Have you tried using the native portable hotspot function? It's built right into the GS2, and I've used it just fine.
Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering and portable hotspot > Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
If that doesn't work for you, you can always root and install WiFi Tether for Root users: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

yes, but the problem is it only share adhoc and it works only to iphone coz iphone can also read adhoc connection, when u tried to connect to other android it doesnt work

Um, he told you to use the NATIVE function, not a third-party app.
Third-party apps are adhoc, native tethering is a proper access point. I use it all the time with my Tab 10.1

Not sure what your looking at. I share my WPA PSK 2 hotspot all the time with all my devices. As above mentioned. Its the native feature.

Please clarify what you are trying to do... Cause it is not really clear to me.
Are you saying you are trying to get a DIFFERENT android phone to connect to your phone when it is functioning as a hotspot? Why would you need do that???
What about laptops? Or other wi-fi capable devices, like a tablet? As I said, when I start a hotspot on MY GS2 the same way I described above, I was able to connect my laptop to it and access the internet just fine, even connecting to my work's VPN.
So the question is, what are you doing, and what is going wrong that ISN'T what you are expecting?

WiFi Tethering

Hi,
I'm using CM9 beta4 by ludohirp and i really need wifi tethering.
Someone told me to use "Barnacle WiFi Tether" and another one told about "WiFi Tether", neither of them works for me, someone can help?

Hey,
I guess you are aware of koush (koushik dutta); he developed an application named "Tether", it works seemlessly for me. Just hit your browser towards http://www.clockworkmod.com/
"Wireless Tether for Root Users" from market
try this, worked well fr me
Yup wireless tether works for me without any problem

This one works for my computer using, but it's using ADHOC. My android tablet can't connect.
CM7 connection sharing was very good, my tablet and my computer connect to it without any problem...
You know, it's been over a year since I first got this phone, yet I never got the native wifi hotspot to work quite right. Stock or custom ROMs. Am I missing anything here?

in your apn list choose "minternet" before using wifi tether. don't choose the "yourproviderGPRS" you can't share GPRS in wifi tether even in usb tether.

maybe it's a problem in cm9 kernel, but you can also try Easy Teather

Yup...could be the kernel (or ROM) since I use Barnacle w/o problems with Roq IX and stock V20i.

It's not really a problem. My computer connect, my android tablet don't.
Do you have any other android device to try connecting to your phone?
hey
i have got the same problem. this looks to be a problem of this cm 9 beta...
with cm 7 tethering worked fine.
can you use the standard tethering? (the android stock...)
if i try to activate mine it does nothing...
did you find a workaround? i cant connect with my android 3.2 device as well. ipad connects fine...

Like I said in the general thread of cm9... barnacle or wifi tether are third party apps... only can create ad-hoc networks that Android by default can't see... for the tf-101 there is a modded wpa_supplicant that can make the tablet "see" ad-hoc networks so you can connect to it....
PS: the reason of why cm7 stock tethering works if cz android stock tethering creates an infrastructure network.... and the reason of why only honeycomb tablets can't see ad-hoc networks is cz they don't have CyanogenMod... and cm have this feature enabled

Sorry dude it's for my fellow countryman..
Here in Philippines we have 3 or 4 apn that our service provider sends us.
1. "yourprovider"GPRS - this one is set with the proxy i.p adress.
2. "yourprovider" Internet - the one with the minternet at apn
3. mms
4. blah blah and others
i once tried to use the connection 1 and share it with wifi tether. Sure there is a wifi hotspot but there are no connections. I thought i can share 0.facebook to my computer. like free fb with my pc browser. and it fails
so i tried to top up a load and use connection 2 with the "minternet". and it works.

AD-HOC Connection in ICS

Hello all,
From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?
Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the app and downloaded it but didn't work on my phone, it gave an error in the las segment because it cant find the system group "wifi" in my phone. For what I can see the dev stopped updating this app, in my eyes its a shame because that could of been very useful and profitable for him at the same time.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

wifi adhoc
Make your laptop wifi hotspot
Run dos as administrator and type as follows
netsh
wlan
set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name" key="password"
start hostednetwork
show hostednetwork
stop hostednetwork
IMP:- It works on windows 7 and 8 only
Thank you for your help!
I followed your instructions and I got the wireless network up and running. When I try to connect my phone to it (Evo 4g LTE) the phone sees the network, asks for the password, tries to connect but keeps disconnecting and connecting constantly nonstop.
Any suggestions?

Ad hoc connection with laptop

Hey guys.
We know how you can do ad hoc or tethering with phone and laptop to use the phones data connection on the laptop.
How do I reverse it?
I've enabled internet sharing on the laptop but it doesn't show when I scan from the phone.
Is there anything specific that needs to be done?
The phone is galaxy s3 running stock ICS

I would recommend taking a look at FoxFi and if your rooted Wireless Tether for Root Users. Keep in mind depending on your carrier handles tethering you may have to change some app settings, for tethering to function properly. Let me know if you still have questions.

Are using the wireless hotspot or USB tethering feature of Foxfi? Make sure that your in a location where your phone is getting a strong data signal as well.
