WiFi Tether....?

---

Hey all, I just got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB WiFi for my wife. I have a Droid Incredible and we are trying to get the Tab to see my phone's wireless tether AP. It works no problem on my laptop but I am not having any luck with the Tab. Is there a reason for this?

I did a search and came up with nothing, so I apologize if this has been covered somewhere....

Thanks for any help.

The phone is broadcasting on ad-hoc mode, which the Tab doesn't recognize natively. You can however root and switch out a file, which will allow out to recognize. See the thread in development about ad-hoc to learn more

Thanks, I had actually just found it. With my Incredible I got it working by updating to the 3.0 Tether app and changing my device profile to Galaxy S. I cannot however get it to work on my wife's Eris. I change the profile but when I go to start the tether, it 'starts with errors'. And in the error section it says that it failed to activate the wifi interface.

Am I screwed on getting this to work with the Eris?

Try "android wifi tether" version 3.1 beta 2. it worked for me. Your phone must be rooted, but your tablet obviously doesnt have to be.

I cant post a link yet, after searching google for "android wifi tether" it should be the first link to a google codes page.

Yeah, the phone (Eris) was always rooted, but it didn't like v3 of the WiFi tether. It always worked on my Incredible.

I ended up rooting the tablet and fixing the supplicant file, now all is good with v2 Wireless Tether on the Eris.

Thanks for the reply though.
