Help Wireless NON Ad-Hoc Tether?

I was wondering if there was any type of wireless tether that would send out a infrastracture signal instead of a Ad-Hoc signal, because I cant connect my video game systems to it, only my laptop. Also, are people still working on a custom rom for the zte warp, or have they given up on it? Thanks in advance. :)

None that I know of. I'm not rooted tho you might check the all things root forum.
 
Google wifi tether for root users beta. You can change the device profile to different phones. Now as far as setting up for infrastructure, on the prevail, i had it set to the Samsung Galaxy Indulge. But for the warp i haven't really tested it

Downloaded it to my phone. I tested the Samsung Galaxy Indulge profile and it still sent out the Ad-Hoc signal. So I tested all the others, and the closest I got was the Samsung Galaxy S2. It sent out a infastracture singnal, and I was able to connect to it, but when it tried to connect to the internet it didnt work. The download and upload speeds remained 0.00. The blue tether signal appeared on top of my phone as well, but when I clicked the "Start portable wifi tether" option it said "Error". Is there something I'm missing? Or is it just impossible on my phone?
 
Ya i'm still testing, I'll look into some other things when i get off work in 3 hours and let you know

Well this is what i have found so far. You need to be rooted. I don't even know if it will. But it might be a while, this is looking more complicated than i originally thought

Sorry for sounding like a noob, but I dont know what the link is exactly about, but ive thought of something just now.. I remember when I had the huawei ascend 2 and I had this exact same problem. Luckily they released a cm7 rom for it that unlocked the built in wireless tether for it, and it ran great. Im wondeingr if I could find some kind of file that I could install on my phone that would unlock it just as it did in the cm7 rom. Is that even possible?

EDIT; I think that link was about trying to connect one andriod device to another using Ad-Hoc, so let's be clear about this. I dont need an Ad-Hoc signal at all. It has to be Infrastracture.
 
They were changing a file so it broadcasts as an infrastructure,
 
I understand, I'm a the same way til i get a backup phone for testing
 
I am using Barnacle Wifi Tether and works very well, it is free from Market, you can use a password (5 or 13 characters), works very fast, I got Internet on my laptop from my ZTE Warp by this way.

Yes but barnacle only broadcasts an Ad-Hoc tether. Not a infrastracture tether. Which is the one I need. It probably wont be able to run a infrastracture tether until someone unlocks the built in tethering located in: Settings > Wireless & Networks > (should be) Tethering & Portable Hostspot.

But Im afraid to test this for the warp. Eh, maybe I should just wait for someone to release a rom that unlocks the built in tethering.. as much as I dont want to.:( But anyway, thanks for helping me.

I was messing with WiFi tether and got it to show up as a AP, but after it assigned an IP could not get internet access.:mad:
 
Ok, I was curious so I started messing with settings... :D
check this out...

If you set WiFi Tether manually to "ZTE Blade" under Device profile and "Netd" under setup-method it comes up as an access point!! I am able to connect with a laptop however I still can not go anywhere on the internet :mad:

Intresting tho.. the laptop connects @ 72 Mbps with an ip of "192.168.43.xx" and I see network traffic...

msg me devs!! I'll test!

This sounds very similar to what i've discovered. After downloading the wireless tether beta app, changing the device profile to "Samsung Galaxy S2", then changing the set up method to "Netd (master)", it also comes up as a access point. It is also a infrastracture one.:D Im able to connect to it, but only to find out that I cant get on the internet with it. The download and upload speeds remain 0.0kb, and when I try to use the "blue tether icon" and press the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" option, I always get an error. Theres got to be some way to make it work... but sadly I just dont know how.:( So i've been patiently waiting for someone to make a custom rom that might be able to unlock this feature, but that has yet to be done. Snake X is working on it, but he seems like he's having trouble. I'll try to email as many rom developers as possible tomorrow and ask for help.
 
Anybody try lowering the MTU for the connection once it has been established? That's what I had to do to get my Triumph to work with my computers, at least.

That and what about foxfi? I haven't seen anybody mention it yet.

I tried foxfi.. froze my phone each time I tried to turn it on. :(
 
I have tried everything. FoxFi just locks up my phone, however 1 single time I got the hotspot feature turned on. My PS3 recognized my phone as a hotspot, but would not connect. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled this app many more times, but still locks up my phone :( I have been through the app store and tried many different apps, but nothing seems to work. My phone is not rooted, but I think I may soon try to root it. Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks...

I've tried everything too.. seems like the only chance for it to start working is to wait for devlopers to build a custom rom that unlocks the feature.. but at this point im not even 100% sure that infrastracture tethering is possible with the Warp. I wish I knew how to unlock it myself, but I dont.. :(
