Trying to tether my 3g from my Blackberry to my Galaxy Tab for GPS and Navigation in the car. The only way I'm seeing to do this is with Bluetooth but Tab keeps telling me its a video game controller and gives me no data. Is there a way to get this working(maybe a regular wifi tether for blackberry). Not really sure where else to ask and not finding much useful info in my searches.
Thanks

Just got mine today. WiFi tether with my Galaxy Note works fine, so I would try that if you can with your Blackberry.

Anyone have any ideas on if tethering a blackberry would work? I have a Verizon BB Bold 9870 with full data and tethering and would love to tether in (would it require a custom rom?)
Ideas?
Thanks
AFAIK, Blackberry tethering is done via bluetooth DUN only, not wifi.
So far, no one other than Archos seems to have written bluetooth DUN client software for Android.
My phone has unlimited bluetooth DUN, so I'm buying an Archos.
My wife's phone has unlimited hotspot, so she's happy with the G tab.
Moved to general
Thank you for moving and call me crazy but the app PDANET enables bluetooth DUN.
You're crazy At least I couldn't get pdaNET to play nicely with my BB. I actually got them to connect but I couldn't get the GTab to use the BB as a modem. I think the issue is that the pdaNET software is used to enable the android based phone as a modem as well as enable the BB as a modem but what is missing is software for the tablet or settings to tell it to use the signal as a network connection (to do dial up networking as it were).
If you have a step by step tutorial that explains how the pdaNET works on the GTab and connects to the BB's network then please post it. I am sure there are many folks who would like to know exactly how to get this to work.
Otherwise you are crazy (said with affection 'cause I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to do this).
Hi!
I'm having an issue with the wireless hotspot function between the SII and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
I've set up the hotspot as the phone suggested, but when I connect the Tab, it can connect to the network, but can't seem to access the internet at all. The wireless connection bar is white, but not blue like it is when I've connected to my router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this a pay only hotspot app on the SII as for example Verizons hotspot app which requires a seperate data plan? I was able to get Android Wifi Tether to work on mine. Something to do with tablets not being able to connect to adhoc wifi connections? My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible, open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was finally able to get my GTab to recognize the phone.
Sorry for the late reply!
I've asked my provider, and they said that I shouldn't have any issues using the stock app in Android. I had a look on the internet (Called Samsung and they were no help) about your suggestion on ad-hoc networks, and it seems to be bang on the money. I'm not too keen on rooting my phone at the moment, but will definitely consider it in the near future when ICS comes out.
Thanks for your help!

Which SII variant?
I'm trying to connect my Note to an Ad-Hoc connection. I'm sure there is something obvious I am missing for why I can't see the Ad-Hoc connection from my note 10.1 but can't figure it out and didn't see anything here.
I posted my solution in another thread here with same topic. Refer to it. But the FoxFi app is the solution to this. Google the apk because it was removed from marketplace. Install it on phone. Then install foxfi add on, on phone, that's in marketplace. Then you should be good to go. Tablet will now pick up your tethering signal. Root is not needed either(for phone or tablet). App works great on pure stock. Works fine on my pure stock SG3.

I'm not really looking for a tether solution. I can tether to my phone just fine. I specifically want to know if there is a way to get the Note 10.1 to connect to and ad-hoc network for another reason. I do presentations and sometimes. Often I can do them right from the note using the All-Share Cast Dongle, but sometimes (due to issues w/ Dongle working with certain adaptors) I have to have my laptop connected to the projector and want to control it with remote desktop with my tablet. I want to do this without relying on my host having wifi I can use. So I need ad-hoc connectivity to connect to my laptop directly without having to lug around a wireless router.
On another note, out of curiosity I tried FoxFi and it doesn't work on my phone anyway. The built-in (stock) tether app works great and is all I need.
Lopk for a wifi direct type program for your laptop or try bluetooth dun. Type connection. Pdanet could ne a solution just not sure. Some type of device to device metwork is needed .if your laptop has iis there could be a solution in it.

Hi!
I want to ask you: Have you solved this?
I also need to connect to an ad-hoc.
I've read: on some other android devices they root and replace their wpa_suplicant. Does anybody know if it is also possible on Note 10.1 ?
Sry for my english...
Thx
Never did get it to work. I'm on stock without root and just being lazy. Accomplished my task with a $20 wifi router.

Hey Folks,
I've been using my Note GT-N7000 to tether with my Note 10.1 over bluetooth, which works just great if I explicitly connect the two. However, if say for example, the Note 10.1 is in my office, and the Note GT-N7000 is in my pocket, and I leave the office, the two won't automatically reconnect to each other when I return. I have to manually connect them again.
Is there any way to have the two automatically reconnect to each other when they are in proximity?
Thanks,
Drkmtr
Hey drkmtr, sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'd love to be able to get the bluetooth tethering to work. I'm also using a GT-N7000 and a Note 10.1 but I have had no luck. Are you using a 3rd party app to share the internet?
In my case everything connects, on my Note 10.1 the box "Use for internet access" is checked in bluetooth settings. But it just doesn't work for me.
Thanks for your reply mate,
The BT tethering works out of the box for me, no third party apps required, although I am running a custom ICS ROM on the N7000. How have you got your N7000 setup? I assume you have BT tethering enabled in your N7000 settings?
You could try a third party app "BT Auto Tethering" on the N7000 and it's sister app "BT Auto Connect" on the 10.1... both available from the market gratis.

I'm running Paranoid JB nightlies on my phone and stock on the tablet. Thanks for the market apps I, will give those a try.
Maybe I should go back ti ics on my phone.
I do this exact same thing as well and I haven't figured out a way to get them to auto connect either

Did anyone find a way to get auto-reconnect functionality with BT tethering?
I tether my Note to my Evo 3D using the stock BT tethering while at work. It works great except for my phone's crappy connection in my building (I blame Rogers).
Also, is anyone else experiencing drops in the tether connection when the Note sits idle for a while. If I initiate the tether, then let the tablet sit for a while unused, often when I pick it up to use it the tether connection is dead. The statusbar still states there's a tethered internet connection (as it does on my Evo 3D), but none of my apps will be able to connect to the web. The only way to re-establish the link is to turn BT off on the Note, and then turn it back on and re-initiate the tether.
Ooo... my 1,000th post.
Hello everyone,
Im thinking to Note 10.1 wifi and my question is: would a 3rd party navigation app like Navigon work or that would only work with the 3G models.
Thanks in advance

If you have a WiFi version of SGN 10.1, you can just buy a portable 3G/LTE WiFi router to stay connected or you can just use your phone as a hotspot (if your phone has the capability)
As a GPS Nav or SATNAV apps that require internet, as long as you have an internet connection it'll work.
For example:
if you are at home & planning your routes
if you are connected to a hotspot in a cafe & planningnyour routes
Using Phone or Portable 3G/LTE router as a hotspot to Navigate while you are driving
I use navigon and co pilot, both work great. No need for a connection. Sygic is cool but cumbersome.
