[Q] Kernels for the r800x (tethering, specifically)

How far are we from seeing wireless tetherable kernels? Is there a reason we don't see them already? Anything I can do to help? Hope there is a solution soon!

I have no first hand experience (yet) but I thought that Android Wireless Tether worked, you just needed to tell it you were using a Nexus One or some malarkey like that.

You have to set it to ad hoc mode as well...my xoom can't detect it when I do that

i have wireless tether working just fine on stock kernel

wireless tether works fine untill you actually use it...te device thats using the connections gets rdirected to a verizon page prompting you to buy the tethering service. I head this was at the kernel level which would make sense, because my DX, OG Droid, and thunderbolt all tether no problems witout the redirct.

No, it does work, as long as you are rooted, set the device to nexus one, and use ad-hoc mode. Any other configuration redirects to verizon.

There was an article about verizon Wanting to charge for using their wireless tethering service... So you either pay or you download an app to do it... It requires a root phone though. I'm with rogers and tethering works well.

Yufice I made a post on general on how to work around it. I meant it when I said it works fine for me. I guess I was the only one that knew of a workaround untill I asked zero to post in development for me and test it out to make sure it wasnt a fluke that I got it working.

This set-up doesnt work on my R800x. To get it to work I have to set the devise to a CDMA device. If I set it to a GSM devise I cant connect to it. So if anyone else is having an issue getting it to work on the r800x try setting it to a CDMA devise.

I have mine set to nexus one and it works I tether daily

I set the latest version 3.0 beta 5 or whatever to device profile droid X(CDMA) and it works just fine. The only caveat is that limits you to WEP encryption so be sure to use mac filtering.
Cheers!

Do you get to use access point with this configuration, or only ad hoc?

I think its ad hoc only because it doesn't show up on the wifi list when I do it on my xoom.

It should support infrastructure, but it works fine with my transformer so I don't know.

^this, PLEASE
I'm on a verizon r800x rooted and I desperately want to use wi fi tethering....for free!
I've tried every combo with the app "Wifi tether" (the main popular one) with regular phone models and "CDMA" models (supposed to be the ones that work) to no avail!
It always clocks in like .4 kbs of data then stops...and then verizon pop up comes up if i try to access internet through the phone....and computer can't even connect to the hotspot
any tips/advice?

can you go setting by setting what you do to get it to work?

WiFi Tether Compatible with PS3

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

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

reverse tether?

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.

How can I link my SG3 to my router?

I've put my wife's SG3 on a tether plan and it's working great. What I need to do is connect her phone to my home router (which is NOT connected to the internet) so we can access our wireless printers and the internet at the same time.
Phone is stock AT&T - no root.
Can anyone help?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Couldn't you just use your phone as a router? You can connect up to 5 devices I believe when tethering is active.

The phone can act as an access point but AFAIK it can't act as a router. I need ro access my wireless printers. Right now I can access the phone but I have to switch over to my home network to access the printers. This is a real pain.

Wouldn't you be able to print via laptop if everything is linked up to the phone? As far as I see it, there's no way to hook it a router that uses a ethernet cord.

Tethering Not working...

So I am using Straight Talk ATT... and I realize its against all terms of service and so on...
But it still should work. so far I cant get the APP wifi tether to work or FoxFi says its not available for ATT Nexus 4.
What are you guys using? on any carrier

Use the one built into android...
settings > (under wireless & networks category) more > Tethering and Mobile Hotspot
There are also plenty of widgets in the market that will allow you to use a quick toggle.

Using the setting directly through android doesn't work for some reason for me... My computer never seems to connect

Probably drivers if you're using USB tether. Try Wi-Fi.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

That is WiFi... Also tried USB... It connects and gets an IP but no data is transfered. Its sending and receiving but not actual data is working

Try doing it with Open security, change the SSID and if you are using Win 7 make sure you select a profile (home, work, public) it will take a few seconds before it will work even though it is connected and assigned an IP. Also try it on something else, it make be your computer and not the phone.

Also, I find it odd that it only shows up as an Ad-Hoc Network? not an actual AP like normal

Hmm, I'm have the same problem with my Nexus 4. I'm with rogers and I used the sim from my Galaxy Nexus in my Nexus 4. Using the built in tethering Wifi and USB works on my Galaxy Nexus, but the on the Nexus 4, devices can connect but no data is transferred even though data is working.
The only thing I can think of is because I'm using the rogers LTE APN on the N4 but the normal APN on the GN.

Could this be caused by the straight talk APN that I am using? I am having he same type of situation. It connects but no data is transferred.

Time to change your user agent on your browser or set up network data encryption on your computer
On the OP's Topic, I also have the issue where I can connect but no data is transferred. Still trying to figure this out, this is the first phone where it has not worked for me.

I found it where if you connect and reconnect, it'll eventually work.
It is a bit buggy how it works but it does work somehow. Just keep trying!

Add "dun" to your APN type.

Tried adding dun and still not working. Any other ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

if you tether LTE plan, will you get LTE speeds on the other connecting phones? or just the original host LTE phone

so anyone else have Straight talk and get this to work?

I had the same problem (with T-Mobile), adding "dun" as mayastig suggested did the trick.
Specifically, the APN type for epc.tmobile.com now reads "default,supl,mss,dun".

Sorry to be off the straight talk topic.. don't know about that but I am on the $30 tmob plan.
I just really need to tether maybe twice a month and I can't see spending $15 on that. My question is, of I do it using fox will tmob find out and ban me or something?

So you did this on a T-Mobile prepaid plan and you were able to achieve tethering without T-Mobile cutting you off?
