Hello,
is there a way to do tethering over WiFi direct?
I wish my Nexus 7 to access internet over my HTC Desire Z (with Andromadus) without having to configure WiFi tethering each time.
Thanks in advance.

Common way is Wifi Hotspot by your Desire to Nexus 7.
I guess that there is some developers working out it for Nexus 7. try search play store.

This is what I want to avoid: setting up the Hotspot each time.
Search play store for what?

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 have a Desire S that I got from T-mobile, I understand the wifi hotspot mode, but instead of using wifi, can you tether the internet to another device using bluetooth? If so how do I do it?
Thanks
anyone please?
Check pdanet from market. I don't know if it works on desire s.
I don't want to get charged up the asshole! I get crappy wifi signal at home and I just rooted/flashed cm10 on my One S.

If you're question is in regards to T-mobile US. Then the answer is yes it is free and you won't be changed.
Seems too good to be true because my internet is so fast. Are you sure?

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.
Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?
where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot

Thanks, found the wifi tether....any way to place a shortcut to that somehow? Still don't see a way to get the voicemails downloaded like the sprint voicemail used to do and then notify me when a new one came in...please help on this one.
Thanks
S
What do you mean voicemail downloaded and to notify you? Whenever I get a vm I receive a notification for it..
And with cm10 I don't think there is a shortcut or widget for the hotspot

Google voice will transcribe your voicemails for you , also you can use foxfi for tethering.

Is it free for sprint galaxy s3 with cm10
I have heard that nexus 5 does not support tethering. Could anyone who has a nexus 5 at hand test it?
Isn't it more of a software than hardware feature. All of my phones have had WiFi tethering thanks to AOKP.

Teathering is a native option, and has been for quite a while... nothings changed in 4.4. Jeeeenx is right it is a software thing, so some carriers choose to disable it. Technically I'm not allowed to do it on my contract, but the carrier has no way of knowing if you do or not.

Yup its software. Every phone has had WiFi tethering, it was even built into the stock ROM.

Yes you can. You can set-up USB tethering, Bluetooth tethering, and also setup portable wi-fi hotspot
I hope so. However, i got this info from reliable source so i just want to see whether anyone has tried that or not. I am guessing google intentionally disabled it or it is not ready for kitkat?
There's usually an app for that.

The google n5/kit kat demo video from the UK (Androidizen? or similar ) , showed the same tethering/hotspot feature we have on our google Gnex and n4.

Got my Nexus 5 today from CFW. I can confirm tethering works fine.

5Ghz Wifi Tethering?
Question, has anyone tried Wifi tethering on the 5GHz band? In 4.3 and lower tethering only worked on 2.4Ghz no matter what I set the phone to use... just wondering if this changed at all in KitKat?
i just rooted my phone running lollipop stock with nexus root toolkit. the phone rooted great, it was simple. but im having issues with the tethering. im on tmobile running android 5.0 build LRX210. i got the WIFI TETHER ROUTER app from the playstore and it was working. but now it seems to shut my phone off when i wanna use it. is there any other app i could use, and if i could use the native tethering function how do i get it to work. please help. and thank you so much
also forgot to mention, when the phone reboots its in airplane mode.

I am using inbuilt tethering app to create wifi access point from my phone. Try that it should work. Not sure why you need 3rd party app for wifi tethering.

You just setup the hotspot, it is pretty straight forward. Just give it a try.
I am on T Mobile USA so wifi tethering is part of my plan. You will have to keep it on or can try some hacks on the net. I haven't tried them though.

i got it working with the stock app doing the DUN fix. its working nicely now. i think i i will just down grade my plan to the lowest tethering.
