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.

WiFi tether, anyone gotten this to work?

I have just rooted my E4GT.
Installed WiFi tether.
I cannot seem to get it to work. My Gtab 10.1 wont recognize it all. My laptop will show it under wireless networks but won't connect.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you talking about the Sprint Hotspot app? It's working for me.
The sprint hotspot app works just fine for me!
I havent test using 4G but i guess it doesnt work.

On the Galaxy Tab 10.1 you will probably have to change out the wpa supplicant file. Use root explorer to do this. Be sure to go into airplane mode before you make any changes. Go into system/bin (make sure its marked r/w) rename the original wpa supplicant file just in case you need to revert. Then replace it with the modified supplicant file. Make sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original. Change back to r/o, take it out of airplane mode and you should be good.
Try this one

It's working fine. The reason your GT10.1 won't recognize is because it is broadcasting an AdHoc network, rather than the EVO's infrastructure network. It's a pain but there are ways around it. All you need is download a ROM with the AdHoc tweak (such as the Overcome ROM for the GT10.1) or tweak the wpa_supplicant file yourself.
Thanks for the replies.
This is WiFi tether from the market i am talking about.
Any one have insight into why i can't get to work with my laptop. it shows as a network but will not connect.
Thanks

Use wifi tether beta 6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
So does it work with the latest beta for infrastructure ?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yup! It's working on PhantomHacker's Starburst v1.5 ROM like a beauty I'm using the included kernel (the one that is embedded in the ROM).
It's the Sprint Hotspot app. Works wonders for me!
Has been working fine for me since I downloaded from the market (Wifi Tether) after rooting. Stock ROM
On wifi teher is it infrastructure or ad hock using the latest beta please confirm please

No, I pay for the native Sprint Hotspot because it never fails. Once 4g gets hacked, bye bye $30 a month. For Wifi Tether, 3.1 beta 6 is great. Here's that one...

How to connect Galaxy Nexus to 802.1x secure networks?

Question says it all, it's been a bit bothersome not being able to get on my school's Wi-Fi network when both my old android phones (OG Droid and Dinc) could do it just fine with the use of my schools Wi-Fi app.

Maybe the app isn't updated for ICS yet?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
There are a lot of variables when dealing with 802.1x. Make sure you have the correct EAP method and Phase 2 Authentication. Also, have you imported the certs if they are using them?
yeah the app has definitely not been updated yet but I can't get it to work manually either. The guy who wrote the app said he'd look into it but it's kind of a backburner project for him. My friend is a systems administrator here on campus and he gave me all the authentication and certs stuff but I still cant get it to work. any other thoughts?

Tethering but the other way around

I can't find an answer to this question.
We have a very fast ethernet network at work and a very slow wifi network and poor 3g speeds. As a result dropbox backups take ages.
Is there any way to get my phone to use my PCs internet connection when it's connected by USB cable? I know I'll be limited to USB 2 speeds but that should be a big improvement.

It is possible with bluetooth, if your computer have that.

If your PC has a wifi card, you can turn it into a wifi hotspot natively using Windows 7. You can also use 3rd party software if you are on XP.
Once you have the hotspot set up, just connect with your gnex.

I'll have to borrow a laptop and try that. Shame there's no way of just using a simple cable!
I wonder if the wifi network it will be ad hoc and therefore may not not be visible to ICS. I'll try tomorrow if I can find a laptop.
In the meantime, if anyone can think of a cable method.......

[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..??
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
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. :-/

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

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.
