I had a previous thread asking about the wifi tether app. I downloaded version wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14 and installed it... seemed to work when I locked onto it using my computer. It recognized it as an ad-hock network I think (in windows it shows 3 monitors connected in a triangle) to use it but it worked fine. Now while trying to find the SSID I assigned with my Verizon Galaxy Tab it doesn't show. Any ideas or settings I'm missing to link the 2?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
The tab and most other mobile devices won't recognize ad-hoc network connections. However, you can adjust the settings, using info in a post on this site, to use the stock 3G Hotspot app in AP/infrastructure mode and your tab would connect with no issues.

Maybe u should probably try a different version.... I have 2.0.5-pre11 installed on my Evo; and I tether with my Sprint Galaxy Tab no prob.
I'll try that and post back to let you know.
The version you use likely won't have any effect. The HTC Incredible and EVO seem to have the ability to present themselves as infrastructure mode access points with the wireless tether application, whereas other devices, like the Galaxy S phones do not. I could, of course, be wrong on some of the technical details, but I don't believe I've heard of anyone being able to tether another Android device to a Galaxy S device wirelessly, due to the ad hoc limitations. If somebody finds a way and proves me wrong, then great! But as I said before, I don't think any currently available version of Wireless Tether can do it, nor can the alternate Barnacle app.

No go with any of the builds of the wi-fi tether app. My Galaxy Tab just won't show it listed when searching for the SSID. Not sure what to do other than a USB or bluetooth link. sucky!
The QPST hack will work.

My iPad tethered without any problem.
When I tethered with a MacBook, I was not able to get any video chat apps to work. Tried MSN, Google Talk etc. Anybody has suggestions on this?
I was able to get it working thanks to Deodexed pointing me to his walkthrough. Here is the link for anyone else having troubles getting an ad-hoc connection on their Tab.

Wifi says unable to connect and hotspot says error my mt4g is rooted im using the stock esspreso rom any suggestions? help.. I was underthe impression that rooting would make hotspoting free correct me if im wrong .
Wifi hot spot is free (as of now). If T-mobile does start charging you can always use wifi tether, not the app on the phone, to tether for free. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Post questions in Q&A section!
Just recently bought a Asus Nexus 7 and I find it an awesome device.
Unfortunately, I was surprised to see there is no option to turn my device into a wifi hotspot
or to share my nexus internet through USB to other computers.
thus I am now looking for apps that can help me achieve this
and would greatly appreciate anyone who has any recommendation for me..
p.s :- I tried wifi Hotspot and Foxfi (free version for both) but I can get neither computers no other mobile phones
to connect to the wifi hotspot they created through my nexus
Thank you.

Hey guys, I have a question about wifi tether.
I have Straight Talk (Att) and looking for a wifi tether solution where it cannot be detected.
I'm only looking to do a few hundred MB of data so nothing that will set off any flags in that respect.
I found this thread about the s6 but not sure if it will work for me so hoping maybe someone has some insight:

Thanks for any help

Have you tried foxfi or WiFi tether? I am with 3 in UK and get 12GB tether limit. So far with these apps I am up to 48GB tethering data.
I have found that you need to delete the APN for the network and reenter it for them to work.
But that's easy enough to do but need to be rooted.
I didn't try them only because I read they are for people with a tether plan, and I don't have a tether plan or that option.
I Just want to tether and use my normal data and have it not be detectable.
I'm not sure what happened to this thread now its just some sort of answer thread that doesn't help because the answer posted didn't help but it seems like the thread has been answered.
prob should just close or deleted this as I fixed the problem by posting a correct thread
This mostly a direct copy and paste but I posted in the wrong place so I thank the mods for being so understanding.
Anyway I'm new here, and was looking for some help.
When I say WiFi sharing I mean sharing my connection using the WiFi I'm connected to NOT my phones hotspot data.
I did a little bit of research looking around for a way to do this, and I found out my girlfriends g5 can do it and my g3 can too with a ROM I flashed. ? Fulmics LGG3 Android 6.0 rom to be exact. I now have a Note 3 and was wondering if there was a way to add this feature to it. :fingers-crossed:
I also found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215003
Which basically talked about the same thing on a iPhone, using f2router, pdanet, and even WiFi sharing via USB, but these are not what I am looking for.
(If you own a g5 or flashed Fulmics Rom give it a go Settings>Network>Tethering>Wifi-Hotspot go to "Setup WiFi Hotspot" scroll down and there's a check box for Share via connected wifi.) ? (Note:It's kinda like a wifi repeater.)
