....
any ideas? ive had a google about but with no joy
not sure if this would work but try this
thats the software that ive got, but i want to create an adhoc network so i can tether the phone to the ipad and control it without a router..... it seems there isnt a way to create an ad-hoc network with the phone
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.
