Any one have any luck using your rooted droid to get a 3g connection to the eee pad ?
If your rooted use wireless tether and bluetooth tether to the transformer. Works great for me. Its the only option I could find, since the transformer doesn't support ad-hoc and my droid doesn't do infrastructure mode.

I want to root my Xoom so I can wireless tether from my phone. If I can't do this, I don't even want the Xoom. So, if I root it and I still don't like it(because I still have a few days before I can take it back), is there a way I can get it back to the stock software and all so I can return it? I have the wifi model.
I saw some other posts on this but I wasn't quite clear on whether they would work or not. Some were only for Verizon model and stuff so I wasn't sure.
Thanks.
Why would you want to root the Xoom?
Wouldn't you just be able to connect wi-fi by just allowing your cell phone to output wi-fi signal? I can do this without rooting my Xoom.
Hmmm, I guess I am confused by your question. Do you want to use your phone to act as the modem for your Xoom or your Xoom to act as a modem for your phone?
If it is the latter, that doesn't make much sense. So it must be the former and in that case you would need to have a rooted phone to tether your Xoom to. Your Xoom can then remain stock.
My phone is rooted. I want to use my phone's internet to tether to my Xoom. Wifi tether apps create an ad hoc wifi network for your device to be able to connect to, and if you have not heard, Motorola disabled the functionality to connect to ad hoc networks in the Xoom. Therefore, it must be rooted.

My stock Xoom tethers just fine to my rooted Evo so I guess I wont be of much help.
What app are you using on your Evo?

The hacked Sprint hotspot. Haven't tried wireless tether.
Guess it depend on your phone. Using tether on my incredible and droid 2 it is not in adhoc mode but infrastructure mode. They both show up as wireless g networks not wireless b or adhoc. I also did not know of anything you had to do to a rooted xoom to use the adhoc serivce.

Well that app must run differently than the wireless tether because I know for a fact wireless tether doesn't work unless the Xoom is rooted.
Edit: dch921 what app are you using?

You are incorrect sir. My Xoom Wifi is not rooted. And I have no problem tethering with my Droid Incredible. Not using any app. Just the native Wifi tether built into CM7.

Then I don't know what the problem is because my tether network does not show up when I scan for networks in my Xoom.
I am using cm 7 tether as well.
The newer experimental builds of wireless tether apk supports infrastructure mode. Not sure which phone you are using but here is the link to the site where the project is hosted

Alright i have a backflip so ill try it with that but I also need it to work with an iPhone and I use MyWi 4.0 for that... I don't think it supports infrastructure mode.

This is 100% incorrect. I have a Rooted HTC Evo and use Wireless Tether all the time on my WiFi Xoom ( No root whatsoever).
Yeah i was already corrected on that. Just has to be in infrastructure mode. My phone has an older version without infrastructure mode.
I want to be able to have my Xoom mifi over droid X - is it possible? Thanks!
It works
Using PDANET!
Im so gleeful! Bluetooth tethering a SUCCESS!

Honestly it depends on the Droid X ROM you're using. I use Liberty, and it doesn't have built in wireless hotspot or (last I checked) a functioning bluetooth tether. So I use apps. I've had a lot of success with Wireless Tether (root required)
But PDANet would work like the above poster mentioned.
I tried setting up bluetooth tether with PDAnet (Sprint Hero and Xoom WiFi) but had no success. Paired, but devices won't connect.
Am I doing something wrong?
Just to add my 2 cents on transfer speed, bluetooth has a transfer speed of 800kbps to 2.1Mbps, Wifi has up to 11Mbps to 54+Mbps, if you have anything above 2.1Mbit on your phone your xoom won't be using it because of the bluetooth limitations.
On another note (I might be wrong) I beleive that the total draw power of the bluetooth chipset is almost identical to Wi-fi so there is no "battery saving" using bluetooth.
Moved to Q&A.
if your rooted you can use wireless tether if not try barnacle in the market, i have used it a long time ago and still hear that it is a good workable program just watch out for charges from your carrier.
yes- you can root your phone and use wifi tether. Works just fine.
Jwb
I just ordered my tf101.
Is it possible to tether to my blackberry phone to use the 3g connection from my blackberry?
If yes, do I need to root the transformer first?
Thanks

What kind of connection does your BB create? ad-hoc? Or a mobile hotspot?
Mobile hotspots will work fine without any changes, and I posted a way to tether ad-hoc here, but you'll have to root your Transformer for that.

What I would love to see is a hack that makes use of the blackberry bridge RIM released for their playbook. Imagine being able to have the bridge on your BB with an Andriod App that allows your to use the bb for internet.
I know its wish full thinking but maybe the universe will make something happen. Still waiting on my Transformer BTW
The blackberry has bluetooth. No wifi
I searched for this a while back and came to the conclusion that it was impossible.
Thinking about getting a tablet without 3G, since i have a Captivate already. It would be nice to tether it to my Captivate, but I have a couple of questions.
Has anyone successfully tethered an Android tablet to a Captivate using the phone as a wireless hotspot?
Would AT&T be able to detect anything, since there is no chance the browser string would give away the fact the destination was tethered?
TIA
I use tethering all the time between my cappy and my Asus TF, works flawlessly. Not too sure about if AT&T would notice tho...

I use Wirelesss Tether for this with no problems.
My nook picks up mobileAP but doesn't like wireless tether. Fyi, nook is android based. Same whether I'm running stock or cfw on the nook.
*so easy a caveman can do it*
I wireless tether to my xoom all the time, works great. At&t has never said anything to me.

Yeah, they will be able to detect that you're tethering if you're using the browser on the tablet. I speak from experience, I received the dreaded 'we know you're tethering' letter from ATT several weeks ago.. and I ONLY ever tethered my Asus Transformer.

I've tethered to my Touchpad with no trouble. Still running webOS though, so I can't comment on question one.
Hi,
I'm using my Droid Razr Maxx HD in Europe (GSM/UMTS), and when I try to enable "Mobile Hotspot", I'm getting this message:
"Your phone cannot currently connect to Verizon's server. Internet connection is not available or weak, Ethernet connection is using a proxy, or Verizon's server is not responding".
Is there any way to make the "Wireless Hotspot" function work globally? My Droid 3 worked fine.
Internet connection is excellent (HSPA+).
Btw: Razr Maxx HD works very well globally. Best smart phone antennas I've ever experienced...
Surely this would work . Not tried it myself.
