help for tablet pc!!!

iPods and Ad-Hoc tethering don't mix. Apple intentionally killed that capability in the hardware or in iOS, I forget which.

Lol android either. Androids only connect to infrastructure networks directly. There is a windows 7 app called connectify (can't try it yet, don't have windows 7) that shares any connection and allows your laptop to funtion like a router on the network for other devices.

Droidforums.net appified!

is there a program i can download for windows vista for this? i can't get the velocity cruz tablet to connect the and ad-hoc connection either!!!

So is there no hope in tethering to my ipad? I can't get it to work from my droid but when i tried from my friends x it worked like a charm. My ipad will connect but there wont be an internet connection when I try to do something

Either your friend is using the 3G hotspot and paying Verizon for the privilege or he used a VERY illegal hack on his phone. Don't ask about that hack.

No he just used the same wireless tether app that I have.. it was posted somewhere in the first couple pages of this thread.. also in someones sig(don't remember who)

So your iPad will connect to his. Double-check the settings on his phone and duplicate them in yours. Maybe the iPad will become agreeable? We can hope.

Is the iPad jailbroken?

Nope not jail broken but just tried this How to: WiFi Tether a Motorola Droid to an iPad - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog and it worked perfectly. Typing this on my iPad now. Are barnacle and wireless tether that much different that one won't even work?

 

[furbearingmammal]

Try it with the app you already have, following those directions and you tell me.

Hey so I too am having issues with wireless connectivity. When I initally rooted(old school, rsd lite) I was using ud and tethered a few times no prob. I have tried a few diff roms since then but have ended up on miui. I have installed the latest v from ur signature and now atleast the comp shows a full signal. The problem is when I go to connwct it will show connecting but eventually just time out. I believe I have tried every combo tbhat I have seen from your earlier posts. Please help I have no internet(other than phone) and I'm stuck at the inlaws for christmas. Thx

I had issues with the latest version as well... I just ended up flashing back to 2.0.2, and it works fine. I run Lithium Mod NG, but the tether worked with MIUI 12.3.0 when I looked at it.

Sorry, I didn't see this post until just now.

Are you encrypting it at all?

No I wasn't encrypting...but I did try that too

 

[furbearingmammal]

Encryption is bad for the tethering.

Personally I'd USB tether when not at home outside of an emergency in any case. Is that working?

 

[lakas187]

When tethering, what type of speeds am I supposed to see?
I get about 1.4 mbps on the download and about 900 kbps on the upload direct from my phone. When I tether though, I get like 65-180 kbps down and 65k up....
