any internet connection sharing tweaks for this baby?
nobody likes tethering charges
There's an app called WiFi tether that works like a charm over both wifi and bluetooth. The developer is an active member in the Dream Application Development forum. Root is required though.
You can also get the next cyanogen build, which is said to include usb tether functionality.
I'm currently on mattc 1.5 and everytime I turn on portable wifi hotspot, the system restarts itself.
So anyone has tried out this feature on other builds?
I hear it doesn't work on any. It. Also hear that some of the tethering apps wor.

yeah, i think NONE of the builds are having it working now..
yes, thats the only thing which isn't working. all other features are working very well.
i hope the wlan router will work in future by an update
thx for the developers!!!
I have other tethering applications working, such as WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS.
Then again, other in-market applications exist that serve the same or similar purpose. Also, the wired, USB-tethering works quite nicely...
Hopefully the Wi-Fi Hotspot issues are worked out soon!
WIRELESS TETHER FOR ROOT USERS should also not be working. It uses the same data tables as the built in hotspot. I've tested wireless tether on my two builds and it does not work.
wifi tethering its working !!!
step 1
install pdanet on pc
(cant put link cos im new-google it)
step 2
install pdanet from google market and istall it on pda.
now connect the usb to pc and Complete the Installation.
I am wondering if is there any chance to share internet via usb/wifi/bluetooth? And do not pay for some application? Is there some possibility??
I use "Wireless Tether".
It doesn't work for me. It just do not theter.
Barnacle WiFi Tether us tethering app.
Maybe, You can use it, but it only support WiFi.

Yes I have universal androot.
regarding internet connection sharing...
Hi there pfulop...
Like the other users suggest, WiFi Tether is your best bet at the moment.
Have you got "BusyBox" installed..? It is a system resource that once installed has no user interaction but is essential to have installed on your phone for a lot of droid apps to work correctly. Just a thought as no-one else has mentioned it...
Good luck with your debugging... It can be a real pain !!!
Stay Breezy & be Lucky...
Peace...
FYI : Be sure to research all Apps fully before installation (you dont want to brick your phone because of impatience or ignorance of important info).
I was looking for the same thing, found this thread and it seems to be working.
I used the SuperOneClick program to root my FlipOut, then installed Barnacle Tether.
After enabling the "Skip wpa_supplicant" setting, it seems to work fine.
Since I'm planning on using it in isolated areas anyhow, security isn't a big concern.
Thanks op et al.

I use wifi tether (available via google code, the market claims it wont work on flipout) and it functions just fine with root for me

I have noted that Wifi Tether has many versions, it often depends on your model to see what version you should use. If you google "Wifi tether" you will get access to the google code page of the app. I have used version 3.1 beta6 on some phones successfully, you might try it out on the flipout.
BTW, as stated above, the market version is often not the best one.
So all of our phones with Wifi hotspot features create an ADHOC connection which Honeycomb does not support. Same goes with Bluetooth, no DUN. Google what the hell? Ya ya,carriers this and carriers that but what about people paying for hotspot features on the phone. I have customers that I need to setup to pair with the TF but it seems nothing will work without rooting and that can be phone specific. So the TF is great as long as you are close to a WIFI connection is supports?
If I'm missing something someone please fill me in.

Are you rooted?
Are you simply pairing or using another app on your phone?
Can you run through your connection steps?
Thanks,

But why would they do this knowing what the phones support?

I am using the hotspot feature on my Evo, and I've been tethering to it at work since the day I got my Transformer. I'm not doing anything special, just turning on the hotspot and letting the TF connect. Now, my Evo is rooted with a ROM that "unlocks" the hotspot functionality so I'm not paying extra, and I'm not using the Wireless Tether app, but it's the same concept.

The hotspot feature on your ROM is supporting a true wifi connection and not peer to peer adhoc. I can't always root customers phones.

I may be misunderstanding how it works, but this isn't a wireless tether baked into the ROM, it's the built-in Sprint hotspot feature that I'm using, just unlocked so I don't have to pay extra. If someone was paying for the hotspot feature on Sprint, they wouldn't need root, but maybe this is only the case with Sprint's implementation.
i was able to do both wifi and bluetooth tethering. took me a while to figure out, (since i've never done it before, less due to the difficulty of doing it)
assuming the phone supports Bluetooth tethering, it should always work.
I have a DroidX and I can tether using the built in stock Hotspot feature or with Bluetooth. However, I can't tether using an ad hoc connection because I get an error stating that the device doesn't support ad hoc connections...
So, it is definitely device specific and it will be something the carriers remove as many report being able to do so with root (my device is rooted and I can't connect via ad hoc - although, I haven't d/l or tried out the pdaNet app).
I will also add that the bluetooth tethering has worked MUCH better than the wifi - easier/faster to connect, runs pretty fast, and my phone doesn't overheat as much....
Works fine with my evo. The Evo has proper infrastructure wifi hotspot.
Maybe the users need to update their phones?
I went into a store to try a tf and there was no internet so I turned on my WiFi hotspot on my sgsII and it worked perfectly fine, not sure if that's the same as you're asking but that works.

Any HTC thunderbolt users reading this that have tried hotspot?

a lot of clarification
Hi all,
I need your help, understanding ... well everything about wifi/TF/WM6.5/adhoc and whatever the other connection is?
I don't think of myself as a noob, but to be honest I'm lost with the wifi on the TF. So here it goes: I have TF and HD2. Under WM6.5 I can't get the TF to see the shared internet through the "wifi router" application on the phone. But then I run a custom Desire HD ROM and this one (can't remember the application) shares and gives access to the TF?!?!
First off, which is which? Which is adhoc and which is infrastructure? And what is the difference (sorry i did look on the internet, but that got me confused even more because I could not see any difference). Are you saying that a standard (not rooted Android) will have the same problem? I was thinking of switching to an android phone so that I can get the easy sharing option, but if I have to root a brand new phone????
Any help will be appreciated,
rio
Easy way to tether off a rooted phone.
Install one of the older versions of wireless tether that supports bluetooth.
Turn on the bluetooth DUN on wireless tether.
Hit ok when it asks to turn on Bluetooth and make discoverable.
On the transformer go to settings-wireless-bluetooth
Scan for your device and pair.
Once paired you should see a little wrench next to your device, click on it
Under Profiles, it should show tethering with a checkbox. Click this and in a few seconds Wireless tether should buzz its connected and off you go.
I've been able to tether my transformer like this since out of the box.
Edit - BTW I've tried this with PDAnet and other non rooted tehtering programs, and I couldn't get it to work with those options. Just FYI
the difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure is the way devices communicate.
infrastructure is kinda like the way we send messages via the post office. we send it to a central place, then it figures out how to deliver the message. this is how true routers operate
ad-hoc is peer-to-peer. imagine passing notes back in elementary school.
( Do you like me [yes] [no] )
some phones comes with a tethering app without having to root, but this typically requires you to pay extra fee to your carrier ($30 for sprint)
if you don't want to pay that, then you have to root your phone to either get a rom that already supports infrastructure mode, or download an app that does. [ ie Wifi Tether ]
people googling "honeycomb dun" would be incredibly misinformed by this thread.

You are right. I put Honeycomb 3.1 in the title but forgot to mention in the OP if anyone heard that 3.1 would have support for DUN or Ad Hoc.
Sorry for any confusion I might have caused

Is there an app working for wifi tethering on x10 ?
Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether - search on google play
the X10 for tethering. Try PdaNet
If you're trying to transfer phone internet to the computer via a usb cable, you could try using PdaNet.
I've been using it for some years now and its worked great! Just a simple run on android and run on pc and your connected.
There is also the built in tethering that some android phones have. Personally, I've never been able to find it in the settings menu so I had to install a shortcut to it.
You can look up "Tethering Shortcut" in the market and use that to access the menu.
If you meant internet on the computer via wifi tethering, you can try Baracle Wifi Tethering.
The application does require root, but if your willing to, I've heard the application works wonders.
Some phones also have the option for making a hotspot with the phone.
If you want to try, you can install that "Tethering Shortcut" I meantion earlier and seeing if it includes a menu for activating the hotspot.
