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.
Hi,
I am using JB CM10 and just wondering if there is any working solution for adhoc wifi?
Use connectify-me for pc to make a hotspot

Hi
Thanks for the hint but seems that my question was bit unclear.
As my tablet is wifi only, every now and then I would need to connect to adhoc wifi i.e. to a mobile.
So I am looking for solution how to connect to adhoc wifi. In mean while I did some searching and if I got it right CM10 does not support adhoc connection (yet). It works in CM9.
One solution woulb be to change my N9 to iphone as for some reason they establish wifi differently so tablet sees iphone wifi but not N9

Did you try 'Wi-Fi Direct' in the triple-dot menu in the WiFi area?
Hi,
Yes I have tried the direct wifi and also that does not find ac-hoc networks.
So most likely I just have to wait until CM10 supports adhoc connections...
Hi. I have X8 with FroyoBread on it. My bootloader cant be unlocked and I have stock kernel. When I want to make WiFi hotspot it just doesnt work ( no error). I suppose its because of my kernel or something. I had same issue on Gingerbread v30. Is there any way to fix this?
Stock kernel doesn't support WiFi support. read here
try Barnacle WiFi Tether, that works. I have used it before, but it doesn't support tethering to mobile devices. it works if you connect laptop/pc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Barnacle and like you said it doesnt work.
Barnacle does work but only allows others to connect to you via ad hoc mode. Only laptops and a limited number of mobile devices are capable of doing so. As far as I know it is not possible to set up the X8 as an infrastructure mode hot spot. Whether it's a hardware or a software limitation, I wouldn't know. Bottom line is - ad hoc is the maximum you're going to get.
hi guys. im new for this, i got old phone from my sister sony ericsson e15i and i wanna use for mobile hotspot. but i can find hotspot portable in menu " Wireless & Network " --> Tethering,. there only usb tether not wifi tethering.
can someone help me with this case, its use gingercruzt mod, 2.3 android. when i reboot there's clockwork cyanogend mod etc.
how can i tethering wifi from my phone? i try foxfi and barnacle its not work.
Thanks
Flash a custom Rom, GingerDx or something.
No other way really than the kind of apps you mentioned (Barnacle works for me). Try to find other similar apps and see if one works for you.
Also, keep in mind that your phone broadcasts in ad hoc mode only, and can only be "seen" by devices that support finding this connection type. Your average smartphone can't do this. Only laptops and some specific smartphone models can.
So, if you are using another mobile phone to find your X8, it's possible that your tether in fact works just fine even though you can't detect it with another phone.
If nothing works, and you really need this for some reason, try another ROM.
