Hi,
I have the wifi-only XOOM (nonrooted) and a rooted HTC EVO. I can pair and connect each device with another blue-tooth device, so I know that both have blue-tooth working.
I can't get the Xoom and EVO to connect via blue-tooth. It says "paired but not connected" and when I try to click on it to connect it, nothing will happen (on other items it will search...then connect). The only options available to me are rename device and unpair.
I've rebooted, nothing works. I've tried the instructions for tethering, and just trying to get the blue-tooth connection to work.
1. Has anyone successfully paired the wifi only xoom with the evo?
2. Any ideas or suggestions for me?
Thanks. This is really frustrating because the tethering is the reason I bought the wifi only xoom.
Edit: I thought I typed this, but it is not showing. Somewhere on XDA are the instructions for wireless tethering, (sorry don't have link handy) and I have followed them. Doesn't work.
I rooted my EVO with CM7 and the Hotspot software came pre-installed. I just tether to my xoom with that, no problems. It's pretty fast on 3G.

My EVO has Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] which has the wireless tether built in. Is your xoom rooted or non? Mine is not.
yeah, it would be great if someone could figure out how to tether via bluetooth with an EVO to the Xoom; my wife has a non rooted evo, and a wifi only xoom, and wishes she could tether..
My rooted EVO does wifi tether easily to the xoom, but, it wont tether via bluetooth either; it shows "paired", but never connected..
Anyone figured this out yet?
thanks
same here. I have rooted Evo with vaelpak 3.2 on it and the wifi tether app works great but I can't get Bluetooth to tether at all. I hear that is a faster connection so I want to try it but the is no option to tether after clicking the wrench

I have the same problem running a rooted evo with MYN 2.2 RLS5. Paired but not connected is the only thing I can get. I download the newest wireless tether app and could not get it to work.
I can can tether using Wireless tether using an open connection but when I try to encrypt I cannot get it to work. I sure would like a fix before my trial runs out on the xoom.

I do not have an EVO, I have a droid OG , but ran into a similar problem. I made a video on the subject. I apologize if this does not work for you but try it out. I recommend unpairing your devices first and start where the video starts. I had to unpair to get mine working. Since your rooted it shouldn't be a problem and take a minute to try it out.

if your phone is rooted, its super easy to tether via wifi; hundreds of posts all over this board and the internet about it.
its tethering via bluetooth that doesnt seem to work on an evo..

Thank you but I never receive the part that says tethering under the wrench, it only says unpair and rename device.

Thanks, I find all of the tether wifi posts, and I can do that. I thought I had seen that some evo users were able to tether by bluetooth, but maybe not. Maybe when the sd card slot patch comes out it will fix it.

when i did a hard restart i stayed rooted with fresh 1.1 (wired) but the apps were gone except superuser. i found them all again except tether.. and i cant seem to find that anywhere.
any ideas how to get it again? can i tether without it? is it safe to flash fresh 1.1 on top of 1.1?
just reflash if you cant find it
Google android WiFi tether. First result that comes up. Make sure you get the HTC 1.7 pre
You have a rooted HTC Hero? Try downloading and installing this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi..._1_61-pre1_htc.apk&can=2&q=label:Experimental
Hope that helps. It worked fine for me.
ya i think thats the one i ended up getting =)
crap.. i think i got this one
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ss_tether_1_70-pre1_htc.apk&can=2&q=HTC+Donut
so when you tether i guess you are doing it over bluetooth and not the usb link?

It generates a WiFi signal. You don't need to have it plugged into the USB cable. I'm not sure if that answers your question.
in a way yes.. at their web site they also have instructions to use bluetooth, in which case you could run on either mobile or wifi depending on what your using your phone on at the time.
wonder whats faster to link via wifi or bluetooth.
i did a serch for a tether walkthrough/ howto and didnt find much, not even on youtube
Bluetooth is slow as molasses compared to WiFi. I have no idea if you can do BT tether with our phones or not, though.

I think it works, but your BT Adpater has to be setup for it. I don't know much about BT other than pairing lol. Ad-Hoc = Easy&Fast.
they have the youtube vid linked.. i think it would work, but i have to install my laptop bt drivers to test.

Hey, yes, I know there are already several threads about this but I am a bit confused. My Set up: CDMA Hero CM 6.1 stable. Me being a newb for the most part to all of this...I just found out the other day...after have a rooted phone for about 6 months...that my hero can do wireless tether. So I installed the app and bam...works like a charm, immediately after installing and running for the first time, my ps3 DID detect and connect to my phone wirelessly. I even played a round of free-for-all on Black Ops to test it out and it worked great. Now today I had some down time so I figured I'd play some COD...but now my ps3 is NOT detecting or connecting with my phone. WTF!? I should also mention that after installing wireless tether on my wife's rooted EVO(froyo), I was also able to connect through her EVO on the PS3. Haven't tried using the Evo again as it's currently not in front of me. Just curious why it worked then and not now, or why it even worked at all if the PS3 supposedly doesn't pick up ad-hoc?(From what I've gathered, Wireless Tether uses AdHoc) I do have full EasyTether, which I was using before I discovered WT, so I'm not SOL, but I was hoping to finally be able to eliminate the cords and wires and what not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
Wife just got back home, grabbed her evo, and what do you know...ps3 connects with no issues...so now I have to figure out what happened or what I did to my phone to "F" it up. I am running DroidWall...the firewall is disabled, wireless tether is checked on whitelist, but this was the case when my phone was connected to the ps3 before, but I'm thinking that perhaps this or some other app is interfering. Anything I should make sure is allowed or denied data access? I'm at a loss.
^Bump^ Please...any ideas
Hi Guys,
In the last three days I've learned how to root my captivate, side-load apps, installed barnacle and wifi tether, all in the hopes of using my TF while on the road with my Captivate.
Unfortunately I cant get BT or Ad Hoc tethering to work.
I get the paired but not connected error when using BT
My TF is 8.2.3.13 so I can't root (without downgrading to 8.2.3.9 which I'm kind of afraid to do).
Does anyone know if I need to install a custom rom on my captivate in order to get the BT to tether?
I've probably read 100 threads in hopes of getting this to work, but at this point I might have to return the TF and get an ipad (yuck) just to get some connectivity for working on the road.
Any suggestions would be very very appreciated.
Regards,
wunshot
I'm assuming you want to use internet from your phone to tether to the tablet correct? Installing a custom rom is one way of achieving this. I use cognition rom which comes with the ability to tether through wifi. You need to activate that on the phone and have the tablet connect to the phone's wifi network.
I'm not sure if you were doing this but you cannot create an ad hoc network on the tablet and connect the phone to it to tether. The phone has to be the host and the tablet the client.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You don't want bluetooth. SirSid is on the right track suggesting the custom ROM although there are other ways that might not be as simple.
You want to turn on Mobile AP (Access Point) which turns your Cappy into a wifi hotspot and you're good to go. Go check the Captivate forums on how to achieve Mobile AP without much trouble. If you try to use it on a stock froyo cappy it will warn you about needing a tethering plan with ATT, you can easily remove the plan check using TiBu and it's all spelled out in the Cappy forums.

I use Captivate all the time and I can turn on the mobile hotspot and have my TF connect to it.
Atleast I'm not aware of being able to do BT tethering on a Captivate. I'm interested to know, if its even possible. Lets post a thread on the Captivate forum.
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i plan on using my phone as the wifi host. I will give that cognition rom a shot. Im assuming the cognition rom creates the wifi network using infrastructure rather than ad hoc...is that the case?

Have no idea, I know it just works, it's actually a part of Android since Froyo, it just needs to be enabled and/or not checked if you don't have a tether plan.
I think cognition just uses the defualt android AP app. It creates the network in infrastructure mode if I remember right.
In any case, it just works
(Its located in Settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile AP)
It supports bluetooth tethering as well, but the tablet would need to recognize it as a bluetooth modem. I have not tried that yet. Using a usb tether would probably be best if it works however. Using wifi tether drains battery faster than than my car charger can charge my phone. I still manage to loose battery even when its plugged in.
Sweet...I'll install cognition when I get home and see where I stand. Thanks for the advice...I'll updater you in a few hours with my results
OP, I have a rooted cappy with firefly rom on it. Super easy to do and its stable and allows for wifi hot spot without stupid ATT finding out you are tethering.
http://www phoenix-hq com/firefly/
It is a legit stable rom. I am able to wifi tether easily with my TF, no problems.
I'm on a stock froyo captivate Mobile AP works fine for tethering, can't figure out bluetooth. I tried for a couple of hours but gave it up Mobile AP works great, although I hear bluetooth saves battery?
EDIT: sorry it's a rogers captivate, i believe US is still on 2.1 nvm!

I don't understand why your getting into the Ad-hoc thing. Any rooted ROM you install on the Captivate, you can make your phone a Wifi hotspot via Mobile AP settings. That would create a Wifi network from the phone, and you can connect to that network in the TF.

I tested my Capativate with CyanogenMod 7 rom. It has "Tethering & portable hotspot" feature built-in. I tried it on my friend's TF yesterday and it actually works great!!!
I put cognition on my phone and it worked like a charm.....thanks!
I have a rooted wifi xoom and a EVO 3D that is not rooted and would like to tether the xoom to the EVO 3D. Has anyone got it to work using these two gadgets?
I would prefer wireless but I have not been able to find that would work on the EVO 3D.
What about wired tether?
If you root your Evo, you can use USB tethering. Install CM7 ROM, and purchase a otg host cable. There are a few simple commands that you need to input in terminal or gscript, which brd has spelled out in the OP for tiamat 1.4.4.

Have you tried PDANet Tablet it works on both Evo and Xoom. I am using it right now and it works just fine over bluetooth. Simple and quick to setup. You can find it in the market

EVO 3D? I noticed your sig says EVO OG.
I'm having a rough time getting it to connect with my 3D. It usually connects but no internet. I once got it to work for about 10 minutes and then it rebooted my xoom. I've tried clearing cache on the PDA Net and starting over (which was how I got it to work before) but it's been frustrating at best. I know it's beta but was wondering if anyone else has got it working with the EVO 3D?
EDIT: I've tried it both with Temp Root and unrooted.
Of course, I got it to work right after posting.
It's ok for internet browsing but it won't sync with email or install anything from the market (My Apps force closes). Youtube and any streaming seem to be not working either, at least for me.
Any tips on how to get it to work? I can get the xoom and my 3d to connect but the internet won't work on my xoom after connected. Thanks
Hi:
I just got a I'm smartwatch and I am trying to connect it to my
phone. The watch requires bluetooth tethering. I have tried to
use tried to use FoxFi, WiFi tether (both of which say the
support bluetooth DUN), and BlueDUN with no success (but I
could be screwing up). The watch can discover the phone, but it
says that tethering is notsupported.
The phone is a MT4G, it rooted, but is running the default ROM.
Please help!
Thanks.
