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!
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.

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!

i have a question relating to this... i have an original droid and is it true that CM 7 has he ability to add a non ad-hoc wifi?
It worked no problem on my Samsung T959 running Trigger 3.2
How did you get it to run with your evo 3d? I've been trying without any success.

Are we saying that touchpad can connect to SOME ad-hoc networks, depending on what security is used?

i don't think gingerbread runs it in ad-hoc mode.
i think it sets it up as an access point.

I've allready tried with my Defy under CM7 without success at this time. Barnacle does Ad-hoc Wifi, and webos cannot connect to Ad-hoc Wifi.
I tried with "WiFi tether" for root witch allow infrastructure mode but unsuccessful for now.
We need to find the good app and the good settings...
I have the ridiculous situation where I have my trusty 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab (on 2.2) running its Wireless Access Point software and a Wireless 'ouchpad - has anyone tried this combo?
My TP connects fine to my Galaxy S2, security set as WPA2
Hi all, I have an unrelated question to ask. I just got my tp this mornign from hp, for whatever reasont that might be, I couldn't connect to the hp catalog(hp app store). Does anyone else have this problem as well?
I am using a rooted DroidX and Barnacle WiFi will not work with the Touchpad. I installed "Open Garden WiFi Tether" and it successfully tethers.

it connects fine to my router at home using WPA2 also, just not my desire s for some reason.
My Touchpad initially would not see the hotspot from my Evo 4g running CM7, but after upgrading the Touchpad to the new firmware it is all set. I'm using WPA security.

Hey, guys?
Any progress in connecting our touchpads to Motorola Defy phones?
My TP connects fine. Tmo G2 running CM7 nightlies. I use the built in wifi hotspot and WPA2 encryption. No problems.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I had the same problem trying to connect using WiFi Tether on my Epic 4G, which i downloaded from the Android Market. That version only uses WEP and the TP just couldnt see the connection. I downloaded an updated version of WiFi Tether from the developers site, which supported WPA2 and the TP saw it and connected with no problem.
Finally my first post...lol
Basically i have recently invested in a new netbook with wireless and i always use my Defy to tether to it and my other pc aswell. I use the 3G hotspot app to tether it this came with the phone and didn't require root so i use it as dont wish to root my phone. I have now installed linux on my netbook a i prefer it but now my wi-fi tether wont work anymore i know the pc is working fine as it will connect to other wireless networks. Is there anyway i can make it tether again?
Thanks
Can anyone please help?

I just rooted my HTC Sensation 4g on Virtuous Inquisition and I am trying to find a wifi tether app that works, any suggestions?
Thanks
I used to use Wireless Tether I think V.2.0.7 or somewhere around there, try searching for an APK for that.
Hope this helps
Cheers
I use and would highly recommend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
My laptop shows limited connection - This is weird, I rooted my sensation so I could use my phone as a wifi hotspot with my laptop, but none of the rooted apps work.
