Hi all knowing xda gurus,
I have a question for you: Is it possible to connect the Transformer and use the internet from a mobile phone?
I trying to use the WiFi Router application on my HTC HD2, to share the internet with my Transformer and I can't get them to see each other????
Any suggestions?

I can tell you that my Transformer connects perfectly to the mobile hotspots on both my HTC Desire and Galaxy Tab.
Does your WiFi Router application create a real hotspot, or is it an adhoc network? If it is adhoc, it probably won't work out of the box, and I think you'd need to be rooted in order to make the necessary changes.
Regards,
Dave
Hi Dave,
I can't actually distinguish between the two (real hotspot vs adhoc network), but I did start a Desire HD rom on my HD2, then started the WiFi Hotspot app that comes with it.... and surprise, surprise it works....
Good catch and thanks this will have to do until I figure out what to do with the WinMobile WiFi router.

Hi there,
Does usb tethering work? Well, for sure, the native usb tethering won't work, because there are no drivers, but is there an app to make it work? (@HD2 with DHD Rom)

I don't know, there is no usb on the tablet only on the keyboard (which I don't have). As far as I can see in the Adnroid settings "usb tethering" is available though.
Hope this helps,

Hi Guys,
Did you work out the original problem with the Wi-Fi router on the HTC HD2 and the Asus Transformer, im using the exact same combo and they will not see eachother (Wi-Fi) No Wi-Fi at work cos of Security but now i dont have comms to my tablet
Thanx Guys
I achieved this by using the Wifi Tether application, it requires root on the phone (Android phone here, sorry). The biggest problem with mobile-to-wifi internet is that most applications will create ad-hoc Wifi networks, as opposed to hotspots. Transformer with stock software will not even see an ad-hoc network, I imagine this is your issue, too. There two options here:
1) if you want to root the Transformer, it is possible to make it see an ad-hoc version, but changing one of the configuration files.
2) you can use Bluetooth tether instead of Wifi, for most situations it will do the trick. No need to root the TF then.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074317&page=1 (it is about droids, but may help anyway).
I'm also using the Wifi Tether app that came with MDJ ROM for HD2 and it works great... too bad the small battery on the HD2
I havea motorola Atrix,i can tether using barnacle a rooted app, stock mobil hotspot, and through blue tooth. Havent had an issue yet.
Same problem here HD2 (WinMo6.5) + Transformer
I don't want root my transformer (yet)

You don't have to root your transformer to use a mobile hotspot (takinga 3g signal and converting it into a wi-fi router)
If you have any rooted Android phone, you just need to install either Baranacle, Wireless Tether, or Open Garden. All are root-only apps, and you sometimes have to try each to get it to work. At first only open garden worked, wireless tether/barancle didn't. It's very doable though.

You do have to root your transformer for barnacle.
Barnacle creates an ad-hoc connection which the transformer won't see without first rooting and replacing the wpa_supplicant file. Most wifi tether applications do the same thing.

I had the same issue until I tried the settings below. I have a EVO 4G so I don't know if the HD2 is anything like it but if it is then you can try these:
Go into setting
Go into wireless and networks
Go into Hotspot Settings
Go to Menu and click on Advanced
Select LAN settings
Click on DHCP
After that you should be able to connect. If not then your setup is different then mine and won't work. It's worth a try though.

Did you have any success in the end?
My Transformer's just arrived, and I'd like to tether to my rooted Hero, but can't figure it out.
If I choose WiFi mode, the Transformer can't see the Hero in the list of WiFi networks.
If I choose Bluetooth mode, I can pair the devices, but then what? How to I create the network connection? In Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot I turned on Bluetooth tethering, but it's not clear to me if that's to allow the Transformer to be the hotspot (i.e. server instead of client).
(Running VillainROM v13 on my Hero)
This has been a problem for many of us....it has been discussed in a few other threads also. Honeycomb (by default) won't connect to adhoc wifi networks.
I will donate to anyone who can create a hassle-free turnkey solution for this. Many of us have Android phones that are rooted, so a solution would benefit many. And I am using a Tilt 2, whose Android ROMs do not support BT. So this tethering solution needs to support wifi.

I'm also using wireless teather, only I am feathering it via wifi. It works fine.
Success!
I reverted my Hero to the previous ROM I was using, FroydVillain 1.7.2, and now I have Bluetooth tethering working.
Once the devices are paired, on the Transformer screen in the Bluetooth settings, where the Hero shows up, there's a spanner/wrench icon - when I clicked that I got the option to tether to it - this option didn't show up when I was using VillainRom v13.
I may try going back to VillainRom to see if it was something unconnected, such as rebooting the phone, which made the difference.
UPDATE: I went back to VillainRom v13 (Android 2.1) and it still failed to tether with Bluetooth. An Android 2.1 vs Android 2.2 issue, perhaps?
Can anyone else with a 2.1/eclair and 2.2/froyo device confirm this?
Have the same problem CM7(2.3.3)
WiFi or Bluetooth doesn't work.
I don't think we should see the "problem" as our phones. The issue is that Honeycomb (whether on the Transformer or Xoom or whatever) does not recognize ad hoc wifi connections. If that is addressed, this will be solved for everyone.

Here is what I did:
1. Disabled the WiFi on Transformer.
2. Enable WiFi-Tether on Phone (with Bluetooth and check the discoverable option in the settings before you start tethering).
3. Enable Bluetooth on Transformer and scan for devices. (If you already have it, unpair it first).
4. Pair with your phone.
5. Press the Wrench icon beside the phone (that says paired but not connected) on Transformer.
6. You will find a new option called Tethering. Press it and you're done.
Agagin, that's what I did and it worked for me perfectly. I have CM7 on my phone.
By the way, this exact method didn't work on my wife's Sprint LG Optimus S. Tried everything, but no way...
Hope this helps...

I guess Bluetooth is better than nothing, but supposedly there is a hack to get a Xoom to work with ad-hoc, so must be a way to get our Transformers to work with it as well. Guess we just need to play the waiting game. Cant wait to see what options we have in another month. I have the HTC Hero with CM7 and the Transformer, same issues with no tethering, though since im not a bluetooth fan, I really havent tried it yet. Wifi tether works fine with my ubuntu/windows laptops though.
How about USB tethering? Is that an option with our phones and the transformer?

Ad hoc tether is an issue for droid and lots of info can be found on the net and xda.
I have got a hero running villain rom v13 and can run wifi tether with a modified wpa_supplicant file.
See this post
Download the modded wpa_supplicant file, copy to /system/bin, set the permissions as shown and you can then see and tether to your ad hoc hero - dont forget to backup the original file(rename by adding .bak to file and copy to your sd card)
Obviously you need root.

Bluetooth tethering works fine for me using HTC Hero GSM, Wireless tether for root app, rooted using Android 2.2.1, CM6.2 based Elelinux Speedmachine V3. My TF is UK/WW version 8.2.3.13, bluetooth V6.1.2.
Confirmed Ad-hoc wifi doesn't work.
I tried to tether to the Asus Transformer from a 3g IPad using both PDANet and My Wifi 4.0. In each case the Transformer was not able to detect the generated wifi network.
I was able to connect a Windows 7 phone and an IPhone 4 to the same generated wifi hotspots with no problem.
The hotspot wifi ssid was never listed among available wifi networks.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem?
EDIT: SUCCESS!
Finally tethering TO my Transformer from my IPad- though this should work with any phone.
Steps:
1) First have to Root.
This has now been made simple through this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125714
2) Learn how to ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1071584
But important note is that you don't have to go through all the Android SDK installation. The download that you obtain in step 1 will include everything you need to ADB. One of the folders included in the download is root_app. Within it are all the files you need to ADB.
But the guide to ADB is a good read to teach you how to use ADB.
3) Use guide to install and modify wpa_supplicant
Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14089118
Now that you are rooted and have basic ADB knowledge, getting the instructions on this guide to work is easy.
4) On the IPad 3g end either MyWi 4 or PDANet will enable tethering on your jailbroken IPad.
Enjoy my fellow newbies!
The connection created is adhoc, and the stock transformer isn't compatible with that. Try using Bluetooth tethering, or update your iPad to the latest ios firmware. Some people have enabled adhoc on the transformer as well.

I don't have an iPad, but I am able to have my Transformer tether to my Droid X no problem. I can give you the steps I use for that, I'm sure you could generalize it pretty easily to the iPad.
1) On Phone and Transformer: Settings > Wireless & networks > Enable Bluetooth
2) On Phone and Transformer: Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth Settings > Make Discoverable
3) On Transformer: Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth Settings > Click to connect to your Phone under "Bluetooth Devices"
4) On Phone and Transformer: Click "Pair" button to pair your devices
5) If they're not connected after this automatically, repeat Step 3
6) On Transformer: Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth Settings > Click on the wrench next to your Phone's name and make sure that under "Profiles" under "Tethering" it says "Tethered" and not "Use for Internet Access". If it says "Use for Internet Access", click it to start tethering
The next time, since you've already paired your devices you can start at Step 5.
If everything works correctly, you should have the two Bluetooth icons in the system tray as shown in my screenshot. The one on the left meaning Bluetooth is enabled and the one on the right meaning that you are using the iPad's internet connection successfully.

Thanks for taking the time to provide such a great response.
I get all the way to the screen that says "Tethered" but for some reason the Transformer won't detect an internet connection.
I am attaching a screenshot of my IPad which shows a strange symbol where the 3g usually is. I am assuming it is some sort of tethering notification.
The IPad shows connected under bluetooth as does the Transformer.

Strange. I don't have an iPad, like I said, so it's hard to say. I thought this was happening to me, but it actually turned out my phone radio just got into a weird state so i just put it into Airplane mode and back out of it again and it started working. But, in that instance, I wasn't able to reach the internet on the phone either, so obviously it couldn't forward anything through to the Tablet. Wish I had more information to help you out. Maybe, there might be some option somewhere on the iPad that you have to switch on to allow internet to flow through?
Thanks again. Maybe it's an IPad problem, though it is weird that it will tether to a Windows 7 phone and a IPhone 4 but not to a Transformer.

Some more information would helpful. What is it you want to do via Bluetooth? Share content between devices (e.g. music, videos, contacts etc)? Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available? Pairing devices on its own doesn't automatically 'connect' them as such, you need to tell them to do something .
Share the mobile data connection for Internet access where WiFi isn't available.
Unpair them, and then turn on wireless tether. It should ask permission to turn on bluetooth and make discoverable. Then on the transformer, search for devices. It should see the phone. Pair them. Then under paired devices on the transformer, it should show the phone with a little wrench next to it. Click the wrench and there will be the option for bluetooth tethering.
In that case I'm not sure that this is available over Bluetooth. You might however be able to use WiFi tethering, I'm not sure. I'm not quite up to scratch with everything that Cyanogenmod offers. Check under 'Settings' > 'Wireless and network' > 'Tethering' (if available) and see what there is. It might be called WiFi tethering or Mobile AP or something of that ilk. If not then perhaps you could ask over at the Cyanogenmod forums, or wait for someone else here to come up with a better answer .
[EDIT]: @lordgodgeneral: Hmm, interesting. I'll have to check this one out myself and see what I can do with it. I guess there was no need to wait for an answer after all .
Was able to do it through pdanet table beta but still can't do it with wireless thether app.

No, that is not true. You can connect through wifi. I do it every day.
Hi,
I would like to turn my Transformer into a secure Wi-Fi hotspot to share the Internet with other mobile devices. I know that such a program exists for Windows 7, it is called connectify. The purpose is to use my Transformer for example in an hotel , so my mobile phone could connect via Wifi to the Internet via my Transformer and so avoiding to have to pay another fee for using Wifi for my phone.
Thanks for help.

If you go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot, > Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot you can enable this feature here, providing that you already have an existing internet connection. Then go to Configure Wi-Fi hotspot to configure the security settings. (Android Version 3.2)
"enable wifi hotspot" is grey out and can't be chosen.

No, it doesn't work. When I am enabling portable Wi-fi Hotspot, I don't have anymore an internet connection. You can't enable both: portable Wifi-hotspot and " simple" wifi. If you try to enable Wifi, you loose the portable Wifi-hotspot.

I'm not sure that the antenna can handle taking in wifi and dishing it out at the same time.
I just tried doing a backwards bluetooth tether, but with the built in tools I can't tell my phone to use my Transformer for internet, only the other way around. But, you could just do that, put your phone on the hotel wifi and tether from there.
