[Q] G tablet tethering

Hoping someone can help with tethering a cell phone with the g tablet. I specifically have a blackberry storm 2 from Verizon with all the necessary rights to tether. The problem is the the OS I am using (Vegan) makes the tablet believe it is a phone rather then a computer so it obviously causes issues with connecting to a phone by Bluetooth. Any assistance would be great.

If you get an answer, let me know...
I set up a buddy with a BB with a mobile HOT SPOT for now.

Storm 2 tether
Anyone ever figure out if tether between storm2 and gtab? Running vegan b 5.1

I have an android phone and it tethers fine. Do you see the black berry show up in your network??

I think there is an app called tether for the blackberry that lets you do bluetooth tether.
barackisbrown... Wifi tether or usb tether?

I use wifi tether..Not sure if the gtablet can do usb tethering??

It's been asked in several different threads, there is no solution currently to tether blackberry with the gtab. There is no bluetooth dun client available to do this yet unfortunately.

I just got my G tab about a week ago and and wondering the same thing. I have a iPhone that I have jailbroken so bluetooth would be the most convenient way to tether but if anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Besides the difference between Bluetooh and wife, what is the difference between those two types of tethering???

I don't know what the speed differences would be between the two methods but I've been using Wireless Tether on my rooted Droid X for almost two months. It turns my phone into a 3G wifi hotspot that allows up to 5 devices to connect to. Since I have an unlimited data plan with Verizon this seemed like a no-brainer to me rather than paying them an additional $30/month for a lousy 2GB to use the Verizon hotspot app the phone came with.
This has worked with no headaches and since I always have my phone with me it is convenient.

So I installed the Nero ROM on my Vibrant and it states that I can tether, but anyone know of a way to tether it to my G-Tab? I found apps like PDA-Net, which will install just fine on my phone, but will it have issues if installed on my tablet? Pre-Thanks for the help. You guys rock ! ! !

I'm running tnt lite 4.2.1 and I'm tethering it to the gtab. The Tnt lite rom recognizes ad hoc tethering which is required using Wireless Tether on my Droid X to the gtab. I don't run VEGAn so I can't help you there.

Wifi tether, infrastructure mode?

So I currently own a Thunderbolt on Verizon as well as a wifi only galaxy tab and a wifi only xoom.
I also have a G2X on a 2 week trial. I was going to transfer me and my gf's phones over from Verizon.
I have my G2X rooted already and I have wireless tether installed. It works but my Xoom and my Galaxy tab won't recognize it. I'm assuming this is because it's running in ad-hoc mode and not infrastructure.
If this something that can be changed with kernal upgrade or custom roms or will this phone forever broadcast ad-hoc? This is pretty important to me as it's one of my primary purposes for switching to tmobile. (4g in my area vs none for verizon as well as battery life.)

all the 3 version is infrastructure mode the 2 version is in ad hoc. try it out should work not sure yet tho. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I feel like a tard now actually. I'm so used to having verizon I didn't realize that T-Mobile didn't take out the stock android mobile hotspot app.
Does anyone know if t-mobile makes you sign up for a tethering plan to use it? I was able to fire it up and connect both my Xoom and my galaxy tab just fine.. just don't want a suprise in my bill.

Just use it.
If you got error page, you simply add tethering option or just change browser agent (but I don't think you'll get in trouble if you tether with Android tablets).

As long as you have an unlimited data package youll be fine...they have a 2gig & 5gig. Once you go over those limits it will still work, just not as fast as before you went over the data cap. No issues with mine tho, my hotspot works fine with various devices

It's not an app, it's in the wireless network settings. Same place as wifi-bluetooth and all that. Just a check box to turn it on.
Funny story about the wireless tether for root users app.
So when I posted this that it will only work in ad-hoc mode, I found a workaround for my xoom to connect before I realized there was built in hotspot. The built in hotspot works great and it's infrastructure mode, but like my thunderbolt and droid x before it, won't stay connected in my office for some reason.
I tried the wireless tether program and low and behold it stays connected firmly in my office. Must be something about it being ad-hoc because all the infrastructure mode tethering methods I've tried will not stay connected in my office.. must be some intereference or something.

[Q] Is it possible to tether to my blackberry phone for 3g web access?

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.

[Q] tethering question

ok, please excuse the newbness of my question. i am going to be switching over from an iphone to a skyrocket. i am concerned i will not be able to "tether" my ipad or dell streak 7 to the skyrocket. i did a search because i was told i needed an "adhoc" network to be able to use my ipad and streak. when i searched i found nothing regarding this. can some one explain how/can this be done? again sorry about the question, i'm just trying to make sure i can do this before i switch.

You can root and tether no problem or you can Pay att for tethering. Either way you shouldn't have a problem. Do you plan on rooting?

yes i do plan on rooting. i posted the question because i heard using an ipad, i'd need an adhoc not just tethering?? when i rooted my streak i could not connect to my iphone till i changed some file. forgot already

It works great for me. I rarely ever tether but i have connected my transformer a few times when on the go.

Ad hoc is not necessary for tethering as the phone acts as an infrastructure hot spot, same as any Linksys or netgear etc. router. It works perfectly as is with a tablet or any wifi equipped device.

You won't need anything for your ipad. I use tethering pretty frequently. When you root, download RomManager and remove the ATT tether block and your good to go. Parents Ipad 2 and Galaxy Tab have no problem connecting to my Skyrocket.

thanks guys. i should be getting the skyrocket early next week. unless i decide to wait for the "note", choices choices

[Q] Very slow kbps on a rooted Tmobile Galaxy s3

I'm hoping someone might provide some insight into this situation: I have a Galaxy s3 with Tmobile 5gigabyte data plan. I rooted it, installed Jellybean and am running a wifi tether app to "try" to circumvent the $14.99 wifi tethering surcharge they now want to charge. I tether my ipad to my phone, or at least that was the plan. Right after making all the OS changes, the tether worked great. Within 2-3 weeks, however, the speed on the wifi tether app is showing a download speed of 0.2kbps -- just enough for my iPad to see the tether, but not enough to do any browsing with the iPad.
I talked with a tmobile tier 2 tech and he said that their network can see when another device is using my phone (and their network) to access the internet... I thought that a rooted phone broke me free from the tmobile shackles, but is it possible that they can still see -- by IP address, etc. -- that my dataplan is using unauthorized access? I'm not clear on what exactly I'm asking here, but the point is is I cannot seem to keep an adequate speed on a rooted phone to tether my iPad to it and it is frustrating! I haven't seen one post on this issue, but I cannot be the only one out there experiencing this. Thanks in advance for any advice/help...

Yes, they can tell.
There's something about user agents, but I don't know if you can make that pass from an iOS device.
