One thing I would love to use the G Tab for is navigation, is there any way to tether another android device (either wifi or bt) for this to work? Of course you'd at least have to tether wifi for the data alone, but that wouldn't be enough for navigation, so is it possible to share the GPS/location info over wifi or perhaps simultaneously paired with Bluetooth?
I've tried this before with TomTom on my iPod touch with no luck, but I'm hoping android is a little more functional ha

Is it possible to connect two phones via WiFi? Does anyone have any idea on how make this happen that can point me in the right direction? I wanna work on this for my senior design project. I basically want to share the sdcard with another phone
Maybe having one phone as a hotspot, and the other connecting to it, or thru an already existent wireless network
Thanks
Anyone? ....
You can probably by creating one phone as access point and connecting the other through ad-hoc connection.
I never did, though had used this type of connectivity on PCs.

Probably you want to make something like that:
frostwire.com/android/
p2p client connects phones via WiFi and shares photo, music, video, documents
they have opened sources but not for Android version.
Sadly you'll need to hack android to allow ad hoc wifi. On another note, Bluetooth 3.0 is kind of what you are talking about but not like a NAS setup which you are wanting. BT 3.0 sets connects/handshakes two devices by bt then turns on wifi for faster speeds. The only devices that I know have BT 3.0 as of now are the Samsung Galaxy S's

Some more information would helpful. What is it you want to do via Bluetooth? Share content between devices (e.g. music, videos, contacts etc)? Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available? Pairing devices on its own doesn't automatically 'connect' them as such, you need to tell them to do something .
Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available.
Unpair them, and then turn on wireless tether. It should ask permission to turn on bluetooth and make discoverable. Then on the transformer, search for devices. It should see the phone. Pair them. Then under paired devices on the transformer, it should show the phone with a little wrench next to it. Click the wrench and there will be the option for bluetooth tethering.
In that case I'm not sure that this is available over Bluetooth. You might however be able to use WiFi tethering, I'm not sure. I'm not quite up to scratch with everything that Cyanogenmod offers. Check under 'Settings' > 'Wireless and network' > 'Tethering' (if available) and see what there is. It might be called WiFi tethering or Mobile AP or something of that ilk. If not then perhaps you could ask over at the Cyanogenmod forums, or wait for someone else here to come up with a better answer .
[EDIT]: @lordgodgeneral: Hmm, interesting. I'll have to check this one out myself and see what I can do with it. I guess there was no need to wait for an answer after all .
Was able to do it through pdanet table beta but still can't do it with wireless thether app.
thanks for the help.

Thanks finally works, had to keep trying. Way better than pdanet that only the browser worked.

Is it true that TF101 can only connect wirelessly to the inter via bluetooth tethering? that might be a problem because my XPERIA X10 2.3 does not have an option for Bluetooth tethering but for wifi and usb tethering

No, that is not true. You can connect through wifi. I do it every day.
Is there a way I can share my Android's phone internet connection with my iPod Touch either via Wifi or Bluetooth.
I don't see a setting in iOS to receive internet over Bluetooth anywhere, so I assume Wifi would be the way to go.
I can get Internet over Wifi on my Windows Mobile phone with WmWifi router, is there a way to do this on Android?
Android 2.2 has this build in, what device are you using?

If your device is rooted, you could easily just get a wireless tethering application from the market.
I have an HTC Magic and cannot root or upgrade because that would void my warranty
Wait, an HTC Magic that's STILL on warranty?
Joking aside, I've seen Bluetooth Tethering apps that don't need root.
Anyone know how to get bluetooth PAN onto the sensation. I'm trying to share my MBP's internet connection through the bluetooth PAN. I already got it working through airport but i don't want others to see my connection. Yes it will be slower but i'd rather have that then to have my SSID broadcasting.
HTC sense Bluetooth stack is weird and doesn't work for many things. If your using the stock wifi hotspot app then while your in the settings page, press the menu button and click advance. There you can turn off ssid broadcasting.
I got bluetooth PAN working on a cyangenmod 6.0 using a different phone. Of course this version of the app was different back when I ran it. I haven't tried it recently on my htc sensation so it may or may not work for you. I should mention you need a rooted phone. Just stick with wifi since it works well.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am rooted on hd rev rom
Hi guys,
Has anyone ever had trouble tethering their iPad Air to the Nexus 5? I use my iPad Air for work, and would like to tether it to my Nexus 5. My current carrier plan has no tethering restrictions.
I managed to pair the two devices together, but could not actually establish a bluetooth connection (no error shown on either device when a connection attempt is initiated).
I can get these to pair up via bluetooth with other devices, just not with each other
When I ran a 3rd part bluetooth debugging app (bluetooth viewer lite) and sent a random message:
- the iPad recognised a bluetooth connection was established
- on the nexus 5, The app indicated that a message was sent
- on the nexus 5, the bluetooth icon was still greyed, indicating no connection had been established.
I tried the usual stuff, un-pair, reset, re-pair, turning off wi-fi, etc. With no luck
Any ideas, guys? Thanks for your help!

Uhhhh....why are you using Bluetooth? Just turn on the WiFi hotspot on the Nexus 5 and connect your iPad to that WiFi network.

I concur. My wife and I both fire up the wifi tether on our n5's for a couple ipad and ipod touches. Works great every time.
DOH! Just figured it out ... I didn't enable 'Bluetooth Tethering' on my Nexus 5, it may be off by default.
For anyone who's wondering how to switch it on:
Settings -> More ... -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot -> Bluetooth Tethering

My understanding is that I can tether via Bluetooth Low Energy, so there will be less battery drain on both devices. Do you think that sharing over Wi-Fi could be more battery efficient or negligible in comparison?
Cheers, guys!

Both are around the same. WiFi is faster though. And just to let you k ow, Bluetooth LE is only for things like fitness trackers. Not tethering.
