trying to share my HTC heros connection with my transformer but it isn't working. Neither bluetooth or wifi.
Running 2.1 by the way.
Another option is if someone gives me a guide to set up internet sharing from windows 7, which I cannot find for the life of me.
no one? ):
Google bridge connections on win 7. I'm not telling you how to do it. You have to do some of the work yourself

googled that before, I can find PC to PC and mostly for windows XP, but nothing on how to create a bluetooth bridge to the transformer ):
Your hero is rooted right? Mine tethers over Bluetooth fine using 'wireless tether for root users'.
Running rooted 2.3.3 on the hero, the updated transformer cant see airshare adhoc network. Wirelessteather also failed in the same way.
Wirelessteather does work with bluetooth.

can you tether your hero to your laptop? does your phone's wifi hotspot work? it is disabled from some carriers
wifi hotspot doesnt work but, I've flashed froydvillain (2.2) and gonna give bluetooth tether a try. And nice to see some hero users in here.

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, for the life of me, cannot get wifi tethering to work. Yes, I'm rooted. And currently running Senseless 3.4.5 rom. With no other customization on kernels, etc.
On Barnacle, when I press start, it says SU permissions granted, runs through a couple commands on the log, then stops and pops up a "root required" error. My other device never even sees the Barnacle SSID pop up.
When using the android wifi tether app, I can connect to the wifi network, but I get no Internet access.
Any ideas what to do? (ATM I'm trying to connect my wifi iPad 2 to the android, which Barnacle says is compatible.)
Try PDANet, Barnacle is crap.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that.
PDAnet is no good. Only uses USB or BT tethering. Not exactly what I was looking for. Also, my iPad seems to have issues with the Bluetooth.
And just like that ... Today the android app decided to start working. Hmm. Oh well, I'm all good I guess.
Wifi Tether is the one I use and it works perfectly. Barnacle doesn't work.

Anyone know how to get bluetooth PAN onto the sensation. I'm trying to share my MBP's internet connection through the bluetooth PAN. I already got it working through airport but i don't want others to see my connection. Yes it will be slower but i'd rather have that then to have my SSID broadcasting.
HTC sense Bluetooth stack is weird and doesn't work for many things. If your using the stock wifi hotspot app then while your in the settings page, press the menu button and click advance. There you can turn off ssid broadcasting.
I got bluetooth PAN working on a cyangenmod 6.0 using a different phone. Of course this version of the app was different back when I ran it. I haven't tried it recently on my htc sensation so it may or may not work for you. I should mention you need a rooted phone. Just stick with wifi since it works well.

Sorry for my bad english.
CM7 FAT S5830 USB Tether
Hi,
I was testing the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM by FAT, and the only trouble is the USB tethering, that still active only for a second (After that, the message USB not connected and pendrive option are displayed).
I googled a little and this is not the only Android phone with this bug.
Is the only help that I can do.
Hey.
I'm using cm7.2 as well and I used EasyTether software. Worked fine for me
Hit THANKS if I helped u
My stock rom had native USB tether. I think that there is any answer for the bug.
Thanks, but Easy Tether is only a patch. Other users report the same bug in other phones with the CM7.

I have an OG Droid 1, and, if I remember correctly, USB tethering worked fine for me on CM7. However, it doesn't work for me on MIUI (1.12.30). But I guess comparing CM7 to MIUI is like comparing Android to iPhone.
I've actually never tried it personally, but your best bet is Wired Tether:
code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether
Just download the .apk file and install it with "App Installer" (I'm almost positive that App Installer comes with CM7; otherwise, it's on the Market). I believe the developers who made Wired Tether also made Wireless Tether (now with the name "WiFi Tether"). There's also PdaNet 3.50 and Easy Tether, but you have to pay for the full versions in order to view https web pages. You also have to pay for ClockworkMod Tether, but there's a free trial period.
I'm not sure why you don't want to use wireless tethering; it's just as fast as USB tethering in my experience. Maybe your PC doesn't support Ad-Hoc networks? I know my Cr-48 (Chrome OS) netbook doesn't support Ad-Hoc networks (really annoying because that's the only internet I have; such a waste). If you want to try wireless tethering, there's Barnacle on the Market, or you can download WiFi Tether:
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether
Thanks for your opinion, but personally i'm posting on this thread, to find a real solution for USB tethering on CM7 FAT.
On open source, the user that help reporting bugs, is many important as the developer that fixes the bug.
That's why I don't use alternative apps.
