[Q] Internet pass through

Does anyone know if it's possible to use this when using your phone as a WIFI hotspot, or does the hotspot only use your data connection? Cheers

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the Wifi hotspot option only allows you to share your phone's 3g connection with wireless enabled devices. If you're on Orange they've probably blocked it by default so you need to configure it.

He is asking if he can forward the Internet connection from the PC using a USB cable (Internet Passthrough mode) and further pass it to other devices using the WiFi hotspot feature IN THE SAME TIME

Yeah, that's what I want to do. Picked up an iPad 2 on Friday, but don't have WIFI at work. Was hoping to share my PCs internet connection instead of using my data.

I'm in the same boat. No wifi at work and would like to share my pc's interenet through the phone's as a wifi hotspot. Theoritically this should be possible. Any third party softwares which allow this?

Hmm, cant test it now due to some reasons but it's possible to use your phone as a wifi card.
For example connect your phone to wifi and activate usb tethering. Now your on the wifi nework with your pc.
I think that yours should be possible too

I'm trying to do the opposite, not usb tethering, rather internet passthrough. Basically I want to use the phone as a wifi router (but not using mobile network as the source of net).

Unfortunately , I guess , this couldn't be possible , because when HTC Desire HD device is connected via " Internet pass through " , the internet connection is neither 3G , nor WIFI . I can't be a hundred percent sure that this is right , but as far as you know there are some GAMELOFT games , which require downloaded CACHE/DATA for playing them . This downloading could be possible , when your device has been connected to Internet , no matter 3G/4G or WIFI .
Once I tried via " Internet pass through " to download this DATA/CACHE files ,but there appeared a notification saying Im neither 3G , nor WIFI connected . So I couldn't succeed in downloading the files . ( I've tried many games , yet has never managed to download DATA/CACHE game files via "Internet pass through" )
My opinion is that WIFI-HOTSPOT can be activated only when you are connected via 3G/4G/WIFI network . But anytime you want , you could try if it is possible via "Internet pass through" be established a WIFI-HOTSPOT
: ))

Create a txt file "qaWifiOnlyMode.txt" and inside write FALSE , put in the root of your sd ... and the game will ask your permission to use carrier network , if internet pass through are active will use the USB connection

ad-hoc support

Hi guys,
As the title suggest , is there an ad-hoc support for the gn?

any answer????

Openen Hotspot with Connectify
-Nokia E51 connects (with and without encryption)
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't even show the hotspot.
adding the network manually is not working either

i tired every app and method available with no luck
i think the solution is to add ad-hoc support

I think the default wpa-supplicant doesn't support adhoc. We need to replace it with one that supports. I don't know if someone has made/fixed it yet. Still waiting for it as well.

Ad.Hoc
did you manage to connect through Ad.Hoc? I cannot find Adhoc in my Galaxy Note!! Can we enable AdHoc on Note?

Also need to use adhoc but my Nexus doesn't detect any...

i will try tonight,as i has my laptop at my GF's house.and wont be there until tonight .
but yha. if nobody has posted til than.
than be sure to watch out for my post
Btw,did any one of you guys try wifi direct?
im kinda unsure what it really does.

Did some search in Google and previous NEXUS had the same problem some users were telling to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin but I think the one they where providing its not compatible with SGN.

As someone already said, I am not even able to see the an adhoc wifi network with my Galaxy Nexus.
My device is rooted but so far I did not find an easy solution to enable adhoc wifi.
However the same adhoc network works perfectly with an EEEpad transformer, so apparently the wifi client is already modified in the Asus tablet.

Has there been any update to this? Been searching this site and others and it doesn't seem like a wpa-supplicant file that can see Ad-hoc networks has been created yet.

I use Connectify - works pefectly.

Supposedly the 4.0.2 update should bring ad-hoc support.
I'm eagerly awaiting the roll-out... (Should have happened ages ago, but somehow it's taking quite a while to propagate everywhere.)
I suppose you could always go ahead and flash your own ROM, but personally I prefer to wait for the official OTA update.

I'm using a 4.0.3 ROM and before that had stock 4.0.2 and no ad hoc support was/is available. There is Wifi Direct which acts like ad hoc but that only works with other Wifi Direct devices.

Oh, Bother!
I was betting on 4.0.2 to solve this, but as you say, it appears that it's only the wifi-direct that frequently gets billed as 'ad-hoc-like' connection.
Is there any other way to enable ad-hoc connections?
Apparently on other devices there exist modified wpa_supplicant files that enable ad-hoc, but so far I haven't seen anything for the GN.

Unfortunately I'm running XP (yeah I know ) here at the office so Connectify won't work - no access point connections on XP.

any possible solution?

Use bluetooth to connect to your computer and share your internet connection with your phone.

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc Enabler on the market, it require Root and it works grate for me, now i can see and connect to any ad hoc connection.

I can't find Tethering Manager in Titanium Backup... Is it under another name? I only ask because I have found a Wi-Fi sharing manager but don't know if it's the same thing or not. Is it?

It's not called Tethering Manager. It's called Wi-Fi sharing and Wi-Fi sharing manager. Freeze them both and you should be able to tether like you used to.
Good Luck..

Sorry. I assumed that the question was about wireless tethering, when the OP didn't state that.
Tethering is the ability to connect your phone to your computer via a USB port and share the phone's internet connection with your computer. I assume Tethering manager is the T-Mobile app that manages that connection, although I'm running Juggernaut 5.0 and there is no Tethering manager on my phone. I notice if I connect my USB cable to my phone, the USB tethering option is available in Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot.
Wi-Fi sharing, (and manager), provides the same functionality, but instead of connecting the phone to your computer via the USB port, you connect via Wi-Fi, (turning the phone into what T-Mobile calls a portable "Hotspot"). This is often times called wifi tethering, which is why I answered incorrectly. The sharing part is because you can connect up to 8 computers through the phone at the same time.
Wi-Fi sharing doesn't have anything to do with sharing files.
To the OP, if you are trying to do USB tethering, and like me, you don't have the Tethering manager app installed, just connect the USB cable between your phone and computer, and then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot. and see if you can enable the USB tethering option. If so, then you should be able to USB tether without issue. If you've already done this, and it won't work, then you may want to consider installing a ROM which provides this functionality.
You shouldn't freeze, (or need to freeze), Wi-Fi sharing, and Wi-Fi sharing manager, (unless you want to do wireless tethering with an app like this one).
Good Luck..

Barnacle WIFI Tether has always been my trusty go-to. Just install and go with no freezing or unfreezing needed, and it's full of features and options for your tether network.

I'm a quick learner, teach me something.

Wireless and USB tethers
For Wifi Tether [using your phone as a WiFi router to the internet: Barnacle WiFi is the best IMHO [free but phone MUST be rooted].
For USB tether: ClockworkMod Tether: Free AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT though you will need to download an exe and install to your computer [install Cloclworkmod Tehter open app and click ? icon and tap Download Tether For PC this will download exe to your SD connect to computer via USB cable and enable USB Drive copy file to computer, run it allow it to install and then after it is running on your computer disconnect your phone, reconnect open clockwork tether and hit the BIG icon above the USB Tether is not running text and you should see it picked up on the computer side.
If you attempt to use any form of WiFi tether app included by Tmo there is a fee for that and oh if you call tech support and try to ask about tethering they will tell you it is not allowed and they dont support it. Really, they dont want you doing for free what they can charge for, and there have been some cases of folks getting called by Tmo and asked to stop [I never have had that happen, but I don't try to use my phone as my only internet connection either so it most likely depends on how you use the tether and all.
Also, keep in mind sometimes you can install an app on your phone that kinda goes nuts and uses tons of data for no reason [could be coding issue, the way you use or set it up, etc] be sure to check to be sure it is not an app abusing your phone's connection and causing all that data usage if Tmo ever call is what I fall back on. You know how stupid us users are ;-)

sorry but wifi sharing has nothing to do with wifi tethering... I actually remove it. Tethering manager is what prevents you from using wifi tethering freely. This has been discovered like the first month the phone was released... That is why roms do not include it..
You can try it for yourself.

Tethering help needed - Bluetooth access for all Apps or enable Ad Hoc Wifi

I am looking for help to resolve basically the only issue I have not been able to figure out through these great forums or otherwise.
It seems that getting the tablet to work with an AdHoc network is not yet possible. I have seen comments stating that it may be possible through CyanogenMod. Can anybody confirm this? Or has another way been discovered to allow us to connect to AdHoc wifi networks?
Otherwise, does anybody know how to get ALL apps to recognize the Bluetooth internet connection? I have a Verizon phone running FoxFi and I am thethering via PdaNet Tablet when using Bluetooth; using FoxFi and stock wifi connection for wifi. Some apps will recognize the internet connection while others will not. Is there some way to point all apps to the Bluetooth internet connection?
Thank you in advance for your input.

you need to recompile the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc.
If you don't want to do this, most versions of aokp/cm will have it working.
if you are using foxfi, you shouldn't need to worry about ad-hoc

I may be falsely assuming that it is an ad-hoc issue just due to what I have read from others commenting on the issue (re: your comment about FoxFi).
I am going to start by trying one of the more recent CM nightly releases (cm-10.2-20131105-NIGHTLY-flo) and do a little research to see what is involved in recompiling the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc and respond back.
Thank you for the input!

Does Pdanet create a connection as a VPN or actual bluetooth tethering? If it's the former, there's the reason. I'm under the impression that apps will be able to properly understand a bluetooth internet connection (via bluetooth PAN I believe)

When I tested FoxFi it acted as a regular Access Point so normal wifi was all that was needed to connect.
Usually it is the WiFi Tether for Root app that sets of the phone as an ad-hoc connection, forcing the tablets connecting to it to also have ad-hoc support.

I truly don't know the answer to this. Can you provide some instructions on testing this theory? I have tried the app Bluetooth Auto Connect and set the connection up with the phone as a PAN connection. I can pair the phone and my n7 together, but the stock Bluetooth manager never shows the two as 'Connected' versus other Bluetooth devices. Any suggestions?

Then I think it must be a limitation with the LG VS660 phone that I'm using.
The good news is that the installation of CyanogenMod worked! What would have been intermittent connectivity every 5 minutes or so has now been turned into a solid wifi connection. Apps that would have rarely worked on the wifi connection are now working with no problems.
However, I am still very interested in figuring out the Bluetooth connectivity option. For those who may not want / like to go the CM route, it would be nice to have a simpler solution. Plus, my wife has a stock 2012 n7 and I would like to be able to get hers connected without rooting it. Any input on how to accomplish this would be great!

Tethering WiFi with VPN

I have Private Internet Access as my VPN and I wanna use it on my phone to allow me to have a Wifi portable hotspot going through the VPN.... Only thing is, at the moment I am reliant on using my computers VPN applications which isnt ideal if the signal and connection to the VPN drops as I get taken offline and I have to turn cellular data on and off again to get it back up and running....
Any solutions? I have tried that tethering app from 2009 and that didnt work at all. Any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately the stock Android tethering application does not work with VPNs. This limitation is an oversight in the software and not a system limitation.
However there is an application called ClockworkMod Tether that will allow you to tether and use a VPN at the same time. In fact it makes use of the standard tethering application and then fixes up the routing information to make it work.
This application does not require you to root your phone but you do need to run software on the computer that you wish to connect to your phone. Also this only works for USB tethering at the moment.
There are other alternatives to ClockworkMod Tether, if you wish to try them, including PDANet.
Hope it could help
