The video demoing it on an Epic 4G (original)? It works for the most part as long as you don't need encryption or Infrastructure mode.
I think there is a new profile needed for Wifi Tether + some kernel work possibly.

BTW for those not rooted EasyTether does work with USB connection to Win/Linux/Mac. I'm holding out for an unroot method before rooting for WiFI so this is working in the meantime. The free version works for most things but you must buy ($10) to get https pages.

Can someone please elaborate on how to get wifi tether working? I have rooted succesfully and even enabled Access control in the app as John stated above but it still isn't connecting. What is the additional work that is needed? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

USB debugging I think has to be enabled also.

I have that enabled, still not working

Same here... no SSID being broadcasted.

I can't get wifi tether to work at all it keeps using ad hoc mode and my laptop never connects what setting do you guys have

It's only goign to do ad-hoc for now. I think there is either some kernel work or rom customization to support some of the Infrastructure mode features or maybe just a new profile in Wifi Tether since it doesn't recognize the phone currently and falls back to the generic profile.

How do you set that?

BUMP
Anyone have any luck with this yet? Ad hoc mode is useless to me. Need infrastructure/AP mode, please.

How to use Wireless Tethering for Root Users on Epic 4G Touch
After reading hundreds of pages on this website & others, here's what I've concluded after 12 days with my new Epic 4G Touch:
1. The entire Samsung Galaxy S2 series may be unable to broadcast anything but AD-HOC. However, if infrastructre can be achieved, I expect someone on XDA or Cyanogen to accomplish it within 30 days.
2. Most receiving devices (such as a notebook, netbook or tablet) can be tweaked so that they can recognize AD-HOC. It involves replacing the wpa_supplicant which is commonly found in your system/bin folder. Google your device name, AD-HOC and wpa_supplicant and you'll likely be directed to web pages with the solution for your device.
3. If you're trying to tether an Epic 4g Touch to an Acer A500 Tablet I have a much simpler solution for you: Root it and then install the Taboonay custom ROM which will instantly modify your tablet WiFi so it sees ALL available AD-HOC signals.
4. After trying nearly half the different version of wireless tether, I found thee WiFi V3.1 beta 6 to work flawlessly without changing anything on my Epic 4G Touch.
NOTE: Until this is a VERY stable custom ROM I suggest simply rooting, installing ClockworkMod Recovery, SuperUser 3.0 which is required by WiFi Tether.

I've been tethering with pdanet because I want to hide my tether usage. Does sprint ever send out warnings/ultimatums about tethering without their "service"? I'm only using 4g if that matters.

Been able to tether my laptop &netbooks with both versions of wireless tether that I tried. My issues arise when trying to connect my Samsung 10.1 tablet, the AndroidTether is not coming up as a internet option, has anyone gotten their 10.1 to connect to their epic touch4g?

ad-hoc support

Hi guys,
As the title suggest , is there an ad-hoc support for the gn?

any answer????

Openen Hotspot with Connectify
-Nokia E51 connects (with and without encryption)
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't even show the hotspot.
adding the network manually is not working either

i tired every app and method available with no luck
i think the solution is to add ad-hoc support

I think the default wpa-supplicant doesn't support adhoc. We need to replace it with one that supports. I don't know if someone has made/fixed it yet. Still waiting for it as well.

Ad.Hoc
did you manage to connect through Ad.Hoc? I cannot find Adhoc in my Galaxy Note!! Can we enable AdHoc on Note?

Also need to use adhoc but my Nexus doesn't detect any...

i will try tonight,as i has my laptop at my GF's house.and wont be there until tonight .
but yha. if nobody has posted til than.
than be sure to watch out for my post
Btw,did any one of you guys try wifi direct?
im kinda unsure what it really does.

Did some search in Google and previous NEXUS had the same problem some users were telling to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin but I think the one they where providing its not compatible with SGN.

As someone already said, I am not even able to see the an adhoc wifi network with my Galaxy Nexus.
My device is rooted but so far I did not find an easy solution to enable adhoc wifi.
However the same adhoc network works perfectly with an EEEpad transformer, so apparently the wifi client is already modified in the Asus tablet.

Has there been any update to this? Been searching this site and others and it doesn't seem like a wpa-supplicant file that can see Ad-hoc networks has been created yet.

I use Connectify - works pefectly.

Supposedly the 4.0.2 update should bring ad-hoc support.
I'm eagerly awaiting the roll-out... (Should have happened ages ago, but somehow it's taking quite a while to propagate everywhere.)
I suppose you could always go ahead and flash your own ROM, but personally I prefer to wait for the official OTA update.

I'm using a 4.0.3 ROM and before that had stock 4.0.2 and no ad hoc support was/is available. There is Wifi Direct which acts like ad hoc but that only works with other Wifi Direct devices.

Oh, Bother!
I was betting on 4.0.2 to solve this, but as you say, it appears that it's only the wifi-direct that frequently gets billed as 'ad-hoc-like' connection.
Is there any other way to enable ad-hoc connections?
Apparently on other devices there exist modified wpa_supplicant files that enable ad-hoc, but so far I haven't seen anything for the GN.

Unfortunately I'm running XP (yeah I know ) here at the office so Connectify won't work - no access point connections on XP.

any possible solution?

Use bluetooth to connect to your computer and share your internet connection with your phone.
I've tried it on windows xp.

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc Enabler on the market, it require Root and it works grate for me, now i can see and connect to any ad hoc connection.

Paranoid Android 4.2.2 (3.15) tethering

I've been using ParanoidAndroid on my Note II and recently I realized that wifi tethering does not work. The service indicates it is active but it does not transmit a wireless network name, so no device can connect to it by wifi. Bluetooth tethering works. I have tried 3rd party rooted apps and they indicate that the cannot run because ad-hoc mode cannot be entered. Is there anything I can do like change the kernel or some other mod or app that is able to run tethering? Or do I need to just wait for the developer to provide an updated rom that fixes this?

wifi tethering doesn't work
that's exactly what i'm getting too, error starting ad-hoc mode... hope this gets fixed :crying:

VPN Connection

Hi folks,
I have problems getting a VPN connection connected to a Fritzbox 7390.
Before I switched to the Galaxy S4 Mini I had a Galaxy S2 running being able to connect to my home router via VPN.
Now it is not possible to connect wit the S4 Mini?
Due to the fact that the S2 is running I think the S4 Mini has a problem here.
My S4 Mini Details:
- Rooted with RootKit V2.0
- Android 4.2.2
- Build: XXUAMG8
I also do not get any feedback from the device why the VPN connection is not getting established.
Does anybody has the VPN connection up and running?
Or does anybody experience the problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
NoFear

Did you try it on your S2 recently?
My telco here in Singapore denies all VPN connections when connected via the default 3G APN. But when you change the APN to the one used by 3G dongles for PCs, VPN connections magically work.
Not sure if its the case for your telco (could be a recent implementation) - you could try calling up your telco to confirm!

I used the Fritzbox VPN on my old phones, just remember that it needed a patch for the vpn to work, since the fritzbox has it's on special connections. Maybe that is not within your S4 version?
Sorry to just have a hint, but now using OpenVPN.

Yes i have a VPN connection from the s4 mini DUOS to fritzbox 7390 no problem.
No patch or something needed (android 4.0 or higher) - just select "IPSec Xauth PSK" and it will work.
Search at google and you will find instructions directly from AVM for VPN connection from fritzbox to an android device.

Upgrade for galaxy tab 3 Android version 4.4.2

I just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 Android version 4.4.2 I'm hoping to Upgrade to 5 or better. It seems that version 4 has a bug that breaks Bluetooth tethering in pdanet, so i am unable to gain access to the internet without WI-fi tethering which is eating up my free high-speed tethering data though metropcs. My phone is rooted and i have frozen my tethering provision and my tethering automation using titanium backup. That keeps them from seeing me tether 'great' Problem is in order to tether thru Wi-fi, i have to defrost tethering Provision which now they can see me. Pdanet says it's Android version 4. I have version 4.4.2
supposedly that bug is fixed in version 5 if i understand correctly.
Thanx in advance for any help or advice. by the way im using foxfi with foxfi addon on my galaxy lite and Pdanet on my windows 10 laptop.
