There is hope. I was going to hard reset my phone anyway yesterday, so I figured I'd try a bunch of new apps I'd been wanting and see which ones work well.

I loaded the ICS and WiFi Router and at first I couldn't get my laptop to connect to the phone. I finally turned WiFi off on the phone and setup the ad-hoc network on the laptop. Started WiFi Router again and the laptop connected and everything worked. I was surfing the web. I tried stopping and starting WiFi Router a few times and everything was good.

When I was done testing apps, I hard reset the phone again, loading everything up, and installed these two again somewhere near the end. Now I can't get it to work. Sometimes the laptop won't even connect to the phone, other times it connects but can't reach the internet.

I'll be watching this thread, and if I find any tricks to making it work I'll be sure to post back here.
