[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
So far this beta has not worked. Seen by my laptop, not seen by the Prime. My Prime did support this yesterday on Honeycomb, not today on ICS.

I tried "samsung fascinate" and did not work.. not sure what other settings to try as the beta of that app has a lot more settings then the non beta I have always used and that has always worked on my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxgmon3yxx:
Can tether from my atrix just the same after the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I kept root the same way and all other root apps - including all wireless tether apps I have tried - function perfect. When you look at the facts it points to something in ICS not digging my existing tether setup (or any of 3 apps I have tried) whereas just hours ago Honeycomb was 100% cool with it and has been for the last 2 weeks of daily use.

Tethering 4G with Sprint Hot Spot hack from ET4G no problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I tried wifi tether beta 3.1 beta 6 and beta 10 , no luck. even tried out some wireless wifi hotspot app in marketplace. no luck.

ill try wifi tether beta6 again and change profile to what other poster said. Thing is Wireless tether app uses infrastructure mode so it shouldn't be an issue. I can understand barnacle because that uses ad hoc connection. We need to figure this out asap for people who use 3rd party tether app.

edit: doesn't work with wifi tether 3.1 beta 6 device profile set to Samsung fascinate.

My wireless tether and barnacle worked fine on my Atrix4g before ICS update on Prime. we need to solve this mystery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Amen brother.. I am busting my ass right now trying all kinds of apps and settings and nothing is working where it all worked perfect for weeks. Bummer!

ClockworkMod Tether requires a download component on the tethered device.. so, on your mac or pc you must download a server app.. thus, no joy on a tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbasse:
This may be obvious and something that's already been tried, but i had to set up my settings first, then activate the hotspot for it to work. My phone is a Captivate running teamhacksung's ICS rom. Once i got it set up, i activated it and was able to connect to it just fine from my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
That stinks. I wasn't aware of that. Sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
try this on wifi tether 3.1-beta6, go to settings and check wifi-driver reload. dont change anything else

I see no such setting
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mwbarb:
I have this checked as well as Enable MSS clamping and Enable Routing-fix. Tethering has worked perfectly with my Prime before and after the ICS update. Of course given that I'm tethering to my EVO 3D, I have that device checked under the Device-Profile.

rooted, verizon wireless, samsung droid charge WIFI is ONCE AGAIN WORKING using 3.1.6 and samsung fascinate device profile! Thanks everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I wonder, in wifi tether 3.1-beta6, if settings have to be changed in

Domain-Nameserver

LAN

Device-Profile (tried a few, no dice)

Setup Method (tried both, no dice)

Not sure if and why, since laptop sees it fine and HC was fine.. but I am grasping for straws at this stage :(

wpa_supplicant2 not found!!!! :-[

hi, my device is samsung galaxy s3 mini (GT-I8190). in the system/bin/ directory, the wpa_supplicant file is found. but wpa_supplicant2 is not there. can i do the same set of steps against wpa_supplicant itself, and check if the device could be connected to ad hoc networks? is that safe? please advise.

many thanks. regards, mukunthan.

Is there any way to get this to work in in jellybean or lollipop? I've looked all over google shows nothing with ad hock and lollipop

Is there anything that can be done?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Posting this via my SGS2 with default tethering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
So this is definitely an issue with ad hoc networks. The prime will not connect to them. Fire up wifi analyzer, i bet you see the network, but it doesn't show up in the list. Wifi analyzer sees it as an ad hoc network, then tells you it's not supported when you try and connect.

This is definitely a step backwards in compatibility, it may have been a concession for IPsec?

- WiFi-driver reolad

- Enable Access-Control

and also under LAN check routing fix!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
You cant be talking about wifi tether 3.1-beta6 none of these settings exist
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
Version:

3.1-beta6 *** BETA-VERSION ***

this worked for me in HC and now ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I see the same, but am at a loss for how to fix as ICS seems to have changed what will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
maybe I need to take a screenshot to prove to you I have 3.1-beta6***BETA-VERSION*** installed and do not have or see any of these settings? Or do you think Iam fibbing and just dont want to try those settings :(

EDIT: I see now, you were not being totally clear.. I see that you can't get those settings available until you turn on Access-Control first and once you do, they are available in settings.. BUT even then, there is no such option under LAN and I see no wi-fi driver reload option
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I have an atrix also rooted. are you using built in hot spot that you have to pay for? or are you using a 3rd party app to tether? if the latter, what's the name and version number and anything you changed in settings to make it work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hugo_ramirez@cox.net:
Using MIUI 1.12.2 - Tether capabilites work stellar.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Wireless tether app is an Infrastructure tether method, not Ad-Hoc. Barnacle hot spot is the ad-hoc method one. we are saying after ICS update, prime sees neither one. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
Under LAN check routing fix

Under Wifi check WiFI-driver reload

try the routing fix and see if that works
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
for atrix it says access control not available. its not highlighted or youbcsnt check it off. says something about phone doesn't have all neccessary pieces to use Access control.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
you need to be rooted and grant super user
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm am rooted in already have super user permission. I think not every phone for some reason canbhave access control. never had this issue with updated wireless tether while I was on honeycomb on prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
I understand that wifi tether is supposed to be infrastructure ap, but wifi analyzer from the prime sees the network as ad hoc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
without access control you cannot grant users access to the network

try connecting a device to wifi tether, then see if access control can be checked once a connection attempt is detected
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
i don't believe access control has ever worked on my DX either,

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

not true...access control is like MAC filtering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
in wifi tether 3.1-beta6 you can make wireless tether an Ad-hoc under "setup method".. but we know, ICS is not liking that and "auto" will not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
not true at all.. my tablet (before ICS) and my laptop (now) never used access control. I tried it now and then, but it worked find without.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
My man.. this is what I am trying to tell you...

There is NO "routing fix" choice under the LAN options - only 10 LAN options of IP digits

There is NO "wifi" heading and thus no "WiFI-driver reload" option
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Bro I have been trying to figure this out all morning and just read through this entire thread everything you have said matches the exact problem I am having not only that the beta wifi tether option they are speaking of does not exist on my phone either Samsung Epic 4G Touch so what this must mean is that the application installs or looks different depending on what phone may I ask what you have?

This is totally pissing me off and about to be the straw that breaks the camels back I got this tablet specifically knowing I could tether it VIA wifi with my phone if its broke this is going back this weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
google wifi tether 3.1-beta6 and you can easily find the apk to download.

That is just a beta of an app I already use, has some different settings, but so far, no new settings matter.

ICS now tells us/me/you/some others that "ad hoc" networks are not supported yet 12 hours ago and for the last 2 weeks on honeycomb all was fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
It isn't the tablet's fault...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
wow.. truly superb and useful answer :rolleyes:

So, if it is not the tablets fault, what is it? ICS is part of the tablet, so if you want to split hairs, it is ICS and not the physical "tablet"... fine but lame offering

Either way, as I have said 50 times...

1. before ICS I used this exact same tablet and software and settings with wireless tether and no problems on Honeycomb. I did so last night and for the last 2 weeks daily. 1 change and 1 change only happened.... ICS

2. this exact same setup is accepted by my laptop even now. So laptop is fine as always, tablet is not

Pretty logical stuff.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] max1001:
T-mobile g2x AP still works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
No issues after I updated to ICS, I can connect to my portable wifi hotspot on my Sensation. I did use OTA rootkeeper so I still have root not sure if that makes a difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
Other people connect to their phone's just fine. Start to eliminate the common variables. They have ICS and Primes, so do you. What is their phone make/model/ROM? What is the software that they are using to successfully connect to their phone? Is it the same as yours or different? What is distinct about your situation? There are many variables in play here.

If it is the Prime the problem would be far more widespread. If the problem is ICS then I'd look towards software solutions etc.

I do remember reading something prior to the Prime launch that it wouldn't work with ad-hoc networks but I could be confusing it with another tablet like the TF101 or Samsung 10.1 as I was researching multiple tablets at the time.

My Sprint Galaxy s 2 epic touch 4g using sprint's hotspot app works just fine. off of both 4g and 3g tethering. In fact, i am posting this from my prime while being tethered to my epic touch.

It seems it may be a prob on ur tethering app, or the phone, or possibly a defective prime. I am on ics and tethering works for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I can and did.. and your missing the most obviosu points I have already made.

1. it worked before

2. it does not now

3. only 1 change... ICS

These facts alone narrow down the issue. It is so simple. Same phone, same software, same everything BUT ICS... classic troubleshooting 101 starts right there with "what changed?" - the answer? ICS and nothing more.

And BTW.. "If it is the Prime the problem would be far more widespread" in the scheme of things, not many people tether. Second, much like the GPS issue, some report it working BUT they are not being clear on their setups. I am. So are the guys reporting the issue.

"I do remember reading something prior to the Prime launch that it wouldn't work with ad-hoc networks" but it did! 100% did. Honeycomb did. ICS choked.

But anyway.. yes, duh, software will be the fix of course
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
Works just fine using built in wifi sharing on my T-Mobile SGS2.

if it is ICS and your present configuration, find a software solution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
no problems with my EVO 3D this morning on the road
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
The reason why your not a good candidate here is that your phone has a hotspot built in. So, your out of the loop for being in the same boat. Your not using a tether app. So???

As well, it is not my tethering app. I have tried every proven and well known and used tethering app on the market. none work. As well, the Prime supported ad-hoc tethering apps before ICS on Honeycomb, not ICS reports "Android does not support ad hoc networks" this is not a change in "my software" or my chosen tethering app. This is a change on the setup and it is not affecting you as your not using an ad-hoc tethering app. This is also why many report no issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
I'm wondering if everyone that's having the problem running ICS on a NON-ROOTED T-prime. I just got the prime and installed ICS with no root. I cannot wifi tether using Open Garden WiFi Tether 2.1.1 on a rooted DX2. I'm about to try the WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6 but wanted to see if I needed to root my T-Prime or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
again, many that report no issues are like you.... using

a built in setup

, not a tethering app. many of us do not have built in hotspots.

Another not useful offering from the peanut gallery :cool: WTF do you think those of us are doing here.... FINDING A SOFTWARE SOLUTION but until someone smarter can find a way to deal with the ad-hoc limit now imposed in ICS, we are SOL.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
no root needed on the Prime, just the phone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
buy a better phone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
He might be right I am not rooted and am having the problem is it possible all the cell phone company's are cracking down and they have made developers start finding ways to block our tethering apps? I know this is just theory however this is very strange I have never seen Wi-Fi issues where a device will not pickup an available network almost like they went out of their wayto do something here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NickSaul:
Here ya go.

Use this on your phone:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

*Your phone must be rooted to use it.*

Just go into the settings and change the device profile to what you have.

Works beautifully on my Droid Bionic. My Prime with ICS connects just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Ok makes sense now. My app probably uses infrastructure that's why it works. I remember my og epic couldn't see adhoc (froyo),

That's too bad man that it don't work for you, I would email asus so they could atleast be aware so they can fix it in future updates. in the meantime I suggest trying bt tether, or finding an app that allows infrastructure (idk if your phone had the capability or not)

Good luck with finding a solution!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
So the guy who tells me to use problem solving continues to fail to see this phone works perfect for tethering. Always did - last night, this morning, last 2 weeks. All until ICS hit. Man, your just not getting it and looking in all the wrong places and offering the most useless advice and I am trying hard to really solve this..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WildH:
I had this same problem on the Toshiba Thrive and a few others as well. I have a droid charge and almost all of the rooted apps only broadcast in ad-hoc mode. Only two worked.....the Wi-Fi 3.1 beta 6 set to Samsung Fascniate profile and changing the broadcast mode to Samsung. Or....the wifi tether app from SVTP via the market which only works on some devices.

It took me a half a day of screwing with things and researching to come up with these. From my research what i could find was that Android in general (honeycomb and ics) did not support ad-hoc. Your laptop running Windows or apple OS does support it and that's why you see it. My best guess is that some manufacturers lay in support for ad-hoc within android and likely this was available on the TFP with honeycomb at launch. Likely ASUS in the rush to get out ICS didn't write that support into ICS, hasn't figured out how to, or just accidentally omitted it.

My best suggestion would be to experiment with the settings as you've been doing. Hopefully it works. Also, contact ASUS and let them know so they can get it fixed as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
We know some people are using the same tethering application one works the other doesn't what I find most interesting is that the same Wi-Fi 3.1 beta 6 has different setting depending on what phone it's on so that leaves the variable to the type of phone

Sprint epic 4g touch here I have used every tethering app and now after ICS. None of them work and they worked prior......this seems like it's a very unique problem that won't be easy to pin point or fix we do need to start listing other phones that are having this same problem.....

Lock n load what phone do you have?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:

Finally.. a useful and fair assessment of what might have happened between HC and ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
For what it's worth, if I run the WIFI Tether on the Droid X2, ACCESS-CONTROL is disabled and can't be re-enabled. I wonder if that's the problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
use the modded sprint hotspot app, it is wayy better and easier to use. and works with 3g and 4g now. Im on caulkin's rom on the epic touch and its baked in. can also flash separate if u want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epicfailure53:
Mine still works. Samsung Epic 4G running Legendary ROM with Wireless Hotspot Hack. I wouldn't take it back yet, just find a rom that works. Something's not playing nice with what you're running.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
So.. beta 10 has a choice to select "moto droid" and beta 6 did not. Seems like more phone choices. But no matter.. selecting it still just shows in Prime as ad hoc so not dice..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Since we do not have unlocked bootloader, we cannot flash anything. Is this a stand alone apk anywhere for download?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
This sounds like it will work for me then if you have the same phone and it's working now how do I do it? Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
i was referring to jdbaker as he and i have the same phone. This method unfortunately wont work for you...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] taylorgrandorf:
Where might I obtain said app?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
These instructions are for the SPRINT EPIC TOUCH 4G (aka Galaxy S2 for sprint)

(any sprint android phone should have a similar mod, u will have to look for it in your specific device forum on xda)

JDbaker82:

Ok so i assume you are already rooted?

do u have a recovery installed?

download the file from this thread, flash it in recovery and the sprint hotspot app on your phone now works (for free of course). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394371

if u have any other questions about this process just let me know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think I kind of pinpointed the issue. for starters wireless tether app we always used, recent version, is an infrastruckture tether method. Somehow ICS changed the way this method is used and sees it as an ad hoc network instead, even though it isn't. On top of that ICS keeps say Ad Hoc is not supported on Android yet! so the acceptance protocols have been changed by ICS somehow. I remember reading somewhere how to enable ad hoc network on android but I can't remember where here in xda I saw it.

The kicker is its strange some people saying beta versions working on their phone although it won't work on ours. I will try that wireless tether pre 111 and see if it does anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I let my brain get ahead of my thoughts. Of course I could flash this on my rooted phone with recovery.. I was thinking of my Prime. Duh. brain fart.

So, where can I get the stand alone file to flash it on my phone? Or can I not since I use a Moto Droid on VZW?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I keep repeating that's not the issue. The app we have IS AN INFRASTRUCTURE TETHER APP...ITS CALLED WIRELESS TETHER APP. Somehow ICS doesn't view it as one anymore, it views it as an ad hoc even though its not and nothing changed with the app itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Sorry this is for sprint phones only i believe.. Look in ur specific device xda forum if there is a modded verizon official tethering app. If u have the og moto droid there might not be one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Find it.... please :)

I tried beta 10 - same adhoc issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willowave:
I'm another one where it was just working, IN FACT I used my tether to DOWNLOAD ICS.

SO. I had the wifi beta app with all the defaults. And now I can not connect. I'm sure there will be a fix somewhere. I'm not panicking. But it is annoying.

First the GPS and now this.

By the way, the a**hat that said buy a new phone is doing nothing but wasting space on this thread. It's not helpful. Go away.

I will be watching for a fix and will post if I have anything PRODUCTIVE to say. Unlike some people.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
OK makes sense, sorry i honestly just skimmed most of the posts. does bt tether work? i know its not ideal as wifi tethering but it can atleast be a short term solution until Asus addresses the issue.
