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? ):

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.

Some more information would helpful. What is it you want to do via Bluetooth? Share content between devices (e.g. music, videos, contacts etc)? Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available? Pairing devices on its own doesn't automatically 'connect' them as such, you need to tell them to do something .
Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available.
Unpair them, and then turn on wireless tether. It should ask permission to turn on bluetooth and make discoverable. Then on the transformer, search for devices. It should see the phone. Pair them. Then under paired devices on the transformer, it should show the phone with a little wrench next to it. Click the wrench and there will be the option for bluetooth tethering.
In that case I'm not sure that this is available over Bluetooth. You might however be able to use WiFi tethering, I'm not sure. I'm not quite up to scratch with everything that Cyanogenmod offers. Check under 'Settings' > 'Wireless and network' > 'Tethering' (if available) and see what there is. It might be called WiFi tethering or Mobile AP or something of that ilk. If not then perhaps you could ask over at the Cyanogenmod forums, or wait for someone else here to come up with a better answer .
[EDIT]: @lordgodgeneral: Hmm, interesting. I'll have to check this one out myself and see what I can do with it. I guess there was no need to wait for an answer after all .
Was able to do it through pdanet table beta but still can't do it with wireless thether app.
thanks for the help.

Is it true that TF101 can only connect wirelessly to the inter via bluetooth tethering? that might be a problem because my XPERIA X10 2.3 does not have an option for Bluetooth tethering but for wifi and usb tethering

No, that is not true. You can connect through wifi. I do it every day.
Hi all
Is ad-hoc mode supported in Honeycomb 3.2? For me it's the only way when tether with my old Windows Mobile 6.5...
Thanks!
would be nice if somebody answered this question .... ?
it's come up a couple of times since the update without response.
as a side-note, if anybody has managed to internet-tether through a wm6.5 phone (like my htc hd2) either by wifi or bluetooth * WITHOUT RE-FLASHING THE PHONE TO ANDROID * (not interested in doing that) then how did you make it work?
ironically (and frustratingly), my older WM6 htc tytn II (kaiser) internet-tethers with the asus via bluetooth straight out of the box, so it can be done.
I can confirm that after Update to Honeycomb 3.2 my HTC LEO(WM6.5.x) can
share data (Internet)over Wifi-Router!
Test it few minutes before

From the start this update was kind of disappointed for me... until now: with these great news it's more balanced (the lag's stock browser will kick me the ass for sure, I don't know what is the reason for leaving this bug unresolved )
Thanks a lot for your time leonore
I assume I'm doing something wrong but I'm using non rooted 3.2 and when I tried to see if I could use it with Joiku on my Nokia the Transformer would not see the hotspot, although my laptop had no problem connecting to it. If adhoc is working is there some setting that has to be changed for it to see it?
My Tf does NOT support ad-hoc. Stock 3.2.
I have not heard anything from the release notes anywhere about Android 3.2 now supporting Ad-Hoc networks. But to the OP, I tried everything to get my WM6.5 phone to tether to my GTab 6 months ago and never could get it to work properly because my WMWifiRouter program on my WinMo phone created a Ad-Hoc network. I could connect to any laptop but no Android systems. In the end, I just went and bought a new Android phone and tethering was a breeze. I never looked back...
this is weird. Leonore, how do you share the connection with the phone? what software are you using? the only way I know with a WM is WMrouterwifi. I haven't the last version but I guess it only supports ad-hoc mode...
Bye the way, you can easily share your wm6 internet through Bluetooth with WMWifiRouter. It works great!

really? I read TF was unable to connect via bluetooth due to some sort of limitation in the driver (something like ad-hoc case) . I'll give it a try right now.
Do you have some special configuracion / software on TF? are you rooted?

I never tried tethering through Bluetooth just because of the speed limitation. I guess if you just needed a quick fix but it brings back the old memories of 14.4k dial-up... lol

Bluetooth's 2.0 data rate is around 2 Mbits, quite low but enough for me as a temporal access. I'll use it only on vacations time, in my summer place. It's a very little town and in that place 3g really sucks.

uaah! I tried it and it works like a charm!!! without additional software in the TF, and the battery drains slower than wifi.
I guess this way is easier than wifi, there is no need to configure DHCP, the only thing is the pin code.
This saved the day pal, I was very displeased with the missing support for ad-hoc in 3.2. For me it's a very basic feature.
Thanks a lot Dauntless!
I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether on my Xperia X10 and my TF tethers to it just fine.
I'm also using "Auto-Tether" and I'd highly recommend it; it allows you to enable tethering and to turning tethering on and off from the TF...very handy...you don't even have to take your phone out of the holster!
EDITED TO CORRECT; I just realized that I wasn't REALLY able to connect; I had to use the special WPA_supplicant file here on XDA...so the answer is....nope....not until you root and use that replacement WPA file.

hang on, so you are saying the stock hd2 wifi router app doesn't work but what does work is some unspecified cooked rom of yours?
what have you done to make it work then?
re. bluetooth tethering, this definitely does not work on the hd2 using wmwifirouter (BT option greyed-out) or ny any other means that i can fathom.
as i said BT DOES work with my old wm6 tytn II, both in wmwifirouter and directly via the OS.
can anybody else confirm ad-hoc wifi tethering now working in 3.2?
can anybody else confirm ad-hoc wifi tethering now working (or not) in 3.2?
I just checked and I still cannot see ad-hoc networks from the TF running 3.2. So, it is confirmed that 3.2 still does NOT support ad-hoc networks.
I have got a problem where on sense 3.5 I cannot connect to a wifi network that is hidden. I put the correct details in but it doesn't connect. It will connect to other wifi networks fine.
It is not a problem with any other type of roms just sense 3.5 - I have tried every 3.5 rom for desire s and get the same problem.
Any ideas on this
i used to have that problem. i just change my laptop ip and voila it connect.
I don't see this problem. I using ednymion 3.3
From Russia with love by my HTC Desire S
tried changing the radio yesterday to see if that helped but still get the same problem, it won't connect to a hidden wifi network. It's a hidden wifi one at work and I don't have access to change any settings on there, need to be able to connect to it as I get a poor phone signal and rely on the wifi.
Seems strange that it only happens on all sense 3.5 roms. - the sense 3.0, MIUI and ICS roms can connect to it fine.
If you have change your radio, and if it doesn't work, try this app: Wifi manager app
What is the channel of your wifi network ?
Install Wifi manager.
And on settings, check 2.4 GHZ Channel, and complete (14)
and check 5GHz channels too.
Reboot after.
And try to found your wifi network.
It's an solution.

finally got round to trying this but I am not sure what channel the wi-fi network is on. It is a hidden one that I am not supposed to know is there so I cannot really ask about it, all I know is the SSID and the PW. Phone reception at work is very poor so I rely on the wi-fi.
I checked all the channels like you said but still cannot get this to connect to the wi-fi.
Tried 3 different radio's and flashed a clean install of a sense 3.5 rom and still get this problem.
Don't mind as I can connect to it fine using MIUI , I'm just curious why it doesn't work on 3.5 sense.
Thanks for the advice though
No problem.
That's strange your problem, cos I'm on Sense 3.5 since the beginning, and I haven't got any issues with Wifi network.
But If you have find a solution, it's good for you
Hello everyone. I have been having a wifi issue lately and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I can connect to my home wifi and surf the internet, use Facebook and watch Youtube and use some other apps. Lately however, I am not able to use apps like Pandora, Slacker, 93.9 The Beat, POF, OkCupid and MeetMe. I'm sure there are others as well that I haven't tried yet since this issue has started. I can also connect to xfinity wifi (I'm not sure who's that is) and all of the apps work fine. I am on the stock ROM, S-Off and unlocked running Android 5.0.1 If any one could help, it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Do you use a proxy at home? I know some apps don't work well with proxys...
Change anything recently on your home router?
Did you say everything works FINE on xfiniti wifi?
Xfiniti Wifi is a major cable operators wifi. You'd need to have access to their services to use their wifi.

Hello bigblueshock. I have not made any changes to my phone/router/modem. I have shut them all completely down and restarted them and that did not help. And all of the devices are up to date. Yes everything works fine when I connect to Xfinity wifi. I have ComCast/Xfinity cable and internet. I'm not sure if it's my Xfinity wifi I'm connecting to though. I have signed in on a prior occasion and I was connected, so maybe. But when I try to connect to my wifi (the one that I know is mine) that is when I have my issues. It was working fine up until recently. I am not using any proxy.

If you're connecting to a different WiFi (such as XFINITI) with no problem. I'd say there's a high chance somethings going on your end... whether it be router/modem related.
One way to test is to connect another android device to YOUR network, and see what happens... Possibly even an Apple device. Any friends or family have android devices?
If the router is one comcast provided.. maybe they pushed an update to it which messed up something.

I have an old Samsung Omnia II that is running on Windows 6.5. When I connect to my home wifi, Slacker Radio works fine and so does everything else on the phone. It connects directly to my Netgear wifi it does also show xfinity wifi as available as well. But it doesn't have the app like my much newer HTC One M8 has. My M8 does show my Netgear home wifi and that is the one I'm having issues with. It seems like it's my M8 that is having the troubles.

If you are at your own home you shouldn't be on the xfinity Wi-Fi side. You should be on your private network.
