Searched and this is all I could find
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-ad-hoc-wireless-network-support/

This has changed recently. I'd like to add ad-hoc support for my phone but I know that support was removed from the Android kernel last January or so (at the request of the carriers of course). You also need to rebuild wpa_supplicant but that's easier. If I can get this to work I'll keep you updated.

[Q] Wifi Tether for your own phone??

Hey guys have a question for you. So wifi tether and sprint hotspot give wifi access to other phones, but it doesn't give access to the phone that is running the hotspot. Is there a way where the phone that is running the hotspot can also access the hotspot? This is really frustrating to me. Thanks in advance!

no... and why? kind of redundant isn't it..??

My guess is access to the network for LAN sharing among all the devices connected. Although that is rather redundant since you don't need internet to do than just set up a Bluetooth PAN or a VPN and then file share amongst the connected devices. Other than that I can't think of a single reason to try and connect your phone to its own hotspot since it already had an internet connection otherwise it wouldn't be broadcasting a hotspot

Ive found that while I am tethered, I am unable to use the internet. I was tethering my Ipad, then needed to do something on my phone and found it wouldnt refresh email nor open websites until I ended the tether connection. I think this is what the OP is referring to.

The engineering major in me chuckled a bit...to do that you'd need another receiver inside the phone.

That is exactly what I'm referring to

Why though if it's uploading downloading through sprint, casting through wifi with the receiver unused? It's like opengarden.com

Well I've never had the issue that's he's referring to, but It sounds like he wants to receive from something else..I went a step too far.

What he wants to be able to do is use the phone while it's broadcasting wifi.

T-mobile Tether block bypass for chrome book?

I have an unlocked galaxy nexus running Franco r364. I just bought a Samsung arm chrome book and it will see the nexus Wi-Fi hotspot but will not connect. It let me tether however for a while then blocked it. I have the unlimited data no tethering plan. Does anyone know how to bypass the tethering block or know how I can get the chromebook to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot. I've researched and found tether bypasses such as clock work tether that work for PC or Mac but not chrome OS anyone experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. Thanks in advance.

Use the stock teethering feature in android.
T-mobile doesn't have software blocking your device because it's not T-mobile firmware but rather stock google.
you need to enable teethering on your device.
verify that your APN TYPE in your APN settings says "default,supl,dun,mms"
that should enable teethering on your stock device.

Wait... Huh? I can bypass T-Mobile's block? Can you elaborate on this more clearly? I had to orkbot (or something like that) and PDAnet just to barely tether. It's slow as hell (1 gbs). Please help!

I think he's trying to say that you should use the stock wireless tethering hotspot function instead of a third party app. Also to modify the APN with the parameters he provided
Just for the record 1gb(p)s is not slow at all...roughly 800mbps

I added the "dun," in and my computer is telling that it cannot connect to the network. Am I don't something wrong? That's with the Wi-Fi tether. I can connect with the USB tether, but I can't access the internet. I get a message from T-Mobile saying, "Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile Hotspot! Share your smartphone's high-speed internet connection […]." I can't move beyond this webpage, either. Ugh. This sucks. :-/

Forget that comment, I'm stupid.
Just connect to it via your wireless adapter.

Using stock adjusted APN and it connects but when u try to browse it directs u to T-Mobile. Anyway around this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

The way they catch you is by the UAString. On their side, it makes it look like a desktop is using your data and hence the reason you get blocked. Not too familiar with Chrome OS, but see if there are any add ons for chrome that will change the UA String( User Agent String)

Yeah, they're not having that this year. Lol. Which plan are you using? The $70 unlimited plan?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk II

I got a family plan with unlimited calls and text. I had 5gb data with hot spot but they recently came out with the uncapped unlimited data and igot it because I knew I was rooted and could still tether. Guess they caught on because as of Feb 1st it keeps redirecting to T-Mobile. I can still get away with it on my ps3 though that's about it.

I too have the $30 unlimited plan and I can tether just fine. You are using the stock tethering feature right? Have you tried changing the uastring?

Forums typically require a minimum number of characters (chars) before you can post. 10 characters used to be pretty common, so people would boost their character count by adding "10char" to their post. Looks like 2 characters is the minimum on xda...

I have this problem too, almost. I have the Sprint variant and I don't get redirected to a site on my Samsung ARM CB.
When on any Jellybean rom, my CB sees the built in hotspot from the gnex but says it can't connect to it. Works perfectly on cm9.1, although only when the hotspot is an open network. I honestly can't believe 2 Google devices won't work together.

Switching to an Android use agent works
Since I bought a Samsung Chromebook in July, I had no trouble using my T-Mobile $30 5GB plan to tether to it . . . until today.
I was unhappy until I switched user agents to an Android user agent. A couple (Android 4.0.2 for Galaxy Nexus & Chrome for Android Tablet) different user agents did the trick.

[Q] Does the nexus 7 2013 support 3G/4G USB modems?

I'm looking for an inexpensive way to get data on my soon to arrive N7 since my phone plan doesn't include data and I plan to be on the road a lot next year.
Also open to suggestions one good ones if the answer is yes.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

why not just use the 3g connection of ur cellphone via wifi tethering?

Since you're going to be on the road, I'd suggest getting a Verizon mobile hotspot. Verizon is expensive, but you'll get the most consistent connection with them wherever you go. It's not USB, but the batteries last a while and you won't have a dongle hanging off your tablet. If you're in a car or hotel, you'll be able to keep it charged.
Also, with the hotspot, you can connect your laptop and phone to it. Just out of curiosity, your signature says that you have an LG-LS970, which is the Sprint LG Optimus G, how do not have data on it? I figured they would've required it.

Yes you can do it. Get a program called PPPWidget
You need to be rooted and you need a kernel that will support the 3G driver. I am using CM 10.2 with glitch kernel. ElementalX works too however I think you have to have Stock ROM or something AOSP based.
I have a Huwaei E303 3G dongle that I use. I think the dongle support is limited in these kernels.
Just used mine in Guam / Saipan / Tinian. It worked.

Thanks for the answers. I've been wondering this as well.

Gnex and 5ghz WiFi

Can anyone confirm the gnex will run on 5ghz WiFi? I'm researching upgrading my router and want to make sure all my devices will run smoothly. A quick google search says yes but on limited channels.

yes...works here with channel 36 at an avm router

Works fine. Certain places in uni I pick up 5 GHz WiFi networks and the GNex connects just fine.
