i'm a noobe and it was easy. i have my inc rooted and downloaded wireless tether for root users. i set up my ssid, set up the encrition. On the tab i diabled 3G, turned on wireless and saw my network id. very simple.

Will the wifi tether from code.google work on the tab itself. Currently im using my EVO to tether but would be great to tether from my tab itself.

[Q] Use your phone for 3g?

Could you teather your phone to the Transformer so as to get 3g service?
Would you need the keyboard to do this, since it has a full size USB?

I currently have a iPad 2 WiFi, it can tether just fine with my rooted EVO. I suppose the same will happen with the Transformer (still waiting for it).
I do not think the keyboard is needed... why anyway? I mean tether via WiFi

you can definitely tether you phone to your transformer...seems like bluetooth tether seems to be the best bet right now.
Get em paired and let the data flow!

Without having it right here in front of me....
First, your phone needs to have the wireless tether app.which means you most likly will need to be rooted. Go to the settings and switch it to the bluetooth tether rather than the wireless one. Make the device discoverable. Then go on your transformer and go to wireless & networks>bluetooth settings> check turn on bluetooth then scan for devices. It should find you phone, so select it. Once the devices are connected there should be an option on the transformer in the bluetooth settings that say something about using bluetooth data tether or something along those lines. Select that and you should be all set!
If you are still having issues let me know and i can do a more detailed (and accurate) walkthrough tonight when I get home.

Yes, you can use your phone if it provides the right sort of hot spot (infrastructure). I've tested my LG Optimus with the Transformer and it works fine. There are other tethering options if your phone does not have a hotspot, a program like PDA.net, using bluetooth (if your phone has a BT modem driver). What will not work is a program that turns your phone into an Ad Hoc hotspot, unless someone gets Ad Hoc working on the TF (should be possible, they have to change the supplicants file).

Don't know about bluetooth tethering, but my transformer connects to my android 2.2 HTC Desire wifi hotspot with no problems.
Password is stored, and it connects automatically when unconnected to my home wifi.

Mines working perfect with my g2.

Having troubles connecting to my Optimus S...

I wonder what are the steps. I have an HTC Hero (Sprint) on CM7 and it works fine through Bluetooth connection to WiFi-Tether.
On the contrary, my Optimus S (Sprint), i rooted it and then installed WiFi-Tether. Then I tried to tether it to my Asus (with the same settings on both sides) but I can't find the option "Tether" in the Bluetooth Settings. It just disappeared. I tried everything . Un-pairing, Changing some of the settings, Restarting both devices, everything...
So, is there something I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something? Is the "LG" name not good for the connection?

My galaxy s phone functions as a wireless hotspot so can be used by any device that has wifi ability, im not sure if this feature is specific to gakaxy s or an android feature
Funnily enough ive connected all sorts to it xbox, laptop, ipad etc

I've used the wifi hotspot built in to CM7 (infrastructure) in my car for my passengers to use my transformer with the day i took it out of the box. Haven't tried BT yet but any infrastructure type will work. I've noticed that if the app doesn't have the option to switch between infrastructure and ad-hoc, "tether" will refer to ad-hoc while "hotspot" will mean infrastructure. Good luck!

[Q] Bluetooth tethering problems

I'm a noob here so please be kind... Anyone know the settings on the Transformer to get bluetooth tethering working. I have a windows mobile HTC touch pro2 using wmwifirouter v1.25. I can pair the two devices but the Transformer never seems to connect. On the HTC, If I go to internet sharing...bluetooth pan...it says it cant connect to the transfomer's NAP network. wmwifirouter is always waiting for a connection.
Any ideas?

I've got the same problem (although using HTC HD2)

Just the same for me using an iPhone 3G

No DUN support for BT in Honeycomb.

I don't have any trouble tethering my iPhone 3GS using TetherMe (jailbreak).

not sure if it makes any difference but i'm using my jailbroken, iphone 3GS and no problem whatsoever. you just have to enable it on the settings, pair it and you're in. getting 1Mmbps on my work area so i'm very pleased.

I think it depends on the bluetooth program your using and how its doing its routing. I've had no problems using Wireless Tether on my original Droid. Just flip it over to Bluetooth mode since the transformer can't see the ad hoc.
But I've also tried PDAnet and a couple other non root needed bluetooth tehter programs and they didn't work.

Has anyone been able to tether with the LG G2x model? I haven't had luck bluetooth tethering to my TF with it, it pairs but thats about it
No option for tethering

You guys need to keep in mind that the carriers have been cracking down on tethering. On my Droid X there is a built in app called Datamanager or something similar, which makes it so I cannot tether my phone. Once I froze it with Titanium, I was able to bt tether my phone to the TF.

iPhone 4 BT tethered worked for me
Hi All,
I have the TF and tried BT tethering yesterday with a buddy. It works fine once you have it paired you have to go back in and connect to it in the BT Menu on the TF.
I haven't tried tethering with anything else yet.

The day I won't be able to tether my TF to my phone anymore I will regret having sold my XOOM 3G I guess I'll choose my next phone carefully then!

[Q] 3g usb for asus eee?

ok so i have a 3g wireless card i use with my asus eee 1000 and i was wondering if i could plug in a 3g usb into the asus eee pad and be able to use the internet anywhere? i know that you can tether your phone and stuff but i dont have a fancy phone and i dont have a data plan to use my phone as a motem. i was wondering if anyone knew yes or no, or if someone could test that for me and any others out there wondering if this works?

if you have a 3g wireless card why not try it yourself? Or do you not have a transformer?

In most cases unless the the device is just drawing power from usb port, you need a driver.
When you had the unit plugged into your primary device did you or it launch software to get it to work?

OK first, post everything you can about the card here. Name model revision number ect. Someone here might have a solution.
Second do a google search for android and your unit.
Third email the manufacturer of device and Asus asking your question.
If the device can be powered on via USB and not require client software, that is, it acts like a wifi router, then yes it will work.

In the UK you can get something called a MiFi which is owned by three mobile, and its basically a battery operated wifi router. Stick your 3g sim card in it, and it operates as a 5 device infrastructure wifi network which shares the 3g connection. Its currently locked by three but you can by unlocked ones from eBay for about £60... works well

ya i dont have the mifi thing, but i do have my pc that has bluetooth built into it and im thinking if you can tether to your phone to use it for wireless and my pc can tether to the andriod then bingo i can use the wireless thru my comp and bluetooth tether the android device to it and bam wireless anywhere maybe a friend of mine just got it so maybe i can ask her to test that theory out ill let you know if it works

lg 2100ti turbo 3g usb
i have an att Lg 2100ti turbo 3g usb stick and a transfrer. i am intrested in a way to use it for a 3g connection. i saw that someone made a kernal mod to android 3.2 to get a USB ethernet device to work. anyone have any sucess with a 3g modem? Would this be simular to the usb switch for devian / umbuntu? to enable USBSerial?

[Q] Using phone 3G connection on Tablet

HI,
I have a SGS3 phone. I can use my SGS3 3G connection on my laptop when there's no WIFI at my location.
Is it possible to do the same with the tablet? Cause the model I have is the WIFI only but would love to use my phone 3G connection.....
thnx

Why can't you do the same thing with the Note? It's called tethering. You enable wifi tethering on your phone first, then connect your Note to your phone. Easy peasy.

So "WIFI Tethering" will use 3G Data Connection of the phone?? Cause as I said, it's in the situation where there's no WIFI.

Yes
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus

Just be aware that tethering to your phone will eat your phones battery power very quickly...

yeah I thought so ....... I have a 12000ma portable charger, that should circumvent that issue

Mate, from your post, it says you have the N8000 model. This is the 3g model. The wifi only are , worldwide, the N8010 and the , America, N8013.
There's also the Turkish N8005 but that has 3G internet.
There's the 4g LTE N8020 too..
If indeed you have an N8000 then you can slap a normal sized sim in it and use it for 3G and phone calls...

No it's my mistake, it's the N8010 that I have

Sv: [Q] Using phone 3G connection on Tablet
Actually, sharing the connection using bluetooth is much more energy efficient and in my opinion better and easier.
Or would it be possible to connect with the phone by USB using an OTG adapter?

How do you share internet access through BT?
I like your USB idea indeed, didn't think of it, yes I do have the adaptor.

Using another Android 4.. phone the procedure is as follows:
Open the settings and share internet (same place as share by wifi), click the share by bluetooth button.
Open the bluetooth settings on your tablet. The easiest way to do this is to hold the bluetooth symbol in the system bar a couple of seconds, the same button that can turn bluetooth on and off.
Pair your devices, the first time you might have to make sure that one are in pairing mode (or visible might be a better name). Click the setting button for your phone in the tablet bluetooth menu. There's a setting called something like "use this devices Internet connection", click that.
Done! There might be some quick fix app that gives you widgets to turn it on and off instantly.
It won't hurt to try, when you connect it to your computer as far as I remember you get the option of sharing the phones Internet connection. Maybe it's just as simple when connecting to the tablet. Else, there might be an app for that as the kids are saying nowdays
