Just wondering why my incredible can't see my network when I run wireless tether.
My laptop has no problem. So what is different?

I'm guessing because android isn't ad-hoc supported although I thought there was a work around on this site.

Did a search and can't find it.
Anyone have any ideas about a workaround?

I use a program called barnacle legacy, and it sets up an ad-hoc network. I had to use this instead of the apk posted around here because that one created a computer-to-computer network, which my work laptop won't connect to (domain enrolling and all that.)
I'd say give that app a shot and get back to us.

wireless tether is ad-hov connections not interface; there's a big difference in the two.
computers can connect to both while cell phone's can only connect to interface connections.

How did you get that to work? I always got an error but it would be connected but no movement.

Infrastructure mode is supported on droid incredible. dont know how they did it but i owned one so i know its possible.
Thanks for the replies.
Here is what I want to do...
I deactivated my incredible to get this fascinate.
I run wireless tether on the fascinate and would like to use the hotspot created to use the incredible.
For instance I could put the inc in it's windshield mount and get data to run navigation through the wireless network created from the fascinate.
I would love some help or at least to know if it can or cannot be done.
Great forum.
Fascinate oc1.2 for now

I just downloaded it from the market and ran it. Maybe it doesn't work on droid 2.
Theres another version apparently. The Legacy version was like a good version that worked for a lot of people, and I guess his newest version was something that didn't work for some, but worked for others.
I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Probably so, is there anyway someone can gain access to a "hacked" sprint hotspot for the Shift?

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Well deleting the spint hotspot made no difference. Now a few days later I can't even tether on 4G. Quite frustrating, this. Any suggestions?

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

My 4G tethering came back oddly enough. Maybe it was my area.

Mine is back working now too...that's really weird.
NYC here.
Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh
I am running SRF 1.2 which comes with WiFi tether which I have had VERY little luck with. Every time I try running it, the phone reboots. I remember that there was a thread or a post within a thread that explained how to avoid this but after playing with it for an entire night I was never able to get it to work with my 4G.
Last night I went surfing for apps and found the app in the thread title, the developer name is Mueller, Lemons, Buxton and it works like a charm. Within seconds of installing my computer had recognized the WiFi Hotspot and connected with DL speeds of 3-5 Mbps.
I just wanted to put this out there for SRF 1.2 users who may be experiencing similar problems who might want to use wireless tethering.
What version of the Wireless Tether app are you running? Is the icon green or yellow?
I'm running the Wireless Tether 3.0-pre14 with no problems. There is a trick for initial configuration and when you turn it on though:
Initial Config:
Device Profile = Epic 4G
Setup Method = Auto
Wifi-Encryption = Checked
Passphrase = (some passphrase)
SSID = (some SSID)
Access-Control = Enabled
To Turn Wireless Tether On:
Turn OFF 4G and WIFI. If either of these are on when wireless tether is turned on you will have problems.
Wait for both the "Hotspot" and "Wifi Tether" notifications.
Turn back ON 4G (if you want).
The trick is to go in settings and select the Epic. Then, before you start tethering, turn off 4g, then activate tether. Once it gets up and running, turn back on 4g and you will be good...EDIT...you beat me. The yellow 3 pre 14 is incredible

There is a new beta out that works really well and has Infrastructure (AP) mode. If you haven't looked go out to code.google.com and check it out. It works perfectly for my Epic. Just make sure you select Epic 4g in the device profile and Samsung SoftAP in the Setup-Method section.
I did a lot of these things, not remembering in particular what it was because it's been a few weeks.
I guess the point of the post was more just to let people know about another wireless tethering app that is free and works without having to adjust any settings, turn 4g on/off, face the western horizon between the hours of 3:00-6:00 pm, stand on your head while drinking water, turn the phone counter clockwise in your hand while you turn clockwise, etc...
Install, open, tether, done.
Wireless Tether by these apparently European devs. It works.

i had that but now i downloaded 3.1 beta 1 but i havent tried it... has anyone tried both and which is better? i see 3 pre 14 is no longer on the website
I am using the newest 3.1 beta now with some success.
I experienced an issue on SRF 1.2 where my devices could get IP but could not access the internet.
The wifi tether would start and stop just fine, 4g or not.
I then flashed EF02plus and it works fine.
However, with EF02plus I have a different issue, which has existed with all versions of wifi tether 3.0, where 'sometimes' when you turn off 4G, the phone will reboot.
So, there is some combination of events that can lead to something going funny, and then turning off tether or 4g will reboot the phone. This doesn't happen often.
So far, 3.1 beta is a winner for me.

Is there an app that will run wireless tether in infrastructure mode when on gingerbread ef02? The evo(running latest rooted ota of gingerbread) has a hacked sprint hotspot that works perfectly. Is it because of not having source? I don't think they have gingerbread source for the evo yet either.

Hi everyone,
I just got my SGS2 from Bell today and I haven't been able to download any applications using my WiFi connection at home (every app stalls at "Downloading.." with the green striped bar). I can use the browser, and browse through the Market with no problems.
I've also noticed that the YouTube app does not stream any videos over WiFi.
If I switch to HSPA, both of these issues go away.
I've googled around for several hours and tried clearing cache/data of almost every app I can think of. I've disabled my encryption on my wireless router and restarted it. I've done two hard resets and tried using a different Google Account log in. The problem still persists.
Is there anything else I can do? Could it be a specific Router+SGS2 issue? I have my old HTC Desire sitting next to my SGS2 and it's downloading apps over WiFi like a champ.
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: The problem has been fixed. For the record:
I downgraded my DIR-625 firmware from version 1.20 to 1.09. This actually resolved some other outstanding bugs I had and now I can finally fully enjoy my SGS2 at home.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Volume Up + Home + Power > Wipe cache > Wipe data
Start from scratch and make sure you add a Wifi and Google account at startup.
Thanks. Just tried that, still the same issue. On first boot up, I don't get asked for a WiFi connection however (I add it manually after the initial walk through is done).
EDIT: So I just tried the wipe data/cache/factory reset with the SIM taken out. It asked me to connect to a WiFi on boot up, and restored several applications with no problems. However, the same thing is still happening - can't download anything on the market .
I'm going through the EXACT same issue now. It's probably your router. Try it on a different wireless AP. You'll see ;-)
1) Which router are you using?
2) Do you have another Android device to test with?
3) What's your ISP?

So I just tried using the WiFi here at work and everything works! Must be my router then...
1. Dlink Di-625
2. Yes. My old HTC Desire has no problems with the WiFi.
3. Videotron
I'll try doing a hard reset on the router I guess (pressing the button).. Any idea what could be the issue specifically? It works completely fine for all my other devices..2 laptops, iPad, and my old HTC Desire.

Weird that it works on your Desire. My Nexus One didn't work either.
I have an ASUS RT-N12. No idea what the issue is. However, I did start noticing the issue after I tried to update Busybox. You didn't happen to try to update that did you?
I also have Videotron. I thought it may have been the ISP as I read somewhere a similar issue that ended up being the ISP's fault, but it worked at my dad's who also has Videotron.
Are you running DD-WRT on your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Talking about DD-WRT, I have a 2 routers setup. First is a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 broadcasting Canadian IP's and the second is a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT broadcasting US IP's. I noticed something interesting with the Cisco model. On my Tab 10.1 tablet I get both band signals 2.5/5Ggz as wireless while on the phone I only get the 2.5Ghz one. I'm running on XXKG3 2.3.4 firmware, the stock firmware was able to detect both bandwidths.
I'm going to root my phone in order to use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler and change the country to US, so I get all the missing apps.
I got home and did a hard reset on the router, issue still exists . I'm assuming it must be something to do with the router itself (since everything worked on a different WiFi). Unfortunately DD-WRT doesn't support the model I have (DIR-625).
I'm going to try and root it and maybe load a different kernel to see if that helps.

while the download is in progress, back out go into talk, sign out, then sign back in then go back to market dl should start.

I though i was crazy.
I have the KH3 firmware. With a cisco E4200 router running DDWRT. on the same isp as you (videotron).
Could it be the isp????
Any solution?
Weird. Like I said though, I tried it at my dad's who also has Videotron and it worked fine.
Kernel/ROM doesn't change a thing. It's probably the router. Like I said, tried it on my Nexus One and it didn't work.

Hello
I have a Droid X on 2.3 It's rooted and everything and recently I tried tethering. Every time I connect to my phone with my iPad it sends me to Verizon's page to subscribe to tethering plan. I was using Wireless Tether..but that stopped working..so now I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether. That was working great until I updated to 2.3 I saw in the market WIFI Tethering but that wouldn't even download. Anyway for me to tether without verizon sending me to the subscribe to a tethering plan page?
Thank you

I am very curious now, because I am still on Froyo, and I just checked and my DroidX does indeed have the DataManager .apk and the database files! (by the way, the database has 50,000 records!) Does this mean that big red is also tracking tethering on Froyo??? The reason I kept refusing to switch to GB is because of that issue. Hmm..
Tried the patch above twice
Back to the drawing board I guess... I'm not really sure how to figure out this adhoc thing... With the beta app above, open garden, and barnacle I can see the SSID but it will not connect, and when I'm on my Xoom it says adhoc not supported. But the thing is, I could tether before, and I could connect with the xoom; before I installed MIUI 1.10.7 android version 2.3.5 gb
Before I flashed this rom I never heard of this adhoc... I am reading that there may be no fix for this right now, is that correct???
The link above installed okay, but when I go to open the app it installs I get a force close =/

Check your permissions on root explorer.
And example is
Use root explorer
Go too app data
Click on wifi tether
Check to make sure under owner execute is checked.
make sure if you got the wugfresh patch you select droid x under profile in settings. Common mistake.
Also with a custom rom you may want to go back to stock and try the wugfresh process again. I can assure you it works on a droid x. I've done it many times not with a custom rom though.
