I want to tether from my android phone using this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
nexus 7 will not detect the ad-hoc network. any work arounds?
Not a Nexus 7 issue. Its your app settings
Set your device model to "Smdung Galaxy Indulge" in the tether app
Then change the next option from "Auto" to "Softtap (master) " or something like that. I don't remember. But it worked for me.

I'm afraid the issue is on the Nexus 7 side, as discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787680
Hi everyone, I am a galaxy nexus user from Indonesia. I just bought this device yesterday and overall it works fine.
Anyway i have tried to transfer some data from my gnex to my friend s3 by using wifi direct but sadly its not works. The s3 could read my nexus and keep trying to connect to it but did not success. I also tried the android beam and it happened the same. Does anyone know the solution?

SIII uses the NFC action to initiate a Bluetooth connection.
JellyBean uses the NFC action to initiate a Wifi Direct connection.
Hopefully when the SIII is on JB they'll do the same.

So i guess the ICS direct wifi also use NFC action then because i am still on ICS 4.0.4.

Hello i have a sprint galaxy s III and i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering a sprint phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook will not work, Netflix won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!
Well I`m using foxfi and it works very well for me. I`m living in uk.

I tried out foxfi today for the first time. It seems pretty good, but I would like to here others suggestions as well.

That doesn't really answer the OP's post though. FoxFi doesn't look like a real internet connection to all apps though. Is there another app that does any better?

If I understand this right your wanting to connect your N7 to the internet via your G3, if so cannot you just use the mobile access point on the phone, i have the galaxy s and my sister has the S2, both have this options in the settings and once set up and turned on acts just like a wireless router, select it and enter the password on your N7 and your away.. works well on mine

I've never tried it, but how about PDAnet?
Foxfi Wifi Hotspot no longer works on my nonrooted Droid Bionic. I can only tether via blueetooth, which doesn't allow all of my apps to work correctly. Does anyone know of a Foxfi alternative?
My Foxfi works fine on droid x to my nexus 7. I don't know what you're talking about not a real connection....
Check it out though, foxfi is definitely awesome.

I have not been able to successfully connect to my 5ghz network on either my S3 or Nexus 7. I have pc that connects to it no problem. So does my ipad.
Anyone know of a fix for this? Perhaps an app I can use?

I've done a lot of research and I'm aware of foxfi able to do this by enabling the proxy built in but will only work when I a ice cream sandwich Rom or later.. To my understanding jellybean rid of this useful feature to become useless.. Is there any workaround anyone have that works.. I can't even get the Internet sharing from my wired note 2 to pc to share out to work.. It sends out a ad-hoc signal which I've read that ps3 don't read.

Yes you can Wifi Tether. You must be rooted though and install a custom ROM. Go over to ptmr3's JediX or Jedi Master ROM over in the Android development section and give one of those a run! CM10.1 works great as well (i find that AOSP ROMs have faster USB Tether speeds).
You can tether your Wifi Connection to a USB Hub on a Desktop (Not sure about PS3) and it will work fine. 4G/3G works great as well!
I can't seem to get it to connect the best thing I can have it do is use foxfi and it will see it but won't have a Internet connection thru the ps3
