[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
Yes, my example does both... I can turn on tether sitting in my home lab and sometimes the gtab even switches from my weaker AP to the phone adhoc... usually I just toggle wifi off/on to get it to switch... if I stop tether it jumps to my AP...

Really the only params that are required are the ones I set in the example...

These global params would be same for you...;

# Globals

ctrl_interface=wlan0

update_config=0

ap_scan=2

This Adhoc specific network would be same for you I believe just verify your ssid all else is definitely same as default in tether from market...;

network={

ssid="AndroidTether"

scan_ssid=1

mode=1

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=30

}

Then paste what you currently have saved for networks you frequent below these like my 2 home AP nets, so your currently saved networks would differ here...;

# Lab default

network={

ssid="jtbnet-lab-wireless-3"

key_mgmt=NONE

auth_alg=OPEN SHARED

wep_key0=16593b8024

priority=20

}

# Home default

network={

ssid="jtbnet1"

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=10

}

Once you have the /data/ short version of your file like above... just also paste that piece to top of the /etc/wifi sample file that the tablet uses as a starting template and comment out the 2 differing settings further down in that original template file...

# update_config=1

# ap_scan=1

And you should be good to go to work on your current saved local nets as you can now, plus your Wifi Adhoc Tether.... the update_config=0 says don't overwrite these files with any found nets, or change any of my default settings... , but you can still roam and connect... just won't save any of the temp nets you find roaming as they will change some of the critical settings like ap_scan=2 if you let them update... you can always manually edit and change or add locked down nets later...
[G Tablet General] Crondar:
Most likely an android issue.

If you are using barnicle or wifi tethering your laptop will see it fine, the laptop can normally see what is called Ad Hoc networks.

Android cannot (unless tweaked?) normally see an Ad Hoc Network, they need what is called infrastructure mode, which is what a normal wireless router transmits at (unless modified to something else), so the GTab will not see your incredible's signal like your laptop will.

I am using the droid X and the 3g hotspot app, the 3g hotspot transmits in infrastructure mode by default and the gtab sees it fine.

There are hacks to get 3g hotspot for free, but I would not guarantee Verizon can't still see a connection and charge you, use at your own risk.
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
Yes there are ;) See my profile :D
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Awesome, so would you rather on person PM you if we need a sticky?
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that would be the best way to do it, and then I'll review it and deem it as worthy
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
i'm connected to my incredible right now, it works fine using wifi tether from the market.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I am still having no luck with Incredible and getting the Gtab to see it. No problem with my router at home.

I am using TnT 1.02, wifi tether app and even tried the binary file add on from the EVO.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
1) This thread seems to have turned from sticky to tethering -- different but extremely useful info. May I suggest the moderators to move the relevant posts to a new **sticky** thread?

2) Speaking of tether: Have anyone managed to do USB tether with the g-tablet? This could very well be the key factor in my decision to keep or return the g-tablet, and I'd be most appreciative for any help and advice from the advanced users here.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I have tried everything software likely, but still no wifi tether being seen by the device. I can activate hotspot and the Gtablet sees it and ask for a password, so at least the G can see my Inc- just not in straight wifi mode. Does not see it at all and I do think it is the ad-hoc issue. Gtablet not seeing it for some reason.

Could it be due to having TnT lite 1.02? Perhaps the people having luck are using Z-Pad .03 or CM?

Wonder if it is possible to create drivers for USB tether?
[G Tablet General] wheelerthomas:
Here is what I had to do after the newest dec 2010 update

#

#

# Connecting your viewsonic gtablet to your Ad-HOC wifi

#

#

adb pull /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.com

cp wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf.orig

[Edit WPA_supplicant.conf]

ap_scan=2

network={

ssid="YOUR-SSID"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

mode=1

priority=99

}

{YOUR OTHER NETWORKS HERE}

adb push wpa_supplicant.com /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf

use androot or root explorer to delete the current wpa_supplicant.conf file and copy the modified version to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

chown the wpa_aupplicant.conf file to owner wifi group wifi (ie #chown wifi.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf)

[notes]

Your ad-hoc network should be the first in the list as outlined above. make sure that the priority is set to a high number.

when enabling your teather on your phone you may need to disable the wifi on your tablet then reenable. wpa_supplicant will always attempt to

connect to the first network with the highest priority first so it should connect right up. If you have problems you can use logcat to debug.

you will see wpa_supplicant getting enabled and if there are any errors you will see it there. You should not need to set the update_config option

but if you have problems with your conf getting overwritten you can set update_config=0 and this will not allow wpa_supplicant to update the config.

The only downside to that is that you will not longer beable to save new network blocks to the file, You can still connect it just will not save them.

I just loaded TNT 3.0 and the supplements yesterday. I jus tried the Wireless Tether app from the market on my Droid 1 and my G Tab sees and is able to connect.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
This is an old guide. Anyone with any of the newer custom roms will not have a problem using wifi tether as the fix is installed. Anyone running stock can install the performace pack from rothnic and will have the fix installed
[G Tablet General] nascardudette:
I hope I am reading this right. Wifi tethering to a stock android (in my case Epic) IS possible with Gtab?

I WOULD SO APPRECIATE help here on what I need on both the cell phone and the gtab.

Exactly WHICH android on the cell phone app?

And which mods to the gtab?

If this is true, I am off to Sears TODAY!!!!

I have been trying to get assistance on this matter and have not been very successful. If there are links that I am missing pleaseeeeee point me to them.

I have some uncoming hospital time and their local wifi is always FULL so I want to get a tablet that I can access internet via 3g/4g and was leaning to the all too expensive Galaxy Tab solution.

All of these install a hack to allow you to connect your gtab to your phone thru wifi tether
[G Tablet General] stormin:
The phone needs to be stock wifi capable for this to work. I know the Droid X and others have wifi hotspot apps and services that can be subscribed to and maintain stock status. Beyond those android phones with this feature you'd need to root the phone and enable the wifi tethering on the phone before starting with the G Tab. The G Tab can connect to infrastructure hotspots, which some tehtering software can support, the change on the G Tab is to allow it to connect to Ad-Hoc wifi networks which other softwares only are capable of.

Start with your phone and get it to share wifi, then move on to the G Tab, the G Tab is the easiest to enable.
[G Tablet General] nascardudette:
@thebadfrog: thanks for the links.

re: your statement; All of these install a hack to allow you to connect your gtab to your phone thru wifi tether

Is wifi tether the app for the cell phone? I looked it up and it says its for ROOTED phones, I was looking for a solution without having to root phone.

on the same line of question, sorry I'm a noob to android/rooting etc

@stormin: you state to start with the phone. That is probably where I am confused most, "how do i share wifi on my Epic 4g ?" Is ROOT a MUST? Or is there an app in market?

Again it doesnt matter if I go wireless or usb, I just need to occassionally use my cellphone's 3g/4g internet via the gtab.

Easy tether worked first time with win7 laptop usb to Epic but from what I am understanding it does not work from the gtab.

THanks again for all the help understanding the issues/solutions.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If your epic doesn't have the wifi hotspot feature built it then you will have to root the phone to get wifi tether to work. All the links I gave you are for the G Tab. I'm sure their is a section here at xda for the phone you have.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grapeape41:
Thx, So do I understand this right? I can use titanium backup to backup my apps and settings,update to a rooted 3.29 then use titanium to restore my apps. I also saw in titanium backup an option to remove non backed up apps do you or anyone have any experience with this? I understand this isn't the same as a nandroid backup I'm just trying to keep my apps and settings and all that stuff the same.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
Yes titanium backup will do those things but the free version only gives you one backup a day same with a restore so if you don't have the pro version you might a well fork over the six bucks for it so you can back up all your stuff as for the bloatware most custom roms already has them removed

I think maybe you meant builds based on Desire HD and/or Desire Z?

Or maybe you were referring to Non-5 MegaPixel Builds (Most if not all of the above offer a 5 MP Camera, and most have fixed the premature flash issue as well.

As for me, I have been harping for weeks on getting a "Sense HD" build with a working camera (by which I mean the new Sense included on Desire HD and Desire Z - That which has the preview screens for Scenes, Themes, Wallpaper etc., PLUS offer a connection to htcsense.com hub (works really well, if still a bit light on content. WHY on earth HTC decided this new Sense ("Sense HD" is the only name I have it referred as) would not be added to other models retroactively is a mystery, but could possiblyhave something to do with new phone sales (duh) or perhaps wanting to ramp up the htcsense hub without it being bombarded with hits & downloads of themes.

Whatever - just SOMEONE... PLEASE... GET a SENSE HD build with a working camera going - it's my "Xmas wish" LOL!

"There is a relatively miniscule patch to the Linux kernel scheduler being queued up for Linux 2.6.38 that is proving to have dramatic results for those multi-tasking on the desktop. Phoronix is reporting the ~200 line Linux kernel patch that does wonders with before and after videos demonstrating the much-improved responsiveness and interactivity of the Linux desktop. While compiling the Linux kernel with 64 parallel jobs, 1080p video playback was still smooth, windows could be moved fluidly, and there was not nearly as much of a slowdown compared to when this patch was applied. Linus Torvalds has shared his thoughts on this patch: So I think this is firmly one of those 'real improvement' patches. Good job. Group scheduling goes from 'useful for some specific server loads' to 'that's a killer feature.'"

Can this be applied to the kernel used in android?

intersectRaven has incorporated it into his latest kernel, and it was up for review on the cyanogenmod gerrit. It was rejected because Android does not use tty groups, therefore the patch would have no real benefit.

If you are running a modified recovery it will attempt to install the update up to the point where it reboots, then fail because of the altered recovery.

Hi everyone,

I know there's a fair few of these popping up, but I'd like to announce the publication of my text based clock widget.

I used to use Tajm, but wanted to tidy up the layout a little and add some customisation options. I figured there would be demand for this in the big world as well, so here it is.

It has a 2x1, 2x2 and 4x1 widget sizes. It currently only uses the default system font, but I intend to integrate the font packs that are abundant on the market.

I've also got it written to neatly support additional languages, which I will be adding as and when I can find a handy volunteer translator for a language!

I'm attaching the apk for you to try out. It will lock down configuration without a purchase, but you can still see how the default layout looks and works. If you like it and want more options and future versions then hopefully you'll buy it. It only costs 50p/79c :)

I can't post outside links yet, but if you search for 'Text Clock' somewhere like AppBrain I'm sure it'll come up. It also has a purchase link inside the attached apk.

Enjoy! :)
