Wifi tethering without internet - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

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!

Wireless "Router"

I have yet again another question.I don't want to sound like I'm completely ignorant as the person who asked how to listen to FM radio on the Tilt/TYTN II (Looks like dutty(?) made it possible though with the assistance of a FM headset or whatever.)
Anyways, I wanted to find out if it is possible to make the Tilt essentially act as a router. I don't think the Tilt/TYTN II can "broadcast" internet through wifi through its' 3G connection, but hopefully I'm wrong. Currently I am tethering it so it won't let me search the forum. Say's something about security issues but that's besides the fact. I tried searching a few days ago but I couldn't find anything useful. I tried ICSControl and that was no help.
Thanks for any info!
This is worth a try: http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
Seems to work well in my experience, though only as an ad-hoc network rather than access point. Great if you want one computer to connect to your Kaiser's internet (3G/HSDPA etc)
One word
WMWifiRouter
I've tried that before but it didn't seem to work.
it seems to be the only one maybe it was a settings issue you had
I've been using WMWiFiRouter and seems like a great tool for sharing the Internet to the friends while on the road.
It work flawlessly for me.
Cheers!

WMWiFiRouter works, but you have to remember is is working as an AD HOC router, not as an access point.
Some devices won't find ad hoc routers, like the PSP. So in those situations you are out of luck.

wmwifirouter support

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

AdHoc Network Creation

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

I guess this is not tethering

Hello folks,
I have an wildfire and don't have 3G data access.
I only have a hotspot account from some carrier that offers plenty of hotspot in the city. It's convenient enough.
So I have Wifi account and is it possible to share it? So some other phones and my laptops could access the internet through my wildfire wirelessly?
So, in short, I have wifi access to the internet and would like to share it. I guess tethering is not doing this. Do you guys have any idea?
Best,
Matt
Google Pdanet
should make it possible to share wifi through bt or usb.
haven't tried it though
Godspeed
jesper
Thanks for the reply. Should try.
Meanwhile, for the tethering available on google code, will this support sharing Wifi connection?
Or anything else does?
Matt

Tether Question?

I've been Wondering for about Two weeks now, is it Possible to use Wireless Tether from one device to Another?
My friend Recently had his HTC Hero phone with him at my house, and to his Surprise he Wasn't able Connect to the Internet from his Mobile Browser. For whatever reason?
I Told him to Pay his Bill! Lol...
Anyways I came up with a Idea, which was to Tether My Phone with hopes that he'd be Able to Connect to the Internet that way.
But now to my Surprise, his Android based phone Never even Recognized the Tether signal!
But Strange enough my niece who was Also there, Tried with her Ipod Touch and Was Able to find the Tether signal and Connect! Lol...
So I guess I'm asking Does or Has Anyone out there have Any stories Related to Successfully Tethering from Mobile to Mobile? And if so, How?
Thanx in Advance!
its weird some roms can pick up an adhoc signal i used to do that with my old mt3g using a froyoyoshi rom. Im sure it can be done on the hero but no one has bothered to enable it yet.
