My roommate just got a wifi Tab, and I'm probably about to get one too. Unfortunately as best as I could tell, there's no way for it to connect to an ad-hoc wifi tethering hotspot from this phone using the Wireless Tether app that I have.
Since that doesn't work, how do I share my phone data connection with the Tab?

I've been searching around for a while now trying to figure out how to tether a wifi connection thru wifi hotspot without mobile connection. cm7 won't let me. everything i see is for tethering a mobile connection.
Stock ROM defaults to the wifi I've done it and even made a thread about it

CM7.1 (and I believe CM7) has a Portable WiFi Hotspot feature, it's in the tethering section of the wireless/network settings

Yes. I'm aware of the tethering settings in cm7.1, thank you. You didn't properly read my post. I want to tether a Wifi data Conncection over wifi WITHOUT HAVING A MOBILE CONNECTION. As in no 5g,4g,3g, or even 2g data.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood.
So you're basically trying to use your device as an external wireless adapter for a computer that doesn't have wireless built in?

to be honest...i'm having a problem with my landlord having a problem with my service provider. i'm using my neighbors wifi. but it only really comes into one room well. i'm hoping to use my device to extend the signal to the other rooms. it has no data plan. but CM7 turns wifi off when you tether over wifi. i think I've gotten this to work on my g1 using pdanet but its really unstable, and i think its the app.
I've tried Barnacle, Sprint Hotspot & WiFi Tether. Sprint Hotspot keeps giving me an Error message. The other 2 can't be detected by my PS3 scans. I've tried with & without password encryption & made sure my SSID was visible. Any suggestions?

Ive had the same problems with wifi tether not being recognized. The hotspot hack does work though but without 4G its like waiting for paint to dry

Funny, this has popped up in the forums for every phone I have owned. Why would someone want to game through a high latency, inconsistant cellphone connection? Trying to play in the motorhome on vacation?
If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.
Not gaming although I did play the Uncharted 3 Beta thru my Vibrant & it wasn't a problem. I just moved and have to wait for Comcast for like 2 weeks. Just want to watch some Netflix

I think what I read on Google says I need to be in Infrastructure mode or something. Idk... But the native wifi tether worked with my Vibrant so I can't imagine why it wouldn't work here.
Thanks for the help fellas. Happy Thanksgiving & all that

I just got my Nexus today, so I apologize if I am way off base here... but why not use the Tethering & Portable Hotspot function that is built into the stock 4.1.1 settings? Just to test it, both my wife's phone and iPad both connected to my tether, and were able to pull down webpages just fine. In case you didn't see it, under More... in the wireless & networks section, you will find Tethering.
If you're on Sprint, flash the tether.zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658288
This will allow you to use the built in tethering without needing to pay for the hotspot feature. You'll need a custom recovery.
I don't pay for any sort of hotspot feature. The FCC ruling forced carriers like Verizon to not charge for it, and fined them over 1 million bucks for doing so. http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/133810-how-everyone-benefits-from-verizons-fcc-mandated-free-tethering
I’m trying to find the best app to tether my tablet. I’ve got an ASUS Transformer Prime and it’s WiFi only, no 3G/4G so I’m trying to find the best way to share my internets from my Samsung Galaxy SII. I found this great app called FoxFi but for some reason I can’t just turn my phone into a hotspot and use my Transformer to connect via WiFi. I have to use a companion app on my tablet called PdaNet Tablet and it connect via Bluetooth! I don’t understand how it works, but it is very cool. The only downside is I can only seem to browse the web with connection. If I try to use the mail app or even access the Google Play store, it won’t connect. The only thing it will let me do is surf the net. Long story short, there’s a ton of apps out there, and without wasting my money trying them all I was hoping I could get some feedback here from people who’ve used apps with better success. Any input is welcome, thanks!

Sprint hotspot on touchwiz, WIFI tether on AOSP.
FoxFi, but I am still using EL29
PdaNet "free version" will not let you go into secure sites, you need to pony up for that.

Wifi Tether or Barnacle Wifi tether. Bother work very well.Wifi tether shows up on our Market so thats the way to go! I will say if your tethering to a computer Get a older version of pda net 3.0 It is unrestricted. You can get the windows install file too. Google it. You charge phone while tethering.

Some wifi devices can't see adhoc hotspots. Many tethering or hotspot apps can only go into that mode because of the phones limitations. The hotspot app that comes with the phone usually is infrastructure mode. Everything can connect to that. In simple terms, adhoc is like internet connection sharing from a computer. Infrastructure mode is like a wireless router. You could look if someone has a modified wpa supplicant file for the tablet if it can't see the phone. Then it will work. I had to do that to my old galaxy tab in order to connect to the net through the phone.
Yeah I went into settings in my E4GT, and there's a Bluetooth tether option that works great for my tablet. A little slow, but better than nothing. Thanks for the input everyone!
Which wifi tether app from the market are you guys talking about? I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and want to tether it from my epic 4g touch. When i search the market, there are a couple of wifi tether apps but I don't know which one to use. I am not rooted by the way. I just want to tether 3g/4g when I'm at work on my break because I don't want to use company's wifi network.
Foxfi
I've used wifi tether and foxfi. Only difference is u have to pay for the full version of foxfi. But wifi tether doesn't work on some versions. Worked on fi27 but doesn't on fk23

I see a couple of "wifi tether" name in the app store but which one of those are you guys talking about? "wifi tether for root users" by muller? "wifi hotspot/wifi tether" by innodroapps? "wifi tether" by pontente mobile? Also, for foxfi full version, it says that i need the free version first but i can't find that in the google play store.
WiFi Tether version 3.2-beta2

I'm not rooted. Is there one where I don't have to root?
Also, if I do root, will my phone still be secured?
wondering if there is a better USB tether app for ICS,
The team that made the wife tether, had a USB tether that worked great for Ginger Bread, but was never ported to ICS :|

I thought I figured out how to Tether using Bluetooth. I was interested in using this method -- primarily for my iPad 2 -- instead of rooting (which I already am) and using WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod which seems to work well.
I was able to connect my iPad 2 via Bluetooth and share my WiFi connection on my GN2. However, it doesn't seem to work when WiFi is off and I try to use 3G. I get this Error #67: Registration failure. Your data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again (see attached). If I turn WiFi back on, it won't connect to the router -- until I turn off Bluetooth. The I can connect via 3G or WiFi again.
I'm wondering if this is happening because I don't have the WiFi Tethering package with Sprint?
yes the Sprint tethering package enables both forms of wireless tethering. use open garden for Bluetooth or just use the wifi in the ****pad

That Open Garden app is pretty cool. Unfortunately there isn't an iOS version for my iPad... Oh well, I can use it on my laptops.
