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
wifi hotspot doesnt work but, I've flashed froydvillain (2.2) and gonna give bluetooth tether a try. And nice to see some hero users in here.

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).
(Running VillainROM v13 on my Hero)
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.
I have a LG vortex vs660 with 2.2.2 and a MID tablet 2.3.3 I would like to tether fir wifi or even USB if possible. Tablet is without Bluetooth ...thanks
just rooting and installing android-wifi-tether should work, search for how to get tethering to work on your phone. Since wifi tether is the most common it shouldn't be too hard.
Edit: I found this link http://www.droidforums.net/forum/lg-vortex/160246-wifi-tethering-infrastructure-vortex-working.html hope this helps
Thank you xplus93 that does work on my phone. My friend can't make it work on his Samsung galaxy s continuum. Any ideas for that? Thanks again. when he sets to auto his phone doesn't give the option for netd...and it doesn't help changing the settings around...
what's up guys, I got my prime few weeks ago and I wanted to know if I can connect my evo phone to my prime to be able to use the internet on the go without root. so if I'm on the road or somewhere without wifi I can use my phones connection. I know some phones allow this to be done by Bluetooth connection but I have not been able to fig it out.
any help will be great!!
If your phone has hotspot feature than yes you can.
Also this is TF101 section, there's a Prime section.
You need to use the phone as a Wifi hotspot so it behaves like a normal router cresting a Wifi network your Transformer can connect to. Usually this is built in (take a look into settings - wireless and networks, is there an entry for it? If not, then your carrier has disabled it. If you want to get it anyway, you'll need to root the phone and install the app Wireless tether for root users which works absolutely fine.)
I'm trying to connect my Note to an Ad-Hoc connection. I'm sure there is something obvious I am missing for why I can't see the Ad-Hoc connection from my note 10.1 but can't figure it out and didn't see anything here.
I posted my solution in another thread here with same topic. Refer to it. But the FoxFi app is the solution to this. Google the apk because it was removed from marketplace. Install it on phone. Then install foxfi add on, on phone, that's in marketplace. Then you should be good to go. Tablet will now pick up your tethering signal. Root is not needed either(for phone or tablet). App works great on pure stock. Works fine on my pure stock SG3.

I'm not really looking for a tether solution. I can tether to my phone just fine. I specifically want to know if there is a way to get the Note 10.1 to connect to and ad-hoc network for another reason. I do presentations and sometimes. Often I can do them right from the note using the All-Share Cast Dongle, but sometimes (due to issues w/ Dongle working with certain adaptors) I have to have my laptop connected to the projector and want to control it with remote desktop with my tablet. I want to do this without relying on my host having wifi I can use. So I need ad-hoc connectivity to connect to my laptop directly without having to lug around a wireless router.
On another note, out of curiosity I tried FoxFi and it doesn't work on my phone anyway. The built-in (stock) tether app works great and is all I need.
Lopk for a wifi direct type program for your laptop or try bluetooth dun. Type connection. Pdanet could ne a solution just not sure. Some type of device to device metwork is needed .if your laptop has iis there could be a solution in it.

Hi!
I want to ask you: Have you solved this?
I also need to connect to an ad-hoc.
I've read: on some other android devices they root and replace their wpa_suplicant. Does anybody know if it is also possible on Note 10.1 ?
Sry for my english...
Thx
Never did get it to work. I'm on stock without root and just being lazy. Accomplished my task with a $20 wifi router.

Hey Folks,
I've been using my Note GT-N7000 to tether with my Note 10.1 over bluetooth, which works just great if I explicitly connect the two. However, if say for example, the Note 10.1 is in my office, and the Note GT-N7000 is in my pocket, and I leave the office, the two won't automatically reconnect to each other when I return. I have to manually connect them again.
Is there any way to have the two automatically reconnect to each other when they are in proximity?
Thanks,
Drkmtr
Hey drkmtr, sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'd love to be able to get the bluetooth tethering to work. I'm also using a GT-N7000 and a Note 10.1 but I have had no luck. Are you using a 3rd party app to share the internet?
In my case everything connects, on my Note 10.1 the box "Use for internet access" is checked in bluetooth settings. But it just doesn't work for me.
Thanks for your reply mate,
The BT tethering works out of the box for me, no third party apps required, although I am running a custom ICS ROM on the N7000. How have you got your N7000 setup? I assume you have BT tethering enabled in your N7000 settings?
You could try a third party app "BT Auto Tethering" on the N7000 and it's sister app "BT Auto Connect" on the 10.1... both available from the market gratis.

I'm running Paranoid JB nightlies on my phone and stock on the tablet. Thanks for the market apps I, will give those a try.
Maybe I should go back ti ics on my phone.
I do this exact same thing as well and I haven't figured out a way to get them to auto connect either

Did anyone find a way to get auto-reconnect functionality with BT tethering?
I tether my Note to my Evo 3D using the stock BT tethering while at work. It works great except for my phone's crappy connection in my building (I blame Rogers).
Also, is anyone else experiencing drops in the tether connection when the Note sits idle for a while. If I initiate the tether, then let the tablet sit for a while unused, often when I pick it up to use it the tether connection is dead. The statusbar still states there's a tethered internet connection (as it does on my Evo 3D), but none of my apps will be able to connect to the web. The only way to re-establish the link is to turn BT off on the Note, and then turn it back on and re-initiate the tether.
Ooo... my 1,000th post.
