But does this transmit in infrastructure, like for ps3 to recognize?

When I tried it I could only get Ad-hoc connections. My ROM on my Transformer didn't support Ad-hoc so I couldn't complete my test.
yes it doesnt work yet it only does ad/hoc and isnt good
All of the wireless tether for root users are ad-hoc. Only the built in tether from Froyo and later are infrastructure.

That's incorrect. Both my gf and a friend are on an Evo 4G with wireless tether for root, on Sense, and have infrastructure wireless tethering.
Well I apologize. If you are still stuck with an original Evo 4g then it supports it... http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...otspot-infrastructure-capabilities-on-evo-4g/

Not Really, unless Jun 10, 2010 (Over a year ago is recent) From what I understand it it the Moto Drivers that they can't seem to figure out infastructure mode. Tonight my buddy and I have a plan to see if we can get infastructure mode to work. If it does I post the trick.
Well My first Idea didn't work, But has anyone looked at porting this method over to the Photon, Looks like if you had the right tools u should be able to update the directories to work with the Photon. I might be wrong, sometime I wish i had more time to dig in and teach my self more advanced Android programing.

My bad, thought it said 2011. I'm glad I'm not the only smartass in the Photon forum. Just get defensive sometimes ..

No access control either
This version also reports that the Photon kernel doesn't have what's necessary for access control, so that will have to wait until custom kernels flow in from the geniuses (of which I am not one!).
I also have been unable to connect when any kind of WiFi encryption is selected; only way I can connect with my Mac (which is the only way I can test) is to disable encryption.
Our power went out, so along with no router, there was no cable. I knew from this thread that the newest Wifi Tether wouldn't work but I downloaded it and tried it anyway. No joy.
Next up, I grabbed Barnacle Tether. It's got only WEP encryption but I was up and running and was able to stream an entire move from Amazon's video streaming without a hitch. So, that works! Give it a shot...

I had no luck with Barnacle - any settings that need to be tweaked to make it work? WEP is better than nothing!

I streamed Limitless to my Dell XPS m1330. My wife and I had forgotten we were even doing it - there was absolutely no stutter and no re-buffering. When the movie was over I remembered and was really impressed.
I don't know much about the settings, ad-hoc vs infrastucture, etc. All I know is that the wifi tether did not work for me. As others said it looks like it is transmitting but I can never find the SSID. Barnacle fired up and worked right away - no tweaks needed on my laptop.
edit: We just knew with no house internet access and no cable we could and wanted to watch a movie with my phone. I was originally going to buy it on the Android market and connect the HDMI from the phone to the TV but I don't have the mini-HDMI cable. Also, my TV is older so no DLNA. Only other option was the use the hotspot so my laptop could access the web and stream. BTW, when I accidentally clicked on the wrong window (I had the Android Marketplace Movies window open, also) it said that the movie streaming from Youtube was not set up or allowed for my country. That was wierd - the only thing I could think of was some IP address thing due to my using the wireless tether from Barnacle.

I don't think so. I just changed the stock SSID (to "MoPho", lol) and set up a WEP password of my own, 5 characters. Clicked START and it was up and running.

I may get flamed for asking this but I'm going to any way. Is it possible to tether an Ipod Touch to an Eris through bluetooth in order to share the 3g internet connection? I haven't used my Touch much at all since ive had the eris...just thought it would be convenient when wi fi isn't available.

Well, if you're not leaked then just root the phone and open wifi tether. Start the tether and then just connect the ipod touch to the access point that the phone creates.
Yeah, it should work perfect. The phone creates the Ad-Hoc network and bam, you're online.
Off note, I know for a fact that until Sony gets their heads out of their butt, the Wifi Tether won't work for the PSP (The PSP is too good for ad-hoc networks apparently).
Yep, I got it working. If you're rooted use the wireless tether app to connect through wifi. Create an SSID and PW and you're good. Still can't figure out bluetooth, but wifi works just fine for me. I only use my Touch for the games, which as of now is really the only thing Android is lacking IMHO.

Has any rooted users tried to run wired-tether yet?
code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Yes, I know the official wifi tether app works and yes I know there is a promo until May.
I just don't want to deal with billing issue if/when the promo ends.
Will answer my own question again for people who use the search feature:
No, wired tether does not work for rooted users, but perhaps there is some driver issues to be worked out on the PC side. Wifi tether DOES work. More info here:

I guess I am partial to wired tether (before I found out wifi tether had AP/infrastructure working).
Wired tether is free, and with Vista/7/Linux, it requires no drivers.
However, the newest thing is the Thunderbolt uses so much power that I have a hard time charging my phone with EasyTether/PDA net via USB. I don't know if it's because of the program operating in user land or the fact that the Thunderbolt sucks power up.
Having said that, wifi-tether will work great because you can charge your phone at 1A on an AC outlet. The USB 500ma doesn't work so well with the Thunderbolt. It barely charges and runs the phone at the same time
I just hooked my HTC Thunderbolt w CM7 up to my Nook tablet...couldn't do that with my Kindle Fire i briefly had. just Pointing this out, thanks

How did you do that?
Meaning you were able to connect via the phone's wireless tether? Odd that the Fire couldn't.
Tether mine today using my Evo 3d and wifi tether easy as cake!
I have Wifi Tether running on my Samsung Infuse and the NT connected without a problem.
I was using wifi sharing on my amaze 4g all day yesterday no problems. I actually wonder why the fire wouldn't do this, I've never had a problem with any device that supports wifi connecting to my hotspot.
I have a HTC Thuderbolt using wifi tethering and had no problems using it with Fire.
I was having all sorts of problems till i switched to this : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
No luck running Wireless Tether 2.0.7, or 3.1-beta6, or Open Garden 2.1.1 on my OG Droid. I can only seem to enable ad-hoc mode, which the NT does not recognize. :-(
just rooted my HTC Evo purely for this purpose and confirmed that NT is connected and as fast as my EVO
I hope this Wireless Tether works on the Samsung Galaxy II S? anyone give that a try yet? Yes I know some providers charge for the wifi hotspot on this phone. But I'm trying to avoid that charge.

Has anyone been able to tether to an iphone 4? I went through all the trouble of rooting and attempting to use the adhoc wifi support fix guide for the color and it's not working.
Just FYI if it helps anyone - I tested connecting NT with a WiFi Hotspot started in my Laptop ( running Windows 7 using Connectify ) and it worked!

is there a free supported app?
The computer im using doesn't have a wireless network card( it's an old computer).
and im wondering if there is a way i can get my phone to be its internet until i get a card.
I want to turn it into a FTP server.
Any help that helps, THANKS
Relative to the wireless part. I have a couple of these that I got just for this type of purpose.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY
Cheap, FAST and very handy to have around in the case someone brings over a computer without wireless access.
As for using your phone for the internet, that works good for browsing etc... but you will have a hard time getting your phone to provide services like service (FTP) since the IP is NAT'd....

Glad to hear PDAnet works. I tried the Wired Tether on the Google Projects page with no luck on CleanROM 1.7.5 or CleanROM 4.2.2.
Seems to be a kernel issue I think the one from Google will work when we get aosp or cm working. Maybe the ics official release will let it work on sense roms. The PDA net app works fine currently.
I use ClockWorkMod Tether. Love it.

Now that some of you (bastards) have had a few days to play with your shiny new toys. Has anyone confirmed that either Foxfi or the android wifi tether works on the GS3? I usually use the android wifi tether (once rooted), but I am considering Foxfi for a while until rooting/ROMing becomes more stable for the GS3. Also, the changelog on the code.google.com side for wifi tether only certifies it for the GS2 running ICS.
Anyway, I'm curious to know how people are enabling wifi on their new GS3. So, you know, in case I ever get my 32GB GS3, I can do it too.
I think this was already covered by qbking77.
Use the Wireless Tether for Root Users app, and select Galaxy Nexus CDMA as the option.
Foxfi does not currently work on the S3, the developer is aware of this. So I just rooted mine and used the tether that qbking suggested, it works great!

Wish I'd read this before I tried Foxfi on my stock S3 (t-mobile), last night. Didn't work with my nook (the nook couldn't even connect to the hotspot). And now, wifi doesn't work at all on my S3. Just sits there, endlessly scanning. Every now and then, it'll pop up a notification that it's found an open wireless network, but nothing ever shows up in the wireless networks list. I tried the suggestion from Foxfi's market/play listing: "rename the hotspot ssid in Foxfi, and then reboot." No dice. Uninstalled Foxfi. No dice. Rebooted multiple times (including powering off and popping the battery out). Still no dice.

I guess with a non rooted phone you can't clear your cache or dalvik cache. Nor can you use titanium backup to restore all your apps easily if you do a factory restore. Dang bro, that sucks. Maybe it's time to root.
FoxFi works for me. Just make sure that you are disconnected from any wireless access points before launching FoxFi. I disable WiFi alltogether, and let FoxFi enable it.
This post was made using FoxFi on my S3.
Started pseudo-randomly changing wifi related settings, to see if it altered the situation. After picking a remembered wireless access point (one I'm rarely around), and deleting it, wifi started working again. So, that's relief.
As to whether or not Foxfi actually works on my S3, maybe I'll give it another try, after the memory of this experience fades a bit.

Yeah, I'd planned to give the stock ROM a few weeks, since I've never used one with the Samsung interface, before. The hosed wifi made me lean towards sooner, rather than later. But, now that it's working again, I'll probably stick with my original plan. The lack of control over my phone makes me twitchy, though, so I don't imagine it'll stay stock very long.

Might be a PC problem, cause I made that post using my PC connected through FoxFi on my S3.
Is Wireless Tether running reliably for anyone? Most of the time I can't see the network on my laptop. On the rare occasion I can connect it works flawlessly however
I haven't tried with pc yet but it works great with my iPod, cough errr pad...(long and painful story how I got the iPud....I am not rooted yet as I just got my hone yesterday.
I have mine rooted (Sprint) and cannot get any of them to work. They might connect sometimes, but other times they don't even broadcast. I used tethering everyday at work with my EVO through Sprint Hotspot. Kinda regretting switching so early.
Posting this from my laptop connected to my VZW S3 running Foxfi..
Working without a problem before it was rooted and after.
Foxfi working for me as well, connected to laptop and Transformer Prime without an issue. I'm not rooted yet. Will be soon.
