Simply want to know if I can tether my Blackberry 9700 with an unlimited data plan to the Motorola Xoom I just pre-ordered.
Anyone here with a Blackberry been able to do this so far?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be great! Thanks in advance!
Well the Blackberry can tether over bluetooth, right? There's a huge thread on how to tether over Bluetooth.

I did see that thread and go through all 8 pages. There was one mention of a BB but there was no confirmation of it working on the Xoom.
Any information about this is welcome. If it connects over BT that's awesome!

The Xoom definitely has been confirmed to tether over Bluetooth from Android and iPhones, but I'm not 100% on BB. Don't know why it wouldn't though.
I'm interested in this as well. But unfortunately I can never get my xoom to connect to my BB torch, although it pairs fine.

From what I read, once it pairs you should see a "Wrench" symbol in the Xoom next to where you see the BB. What happens when you hit that?
The real problem with trying to BT tether the xoom with a bb (I tried with my bold 9700) is that the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile is not recognized/supported between the xoom and the bb. This specific kinf of bluetooth profile/protocpl is what allows you to use the phone as a modem by dialing the "data" number (ex *99***1# on GSM phones)...until someone creates a bt dun application for the android, I don't think it will be possible to bt tether the xoom to the bb.
Don't know if this will work for the Xoom, but this is apparently the Blackberry to Ipad tethering process (let me know if this works, btw):
I’m not a Blackberry user at all, but I thought this was interesting as RIM still sells a heck of a lot of phones I’m sure there are a lot of iPad users who own Blackberry’s. A user of just such a combo on the Crackberry Forums came up with a method to tether a Jailbroken iPad to his Blackberry. It doesn’t give you quite 3G speeds, but some internet is better than none!
NOTES
This will not give you 3G speeds. Bluetooth DUN using PDAnet gives about 50kB/s. Faster than edge, but half as fast as 3G. Thats fine by me, as I won’t have to pay for additional data plan to verizon.
If you are being redirected to verizon website, ensure that ‘dial up networking’ is disabled in your blackberry bluetooth options.
These instructions are for Verizon, for directions on other mobile carriers, please go here for reference.
Requirements
Jailbroken iPad
Blackberry phone (tested with blackberry storm 9530)
ibluever: Install from Cydia (you can try the demo for free. if demo works, ensure to uninstall before installing paid release)
PDAnet: PdaNet — Use your BlackBerry as a USB Modem (click ‘install pdanet 1.30′ only)
1. Run ibluever from your iPad
2. Click ‘ON’ You should be able to see your phone
3. Click on blue arrow of your device to edit the following fields
pin code: 0000 (or any combination of numbers)
dial number: #777 (for verizon wireless)
chat script: default non GPRS (refer to link at bottom for reference as to what options to choose)
Authentication: On
Sniff Mode: Off
Waiting SDP: On
4. Go to your blackberry bluetooth options menu and DISABLE ‘dial up networking’ and click save

You may need this installed on the XOOM:
Cobalt Blue - "This is tethering application using BT-DUN, root is not required. Android2.1 more is required because it uses Bluetooth."

I will try both methods once the Xoom arrives. Doing some more research I came across this app, http://tether.com/blackberry/download
Does anyone have experience with this app in particular?
PDAnet is essentially a client that would need to be run on both devices to create a BT DUN profile. Currently, PDAnet for android is designed as the "server" end of the client to pipe its own 3G internet to a laptop. As far as I know, there is no PDAnet "client" for android devices. It basically looks like CobaltBlue does the same thing as PDAnet.
I have NO IDEA if the following post that I found on amazon is in ANY WAY related to the tethering problem but here you go:
This keyboard was tested with Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom. It works with both. It works with any device that uses HID bluetooth profile. It will not work with devices that use SPP bluetooth profile. Blackberry and many android phones use SPP profile. So, you need to check with the manufacturer before buying the keyboard.

It is related to a BT keyboard (obviously) but since it states different BT connection profiles maybe someone else can use this information and see whether it might help with the tethering problem.

Okay so I got a chance to experiment today. You're super right. Anyone know of a "client" for Android to use with PDAnet on BB.
Any other methods of accomplishing tether is welcome!

You can bluetooth tether it. Just sync the devices, go to the xoom and click the lil wrench after they are conneted and select tethering.
Edit (Forget this post, this is how i tether my MT4G to Xoom. Dont know if this will work with BB)
Does anyone know how to get CobaltBlue. I live in the US and when I try to downland it for my Xoom, it says not available for my carrier.
No go on my BB 9630. After pairing, on the BB under the bluetooth device properties for the xoom, the only available services are Voice Gateway, OBEX Object Push, and AVRCP TG.
I'm a Tether for BB owner as well. I noticed people expressing interest in the forums at tether.com, but as of yet, no client-side piece for android. Maybe if more of us go there and express interest he'll make it higher on his priority list.
I know somewhere in the world it probably caused a YouTube kitten to die, but I successfully tethered my laptop to my blackberry, then used connectify.me to fake an ad-hoc on my laptop and connected to it with my MZ604.
I feel like I need a shower.

But will the xoom connect to an ad-hoc wireless signal without the wireless patch/hack? My suspicion is no....
No, but that's an android limitation, not a Xoom limitation. Iirc it was android bug id 84 or 86 or something. But connectify.me is free and dead simple to use.
I have tried using PDANet on BB9700 on AT&T and without any modifications on BB (as mentioned in this thread - disabling Dial Up networking) does not work. Clicking on the wrench on the Xoom does not bring up the Tether option.
The CobaltBlue app mentioned above does not install from the market. Will try to side load that. Will also try by disabling the Dial up networking option in BB and post results.

For the past couple of days, I've been reading numerous threads on how to tether on Sprint's Touch Pro 2 (Stock WM6.5). I ultimately decided to go with the latest WMWiFiRouter program trial (I'll purchase it if it works out good.) What I am confused about is, do I need to install the ICS_and_WModem_Fix.cab prior to installing WMWifiRouter, so that I can stealth tether? I don't want Sprint charging me. Also, do I need to do any of the reg edits if I plan on using WMWifiRouter? Thanks!

Nope just install and go. I've tested with the stock rom and it worked great.
AstainHellbring - I'll take your advice and install only the WMWifiRouter without installing any of the cabs. Thank you sir!
If this helps I've used wmwifirouter for a year or so on my verizon tp2 and I used USBmodem before that on my HTC Touch and never got charged anything for either, I'm guessing it'd be the same thing for sprint.
I was able to tether using the 3G to Wifi connection, without any issue. However, I am somewhat confused as to the steps to follow when tethering via 3G to USB. I don't have ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center on my laptop. Is it necessary to install this in order to tether using a 3G to USB (wired) connection with WMWifiRouter? I tried to tether (without running ActiveSync) this way by first starting the 3G to USB connection. After it finished loading and was ready to connect, I connected the USB cable from my phone to the laptop and Windows7 automatically loaded the RNDIS drivers. A connection was established and it allowed me to tether. What I'm confused about is, what am I supposed to select on the phone when it prompts me, (ActiveSync, DiskDrive or Internet Sharing)? And would selecting that option allow me to tether stealth? Lastly, when stopping the service, do I stop the tether from the program first and then disconnect the cable from the laptop or is there something else I need to do?

activesync or mobile device center is required to use wmwifirouter as it contains the drivers needed (vista and 7 have the MDC drivers and backend included, the extra thin gyo uinstall is just the GUI frontend)
when the dialog pops up asking if you want activesync, disk drive or internet sharing it doesnt matter what you choose, wmwifirouter will override the choice with its own connection
as for disconnecting, ive never had any issues with any means of disconnection (IE unplugging first or closing the app first)
Thank you defaultdotxbe. So if my laptop is running Windows 7, I don't need to install ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center since Windows 7 has the MDC drivers and backend included? If so, I guess that explains why I was able to tether without ActiveSync.
Personally, I noticed that the speed is higher when tethering with the USB cable compared to Wifi tethering. The phone also seems to get less warm.
Have any of you guys been able to compare the speed/stability tethering via USB using WMWifiRouter compared to USB tethering with the built in ICS?
the biggest difference ive found is that whenever the connection is lost with ICS you can reconnect the app, with wmwifirouter is automatically goes back to waiting for connection and reconnects without me having to do anything
and it gets less warm because just the cellular radio is going with USB, with wifi cellular and wifi are going (which also drains the battery faster)
wifi is nice when you just want to jump on for 5 minutes and look something up real quick, with USB im able to tether for 12 hours straight and still have 100% battery when im done

Don't try pushing the connection too hard then because mine dies/overheats a few times a day because I have it connected (usb) to my computer 24/7 for torrents... I've even tried putting a fan directly on the battery and it still locks up/dies at least twice a day.
Papaprem when it asks you how to handle the phone you don't have to do anything it will close on it's own in a few seconds.
em0rox, youre right, it does close on its own. Only problem is, it was using the stock IntShr.exe instead of the IntShrUI.exe file. The stock IntShr.exe file doesnt have the Network Connection selection box for Sprint/Phone As Modem. It just has the PC Connection box for USB or Bluetooth. Here is what I mean:
IntShr -

I basically had to make a copy of IntShrUI and rename it to IntShr.exe. Then I overwrote the stock IntShr.exe file with the renamed one. Now everything is good.

never had an issue, i dont use it for torrents or anything heavy though, just typical web browsing without having to worry about my office's proxy blocking me
i have occasionally had it overheat, but never lock up or anything (the LED flashes green and orange and the battery wont charge, i unplug it for a few mins and plug it back in and all is well)

Why bother with WMWiFiRouter when the HTC Wi-Fi Router program works just as well (and doesn't cost a thing)?
WMWifiRouter also allows USB and Bluetooth connections. It doesn't require any regedits also.
I know that the CM 6.1 supports the USB Keyboard/mouse, but what are the odds of getting the Bluetooth DUN tethering support ported over from the Archos 101 and 70 devices? Would love to hear some insight from the devs about the feasibility of having such a feature. I would love to leave my EVO tethered to the GTab over Bluetooth instead of Wifi. It would be a huge battery saver when I'm away from home/office wifi connection.
Also, USB Keyboard/mouse as a part of TnT? Possible? Worth it? Not worth it?
I second the above. BT stays on 24/7 on my phone, it would be much easier, and ideally we could eventually come up with some sort of on-demand script or app that keeps the BT DUN profile active, without battery drain on the cell.
With this in place, the gTab could connect and disconnect to the cell phone as needed, just like DUN should be. Best case scenario is to not even have to do anything on the phone, just enable BT on the gTab (or leave enabled as desired) and do some activity that accesses the internet. This would trigger a BT DUN connection to the phone, which disconnects after a certain period of inactivity (or manually, as desired).
If I knew a damn thing about how to program, this is what I would be trying to create.
That said, I'm a willing guinea pig.
Really? No one else is interested in this?
I know one of you guys out there has a rooted phone with wireless tether. I'm just starting down the root road. I have a Dinc, but it's been factory since I got it... and will be until the weekend, the gTab has whetted my whistle for root freedom.
What happens when you try to pair your gTab with your phone while it's got BT Tether activated? Any BT DUN profile goodness?

Bluetooth Tethering a High Wish List Item
For me, getting the tablet to tether via bluetooth to my Blackberry Tour would be a high priority wish list item. I am completely in the dark with this stuff but I can tether my PC to my Blackberry so I should in theory be able to tether and use the network connection. I realize that most folks here probably have an Android-base smartphone, but my company makes me carry around their smartphone (and has the decency to pay for unlimited data plan). If I could get the tablet to work from the BB's network connection I would be almost complete on my wish list. I have gotten to the point of paring the two devices (but can't seem to get them to connect). I am using tnt lite 2.02 and my 9630 device has v 4.7.1.40 with 3G, CDMA connections.
Indeed, the hope would be that the BT stack within the gTab can take advantage of BT Dial up networking or Personal area networking profiles. Then we would be good to go. If not now, hopefully we can find a way to get that to work.
Really? No one care about Bluetooth Tether on this device?
You don't have to ask me twice Oops, you did.
I am extremely interested in a Bluetooth tethering solution for the gtab. It's the only way I will be able to get a 3G connection from my phone that won't be policed at work (non-corporate wifi hotspots are monitored).
I have a Nexus One Adnroid phone (running Froyo 2.2.1). I use the Wifi hotspot feature when I want hop online with my G-Tab (my work monitors wifi, as well but I only turn it on as I need it.) I can't speak for BlackBerry phones but any "rooted" Android phone should be able to act as a 3G/4G hotspot.
Wifi tethering should be faster, but USB tethering and keyboard & mouse support are needed and should work in the first place. (keyboard and mouse support at least should).
Need a program like http://android.gval.biz/ or ibluever for iphone/itouch then the g tablet would be my laptop replacement for traveling .

Are you looking for DUN over BT? If so, have you tried this:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/pdanet/com.pdanet
Jim
I believe PDAnet requires client windows/mac software, and they haven't written client Android software.
I haven't seen anyone port the Archos home-grown BT tether to any other brand. BT tether isn't part of Android (I'm betting the cellcos in OHA demanded it not be built).
My wife has Joikuspot on her phone, so she wifi tethers on the G-tab.
I have unlimited bluetooth data, so I bought an Archos.

You are right PDANet wont work as no client for Android, but from my experience listed above blackberry refusing connections.... or may be GTab just doesn't opening connection properly.
When I check GTable BT device property from Blackberry side it can do only:
Handsfree Audio Gateway
Headset Audio Gateway
Object Push
AV Remote Control Target
.... there is no DUN in the list, so I suspect it just not supported by BT stack on device.... but also I have in same my laptop listed as well which doesnt have DUN in its services
Anyone have any ideas on if tethering a blackberry would work? I have a Verizon BB Bold 9870 with full data and tethering and would love to tether in (would it require a custom rom?)
Ideas?
Thanks
AFAIK, Blackberry tethering is done via bluetooth DUN only, not wifi.
So far, no one other than Archos seems to have written bluetooth DUN client software for Android.
My phone has unlimited bluetooth DUN, so I'm buying an Archos.
My wife's phone has unlimited hotspot, so she's happy with the G tab.
Moved to general
Thank you for moving and call me crazy but the app PDANET enables bluetooth DUN.
You're crazy At least I couldn't get pdaNET to play nicely with my BB. I actually got them to connect but I couldn't get the GTab to use the BB as a modem. I think the issue is that the pdaNET software is used to enable the android based phone as a modem as well as enable the BB as a modem but what is missing is software for the tablet or settings to tell it to use the signal as a network connection (to do dial up networking as it were).
If you have a step by step tutorial that explains how the pdaNET works on the GTab and connects to the BB's network then please post it. I am sure there are many folks who would like to know exactly how to get this to work.
Otherwise you are crazy (said with affection 'cause I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to do this).
I have run into a new and annoying problem. I have two phones. The first is a stock drod x2 the other a blackberry bold.
My work requires I carry the blackberry and they pay for tethering for my phone. I want to use bluetooth tethering to use my blackberries data on my p6210.
I setup the bluetooth and paired the blackberry to the p6210. When I do this the icon shows the wrench icon, when I open this no profiles are listed.
I verified all the profiles are checked and enabled on the blackberry.
So I grabbed my dx2 and paired the two, now when I open the wrench on the dx2 it shows "Internet Access" now I don't pay for tethering on my personal phone so I did not connect.
Anyone know why there isn't a DUN profile showing up on my p6210 even though it's enabled on the blackberry.

It's not available with the stock firmware. I don't know currently if it can be made available with kernel, firmware or application changes (but if you read the ad-hoc thread, I think I remember something about BT tethering being mentioned.)
Gary
Hmmmm, that does not make sense. I don't not want use wifi to tether. The wifi was actually shut off while testing. Just the bluetooth. Like I was saying the dx2 was able to work right and the dun profile was working properly.
This sort of limited functionality is stunning. Android should be the open connected platform but we have device missing simple options that even palm and old windows mobile 5 had.
We are missing both directions of Bluetooth and usb networking plus adhoc wireless. This is truly sad.

Oh, I misunderstood... You want to use your BB DUN from your tablet via BT? I'm not even sure if I have anything with a DUN profile to test with...

GT7p6210 support Bluetooth tethering, but only to several type of Android phones, not to others. That's why you did not see the DUN profile on the p6210for the blackberry. It does not work on the WM phone either.
GT7p6210 is my first Andoid device, so disspointed.
Is there a file we can change to help the p6210 recognize more bluetooth tether devices Profiles?
I have just got a Galaxy Tab 2... been playing with it for a few hours now and I have to say I am impressed!!
One thing I would like to be able to do is create a Wifi Hotspot so that I can connect some mobile phones to it to play games with my mates. I cannot seem to find any option to setup the Portable Hotspot though in the settings menus?
I don't need an active data connection, just the ability to effectively use the Tab 2 as a router so it creates a wireless network. Is this possible in any way?

look at the screenshots......

I have the GT-P3110 version... this may be why then. Your model number shows as the 3G version.
I get the same screen layout as 'klausdieter79' above
So does this mean it cannot be done?
You are asking how to turn the WIFI only version of the tab into a hotspot so other devices can connect to the WIFI as well?
Am I missing the obvious here?

I have the GT-P3110 version... this may be why then. Your model number shows as the 3G version.
I get the same screen layout as 'klausdieter79' above
So does this mean it cannot be done?

I think that it should not be so difficult for samsung to provide this option to the wifi version.....pitty!!
I dont think this is possible. Wifi tethering serves to share a internet connection. I get what you want to do - you want to create a network so that people can play over a network. But i think they did not include this feature on the wifi version of the TAB 2, since it would not make sense sharing internet through wifi if your device ony has wifi.
oh man
This is a joke or something?If you are connected to a wi fi router,and your mates phones are in the same room with you,whats the point in connecting the phones to your tablet,and not to the same router that your tablet it's connected already?If it's a joke,it's not a good one.Cheers!
@viasat you are a joke.
Imagine you are in a hotel and you have to pay for the wlan key for ANY device you want to use and you doesn't have a device with root priveleges so can't see the key in /data/misc/wifi. I'm in such a hotel right now!

Please be polite,if you want help in this forum,or keep your mouth shut.For me it's a non-sense to use a wifi device to be a hotspot to another wifi device,but if you are so cheap and can't afford to spend a few bucks on a hotel wifi services,maybe you can build yourself a rom for your device,to enable that functionality you need it.Cheers!
Do you think 50€ for one week is a good price to use wlan in a hotel? I don't think so. That's why it is no non-sense to me.
Ok. Back to topic. Does CM or any other rom got this feature?

Why don't you just get one of your friends to create a hotspot and connect to their network?
In a word: no.
You need two radios to bridge and create a hotspot. This is why you can bridge a GSM or CDMA radio to WLan.
Commercial WLan bridges use two separate radio chips to accomplish what you want to do.
I carry both a small DLink portable router/WiFi that allows me to share a wired connection to a bunch of wireless devices and I have a small cheapo netbook that has an extra USB WiFi connection so I can create a WLan bridge.
Or, you can buy and carry a commercial or consumer WiFi bridge that can accomplish the same thing.
So, for the time being, either suck it up and pay the cost or bring the proper equipment. Sorry for being crass, but the tablet can't do it if it's a WiFi only unit.

You haven't understood the original question mate. I want to use the Galaxy Tab 2 as a router.
I didn't mention anything about having a data connection to share... I just want it to act as a central hub to connect other devices to so that gaming can be done across that 'network' NO DATA NEEDED!!
SYGEE - Thanks for your reply, I will look into one of those portable routers... sounds interesting!!

I can create a WLAN bridge with my home router that only has one radio in it (as far as I know anyway). You don't need two radios, but you need drivers that are setup to do what they want, and I doubt you'll find many consumer devices meant to act as a router. Maybe you could setup an adhoc network, but turning the tablet into a true router won't work without a lot of hacking.
There are other reasons to want to use the Tab 2 as a Wifi hotspot:
I want to use the Tab 2 as a touch controller for the Ableton Live DAW. The Android controller app that I want to use requires the tablet to be a hot spot.
Is there a way to setup the Tab 2 as an adhoc network?

I know this is an old thread but I do have a solution..
I use this app called " software data cable "
It creates a wifi hotspot to connect between devices.. Even on a wifi only galaxy tab 2
Here's is how you do it
Install the app "software data cable"
Click on" sync phone" tab
Click on "connect with friends" button
On the pop up - select " create direct push network "
You'll get a message "tethering / wifi hotspot active "
I believe this will solve all your problems.
