i can tether just fine with native tether and wifi tether app (pre-110) from my galaxy nexus. it only works on ad-hoc. so i don't know what the deal is but for me, it's no problem. the native tether is from AOKP milestone 2.

HOLY CRAP! I'm FINALLY able to tether on a Droid X2!!!!!

I installed the latest ASUS Firmware update that was pushed last night (make sure to use Voodoo Rootkeeper to keep root. I didn't so I'm out of the water), then tried tethering again with WIFI Tether 3.1 Beta 11 - No luck using the Auto connection.

Then I decided to try, one by one, all the different "Device-Profile" settings found under "Settings > Change Device-Profile". No luck with General; however, using Google Nexus One I HAD SUCCESS!

I hadn't tried that before but it worked this time. Not sure if it was the newest WIFI Tether Beta 11 or was it the new firmware update or both. All I know is that it works now. YEAH!

One last bit to note: I installed CM7 on my DX2 a few days ago and it still didn't work until now. FYI

Best of luck to all of you having problems. I'm hoping this new firmware from ASUS did the job.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I just tried version you said n profile. no luck. ill try all other profiles later to see. Something has to work as its working for some n not others. your custom rom might be helping it work though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I also tried this setup for fun, and my network is not even seen. Change back to "generic" or Droid and I am seen, but still ad hoc so no joy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ctine2020:
Wow. After tethering with Barnacle for over 3 weeks with my TP and Rooted Sansung Fascinate running CM7, it stopped working today after the latest firmware update. I played around with various settings all morning and finally after installing WiFi Tether 3.1.6, and changing my device profile to google nexus one it works. Lord knows why, but at least it works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
I wonder if NOT being rooted may have had something to do with it working today?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
my droidx fails to start tethering with the nexus one profile selected. any tips? I'm also running EncounterICS X Beta 3, that may have something to do with it.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Ad Hoc

My tethering is not working either. I am embarrassed to even post my phone.

HTC Tilt 2 – Windows Mobile 6.5 non-rooted

apps used for wifi tethering: Mobile Wi-Fi Router v1.00 & WMWifiRouter 2.00

both of these apps work. I have successfully tethered on 3 laptops with this phone.

Transformer Prime TF201 – Android 4.0.3 ICS

Wifi Analyzer installed on tablet. I have each app on my phone setup with different SSIDs. When I run WiFi Analyzer, it sees both networks (each program/network running one at a time of course) and shows them both as Ad Hoc.

I have scoured the internet, and as everyone on this forum seeking answers already knows, Android does not inherently enable Ad Hoc. For some crazy reason, it worked under Honey Comb and Not ICS. The first thing I did when I got my Prime was upgrade to ICS so I can’t very for my self HC.

This link has over 4000 people and 1400 comments for Ad Hoc not being supported by Android.

I can't post outside links yet but go to google and search "Android issue 82". I've emailed Asus and sent them this link. Hopefully they can elevate this issue and request that the android community has made.

I know this is redundant to most on this forum, but I also wanted to add that I have experienced the same problem on Windows Mobile device. To the guy that said “get a new phone”, you didn’t help and why would I go buy a phone when mine works fine. I can wait and get your phone that you just bought for free with my contract upgrade in 6 months.

Thanks to everyone that has worked hard on solving this problem. Your time is very much appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ndaoud360:
FIX!!!! On my Rezound with sense ics, you need latest wifi tether and set it to galaxy nexus profile and check mark routing fix and it should work. Not sure for all ics phones or roms it will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
It will not, it is rather specific to the phone if this "trick" will work. As well, on some phones, like mine for example, selecting the Galaxy Nexus profile does NOT open up the "routing fix" setting option for selection. So, it is always worth a try for people, but it will be hit or miss.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
time to give in and bake that hotspot ROM. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZeDroid:
Well, my Prime just downloaded the update to Ics....

I could really use some good news here, I have no choice but Ad-Hoc networks, what the hell am I supposed to do?

I can confirm. Native wifi tether works fine on my CDMA Galaxy Nexus. Wifi tether app does not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
No more reason for anyone to confirm this anymore.. looooong long ago we established the facts about native tether and tether in ROMS versus not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
BTW, as an update. I said earlier my next step was to watch the Moto Xoom threads as they have way more users, way more devs working on tweaks and they got ICS. Well, for now, they also have the ad hoc issue under ICS we have. It has been fixed in some Xoom ROMS - we cannot do ROMS yet as no bootloader unlock and recovery. But it seems their ICS wpa files are blocked like ours are.

I never get an email back from the Barnacle dev that helped solve it for the TF101 :(

I got an email back from the member that started the TF101 thread that the Barnacle dev helped in, but no answers and nothing I have no tried.

This will get dealt with.... just a matter of time until some dev gets pissy about it as well and deals with it and looks into the matter deeper than I can as I have literally tried it all you can read.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krisblucher:
Wireless tethering used to not work for me.

The update that finally rolled out to Aus 2 nights ago seems to have fixed it for me. I tethered last night through my Samsung Galaxy S2 that is stock standard. I haven't flashed or ROM'd either my GS2 or my Prime.

My GPS, on the other hand, has no improvement - 0 satellites seen and connected to all of them haha.

Check your wireless tethering and report back - might be something still being worked on in the US - it would be interesting to hear from other WW prime users.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mechadan:
This does NOT work for my Rezound. I don't have Sense ICS, though. What ROM are you running? How stable is it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pktmobrien:
a developer forum just announced the calling classes for p2p over wifi.

developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html

there is hope yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Sorry... not sure what this means & how it helps? In all my research - and it is a lot - it has always come down to wpa_supplicant file edits to fix this so not even sure what your saying?

Not only that I read that URL & frankly I don't even think these 2 are related.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZeDroid:
Just if anyone is in the same situation as I and wants to stop the ICS update from happening till this situation is resolved:

1. Go to Settings > Applications > All Applications

2. Find "DM Client".

3. Stop it, delete all data.

4. ?????

5. Enjoy another 3 days without ICS. Or even more.

(Disclaimer: Obviously you should do this before all of your 3 chances of delaying the update are used up.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Conduitz:
how can you not see the relation here (i mean, sure, this doesnt make our tablet see ad hoc networks... ). the overall problem right now is that our tablets cant tether off of our phones. (if our phones are only capable of adhoc broadcasts). Getting wifi direct working on your phone and tablet would definitely provide a solid work around. Basically, a wifi tether app could be designed to work on this protocol rather than adhoc, and solve our problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZeDroid:
Then tell me how it helps me trying to get the Prime to connect to my Laptop hosting the Ad-Hoc network in my appartment?

It might help phone users, but it is in no way a solution to the underlying problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pktmobrien:
It helps by giving developers direction for creating tethering apps for our phones and tablets for connecting to p2p networks. Which is what ad hoc networks are. Ad hoc is a peer 2 peer communication. Infrastructure mode is a router based dhcp wifi connection. It could be further addressed by android by implementing these classes into the Android's ICS built in wifi connection utility.

This doesn't help us at the moment. But it does show that Google is addressing the issue by releasing classes for p2p functionality. We just have to wait for either a developer to make a 3rd party app, or Google to implement it themselves. Or perhaps even ASUS.

If wpa_supplicant works, that would be wonderful and our problems are solved. But i believe most of the community would want an android market app or ICS update that solves the problem. I'd do the wpa_supplicant file in a heart beat if it worked, until at least an app or patch are available. That's why i'm on this forum, to gather the knowledge of respected people on this the forum and to come up with temporary fix till a permanent solution is issued.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joehanratty:
I and others are still having tethering problems, just see the xda threads above. The folks at pdaTablet are working on a solution. Look for their updated app in the near future.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks for explaining its value. Like I said in 100 percent of the cases I found on the web the supplicant file - a file that does exist now & just needs a smart dev to tweak it - is the fix. It can be done & has been many times but none of us here know (1) how to rewrite it and recompile it and (2) how to deal with 2 supplicant files seen in ICS versus the 1 seen in the past and seen in all examples on the web. So wpa_supplicant can/does/will/would work we just need help doing it & need to find out how the 2 supplicant files are interdependent as I have shown in my tests that they are. Thus I will personally take that fix right now as it has been proven and relies on no further development of apps & protocols.

I would not rely on Google fixing this as my understanding it was done due to Google's choice. Asus could release a patch like they did for the TF101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willysp:
Wow - that's a big acknowledgement that either (1) they missed something, or (2) they are un-caving to carrier pressure. I suspect (2)

Now - whether we ever see this implemented is another question.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] danam:
Just to add to the confusion, I tried Bluetooth tethering with my eris running gingershedbread 4.4. It pairs, but as soon as I hit connect on the TF, the eris reboots.

Tried clean install of rom on eris and got same result. Any ideas why?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Radically different issue having nothing to do with the topic at hand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:

https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.arendmedia.wifiadhocenabler

anyone try it? My tether works, i don't wanna mess it up....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Teotsura:
Its called Bluetooth....

Wait for the wifi tether fix but you can tether the internet via bluetooth connection guys on your ultra cool Asus TP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Some can, some cannot. I, for example, cannot get BT to work. There is more to that story than just saying it.. like what phone you use and its software or ROM etc. It "might" work for some and not for others just like the ad hoc tether.

Again, this is a different issue - BT Tether - than the one at hand - ad hoc tether using tether apps on phones without native tether or a ROM with tether cooked in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Interesting find... I will try it and report back as my phone is on the "successful" list
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mechadan:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to be an app for use on the tablet side, and the tablet must be rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Yep.. I read the full description later and saw that. So, I cannot try it as (1) the risk is to high without being able to have a ROM backup which we cannot do yet.

Plus (2) I bet it will not work as most of those "fixes" assume a system with 1 wpa_supplicant file and I have tried so many wpa_supplicant files fixes and NONE work and part of the reason is that we have 2 wpa_supplicant files under ICS and so this app likely changes 1 and is not aware of the 2nd that is new in ICS and interdependent I have show previously.

Nice try.. and nice find.. but for these 2 reasons, not going to try it and not likely going to even work as it is tweaking 1 wpa_supplicant file and will miss wpa_supplicant2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
This is a far stretch. But has anybody successfully tethered an iPhone 3GS running on TMobile's Edge to the Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
glad i'm not the only one. I can't get BT tether working either between my prime and my DX. I have them paired, but when i tap DROIDX from the prime, it greys out momentarily then just snaps back with no other activity on either device. I've tried nearly every version of android wifi tether/open garden et al that have BT tether built it, it just won't go. I'm assuming it has to be the phone if other people have gotten this to work.

TF201 | XDA Premium
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've gotten BT tether to work. Sometimes you have to keep messing around with it. Clear all connections or pairing data n try it again. Then click on prime tab to connect. I couldn't get it to work the first few times I tried also but then tried i what I said n got it to work. Now it works easily everytime as prime already has data for pairing n connecting to phone. ONCE devices are truly paired, you should just be able to press the device tab and it'll connect. Then you will see a BT symbol inside the box where it usually shows the name of wireless network. You can use the same wireless tether app that was broken by ICS to do BT tether also. IcS only nerfed the wifi tether portion but not the BT. As the wireless tether app has both methods built in to use. That's the app I use to BT tether.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Teotsura:
Make sure you dont have wifi on when trying to BT tether.

I had the same exact problem and was like what the flip. Then I thought I remembered something about there being a problem with having wifi on when trying to bluetooth connect devices. Turns out that was the issue, maybe that will solve the problems people are having.

:cool:And as far as other devices are concerned I am truely surprised I have the OG Droid so any of the latest phones I would think should be no problem with this solution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ruprect:
Lots of stuffing around, finally success.

After a day that I will never get back, Am pleased to say that my beloved HTC Hd2 can now tether to ics.

I read these 36 pages after trying many apps before resolving that I was going to have to do a ROM change.....Nooooo!

But before going through that rigmarole, I thought I'd frig around with profiles in 3.1 beta 7

Finally got that long awaited vibrate..... Yaay

Profile = Google nexus one (yeah, go figure!)

WiFi driver reload = check

Enable access control = check

Hope this helps someone get a few more hours sleep than I'm going to get tonight

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
No go on BT tethering. I think it may be my ROM. i think may rom may be to blame for wifi tethering not working as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
mate I have a feeling it will be something different for everyone. I use a sensation to tether and it took me ages using that app to get it to work and since then its been perfect. Today I upgraded to ics on the phone and applied the exact same settings I used for it to work and bam no dice. Once I reverted the rom back it was all working again. So I really think triggering settings is just luck for some of us. WE WANT AD HOC FIX!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
seems like those who get tethering to work using Google nexus 1 profile already own HTC devices. nexus one was made by HTC, wasn't it. so those HTC devices can easily emulate that profile since they have similar internals already. nexus 1 profile won't work for me because o have a Motorola Atrix4g. at least some finding a solution. just awaiting the day for the permanent fix or some developer makes an apk.spefically for prime or whatever to make things work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TBTransformer:
I had the TF201 w/doc tethered to an IPhone 3GS under HC OS using WEP with no issues on ATT jailbroken using MyWi. The upgrade to ICS broke that capability. I do still have BT tethering but it is to slow for anything that is intensive like streaming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
The Nexus 1 profile worked for me and I'm using a DX2 with CM7 beta (first beta without BT/WIFI fix). Using WIFI tether 3.1-beta 11
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You using a custom rom though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ruprect:
Yes but he IS tethering through a 3rd party app, which is what we should be welcoming info about in the thread
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
We need a method or app that's not device specific on whether it works or not. We went through every single version of that wireless tether from Google site n used all profiles. Doesn't work or if they do, then mostly only on devices with custom roms or HTC devices. That's why this thread is still going on. A universal fix hasn't been found yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I've been stuck trying to get mine to work over the past 3 days now. I was stuck on "obtaining ip address". I have tried a couple of beta's and finally got beta 11 to work with my phone. I did the above and chose the HTC EVO profile and did the above and bam....it worked. I do have a custom rom, but I have tried barnicale and open garden and it didn't work. It took me about 4-5 tries testing out beta's to finally get it to work. I didn't try and use the EVO one on the other beta's, but this time I was trying out all profiles and this one finally made it connect, so I stopped there lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:

Guys, i finally found a 'wireless' tethering app which does the trick.

it's called: Tethering Shortcut

No root required and it's free

(can't post link to the market due to new account)

Note: just found out it's really just a shortcut, apparently the galaxy s1 provides a tethering option by default which works with TFPrime ICS.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
I am sorry I don't really have time to read this whole entire thread. I have a non rooted EVO 3D and just got the Prime. I don't root but I tried tethering via bluetooth yesterday cause I was going out of town in the car driving on an hour trip and was wanting to see if I could get internet to work on my tablet through my EVO 3D. Both said paired and the EVO wasn't connected but the Prime was. So do I need some app from the marketplace? I am usually always at a wifi spot but very rarely in a pinch I would like to do this. And if i need an app do I need it on the phone/tablet or both? I am assumimg it won't work since I'm not rooted nbut I was just wondering. Thanks,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
it should work in that configuration. you don't need to be rooted to use BT tether, but your ability to actually get to the internet may vary.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Well it didn't work for me. I wasn't sure if I needed some tethering app on the phone/tablet or both. I did see an app in the marketplace to work with computer where you downloaded something to your Android/Computer not Android/Android. Then another app everyone said it was just a shortcut and opened up your Sprints Hotspot where of course you have to pay.

But my tablet says connected to my phone the phone just stays on paired but not connected so I am guessing it won't work. But thanks! If anyone has an EVO 3D and Prime without root and got it working please let me know?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ruprect:
No, I disagree, I too use a custom ROM with baked in WiFi hotspot, it doesn't work, TFP will not see the phone, I used multiple apps before finding beta7 worked. It now seems to be the only app that works where native does not (agreed htc only). I am pretty sure this developer would be first inline for a fix as he can see the working code, kernel issues aside of course.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
There are no hard & fast "rules" and each phone & tablet setup varies... but there are in fact patterns. Read this whole thread & you will see the patterns. The patterns tend to matter more than a 1 off report of success or failure. Case in point... ROMS with baked in tether.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Just use the Wireless tether app normally used for wifi tethering. In the app in settings it allows you to use BT tether mode. Check that off first. Then pair and connect devices. Then go back to wireless tether app and start the tether. You should see a BT icon appear in the Asus quick settings in the spot normally were you would see the name of wireless network you're connected to. Same box that battery meter is in.above the mode selection. Works great for me till we get wifi tethering working again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
So go into marketplace and download it and it's called wireless tether app? And on my phone or tablet or both? Sorry I am confused. I would like to try this and be able to use it in a pinch when I am not around a wifi like driving in the car. I am just wondering if it will work with the prime and my HTC EVO 3D but will see. Thanks!
