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.

Thanks for the replies. Finally got it to work! =)
Here is my current issue, is it possible to set manually the apn used for the hotspot? Using a tethering app won't do it as then it would be an adhoc connection, and those are disliked by most gadget.
Btw, the whole problem is that the apn Android uses for hotspot is different from the one I set for 3G connectivity, and that's quite expensive...

Hi all
I have problems to get my SGS2 to tether wifi to use on my Tab 8,9"
I use miui rom and DK 2.4.3 KERNEL on my sgs2 and i know andriod wifi tether is not working on this miui rom. So i use Barnacle wifi tethering.. This use to work fine on my laptop.
But on TAB 8,9 i cant find the Barnacle wifi.. Only my home network shows up!
The Andriod tether shows up then using that. But it want get connection to www
Therefore i use BARNACLE.
Help!

Anyone having issues using any wi-fi tether apps from your phone with this tablet? I get "connecting" and "obtaining ip address" when trying to tether with my nexus s 4g (rooted) but i can't get them to work. The same tether apps from my phone work for my laptop but not this tablet? I can use the bluetooth tether with these same apps but the wi-fi tether doesnt' connect. I guess my questions are:
1. anyone else having this issue
2. if so, is connecting bluetooth from the tether app slower than connecting using the 'wi-fi' option
THanks in advance for this!

Go check your nexus s 4g's tethering mode. Some phones only work in the ad-hoc mode instead of the infrastructure mode, and most of the tablets don't support ad-hoc mode. PC normally supports both modes.
I am having issues. I create a hotspot using my s3 but my nex7 can't connect with a password or not. I got the Bluetooth tether to work instead. Using the FoxFi app and I'm not rooted for either devices.

Works fine with my I9000
Try changing the wifi hotspot name in Foxfi. I could never get Foxfi to work with my S3 and Windows 7 laptop using a password. Without a password it worked fine.
I ended up getting SVTP Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether for my S3 and now I can connect with a password to my laptop.
Will be getting the Nexus 7 tomorrow so I'll check out how the SVTP works with that.
Nexus 7 doesnt see my phone's wifi broadcast
Using a rooted HTC Rezound to offer up the 4G...my iPads find the broadcast in seconds, laptops as well. Nexus 7 has yet to find it. Tried different channels, different settings, different wifi tether pgms, still nothing. My phone apparently cant seem to connect via bluetooth properly either, tried foxfi/pdanet. I dont care about the iPad having network access, its a paperweight after my nexus arrived, but I would like to be able to use my nexus on the road/at work/etc. Any help would by spectacular...
I had absolutely no issue using FoxFi off of my droid bionic to my nexus 7. It initiated and connected within seconds.

This happened on prime for a few firmware versions where ad hoc tethering connections wouldn't work. The solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438297. It should work for nexus 7 also. Make sure to follow instructions and set permissions correctly. It should work instantly. No reboot required.
Edit: might need some adjusting. Since i just looked and saw nexus 7 only has one wpa supplicant file in /system/bin , a complete swap might do the job. Of course rename and backup the original wpa supplicant file. Set permissions correctly on new file according to op of that thread. Post back of it works or not.

The iPad can connect to an ad hoc network, the Nexus 7 can't. Most wifi tether apps are ad hoc so that's why it won't see the network. You need to be able to tether with infrastructure mode to get the N7 to see the wifi network. If there is a hack to make your Rezound's stock hotspot app work, that would be the best way to tether to your N7, because it would be infrastructure.
using Foxfix here from galaxy s3 to nexus7 without issue, blazing faster than my WiFi connection at home..4g LTE rocks, hope the next nexus smartphone will support LTE speed

have you consider tethering throught Bluetooth? I used that with no issue with my rooted Nexus Galaxy to my Nexus 7.
Just so you know, my wifi tethering work too.

My phone doesnt support the bluetooth PAN...I think I need to follow the other instructions. Im really new to this, so hopefully someone can hold my hand.
I'd be surprised if the N7 didn't recognize adhoc networks. When Asus put out the TF101 it initially didn't recognize adhoc, but the first software upgrade fixed that. As far as I know all of the Asus tablets now support adhoc. Doesn't make sense that the N7 would not have that capability. - sheureka
Just got my N7 today at work and luckily I can tether with the stock WiFi hotspot app on my HTC wildfire s. For some reason no one can connect to the WiFi at work so tethering is all I have at lunchtime.
I'm able to connect to my rooted e4gt using wireless tehter with no problems. N7 is 100% stock.

Then or also paying $20 to use the internet u already pay for? Not knocking u just asking because if your on Verizon no WiFi or Bluetooth tethering will work without paying the fee
My GNex tethers just fine with the N7. Bluetooth tether sucks however. Connects and stays connected but does not work with anything except the browser.
I managed to tether through wi-fi and bluetooth. Try using a CM7 RCA rom, or something off of here if you like. The built in features for 2.3 and up are great for tethering over wi-fi. Just make sure the rom supports it now since Im using CM10 and for right now wi-fi tethering does not work. Best of luck to you.
I see alot of people talking about the Wifi Tether some working and some not. So is there any way to get this working I have tried all setup that people have offered with no luck. Are there any working ROMs with the build in hot spot working...
There was a zip file I use to get it working on my htc evo lte
Wifi Tether works just fine. It works as an ad-hoc connection so you have to set up the laptop, tablet, or other phone to use an ad-hoc connection.
EDIT: there are vids on youtube that will show you how.
wifi teather work great.. no hotspot is not hacked like on samaung devices,, i running Tranquil rom.. in the app i have device profile set to generic ISC/JB (wlan0) checked.. then wifi driver reload checked...MSS clamping checked.. Routing fix checked.. and all is well
You just have to set it up properly and it will work.
Guys, and OP, I had wifi tether working, then it stopped working at random. Had to wipe everything and not restore to fix it. Not sure if there's a better way, but something somewhere got messed up.
