[G Tablet General] tnt2gamer:
I am also running the original G Tablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.

UPDATE: I realized last night that my files were not being overwritten with the modified ones, even though I was telling Root Explorer to replace the existing ones. I will delete the old wpa_supplicant.conf file before copying the modified version next time, to see if it makes a difference. Right now I am restoring everything that I had on the GTab little by little after frying my wifi settings last night. I couldn't get it working, so I did a factory reset and lost everything.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Yep. That was my problem. My modified wpa_supplicant.conf file was not replacing the original one. Once I deleted the old one manually, and copied the modified one in its place, it worked. I can now tether to my original Motorola Droid. I am using a program called AdhocAble to switch easily between two different wpa_supplicant.conf files (one for adhoc, and another for infrastructure).

MORE INFO: The problem I am having now is that my wireless quits working after each reboot. I have to change the file permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf to allow read-write for Other. Once I do this, the wireless starts working again. I even tried changing onwership of the wpa_supplicant.conf file to system.wifi, but that stopped AdhocAble from being able to change between adhoc and normal modes. I will probably try that patched supplicant binary soon.

FINAL UPDATE: Wow. wpa_adhoc-signed.zip worked for me, too. My Droid 1 is showing up with an asterisk beside it in my wifi list. This is the best fix yet. Yahoo! Thanks tcrews for posting this one. :D
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
THANX... I'll give this a try as after having gone through this on multiple tablets multiple times this smelled of a wpa_supplicant bug on TNT!
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
Rooted stock Gtablet firmware, with the TNT 2967 update that was pushed to it on 22-Nov-2010.

I have not tried any different ROMs.
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
Well basic TNT is what I originally had problems with... I'll try the supplicant patch hopefully tomorrow...
[G Tablet General] rodzero:
+1 for this post. major thanks to the poster. i was having problems with my gtab seeing my droid1 when running wireless tether, and this did the trick. for reference, currently using tnt 2.0.2 (supplemental applied to tnt 2.0.0). now ill be able to take this thing with me on the road this weekend and enjoy it. thanks again!

ps, the file flashed will not show in this quote, so scroll up to that post and grab it if you are in the same boat i was in.
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Worked great for me with Droid x.

Thanks

[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
i've become confused! can i get a step by step?

i got the zip but what do i do with all the files in it!

haha
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
I use ClockWorkMod Recovery....just boot in to recovery and choose install .zip file.

For stock recovery you will need to do it differently...

Sent from my GTab...
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
yeah im on tntlite2

hmm *waits for instructions*
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
or if anyone got this working using that .zip on tntlite
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
Hy thanks now I'm in heaven
[G Tablet General] tnt2gamer:
File Ownership

I used Terminal Emulator to change ownership of the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This is what I typed in:

$ su

# cd /data/misc/wifi

# chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf

# reboot

I think your G Tab needs to be rooted to do it this way. It worked for me, though. No more wifi errors on reboot. :)
[G Tablet General] jrfree:
Thanks for the awesome help and the file! This worked great for me. Flashed this with Clockworkmod and I have my Droid 1 tethered using Barnacle - for those interested in a visual, see: youtube video 0DCKDCL-JJ4
[G Tablet General] Acturbo:
You da man thanks. Worked great except for some reason it disabled the live wallpaper I was using and I cant restore it. Might be a coincidence. Either way I'll sacrifice one live wallpaper for internet on the go.

Thank You
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I kept having problems with my gtablet seeing the Incredible. I made the adjustment with the adhoc zip and it sees my Incredible, but keeps saying "Obtaining address" and does not connect.

Before this update, I VERY seldomly was able to get the device to see my Incredible, but it would connect. Now, the Gtablet sees my Incredible without fail, but will not connect. Ironic.

Also, the the Gtablet sees the Incredible using Wifi Tether app, but it does not using Barnacle.

Does not connect with Wifi Tether, so kind of moot at this point.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've been meaning to look into this for TnT Lite -- my issue is that I have nothing to test with (yet). Is it as simple as replacing the supplicant binary?
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
I just did the ad hoc update and now I can use wireless tether with my og Droid

no my vid but youtube[dot]com/watch?v=0DCKDCL-JJ4[/url]

I did the update on my g tabet and the barnacle part and then uninstalled barnacle and used wireless tether and its fine.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Kind of what I did:

1. Already had TnT Lite 2.0 with 2.03 patch and then updated with the adhoc update file.

2. Zapped Barnacle (it never would work for me)

3. Forced uninstall of Wifi Tether using Titinanium (Inc was keeping the version originally installed, for some reason)

4. Installed the Incredible specific Wifi Tether app.

5. Now connects, but cuts out after five minutes or so. At least that is progess......

Now just have to figure out why it cuts out....
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
JTBnet, I know you are the wifi tether expert and perhaps you can help me. Tether and using home wifi work pretty much on demand, but when I get to a crowded wii environment like the food court where scan sees many ap adresses, I am almost unable to get a lock on my tether. Any suggestions? I have not turned off config as I know you have done, but I did not think that would matter as I NEVER log on to any other ap execept home or tether.

Thanks

EDIT: I am one of the few tetherers that is using a windows mobile phone 6.5 so my issues may be different than others.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
Try restarting the fone and tablet wait a minute and try the connection again
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
I am able to follow everything but then I get stock on obtaining IP address from... :(. I have an EVO and I can connect into the laptop but not with the G Tablet
[G Tablet General] birchs:
I am running Wireless Tether v2.0.5-pre11 on my Evo. I just tested it after upgrading to TnT Lite 2.2 today and it works great. Maybe try another version of the Tether app?
[G Tablet General] ShawnWhite1:
Tethering GTab to samsung Vibrant

I tried using Wireless tether and Barnicle to create a hotspot on my phone. The GTab couldn't see it due the phone creating an adhoc network and Android OS not liking adhoc networks. I tried editing the WA_Supplicant on the GTab to make it play nice with AdHoc but despite having Root on the GTab and a working ADB environment I got read-write errors on GTab so I couldn't make the change. I was running TNT Lite 2.1. on my GTab.

I found an article titled 4 best apps for the Samsung Vibrant and lo and behold one of the apps was for creating infrastructure networks on the Vibrant. It required a kernel change to install so I rooted my phone, installed clockwork recovery, installed the infrastructure app and now I can finally tether my GTab to my Samsung Vibrant Phone. Hopefully the ability to see AdHc networks will be added to the GTab but for now if you can't mod the GTab try modding your phone.

[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
I am using Version: 2.0.5 pre 15 and TnT Lite v2.2.0- do you believe that might be the problem?
[G Tablet General] Hookani:
Hi all,

I have a Touch HD and with using WMWiFiRouter and am able to connect my phone with the Gpad thru WiFi but can't actually connect to the internet thru the browser or whatever. Any particular reason why i wouldn't be able to do that?

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[G Tablet General] JoeMofknDot:
Ho'okani what rom are you running on your g tablet
[G Tablet General] Hookani:
I'm running the latest version of TNT Lite 2.20.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[G Tablet General] JoeMofknDot:
You should try the wifi tether app it works well with TnT 2.2.0
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Ditto on the Wifi Tether app. Works great on Incredible and 2.20. Perhaps better though to go to the Wifi Tether host site and find a beta intended for the device, rather than a generic.

The Incredible beta r14 worked for me :)
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
I'm assuming you had to root your evo to do this correct? If so would you point me in the right direction of how you did it? Are using a specific rom or did just root and still just using sense?
[G Tablet General] Hookani:
If I'm not mistaken, the WiFi tether app is an android app correct? I have a windows mobile phone. But like I mentioned, got no problem tethering the Gpad to my phone as the Gpad shows it has a Wifi connection but just can't seem to actually connect to the internet.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I have winmo phone. Been tethering with the mod to the wpa supplicant file in MISC folder with the usual challenge to connect, but been working ok. I just used the wpa supplicant BIN file change to the system folder (adds * to your tehter apn on winmo phone) and as soon as I activated it on the phone and turned on the tab right next to my home router, it connected to the winmo phone tether. I can't wait to try it in a crowed apn environment like the food court at the mall. There it was almost impossible to get it to connect to my phone with so many apns showing.
[G Tablet General] Hookani:
Can you point me to where this app is? If you're talking about the XDA Mobile Wifi app, I've tried it and can't even get the Gtab to connect to the phone.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
Sorry, meant to respond to Roebeet and you on this but got distracted and lost track of thread... the /system/bin/wpa_supplicant from here just makes adhoc work like Infrastructure on the Gtab... piece of cake...

[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
Okay, so here's my issue. I'm the unfortunate owner of a Blackberry Storm 2 (yeah, I know, I know) and I'd love to tether this with the GTab just to have access to the net on the go. I'm running TnTLite 2.2.0, and while I can pair the two, the GTab won't connect to the Storm at all. In fact, I've been able to pair the GTab with a couple of Mac's in the office, as well as a BT GPS but none will "connect".

I've removed the devices and re-paired them to the GTab, and they still will not connect. My understanding of Android is regretfully limited (working on it). I think Roebeet added the wpa_supplicant into the TnTLite 2.2.0 build, so I'm kind of at a loss on what to look for.

I'm going to blame RIM right now, but I'm open for any suggestions you might have.
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
This thread probbly should have been renamed to from Wireless to ''Wifi' Tether' as I beleive that's what most folks have been successful establishing... I haven't attempted BT tether in a long while as at least initially using the 'Tether' application available for my Droid1 the actual thoughput speeds via BT were extrememly limited vs. those via Wifi so I've always concentrated on Wifi Tether even though they could be power consumption benefits to using BT tether vs. Wifi...

That said, it probably time to revisit trying the BT tether and seeing if there have been performance improvements so I'll give it a shot with the Gtab and my Droid1 when I can find a little time...
[G Tablet General] minico:
The problem is WMWIFIRouter dhcp does not apply a DNS server to the Gtablet.

You have to set up the wifi network on Gtablet manually so you can apply a DNS server.
[G Tablet General] jenjen:
Hi,

i am a noob here. how exactly do you apply the DNS server to the Gtab? i manually set the static IP, but still no internet connection with WMWifiRouter.

i have a winmo device which can run android, but once in a while, i still need to use WM6.5.

thank you in advance
[G Tablet General] minico:
Connect to your WMWifiRouter with your laptop, if it is Windows XP go to network connections right click on your wireless connection left click on status. In the status window click on the support tab then click on details. The default gateway, subnet mask, and DNS Servers are all of the settings you will use for your static ip settings on your Gtab. My subnet that gets assigned on my WMWifiRouter is 192.168.3.0 class C subnet 255.255.255.0 My default gateway is 192.168.3.1 So I assign my Gtab an IP address of 192.168.3.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.3.1 and DNS servers are the two I retrieved earlier. Once static setup is done everything works perfect. I am running TNT Lite 2.2
[G Tablet General] jenjen:
finally got the wireless tether to work with wmwifirouter. aside from the dns setting, i didn't realize that i need to save the setting.

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mspiegle:
My car stereo is capable of playing music straight off a USB drive. I have used regular flash keys before and they seem to work fine. I recently tried using my phone, but the music skipped quite a bit. I noticed that if I reboot my phone into my recovery (Amon RA), it works fine. So, it seems to be less of a hardware issue, and more of an Android OS issue.

Has anyone experienced something like this?

FYI - I just tried transferring a 10MB file to/from the phone and got between 5-8MB/sec. This should be far more than enough to stream MP3 data to my stereo.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Anyone know if there is a dev emulator(software type) for windows that I could use to test an tweak with, as I like the stability of my phone. I am just trying to start doing some work myself, so if I'm totally off as far as this even being an option let me know(nicely please :o))
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
There is a way to set up android in a virtual machine butt haven't gone that root myself
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Closest thing you'll find is AVD which is android virtual device that we use to debug programs we write. Its part of the android sdk and gets integrated Eclipse when you set up your environment. Personally, I doubt it would be worth a damn for ROM making or tweaking. I am not sure how you would load any software on it other than vanilla android. Also its painfully ef'ing slow. I can't believe with my i7 and 16 gigs of ram it still takes 3 minutes to boot, and on my old laptop it takes 7 minutes. I really think big G could have done better with it, and its due for an over haul.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
There is also the route of being able to run in vbox that I have heard, but my guess is that you would need an intel x86 kernel compiled for it....just a guess though.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Thanks for the great info, any suggestions were I might start learning more about the virtual macine stuff?

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] danv6saxo:
Hi there, I've been reading the forum for about a week trying to find a fix for my deceased orbit xda.

Problem started when the phone started crashing, the screen was going white and needed re-starting. Eventually it failed to load and froze at the blue screen with the red writing!

so I started reading and tried soft and hard re-booting to no avail.

I have managed to get the phone into bootloader and connected a USB

it recognises the usb and installs as a mobile device on my laptop but here's where it gets tricky. I dunno alot about phone's and am struggling to understand some of the processes. I have tried booting off the SD card but it said invalid certificate (i used the artiemg.nhb file from rapidshare)

I have all the original paperwork and cd's for the phone but dont know what or how to flash a ROM.

what do I need and more important how do I do it without all the tech talk.

Its a WM5 phone - thanks

EDIT - Just to clarify, have just tried the romupdateutility on raving_nanza's sig but recieve an error - am running vista on my laptop
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] danv6saxo:
Update, I managed yesterday to get the phone to boot from the SD card and indeed it flashed it and WM5 is back up and running, the new problem is its network locked (to O2 i presume). I was using this phone on orange previously without an issue????

any Idea's other than paying imei check?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] raving_nanza:

what link was it?

what error did you have?
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
When I buy my omnia 7 I thought I'd start using zune pass. It says I have access to unlimited downloads, is this true or is it limited to a certain number per month?
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
With a Zune Pass, you can download almost all the music in the Zune Market Place.

BUT...

You can only play them on a PC, a Zune or a WP7 device thats linked to your Zune Pass.

If I remember correctly thats x3 PC's and x3 Zune's i'm not sure how many WP7's. Although 5 are allowed in the Zune software.
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
Indeed, just to add to ZaForD's comments, you can only play the music for as long as you are paying for your Zune Pass. You can download as much as music as you like, but the files are DRM-protected; if you stop paying for Zune Pass, the DRM kicks in and the files are basically 'disabled'. They'll still exist as media on your computer, phone etc, but they're only enabled to be listened to while you have an active, paid-for subscription to the Zune service.

If you want to download files that don't have this kind of limitation (e.g. if you want to be able to copy music onto a microSD to use on your Android phone as well as your Windows Phone), you can buy DRM-free MP3 files from Zune instead.
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
I mix and match, i bought a zune pass for a year upfront and will next year while i have this phone.

I find the zune pass is great for downloading/streaming everything new i see/hear and getting new albums you might not want to have paid for after you listen to it, I've listened to 34 albums on this zune pass so far and bought 3 of them to keep forever without DRM and too be able to bring them over to the mixing table.

For the price of zune pass for a year to download "anything" it's a bargin if your like me and spend more than around £8 a month on music lol but sometimes regret some album buys after hearing one track on the radio ect....
[Omnia 7 General] yosnoor:
Can anyone tell me whether you can stream music over 3G or if it's only available via wifi?
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Connects over 3G/WIFI :D downloads them too the phone whenever you want them. SO you can delete them.... when out and about later with a friend and remember the track and wanna show them, redownload without any problems and play ect...
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
Hmm, sounds ideal for me.

I didn't actually know you could buy a year's subscription, and now I've looked into it £90 is a bit steep.
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
Incidentally, can you burn music downloaded with a zune pass to CDs?
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
I've never tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

As the software/device checks your user rights before it plays the songs.

So where there stored shouldn't matter.

@gcaw

Thanks for filling in the gaps :)
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Not that i condone it in any way, but if you try know how, it's easy to sort out...

I look at it that the £90 gives you 10 free downloadable MP3's a month you can keep forever without DRM.

So thats 100 DRM free MP3's a year for £90 and all the rest of the free downloads while you have Zune Pass... as I said, I use the pass to find out what i want to download.

Then mostly buy indervidual MP3s as i'm not an albums person unless it's "epic", i don't waste space with an album of a band i like one song just to say i have the album....

If money isn't an issue for you, then this method isn't a problem i've found for unlimited music downloads and listening pleasure. I can and still buy single MP3s and always will :P i just love the fact for £90 a year i get "unlimited" music :D
[Omnia 7 General] Milky1:
About the 10 free songs thing, how do you know how many you have left to keep or which ones you have selected to keep etc.
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
Just to be clear, the 10 free DRM-free MP3 downloads offering is exclusive to US Zune customers; it's not available in the UK, Australia or other Zune markets, to my knowledge at least.

Also, to answer an earlier question, you cannot burn subscription music from Zune Pass on to a CD. The monthly fee that you pay for Zune Pass is only for the right to listen to music through the Zune service; you're not buying the rights to listen to the music elsewhere on a non-Zune device, such as a Zune HD, Windows Phone or Xbox 360.

If you want to be able to burn music from Zune on to a CD or on to a non-Zune device like an Android phone or another music player, you must purchase the music as DRM-free MP3 on a per-track or per-album basis.

Zune Pass = access to Zune stream/download service only; you're not buying the music, so you can't take the files elsewhere.
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Nope you get 10 in the UK aswell.... as i said :P

They download as WMA from "Zune Pass" so everything plays them, Even VirtualDJ *thought i left that in my last post, but seems not*

As i said i don't condone nor control what you do with them. If you know how DRM works, it's not exactly taking apart a human with a spoon is it ? :P

But as i pay for it years on end i don't give a rats what other people do.
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
Well, no, that's not actually the case.

If you're getting ten free in the UK, then you must be a special case. I live in London, and I bought both my Windows Phone and my Zune Pass here, and I don't get the ten free MP3s.

There is no mention of the 10 free DRM-free MP3s being made available to UK customers on the UK Zune.net website.

Look at the Zune Pass US page where, below the main black banner, you'll see three sub-headers - Anywhere You Go, Unlimited Music, and Keep 10; "Keep 10" mentions the 10 free MP3s feature, and this is repeated in the feature list below, and terms related to this feature are given in the small print at the bottom. On the Zune Pass UK page, the "Keep 10" sub-header is missing, as is any mention of it in the feature list or in the small print.

Additionally, Microsoft states on this page that "the offer in the U.S. will remain at $14.99 per month for unlimited downloads and streaming access, with the ability to keep 10 MP3s per month", but does not make the same assurance for UK customers.

Under footnote 8 on the same page, it explicitly states that the "keep 10 MP3s per month feature available to U.S. Zune Pass subscribers only, on their PC or Windows Phone 7".

I'm not disputing that you're somehow getting the 10 free MP3s in the UK with a UK-purchased account, but that's clearly not the norm, which is why I'm trying to make that fact clear to other users, who can't reasonably expect to get something as part of the package that most other users aren't getting, and which Microsoft isn't promising.

mwako was right about being able to play Zune Pass music on other devices - but only devices that support Windows Media DRM. Those devices need to be able to sync to Zune or Windows Media software to update their DRM subscriptions (usually every two weeks or every month). If the DRM subscription is not updated within that period, the DRM validation 'expires' and the media become unusable until the validation is updated.

However, the original question was about being able to burn Zune Pass subscription music to a CD, and the answer to that is no.
