Had been using aNetShare on my rooted HTC Hero to setup wifi hotspots and has worked fine with laptops etc.. but seems the transformer cant see it - I guess its because its an ad-hoc network and not supported ?
Just wondering if anyone can recommend an app I can run off my phone that does work using somthing other than an ad-hoc network - or is this not possible ?
Many Thanks !!!
This prob wont help but the personal wifi hotspot option in android 2.2 works fine but android tether or barnicle don't seem to work.
Doesn't PdaNet support bluetooth tethering? Is that an option for tethering the Transformer?
trying to share my HTC heros connection with my transformer but it isn't working. Neither bluetooth or wifi.
Running 2.1 by the way.
Another option is if someone gives me a guide to set up internet sharing from windows 7, which I cannot find for the life of me.
no one? ):
Google bridge connections on win 7. I'm not telling you how to do it. You have to do some of the work yourself

googled that before, I can find PC to PC and mostly for windows XP, but nothing on how to create a bluetooth bridge to the transformer ):
Your hero is rooted right? Mine tethers over Bluetooth fine using 'wireless tether for root users'.
Running rooted 2.3.3 on the hero, the updated transformer cant see airshare adhoc network. Wirelessteather also failed in the same way.
Wirelessteather does work with bluetooth.

can you tether your hero to your laptop? does your phone's wifi hotspot work? it is disabled from some carriers

Did you have any success in the end?
My Transformer's just arrived, and I'd like to tether to my rooted Hero, but can't figure it out.
If I choose WiFi mode, the Transformer can't see the Hero in the list of WiFi networks.
If I choose Bluetooth mode, I can pair the devices, but then what? How to I create the network connection? In Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot I turned on Bluetooth tethering, but it's not clear to me if that's to allow the Transformer to be the hotspot (i.e. server instead of client).

This has been a problem for many of us....it has been discussed in a few other threads also. Honeycomb (by default) won't connect to adhoc wifi networks.
I will donate to anyone who can create a hassle-free turnkey solution for this. Many of us have Android phones that are rooted, so a solution would benefit many. And I am using a Tilt 2, whose Android ROMs do not support BT. So this tethering solution needs to support wifi.

I'm also using wireless teather, only I am feathering it via wifi. It works fine.
Success!
I reverted my Hero to the previous ROM I was using, FroydVillain 1.7.2, and now I have Bluetooth tethering working.
Once the devices are paired, on the Transformer screen in the Bluetooth settings, where the Hero shows up, there's a spanner/wrench icon - when I clicked that I got the option to tether to it - this option didn't show up when I was using VillainRom v13.
I may try going back to VillainRom to see if it was something unconnected, such as rebooting the phone, which made the difference.
UPDATE: I went back to VillainRom v13 (Android 2.1) and it still failed to tether with Bluetooth. An Android 2.1 vs Android 2.2 issue, perhaps?
Can anyone else with a 2.1/eclair and 2.2/froyo device confirm this?
Have the same problem CM7(2.3.3)
WiFi or Bluetooth doesn't work.
I don't think we should see the "problem" as our phones. The issue is that Honeycomb (whether on the Transformer or Xoom or whatever) does not recognize ad hoc wifi connections. If that is addressed, this will be solved for everyone.

Here is what I did:
1. Disabled the WiFi on Transformer.
2. Enable WiFi-Tether on Phone (with Bluetooth and check the discoverable option in the settings before you start tethering).
3. Enable Bluetooth on Transformer and scan for devices. (If you already have it, unpair it first).
4. Pair with your phone.
5. Press the Wrench icon beside the phone (that says paired but not connected) on Transformer.
6. You will find a new option called Tethering. Press it and you're done.
Agagin, that's what I did and it worked for me perfectly. I have CM7 on my phone.
By the way, this exact method didn't work on my wife's Sprint LG Optimus S. Tried everything, but no way...
Hope this helps...

I guess Bluetooth is better than nothing, but supposedly there is a hack to get a Xoom to work with ad-hoc, so must be a way to get our Transformers to work with it as well. Guess we just need to play the waiting game. Cant wait to see what options we have in another month. I have the HTC Hero with CM7 and the Transformer, same issues with no tethering, though since im not a bluetooth fan, I really havent tried it yet. Wifi tether works fine with my ubuntu/windows laptops though.
How about USB tethering? Is that an option with our phones and the transformer?

Ad hoc tether is an issue for droid and lots of info can be found on the net and xda.
I have got a hero running villain rom v13 and can run wifi tether with a modified wpa_supplicant file.
See this post
Download the modded wpa_supplicant file, copy to /system/bin, set the permissions as shown and you can then see and tether to your ad hoc hero - dont forget to backup the original file(rename by adding .bak to file and copy to your sd card)
Obviously you need root.

Bluetooth tethering works fine for me using HTC Hero GSM, Wireless tether for root app, rooted using Android 2.2.1, CM6.2 based Elelinux Speedmachine V3. My TF is UK/WW version 8.2.3.13, bluetooth V6.1.2.
Confirmed Ad-hoc wifi doesn't work.
running ics. i went ahead and disabled TetheringProvision.apk. i am able to turn on wifi hotspot through Widgetsoid. The signal is broadcasted but my pc is unable to connect. i have tried multiple other apps such as foxfi or pdanet+ but they also broadcast and i cannot connect. i have a rooted phone and can go ahead and use wifi tether but i would love to use the built in t mobile hotspot app through widgetsoid's wifi widget.
also, i am able to usb tether. BUT I WANT WIFI HOTSPOT!
NVM. ended up using http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1001732-solved-laptop-will-not-connect.html and just did some security key changing...and it worked!
Has anyone got settings that work for WiFi tether for root users on the Sensation 4G running JB 4.2.2 by albinoman887 and I have tried on other ones as well and can't seem to find a pair of settings that work.
the built in WiFi tether works ok but I am trying to get it to go thru VPN which don't work with built in.
The wifi tether for root Trev mod works with VPN app onthe galaxy so I wanted to try it for this.
Anyone know a setup for tethering that would work thru VPN on the device?
Hasno one tried to get the wifi tether for root users on this working at all?
So here's the deal. I have a rooted GS3 running stock rom, with Wifi Tether- TrevE Mod. I am using it to tether to my Nexus 7 installed as a head unit in my car. I want to use tasker to start the wifi tether automatically. I followed the instructions here (http://tasker.wikidot.com/wifi-tether) using the directions on the second half of the page. I confirmed the files are located where they are supposed to be, but it never starts the hotspot. I have checked to make sure the hotspot isn't on with no notification, my computer and tablet both fail to find the hotspot, so it is truly never starting,
I also know tasker has a "wifi tether on" setting that will enable the default tether program. I'd be perfectly willing to use that, but so far I've been unable to find the "entitlement_check" location using sqlite. I know there was a framework hack for ICS, will that still work on Jellybean?
Any advice people?
Edit:
For further information I decided to test the Wifi tether setting in Tasker just to see if I could use it, and it turned on the verizon hotspot successfully, but i started losing my data connection on the phone almost immediately. It let me go to one website, then the 4g disappeared, and would blink on and off again about once every 30 seconds. Not sure what that means.
Any update on this, trying to do the same thing and cant seem to figure it out

I had the same results as the OP with everything he listed.
Also I'm using my Verizon GS3 tethering to a Nexus 7 head unit. I settled on Bluetooth tethering using Tasker on my phone to enable BT tethering when it connects to the Nexus 7. Then on the Nexus 7 I have the Bluetooth Auto Tether app or whatever it's called to allow the internet connection to be shared with it.
For a long time my biggest struggle with BT tethering was that Pandora won't work with it. I even contacted Pandora support regarding this issue. Then a Google search revealed that you can use Pandora V1.3 with BT tethering! So for the last month or so I haven't really used Wifi tether, and there's enough bandwidth to even play Netflix in HD on the N7.
