Will I be able to Tether from my EVO when I get the USB adapter for the 10.1? EVO currently works with other computers.
I've been tethering wireless to my EVO since I took the Sammy out of the box. Rooted, Wifi Tether. Not sure about hard connection

I'm currently having a problem with my rooted EVO's wireless tether (frustrating) but the wired tether is working. Just not sure if it will work on the 10.1 when the backordered USB adapter arrives. Thanks for your info.
I would doubt it.. but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Follow the instruction from this thread and it will work. I did it on my SGT and it worked great.

Has anyone been able to get the galaxy s phone to connect to their archos bluetooth...my galaxy saids paired but the archos saids paired but not connected...plus help someone cuz i have no wifi just my phone's internet and without tethering having this archos is useless..
Join the ranks of countless of people having the same issue, there are many phones that do not work, mainly because of ad-hoc, do a search in the forums and you can read more on it, basically until we get root is not going to work.
Can you not tether via bluetooth (using "wireless tether for root users")?
i know some phones can tether via BT others can't, maybe yours can try it and see, i know my epic doesn't do BT.
Yes I have a epic and it rooted with a 2.2 rom. My archos is not connecting to the my phone but my epic saids paired...I was wondering if I could buy a 3g usb modern for the archos cuz I want to use my archos in my car..

The Archos would likely power the 3G USB modem, but without drivers on the Archos to run the modem, you'll get nothing.
Remember, this is a computer, and like any other computer, just because you can plug something in does not mean it will work. The two devices have to know how to talk to each other (drivers / API).
It is the same thing with the wireless and bluetooth tethering, and there are distinct differences between infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode in those communication technologies.

thanks well i have a sprint hotspot app on my epic 4g.. but its not paid for. Is there a difference in using sprint hotspot compare to the wireless tethering? Would my archos see my epic 4g if i were to use the hotspot app compare to the wireless tether app i installed?

Yes there is a difference. The hot spot uses infrastructure mode while the tethering uses adhoc. Most Android devices do not support adhoc.

I posted a version of wifi tether that works for me. Could you guys let me know if it works for others, it could be a fix for the android tethering issues across the board (remember this is to be installed on your phone)

ok i followed this guide and now i have my archos connected to my epic..i hate that i had to go back to 2.1 but i guess i'll live wit it.. here the guide for galaxy s user...

i also been using that the only drawback is that i have to go back to 2.1
FWIW I have been able to get BT tether on my Hero (CyanogenMod) working though a tad finicky. I seem to have to pair, disconnect and restart tether on the phone, pair and it works. It always pairs but fails to work (no internet) that first time.
Also i believe there is a version of wireless tether for root that does infrastructure mode wifi.

Use mobile ap in phones setings/wireless/mobile ap. Works fine for me on my rooted galaxy s vibrant. Mobile Ap tethers through wifi not bluetooth so much faster.

This one is working for me, but only on 4G. I haven't been able to get it to work with 3G. Barnacle won't work on 3g for me either though, not sure why. Although thats okay, I'd rather it work on 4G than 3G anyways.
You need to go to the settings on this, and check the box that says "Routing Fix". After that, you should be good to go for tethering on 4G only.
If anyone knows how to get it working on 3G, please let me know.
I also tried Barnacle and it works fine. Speeds are kinda slow (prob my signal) otherwise it was painless.
hello all....
i have a few question hopefully someone is able to answer it, thank you in advance.

I'm running the same ROM as you and also tried to use wireless tether. I used it with the og EVO and it worked perfect. However I couldn't get WT to work with evo3d. Try barnacle WiFi tether. Worked fine for my 3d.
For the Sprint question I'm not sure, but I think $30 extra is ridiculous.

Try this it worked great for me on my 3D
Wireless Tether NEW VERSION - 3.1 BETA6
thanks for the reply i am currently using clean rom 2.3 sp1.
on the road about to hit a pit stop hopefully i can try this out (let see if hp touchpad can go on line)
would sprint know that i am using tether and charge me?
some guy posted that he was using it until he was charged by sprint but the same person who posted this only had 1 post and wouldn't reply to me questions.
Wireless tether is ad hoc so Sprint shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the data usage

At work I do not have wireless (I KNOW) and I have a Nook Tablet. Can I somehow connect the NT to my PC to get internet capabilities using the USB cable. It is a rooted device if that helps.
You could wireless tether to your android phone if you are rooted.

I'm gonna have to say No.
wireless tethering
I did try barnacle for the wireless tethering but my wifi on NT did not recognize it.

Probably because your phone was using an ad-hoc network which the Tablet won't connect to out of the box. Someone posted a hack here that will allow ad-hoc network connections, just have to search for it.

Just wanted to confirm that I have used this method to connect the NT to the wifi tether on my og droid - actually got decent speeds over 3G

Hello, I have a HTC Rezound and Verizon is my carrier. I have unlimited data and use PDAnet to tether via cable to my laptop. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7in and have tried to tether it to the phone with PDAnets BT setting. The PDAnet instructions for this say to download Foxfi along with PDAnet tablet. After doing so I was able to use the BT to tether the 2 devices once. After that it appears Verizon was able to detect the tether and I received a message on my phone to dial an 800 number to activate the wifi on my phone. My question is....if I get a micro usb to mini usb adapter can I use my charging cable for the Tab 2 to tether my phone to the tablet and use the usb tether mode to connect the 2 devices? Thanks

I use Bluetooth Auto Tethering from Refluxa on the market. When you sync via bluetooth it will tether. no cable and bluetooth uses little battery, but it slower than wifi with speed.
what about detection?

I can play around and install the app but my question is....will Verizon detect it and block further use? I would root the phone but I'm apprehensive about what I'm reading. The rezound doesn't seem to be as easy to root as other phones and I don't know anyone tech savy enough to trust with the job. Its my only means of communication and I don't need a brick.

I dont think they will notice but maybe some else here would know. You use bluetooth tether on the phone and bluetooth autoconnect on the ipad. I think you need tp be rooted. Rooting a rezound is not as dificult as it sounds. I would not use a paperclip or hard wire. Also on jellybean it does not work, Bluetooth stack is broken.

Root, and get android wireless tether. I tether constantly to laptop, gtab 2, nook color, and on Christmas all of my nieces, and nephews ijunk. Never been hassled about it. Good luck..

Being apprehensive about rooting is really a bad excuse. Until you do, you'll just have to deal with VZW's limitations.
You also might consider this: Verizon can no longer charge for tethering
Welcome to XDA btw

Actually it is for everyone. Verizon can themselves still charge for it, but they can't restrict anyone from tethering through an app. If they do so, they are breaking the law, because of the access rules placed on the band they operate LTE on.
While I might be wrong, I suspect if you are using the usb connection instead of the wireless, you will hear nothing from Verizon. They are moslty concerned with you being a hotspot particularly for others.
