So basically what I want to do is this. I'm currently in a situation where the hard internet line to my pc doesn't work but the WiFi does. Is there any way I could connect my phone to my pc with usb and have it tether the WiFi connection? I know I could use data, but I only have a gig so would like to avoid that. Tried searching around but not really sure to look for.
Thanks!

You can try to disable data on your phone to be sure it won't use your data and try to tether the WiFi. I have no idea if it will work

Try clockworkmod tether manger program. It uses a USB connection to of and a gateway system to connect to it. If the internet connection going to the phone is WiFi it should work. You do have to install the gateway program to your computer though but its a small program

I've tried installing two different wireless tethers and neither one wants to work. I'm rooted with stock rom. Any ideas/suggestions?

You sure its not working?? Its a adhoc connection and most tablets wont pick that up. My desktop sometimes wont either but to fix that i have to switch my wifi on the desktop off and on then it sees the connection

which rom are you using? i had that problem before when i was trying wifi tether hack apps but i download a rom that actually had the hotspot hack which allow to use the sprint hotspot and that worked like a charm.
i also suggest you to try using ( Hotspot hack ) posting on the development section.
i hope that helped
Thanks guys. I'm using stock rom. When I had my evo, it worked like a charm.

I am having the same kind of problem; wifi tether does not work. I was on rooted stock rom, then Calkulin 1.5a. On the client side, I tried Ubuntu 11.10, Window XP, both detected the ad-hoc device, but just could not establish connection. I am using the hotspot hack, which work without issue.
I'm on add ROM with sprint hot spot and it works perfectly.

Exact same problem for me to. It work on my EVO and now I have a ET4G rooted. The wifi tether stable and beta do not work.
Any ideas?
Thre developer is aware and hopefully going to fix this for our phone.

" Infrastructure mode, unlike ad-hoc mode, allows multiple devices and devices that don't support ad-hoc mode to connect to the Wi-Fi access point spawned by the app, so it's definitely something we want. I've also asked about getting infrastructure mode on the*Epic Touch 4G, which uses a newer Broadcom chipset, to which Harald replied "we will see." Fingers crossed here."

I use wireless tether from the market and works great. I know on a past phone I had to create a folder on my SD card called android.tether with a bin file in it. I don't know if that is why mine works or not.

If you would have read the entire thread you would know that we tried it and it did not work.

You guys that can't get wireless tether working, look and see if you have a folder on the root of your sd called android.tether, let me know if you don't.

I'e been trying to get reverse tether working on the our phones and i've tried a bunch of different apps on the market, and searched around but i cannot seem to get it working.
Has anyone have any luck on getting reverse tether working via or getting the S2 to connect to ad-hoc wifi networks?
take care
edit:
forgot to add that i'm running AOKP jellybean build 1 which i'd like to add is an awesome rom
What the hell is reverse tether?
Either you use your phone as a hotspot or your phone connects to a router.
there are software for the PC to make your PC / Laptop WiFi act as a relay, so you can get internet via your laptop WiFi hot spot

He's talking about having your phone plugged into your computer and getting the internet that your computer is using to function as the internet on your device.
my windows mobile phone did this by default. It's pretty handy when you only have an Ethernet device with no router.

I believe there was an app on the market which allowed this to happen.
But OP have you tried bridging your internet connection to your wireless card on your computer then creating an ad-hoc network and connecting your phone to that? If set up properly it should work. That is if your computer has wireless nic.

thanks for the replies.
I'm on a linux based computer so those windows programs will not work.
I've tried the ad hoc method however, the phone doesn't seem to see the ad hoc.
I've read in few places that android does not support connecting to ad hoc but then i've also read that aokp does support so i'm kinda confused

There is a tweak you have to do to get android to recognize the ad hoc network. I'll try to search for it.

Is there a way to get my data FROM my PC as opposed to providing data to my PC?
I fly sometimes and there is in flight internet. Yes I can connect from my device but them I have to disconnect my computer. Instead I want to be able to plug in my USB and get the data from the PC. anyone know how to do this?
When I had and HD2 there was a great connectivity app in wm6.5 that allowed WiFi in and wifi or Bluetooth tether out, or USB out. Etc. Anyone know of such an app?

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.

Hi
Can anybody steer me in the right direction. I have a nx7 2013 I want to connect it to a WiFi network but it won't connect, just goes from connecting to saved, help desk won't help, so I thought if I can get my phone to connect to WiFi network I can then connect my tablet to network through phone by setting up WiFi hotspot ( think this is right). I have never set up a WiFi hotspot so am a newbie at this can anybody help or know where there are some simple instructions. Thanks

As far as hotspot goes, I don't think you can get it through wifi. It has to come from your cellular data. Just be aware that you will be using your phone data. Do you need directions to set up hotspot? It depends on your device and your carrier. On GP devices, it's under wireless and networks>more. It should be somewhere in network/wireless settings. When you activate it, your device will generate an ssid and a passcode to use for connecting devices.
However, your tab will use its WiFi to connect to the phone's hotspot so if that works, I'd say that you either typed in the wrong security code on your N7, or your router needs a reboot-even if every other device connects to it.

Hi thanks, the WiFi network im trying to connect to I have no control over or access to router etc. I thought / hoped I could connect phone to WiFi network then connect tablet to phone so tablet is connecting to WiFi network through phone, is this possible.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
As I stated, I don't think that's possible as the hotspot is run through the phone's modem. Have you tried connecting to a public wifi such as Starbuck's, McDonald's, your grocery store or other?

I've found that it happens--possibly ip shuffle--which is why I suggested rebooting router. I'm assuming other devices (your phone, in particular) are successfully connecting to this wifi.

Yeah other things connect just my tablet which is the one thing I want to connect, looks like I'm stuck as unable to reboot router and the companies help desk are no help, thanks anyway for your help.
