Tether Xoom to Blackberry?

Simply want to know if I can tether my Blackberry 9700 with an unlimited data plan to the Motorola Xoom I just pre-ordered.
Anyone here with a Blackberry been able to do this so far?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be great! Thanks in advance!

Well the Blackberry can tether over bluetooth, right? There's a huge thread on how to tether over Bluetooth.

I did see that thread and go through all 8 pages. There was one mention of a BB but there was no confirmation of it working on the Xoom.
Any information about this is welcome. If it connects over BT that's awesome!

The Xoom definitely has been confirmed to tether over Bluetooth from Android and iPhones, but I'm not 100% on BB. Don't know why it wouldn't though.

I'm interested in this as well. But unfortunately I can never get my xoom to connect to my BB torch, although it pairs fine.

From what I read, once it pairs you should see a "Wrench" symbol in the Xoom next to where you see the BB. What happens when you hit that?

The real problem with trying to BT tether the xoom with a bb (I tried with my bold 9700) is that the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile is not recognized/supported between the xoom and the bb. This specific kinf of bluetooth profile/protocpl is what allows you to use the phone as a modem by dialing the "data" number (ex *99***1# on GSM phones)...until someone creates a bt dun application for the android, I don't think it will be possible to bt tether the xoom to the bb.

Don't know if this will work for the Xoom, but this is apparently the Blackberry to Ipad tethering process (let me know if this works, btw):
I’m not a Blackberry user at all, but I thought this was interesting as RIM still sells a heck of a lot of phones I’m sure there are a lot of iPad users who own Blackberry’s. A user of just such a combo on the Crackberry Forums came up with a method to tether a Jailbroken iPad to his Blackberry. It doesn’t give you quite 3G speeds, but some internet is better than none!
NOTES
This will not give you 3G speeds. Bluetooth DUN using PDAnet gives about 50kB/s. Faster than edge, but half as fast as 3G. Thats fine by me, as I won’t have to pay for additional data plan to verizon.
If you are being redirected to verizon website, ensure that ‘dial up networking’ is disabled in your blackberry bluetooth options.
These instructions are for Verizon, for directions on other mobile carriers, please go here for reference.
Requirements
Jailbroken iPad
Blackberry phone (tested with blackberry storm 9530)
ibluever: Install from Cydia (you can try the demo for free. if demo works, ensure to uninstall before installing paid release)
PDAnet: PdaNet — Use your BlackBerry as a USB Modem (click ‘install pdanet 1.30′ only)
1. Run ibluever from your iPad
2. Click ‘ON’ You should be able to see your phone
3. Click on blue arrow of your device to edit the following fields
pin code: 0000 (or any combination of numbers)
dial number: #777 (for verizon wireless)
chat script: default non GPRS (refer to link at bottom for reference as to what options to choose)
Authentication: On
Sniff Mode: Off
Waiting SDP: On
4. Go to your blackberry bluetooth options menu and DISABLE ‘dial up networking’ and click save

You may need this installed on the XOOM:
Cobalt Blue - "This is tethering application using BT-DUN, root is not required. Android2.1 more is required because it uses Bluetooth."

I will try both methods once the Xoom arrives. Doing some more research I came across this app, http://tether.com/blackberry/download
Does anyone have experience with this app in particular?

PDAnet is essentially a client that would need to be run on both devices to create a BT DUN profile. Currently, PDAnet for android is designed as the "server" end of the client to pipe its own 3G internet to a laptop. As far as I know, there is no PDAnet "client" for android devices. It basically looks like CobaltBlue does the same thing as PDAnet.

I have NO IDEA if the following post that I found on amazon is in ANY WAY related to the tethering problem but here you go:
This keyboard was tested with Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom. It works with both. It works with any device that uses HID bluetooth profile. It will not work with devices that use SPP bluetooth profile. Blackberry and many android phones use SPP profile. So, you need to check with the manufacturer before buying the keyboard.

It is related to a BT keyboard (obviously) but since it states different BT connection profiles maybe someone else can use this information and see whether it might help with the tethering problem.

Okay so I got a chance to experiment today. You're super right. Anyone know of a "client" for Android to use with PDAnet on BB.
Any other methods of accomplishing tether is welcome!

You can bluetooth tether it. Just sync the devices, go to the xoom and click the lil wrench after they are conneted and select tethering.
Edit (Forget this post, this is how i tether my MT4G to Xoom. Dont know if this will work with BB)

Does anyone know how to get CobaltBlue. I live in the US and when I try to downland it for my Xoom, it says not available for my carrier.

No go on my BB 9630. After pairing, on the BB under the bluetooth device properties for the xoom, the only available services are Voice Gateway, OBEX Object Push, and AVRCP TG.
I'm a Tether for BB owner as well. I noticed people expressing interest in the forums at tether.com, but as of yet, no client-side piece for android. Maybe if more of us go there and express interest he'll make it higher on his priority list.

I know somewhere in the world it probably caused a YouTube kitten to die, but I successfully tethered my laptop to my blackberry, then used connectify.me to fake an ad-hoc on my laptop and connected to it with my MZ604.
I feel like I need a shower.

But will the xoom connect to an ad-hoc wireless signal without the wireless patch/hack? My suspicion is no....

No, but that's an android limitation, not a Xoom limitation. Iirc it was android bug id 84 or 86 or something. But connectify.me is free and dead simple to use.

I have tried using PDANet on BB9700 on AT&T and without any modifications on BB (as mentioned in this thread - disabling Dial Up networking) does not work. Clicking on the wrench on the Xoom does not bring up the Tether option.
The CobaltBlue app mentioned above does not install from the market. Will try to side load that. Will also try by disabling the Dial up networking option in BB and post results.

Nexus 5 won't work with my WiFi network

Nexus won't connect to my WiFi network , I was using my nexus 5 without issues but today we upgraded the internet speed , and to be able to do it ,we had to get a new modem (besides the new data plan ) , the thing is now I can't get internet on my phone while connected to the WiFi , it connects but I can't do do anything , when I open the browser I get this message :

That was also an issue ,if I connect the modem to the router where it should go ( and were it was before we upgraded the modem) , the hole says "internet " then I don't get internet , only when I put it in a "normal LAN hole"is that I get internet :/

Check Modem or Router settings for MAC filtering.

It's got to go in the int port or you won't have a dhcp server and only 1 device well be able to connect.
Wire it up correctly then turn both the modem and router off for a minute, then turn back on the modem and wait a couple of minutes or until the lights confirm it's connected, then turn on your router and wait a minute, then try connecting to it.

OK I put the modem cable in the "internet port " on the router , now I get no internet at all :/
Another question , should I put my second cable ( the one that goes to my roomate's laptop ) on the router or on the modem ?

if your modem has LAN ports then it's likely an all in one router/modem.. for basic setup just use that one
it gets complicated after that as how to set two up as you only want one to be serving ideally, and the 2nd as a wireless access point or client repeater..
sorry if I have your situation wrong

Disable MAC filtering if you have it enabled or add your Nexus 5 and other wireless devices MAC address to allowed section.

What?
Ok first shut down the modem and the router. Plug in the cable from the modem into the "internet" port on the router. Turn on everything and you should be all good.
Your roomtates laptop should be plugged into one of the LAN (the other 4 ports) on the router.

Go to your Nexus 5 Settings, look under WiFi for your router - are the settings correct & matched to those of your (new) router? What are they? Do you have another smartphone or tablet or wireless PC - connecting & working with this new router?
You might want to power down your router/modem, wait 5 or 10 minutes - then reboot it & wait for it to resync (DHCP or static IP) with all the network devices, including the N5? Make sure you have the SSID and security key or password saved or copied down first in case you have to restore them, including DNS settings.
Seeing that your location is Berlin - check to make sure your WiFi band(s) are set correctly on this new router.
Can you disable temporary your wireless security & connect openly with the N5?
Most modem/router can be reset to its factory default settings - read your manual & do it as a kind of last resort ... copy & save your current settings. Do these troubleshooting steps-by-steps & don't overlook the obvious - google/download/install/run "inSSIDer 3" by MetaGeek on a laptop or desktop with wireless access, it's a very user-friendly & useful diagnostic tool to analyze and troubleshoot network signals, etc.

Hey , no need to be sorry , you guys are bringing me in the right direction ... Sooo I checked my old modem and yeah it has a USB port, 2 telephone ports and a port named "Ethernet" whereas my new modem has just 2 telephone ports and 5 "LAN ports " , our internet company just gives a modem and if we want to have WiFi then we need to pay 2 euros more , my roommate had always used a modem +router combo but it looks like that won't work with this modem anymore , maybe the company got this new modem to make the set up process easier for people and of course to prevent people like us from getting WiFi with our own methods :/

So you, like you said, I have to use the new modem I got , I can't plug in a router, now checking my Provider's website I realise that there's two different devices, the one I have Hitron cve-30360 ( I assume is a model specifically built for my provider - Kabel Deutschland- is a "Cable-router and WLAN-Router" and there's another (more expensive) device homebox fritz box 6360, which is a "Modem, WLAN-Router, Server and Telephone System" so what's basically the difference between this two devices? To be honest I thought the device I had was a modem and it turns out it's a "Cable-router"

I had a read up, unfortunately most info is in German for me, but the info on the main site is indeed confusing
it does appear to be an all in one cable modem wifi router, check the features page, euro docsys3.0 compliant.. also the picture of the back shows a cable connector, so it has to be.
You should be able to connect everything to that wirelessly and wired.. you should of been supplied an ssid and password
edit, unless your cable company turned off the wireless and locked you out of the settings on the new device.. in that case connect the second router via the LAN and turn off the dhcp server in its settings.. edit...or set wireless access point, if it has it

[Q] Wifi Disconnects when bluetooth device is connected

I have had my note pro wifi model connected to both a 2.4g & 5g dual band wifi router and while using the tablet I have a strong consistent connection. I recently bought the samsung mouse & keyboard. I have noticed that anytime I connect either device to my tablet via bluetooth, within about 30 seconds my wifi connection drops everytime. I have had my phone, along with my note 8 connected to the same wifi to confirm that my router is working fine. I am using a stock (non-rooted) note pro, updated to the most recent 4.4.2 that samsung has made available. As soon I turn off my bluetooth connected devices, my wifi signal doesn't drop connection and works perfect. Has anyone else had any issues and know of anything that could be done to fix the problem I am having? Thanks

I've noticed my WiFi dropping and then reconnecting (at least getting those pop-ups at the bottom of the screen alerting you to the WiFi cycling) for some time and I've always used the Logitech Pro bluetooth keyboard.
I hadn't considered that it might be related to this as it's always been in the mix. I'll try it without it for a bit to see if WiFi just stays on.

I just received the Samsung Keyboard yesterday, and immediately noticed my wifi dropping off. Weird, and a total bummer. Up until this issue, I have been completely in love with this device, not finding any shortcomings from what I expected. Hopefully an update fixes this.

I'd be curious to know the specifics of the devices and networks to see if there's a correlation. Things like exact model of the note pro, kernel version and build number in addition to make and model of wifi router/ap and type of encryption used. It's more likely an issue on the tablet side than the type of network but still possibly helpful. The thing is, with no development activity for these tablets here its doubtful anyone can fix the issue. Perhaps by drawing some correlations though better info could be given to Samsung.
I don't frequently use a BT keyboard but on my SM-P900 (kernel version 3.4.39-1182544, build KOT49H.P900UEU1ANC5) I'm getting stable wifi on both 2.4Ghz band and 5Ghz band while using my Logitech BT Keyboard. Network is an ASUS R6300 router using WPA2 encryption.

I have the Att Note Pro 12.2" SM907-A with Samsungs S Mouse ET-MP900D and Logitech Pro Keyboard. Since I have an AT&T version it allows me to turn off WIFI and use LTE to eliminate issues. I went to an AT&T store and should the onsite staff the issue. They were amazed and did tell me I wasnt crazy. My WIFI issues happen every where. I travel for work so its alot of hotels, AT&T wifi spots and also a work location. No Matter the WIFI with Bluetooth it cuts in an out.
My next step was to reset the Note Pro and add the bluetoth items back in.

I can happily say my P905 does not have this issue.
I'm using the Logitech K810. Spend last night typing about 80 pages worth of text on it whilst playing the Emmy awards livestream over WiFi, it didn't drop once.
Tested it again just now, 5 minutes, 4 pages and TuneIn, no drop. Speedtest does this:

It does appear to be capped at 65Mbps, instead of the 120Mbps my laptop gets. But I've always seen Android devices do that.

Mine only seems to drop wifi when I take the tablet off the bluetooth keyboard, walk to another room and use the tablet without the keyboard. If I leave the tablet sitting on the Samsung keyboard and use the bluetooth S-Mouse as well, my wifi seems fine. I used the tablet with the keyboard and mouse last night for about an hour, no issues with wifi. This morning I took the tablet off the keyboard to read the news while drinking my coffee at the kitchen counter, wifi was dropping in and out non-stop. Turned bluetooth off, the issue goes away. Weird and frustrating.

any fix yet for this crap? I use a Logitech 810, and a Logitech

I need to use wifi with bluetooth as i only have a 2 gig plan. why would a top of the line tablet have a lame issue like this? I constantley bork up important password entries that lock me out after 3 attempts. Not a professional level tablet with this problem by all means. I notice the bluetooth keyboard and mouse disconnecting constantley, as well as the wifi. Very pissed as I just spent about a grand on this crap setup. Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2... lol need to bust out my windows 8.1 tablet so everything works i guess.

This is beginning to annoy me quite a bit now as well. There needs to be an update for this but it appears no such hardware update is forthcoming. Our only hope may be Lollipop.

Will we be getting a lollipop on this eventually?

Did a little Googling (No, I really just filled in "android wifi bluetooth disconnects") and this was the first hit:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41631
Apparently this is an Android issue that has been around since 4.2 on the Nexus 4. It also seems to happen on CM and other customROMS. Since it wasn't fixed in 4.3 nor 4.4, I have little hope 5 will fix the problem.
I still don't have the issue though, I'm currently typing this on my K810 whilst playing music through TuneIn over my JBL Charge 2... No disconnects, no drops.

I suspect there will be SOME means of getting it even if it's unofficial. I sure as heck will be looking to that path. As is, I love and hate the tablet now over this. I cannot believe Samsung has no answer for it.
---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------
I just spent an hour on the phone with Samsung going over this and got connected to their Advanced Support team who, after trying to resolve it, will now be looking into this more deeply. They say they'll call me back. Their initial thought is that it's the router. It isn't because I've had the problem on every router I've ever connected with and with every bluetooth device.
However, since we now have someone looking at this it might help to a) call them as well to add to the weight and b) list here the routers and devices we've tried.
I my case:
Samsung BT keyboard
Logitech BT keyboard (both for this device)
Plantronics BT headset
Sixaxis controller.
Router:
Asus Blackbird RT-AC66U.

What's the number you called to report? I will give the a call to because this is ridiculous.. The tablet seems to be faster off WiFi to..all around snappier.

I don't have one, sadly. I use my Logitech M705 with nano receiver over USB OTG.
I already have both a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth speaker connected, so in theory if multiple bluetooth devices caused this, I should already be experiencing the issue.
As it said in the Google Support thread as well, there is no clear indication as to why some devices are affected and others are not.

Well..mine works fine like that to..I believe its a tablet issue. Bluetooth Mouse keyboard combination..

I use the 810 keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse. It drops Wi-Fi whenever I have both connected.

I guess to be clear, when using WiFi, a bluetooth mouse, and a bluetooth keyboard, I get WiFi drops, and bluetooth disconnects, not just wifi. Very frustrating. When I turn off WiFi, bluetooth mouse and keyboard work rock solid. The way I can tell, is the mouse will lag, and the keyboard will ghost type, making for a dangerous situation on password protected sites that have limits on sign in attempts. Almost got locked out of my State mainframe site.. not cool.

It doesn't drop when I just have just the keyboard connected. I'll test some with just the mouse.

Tethering device over wifi possible?

So basically I'm looking to use an old feature that I once had on my Blackberry 9790 which was to be able to tether my data connection of my phone to my computer via a wi-fi router. I can seem to find any app capable of doing this on android. I have an S5 and it has no innate feature capable of doing this.
Basically what I'm trying to do is connect to my phone using wifi (from pc to phone) and have my phone in a remote area where the signal is high since most of the area in my house has horribly low signal coverage I intend on putting my phone in an area where the signal is higher and connecting to my phone via my wireless router which is what i did with my 9790 blackberry a couple of years ago.
To be clear, I'm not trying to connect to use my phone as a hotspot in the conventional sense because that would mean I'd need a wireless adapter capable of incoming and outgoing connections of that type which is obviously not what a wireless router is capable of

you mean making your phone as a wifi hotspot?

What you described is exactly Wifi Tethering (or the so called Hotspot).

Umm, pretty much all wireless adapters can recive Wifi signal (802.11) of your phone. You maybe confused it with Bluetooth.
Anyways this app, FoxFi, can do everything you want with or without root. You can transfer internet to your PC with wifi, bluetooth or even USB!

Okay let me explain this in practical use. I can't make my phone hotspot and connect to the hotspot via my router. Majority of routers cannot take on internet connection via wifi but can push general connections including internet. That being said, I would need a wifi adapter (dongle) to connect to my phone's hotspot (which I dont have). Which leads me to the question I asked which is how does one tether one's device via WiFi? There's a very subtle difference between tethering via hotspot and tethering as mentioned above. Just like my blackberry, it could only connect in this manner with the blackberry desktop app and could not do this through any other program. Basically what I'm asking if there's any app combination that will make this possible? (NO HOTSPOTS)

ill try to review this once i get home.. im still confused on what you are trying to mean..

From this I can tell that you are trying to connect your ROUTER TO your PHONE? That is not possible and I don't see why would you do that.

I think you mean how to bridge a wifi connection? Bridging is basicly you connect your phone to a internet-enabled device and the phone than shares the internet even further.
If this is not the case, please draw what you mean. Like this:

Xtrons Android 8 head unit and Huawei E3372

Installed what I think is a PX5 with Android today with a DAB radio, Dashcam and LTE dongle attached to the three USB cables.
The unit is displaying signal strength for the dongle, but no data carrier icon and I can't seem to get it to connect to a network - it just searches forever.
Anyone come across this?

No signal on LTE or dab?

LTE. I'm getting a signal strength meter but no 4G/3G etc icon and when I try to force it to connect to a network it refuses. The dongle works fine in a PC.

How would you find out to then provide information needed for others to help you?
Also, is the dongle a supported dongle for the unit you have?

Good question. It's an Xtrons badged unit with no clue as to a model number, but it identified itself as a PX5 at one point.

And there's very little information at all with the unit. Certainly not a list of supported dongles.

Hmmmm. That's tough, anyone else got any suggestions.
MTC(B/C/D/E) Headunits - a must read

Confirmed it is a PX5 - through Google Play Store, of all things. That also confirms that the dongle and the SIM are being read found correctly - it's listed as Three Rockchip PX5 - so I think it's an APN issue. But I can't find any way to create a 4G APN - every settings app I've found only offers 2G or 3G.
It's a moot point for now as the GPS antenna connector fell off, so it's going to have to go back.

Did you figure it out?
I have the same issue on my Eonon GA2170 Android 8.0. I'm 100% sure it is an APN issue. since the device itself doesn't have APN settings, you need to add them to Huawei setting page which is 192.168.8.1 but for some reason chrome doesn't let it open the setup page.

I didn't. I got the unit back the day before I left the country for three weeks! I think it's an APN issue, too. I may dig it out and hook it up to a PC and try to set it up and then re-fit it...
That URL's useful, though - thanks.

I already tried that. On PC, URL opens and i added the APN and it worked so i plugged it my car and same issue, not working.

You know that if you go to settings you can see the specs on the unit.

I too have this issue. Installed my MTCE PX5 unit and connected up my Huawei E8372. I get signal bars but no way to configure or otherwise use the 4G LTE signal through USB.
Currently I have connected to the WiFi hotspot the stick creates which works perfectly, though I would rather get it working over USB.

The same issue for me. Huawei E8372 Bolt branded, MTCE PX5. I have the signal bar, the carrier name, but i haven't the 3g/4g icons and no surf.

i wish someone finds a solution.

@mitchello,
have you already found a solution?
It's the same with me, the signal bar and the name of the provider are displayed, but I can not go online.
I have a Dasaita unit HA5225-V840-8 Android 8
greetings

Only working USB modem I've found is the "Alcatel One Touch Link W800" after going through 4 other USB modems. Unit is a Dasaita PX5 MTCE but flashed to Malaysk 8.0 rom. The APN settings will be handled by the stick itself and connect to the unit as a ethernet connection.
The only issue is that it seems to disable wifi connection on the unit itself. But the USB stick will still broadcast wifi for use with other devices.

@ Dud89,
how is the stick connected? over Wlan?
because the Hauwei E3372 has no Wi-Fi.

This is using the "Alcatel One Touch Link W800" not the "Hauwei E3372". I believe it is a Ethernet connection. The <...> icon that you see on the top toolbar shows up after it disables the WiFi. I cannot use or connect to any WiFi connection unless I unplug the USB modem.

I do not have this symbol, maybe that's from Malasyk Rom, I still have it on Stock Rom.
I will also buy another stick because the Huawei E3372 does not work.
Thanks for the answer.
