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.

Hello. I am planing on getting a MyTouch 4G (T-Mobile) and a iPad 3G for GPS use. As of now I am using a MyTouch 3G and I already have a data plan on it, so it will be transfered to the MyTouch 4G when I get it. I do not want to be paying another $25/2GB for the ATnT data plan. I think there is a way around it. Can you guys tell me about it?
My questions are:
1. Is there a software on Android that will allow my phone to act as if it was my Wi-Fi router, so that I can connect my iPad via Wi-Fi to it? If yes, that what is it called?
2. Will I be able to use my phone to make phone calls while the iPad is connect to it via Wi-Fi?
Thanks...

Anyone? I really want to buy it if it is possible...
can a 3g modual be used on the g tab. if so which ones work thanks all for help
How about...?
Hopefully this isn't too off-topic but why don't you just use the 3G connection from your phone (I assume you have an android phone)? That is what a lot of folks with the gTab do now.
I have a rooted Droid X phone that I've installed Wireless Tether on and since I have an unlimited data account with Verizon I turn my phone into a 3G hotspot and connect my gTab to it to surf when I'm out and about. This works great for me since I always have my phone with me.
Anyway, hopefully this info helps as I do not know of a way to add a 3G module to the gTab. Some folks have been discussing using a 3G or 4G usb dongle modem but I don't think they've been able to get that to work yet.
Good luck,
Steve

Absolutely agree!
I was in the quest of finding 3G module for my tab, preferably GSM, not CDMA (Werizon).
Later on I started counting and something dawned on me....LOL
If I install that module on G-Tab.... I have to pay for the access...
Since I already paying for my phone data plan, it would be a double whammy..
I have HD2 running WinMo 6.5 and WMWiFiRouter, which is the great program to tether to G-Tab.
Hope it helps.
I have an unlocked Atrix with Fido in Canada. I can't use the default Mobile Hotspot because it says I need to get it enabled through AT&T. I've tried Barnacle and WiFi tether and although they work as a wifi hotspot, the Xoom cannot see either network. I think both run as Ad-hoc networks and the Xoom does not see Ad-hoc networks.
Anyone able to get their Xoom connected through their Atrix using a WiFi hotspot? If so, can you let me know how you got it working?
I just setup a hotspot on my Atrix just now. I am posting this connected thru that connect right now!

What did you do to get this to work? Did you use the inbuilt Mobile Hotspot to get it going? Do you have tethering enabled through AT&T?
I am using the built in hotspot. No tethering plan, just added the new apn. When I start up the wifi on the Atrix I get a message about needing to call CS. Then it starts working fine.
Ahh, I presume the new APN is only for AT&T customers. What are folks not on AT&T doing to connect up an Atrix and the Xoom?

Hi
I have the same question but for an Atrix and Xoom UK, connected with Virgin Mobile.
I have two good offers, one from a service provider, the other from Virgin.
My heart would go for the Atrix, but my brain says Samsung Galaxy S2. It is all about compatibility between phone and tablet, and their WiFi hotspot.
Which one to choose? They both come free, but are they compatible?
Atrix-Xoom or Samsung G2-Xoom?
And one more, is the Atrix compatible with macs running OXS 10.5?
Decision, decision..
Thanks
T.

I sold my Atrix and picked up a Samsung GS II. The Atrix had amazing hardware, but I felt the software (Motoblur, crappy firmware and a locked bootloader) were too problematic too deal with. I've had my GS II for over four months and am pretty happy with it.
It works really well as a hotspot for the Xoom.
I want to be able to have my Xoom mifi over droid X - is it possible? Thanks!
It works
Using PDANET!
Im so gleeful! Bluetooth tethering a SUCCESS!

Honestly it depends on the Droid X ROM you're using. I use Liberty, and it doesn't have built in wireless hotspot or (last I checked) a functioning bluetooth tether. So I use apps. I've had a lot of success with Wireless Tether (root required)
But PDANet would work like the above poster mentioned.
I tried setting up bluetooth tether with PDAnet (Sprint Hero and Xoom WiFi) but had no success. Paired, but devices won't connect.
Am I doing something wrong?
Just to add my 2 cents on transfer speed, bluetooth has a transfer speed of 800kbps to 2.1Mbps, Wifi has up to 11Mbps to 54+Mbps, if you have anything above 2.1Mbit on your phone your xoom won't be using it because of the bluetooth limitations.
On another note (I might be wrong) I beleive that the total draw power of the bluetooth chipset is almost identical to Wi-fi so there is no "battery saving" using bluetooth.
Moved to Q&A.
if your rooted you can use wireless tether if not try barnacle in the market, i have used it a long time ago and still hear that it is a good workable program just watch out for charges from your carrier.
yes- you can root your phone and use wifi tether. Works just fine.
